A VERDICT IS FILED.
On the Death Of Louis

DR.. Roy D. Morrow, deputy coroner.

death of Louis Green, who was also
known as Louis Strant. The verdict
states that death was due TO carbolic
acid poisoning, taken with suicidal in
tent.
Green committed suicide Monday af-
ternoon at $50 North Fifteenth street.
where his wife was living. He ended
his life, IL is said. because OF fear OF
being arrested. Patrolman Lawler hav-
ing gone to the house for the purpose
of placing him under arrest
Sophronia Wamas, living near the
home OF Mrs. Green. who was not liv-
ing with her husband. testified that
she noticed the patrolman walking up
the alley with Green after the latter
had taken the acid. and when she
asked Green II he was in trouble he
answered They'll never take me
alive"
At the time the arrest was made
Patrolman Lawler was not aware that
Green had taken the poison. He took
Green 10 the corner of Fourteenth
and North F street. where he tele.
phoned for the patrol. Green sank 10
the ground shortly afterward and died

Parallel Stories.

When Napoleon was student at Bril-
enne he happened to be asked by one
of the examiners the following ques-
ton: "Supposing you were in an Invest
ed town, threatened with starvation,
how would you supply yourself with
provisions?" From the enemy" re-
piled the sublieutenant of artillery.
And this answer so pleased the exam
liners that they passed him without fur
ther questioning. Now, Napoleon's an
swer was by no means original, for
one of Suvaroffs sergeants obtained
promotion from the ranks by giving
the very same answer when asked the
very same question. Whether it was
that Napoleon had read his story some
where and luckily remembered the ser
geant's answer at the right moment or
whether. as one writer says anent the
speech of the beef eater, "All that can
be said is that two people happened to
hit upon the same thought" We are
unable to say, but the similarity of the
anecdote is, to say the least of it, a
strange OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES Standard.

Her Grace.

An Englishwoman of rank, duchess.
was very apt to forget to pay her bills.
A milliner, whose large bill had been
repeatedly ignored by the duchess, at
last determined to send her little girl,
a pretty child of ten years, for the
money which was so much needed.
BE sure to say your grace to the
Duchess said the anxious mother, and
the child gravely promised to remem'
Der.
When. after long waiting, she was
ushered into the presence of her grace
the little girl dropped her bow OF
courtesy, and then, folding her hands
and closing her eyes, she said softly:
For what am about to receive may
the Lord make me truly thankful"
As she opened her eyes and turned
her wistful gaze on the duchess that
person turned very red and without de-
lay made out a check for the amour,
due her milliner.

MISS KAROLYN KARL
is COMPLIMENTED

Miss Karolyn Karl, of this city, was
one of the principals in a recital given
on Tuesday evening in DAYTON by the
pupils of Mr.. J. Louis Shenk, the Day
ton News speaking in the following
complimentary manner of Miss Karl:
The animation and the spirited in
depreciation of Miss Karolyn Karl's
singing of Loewe's "Niemand Hat's
Gesehn," called for loud applause at
the end of each verse. Miss Karl has
contralto voice which she makes do
her bidding in any kind of emotional
expression. Decidedly here is a young
lady of exceptional talent who will be
heard from in the future if she contin-
ues to persevere in the good work
only just begun"

Strawberries In Shakespeare's Day.


Strawberries have improved very
much in favor since the fifteenth cen
fury Until then the only straw berries
eaten were wild strawberries, of a
kind which would never find a market
nowadays. By 14S0, however, they
were beginning to be cultivated, for
Holinshed records under that date a
particularly fine crop grown by the
bishop of Ely in the grounds Of his
palace, now covered by Hatton Gar
den. He quotes the Duke of Gloucester
as saying to the bishop: MY lord, you
have very good Strawberries in your
garden in Holborn. I require you to
let us have a mess of them" This
speech was copied almost verbatim by
Shakespeare in Richard Ill" Still,
even the bishops fruit would not APP
peal much to the modern connois-
seurs, for the garden strawberries at
that period were only transplanted
wildings, the plants being sold at
about fourpence a bushel. - London

NEW DINING CARS
ON PENNSYLVANIA

The efficiency of the dining car ser
vice on the Pennsylvania Lines has
been increased by the adoption of a
decided innovation in dining cars. BY
emitting platforms and vestibules,
space has been provided for two ad-
ditional tables, seating six people
ma king the capacity thirty-six people
What the new arrangement means is
indicated by the fact that one of the
first demonstrations of the car to de-
termine it's capacity for business
showed that los people were served in
three hours with no rush or crowding
The new Pennsylvania dining car is
SO feet long over all; it is of allsteel
construction, weighing 147,500 pounds.
The kitchen is 10 feet inches long;
and the pantry feet long There are
no platforms, every inch Of space be-
ing utilized; side doors are provided
at each end for stocking both the
kitchen and the stewards department
a sliding door shuts off the kitchen
and pantry from the main dining room
while fans at each end OF the kitchen
free the car of odors and smoke. The
dining car is finished in French gray
1t is lighted by side brackets and ia
bic candle lamps fed from SO cells of
storage battery located under the car
Probably the most important new
feature of the dining car from a ser
vice standpoint is the arrangement of
the kitchen and pantry. The latter.
