cigar maker, was fighting for life
here today as the result of an al
legged attack by a poison needle
worker at her home late last
night. She was summoned to

would meet the messenger at her
front gate. AS she received the
parcel she felt a sting on her bare
arm. She became faint and ran
into the house where she fell un-
conscious on the floor. Convul-
sions developed and heroic meas

Ninety Per entC Pure

In the New York Times of last
Sunday is the following opinion
of the currency bill.
1t is a wonderful achievement
to have brought a measure 30
practical, so promising in its rem
edies, 80 largely sound, from a
congress called radical, a congress
controlled by the party which
but a few years ago was given
over to financial heresies which
the country repudiated. If
the bill was 80 per cent good
when Mr.. Vanderlip put his as
say mark upon it, and 81 IL per
cent, good when Mr.. Schulz gave
his opinion, we should suppose it
must be rated at about 90 Der
cent. now. That is about as near
to attainable perfection as can
reasonably be expected of human
lawmakers. We are entirely con-
fident that the measure will be
acceptable, beneficial and safe.
Even if it is not more than 80
per cent, that is pretty close to
perfection. We have never be-
fore made so near an approach to
1T. We suppose that the finan-
cial orthodoxy of the Times will
not be questioned. 1t has always
stood for sound money, as indeed
have most Of the great papers of
the country. When, therefore.
It commeuds the bill as 80 Der
cent. pure" its verdict will have
great weight with the country. as
it deserves to have. Advertiser.

holes of golf today. for the first
time in many weeks. He made
some of the holes under bogery,

it entered the golf grounds and
engaged in a free-for all fight
for possession of his golf clubs.
The President laughed hearth

boys if they didn'5 behave and
take their turns orderly each day
they would not be permitted to
caddy for Mr.. Wilson at all. AT
ter that a truce was declared.

Employers Were not TO Blame

Calumet. Mich, Dec. 81. An
open verdict, including finding
that the Christmas eve panic in
Italian hall was caused by an a.
larm of fire raised within the hall.
was returned tonight by the cor
oners jury which for three days
has been hearing the evidences
of participants in the disaster.
Every allegation that enemies
of the Western Federation of
Miners were responsible for start
ing the panic was rejected by the
jury.
The taking of testimony con-
cluded shortly after midday and
it was we'll along in the afternoon
before consideration Of the testi-
mony was begun. The jurymen
wrestled with their problems for
six hours.
BY the evidences of the wit
nesses we find that the cause of
death was suffocation, the same
being caused by being damned
on the stairway leading to the en-
trance of the Italian hall where a
Christmas celebration was being
held under the auspices of the
Women's Auxiliary of the West
ern Federation of Miners" said
the verdict.
The stampede was caused by
some person or persons unknown
to the jury at this time raising
an alarm of fire within the hall. "
The jury decided that the evil
dence showed that only those
possessing union cards or vouched
for by some members of the un-
ion were allowed to enter the
place. Rejection Of charges that
deputy sheriffs, mine guards and
company doctors had held back
would-be rescuers were contained
in a paragraph commencing the
work of men who cleared the
stairway of it's mass of dead and
injured.
Some fifty-fye witnesses told
their versions of the castrophe at
the inquest. Of these half
dozen stated they saw button
Of some kind on a man who they
said raised the initial alarm, but
not all of these were willing to
swear that the button bore the
insignia of the Citizens Alliance.

New York Murder Mystery

New York, Dec, 20. A muir
der mystery which promises to
rival the famous barrel murder
OF dozen years ago, was brought
to the attention of the police to-
day, when a boy notified them
that for half an hour he had
watched a trunk which two men
had unloaded from push cart,
and left in the gutter in Pitts
street, on the East Side. When
the trunk was opened at police
station, the still warm body of a
man about 40 years of age, shah
billy dressed, and emaciated,
was found in it. The body was
identified tonight by Joseph NAL
lory, a former room mate, as that
of John Kramenz, a Russian
Pole, formerly employed in coal
mine, at Charleston, West Vir-
gina.
According to the coroner, death
has been caused by strangulation,
though in forcing the body into
the trunk, the neck of the man
had been broken. Kremenz is
believed 10 have been 40 years of
age, and according to the man
who identified him, had broth
er living at Cincinnati. After
coming here from West Virginia,
he had worked on the East Side.

Henry Clews, the New York
bonker, in his review of financial
conditions during the past year,
says:
The year 1913 closes with many
reasons for encouragement which
did not exist when it began. 1t
opened with igrave uncertainties
concerning tariff, currency, trusts
and railroads. problems which
for many years have been at the
bottom of much of the discomfort
in business and politics. 1t clos
ed with several of these problems
practically sertled and with adj
justmcnt of the new order of
things the chief necessity of for
tune.
The tariff bill has been passed
and is now beyond range of a
discussion which kept so large a
portion of the business communi-
ty under constant encouragement
and uncertainty
There has been no financial
legislation of such vital impor-
lance as the present banking and
currency bill since the success of
the sound money campaign.
The new bill is a big step for
ward in placing the United
States in the front ranks of inter-
national financial leadership. At
last we are to have an elastic
banking and currency system,
fitted to the growing require
ments of the country, and giving
the advantage of Capitalization
under public control with a view
to preventing its abuse by pri-
vate interests. The importance
I, of this step cannot be immediate

will be required to work out it's
results and to amend any minor
defects in the new plan. Suffice
it to say that it will give the
country a centralized banking

Some Helpful Thoughts About
Music

Music is indeed the great won
der of the world. From the be-
ginning of time when God placed
the planets in the blue space
above and they began their
march toward eternity, their per-
feet music and rythm resounds
not only in the place of man.
Philosophy has undertaken to an
alyze and explain everything
else, but is silent before the little
scale of seven musical sounds
with their 5040 varied ways of
arranging notes on the staff of
five lines and four spaces. God
intended it for good. Man did
not make music science or laws
of music. There is no art which
has the same powerful influence
for good and we should covet the
very best gift for worship of God.
There are some of us who do not
know very much about science of
music and there are few of US
who do not appreciate its worth.
10 the same extent at least some
of us could not carry a tune in a
paper sack. But we can tell
when the other fellow is drag
ging it. Music is the wine of the
soul. 1t is enjoyed in the hum
blest home and in the church as
well as by the cane-sucking dude
of every tribe and nation. The
individual who possesses the gift
of music, either vocal or instru-
mental, owes it to himself and his
fellow man and to his God to i'm
prove that talent He should be-
come a part of that great choir
on earth which is always and
everywhere singing the praise of
God. Music in the home is a
source of pastime and pleasure
and it will form an attachment
for the home that nothing else
will. If / could have my desire
i would have the best singing
class in the country; / would
have the best organ that could be
found in the land. There cannot
possibly be anything wrong in
any instrument of music of any
kind. No instrument of music
can truthfully said to be the dew
lis instrument, for the good rea-
son that the devil does not like
music, and he does inspire any
thing that is good or is capable
of producing good.
So let us cultivate the gifts
that we have and see if we can
not Tighten the load of those who
may be near US who may have
grown weary and tired Of the
battle Of life, so we may yet win
a victory for our Saviour.
Wishing you and your many
readers a long and happy life,
am
