Laporte, Ind, May 7.-Rain forced
the police to desist in their efforts to
dig up additional dead on the charnal
place of Mrs. Belle Guinness today.
One of the four skeletons unearthed
Wednesday was today identified as the
body Of Miss swanhilda Guinness,
daughter of Mrs. Guinness second
husband.
A message just received from Prov
idence, R. l., says that w. H. Mason
of that city, answered Mrs. Guinness
matrimonial advertisements, corre-
sponded with her for several months
and finally left for Laporte, announcing
that he was going to marry the woman.
He is believed to be one of the VIC
tins whose remains were discovered
yesterday, but positive Identification
has not been made.
Last night two young men made
an attempt to carry away the bodies
stacked in the barn on the Guinness
farm, but were driven away by the
va.chman. 1t is believed that these
young men are attached to the Chicago
end of the conspiracy.
1t was estimated by the police today
that the victims of the arch murderess
would number at least twenty. This
is based on the information now in
hand and the number may be increased
when further excavations are resumed
tomorrow.

Hotel KEYS.

1T takes just about 500 new keys
year to keep us going" remarked
Dave Mills, assistant manager of the
Euclid, the other day. That does
not include the keys that are carried
away and returned by mail. Then
lots of people take the metal tags off
keys in order to carry the keys in
their pockets, and the tags get lost.
Sometimes a guest will return key
that he has carried for a year or so.
But the funniest proposition l ever
struck was this: We got a letter
one day from a man out in Des
Moines, Ia, who wrote to apologize
for not returning a key he had taken
away. He said he found that the key
just fitted the front door of his home
and as his wife had lost the key to
the house a few days before, he felt
obliged to keep the key from the
Euclid, much as he hated to do it,

BristoI's New Docks.

Bristol, England, is rejoicing over

dock and port facilities In the world.

Will make her the English port of the
FAST mail service between England and
America She has unrivalled natural
advantages in this respect. The test
or this service Is the quickest time
between New York and the general
postoffice in London, and as Bristol
is only two hours by rail from London
and is several hours nearer to New
York by sea than Liverpool, she has
superior claims to the selection. Ply
mouth is no nearer New York and the
rail journey from Plymouth to Lon
don is between four and five hours.
The new dock is 875 feet long and 100
feet broad and will easily accommo-
date a much larger boat than the two
new leviathians, Lusitania and Maui
retania. The wharfage is on a propor-
tionate scale, and this historic port.
with record of more than a thousand
years, expects a great boom.

MAKING AND LOSING FRIENDS.
Reflective Man Points Out Fault of the
People Of To-day.

I'm not so sure" observed the doc
tor refiectively, as he watched the
smoke curl upward from his cigar,
t. at we Americans are not neglecting
one of the most important Of the arts
the art of making friends. It
wouldn't do anybody a bit of harm to
take half an hour off and sit down to
go over the accessfons to his friends
within the past year or So Incident
ally, he might reflect on what he has
done in the way of keeping up old
friendships. 1t seems to me that peo-
pie drift apart very quickly nowadays.
Absorption in business is one factor
making for this end; another is the
growing Discrimination to keep UP any
sort Of correspondence, and a third is
tendency, increasing as the years
go by, TO let ones personal interest
become more conferred. All OF these
things initiate against the making of
new friends, as well as helping to
loosen the bonds holding the old ones.
The fault" he concluded, isn't in the
people whom we meet; it's in our
selves, and we might as we'll realize
1t. Let us look for likable qualities,
and not the reverse. There is such a
thing as being too cautious about our
acquaintances. and thus shutting our
selves off from much pleasure and
profit"
