MYSTERIOUS MURDER.
Young Woman Found Dead in Chicago
Rooming House.

New York, May 1O.-What is believed
to have been a peculiarly atrocious and
mysterious murder was revealed last
night when the battered body of Miss
Mary Malone was found in the little
room she had occupied only one day in
East Thrty-first street. Late Satur-
day night she had appealed to the wo-
man conducting the rooming house for
shelter. saying that she was without
funds and had been elected from her
former home. .~' -
She was apparently well at noon yes
terday when the mistress of the house
served her with tea. But when the
room was entered last night, the young
woman was found dead on the bed with
evidences of having received a fright
full beating. Great welts on her head
and body indicated that her assailant
had used a club.
So far as known. Miss Malone had no
visitors, but it is said that it would
have been easy for a stranger to have
assembled the stairs and reached the
young woman's room unnoticed by
other occupants of the house.

Mccall. widow and her daughter,
Miss Elizabeth Mccall, 10 years old,

their home in New Orleans, to col

WORLD LOVES A HERO.
Soldiers Are Not the Originators of
War Disturbances.

Chicago, May 10.-Bishop Fal1ows
is not in complete accord with the
sentiments of the recent peace con-
vention and upholds the views ex-
pressed by General Grant at the clos
ing banquet.
1.-THE soldier, as General Fred D.
Grant has stated said Bishop Fail
lows, docs not originate war He
may be the most strenuous advocate
of peace The cause of universal
peace will not be advanced by der1d-
ing the soldiers bravery. All the world
loves a hero and will continue to love
him.
General disarmament is consum-
nation devoutly to be wished. But 1t
would be suicide for any one nation
to disarm while the other nations are
multiplying the ornaments of war. 1t
may be paradox for the United
States to multiply ships of war and
coast defenses while its mission Is
clearly to bring peace to the world.
But the paradox is no greater than
that contained in the words or CHRIST.
1--WE are ready as people to take
the lead in disarmament but until
the nations are ready to follow we
will have a navy that will proportion
ally match that of any other power
on the globe"

HUMAN SACRIFICE.
Deaf and Half Blind Crippled Boy the
Victim.

Washington, May 1O.-The bureau
of insular affairs has made public a
special report of an investigation into
a human sacrifice offered up by the
tribe of the Bagobos, in the Davao dis
trict of Moro province in the Philip
pines.
The Datto of the tribe, as well as
two men and two women were sem
fenced to life Imprisonment for the
crime, but they were paroIed upon
the solemn pledge of the entire tribe
never to repeat such a sacrifice. The
indirect cause of the sacrifice was
years of drouth and misfortune for the
tribe But it's immediate reason, as set
forth in the report, was the death of
the husbands of two women of the
tribe-the same who We're later SEN
fenced to imprisonment-and the fact
that the widows could find no success
sors for them 1t was to satisfy the
spirits of their departed ones that the
sacrifice was deemed necessary.
A deaf and half blind crippled lad
a slave who had been a wedding gift
was picked out for the sacrificiaI lance.
and after many weird tribal cere-
monies was killed by lance welded

HE LIVED 81 YEARS.
Never Had Anything to Do With Medi-
cine or Doctors.

New York, May 10.-Gilbert F..
Alderman, 80 years old, who for more
than 40 years had lived in strict seclu-
sion in his home on Riverside Drive.
on the fortune he had made in the
-four business, died yesterday, refusing
to have a doctor. All his life he ridi-
culed medicine and doctors and would
not permit either in his home. His
eldest son became a physician and
therefore had not been in the house
for many years until after his fathers
death.
Mr.. Alderman built high fences
about his property so that neighbors
could not look in upon him, he said,
but in recent years tall apartment
houses were erected ON either side and
back of his home and since then he
had rarely left the house. Mr. Acker-
man is survived by a number of rela-
tives in Chicago st. Louis and Denver.

Health Commissioner Evans OF Chi

Chicago, May lot is time to be-
gin the fight on flies. HeaEh Com
missioner Evans has sounded the
warning in his weekly bulletin on Chi
cago's health.
Death turks on the feet and wings
of the innocent looking housefiy, he
says, and science must come to tho
aid of the people to fight the diseases
that travel from sick rooms to the
cribs of babies on these flies.
In the war on the fly, the report
prescribes the best deaths for the in
sects. It gives the formula for a pois-
on that will Kill the flies and not en-
danger human life.
A dram Of bichromate of potash,
dissolved in two ounces of water and
sweetened is the cheap and effective
method of encouraging the flies to Kill
themselves.
There are other sanitary regula-
lions, though, that the health report
says ought to be exercised.
Here are some of the ways sug-
gested:
Screen all food-especially milk.
Keep flies away from the sick-es-

and other refuse. .,-.
Keep garbage receptacles tightly
covered. Clean cans daily. Clean
the boxes every week. Sprinkle them
with kerosene or chloride OF lime.
