VOL. I. MISS TAMER IS POISOII) Omaha, Neb., April m.— well-known actress, Cora Tanner, is on the verge of death here from the effects of eating poisoned candy left at her hotel by .hi unknown messenger. She was taken ill last night im mediately after partaking of the candy. A chemist has made an analysis .md finds that the confectionery was dosed with prussic acid. Miss Tanner is suffering intensely and has but a very:faint chance of recovery! The police are using their utmost efforts to discover the perpetrator of the crime. The diabolical attempt recalls the recent Botkin case In San Francisco, where Mrs. Botkin was convicted of sending the poisoned candy through the mail-*. caus ing the death of Mrs. Dunning and her sister at Dover, Delaware. It is believed that the story of that crime published in the newspapers, gave the idea to the per son who attempted Miss Tanner's life today. HARTFORD (JOES TO All.

In one's family, but Ihe men who took to marriage a* a means uf support are compsratlvsly few, and usually their attitude toward life I. so ob vious that no fairly sensible rich girl need be taken In by Ihem. says Harper's !t*i»_r No man who Is not a foot or a rascal will wish io marry a woman, be she rich or poor, with whom he does not bell.v. he can live happily. Out there ts no such thing a* a marriage in w hi tans partner la happy and the other not. Cither It la a good marriage for both ur for neither. Marriage la sa much, or very nearly as much, a failure lo a man who is not happy iv.th a rich wlfs. .ts to one who Is not happy where both are poor. Wh it tbe rich girl wants Is just what the poor girl wants—a good in in who suits her, and who Is worth tn irrvinc. tf she ran satisfy her self that her suitor Is a goo,) man, and lhat he has sense enough lo provide for his own happiness, sh* need not distress her mind with speculations as to how mv- h weight brr fortune has in promoting his attentions. The man who wants to marry her merely '"ill"- She is rich Is unworthy, and If she has a fair degree of discernment she will detect his unworthlneis. Hut the man who wants to marry her. in I IB glad she has a fortune tie-cause 11 mokes marriage m* feasible for both of them, la not necessarily un worthy, but If she love* him be may be an advantagroua person for her to marry. The practical turn of mind which makes a man appreciate the advantages of accumulated money does not necessarily render him In any reaped Incapable of ap preciating a woman, or repaying her confldene* In 'him wllh entire devo tion and fidelity. Her fortune, far from being a drawback to her hap pines. after marriage, .ill still tie hers, and will still be about aa use ful to her as It wis before. The possession of It Will help to make her an equal partner In the house hold, and. Indeed, will tend, espe cially If it Is 100 big. to mnk» her the ruling partner, so th.at ph.* will have need to exercise some discre tion lo avoid h-ivlng too much her own way. That may be had for her. i.'it It Is one of th. risks rich girls must run. II Is of'- by the rlr.k the mnn runs In having 1,1. future, too murh dominated '*v his wife's money; but If the man Is th* right sort of mnn and the woman th. right sort of woman, both risks may be safely taken. in the end It Is character and disposition that cnunt, nn.l the money, be there much or little, and whoever has It, becomes on Incident and no more.

All the skirls are circular. Every one remembers the shocking habit circular skirts used to* have of sag- King on the sides. Xow that they are made so lon«r all around, per l.i|is It won't matter a* much when they do rag. but their peculiar hab its In this respect are an added arm ment in favor of material bo welt sponged n*«i It will neither shrinK nor stretch. The circular Skirt of the present ''.area Krai, fully about ihe feet, but about the hips. It Is needless I*, remark. It fits as tightly as can be. If It la fastened In th. bark. there are patent fastenings to be ..id which are invisible, and which keep It in place The straps or buttons In sight over ths placket hole are purely ornamental. Many of the skirts are made with separate linings In such rase*. If stitching la us, .1 f.r ornamentation, a .11. hem Is turned around the bottom, and It Ib stitched with as many rows of thread as the taste of the wearer dictates. When a tunic effect Is used. tho underskirt Is of the lining; sad simply fared with i l.th on the right all. far enough under the tunic to hide the lining. Sham skirls were, always a trial, but to have a cloth skirt and over that a cloth over skirt Is to support a back-bresklna; weight. P.. buy the very lightest possible linings ami eliminate all the cloth possible with a kool showier, and even then ynu will sigh for the care free and light .lays of plain skirls. CM coc.rse, when instead of an ovrrßsTtrt the overdress la a prin cess snd ..'.I in one. and '.a a coat which may be taken off to show a silk waist, [hire Is no help tor It. Two thicknesses ..I cloth must be Iks— The skirt must be cloth to the waist, and then there Is th. cloth of the princess coat over that. Hut this princess coat, rounding off In front to show the underskirt and finished with big buttons, which fßS ten It at one 1.-. very beau* tiful and so very desirable that Its w<*arer can go back to the old adage of "Pride feels no poln." Slept Three Days in a Fog. The day was so dark thai it seem ed twilight In the streets: In all ths shops and stores electric lights wars burning, says the Chicago Journal. "What Uo you Ihlnk this la dark?" saiil the little tailor, answering: the Impatient exclamation of th» cus tomer for whom he was wrapping up s pnlr of trousers. "This Is noth ing. oil ought to be In a London fog." "It wouldn't be any worse than 0i1..' returned the customer. "It wouldn't? That shows .'l've never been In London. Why, when I first went there lo work In a shop the fog almost caused me to lose my Job rleht off." Tin* tailor paused ns In- broke tho .nine .in l then went on: "The first night ntler 1 got 10 London I was tired nut. I went t.i bed nnd slept like a loir. After a while i woke up; It was J'.tst Bag*** ning to get light. I supposed It was early yet, so t wenl bark to sleep. When 1 woks up again it wns dark, so I went bark to uleep again.

Such a Chang* would have meant the transfer to the Sitka land district of about (7,1100 s.|itare mites, of territory. Th* change as finally agr».tl upon embraces only about 10,000 squars mile*. It being the country south of tbs «oih parallel and lying between the former west boundary of th* Bilk*, district and th* Ifloth mar talian. A study "f the map of Alaska will Boon convince ..tie that the south eastern portion **f the Yukon dle- Mai la rather Inaccessible to the Rampart City land oSlem, tor In order to rem the office a trip I* required over to I'nalask*. then to M.

Very recently, however, several mineral land entries bay. been ap plied for, and it Is thought thai proper research will develop good mineral location* The people liv ing along Ilrlatol bay are reneratty engaged in the fishing and canning business. Then, are about too na tives there engaged by th. largo canneries, run by American capital and management, and as a rule Ihey have very Intl. interest In th* lands, mora than much as thsy require for their homes. On* of the authorities consulted by Commissioner Hermann as to the advisability of making th* change In land districts, waa Inspector John I*. Olurn, who visited Alaska last summer In th- interest of the post* al service. He said that settlement wss very spa raw In that part of Alaska. The department, however. Is now considering a proposition to establish a poetomc* near th* head of Ilrlatol bay. In th* vicinity of Fort Alexander, probably at lha mouth of the Nuahagak river. It he tog th*- Intention to name the office Nuahagak. Th* salmon canning in terests will, of course*, be Ih. ones to reap tbe greatest benefits from the new office, but at the same time they will make moat of Its business, as their plant Ues to Ihe south of the Nuahagak liver but a few miles.

Weight of the Brain. Th* weight of the brain varies In adult and healthy human being" Among th» white races the average i between th* age* ,-f thirty snd frit. when It attains Ha maximum devel opment, la IJM grama for men and IIM for women. Placing the weight of the female brain at ton. the male brain would welsh lit. other things being aqua!. This difference cannot be ascribed to the relatively small er alio of women as comparer-, with men. It baa been shown that ths height of th* sexes la as BIT for wo men to 100 for man, whereas tha weight of her brain Is a* 800 In 100. The brain Is, th-ref.-r*. really light er In the ease of women. This ob tains st all ages. Tables drawn up by llrm't respect- Ing 147 healthy brains, show that this organ Increases up to the age of 40, remains stMtlonnry up to Ml. and then loses weight. Ileynnd the age of fill men lost 57 per rent., and women 4.7 per cent, of the mail* mum weight Th* brain Increase* In proportion to the vascular activity whlrh pro ceeds therein. This rxplalna why tbe brains of certain criminals and mad peraona are very voluminous Hut of nil the kinds of activity that which conforms to th.' purpose of the organ appears to be the most eillcnclous. Bin h Is the physiologic al activity of which Intelligence Is th* result. The weight recorded by many scientists prove It. The brain of the great paleontologist Cui-i.-r. which weighed IMA grams. Is held to be an argument In Itself, and the same applies to the no less remark able, though Inferior, weight of tin* brains of A1..-I i i .mill' Iliiu-e and lUipuytren.
