Belmont was hovering between life ami death late tonight. After
an operation for nppendicitis was jterfornied this noon, Belmont de
veloped perontonitis and sank so rapidly that it was feared he would
not survive the night. Although they would not say that hope has
been abandoned, his physicians admitted his condition very precar
ious. Belmont's illness dates from Tuesday of this week when his
fainiy physician found him in such a serious condition that consul
tation was speedily called.

i WOMAN FOUND HANGING.
APPLETON, Wis., June 4.-The
lifeless body of Mrs. Minnie Grunert
was found in a sitting position in a
closet at her home last night. A
small cord circling her neck and at
tached to a hat rack had apparently
caused strangulation. District Attor
ney Roiney is of the opinion that she
was murdered. Paul Krause, from
whom Mrs. Grunert was divorced a
few weeks ago, is in jail here await
infi trial on a charge of having fired
lis wife's home. For several weeks
lie had been out on $1500 bail, but last
evening his bondsmen recalled the
bail bond and Krause was replaced in
jail. Two hours after Krause was
again in jail the lifeless body of his
former wife was discovered.
SEATTLE, June 4.-Mrs. Made

ty jail here, charged with the mur
der of her husband, Edward King,
and admitting that she burned his
body, and had never heard of crema
tion as a means of disposing of hu
man remains until a fortnight ago.
She was visiting her daughter, Mrs.
Anna Marie Fisher, of West Seattle,
when a neighbor brought up the sub
ject of cremation.
"Do they really burn bodies in
stead of burying them?" she asked,
and when assured of the fact, eager
ly asked concerning the details of
incineration. f
It was a little more than a weel?
later that she almost completely de
stroyed the body of her husband by
building a funeral pyre alongside her
little cabin in the woods. So thor
ough was her work that an ounce to

and pieces of charred bone that the
officers have been able to find.
John E. Green, justice of the

death of Edward King, say this is the
manner in which the old man met his
death, and they believe that the crime
was premeditated.

Family.
There is a line st retch of woodland
near Fontainbleatr perfect for picnic
ing or for those snddenlly planned ex
cursions that break up the monotony
of home or of hotel. It is an aspect
of that part of France that, with the
halo of romance that history has cast
over the very name of the place
vasny neigntens its value lor an
American of any imagination. And
Fontainbleau is beloved of the French
too; we think of it, cursorily, as the
scene ot Josephines humiliation;
they think of it as a likely place fur
quieting nerves strung taut to the
breaking point by the strain of living
in Paris. And it is of the woods of
Fontainbleau, and they are not far
from the delightful little hotel of that
town, that an American actor and
that American actor's little daughter
and her mother think ever so fondly
through the dreariness of every
American xvinter. Spring does not
suggest to them any of the thousand
and one of Nature's happenings that
poet's sing of and ploughmen work
by; it is only another jump of the
great hand on the face of the clock
of the seasons, towards the time when
father and mother and daughter take
passage to Cherbourg and so to Fon
tainbleau. And it was on one such
excursion that these three chums,
having rambled deep into the recess
es of the woods, came upon an artist
at work upon a canvas. Such a sight
always excites the liveliest curiosity.
Who that was ever there of a sum
mer afternoon has not cracked hi
shins over and over again crawling
about the garden of tthe Musce de
Clugny for a sly peep at the drawing
boards and perhaps at the pretty
faces of the young girl artists whose
youth and sprightliness so strangely
contrast with the antiquity and som-
breness of the prostrate art relics that
serve them for models? But they are
so easily irritated, these French; and
so the American family would have
avoided the landscapist but that he
saw them and smiled and politeness
seemed the better part of curiosity.
"I may not seem so, but 1 am a com
patriot of yours," said the artist, get
ting up from his camp stool and
speaking excellent English. "I am
Victor Ilecht. I got my training in
the schools of Paris, but I was born
in your country." "I am Otis Skin

ner and my daughter." That was
A DELIGHTFUL SUMMER DISH.
"A chaudfroid of salmon is suitable
for the piece de resistance of a dinner
or luncheon during the warm season",
says Fannie M;rrit Farmer in Wo
man's Home Companion for June.
"Take the contents of one can of
salmon or equal weight in cold boiled
lish, remove skin and bones, and sep
arate in (lakes. If the canned pro
duct is used, first rinse very thorough
ly with hot water. Mix one table
spoonful of flour, one half tablespoon
ful of salt, one tcaspoonful of mustard
and a few grains of cayenne. Add
one egg slightly beaten, one and one
half tahlfopoonful of incited butter,
three t.ihlespoonful ,f vinegar and
three fourths of a cupful of milk.

ture thickens like a soft custard, stir

ful of granulated geletine soaked in
two table spoonfuls of cold water.
Strain the mixture, add to the fish,
and turn into individual molds or a
brick mold. Chill thoroughly, and
remove from the mold or molds to a
serving dish. If I mold the mixture
for individual service 1 usually sur

sauce and garnish each with a slice
of cucumber. If I have a large mold

The normal mind acts under law.

their best unless they are marshaled
by system. They respond cordially
to order, but they rebel against slip

They must have a leader, a general
who enforces order, method.
The majority of people get very
little out of their brains because they
never learn to think systematically.
Their minds are like some country
stores where everything is jumbled
up. there is no order or method
anywhere. They browse, or cogitate,
but they do not foctiss their minds
and conduct their mental processes
with order.
Slovenly mental habits will destroy
the finest minds.
The strength and persistency of our
habitual thought-force measure our
efficiency. The habitual thought-force
in many people is so feeble and spas
modic that they cannot focus their
minds with sufficient vigor to accom
plish much.
We can quickly tell the first time
we meet a person whether his
thought force is strong or weak, for
every sentence he utters will partake
of its quality.
1 he person who has a negative
thought-force betrays his lack of
strength in his every word. His
language is weak, has no gripping
quality.
But the man with a vigorous men
tality takes right hold of you, grips
your mind with every sentence. His
power thrills you, and you feel im
mediately that you are in the pres
ence of a strong personality.
It is positive, the aggressive
thought that creates, that invents.
The negative thought is always weak

It is because he kept his record clean

CONCRETE HOUSES
In a preface to its annual house
building number Cement Age says
that during the past year considerable
progress has been made in the design
and construction of concrete houses.
Twelve months ago there were many
concrete block houses, a few mono
lithic houses of moderate cost, with
here and there a costly mansion of
solid concrete. To-day there are
countless block houses and a vast
number of monolithic houses rang
ing in cost from three or four thous
and dollars to hundreds of thousands.
Architects everywhere are thorough

sibilities and the result in manifest
in recent improvements in design,
which has included the block house
as well as the more costly and pre
tentious monolithic structure. One
noticeable feature is the increasing
use of cement stucco. There is prom
ise that this process will eventually
be applied to cheaper houses with
great success. Another noteworthy
feature is thte discovery of the fact
that in a number of instances con
crete houses which at first admitted
moisture freely have become water
proof with time. This is a more im
portant consideration than would ap
pear at first thought, for dampness
in concrete walls has been, the chief
objection cited by the opponents of
concrete. With the use of a reliable
waterproohng compound to start

"Always remove the face before re

can be easily found in case of fire.
"Never use cosmetics they are in
jurious to the skin.
"Before going out use simply a
little rouge for the cheeks, blue pencil
for the eyes, a good lip rouge, and ,
then brush the face ove lightly with,
any good face power.
