Washington, Feb. 7.—The house to

Impeachment case. Mr. Palmer (Pa.)

agers of the house to the answer of

house of representatives are ready to
prove the same.
Without comment of any kind the
replication was adopted. Authority

New York, Feb. 7.—A young wo
man, described as Louise Scroeder
and Louisa Adams, was shot and in
stantly killed by Emil Bollinger, a
janitor, who was arrested after being
seriously injured in an attempt to es
cape.
The shooting took place In the din
ing room of a hotel on Third avenue,

been during the night. Bollinger, who
had been sitting in another part of
the room watching the trio for some
hours, suddenly advanced to the table
at which they sat, and, drawing a re

left him two years ago on acount
his attention to the woman who was
killed by him today.

8HOT WIFE; KILLED SELF.
Man After Murdering Woman Jumps
Into Flaming Oil Well.
Marietta, O., Feb. 7.—Lindsay Ow
en’s expiation for what he thought
was the crime of wife murder, stands
out unique and awful in the annala of
self-destruction.

revolver into bis wife and leaving her
for dead, in their house, the wealthy
farmer and oil producer walked to an
oil derrick on his farm. Ascending

powerless to interfere, deliberately set
llro to a huge tank of oil and then !
cast himself Into the fiery furnace of \
death.
It Is said that for some time Owen, |
who was widely known throughout the j
oil fields of Ohio and West Virginia,'
has been quarreling with his wife. In-1
cited. It is said, by the rage of jeal
ousy, ho shot the woman down. He
then emptied the contents of his pistol
into the body of his victim, and, leav
ing her, executed himself in the man
ner already described.
RESCUED IN NICK OF TIME.
Thirty Men Narrowly Escape Death
by Cold and Starvation.
Baltimore, Md., Feb. 7.—Thirty men
rescued from death by starvation is
the result of the trip of the Iceboat
Annapolis to Tangier sound. Fifteen
of the men are Deals Islanders, taken
from Great South Marsh, and tho bal
ance are residents of Crisfleld taken
from marshes along the shores of the
Hedges straits.
All the harrowing stories of the
hardships suffered by these men, as
told heretofore, were found to have
been true by the crew of the Iceboat.
The oystermen had been In their pre
dicament for varying terms, somo hav
ing gone to the marshes as early as
Jan. 4. Their provisions were entire
ly exhausted and the men kept them-
selvea alive by eating oysters, and
they kept from freezing by burning in
the small stoves in their tiny ship
cabins the driftwood they dug out
of the snow and ice.
CECKWITH 8UCCUMCS TO DEATH!
Uanl; Wat Wrecked by Mrs. Cassis j
Chadwick s Operation*.
Oberliu, O.. Feb. 8.—C. T. Beckwith,
president of the delunct Citizen’s Na
tional tank, of (his city, died at 10:45
o’clock Sunday night after two day
of unconsciousness during which dis
solution was expected at any moment.
Only the family surroundad the death
bed of the banker.
Mr. Beckwith was about 65 years
of age. On Dec. 14 Inst, the federal
grand jury in Cleveland returned five
Indictments against Beckwith upon the
charge of violating the national bank
ing laws In connection with the loans
made to Mrs. Cassio L. Chadwick by
the Citizen’s National bank, of Ober-
lin, of which the deceased was tho
p evident.
From the day of his arrest Beck
with’s health failed rapidly, as
suit of worrv over his troubles.
Give Chickens Poisoned Turnips.
Columbus, Ga., Feb. 7.—An un
usual charge has been docketed In po
lice court against D. W. Gill, a citizen
of Rose Hill. His neighbors allege
that he put poison on his turnips In
order to kill their chickens. They are
more aggrieved at alleged use of poi
son than over the death of the chick
ens. This case brings up some In
teresting points. It is contended that
Gill had the right to wring the necks
of chickens If they were trespassing
In his garden, but that poisoning them
Is a different matter entirely. His
side of the case has not yet been stat
ed. When the case was called In re*
cordcr’s court it was continued.
C. T. BECKWITH.
frequently declared during his illness
that he wanted to die. For several
days prior to his death he refused to
take food In any form. Death re
sulted directly from heart trouble,
Tho death of President Beckwith
may materially weaken the cases of
forgery and conspiracy to misapply
bank funds, now charged against Mrs.
Chadwick.
It was expected that Beckwith would
bo the star witness on both the fed
eral and common pleas courts.
There Is no ways to perpetuate Book-
with’s testimony. The constitution
of the United States says an accused
person must be confrnted in court by
the aocusers. A deposition or affida
vit cannot bo used.
YOUTH KILLS HIS BROTHER.
An Unusual Death of Woman.
Wilmington, N. C.. Feb. 7— Mrs.

unusual manner and under very pe
culiar circumstances several days ago.

| ing the services she gavo her experi
ence, and testified to her faith and ac
ceptance of God, an«l sho was ready
to go whenever tho Master called her.
She sat down, and the next moment
fell over dead. Tho attack, following
the proclamation of faith, caused much
excitement among the congregation.

Few people realize tho extent of the
perfume industry or of tho Immense
number of flowers that are annually
grown for the extract gained from
them. It Is estimated that millions of
pounds of rose leaves aro annually re
duced to perfumes, and thut nearly 1,-
000,000 women work following the old
home recipes and supply tho markets
of the world.
In southeastern Europe tho roso-
gathcrlng season is from May to tho
middle of July, and 760,000 women and
girls are employed In this industry.
In tho south of Franco and near
Paris rosea aro cultivated for the pur
pose of manufacturing tho attar, und
ovor 30,000,000 pounds of roso leave i
are annually gathered.
One of tho largest roso fields if not
the largest, In the world Is situated in
Roumanla and is over 12ft miles lo.u
by 40 In width. When the time of i ,o
Roumanian picking season Ih known,
people come from 400 or 600 miles in
every direction to get to work. Whoki
families migrate from Bosnia. Al
bania, and even from Greece, Rou-
mania and Asia Minor to take part
in gathering the roHes.
For two months any one who can
pick roses can get a Job in tho South
ern Balkans. Picking begins at early
dawn when the dew Is on tho leaves,
and is continued until 10 or 11 a, m.,
or during cloudy weather, all day
long. When the sun Is shining bright
ly labor is discontinued toward noon,
and recommenced at 4 or 5, und then
work Is carried ou as long as tho
workers cun see. Labor Is paid for
by the |>ound.'
Every picker Is equipped with a
basket holding about two bushels, for
rose leaves aro light. After tho baskets
are full, they aro emptied Into sacks
and as soon as possible theso aro
transported to tho houses and there
converted Into essence. Tho factories
where the attar of roses Is made are
mere sheds; sometimes the walls aro
of brick, sometimes of stone, and oc
casionally of planks. On one side
stand the retorts In rows, copper
alembics about three feet high, with
a brick furnace underneath. Each
alembic has a capacity of 110 liters
or quarts, but for a chargo only 75
quarts of water aro used and 22
pounds of rose leaves.
Distillation gees on for an hour,
and then the flask receiving the dis
tilled product is removed and tho
alembic recharged and the process
begun again. Tho attar of roses Is
the oil which fiitats upon tho surface,
and this is subsequently taken off by
cooling and condensation.
Tho violet plants aro generally
grown In fields where there aro or-
angoand lemon trees, and the shade of
these trees Is n benefit to the growth
of tho flowor. The violet farms re
quire constant Irrigation. These plantn
are set In rows so that gathering may
take place without any one stepping
on the flowers.
After the gathering hits taken place
a pomade Is made by bringing tho
flowers Into contact with some very
pure fat, the latter being a suitable
mixture of lard and suet, and careful
ly purified. Tha pomades aro then
melted, put Into iin cans ami shipped
to all jiarts of the world. Tho manu
facturing perfumer removes tne po
made from the tins, “washing” tho
pomade with deodorized alcohol, which
takes away from the greaso the odori
ferous substances of the flowers. This
’•washing’’ Is the basis of all fine per
fumes, and to it are added tho vari
ous oils and substances that give to
it Its great commercial value.
Tho standard scent-plants are aa
follows: Rose, rose geranium, rose
mary, citron, lavender, orris or irla
root, bitter alrnond. thyme, violet, cas-
sle or opopnax, tuberose, anise, cara
way, fennel, dill and coriander.
Jasmine culture is one of the most
expensive known, but us its perfume
Is said to be one that cannot be adul
terated or imitatedi^t brings a high
price, on account of Its general purity.
It Is grown In tho vicinity of Grasse.
France, and also in India, where lta
very delicate perfume is highly prized
and esteemed.
