bic Of foot and youthful in their ac-
tons, but they are pleasing to look
upon. The scenic environments of
both acts are entirely adequate aad
the costuming of the company is wor-
thy of special mention. The gowns
of Mrs Newlywed and the eight

friends of the former Rock Islander:
Nicotine Zedeler. the young Swed-

mark, playing with great success in
Slagelse, Marble, Makskow and Ny
koping. Excellent press notices and
reengagements for next season in all
these places prove the degree of pop

Slagelse she was also heard at a
private musicale by a number of in

who promised her engagements in
the neighborhood about Slagelse on
her return there. Next season Miss
Zederel viii also appear in Copen-

London, April Sin the house Of
commons the Opposition amendment
to the veto resolution which was in
troduced by Sir Robert Finlay was re
jected by a vote of 357 to 251.
The Finlay amendment declared that
strong and efficient second chamber

is willing to consider proposals for the
reform of the present second chamber
but declines to proceed with proposals
that would destroy the usefulness OF
any second chamber and thus remove
the only safeguard against any great

ment of the day without the consent

GKULL OF WOMAN
100000 YEARS OLD
Prof. Keith Announces Conclu.
sions on Prehistoric Find
at Cibralter
SAYS THAT SHE COULD TALK
Had Palate one-third Larger Than
Female Of To-day, and Lived on
Nuts and Roots-Had Large Nose
and Prominent Eyes.

London.-Prof. Arthur Keith, cura-
lege of Surgeons. who has been en-
gagged in the examination of the IA
nous prehistoric skull unearthed at
Gibraltar some years ago, announced
that the skull is that of a woman who
must have lived at least 100000 years
ago.
The Gibralter skull has been the OBJ
ject of the examination OF many scien-
lists and of many theories. Keith ap-
preached the task of lifting the veil
from it's past with a new system of
intricate measurements and all the re.
sources Of science at his back, and has
compared the skull with all other
available prehistoric relics.
81 have little doubt but that the
skull is that of a woman" he said, dis
carding technicalities. From the size
of her brain she must have been
shrewd, probably a woman, too, of con-
siderable spirit. One can reckon pretty
accurately also the time at which she
lived. 1t must have been at least
100000 years ago.
From the jaws and the fact that
the muscles of mastication are re-
markably strong it is possible to de-
duce what this prehistoric woman ate.
Nuts and roots probably entered very
largely into her diet.
Men 100000 years ago were with
OF doubt long armed and their legs
short, and they had abnormally thick
necks. 1t is clear, too, | think, that
their brains were far larger than has
been conceded. 1t seems reasonably
certain that they were able to speak
to each other. From my examination
of the brain cavity of the Gibraltar
skull l have been able to deduce quite
clearly that the cells controlling
speech were there.
The prehistoric woman's skull in
dicates that she had a large nose. Her
eyes, too, were much more prominent,
and her palate one-third larger than
that of the woman of to-day"

BLAMES CHRISTIAN SCIENCE.
Woman Shoots Herself Twice After
Eddyites Fail to Cure Her.

New York, April 5.-"Christian Sci

that 1 didn't make a good job of it"
said Mrs. Emma Beatrice Gray Sutton
after she had tried to kill herself in
the apartments of her brother, Rupert
A. Ryley, in the Hotel Schuyler.
Mrs. Sutton had been i'll for some
time, and several Christian Scientist
practitioners attended her, but with

sisters room and complained bitterly
that Christian Science practitioners
had not done her any good.
Mrs. Ryley was trying to soothe her
when Mrs. Sutton drew revolver
from her waist and fired two shots.
The first shot was DETECTED by rib
but the second entered the left breast
just over the heart, inficting a wound
which is likely to prove fatal.

The cause of the suicide is not def

Mr.. Gulick's most intimate friends tc
business troubles. 1t is known that
for some time he had been short OF
funds and had a considerable amount
of outstanding paper. 1t is also known
that there had been number of in.

financial standing. These facts are
said to have weighed heavily upon
him.

world Mot So Very Bad.

That bad news travels fast is an
old saying and In the present time Of
electric communication by land and
sen, we get plenty of bad news every
morning The fact that we hear of
so many crimes and misdoings in
every part of the world, far more than
were reported a quarter century ago,
probably accounts for a share of the
downheartedre2s in respect to human
nature. which oppresses so many OF
us at times. But the fact remains that
the misdoings often get notice in the
newspapers because they have some
picturesque or interesting quality
which obtrudes above the level of nor
NAL human life; If regular and de-
cent living should ever become news"
we all should indeed be in a very bad
way. Hence, It looks as though we
ought to realize that the world is no
worse than 1t used to be, but that we
know more about it, and If we are
forewarned we should be the better
equipped for defending ourselves and
helping our neighbor.
