ANOTHER TRAGEDY
ADDED ! To LIFE OF
NAME MCLAUGHLIN
The Man Who Stood BY Her
In Her Trial and After
wards Married Her Takes
His Own Life.

New Orleans, Aug. 24.-Poor
Mamie Mclaughlin, in whose family
tragedy has stalked often in grim and
grewsome form, again was victim
OF this spectral messenger of death
Monday afternoon, when her hus-
band, Rollo Hinckley, committed
suicide by inhal;ng gas in their
modest three-room house, 1913 Fry
tan;a street. This sudden taking
away of her husband of nine months
made q total of five violent deaths
in the. family of the girl who iirst
attained noteriety in New Orleans
four years ago by shooting to death
Hughey Smith, Royal street saloon
keeper.
The homicides recorded in her
family embraced the shooting or a
policeman by her father, the killing
Of a negro by q. brother, wife mur-
der by her brother George, the sui
eide by drowning OF another brother.
her own killing Of Smith, and finally
the suicide OF her husband. Her
brother, George Mclaughlin, now IS
under sentence of life Imprisonment
for the murder of his wife.
Rollo Hinckley was found dead at
4:3O Monday Afternoon, when his wife
returned from shopping expedition.
With his right arm across his nose
and mouth, as If he hf,d tried to
stay the hand of death when 1t was
too late, his body was found face
downward near the bathroom door
Of their little home. Two gas jets
in the front room of the house were
freely d:scharging the death-dealing
fufhes that his own hand had loosed,
and life that he had despaired OF
probably had been extinct several
hours.
Dependency, induced by the lack
Of lucrative employment, is assigned
by his wife and neighbors as the
probable cause of hic act. The
mother and other immediate relatives
Of young Hinckley, who never for
gave him for marrying Mamie Nc
Laughlin, believe that remorse over
what they term his fo0lhardy matri-
monial venture, led him to take his
fatal step.

Sketches History.
Mr.. Hale began his address by tell.
ing his audience that he did not intend
to tell them how to raise chickens but
to show the immense proportions to
which the business has grown and to
lay before them the wonderful pOssi-
bilities to be enjoyed by anyone going
into the work. He stated that OF
course 1t was generally conceded that
all the different breeds originated
from the jungle fowl. The first pOul-
try show was held on the Boston Com
mons in 1S49. Previous to this time
about the only kind of birds that were
raised by fanciers were breeds very
similar to the present langshan, only
very much more crude. They were
always shown in pairs or braces and
the best set was the one that could
eat off the top of the highest barrel
or table. Over 600 birds were entered
in this first show and then the ques-
tion arose of who was to judge them
and how it was to be done. Finally
Ia committee of four was appointed
and they disagreed, two voting on one
pair and two on another Another
committee of five was then appointed
and finally succeeded in handing in
the ribbons but not until great deal
of dissension and personal emnity had
been aroused.
The speaker said that about that
time P. r. Barnum was running q
dime museum in New York and he
held poultry show the next year, in
Q60 In noDnocfiOn with his nusoI1Yn.
However, so much dissatisfaction and
noise arc over the matter that that
broke up the poultry breeding business
for a good many years, but interest
in well bred poultry did not die out

GERMANS INVADE
PORTUGUESE LAND
ANNOUNCEMENT MADE AT LIS
BON THAT AFRICAN POSSES
SIoNS ARE ENDANGERED.

Lisbon (via Paris) Dec. 23.-The
Germans have again invaded Angola,
Portuguese, West Africa. This fact
was announced in the chamber of
deputies by the minister Of colonies
who said that the Germans had made
a fresh attack on the military post at
Naulila, in the province of Angola
The commander Of the post Colonel
Rocadas, the minister stated, had only
a small force at his disposal and re-
treated in order to obtain reinforce
ments with which to drive out the
Germans Further details of the af-
fair, the minister said, were lacking
The first invasion of Angola oc.
Cured late in October, according to
reports from laurence Marques, East
Africa, when small party Of German
cavalry arrived at Naulila and asked
for an interview with the commander
A fight occurred, according to reports
during which three Germans were
killed before the party retired. Ber
lin, however, has denied that such an
incident occurred.
Reports from Lisbon show that 5000
men were sent from it's West African
colony in September and October and
that in November the country was
preparing to send 1000 additional
troops there The Portuguese activ'
ity was caused by reports that Ger
many had armed great numbers Of the
natives and had placed them under
the training of German officers for an
invasion of Angola.

War Situation
BRIEFLY Relcted

Although further progress appar-
emily has been made by the allies
in their general offensive move
nent, the German armies, as
whole, are standing fast and SO far
as is known have lost no impor-
tant sections Of the long line on
which they settled down after the
retreat which followed the battle
Of the Marne early in the war.
Today's official communications
Indicate that each side has had its
victories and its defeats. The
French army chiefs state that they
captured the last section Of line
of German trenches near Perthes-
ies-Hurlus, where fighting has
been severe for several days, and
have made an average gain Of 800
yards. The German statement,
speaking Of this engagement, says
that the French attack was "partIy
repelIed." French claims to pro-
gress in Belgium are denied In
Berlin, where it is said that the
British. have suffered reverses at
the hands of the Germans.
The German war office reports
no developments in the east, say
irg merely that the fighting is con-
tnuing. The French statement,
however, asserts that the Russians
are pressing forward their invasion
Of Germany, across the East Prus-
sian frontier, but admits that the
Germans have made progress in
the fighting in Poland to the west
Of Warsaw.
