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 passed over by themselves until 1909 the country must have a definite Iso of revision at n special be called at once after March The revlston&ls Insist that ,the peo ple have lost faith In promises made so often, and that If some action Is not taken the Democrats wll be successful In the coming elections. inlte prom- ses.<vlon to h 4, 1907.

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. L HELPING THE POT BOIL. Captain John Chrittianaon, of tho Salvation Army, ringing hia ball and inviting contributiona to the dinnor for tho city** poor. 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. $ 1 ),000,000 Worth of Property Taken By Fraud.

While waiting on the platform at the Terminal station, Mr. Hardwick spoke of the congested conditions now exist ing on all prosperous Southern roads, 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 where Improvements can be made. The road Is being double tracked ns fast as labor can do It.

One of them was slugged at one time and disappeared.
