"ST. ELMO" AUTHOR DEAD
Heart Failure Causes Death of Augusta
Evans-WiIsOn.

Mobile. Ala, May 10.-Mrs- Augusta
Evans Wilson, the well known south
ern author, died Sunday from an at
tack of heart failure.
No author of the last generation
had a. greater vogue, perhaps, than
Augusta Jane Evans. Her "St. Elmo
gained her a fame as wide as the ma
ton and her books were read in near
" every household, especially in the
south, where her admirers were num-
bered by thousands.
The author was born in Columbus,
Ca, May s, 1885. When a child she
removed with her father to Texas, re-
siding in San Antonio from 1S47 to
1S49, when the family moved to Mo-
bile.
She was educated entirely by her
mother. While her parents lived in
San Antonio, which was then a
frontier town. the Mexican war was in
progress. After the family settled in
Mobile she entered a school there, but
delicate health compelled her to
leave it.
She was a jealous sympathizer of
the south during the civil war and was
a constant visitor among the sick and
dying soldiers.
'1nez, a Tale of the Alamo" was
probably her first work. 1t was pub
Iished anonymously in 1856. In 1853
her novel, "Beulah,'' the first work to
attract wide attention to her genius
appeared and became immensely pop
ular. Besides est. Elmo" her other
we'll known works are "Macaria, -
"Vashti', and "Infelice."
She was married to L. M Wilson OF
Mobile in 1868.

IS MERCURY A CURE :?
Being Used in Battle Against the
White Plague.

Washington, May 1O-One year has
elapsed since Surgeon B. L. Wright, L.
S. N, treated the first case of tuber-
culosis at the naval hospital at Las
Animas, Colo, with the mercury treat
ment, the surgeons own discovery.
During that time statistics of the hos
pitaI show that of those cases showing
marked Improvement, 100 per cent took
mercury treatment and none took rou-
tine treatment solely.
OF the fatal cases. 81 per cent took
the mercurial treatment and IS per cent
took the routine treatment only. From
this favorable showing Surgeon Wright
has recommended that mercury be
adopted as the regular treatment for
tuberculosis at Las Animas. making it
compulsory at the discretion of the
hospital staff
OF the 127 tuberculosis patients at
the hospital at present 80 are volun-
tarily taking the mercurial treatment.

1.-THE IDEAL FAMILY.
Costs From Three to Five Thousand
Dollars to Raise Child.

Chicago, May 10.-Rev. D. D.
Vaughn, who has been delivering a
series of talks on THE Ideal Family
believes an itemized account of the
cost of rearing boy should be pre-
served and presented to him.
He said: parents should always let
a boy know that it has cost a great
deal OF money to rear him. 1t is es-
timated that a child costs its parents
from $4,000 to $4,000. When a boy
reaches the age of q years. his faith
err should present him with a bill for
the amount he cost him to raise.
Whether the boy ever pays the bill or
not makes no difference He is taught
2 lesson that he probably will never
forget"
good idea for parents to open their
chiIdren's mail.

LIT MATCH ON AN AUTO
Young Lumber Man Was Then Taken
to Chicago Jail.

Chicago. May 10.-John Rabbit who
is only 81 and presumably thoughtless,
could find no other surface on which to
scratch the match that was to light the
cigarette he had just rolled but the
highly polished body of Arthur Ben
nett's automobile. Every time he whip
ped the lucifer along the vanished
wood. and he did so several times, he
left a track that only more varnish
would obliterate.
Bennett who had recently had his
machine renovated. shouted to Rab-
bitt to desist. but Rabbit. who is a
lurberman and husky, ignored the pro-
test and continued to scratch until he
got the desired light.
Then a policeman placed him under
arrest for malicious mischief.

PARl- MUTUEL MACHINES.
Are Worked With Great Success at
Louisville Tracks.

Louisville Ky, May 10.-Managers of
the local course are enthused over the
success of the pari-mutuel machines
the last week. Instead of the loss
which was manifest last year, the end
of the first six days racing has dis
played a substantial profit here. By
many it is regarded as sealing the
doom of bOokmakers, so far as this
course is concerned. One of the chief
pleas made by the Latonia track man
agement, which has larger population
to draw from, is the fact that the
courses VIII have to be operated at a
loss if the slot machines" are insisted
upon. More than half million dollars
was handled in the mutuels last week
here.
