Special Dispatch to The Star.
BRIDGEPORT, Conn. April 1s.-Suc-
cumbing to an attack of pneumonia. Mrs.
Janet Low Wilson, daughter OF former
Congressman Philip Burrill Low of No.
3E Lenox avenue, New York. died today
in the Bridgeport Hospital, whittier she
hal been removed some days ago. Word
has been sent to her relatives in New
York and they have arranged to claim the
body.
Mrs. Wilson was educated at Vassar
College. She became secretary to her
father and on his election to Congress
mingled with the best society at the
National capital. Her beauty and patri-
clan bearing made her a striking figure
wherever she appeared.
Marriage Was Unhappy.
: After an unhappy marriage with j. L.
Riker, jr.. of New York city. she obtained
a divorce and was married to DR.. Claude
L. Wilson, a prominent physician Of
Middletown Conn. This marriage proved
equally unhappy. and DR.. Wilson had her
committed to the Hudson River Sanitar-
ium. There Walter Langdon, the student
son of the physician who conducted the
sanitarium. fell in love with her. On the
evening of July 1. 1905, he connived at
her escape. and the pair, travelling to-
gether managed to reach winsted, Conn,
before their identity was discovered
In order to throw off pursuit they
started back toward this city. At Mil
ford their funds gave out. and there Mrs.
Wilson, thinking she would be forced to
return to the sanitarium, attempted sui
eide by shooting herself in the breast with
Langdon's revolver. She was taken to
the Bridgeport Hospital and Langdon' s
relatives. who had followed the couple.
induced him to leave her. No attempt
was made to recommit the woman, how
ever. and after her recovery from the
wound she dwelt in some of the lowest
resorts of the city.

ALL STAR BASEBALL TEAM
NORTHWEST COLLEGES ENDORSE
PLAN OF COACH LAWRENCE
OF WHITMAN.

To have an all star northwest base
ball team is the latest idea in college
athletics and one which originated in
this city. It has always been the Gus
tom of the colleges over the United
States to pick all star football teams
but the picking Of an all star baseball
team is an innovation, and a good
one.
The idea originated with Coach
Lawrence of the Whitman team, who
consulted Coach Bender while the lat
ter was in this city last week, con-
corning the proposition. Bender heart
lily endorsed the plan and there is little
doubt but that it will be carried out.
Coaches will be allowed TO vote for
the men in the same manner as they
were in football and much the same re-
suit will be obtained. It will furnish
an additional incentive to the collegiate
baseball players to do good work.
In case this idea is realized, Whit
man should get a good percentage of
places with the strong team she will
have this year.

15O,OO0,OOO Barrels a Year.

According to the chief government
forester, the barrel business of this
country is something enormous, as
many as $50, 900, 900 of various sizes.
being manufactured in a single year.
This shows the extent of the demand
which one item makes upon the timber
resources of the country, for the ma
terial has to be carefully selected and
cured by slow drying processes, as we'll
as strongly put together, since it has
frequently to resist pressure from
within as well as severe contact from
without. The heaviest barrel demand
already comes from the cement busi-
ness, that demand is bound to be
constantly growing one. since cement
Is becoming one of the leading build
lug materials of the country. After
cement comes flour, closely followed
by sugar, with oil, lard and pork, max
ing large showing. Barrels for oil,
liquors and the paint trades have to be
especially strong and durable, since
they have to resist internal forces.
Barrels are used many times over and
o, many purposes, finally ending their
service in the fuel pile. When NEE ;
reeeptacles constitute such an item
they stimulate the imagination as to,
the extent and value of the staple con-
tents that they enclose. Boston Tran

1907 exceeded the output of the entire
world in 1888. There was a heavy
falling off in production in this country
during the present year. and it is esti-
mated that the decrease from last
years output will exceed 40 per cent.
The figures for 1907 were 1907, l9I
tons. The estimated decrease for this
year brings the figures back to about
those of 1901.
