Wolfe had her opening day for the display of willinery goods, and wishing to see the latest Paris and New York styles of feminine headwear, I stepped into her parlors and found them thronged with anxious sight seers. The array of hats is simply bewildering. The shapes and styles are models of beauty and taste, many of the hats are of elegant material and beautifully trimmed. Some of the styles were so readily disposed of that a duplication of the order was necessary. Mrs. Wolfe has displayed her usual exquisite taste in her fall and winter selections. ——*“Did you cver take advantage of anyhody in a bargain ?" ““Nos of recent years,” answered Mr. Cumrox. ‘‘You see, we've been livin’ so much in great capitals of Europe that I've ot sort of accustomed to bein’ the feller thas pays up without askin’ questions.” COULDN'T MAKE KOCH RETRACT “Devil Chaser” Threatened to Kill His Children—Foraker Abandons Fight For United States Senate — Two Killed When Auto Plunged Over Embankment—Child Fatally Burned Trying to Light Pipe—Driven to Sui- cide By Campaign Yarns—Dropped Dead Talking to Students. A signal victory was won by the opponents of the theory advanced by Dr. Robert Koch, the eminent German scientist, minimizing the danger of human infection from bovine tubercu- losis bacilli, when the sixth triennial Congress on Tuberculosis at Washing- ton, just before the final adjournment, placed itself squarely on record in op- position to the views of the German savant. The controversy over this momen- tous issue, which has been the sub- ject of much spirited debate during | the entire proceedings of the congress, reached its climax when that body, by unanimous vote, adop‘~d a resolution recognizing the “possibility” of hu- man infection from the bovine tubercu- lous bacilli. The text of the resolution, which was one of a series of official declarations, ig as follows: “Resolved, That the utmost efforts should be continued in the struggle against tuberculous to prevent the conveyance from man to man of tuber- , culosis infection, as the most import ant sources of the discase. “That preventive measures he con- tinued against bovine tuberculosis, | and that the possibility of the propaga- | tion of this to man be recognized.” This official expression, which was one of the most important results of the sessions of the congress, was greeted with prolonged cheers. An effort was made at a secret meet- ing of notable American and foreign scientists to induce Dr. Koch to recede from his position, but he refused. The meeting was very spirited. Dr. Abraham Jacchi, of New York, de- clared at one point: “The lives of thousands of babies in the world are of far more importance than the repu-! tation of one scientist.” Threatened to Kill Family. Another insane outbreak among the “Devil Chasers,” whose religious org- fes were responsible for the death of a | beautiful littie girl in the early sum- mer, came when William H. Bachman, a cousin of Albert Bachman, the Naza- reth man who killed the child in the first outbreak, went upon one of the frenzied “Bible studies” to which the members of the sect are addicted. William Bachman, who is now in jail as an insane patient, first exhib- ited his frenzy by kicking his wife out of the house at West Leesport, near Reading, Pa., and then turning in to beat all of his flve children, whose ages range from a baby of a year to a boy of eleven, for their “sense,” as he called it. He got the children together in a room, and with an old army cutlass and a flint-lock rifle in his hands, danced around them, declaring that he was inspired to blow all of them “into eternity.” Auto Plunged Over Embankment. In an automobile plunge over a 25. foot embankment at Gordon, Pa., Mrs. | Peter Young, thirty-four years old, and her daughter Helen, aged eight years, were instantly killed, and her hus- band, Peter Young, Sr., their son Pe- | ter, Jr. aged six years, and Charles Clark, a nephew of Mrs. Young, all of Ashland, sustained fractured skulls and inernal injuries. The injured were take to the State hospital, where the physicians state that there is little hope of their recovery. The steering gear of the machine failed to work, and in his eagerness to apply the emergency brake Mr. Young, who was driving the car, put on the power, which caused the 3500- pound machine to veer and plunge over the embankment, trapping the victims beneath it. Fear That Bears Have Eaten Child. Melvin Robbins, aged four, son of Ellis Robbins, of Emmons, a mountain town near the Sullivan county, Pa. line, has been lost in the woods since Tuesday,and though a determined hunt has been made by organized posses no traces of him can be found.

The axiocsn that “the woman pays” bad its illustration at Milford, Del, when Mrs. William Cirwithien, who, being detected as a guilty wife, un- faithful to her marriage vows, shot and killed herself in her angry hus- band’s presence. The man in the case, Fred Windsor, had four shots fired at him by Cihrwithien. So far as the husband was concers- ed, suspicion reached a climax Tues day, and he resolved to make a test of them. He was due to start out on his usual weekly trip, but instead of going far away he arranged to get back home in the middle of the night. This he did, reaching the house just about the stroke of midnight. Entering with his night key, Cir withien went upstairs and surprised his wife and Windsor alone together. Windsor fled, brushing past Cirwithien and darting out of the house. The hus- band drew a revolver and, despite the screams and pleas of Mrs. Cirwithien vt to shoot, fired four shots after Windsor Returning to the house, Cirwithien went to his wife's bedroom and up- braided her for her unfaithfulness, finally telling her to dress and leave the house. There was a scene, but Cirwithien refused to yield to the tears of his wife and her pledges, telling her to go back to her parents. Finally she dressed and, taking an umbrella, started to leave the house. Secretly, while she had been dressing, Mrs. Cirwithien took from her bureau drawer a revolver she had borrowed several days ago from a neighbor. Standing within a foot of the door, Mrs. Cirwithien pointed the revolver at her breast and fired. The bullet took effect in her heart and she fell dead. Cirwithien heard the shot and ran downstairs to find his wife lifeless, the revolver in one hand and her um- brella in the other. Two Killed By Explosion. Two persons lost their lives and twenty or more others were injured in Spencer, N. C.,, by the explosion of a powder storage house in the vards of the Southern Railway cem- pany, and most of the buildings near by were damaged by the shock and the fire which followed. Fire was discovered in the storage room of the powder house, and the Spencer shop fire department rushed to the scene. C. H. Layton and W. F. Stafford were holding the fire hose when the explosion occurred and were buried under the debris. With great difficulty their bodies were pulled out of the burning ruins after the scene was reached by fellow workmen. The Lord's Day Alliance. Official announcement has been made in Philadelphia that a national convention has been called to be held in the Second United Presbyter- ian church, Pittsburg, Dec. 1, 2 and 3, for the purpose of organizing a Na- tional Lords’ Day Alliance of the Unit- ed States. It is proposed that the alliance shall be organized along the same lines as the Lord's Day Alliance of Canada, which is said to be doing effective work in the preserwation of the Sabbath. All religious bodies, labor organizations and other organizations interested are invited to send repre- seniatives to the convention. Father Shot Son and Killed Himself. Because his son Richard refused to give him money which he demanded, John Burkhardt, sixty-six years old, shot and seriously wounded the younger man, drank carbolic acid and jumped from a window of his home at Union Hill, N. J, in an effort to end his own life. While the father and son were being rushed to a hospital in an ambulance the old man sprang upon the wounded boy and attempted to strangle him. He fell back and died just as the ambulance reached the hospital. Young Burkhardt probably wiil recover. Foraker Abandons Fight For Senate. Senator Joseph B. Foraker announc- ed at Cincinnati, O., that he would not make a speaking tour of Ohio this fall in advocacy of his re-election to the United States senate. This an- nouncement, following one made just after the Hearst expose, saying he would tour the state and speak in defense of his connection with the Standard Oil company, is taken by his opponents to mean that Foraker recog- nizes the futility of trying for re-elec- tion to the senate.
