Both Found Dead.

The young woman was found in a
heap on the seat Of the cab. Her face
was covered with blood. There was no
pulse, and it was found that she was
dead.
A bullet wound in the right side of the
head, together with powder burns on the
flesh, told how she had met her end. Fired
at close range, the bullet had completely
passed through her heart
A hurried examination of the man re-
vealed that he. too, was dear, having
shot himself through the heart.
There was nothing the hospital physi-

TOLD TO DRIVE TO HOSPITAL

READING, Pa. February 1I.-While
speeding along in a taXicab here early

years, was shot and killed.
Her companion, George E. knaut, twen-
ty years old, after directing the chauf-
feur to hurry to a hospital. turned the
revolver that killed the girl upon himself
and sent a bullet into his heart, dying
almost instantly.
Whether there had been a quarrel or the
two had agreed to die together has not
yet been definitely determined Lewis
Becker, the chauffeur, is unable to throw
any light on the affair. The police be-
lieve. however, it was a case of deliberate
murder and suicide.
Hire Cab in Early Morning.
The couple engaged the taXicab in the
business section of the town shortly be-
fore = o'clock this morning, the young
man telling the chauffeur to drive to the
girls home, in the northern section of the
city. When the vicinity of the young
woman's home was reached the chauf-
feur was startled by a revolver shot in
side the cab.
simultaneously with the report the front
window of the cab was shattered. The
driver heard the whiz of a bullet over his
shoulder.
A moment later, Becker declares. the
man in the cab yelled eXcitedly, Drive
to the hospital" Recognizing that some
thing serious had occurred, Becker rushed
| the machine to the Reading Hospital.
Just as he entered the hospital grounds
there was a second shot inside the cab.
Hating at the hospital door. Becker sum-
moned the night nurse and she in turn
called the interneS.

DEEP-SEATED COUGH
CURED IN FIVE HOURS.
New Homemade Syrup.
(Cut this OUT
From Boston Post.

Progress in medical compounds
never ceases, and now 1t is stated by
prominent medical man that any
deep-seated cough or cold ON the
lungs can be actually cured in five
hours by the clock. Opium or NOR
phine have been resorted to in the
past, as relief measures. But now 1t
is learned that the system must be
treated to rid It of Inflammation and
congestion. A tonic laxative cough
syrurp does the work so quickly and
thoroughly as to be almost magical.
What heretofore has taken weeks to
cure can be accomplished in hours.
Get this formula filled or mix 1t at
home and always keep 1t on hand:
One-half ounce fluid wild cherry
bark, one ounce compound essence
cardiol and three ounces syrup white
pine compound. Shake the bottle and
take twenty drops every half hour
for four hours. Then take one-half
to one teaspoonful three or four times
a day until the system is purified and
toned up. Give children less according
to age. One filling will usually cure
q whole family, as the dose is small.

NOW NOR NEVER WAS
INSANE.

White Plains, N. Y, July 27.-When
Harry X. Thaw entered the court room
this morning, during the hearing of
his application for release from Mat
teawan asylum, he looked unusually
buoyant.
Il will never go back to Mattea-
wan" he said. Il am satisfied with
the way the hearing has gone and am
not afraid to face Mr.. Jerome"
Thaw is eager to take the stand in
his own behalf. DIR. Evans. who de
clared yesterday that Thaw was moi
now and never had been a paranoias
resumed the stand this morning. eIr
my opinion Mr.. Thaw is now sane,
were the first words he spoke.
Changes His Opinion
DR.. Evans stated in reply to Ques-
tions. that Thaw has no delusions or
hallucinations at this time. Mr.
Jerome in his cross examination of
DR.. Evans, called attention to his for
mer testimony, when he declared
Thaw to have been insane for a
year before he killed White. DR..
Evans stated that later information
given by Thaw caused him to modify
his opinion. Regarding his brain storm
testimony which aided Thaw in gain
ing verdict of insanity in his trial,
Dr. Evans said he thought the facts
upon which this report was based
were true at the time, but he no
longer believed them to be true.
DR.. Evans was followed by Susan
A. MarrilE, who testified that she
knew Thaw under several other
names in 1902. when he rented rooms
from her. claiming to be. a theatrical
agent placing young girls on the stage
throughout the country.

will comprise fifteen guardsmen and
three officers, of whom the adjutant

Today in speaking of the target
practice, General Ford said that pres,
