THE WIFE OF A DRUGGIST. ‘WET DOWN INTO THE STORE FOR MEDICINE. Accidentally Got the Carbolic Acid Bottle, It Is Supposed—Died Be- fore She Could Make a Statement. Mrs. Alvina Schettler, wife of William R. Schettler, a druggist at 5300 North Broad- Way, died at 3 o’clock Sunday morning from the effects of a dose of carbolic acid. She was 40 years old and the mother of three children. Her husband believes she took the car- bolic acid unintentionally, believing it to be a harmless remedy for insotmnia Mrs. Schettler was a constant sufferer from sleeplessness. She had formed the habit of going down stairs to the drug store at night for medicine to make her sleep. Saturday night Mr. Schettler closed the etore and went to the barber shop. When he returned his wife was asleep. At 3 o'clock she awakened him and told him she had taken carbolic acid. Before she could ex- lain, she lapsed into unconsciousness. Mr. hettler called Dr. W. C. Lewis, the fam- _fily physician, but Mre. Schettler was dead before the doctor arrived. Mr. Schettler believes his wife went to y and on.

The weapon used was a bucket of concentrated lye and both con- testants are disfigured with the powerful liquid and the eyesight of the woman may bé fost. They are at the City Hospital and are being held prisoners. McCoy is a mulatto. Della is very black. They lived together at 110 South Second street without the formality of a legal mar- riage. According to Della’s story, McCoy gave her 8 cents to buy provisions. She retufmed and after breakfast McCoy asked her fér the change. She declared she had t 4 cents of the money and offered the nicke] that remained. McCoy was ered, and stepping to the cupboard where the concentrated lye was, picked up the bucket and started to dash the con- tents on her. She threw up her hands and t of the stuff went on her and part on . McCoy says Delia was the one who ‘arted the + ht and he says she is the one ho threw the lye. ‘SUDDEN DEATH OF A CHILD. Little Una Joyce Drank Stagnant Cis- | tern Water. Wna Joyce, aged 7 years, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Chauncey Joyce, died suddenly Sunday afternoon at her home, 2835 Thomas street. Typhoid fever is given as the cause of @edth. The little one was taken sick last Wriday. But a few days previous she drank tagnant cistern water, which is believed to D BY MISTAKE - , oh AA AED _ LOVE It Led Stella Armstrong to Kill Herself. SHE TOOK CARBOLIC ACID. HEE HEART BROKEN OVER HER SISTER’S CONDUCT. An Aged Father Plunged in Grief—Re- markable Troubles Come to an Old Family From Kentucky. Stella Armstrong made repeated attempts to rescue her sister, Sadie, who left home and family four years ago. Failure at- tended her every effort, and late Sunday night Stella swallowed a potion of carbolic acid and her life went out at the City Hos- pital shortly after 7 o’clock Monday morn- ing. Stella Armstrong was 20 years old. She Was a daughter of William M. Armstrong and her home was at 6810 Old Manchester road. The fatal draught was swallowed at the home of Mrs. Wetzel, 1521 Sulphur avenue, where she was temporarily stop- ping. Enoch Williams is a grocer’s clerk and he boards with Mrs. Wetzel, who is his aunt. It was 11:20 o’clock Sunday night when young Williams entered his aunt’s home. As he entered the front door he noticed that the door leading into Stella’s room was ajar and that a light was burn- ing. As he started to pass by he saw the girl cross the room and lift a glass to her lips. She was fully dressed and Williams paused to speak to her. While he stood in the door the girl raised the glass to her lips and drained the contents. At that in- stant he thought she was only taking a drink of water and made no effort to pre- vent her. In another moment she had fallen to the floor. Williams ran to her side, at first too shocked to do anything in her behalf. She managed to gasp out: “Tell papa and sister Norah.’’ Then she sank back on the floor. The young man aroused the household and a doctor was summoned. But the powerful acid had not been diluted and though antidotes were administered no relief came. An ambulance was summoned and the unfortunate girl was removed to the City Hospital, where she died early Monday morning. She was unconscious most of the time and the only words she spoke were those to young Williams when she asked that her father and sister be sent for. W. M. Armstrong, the girl’s father. and Robert Bishop, a relative living at 1523 Sul- phur avenue, next door-to the house where the acid was swallowed, called at the City Hospital an hour after Stella’s death was announced. Mr. Armstrong was 80 overcome by grief when he heard of his daughter's death that at first he could scarcely speak. The Arm. strongs came from Davis County, Ky., ten years ago. There were Sadie, Norah and Stella, three daughters. Mr. Armstrong was a merchant there, but failing health caused him to retire. The first great grief that came on the family was something over four years ago, when Sallie left the parental roof. She was young then and her folly and the shame that she brought on the home would have been overlooked. But she would not have it so. All efforts to reclaim her were in vain. The glamor of the Jife she had adopted was still upon her, and the scales still covered her eyes. Stella refused to be reconciled to her sis- ter’s fate. She did not give up hope until a few months ago, when the misguided girl disappeared. It was then noticed that Stella grew more reserved and took less interest in her home duties. A few weeks ago she went to live with Miss Wetzel. Sun- day afternoon she was at home with her parents and it was observed that she was unusually sad and dejected. The cause for Steila’s ending of her youn life was told in a brief note left addresse to her father. It merely said that she had given up all hope of Sadie ever returning home, and there whs nothing further in life for her. While he told the story the old father could not keep the tears back and the sympathies of those who heard the re- FOR HER WAYWARD SISTER, } tine guardian, guard inspector, carpenter, steam TOOK POISON ON STREET CAR.

Wilson, Lies in the Dead House at the City Hospital. In the dead house at the City Hospital is the body of a young woman who came toa her death from the effects of a dose of car- rifles were waiting in liné to-day for the opening of the office for the payment of Cuban soldiers who will give up their arms, end there are also present about eight men with receipts for arms, delivered up to the civil authorities. The majority of those with rifles say they have had all the fighting they want and add that they do not care who takes the arms so long as they receive their $75. It ts probable that the payment will con- tinue here all day, owing to the fact that it takes some time to jook up each man’s record. Advices from Cienfuegos say the reports, under date of May 15, of rioting there on the part of Cuban. dock Jaborers have been exaggerated; that not over a dozen men were engaged and that only one man was wounded instead of one man being killed and seven wounded, as at first reported.

This meas- ure called for the taking of the Dreyfus revision case out ofithe hands of the crimi- nal chamber ami giving it to the whole court. The fact that the criminal chamber had been discredited, and also that the ver- dict of the court in united session would be unimpeachable shows that the govern- ment’s bill was anything but an anti-Drey- fus scheme. On March 1 this bill was of 158 to 131 and on Marc revision case was on before chambers of the Count of Cassation. investigation has proceeded by may 4 and without interruption. According to the evi- dence published in the Figaro the case against Dreyfus has been riddled and the fa- mous secret dossier proved to be a mass of documents of doubtful authenticity and containing absolutely no direct proofs of the prisoner's guilt. THE COURT MEETS. =xtersive Precautions Taken to Pre- vent Disorder. PARIS, May 29.—The Court of Cassation met to-day to ‘hear the debates in the ap- plication for a revision of the Dreyfus case. The doors of the Palace of Justice were opened at 11 o'clock: Persons connected with the case, newspaper men and others began to arrive half an hour previously. There was much animation in the lobbies of the Palace, but the crowds in the vi- cinity were not large. Extensive precau- tions were taken to Seog order inside and outside the building. The Colonel- Commanding the guard at the Palace has been given special reinforcements, by ‘the Military Governor A Paris, Gen. Zurlinden, and considerable forces of military and mounted police have been assembled at the barracks in the vicinity of the court. The witnesses who have testified in the Dreyfus case were admitted by a door on the left of the Palace and those con- nected with the trial of Mme. Deroulede and Marcel Habert, for inciting soldiers to insubordination in connection with the elec- tion of President Loubet which is also be- fore the court .to-day, were admitted by another door on the right of the building. Speculators about the palace were selling seats at points of vantage for from 10 to 20 francs each, but tle business done was not as good as during the Zola trial, when they easily d6btained 40 francs for seats. The court room was filled with Parisian celebrities, the greater part of the hall having been reserved for ticket holders. Many judges belonging to other courts were among those present and absolute tran- quility prevailed. There were about: 20 ladi audience filling the galleries. The proceedings ‘commenced at noon. Amid profound silence, the President of the Civil Section of the court read his report on the case. After recalling the contentions under which the prosecution of . Dreyfus was instituted in 1894 he dealt with the con- tradictory evidence of the experts in hand- writing, and mentioned the protest of in- . wre by a vote 4 the Dreyfus the united The es among the cing OP.

Dr. Dean made a brilliant record during ‘his. connection with that institution, and following Dr. Otto Sutter’s resignation he was placed temporary charge of the hospital. Dr. Dean announced his decision to Hos- pital Superintendent Nietert several days ego, and the latter insisted that he remain. After further deliberation Dr. Dean said he would not change his plans. To a reporter Dr. Dean said: “TI have been anxious to leave for some time, prin- cipally because,my health was breaking down and I needed rest. “T intend to take a trip East and* will probably not return until September. By way of parting I may reiterate, in the light of practical experience, that St. Louis needs a new City Hospital just as soon as it can be built. “However, the hospital accommodations are not uncomfortable, and the’recent im- provements there have greatly facilitated our work.” Dr. Robert Amyx, is mentioned as Dr. cessor.
