MANY GRIMES LAID TO rHIs MAN
One of Most Diabolical Fiends With
Whom Authorities Have Dealt.

Providence, r. l., Feb. 5.--lt Drn-
est Wilhelm Lorenz, a young German
baker, who was given preliminary
hearing in court Wednesday ion the
charge of having murdered Gilbert
Mann three weeks ago, is guilty of
half the crimes to which he confesses
: and others Of which he Is strongly
suspected, he is certainly the most
diabolical fiend with which the police
of this city have ever had to deal
The murder Of Gilbert Mann, which
occurred In the town Of Johnston on
January 8, Is. the first crime for which
Lqrenz Is to be tried. Mann, who was
an old soldier, was waylaid and NOR
akally shot and companion, who was
fth him at the time, was seriously
Wounded. Robbery was the evident
purpose Of the assailant. Mann's com
panion has identified Lorenz as the
murderer and the charge against the
young German was strengthened
when watch positively identified as
having belonged to the murdered
man was found among Lorenz's ef-
fects when his room was searched af-
ter his arrest.
LOrenz denies the murder, but
freely confesses to having either as
saulted or robbed nearly score Of
women, most Of the occasions having
been in towns near Providence dur
ing the past fall and winter. He had
a notebook in which he made a men,
orandum of each assault, filling In
the names after he learned the iden-
tity Of his victims through the news
papers. Upon his own admissions,
and as far as any inquiry can sub
stantiate his statements, Lorenz was
lone operator. Though he admits
he robbed indiscriminately men and
women by holding them up with a
gun on unfrequented thoroughfares,
4 his quest. He only attacked men, he
says, when there were no women
about. Leaving his lodgings early in
the morning or in the evening, he
roamed the streets seeking unpro-
tected women with felonious design
His diary, which he faithfully kept
is record Of success by violence In
his pursuit.
The most fiendish crime which the
police are inclined to lay to the door
Of the young German baker, but
which they have so far failed to fas-
tes on him conclusiyely, was the mur-
der Of Miss Laura REGISTER, who was
found murdered In the Jewish ceme-
terry in the western suburbs Of this
city early on the morning Of May II
last. The discovery of the crime was
made by passerby, who found the
dead and mutilated body Of the
young woman in clump of bushes
Broken bushes and deep marks of
footprints told that the young wo-
man had fought hard for her honor
Big cuts on her head and welts on
the face disclosed that she had finally
been overpowered by the use of a
bludgeon. The motive Of the attack
was a criminal assault. One of the
pathetic features Of the case was that
Miss REGISTER was to have been mar
ried within a fortnight, and when
she met her death she was on her way
to the dressmaker to see about her
wedding gown

as two ounces. whereas the correct
quantity is two pounds.
The correct formula for the first
spray is: One and one-half pounds
of bluestone and three pounds of
lime in fifty gallons of water, to
which add two pounds of arsenate of
lead. For the second spray the
same arsenical compound is recon-
mended, except that the bluestone in
this should be increased to two and
one-half pounds.

How They Can &c Used rsr Artissl4
c1eocra,;sno.
The woman who clings to the I'D
fashioned habit of excepting things
is sure to have shawl somewhere
among her possessions Shawls went
to the attic aud the storeruom several
decades ago, when their career o.
fashion ended.
An artistic arrangement makes OF Il
shawl both wall hanging and a
cover for the top of an upright piano.
Before the shawl is hung a strip of
strong, dark colored cotton cloth should
be sewed securely along one edge and
loops of silk cord attached to this.
These loops are fastened to picture
hooks. so that the shawl may be sus-
pended from the picture molding with
out the use of tacks.
In room with ceiling Of average
height and a molding placed at the
usual distance from the ceiling a
shawl hung in this way will reach
long enough to cover the top with the
border hanging above the music rack.
This is Il satisfactory arrangement for
increasing the apparent height of a
low ceiling Above the piano, cover
ing the center of the shawl, which is
always plain piece of red or black
or white cashmere an ivory toned
plaster bas-relief may be hung. A
framed photograph or an etching will
be equally suitable but colored pic
ture must not be used.
All old shawls are entirely too deli
cate to be used as couch covers.
though many of them have come to
their untimely end through such usage.
They are too rare and beautiful for
rough handling. They must be look
ed over occasionally as precaution
against moths.-Delineator For March.

THE
G RAN c Z
PATENT NOSTRUMS
FOR TREES,

A word of warning in regard to
the use of new spraying materials
has again been sounded by Prof. H.
A. Surface. the State zoologist: In
reply to letter from Franklin coun-
ty, seeking information about a new
insecticide which has been put on
the market, he wrote:
Il beg to say that ! have not had
opportunity to test it, and | do not
know any practical or scientific per-
son who has done so. surely
it, excepting to a very limited ex-
tent. You know very well that the
claims made for it are such as the
manufacturers make for every in
secticide and fungicide that is
brought on the market. 1t is al
ways wise to avoid the use of all
these patent nostrums and new tree
medicines. until you have the time
to demonstrate the usefulness of a
few of them, or until you can get
thoroughly reliable information con-
cerning them, obtaining this from
sources which you know to be re-
sponsible.
| do know that the commercial
lime-sulfur solutions, if not diluted
too much, will clean up the San
Jose scale. Also, the home-boiled
lime-sulfur wash will do the same.
They need only to be diluted with
cold water and are easy to handle,
and. therefore, you do not need to
run the risk of injuring your trees
as in the case of untested materials.

How to Clean a Gas Stove.

Wien cleaning your gas stove you
will find that cloth moistened with
kerosene oil will remove grease and
dirt more easily than one wrung out
in soap and water 1t is essential to
keep the air mixers, or lungs" of the
stove clean, for if they are clogged
with bits of food or dust the fresh air
cannot mingle freely with the gas.
When the flame burns yellow or red
instead of bright blue it is an iudica-
ton that much heat is being lost FOR
want of air. A bicycle pump will often
clean out the burners quickly. When
giving the stove a thorough cleaning
boil the CRATES and burners in a pan
of water in which there is plenty of
washing soda. If a clean newspaper
is folded to fit the galvanized tray un-
der the burners it will catch a great
deal of refuse. The paper may be
removed daily, and such practice will
save much scrubDing of the tray.

CARE OF FURNITURE.
How Upholstered Pieces Can Be Clean
ed by a Simple Method.


1t is not always possible to take up
holstered furniture into the open for n
thorough cleaning and beating. In
cities or where there is neither yard
nor porch for such work many house
keepers make this lack an excuse for
letting furniture get into a condition
that would horrify them could they
realize the germs and dirt concealed.
This is the less eXcusable as even
heavy tufted furniture can be kept
clean indoors without raising a tornado
Of dust.
Here is simple plan:
Wiring out of warm water a cloth
that is large enough to cover a large
portion of the furniture. The cloth
should not be linty and should be just
damp and not wet.
Beat the cloth well with a rattan
beater. When one side has become
dusty the cloth can be turned. Some
times it VIII be necessary to use sew
eral cloths on a single piece. Continue
until the cloth is not soiled. The dust
sticks TO the wet surface. and the fur
niture is freshened by the treatment
If the color of the furniture is not too
delicate the cloths can be wrung from
hot ammonia water to still further
brighten the covering.
If the beating has not removed dust
from the corners of tufted furniture Ii
should be attacked with a small, stlfi
toothbrush. Better yet, two can be
used. first a dry one to get out the
worst of the dirt and then one just
moistened with hot water to act like
the damp cloth.
Remember moistening does not mean
wet Make mistake and your furni
ture is streaked, possibly ruined
When the upholstery is clean, rub III
| the woodwork with a polish.

How to Save a Burned Cake.

When cakes do the most trying thing
to the baker-burn on the sides and
bOttom-instead Of moaning over your
loss, seek to repair it, Unless the burn
is deep it will not alter the taste of the
cake, though perhaps it will be lit
tie drier in consequence. 1t Is so un-
slightly that it must be covered up at
any cost. Instead of cutting off the
edges Of the cake with knife, as Is
usual, try removing the black with n
fine crater. This removes all the dark
er portions and leaves a smooth sur
face for icing. Clean, fine sandpaper
can be used in the same waya The
cake must be handled delicately and
not until cold, or it will fall and turn
soggy. Ice on the brown side, and II
burnt on the edges as well as bottom,
particularly in small cakes, cover the
sides as well as top with icing.
