SUDDEN INSANITY THE CAUSE
Two Tragedies Result in Death of
Three Persons and the Probable
Death of Fourth.

New York City.-Two tragedies re.
sulting in the death of three persons
and the probable death of a fourth
occurred in New York or it's vicinity.
Both are laid to sudden insanity, the
result of sickness and worry.

denly seized his sister-in-law, Mrs.
Elizabeth Brust, and, dragging her to
small bedroom, shot and killed her
and then committed suicide by shoot.
ing himself. Members of the family
said Waters had brooded much over
the fact that he had been unable to
get work, and that this had undoubt,
edly unsettled his mind.
The other tragedy occurred in Eliz-
abeth, N. j., where Mrs. George w.
Wenke, wife of an engineer, shot her
nine-year-old daughter and then killed
herself by taking poison. Temporary
insanity, the result of illness, is given
as the probable cause of the act.

FUNNY THINGS OF MErHoDIsM

''Some Funny Things in Methodism, 2

Hubbard, although be at the same time
realized its seriousness was that Metho-

criticism"
The fire and vim of the old Methodist
fathers has given away to dilletantteism
and the "higher criticism" according to
Mr.. Hubbard. He contrasted its loWly
inception and struggles with its present
development. "Did our fathers intend
that the Methodist Church should be what
it is to-day?' Mr.. Hubbard asked. He
thought not.
Mr.. Hubbard thought that present
Methodism wasn't making good"

fathers intended that weshould have," be
added.
That reminded him Of the story Of the
physician who asked the little boy what
he would rather have, little sister or

''And that's what we present day
Methodists are asking" he declaerd.

doctrine and fire Of our Methodist fore
fathers.
Let US Methodists grasp every oppor-

for the night was to be used for dance
during the evening. He didn't complain.
