THE WAGES OF. ~PARSIMONY
Old Woman Who Died Ragged and
Hungry Had $3.50 Tied Around
Neck and Money in Banks.

From Cleveland comes the latest
story of sordid recluse. This one
is of woman who chose to live in
a squalid, windowless room and
clothe herself in rags; eventually dy-
ing from starvation. She was Mrs.
Susannah Drum, 7 6 years old, who
had been married three times.
Among her adventures was a trip
around the world with one of her
husbands and a connection with a
travelling circus. In the latter ca
pacity she was with a trained coon.
On her dying bed in an infirmary
She confessed the possession of con-
siderable property. The authorities
found $150sin a bag tied around her
neck and two bank books with mon
ey credited to her account In ad-
dition to this she had quite a little
property, but she chose to starve
herself in order to horde every cent.

OVERsUPPLY OF DOCTORS.

One Profession Which in the United
States at Least Is Overcrowded.
The medical profession is over
crowded-yes," admits the physi-
clan whose income is $4,000 a year,
as does the surgeon who has his
$4,000 to 100000 professional
compensations yearly. But he yawns
as he admits it,
The medical profession is over
crowded asserts the well to do
general practitioner who has all the
business of the comfortable classes
which he feels he cares to under
take.
The medical profession is over
crowded." means the vast majority
OF young physicians and surgeons,
with neWly-framed diplomas on Of
flee walls and the licenses of their
several states issued them. allowing
them to practice medicine-if they
can.
In the ten years between 1900 and
1910 the average of 40 "accepta-
ble' medical schools of the United
states registered an average of "a
500 matriculants, of which an aver
age of 1850 students were gradu-
ated, annually.
Almost 5000 new doctors turned
out every year since the census of
1900, when in that census year the
average number of families to each
practicing physician was only 1925,
which at the census figures of 4 Z
persons to a family gave to the av-
erage practitioner just $751; per-
sons as potential patients.

WHAT THE KIDNEYS DO.
Their Unceasing Work Keeps Us
Strong and Healthy,

All the blood in the body passes
through the kidneys once every three
minutes. The kidneys filter the
blood They work night and day
When healthy they remove about
500 grains of impure matter daily
When unhealthy some part of this
! impure matter is left in the blood
This brings on many diseases and
symptoms-pain in the back, head
ache, nervousness, hot, dry skin,
rheumatism, govt, gravel, disorders
of the feyesight and hearing dizzi-
ness, irregular heart, debility, drop
sy, drowsiness, deposits in the urine,
etc. But if you keep the filters right
you will have no trouble with kid
neys.

ALL WILL BE HAPPY YET.
Furs, Eggs, Diamonds, Butter and
Pearls Will Be Cheaper.

A report from Winnipeg, Mani
toba, says the price Of furs will
shortly decline in marked degree.
Several hundred thousand skins we're
carried over from last reason in cold
storage, and the trappeIs this win
ter have made great kills. Now the
demand has fallen off, and the prices
have slumped and will go lower.
In the dispatches a few days ago
was a report from Chicago to the
effect that butter and eggs were to
be cheaper, because the cold storage
people had found It inconvenient to
carry the burden of their great
stocks much longer. Last week dis
patches from Amsterdam and Lon
don said that diamonds and pearls
were to be cheaper. Now with, furs,
eggs, butter, diamonds and pearls
cheaper we may all be happy yet,
you bet!

Springfield Army Gun That VIII Fire
400 Shots Minute.
A new gun, whose use in the Unit

the revolutionizing of even the most
modern methods of war on land, and
which for Hghtness, power and gen
eral effectiveness is said to be the
most terribly destructive weapon ev-
er invented, is now being secretly
manufactured in the armory at
Springfield Mass, for Uncle Sam S
use.
This gun, Weighing less than 20
pounds, and manipulated after the
fashion of an ordinary fowling piece.
pours out stream of bullets when
in action at the rate of 400 shots
per minute.
The new firearm is called the
Benet-Mercier, and is of French in
Vention. 1t has stock that is plac-
ed against the shoulder. In action
the gun lies on the ground, resting
the gun on two supports. This gives
an advantage in safety over the HI

the operator of that gun is compelled
J to stand in feeding it. This brings

employed on them, and it is expect.

LLOXD GREEN FOUND GUILTY.
Negro Sentenced to Pay Fine of
$500 or to Serve 90 Days.

Llyod Green. the negro who was
arrested several days ago for selling
liquor and storing whiskey for an
unlawful purpose was found guilty
MONDAY afternoon, by jury, after a
trial which took up most of the af-
ternoOn. Green had on two different
occasions sold whiskey to a negro,
Abram Brandford, who had been
sent by Policeman McKagen to the
house for that purpose. Later when
raid was made on his house he was
found to have a number of gallons of
Whlskey in his possession and a
charge was also made out against
him for storing the whiskey. Mr..
Geo. ID. Levy represented the defense
and j. II Clifton, ESQ, the city.
Policemen McKagen and Ward
were the two chief witnesses. and
Bradford testified to the fact of buy
ing the whiskey from Green The
defense made out was that Green
was consumptve and had the
whiskey for his own personal use
he admitted using from two 20 three
gallons a week for his disease.
Llyod Green is the same negro
VINO was on trial when Judge Menu
minger made his memorable charge
to the jury that having whskey in
ones possession was against the law
and was evidence Of guilt. In this
case, however, when Judge Mem
minger made the charge to this ef-
feet the case was taken to the su-
overruled in that Jud.e Memminger
had erred in his charge to the jury.

PROBABLY NOT SUICIDE.
Believed That Hendersonvillc Girl
Was Murdered--SuspiciOn Centres
On Man Now Closely Followed.

Asheville. n. c.. Sept. 1.-The
theory Of suicide is now disregarded
in the finding Of the body of Myrtle
Hawkins In Ocala lake near Hen
Jacksonville. Sunday. The general be-
lief now Is that the girl was brutally
murdered. and suspicion is centering
upon a man whose trail is being hot
ly followed. She left her home
Thursday morning and disappeared
absolutely. Indications point to the
fact that she was murdered but not
robbed or assaulted. The condition
Of he body shows that life was ex-
tinct when placed in the water and
that IL could not have been there
many hours. 1t is said that opposi-
ton existed to Myrtle's approaching
marriage to young business man Of
Johnson City. Tenn. Believing she
may have eloped with him. her pa
rents. 1t Is said, disliking publicity,
instituted a search on this theory
without asking the aid Of officers.
The town Of Hendersonville is stir
red as never before on account of
Miss Hawkins death, and should any
arrest occur soon necessary precau-
tions are being made to prevent a
possible lynching.
While the body was in a horrible
state OF decomposition there were ap-
parently no bruises, but there were
evidences Of chloroform having been
used TO brng about her death.
