singer, died of appendicitis at the
Hahnemann hospital after an illness of
few days duration. Her parents
were at her bedside when she died
The body was taken by them to her
late home in Dunkirk, n. Y, for burial
there. Miss Rafter studied abroad for
several years. and was a gifted must
clan as well as a clever singer. as she
had mastered the violin, organ and
piano. She had been prominent in
light opera and musical comedy for
several years. and was the leading wo-
man in Eddie Foy's company when the
members had a narrow escape from
death in the fire that killed hundreds
of people when the Iroquois theatre in
Chicago was destroyed. She had also
appeared in leading roles with the com
panies of Richard earle and Yorke and
Adams. Several members of her fam

disease, would not buy slaves who had
this glandular enlargement. The pa
tent feels we'll and strong and is able
to go about his usual occupations.
The second stage is indicated by
distinct change in the appearance of
the patient. His expression grows
heavy and dull; he becomes apathetic,
lies around a great deal and cannot
exert himself. With the progress of
the disease these symptoms become
more marked: walking and speech be-
come difficult and finally impossible.
During the last week the sufferer lies
in a state of complete coma, from
which the illness derives its name.
Often during the second stage of the
disease the brain becomes affected,
and some of the patients try to run
away into the forests or swamps,
where they die of exposure or starva-
ton. To prevent this the relatives of

until the time comes shen he can no

Session of Second Flag.

Manager Jack Tighe of the Seattle,
Wash, club has written to the Off
GERS Of the local baseball association
and recommended William Carney as
candidate for the managerial posi-
ton which Tighe held here so success
fully for three and a half years. Con
sidera BILE confidence is felt in Tighe
and his endorsement will be of no
small value to Carney, whose applica-
ton has been received According to
Tighe, Carney showed that he has the
goods as a manager in the Western
Canada league last year. He had
charge of the Calgary team. The sea-
son was divided into two parts be-
cause of the failure of one OF the towns
during the first half to hold its fran
chise. Calgary won the pennant dur
ing the first half after taking the lead
in the first month of play. 1t remained
in the lead throughout the entire sec
ond half with the exception of two
weeks at the finish, when Edmonton
nosed out Carney's team and apparent
ly won the pennant by two points.
This fact is disputed, however, and
Calgary claims that Manager Carneys
team is entitled TO the highest honors

Carney is a right fielder. His rec
ord does not credit him with being a

that the new manager should he able
TO fill enc of these three vacant posi-
tons as well as add good batter to

to Tighe for more information about
Carney and there is a strong posi-
bility that he will be the man if his
terms are satisfactory.
