her own skirt closely around the little
girl, smothering the fire So Gladys did
not receive the slightest burns.
Mrs. Neal received q badly burned

that he is dissatisfied. with the

doned for some time to come. The
city voted more bonds than it can pay
and as consequence taxes are very
high. I was told last year that taxes
would be reduced one third this year,
but. instead of falling they rose to al
most double to that Of last year. This
is fine cl, mate with good soil and
water, and land continues to rise in
value. But of what profit is 1t to me

acre OF my land every year to the city

concluded to sell everything and re-
turn to Minnesota. Owing to hard
times here now, it is hard to sell land,

PHILADELPHIA, PA, Specialize
perils OF the alcoholic cup sink almost
into insignificance when compared to
the perils of the public water drinking
cup, as set forth in a bulletin Just is
sued for the enlightenment Of the
public by the Department of Health
and Charities. DR.. Joseph S. Neff, the
director of the department, paints the
dangers of the drinking cup thereby:
The danger of the common. drink
ing cup has been recognized officially
by the passage of laws in several
States prohibiting it's use. This is not
the result of fad of health officers,
as psychologists have shown that the
common drinking cup always contains
large number and variety Of germs,
and have proved the transmission of
consumption, specific diseases, pneu-
monia and other diseases through its
use.
when it is considered that statis-
tics show that one person out of sixty
using the public cup has consumption;
that one out Of thirty has specific dis
ease and many others have communi-
cable diseases, such as typhoid fever,
diphtheria, etc, it is time the public
should realize the danger of its use.
The quiet campaign of education
in this city has already borne fruit,
in that the common drinking cup is
slowly being eradicated in our pub
lie schools, in railroad stations and in
a number of theaters and other pub
lie places. Theaters are attended, as
a rule, by the higher class of citizens,

HOT FIGHT FOR

INTEREST IN STRUGGLE ACCEN-
TUATED BY PRESENCE OF
ASPIRANTS FOR POSITION.

R c H NJ o n d. VA.-Special-
Possibly the hottest fight to come
before the General AsSe mbly the COM
ing winter will be that for the posi-
ton of Auditor OF Public Accounts.
Interest in the struggle was accen-
tuated today by the presence here Of
three of the avowed aspirants for the
place.. Lee Moore, Paul Garrett. OF
Loudoun, and Harry i. Darnan, or
Roanoke.
All these gentlemen are in the race.
and they have their friends at work
in their behalf, and each is apparently
satisfied with the lay OF the land ar
this time.
There has been frequent reference
10 the candidacy of Captain ]. NJ
harris, of Blackstone. but he has not
made any announcement of what he
intends to do in the matter. and when
asked by a Journal man regarding his
course. he declined to discuss the
subject.
The position is one of great respon-
sibility and demands that the gentle
man chosen shall have considerable
business experience and ability. The
place pays some $4,000 a year, and
the term is four years.

USED OPIUM TO
KILL FAMILY

NEW ORLEANS, LA. Special -
charged with the murder of her
mother, her father and her two sisters
MISS Annie Crawford, twenty-five
years old, beautiful and socially prom
lnent, was arrested today. The latest
vlcum was Elsie Crawford, aged TWEEN
ty-three, sister of Annie, who died
on Saturday. A post-mortem exam
NATION revealed a large quantity OF
opium in the girls stomach.
When the accused girl was taken
into custody today she faced her ac-
cusers calmly. merely remarking with
a smile: Very we'll" The police de-
clare that Annie Crawford killed her
parents and her sisters to get life in
surance which had been made out in
her ravor. They said that several DAYS
before the youngest sister, who was
then the sole remaining member OF
the family save Annie, died under
mysterious circumstances she called
at headquarters and told the insur-
ance company that Annie had poi
soned the entire family 20 get the life
insurance. She asked if there was
not some way by which the beneficiary
might be changed in order to save her
life.
At the time the police paid little
attention to the girls story, attribu-
ting 1t to a hallucination. AS her
death followed so closely upon the
visit, however, the authorities at once
became active. The girls BODY was
exhumed and the surgeons found
enough opium in her stomach to kill
half dozen men. This at once sup
ported the strange story which the
dead girl confided to the police, and
1t was decided to exhume the remains
of the other members of the family
for post-mortem examinations. This
1t was said, will be done at once.

The twenty-five-page pamphlet con-

OF each communication, and the pc

The Commonwealth of Virginia,

as recommended by the court, can
under the circumstances, derive no
hope or expectation that West Vir-
ginia will make any agreement with

convinced that the time has come for
this court, in it's own way, to deter

ITO this end she therefore respect

NIT the cause to the special master
