Berlin, Sepf I4 A striking story
of love and self sacrifice comes
from Russia, Sergei Palkin, a well
known poet, had for years corres
ponded with an unknown g:rl. who
had first written to him to express
her admiration for one of his poems
This correspondence continued, and
so sympathetic and intelligent
were the eirl's letters that in course
of time, Pelkin felt that she and
noDe other must be his wife.
He had never seen her, and t,he
distance oetween tt. retersDurg,
where he lived, and Krasnoiarsk
was great. Last month Palkin
paid a visit to the home of hie be
loved. Ha set out lull j)Lhope .and
expectancy, and reaching the house
of his unknown bride-elect, was told
that she had died about an hour
before.
Filled with anguish he made hia
way to the death chamber, where,
instead of a blooming girl, he found
a corpse of diminutive cripple,
hunchback and malformed. Her
face, however, still wort a strange
loveliness, and her beautiful hair
was an ornament of which any
woman might have been proud,
A letter was waiting for him. He
opened it. It was from his bride.
"Dearest Sergei" it began, "for

You thought I was a young and
beautiful girl; and all might have
been well had you not declared
jour love for mo in one of your
dear letters. Had you seen me as
1 am, without loving me, neither
of us, perhaps would have minded;
but when you told me that you
loved me, I bad neither the cour
age or the heart to tell you of the
misshapen creature to whom you
were writing. To know tnat l was

to me this glorious year. I die
happy, knowing that for many
months, at least, I was your chos

. Martin was devoted to the former
Florodora girl during her term of
imprisonment at the Tombs.
He called at the prison often and
was the only man except her fath
er and lawyers who got to see her.
He sent food regularly among
other things. Nan Patterson shar

a man who wanted to marry her as
soon as she was free. This man
was Martin.
U After her failure on the stage last
spring, Nan Patterson came back
to New York where she was once
more a Broadway butterfly. She
recently disappeared after a scand

heard of until the news of today.
Martin was in California with

The two Mason Jar caps has been examined. Upon examination the metal of the
new Mason cap was found to be pure zinc. The small pin holes in the old Mason cap
were undoubtedly caused by the action of vegetable acids. As a result the fruit in the
jar must have been greatly contaminated with poisonous zinc compounds.
1 regard the use of jars with zinc caps as very Unsanitary and even dangerous.
. Yours very truly,

Portland, Sept. 15. The third
trial of Congressman Williamson
and bis codefendants in the federal
court is nearing a close. District
A toi-ney Heney informed the court
this morning that the prosecution
wouLd conclude its case today.
Counsel for the defense expect that
not more than a day will be requir
ed for the presentation of their evi
dence so that arguments to the jury
will probably begin on Monday.
In important respects the case
against the defendants has been
materially strengthened since the
former triale. Some entirely new
evidence has been adduced and sev
eral of the witnesses have testified
much more fully than before. Two
of them have acknowledged that
on the former trials they colored
their testimony in favor of the defendants.
How far the defense will be able
to offset the gains made by the
prosecution remains to be seen. It
is expected that all three of the
defendants will take the stand but
what additional testimony will be
ottered is not known.
district of S mora, Mexico, it is fear
ed may prove the last that will ev
er be found of four Arizonane, T.
Grindell, Olin Rolls of Douglas,
David Ingram, of Biebee and
Lieutenant Hoffman, who was an
officer in Roosevelt's Rough Rider
regimen, who passed through No
gales last June, with the intention
of exploring Tiburon island in the
Gulf of California.
The grewsemo find was made by
a Mexican cowboy while hunting
cattle. It is reported that E. P.
Grindell of Tucson was at Hormos
illa a few days ago, seeking - in
formation of the party. . The trag
edy indicated by the horrible rind
is unexplained.
Tiburon island is a large island
inhabited by a savage tribe of In
dians who have resisted all attempts
on the part of the Mexican gov
ernmt to civilize them by repeat
ing to inaccessible mountains.
The natives are cannibals and a
few years ago killed and ate the
captain and crew of the cnrio
schoonea "The World." of Santa
Diego, for which many of them
were deported by the Mexican gov
ernment. It is feared that Grindell and as
sociates may have shared the same
fate, as the natives often ravage
the mainland.

Dean, wearing men's clothing, en
tered Good Friends Hall, at Gold
field, dressed like the male habit
nes of the place, and joined in the
festivities. The first woman in th
crowd met her fancy and soon tb
two were engaged in dancing. Two
or three times they glided around
the hall, iher Miss Dean gazed m
her partner's lace. The next mon.
ent recognition came and with it
scene never before witnessed in
Goldfield. The daughter had rec
ognized her mother.
For many years Hazel Dean be
lieved that her mother was dead
and buried near her old home in
Mintreal, Canada. Each year she
sent flowers to bedeck the grave.
Explanations followed the recog
nition. Mrs. Dean in her new life,
had buried the memories of friends,
even of her daughter.
"Come with me, mother," the
daughter asked last night.
"No, child, I cannot," Mrs. Dean,
replied, and Hazel, her head bow
ed in shame, leaned upon the arms
of friends, and was taken from the
hall.

ing cf glasses and the voices of mer
rymakers', tbe light-hearted miners
and painted women had stopped.

hall, Miss Dean had disappeared
