COULDN'T LEAVE HUSBAND.
Wife Kills Spouse and Attempts to
End Her Own Life.

New York, Nov. 14.-Dr. Theodore
Burgtorf was shot and killed by his
wife, Anna, in their home in Bronx
Borough to-day.
After shooting her husband, Mrs.
Burgtorf turned the revolver on her
self, the bullet entering her abdo-
men. She was taken, in an uncon-
scious condition, to hospital, where
it was said she probably would die.
1t developed that Mrs. Burgtorf had
been long the victim of facial dis
ease, which caused her great pain.
This, she gasped out at the hospital,
made her wish to die and she shot
ner husband, who is a prominent ply
sician, because she could not bear to
leave him.
The physician was shot as he lay
sleeping, the bullet penetrating his
side. When Burgtorf rolled to the
floor and breathed his last his wife
quickly shot herself twice in the abb
domen and side.
Before she lapsed into unconscious
ness she told the story of her suf-
fering and the consequence. OF her
husband she said:
Il just couldn't bear to die and
leave him behind" she moaned.
jealousy, Yes, that is what it was.
Maybe it was selfishness of me, but i
just could not help it,
Although in an extremely critical
condition, Mrs. Burgtorf refused to
let the hospital surgeons operate on
her tonight. She was determined
to die, she said feebly, and would
sanction no attempt to prolong her

the lands in Warren township are as
sessed for taxation at $3.50 per acre,
and if the township goes to Bamberg
county it will be assessed at IS to

We heard a few days ago of some

A member of the house of repre-
sentatives from Greenville county will
introduce a bill in the next legisla-
ture to abolish social clubs, claiming
that they confer special privileges on
a certain class of citizens. He is ex-
actly right, and we hope such a bill
may pass. We would like to see
every social club in South Carolina
abolished, for they allow their mem
bers to sell and keep whiskey when
the poor man can't do it. Of course
the city man is against the dispen-
sary, for he gets all the whiskey ne
wants at his club, but it is crime
for the poor man to do likewise. We
are opposed to special privileges to
anybody, and We therefore say abol-
ish every social club in every city IN
the State, where it sells or stores
liquor. That's, what you do where
the members are laboring men.

STRONG PLAY; GOOD MORAL.

THE Only Law" the play of New
York life in which Miss Corinne Smell
will be seen in the stellar role at the
Illinois Sunday night is what the late
Peter F. Daley would have called
We'll, well, WELL" play-weu conceiv-
ed, well written and well acted. The
play is written around the argument
that "being on the square" is the only
law we know and this is used to frus-
trate the plot OF Broadway type in
his effort to induce a girl who loves
him to marry a wholesome man of
wealth so that the latter will be the
provider for the trio. jean of the
Casino is madly IN love with McAvoy
Of Broadway. Bannister of Wall street
is the financial refuge of Jean, who
f1atters him unknown to McAvoy. Hore
tense, also Of the Casino with yearn-
ing for stage honors abroad and af-
fuence, encourages the intrigue in
which Jean is plunged and Spider
plays the confidence man who is I'M
beloved by the world, but who tries
for and accomplishes good at every
turn. Jean would marry McAvoy Ban
mister wants to marry her and take
her to Mexico. He gives her 81, 900 to
pay for a plano on which she is only
paying rental and with the check she
invests in stocks. in order to win
enough money to fly with McAvoy.

FINE BILL AT FAMILY.

The Family theater has a bill the
last half of this week of which the
new manage can well be proud. Ev-
cry act is not a headliner, but two OF
them are as good as any that have
been seen around here this year and
the rest are above the average. The
feature of the bill is the Venetian
Four. musical quartet of unusual
ability. Three of the four are adopts
with the violin and the fourth is a
harpist whose touch is well nigh mar
velous. All of the performers are
young men and they are from over
the seas. AS a general, rule the class
Of musice which they give Is not ap-
preciated in a vaudeville house, but
their act is an exception to the rule,
as was evidenced last night in repeat
ed encores. A violin solo, THE Poet
and Peasant" which is rendered by
one of the four, is as fine a piece of
music as has ever been heard on the
stage here. The comedy end of the
bill is we'll upheld by Ella Cameron
and company, who put on a scream of
a farce entitled THE Nutty Family. "
The act is bubbling over with fun
from beginning to end and the per-
formers have plenty Of life in them.
Jaff1e and Lavaigne open the enter
tainment with a singing and dancing
act and Miss Daisy Dean does a sim
liar stunts to the satisfaction of ev-
cry one. The moving pictures are in
accord with the rest of the bill and
well worth the seeing If one likes
real comedy. as they cause laughter
from one end of the film to the other,
The Venetian Four in itself is worth
more than the price of admission and
when the other acts are added the
bill is really the best of the year.
