WHEN CHILDREN ARE IL
Famous Specialist Gives Good Advise on What Parents Should Do
 in Emergency.

In an article on the care of chil- dren in the Woman's Home Com- panion, Dr. R. H. Dennett, a great New York specialist on the diseases of children, tells as follows what 10 do when a child has a convulsion:
 'When a child is suddenly seized with a convulsion, proceed as fol- lows: First-Loosen the clothing, but take off only the shoes and stock ings. Second-Place the child upon a bed or table, with his legs hanging over the edge from the knees down. Third-Put his feet and lower legs in a pail of hot water, to which has been added one tablespoonful of powdered mustard. If you have no mustard, use hot water alone; be very careful it is not hot enough to burn. Fourth-Put an ice-cap to the head; lacking an ice-cap, use plenty of cracked ice done ul> in a towel. Fifth-Give an enema of warm soapsuds. Repeat it if it is not retained. Sixth-As soon as the child is able to swallow, give a large dose of castor oil"

 He suspected my object, for as ad vanced toward him he turned and fled down the street.
 "That was the very mani" cried the dealer.
 q thought so," I replied, and hast fly leaving the shop, hurried to the chief of police. Like a swift flash the wires of the telegraph had carried a minute description of the assassin to all points in the city, and the out. lets of escape were effectually guard ed.
 But like a fox under cover, he kept us at bay, and it was two weeks and over ere. in the densely populated city, I found him.
 One evening lady and two gen. tlemen stopped at the hotel where boarded, and engaged rooms. One of the gentlemen was very i'll. and muf- fled completely in shawls and comfort CTS.
 I often sent up fruit and little deli cacies to tempt his appetite, and once went to his door; but he declined to see me, stating that he was really too i'll and dispirited to see any one.
 The next thing I heard was his death, and his wife, young and ele- gant-looking lady. wrote me a note, asking me to send an undertaken to them.
 I watched the hearse drive up to the door the next morning to convey the corpse to the train, for It had been his request to have his body buried in his native state Yielding to an uncomfortable impulse, I fol- lowed the body, and seated myself near the coffin after it had been de- posited in the baggage car.
 His wife wept profusely, and would not leave the corpse, so the officials made her as comfortable as possible where she was.
 The lady seemed very nervous, and after while asked me if it would not be pleasanter for me to sit with the other passengers. But I preferred to remain where I was. My eyes could not and would not leave that dismal coffin, and looked at 1t so long and attentively that it seemed as If every nail and curve would be branded on my memory forever.
 At last I walked up to 1t, and was about to turn back the reversible lid that covered the glass over the face. when she sprang at me with a wild cry.
 What before had been in my mind only vague something shaped itself suddenly into a strong suspicion. and throwing back the lid, pushed her off and looked in. There, with his mouth and nose

 He was not yet recovered from the effects of the drug he had taken. and 1 secured him easily.

THE SUBMARINE TUNA
 RUNS HARD AGROUND.
Was on Her Way from Newport News
 to Bridgeport.

Atlantic City, N. J., May 16.-The submarine Tuna, which grounded about four miles off the Great Egg Harbor life saving station this morning, is still hard aground and appears to be drifting closer in shore.
 Captain Dannehauer, Chief Electri- elan Parks, Engineers Eclllin and Will son and Hand, a sailor, are still on board the craft.
 The heavy seas are pounding almost directly at the stern and are driving the vessel from the position where she struck
 Those of the crew who were brought ashore are E. D. Baker, J. Payne, H. Johnson, c. J. Haffner, J. R. Miller, w. Hand, William Stewart, J. J. Mc- Connell, B. Lantas, J. Davenport, s. Gardner, William KrOburgh, E. H. Roberts, all of Newport News, and J. L. Horton of Bridgeport, Conn, the last named acting as pilot
 According to their story, the Tuna stranded at o'clock this morning, but no alarm was felt, because the captain and pilot believed they could float the vessel at high tide. The storm came up in the meantime and drove the sub- marine hard on a sandbar.
 The Tuna was on her way from Newport News to Bridgeport, where she was to have been turned over to the government.

Boston, May 16.-Clarence V. T. Richeson's last hope of escaping the death chair next week for the murder of Avis Iinnell of Hyannis, expired tonight when Governor Floss announced that he would not refer Richeson's petition for communication of sentence to the executive council.
 Experts Find Rioheson Sane.
 The statement from the governor followed closely the filing of the re- ports of the special insanity commits sion which declared the condemned man sane although subject to fits of hysterical insanity. The commission found that Richeson was sane at the time of the murder and that he is sane at the present time.
 Insanity in Richeson Family.
 In the death chamber at Charles town the prisoner has borne himself calmly since he was transferred from the Charles Street jail Tuesday. It was apparent that he still had hopes that clemency would be extended him, and it was believed today that this alone was keeping up his spirits.
 The statement issued by Governor Foss shows that the alienists found that Richeson's family was afflicted very generally with insanity and that the condemned man is himself a neurotic, a somnambulist and a neurasthenic and subject to hysterical insanity.
 The statement follows:
 Gov Foss' Statement.

 "The evidence shows that Riche- sons family is heavily afflicted with | insanity, that he himself is neurotic, g | somnambulist and a neurasthenic; | that he is subject to extreme emotional | disturbances marked by loss of mem | ory, which two alienists have diag- nosed as hysterical insanity, one phys elan adding the alternative term oi l hysterical delirium, and the majority opinion indicating that these attacks were hysterical attacks marked by emotional disturbances of brief dura. ton, with loss of memory during tht attack and for a varying period fol. lowing it.
