damage Essen has been the center Of
military supplies 10 beligerents, and
has exported on an enormous scale re
belligerents in all modern wars. making
vast profits from this traffic even iii
the late Balkan wars.
Germany has consistently followed
this course. even when one Of the
beliigereuts alone had access 10 her
markets and the other. with which she
was nominally in sympathy had no such
access. This was shown in the Boer
w0I. Among supplies furnished by Ger
many 70 Great Britain for use against
the Beers were los l5-pounder quick
firing guns and $4,000 rounds OF ammu-
milton for them; $4,000 hundredweieht
of swords. cutlasSes, bavoncts and arms
of other sorts; 100000 rounds Of
small-arms ammunition and 1000. 06G
of metal cartridge eases other than
small-arms' ammunition: and some -.

abeth Herzig, wife of Philip Herzig,
of louisville, died at clock sSatur-
day night after she had been shot
through her right side by. her Sahrgest
son, seven years old, with a shotgun.
The accident happened at $50 O'Clock
in the afternoon, aud though Mrs.
Herzig was attended by DR.. John
Mather of Colrain and DR.. c. l.. Upton
of Shelburne Falls, all efforts to save
her life were unavailing.
Mrs. Herzig's oldest son had been
hunting during the day and upon his
return left the gun in the shed outside
the house. The little boy got hold OF
the weapon and dragged it into the
house where his mother was hopping
the kitchen floor. Before Mrs. Herzig
could get the gun away from the little
fellow it went off, tearing an ugly
wound in her right side.
The body was viewed by Medical
Examiner F. J. Canedy, who declared
death accidental. Besides her husband
Mrs. Herzig leaves one daughter and
nine sons. She was 81 years old.

for issuing prescriptions for cocaine

returned would be the means Of stop
ping the practice. which has been go
ing on for over a year at least. Many
cases OF larceny and other petty Of
fences have no doubt been committed
by this class OF drug iends. Recently
three doctors offices have been brok-
en- into and robbed OF a quantity OF
the drugs above mentioned. and late
ly a dentists office was broken into
twice In search OF the drugs. Il is
hoped by the authorities that the ac-
tion Of ths grand jury yesterday Will
effectively stop the practice in the

This wrong method OF paying the
