Woman Says Pictures Compelled Her
to Tell About Killing Husband.
Macon, Ga., Nov. 'JO. Goaded by her
conscience after seeing a moving pic
ture in which the killing of a husband
by his wife was depicted, -Mrs. Mc
Afee, a well to do widow of this city,
Las confessed that she killed her hus
band In Ireland ten years ago. She
now pleads to be taken back to the
scene of the crime so that she may be
punished
Two weeks ago Mrs. McAfee snw
the moving picture, the plot of which,
she thought, corresponded In a meas
ure with the hidden story of her life.
From that day. her relatives say, she
began to worry and weep. She sum
moned her relatives and confessed
that she had been responsible for the
violent death of her husband In Ire
lnnd In 1002 and that It was preying
on her mind. She said she would nev
er know another moment's peace un
less she returned to Ireland and suf
fered for her act.
She snys that she was Jealous of hor
husband and brought about his death
In such a way that it seemed acci
dental. Then she disposed of his prop
erty and came to the United States.
She lived In the north until two years
ago. when she came to Macon, where
she has a sister and other relatives
who are prominent Physicians, while
not discrediting Mrs. McAfee's con
fession, say remorse has affected her
mind.
sand steel workers are idle at the
three plants.
While a committee representing the
SOU strikers sat In the anteroom of the
Homestead Steel works awaiting an
answer from the Carnegie company of
ficials In Pittsburgh to their demands
unknown persons planted two sticks of
dynamite under a train load of struc
tural steel in the yards at Homestead
which was awaiting shipment to Pan
ama and came within an ace of blow
ing the eastern corner of the plant into
kingdom come. Employees of the ship
ping department spied two men run
ning from beneath the train In the
semidarkness. stopped a switching en
gine and plucked the dynamite nltnost
from under the wheels. The fugitives
escaped.
Homestead Is asking whether the
present skirmish is the prelude to n
repetition of the tragedy of the Home
stead strike of 1802, when PInkertons
and state troops shot down fifty strik
ing steel workers. The labor unions
have been barred froui the Carnegie
mills ever since the strike of 1S02. In
the past three months the American
Federation of Labor has entered on an
nctlve campaign to unionize the Carne
gie mills at Homestead Braddock and
Duquesne.

than at tho department of fisheries.
This Is probably bocauso farmers
who wish to ndd a sldollno of frogs
to their farm naturally write the
department with which they aro
most familiar. Tho only nnswer
which can bo given tho Inquiries Is
tho uniform ono that no successful
way has yet been discovered of
raising frogs In captivity to an ex
tent which will .mako tho venture
commercially profitable.
Tho difficulty is that frogs will
cat only Uvo food, principally In
sects, nnd these can not be supplied
In sufficient quantities. This drives
the frogs to cannibalism when they
become Inordinary hungry; and It Is
possible for n frog to swallow a
fellow almost as big as himself. In
stances are known where colonies of
several hundred frogs havo been re
duced to a few dozen by the jump
ers eating each other.

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED
by local aumicauuua. as ther can
not reach tho diseased nortlon nf thai

deafness, and that la by constitu

ed by an Inflamed condition of thol
mucous lining of tho Eustachian!
Tube. When this tube Is inflamed!
you havo a rumbling sound or low
perfect hearing, and when it Is enJ
tlroly closed, Deafness is the resultJ
and unless the Inflammation can br
taken out and this tube restored tr
Its normal condition, hearing will
be destroyed forever: nine cases mil
of ten are caused by Catarrh, whlcll
is nothing but an Inflamed condition
or the mucous surfaces.
