GAS, BAY RUM AND
JAMAICA GINGER
Combination Too Much for Harry
Betz, Carpenter, Who is
Found Dead in Bed.

With nearly hundred empty Jamaica
ginger and bay rum bottles in the room,
Harry Betz, So years old, a carpenter,
employed at the Pusey 4 Jones plant was
found dead from asphyxiation yesterday
afternoon, by Aaron Slomenson, twelve
yesr-oId son of Mr.. and Mrs Morris
Slomenson, 204 King street, with whom
Beta had roomed more than three months.
Pstrolmen McGilion and Eldrickson
arrived ut the house shortly after the dis
covery WAS made and in their investiga-
tion found the great number of empty
bottles. A pint bottle half full of bay rum
WAS found standing on table near the
bed. Betz, with his coat, hat and shoes oil,
was lying in bed with several blankets
wrapped about him.
Gas was escaping from a stove which the
man used to cook his meals, which gas
burner which connected with the same
pipe WAS burning. That the escaping gas
from the stove, which was evidently
turned on late Saturday night, did not
ignite and set fire to the house, Is a mystery
1t is the opinion of the police that Beta
became intoxicated from drinking the
hair tonic and when he was about to re-
tire, attempted to turn on the gas light.

guently talked to Beta, stated that he

wife aud family there. According TO
Somenson, Beta came TO Wilmington a
little over three months ago and gained
employment in the shipyards. Coroner
Nichols WAS notified of the death by the
police and took charge of the body.

HIGHEST HONORS PAID POET

was carried to the Trades hall, In
the High street, and from there, on
Monday, July %, it was borne to the

1.-THE Faery Oueen.D

As a work of art "The Faery
Queen" at once astonishes us by the
wonderful fertility and richness of
the writer's imagination, by the facil-
ity with which he finds or makes Ian
guage for his needs, and above all, by
the singular music and sweetness Of
his verse. The main theme seldom
varies; 1t Is noble knight, fighting,
overcoming, tempted, delivered or a
beautiful lady plotted against, dis
tressed. rescued The poets afiuence
of fancy and speech gives a new turn
and color to each adventure. But be
sides that, under these conditions
there must be mOnOtOny; the poets
art, admirable as it is, gives room for
objections. There was loose
ness and carelessness, partly belonging
to his age, partly his own. In the use
of materials, nothing comes amiss to
him. He had no scruples as a copy
ist. He took without ceremony any
piece Of old metal-word, story or i'm
age-which came to his hand. and
threw II into the melting pot Of his i'm
agination, 10 come out fused with his
own materials, often transformed, but
often unchanged. The effect was
sometimes happy, but not always so.

TO RESTORE FAMOUS PARK

place of New York.

Modern New York will probably bet
ter appreciate its Bowling Green
fence, recovered and restored to view
by the Broadway association, for the
incidental publicity of the restoration.
When the fence was new, Bowling
Green was an important part of the
town, and the New Workers of ITO
considered it we'll worth while to Inn
port the fence from England and pay
$500 for it. One is reminded that, short
ly before the fence was put up, the 10y

the Stamp act, had adorned Bowling

Why Strike COLLAPSED.

Two telegraph operators worked in
the office of the Milwaukee Free Press.
Both were employed by the press as
ISOLATION and not by the paper. They
came soused one Sunday night, de-
cided TO strike, making demands for
more pay and shorter hours from the
managing editor of the newspaper.
They were told to make their petition
to their employers. The telegraphers
retired for a council of war, put the
strike into effect and decided to picket
the office. The Office had but one en-
trance, but there must be strategy /;
so one of the strikers posted himself
directly in front Of the Office and the
other around the corner, the two be-
ing out of sight of each other
Then each had the same bunch Of
getting another drink. They left their
posts and that was the end Of the
strike. Other operators were called in
and the wires buzzed merrily on

HAD CHRONIC BRONCHITIS
FOR TWENTY SIX YEARS
NOW WELL AND HAPPY
THIS HS NORTH READING

The experience of Mr.. e. J. Tou-
palik, 1438 Rose street, Lacrosse,
Wisconsin, is chiefly remarkable
on account of the length of time
he was afflicted.
He writes: 81 have been suf-
ferlng with chronic bronchitis for
twenty-six years and every winter
would catch cold and become so
hoarse l could not speak for six or
eight weeks. I could get only tenn
porary relief.
"This winter I was taken with
Grip and was in awful shape. A
fellow workman advised me to take
PE-RU-NA. By the time / had
used three-fourths of bottle, the
hoarseness was gone, also that
tired feeling. am on my second
bottle. Hereafter PE-RU-NA will
be constantly in my house. It is
the best medicine ever put up for
the purpose"
For any disease due to catarrh
or catarrhal conditions, PE-RU-NA
is equally dependable. Coughs,
colds, catarrh of the head, stomach
trouble, constipation, rheumatism,
pains in the back, side and loins,
bloating, belching gas, indigestion,
catarrh of the large and small in
testines, are some of the troubles
for which PE-RU-NA is especially
recommended.
pE-RU-NA can be purchased
anywhere in either tablet or liquid
form.

A little while after she had
gone. George rose and began solemnly
to dress for dinner.
he sat gauntly at the dinner table
with Fanny to partake of a meal
throughout which neither spoke. Is
abel had sent word mot to wait" for
her, an injunction it was as well they
oDeyed, for she did not come at all.
But with the renewal Of sustenance
furnished to his system, some relax
alton must have occurred within the
hlgh-strung George. Dinner was not
quite finished when, without warning,
sleep hit him hard. His burning eyes
could no longer restrain the lids above
them; his head sagged beyond con-
troll; and he got his feet, and went
lurching upstairs. yawning with ex-
haustion. From the door of his room,
which he closed mechanically, with his
eyes shut, he went blindly to his bed,
fell upon it soddenly, and slept-with
his face full upturned to the light.
1t was after midnight
when he woke, and the room was dark.
He had not dreamed, but he woke with
the sense that somebody or something
had been with him while he slept
somebody or something infinitely COM
passionate; somebody or something in
finitely protective, that would let him
come to no harm and to no grief.
He got up, and pressed the light on.
Pinned to the cover of his dressing ia
BILE was square envelope, with the
words, For you, DEAR" written in
pencil upon it. But the message in
side was in ink, little smudged here
and there.
Il have been out to the mail box,
darling, with letter I've written to
Eugene, and he'll have it in the morn
ing. 1t would be unfair not to let
him know at once and my decision
could not change if waited. T. would
always be the same. l think it is
a little better for me to write to you,
like this, instead of waiting till you
wake up and then telling you, because
I'm foolish and might cry again, and
] took a vow once, long ago, that you
should never see me cry. l think
what makes me most ready to cry
now is the thought of the terrible suf-
fering in your poor face, and the I'M
happy knowledge that it is 1, your
mother, who put it there. 1t shall
never come again 1 love you better
than anything and everything else on
earth. God gave you to me-and oh ]
how thankful l have been every day
of my life for that sacred gift-and
nothing can ever come between me
and Gods gift. And Eugene was
right know you couldn't change
about this. Your suffering shows how
deep-seated the feeling is within you.
So I've written him just about what
! think you would like me to-though
l told him I would always be fond of
him and always his besC friend, and |
hoped his dearest friend. He'll under
stand about not seeing him. He'll I'M
derstand that, though 1 didn't say it
in so MANY words. You mustn't trou-
BILE about that-hell understand.
Goodnight, my darling, my beloved,
my beloved! You mustn't be trou-
bled. / think l shouldn't mind any
thing very much so long as l have
you all to 'myself'-as people say-to
make up for your long years away
from me at college. Wen talk of
what's best to do in the morning,
shan't we? And for all this pain you'll
forgive your loving and devoted

He turned heavily away, and mo-
ment later glanced back over his
shoulder. She had not gone on, but
stood watching him, that same casual,
cordial smile On her face to the very
last; and now, as he looked back,
emphasized her friendly unconcern by
waving her small hand to him cheer

hint of preoccupation, as if she had
begun to think of the errand that
brought her down town.
Lucy remained where she was until
he was out of sight. Then she went
slowly into the drug store which had
struck George as a possible source OF
stimulant for himself.

composure.
