STRANGE DOUBLE TRAGEDY
 SHOCKED ENGLAND

Newport. Eng, Jan. "A dramatic double tragedy occurred a few nights ago on the Southampton- to- Cardiff ex- press. Just as the train emerged from the Severn. Tunnel the guard was startled to hear several shots. the re- ports proceeding from one of the car- riages. He immediately applied the vacsum brake, and brought the train to a standstill.,
 Getting out and walking along the train. he was mortified to find in a hTst-class compartment the dead bodies of well-dressed man and woman evidently of good position. The wotn- an, who appeared to be about 25 years Of age, was lying on the floor fin pool Of blood. with four shot wounds in the neck. The man was sitting with his back to the~ platform door, shot through the mouth, the bullet having passed out at the back of the neck.
 On the floor. between them, was a heavy. six-chambered. nickel -plated re- volver. All the chambers had been discharged, although at the moment only five bullets could be accounted for From its position the revolver appeared to have fallen from the mans hand. So blackened was the dead mans face by powder, that 1t was at nrst thought he was colored man. The carriage was bespattered with blood. There appeared. however, to be no sign: of a struggle.
 The passengers were. of coures, greatly alarmed by the shots and the subsequent stopping of the train. Some of them got out to. ascertain what had happened. On 1t being found that both persons were, dead, the train re- sumed its Journey, and brought the bodies here
 The identity of the victims and the circumstances surrounding the tragedy were soon established. The girl was Miss Katharine Edith Gwendolin Clarke. aged .21. the daughter of Cap-. tain Clarke, of The Vows, Newport. The mans name was Wintle, and he Is said to have been a Bristol gas en- gineer.
 Mir. Lewis, uncle of the girl, stated that Wintle made the acquaintance of the girl last summer at Cardiff the couple striking up friendship which ripened into love. Her family natural. ly made inquiries into Wintle's career and recently found out that he was married. and that his wife, with their two children. was living at Coventry. Every effort was made to break off the connection, but without avail, and though Wintle was not allowed to visit the girl at her home they correspond ed. --I
 The other day Miss Clarke left the house. stating that she had obtained a situation in Worcestershire. There Is no doubt. however that she met the man at Bristol and was induced by him to take the journey which ended SO tragically. Wintle first shot the girl and then committed suicide

standerd oil in Controversy Over
 Glasgow, Jan. 2.--A-war of rates is in progress between the Standard oil Company of America and the Scotch oil companies, and it threatens to ex- tend to England. #
 Recently the American combany es- tabnshed oil depots in Scotch towns for distribution to retailers In tanks. and the. company is now making a further effort to secure a foothold in Scotland by offering to acquire the rec tail connections of wholesale houses on the basis of a valuation and par ticipation in profits during the next three or four years
 At the end of that time the Amerf- can company would thereby have se- cured an unassaiiable position in the British retail oil trade. The Pumph- erston Company. of Glasgow. has de- cided to offer immediate opposition to the American inroads. This company will establish oil depots in various Scotch towns, and will supply retailers from tank wagons
 The Scotch venture is also to be ex- tended to England Much interest Is attached to the outcome of the threat ened wartare.
 As a result of the war the British Petroleum Company has announced reduction in the price of their oil.

PlttsburR.
 Milan, Jan. 2.--The misrepresentation of municipal moneys, to the extent of $60.000. has been discovered in Naples This sum is portion of Government loan to aid in the practical working of a special law for the industrial development of Naples. The defaIca- tions are alleged to be due to a certain Denora, head of the Public Works De- partment in the municipal offices, who won his post ten years ago by sheer ability among 500 rival competitors.
 Denora is said to have skillfully forged the signatures of the syndic and vice-syndic and city engineer to orders and schemes which had never even been deliberated on. and thus succeeded in procuring the. treasnrer's authorization to draw the required amounts from the Bank of Naples. The frauds have been going on fora pe- riod of fourteen months. the sums drawn varying from S2oo to $10.00O at a time. Moreover, in a single month from one to nine separate drawings took place daily, and seven days run ming Deuora cashed cheques for $500.
 This scandalous affair is complicated by the discovery that number of cheques in question bear the genuine signatures of the Mayor. Prefeet and other leading officials, who, 1t is con jectured, on account of their excessive confidence in their subordinate Denora, subscribed their names without so much as examining the documents pre- scented. Only when the head director of the Bank of Naples urged the mu- nicipality to forward him documents relating to the Government loan &C., count to enable him to close the f1nan- cial year were suspicious aroused. De- nora straiEhtway decamped, and has not .been captured. The Deputy City

=. t- s tries involve risks, some greater than others The accident rate of electricians is excessive. That of coal miners is s.1o per 1000 in the United States to 12s per 1000 In the United Kingdom. This proportion holds among the rail- road employees. We lost 2.50 per 1000 to Gerrnanyf .ss per 1000.

 Two conditions, account for this ex- cessive deatb-rate that runs throughout all our departments of labor.

 Biouses of coIored net. to wear with tailored suits are made over a white lining. tucked all over. and finished off-with collar and cuffs of pompadour silk in the same shade as the net.
 Ruchings hgure as one of the. most becoming fads of the season. They are plaited very full over the tops of the high collars. suggesting a picture from the Elizabethan era.
 The one-piece gown which is built on redtngote lines. and as a fact serves for theatre and afternoon reception costume under fur coats, Is one of the leading favorites of the; season.
 An effective way to give a delicate note of color to a waist is to run rows of hatl floss silk through the Smeshes in parallel lines for the yoke, collar and cuffs. Black and white waists maytb be. treated in this way.
 Pretty 1ounging robes for midwin- ter are cut in kin1ona style from silk and wool blankets. These blankets come in pink and white. blue and white.s and. prettiest of all, dull green and white plaids and stripes
 Unique fin character are the neck laces made of bridges taken from old time watches of English workman ship. The, bridges are all different and must be matched up in size, the hand carving giving them a charming individuality.

Berlin. Jan. "A sensational and dangerous performance. given in the Palace of Varieties here for some weeks past, has ended fatally. The performer was Hungarian acrobat named Arvad Felix, and the perform ance consisted in springing from a ledge on the theatre roof to a long wooden chute placed at an angle of 45 degrees.
 For many days Felix arrived safely on the ground, but few days ago. to make the feat more sensational still, he began to do it blindfolded. On his thirteenth attempt he struck the edge of the chute and fell heavily to the ground His injuries were so terrible that Nhe died within a few minutes.

 Convict One.
 Madrid, Jan. 2.-The trial of the 10.- 900 women whe wefe prosecuted at Bilbao for approving the murder of a faithless lover has resulted in their triumphant acquittal. It was apparent after the final speeches for the prose- cution that sentiment was strongly in favor of such a verdict. It was re- ceived with loud applause, and the crowd around the court house, which included many of the defendants, cheered repeatedly. ,.-
 The girl Jesusa, in whose behalf the address of sympathy was signed by the 10000 women, has become a popular heroine. She Is the most notable wo- man, in that part of Spain. and when she Is released frQgn prison she will have many offers of marriage.
 Many of the defendants are women of striking beauty, and they have like wise received many proposals from suitors who are in sympathy with their views.
 The newspapers publish eulogies of the 10000 women, and point out the tutility of attempting to, stifie public sentiment by public prosecution. The "Ldberal,", which prepared the address for the girl Jesusa, will open fund on her behalf.

IDA M. TARBELL TALKS.
Discusses Payne Tariff Bill and Its
Effect Upon Women.

New York, April 24.-Ida NJ. Tar
bell, well known as the feminine
Standard Oil specialist, gave wo-
mans view of the Payne tariff bill in
an address at the dinner of the AGA
denny of Political Science last night.
81 am not talking of the woman
who goes abroad and comes back with
something contra band up her sleeve,
began Miss Tarbell. 81 am talking of
the woman who never goes abroad
and who practically never buys an i'm
ported article She is the average
American woman.
what has the Payne bill done for
the ten or twelve million mothers
bringing up families on an income of
of a few hundred dollars a year? 1t
has done some curious things. Take
the matter of clothing. To begin at
the head it makes hats and all the
fearful and wonderful things that go
on them dearer. l shall not complain
of this. 1 rather think that we deserve
to be penalized for wearing the things
we do.
ct doesn't matter so much whether
the head is covered or not, but it is of
vital Importance that we should be
shod. We must have hose to begin
with. Our stockings have been stead
lily decreasing in quality and increas-
ing in price.
"Mr. Payne has compensated for
what he has put on hosiery by what
he has taken off from shoes or at least
has tried to take off. The increase in
the cost of shoes in the last few years
has been one of the tragedies of many
working woman.
But how about one other article of
footwear almost as important to wo-
man and children. as the shoe itself
the rubber overshoe In the last three
or four years the price of the storm
rubber has gone up from fifty to sew
enty cents. Mr.. Payne has done moth
| ing to clip the wings of the rubber
| shoe trust, for the duty still remains
