NEW DEATH AGENT
Chemistry Student Suspected of Kill
= ing Aged Belgian.

r. ing Aged Belgian.
Berlin, Oct. 6.-What is believed to
be the first criminal case in which
radium figures as a death dealing
agent is engaging public attention at
the university town of Liege, Belgium.
A wealthy old bachelor named Pailin
was found dead in his fiat. A stroke
of apoplexy was at first believed to be
the cause of death. but closer exam
ination of the body revealed a curious
discoloration of the scalp.
A specialist, called in to view the
looked as though it had been exposed
for long time to the influence of ra-
dunn This led the police to interro-
gate separately all the tenants of the
house, which was NJ. Pailin's proper
ty. On that day chemistry student
who occupied an apartment in the
building fled.
Al examination of his rooms by en-
perts showed that he had occupied
himself largely with radium prepara-
tions. The police theory is that NJ.
Pailin was done to death by a sys-
tematic application of radium rays
to his head, perhaps during sleep.
Radiations of brief duration would
do no harm, but prolonged exposure
might be deadly to an aged person
in bad health.
The dead man had apparently no
relatives or friends and no one seems
to know anything of his private af-
fairs. SO that it is impossible to say
whether any of his property is MISS
ing. At the present moment it GER
tainly looks like case of deliberate
murder by radium.

WESLEY CIPHER
Great ,Methodisfs Diary in Cryptic.
gram Translated.

London, Oct. 6.-Publication of the
results of Prof. Wallace's Shakes
pearean research owe hadowed the
interesting announce o. of one of
the most remarkable xs ments Of
recent. literary researG III has
just been completed. This ran
lation of large number of s. O. ss-
ley's original diaries and maifS;pe. ;.
which have been carefully cofNer|
in America and England. TkE
documents, the existence of which htfs>
grown mythical. were traced. Their
contents were written in q curiously
and elaborately abbreviated longhand,
in obsolete shorthand, and in a highly
complex and keyless cipher.
The Rev. Nehemiah Curnock, with
the assistance of expert students,
spent four years in the work of de-
ciphering the cipher used chiefly in
an Oxford diary, and relating to relig-
ious beliefs. The cipher for a long
time baffled Mr.. Curnock, but a miss
ing letter at last came to him in a
dream.
New Light on His Character.
The documents throw new and
strange light on the development of
Wesley's character, on his literary,
political. and social activity in Amer
lea, on the part he played in the Gre
alton of new church hymnology,
and on his early life at Oxford. New
versions of early journals have come
to light, including beautiful account
of the famous Georgian love affair.
The discoveries will necesitate the
rewriting of the great religious teach
er's life. 81, ~a
The Shakespeare Reading society is
much perturbed by Prof. Walface's
claim that he has settled the site of
the Globe theatre. This has long been
held to have been on a portion of
the ground on which Barclays histor-
ic brewery stands, and Friday next
had been fixed for the unveiling by
Sir Beerbohm Tree of bronze me-
mortal tablet. y 49,.
William Martin, chairman of the 80
ciety, speaking from IAN intimate
knowledge of the locality and from
many researches" declares emphati-
cally that there is nothing in Prof.
Wailace's discoveries to prove the
position selected for the tablet is
wrong. He adds:
Iss. ~ am contented4 that In the matter
Of the location of the Globe play
|,honse he has made Inaccurate deduc-
tions from the materials at his dis
posal. due probably to his imperfect
acquaintance with the locality"
Mr.. Martin complains that Prof.
Wallace had the facts on which his
articles are based for many years, yet
he only discloses them a week before
the unveiling of the memorial. the
proposal to erect which has been pub
lie property since April. 1908.

lon, 1t Is said. They complain of ev-
erything French.
Our fashions are too pronounced; !;
our ladies are too careful of their
frocks at street crossings; the dresses
are too short, or too long, or too
tight.
They rail against gayety Of gauze
and the transparency of tissue: and
they wax especially indignant in their
opinions of the low cut" dress and
the bare arm and shoulder.
What on earth would these German
ladies say were they to see Andrew
Carnegie in bare legs and kilt?
A fair American dame declared the
other day she did not consider French
dresses really chic. She said no
French tailor, man or woman, could
equal the American when it came to
making a genuine tailor-made Dress
AS proof of her assertion she cited
the universal fact of Americans being
the bet dressed men in the world.
There would seel.i to be some rea-
son in this. Certainly the cut and
finish of the American tailor is with
out rival, and since he is employed
by the women as we'll as the men,
it goes without saying that the ladies'
claim to outrivaling their French sis
ters would seem to be easily founded.
Even your own Lillian Russell
claims she can get prettier lingerie
in New York than in Paris. and Lii
lian should know what she is talking
about.
And get. withal. the mudistes and
dressmakers OF the famous Rue lie

all fashionable New York anl Paris
thronging about their doors. Fortu-
nately the world is large and there is
room for every one and for all tastes.

MOBILES NOT BAD
Heiresses to Prove They Are Happy
With Husbands.

VlUu HuSUduuSs
Paris, Oct. 6.-Some of the amaz-
Ing marriages of young mobiles with
pretty American heiresses, which
have not turned out badly. have given
rise to sort of international syndi-
cate of successful marriages." In

These ladies, who are perfectly hap
py with their titled husbands, are
growing weary of the eternal cant of
the misery of International marriages,
and they have determined to put a
stop to tiff they can.
The syndicate does not propose to
carry on a propaganda in favor of
marriages between foreigners, but it
does propose to establish the fact of

of this kind.

WAR IN INDIA
Government Plans Expedition Against
Waziri Tribesmen.

London, Oct. 6.-Another expedition
against the warlike Waziri tribesmen-
who inhabit the northwest frontier
of India, with strong probability
of the extension of the operations into
kabul, is regarded as almost a GER
tainty of the near future by those
close in touch with the Indian gov
ernment. The unrest in these regions
is pronounced. Small British posts
have been subjected to raids for
months, and political and army off,
GERS have been killed by the fanattcal
tribesmen.
Those conversant with the situation
are satisfied that the agitation is be-
ing engineered from Afghanistan.
Arms and ammunition are reaching
the tribesmen in alarming quantities
from across the Afghan frontier.

New Corporations

Among the list of charters issued to
corporations by Secretary Blaisdell we

In reference to the former inccrpora-
ton we may explain that owing to the
fact that the charter of the Building L.
Loan Association having expired by
limitation of law, being twenty years
since issued, the present corporation was
organized by the same stockholders and
directors to take up and continue the
business of the old corporation. The
! financial statement which will be pub.
listed next week will show that the bust
ness has been profitable and that the
Association is in good financial condi
ton.
