ages. They seem to be able to believe
anything, provided only that its untruth
is sufficiently obvious to common sense
and to common experience, and to near
and demonstrsble explanations they pre-
fer those that are remote and supported
by no evidence. 1t is from such com
munities as that which sent crowds cred
ulous and awed to visit the Shipley girl
that there comes every month or two a
story OF witchcraft. following exactly the
old lines and reviving memories Of pins
stuck into waxen images, Of the chanted
Incarnation, of the overlooking that kills
or tortures-Of black cats and rides on
broomstchs
These things are not merely amusing;
on the contrary, they reveal on large
scale an almost appalling arrest of devel-
opment or a quite appalling progress Of
degradation. The case of these people is
not that OF the not very remote ancestors
OF ALL who believed precisely the same
things Anybody has a right to accept
theories current in his time that are sup
ported by the weight Of authority, when
known facts do not conflict with them;
1t is a different matter to ignore all the
knowledge Of ones own age.-New York

DOUBLE SUICIDE AT BLUFFS
Man and Woman Found Dead at the
Formers Home.
BOTH TAKE CARBoEC ACID
Bodies Are Found After Having Been
Dead for at Least Three Days,
According to the In
dicatiOns.

A toast of death in carbolic acid ended
the lives Of Christ Christensen and an I'M
identified woman at his cottage. 1910 Twen-
ty-second avenue. Council Bluffs.
The bodies Of the pair were found late
Friday afternoon by curious neighbors.
Christensen and the woman have been
dead for no less than three days. according
to the indications discovered In the in
vestlgation OF the case by Coroner Cutler.
The tragedy uncovered by the discovery
OF the bodies exposes a side Of the life Of
the dead man unknown TO his neighbors.
Christensen had been employed for many
years on the Illinois Central as a laborer.
He lived alone and was apparently always
sober and industrious. lie was never mar
ried so far as can be learned from those
who knew him.
Partially dressed, the bodies were found
in the bedroom, side by side The lips OF
both were burned by the acid which evil
IDENTIFY caused death. No marks Of violence
are discernible
A half pint bottle of carbolic acid. halt
emptied. stood by the bed Both died ap-
parently without a struggle.
No notes were left behind and there wal
nothing among the effects Of the dead mar
TO indicate the identity Of the woman.
Christensen was about IS years old; hi
companion about 45.
No relatives live In Council Bluffs. A
brother Is believed TO be living in Atlantic
Ia.
None OF those who knew Christensen
have been able to identify the woman.

BLUNDER STARTS TROUBLE
MisInterpreted cipher Message Re-
spOnsIbIe for Sending the
Maine "a Havana.

Probably very few know that the Maine
had been hurried to Havana because OF a
misinterpreted cipher message. John r.
Caldwell, who had been In charge of the
Havana bureau, and whom l relieved, told
me that several days prior TO my arrival
he had made requisition upon the office for
revolver. There had come strenuous
times in the Cuban capital riots had been
frequent, the lives OF foreigners, partlcu-
larly those Of Americans, mad been more
than once placed in jeopardy and the time
had come when correspondents felt the need
Of firearms to protect their lives. The
revolver sent to Mr.. Caldwell was struggled
to him by a passenger on the steamship
Olivette, to whom the weapon had been
entrusted by an agent OF the paper in
, Tampa. BY some oversight no cartridges
had been sent with it, and 1t being impossi-
bic to secure any In Havana, the CORE
spondent cabled to New York, Camera
received. but no plates; send by next boat.
Through some strange error on the part
Of the one who received It the cryptogram
was construed 20 be a cipher and was
translated TO read that an attempt had
been made on the life OF General Fitzhugh
Lee American consul general in Havana
This misinformatlon went 20 Washington
l anu iNoNNeu 'iAeie aAtet the havana NdDls
had closed. Early the next day Mr.. Cald-
well received from the Herald the following
/ oryptogram: Send story and pictures or
dered on food supplies; We want it for main
sheet" by applying the cipher key. the
first sentence was readily translated Il
read: "A United States warship has beer
ordered to Havana" The second evidently
conveyed some hint which was beyond the
limitation OF the code, but the word main
| gave the clew. Meeting General Lee Al
/ breakfast that morning, Mr. CaldH
quietly informed him that the Maine wa,
on its way to Havana. The general wal

TROUBLES OF MUSIC MAKERS
Players ON Various Instruments
MinEIe Pain with Their
Melodies,

When Ignaz Paderewski last toured
this country he was forced to abandon a
number Of concerts toward the close Of
his season because of muscular rheumatism
in both hands, brought on by excessive
piano playing. Pianist's cramp is more
painful than writer's cramp and is the
bane OF all virtuosos II is caused by the
constant contraction and expansion OF the
muscles controlling the fingers II becomes
chronic when not guarded against and
many a promising virtuoso's career has
been blighted in this way. The only
remedy is to rest the overtaxed muscles
and then work them up gradually TO meet
the strain OF constant playing.
All concert pianists are subject to split
finger tips The constant stroke of the
balls Of the fingers on the hard ivory
makes the flesh so delicate and tender that
frequently playing becomes acute agony.
Some pianists suffer more than others
from delicate finger tips. Lhevinne, the
gigantic Russian player, who can extract
as much tone from his instrument as any
other living player has finger tips that
are like cushions. But they are exqulsitely
