The Santa Fe railway has solved the

the train officials will go through
every car on the Santa Fe, and throw
every public drinking cup out the car
windows. The only means left for Sc
curing a drink of water after that
time will be by using individual cups,
which can be carried by the passen-

a nominal sum. Both waxed paper

CARD FROM MRS. MAITLAND.
Explains Facts About Her Family and
Daughters Insanity.
Topeka, Kan, Aug. II, 1909.

1opek2, Kan, Aug. II, 1913.
To the Editor of the State Journal:
In justice to myself, l write to correct
some, mistakes in your report of my
State Journal August 18th.
F'trst-Her father, w. J. Maitland, was
not a Baptist minister. He was brought
up a Catholic and educated in Catholic
college, but never identified himself with
the church. The Baptist church has never
supported us.
My daughter has been member of that
nesses individuals of the church have
been very kind to her and myself. AS to
myself, L became member with my for
mer husband, w. E. Bowker, of the First
Congregational church in 1864, and have
been member ever since and in every
time of trouble (and I have had much)
that church has stood staunchly by me,
both pecuniarily and strong Christian
sympathy They have never failed me-
l have my pension. but as to my otl1r
means of support it concerns one but
ourselves. My daughter never has sup
ported us. She has only taken care of
herself. 1t is true she had a contract
with embroidery firm In New York
but her health never permitted her to do
more than take care of herself.
1t is true that 1 am deaf, but the sensa-
tional story that she reading to US
in the yard is without foundation for she
fer to do our own reading.
She ate her supper in apparently good
health and usual retired to her room
and in less than an hour had an attack
of acute hysteria. which ended by the
advice of doctors in her being taken to
the state hospital for the insane.
MRS ELEANOR J. MAITLAND.
