TRAGIC DREAM FULFILLED

From the New York World.
 At the moment when Mrs. Cornelia Stahl became filled with a premonition law. was in mortal danger, Mrs. Leidke lay self slain in her home at 27 Bradford street, Brooklyn. There had been no lin gering illness, news of which might have filled Mrs. Stahls mind. The case, with out doubt, will interest psychologists deeply.
 'I could not sleep last night said Mrs. Stahl yesterday to a reporter. Tt seemed to me that my mother-n-aw stood by my bedside, trying to awaken me. She said she was in pain. She was moaning and weeping; I heard her distinctly.
 "Three times I made up my mind that must go to sleep. I am certain l slept only few moments each time. And at each wakening I saw Mrs. Leidke at my bedside. She begged me to get up and come and help her.
 T couldn't stand 1t any longer, so I got up, dressed and hurried to her home. When got there her door was lock ' |continued Mrs. Stahl. "I shook so I could |scarcely stand, for I was afraid that my dream. or whatever 1t was, was lbout Ito come true. Then I remembered that when I went to see mother Wednesday might she said her heart hurt her very much, and she would rather be dead than suffer so. I knew that was only her way of speaking when in pain, and I did not think of it second time"

 Tt is apparent that two. committees which have in view the same object. ap- pealing for support to the same body cannot fail to create oppositios; I do not wish to be a party to any such situation It seems to be an undeniable fact that the project of a scholarship, or practical, living memorial, originated in Manhattan chapter, and the women associated with this movement are naturally deeply dis appointed to find that their idea is taken from them, and to be thus pushed from their Seld of usefulness. but the name of Mrs Harrison is far too dear to them to be made a subject of controversy; if they could descend to methods that are not high they would not be worthy of their heritage.
 Our motives have been unselfish and our object has been exalted, and I will not permit any project such as that we have in mind to be in any way degraded or lowered by a contest, even though we have been forced Into most trying posi- ton I. therefore, if ms committee will permit me to do so, will turn over to Mrs. Scott's committee the accumulated funds we have in hand, provided that her memorial takes the form of practical good, such as a scholarship, and l will further the project to the best of my ability.

Mrs. Stahl went downstairs to Mrs Anna< Schiefflin. the landlady, and got that woman to go up to the Leidke rooms and
 open the door.
 Mrs. Leidke. fully dressed was on the
 bed. A towel covered her face. Mrs.
 Stahl rushed over, pluoied away the towel
 and tainted. For only Mrs Leidkes fore
 head was visible. Bound tightly around her eyes, nose and mouth were several layers of bandages, so thick she must have suffocated quickly.
 When Mrs. Stahl regained consciousness she hurried out and told a policeman what
 she had seen. He went to the rooms. cut off the bandages, and then called Dr. Ben mir from the Bradford Street hospital The doctor said Mrs. Leidke had been dead several hours.
 Detectives of the Miller avenue police station found nothing had been disturbed in the three rooms Mrs. Ledke had ac- cupied for three years The door was locked on the inside and the key was on the bureau The detectives decided that
 the pain in her heart had proved too much for Mrs Leidke to bear, and she had killed herself. The only wonder was that with her mouth and nostrils covered by band ages. she, smothering, had thought to
 cover her face with towel.

 In many parts of the eastern counties the ordinary sources of water supply have failed, and village folk are compelled to travel for long distances in order to pro cure water for drinking and cooking Washing is becoming a luxury, and many country laundries have been compelled 10 shut down. Streams and wells said to be polluted are now being used for drinking purposes for lack of anything better, with risks too obvious to need discussion. Throughout the country the shallow sources of supply are being rapidly ex- hausted, and only the deep wells con ltinue to serve the community.

HOW TO RE MO V E
 FRECKLES
Wilson's Freckle Cream Is Positively
 Guaranteed to Do the Work

Letters are constantly being re- ceived by the makers of Wilson's Freckle Cream from prominsnt ladies saving that they have at last discoy- cred how to remove freckles.
 Just because you happen to have freckles is no reason why you should always have them.
 Mrs. M. ]. Rivers wrote from Berne, Switzerland, saying: 'Tf after giving Wilson's Freckle Cream a fair trial 1t does not cure your skin, there is no remedy for you. I always took the best care of my skin, but freckled dreadfully and could not get no remedy until I found Wilson's Freclsle Cream" one jar of Wilson's Freckle Cream will cause your freckles to perceptibly fade, and the second jar will entirely remove them.
 The druggist Is instructed to return your money to you if 1t doesn't do just what we claim for it.
 Try a jar today. You'll be delighted with it's fine effect on your skin. If your druggist cannot supply you. send 50 cents to the Wilson Frecklc Cream O.. Charleston. <. C., and they will full size jar. Sold by Jacobs drug store, 1904 Second avenue. special agents.
