sTEvENsoN's WIDOW DEAD.
HAD Withdrawn Herself from World
After Husbands Death.

Santa Barbara, Cal, Feb. 19.-
Mrs. Robert Louis Stevenson, widow
of the famous novelist, died of apo
pleXy at her home in Montecito yes
terday. She was stricken late yes
terday, and didn't regain conscious
ness.
Divorced First Husband.
Mrs. Stevenson was born Fanny
Van De Grift, in the United States.
Her first husband was Samuel A.
Osborne, from whom she obtained a
divorce in 1879. Very little is known
Of the early years Of her life.
1t was in 1876 that she met Ste
venSon, while she was in France. Her
domestic life was not happy even at
that date, and she and Stevenson
seem to have been drawn together
from the start.
In 1878 she returned to her home
in California, and in August Of the
following year, alarmed at the news
of her health, Stevenson hurriedly
crossed the Atlantic, traNtl ling as a
storage passenger, partly recause of
lack Of means, partly for the expert
ence.
At San Francisco he succumbed to
illness, from the effects of which he
never fully recovered. The woman
who was to be his wife nursed him
through the worst of it, and in May
they were married, and went to live
in a deserted mining town in the
coast range Of the Sierras. Subse-
Quently they went to Samoa.
After her husbands death, in Sa-
m0a. in 1891, Mrs. Stevenson with
drew herself from the world to a con-
siderahl" extent. She had lived in
California for several years.

BURNS TO FERRET MYSTERY.
ITS Mysterious Features Appeal to

Constitution, 18Th

William J. Burns, the famous do
| tcctive, who leCtured at the BaDif ),
Tabernacle last night, will return @

| ter actively into an Investigation of
the Leo NJ. Frank case, in the hope
that he can clear up many points
which to him seem cloudy.
AS yet he has not accepted employ

until he has done so.
Shortly after his arrival in Atlanta

sible-the maximum number OF pas
sengers in the minimum number of
cars. don't believe street railways
will be run for the public benefit until
the element of private profit is elimi-
mated. |
Service will not be the main con-
sideration until street railways are
owned by the people and operated
for their convenience. Until that time
comes private profit will be the first
consideration.
The more financial burdens we put
on street railways by way of spe-
cial taxes, division of profits, etc., the
more difficult it will be for the COM
panies to give service. But we don't
solve the problem by relieving them
of these burdens, because the bust
ness rule is as l have stated-no mat
ter what the conditions, to pack the
people in the fewest possible cars and
get the most nickels with the least
possibly outlay.
And while think the city made a
bad bargain when it went into part
hership with the street car companies,
still think giving them the SIS per
cent would be an outright gift for
which the people would get no con-
sideration.
So the city might as well keep on
taking the 55 per cent and building up
fund that will ultimately solve the
transportation in the only way l be-
ieve it can be solved; and that is by
municipal ownership and operation.
No doubt many tricks will be re-
sorted to to get the money out of the
hands of the people-subways for
example, subways for the loop that
will benefit the Field estate both ways,
connecting up the big store with the
street railway system and increasing
dividens on Field estate investment
in street railway securities.
If the city owned the present sur

ONE MANS OPINIONS
BY N. D. COCHRAN. !.

chicago's SIS Per Cent.-A. ]. Smith
sends me a copy of Weber's Weekly,
in which Geo. w. Weber discusses
Chicago's, 55 per cent of street rail-
way profits. 1 am asked to give my
opinion on the opening and closing
paragraphs, which are as follows:
81 am. willing that the city should
use part or all of it's SIS per cent for
good traction service" said Mayor
Harrison, eff the companies devote
their As per cent to the same purpose.
AS to the proposition Of the city CIV
ing up it's So without the companies
giving up their As, l would not con-
slider that in a million years"
The last paragraph is Weber's con-
clusion of his argument as follows:
1.-THE entire scheme of the city's
participation in the net profits of the
companies is inherently bad. It has
no authorization in law or ethics.
And it has worked out badly because
it has made city administrations par
ticipate in economies in street rail-
way service so that the city and COM
panies might both profit by made
quate service for fare-payers. And
good service-a nickePs worth for a
nickel is the very first requirement
of the law"
My opinion is that both Mayor Har-
rison and Weber are essentially right.
l think the deal between the city and
the companies was a bad one for the
city, because it made the city profit
by poor service taking the money
out of the pockets of street car riders
to givei to the city and the company:
But 1 also think that street car
riders would not benefit if the city
gave up its 55 per cent; for the pub
lie will get the same service whether
the city gets 55 per cent or no per
cent at ALL The result would be that

When she had read thus far, she

against her heart as if to still it's

in a drawer of her bureau. She went
downstairs and made Ranston bring
her chair to its accustomed place un

through the falling twilight.
She and Shirley talked but little at
dinner. and what she said seemed to
