Tallapoosa, Ga., Dec. 22.—With the
light of Ilf& flickering from a bullet
wound which she had inflicted In her
breast, Mrs. B. R. Morrow yesterday
walked from another room in the
house into the kitchen where her* sis
ter, Mrs. G. M. Woodley, whom she
was visiting, was preparing dinner,
and announced that she had killed
herself.
Mrs. Morrow has been demented at
times for some time, and had been
closely watched at her own home, but
yesterday morning she went to visit
her sister In another part of the city,
and while her sister was out in the
kitchen directing the servant prepara
tory to dinner, she discovered a pistol
In one of the bur/.u drawers which
she used.
She was about 60 years of age and
the mother of two children, both of
whom are married.
heated, have resulted. Many members
returned to Washington after having
experienced the elections, convinced
that their districts wanted the tariff re
vision. Not a few of those who held
this Idea were themselves “stand pat
t^rs," but they had come to realize It
was politically dangerous to delay any
longer taking some step toward modi
fication of schedules.
Decision Is Made.
The whole situation, however, was
gone over In detnil and It was decided
that It would be better to let the sub
ject rest until after the next presiden
tial election, rather than to have a
special session called next spring. It
was generally agreed that It would be
out of the question to try revision at
the regular session of the sixtieth
congress.
The president let members of con
gress who talked with him know that
he believes Income tax legislation and
Inheritance tax legislation should be
enacted whenever the Dingley sched
ules were readjusted.

Congressional leaders understood
fully that if the tariff question Is to be

A Cure for Burnt.
Blind chance, which hoe so frequently
given the clew to men of science, re
cently led to the discovery fn the Paris
Charity Hospltnl of a new cure for
burns. This remedy. It Is claimed, will
cause burns to cease from being pain
ful as soon ns It Is applied and will
cause injured flesh to heal with mar
velous rapidity.
Dr. Tullery, one of the surgeons In
attendance at the hospital, was In the
habit of using pier! acid os an anttcep-
tis, and. his hands were, therefore, Im
pregnated with the solution. One day
In lighting a cignrette a portion of the
burning match fell on his hand, but In
stead of feeling It he did not notice the
slightest pain. A short time afterward,
while in the act of sealing a valuable
letter, a j>ortlon of the burning wax
stock to his Anger, and, though It cau
terized the skin, it was no more pain
ful to him than if It had fallen on an
armored glove of steel..
This curious lack of feeling set the
doctor’s wits to work, and he soon ar
rived at the conclusion that the acid
had, to use his own words, acted upon
the tissues and tightened them. He
then began a series of experiments In
treating burns with a saturated so
lution of picric acid. In every case he
treated all pain was Instantly sup
pressed.—Philadelphia Record.

Salvation Army Finds
Ready Response
To Appeal.
Atlanta's heart Is In the right place.
Sometimes the people do not know—
that's all. When they do know, they
are ready to do the right thing.
Friday afternoon Tho Georgian told
little story of suffering, of poverty
and sickness, of a young life brought
Into the world amid squalor and af
fliction. It was not a pretty picture—
but It tugged at the heart strings.
The story was that of a poor woman
In Ashby street, on a sick bed with a
young child—her aged mother 111 and
helpless—her' husband on the chain-
gang. • There was no coal In the
house—no food In the pantry. It was
not a comfortable picture to Intrude
Itself between you and yo\ir bountiful
dinner, to uppear In every wreath of
smoke from your evening cigar. It Is
too close to Christmas to be happy
while others suffer.
The Georgian told the story at 3
o’clock. At 4 there came a telephone
call. A kindly woman wanted to know'
how she could help. Then there were
many other calls, most of them from
women, to The Georgian and to tho
Salvation Army. The name and ad
dress of the family would not be
given, for these people are not willing
seekers of public charity. But all In
quiries were referred to the Salvation
Army. Suturdny morning a letter
came to The Georgian. It contained
simply a dollar bill and the story
from The Georgian—the clipping
needed no letter to explain it.
And now Major Berrlman of the
Salvation Army, announces that the
good people of Atlanta- have solved
the question. The woman will be
taken in at the Home for the Friend
less until she is well enough to work.
The Home broke one of its rules to
do this—but it’s Christmas time. Her
half-sister will care for the aged
mother for a time. There have been
contributions which will provide for
the family until after the holidays, and
the future looks fairly bright In Ash
by street.

While waiting on the platform at the

of the congested conditions now exist

and the criticisms being made by the
press.
“We are doing everything within our
means to better these conditions,” said
Mr. Hardwick, “but the traffic on our
system Is so heavy that It Is almost Im
possible to handle It. We do not think
the press should indulge In harsh ot
unjust criticisms, unless they point out

come so bold that they laugh at in

As a result of the repot, it Is re
