 Perhaps your answer is ives" to all these impertinent questions, and yet fl you did do these things, maybe your heart wasn't in it, but just your vanity that was involved and you wanted to be praised by the newspapers and your friends, and in that case you've had youi reward.
 Public charities sometimes appeal very little to me- when I see women giving the very best side of their life to such things and then go back to their families who need them most and are impatient and peevish and nervous and show their worst

POISON PLOT MAY
Be RESPONSIBLE
FOR FIFTY DEATHS
MOrtem Examination De-
velops Cause for Startling
Charges.

BERLIN, Dec. 28.-Over fifty deaths
from poisoning have occurred since
the night of December 20 at the Mu-
nicipal Shelter for the Homeless in
Froebel street. Another fifteen of the
destitute male inmates died during last
night and this forenoon, while sixty
or seventy others are seriously i'll at
various hospitals In the city. New
cases are being rushed TO the hos
pitfalls at such a rate that statistics
cannot keep up with them.
Doubts are being expressed as to
whether the deaths were due, as at
first believed. to the eating Of decayed
smoked herring. 1t is said by the
asylum superintendent that the deaths
were due to deliberate poisoning. The
symptoms of some of the patients cor
respond to those OF cholera, but sew
era post-mortem examinations have
disproved absolutely the existence of
cholera.
Many of the victims succumbed in
thirty or t~hirty-five minutes after they
attacked. The ambulances start
ing from the shelter to go to hospitals
had in many cases to change their
destination and go to the morgue in
stead, as the patients had died on the
way. others expired in the shelter be-
fore they could be given medical at
tendance. The superintendent of the
asylum expresses the opinion, based on
one of tho post-mortem examinations.
that the deaths have not been due to
fish but to deliberate poisoning.
In spite of rumors among the desti-
tI1te ella sses which petronize these in
stitutions that there has been a DELHI
crate plot against the inmates, the
various shelters scattered about the
city were last night ven more crowd
ed than before. Over 1850 men took
refuge in the main institution, and a
crowd of physicians were present the
whole night receiving reports of addi-
tional cases.

for; Won't Try
to Stop Orgies

CHICAGO, Dec. 2~s.-Prayers for the
honor of the city and the soul OF
Mayor Harrison were offered in hun
dreds of churches at the midweek
prayer meetings yesterday.
This Is the result Of the Mayors
avowed determination not to inter-
fere with the New Years orgies, which
have come to be considered by many
an alarming menace to the city.
Last year Mayor Busse and his po-
lice made an earnest effort to regulate
the d%ebauchery and sternly restrained
hoodlumism on the streets and also
afforded much protection to helplessly
drunken women and girls turned out
of hotels and cafes with their escorts
too drunk to care for themselves.
