Scramble for Crippen,s Effects.

London. Sept, 20.-London's morbid
curiosity in the DR.. H. H. Crippen case
resulted in scramble to buy the doc
tors furniture and effects, which were
auctioned today at West End sales
room. Old catalogues and papers, OF
absolutely no intrinsic value, were sold
t3r as high as 81 Odds and ends Of
the most trtiing value were rarely sold
for less than 81. A number OF fashion
able women crowded the auction rooms
and outbid the curo dealers on many
articles. Trifies sold more readily than
the larger articles, the chief desire OF
the people apparently being merely to
possess something that belonged to the
man accused OF numbering his wife.

DEMOCRATIC HOUSE.

Representative James I. Lloyd, OF
Missouri, chairman Of the democratic
congressional committee, spent yester-
day at congressional headquarters in
Washington. having arrived there in
the morning from Chicago. He left
Washington last night for New York.
Asked what he thought OF the politi-
cal outlook, Chairman Lloyd said it
could not be better, as the democratic
landslide in Maine would not be re-
garded other than as forerunner Of
what the country should expect in No.
vember. He added
We are not giving any concern to
the differences existing between the
regulars and insurgents. We are de-
voting our time to the campaign, and
| want to say that never before in any
campaign has the democratic commit
tee done better and harder work than
it is now doing. In my judgment our
work will show results in November.

discovered that the peasants whom they
meet there are no fools, so far as bust
ness is concerned. No matter how
closely they are bound to the play
which has made their place known all
over the word. no matter how much
thew are imbued with the religious
spirit which they say is essential for Its
proper rendition. they have at least one
eve to the coin which comes to them
from the pilgrim and the tourists,
saws the Augsburger Neueste Nachrlch-
ten. The latest evidence Of this came
in the form OF boycott which the
firm OF George Lang put on the fifth
edition of Wilhelm Won Wymethal>s
'Maydays in Oberammergau. This
book contains, besides views OF the
place, the text OF the play, and, IT'S
sale having interfered with the sale OF
a book which contains the text only, 1t
was boybotted. The publishers have
sued. Commenting on the incident
the writer says: Business is business,
even in pious Oberammergau.

PROPER DIET.

Well cooked vegetables, rice anc

mince pie and Boston baked beans,
has made the graceful, self controlled
Turk the superior OF the nervous, lank
New Highlander.
This vas the contention laid down be-
fore the Mississippi Valley Medical As
ISOLATION at Detroit last week by DR..
Fenton B. Turck, OF Chicago.
"Diet has more to do with the max
ing OF great men or the deteriorating OF
the human race 10 the level OF the
brute than anything else, declared DR..
Turck.
Compare that armor-plate mince
pie diet INDUCED in by all America with
the two sane meals day that are en-
abling Turkey to produce the finest
specimens OF physical manhood in the
world. Mince pie and beans are bring
ing about race deterioration not alone
