SLAIN BY OLD SWEETHEART
In Presence of Children, Who Begged
for Mother's Life.
New York, November 9.-Mrs.
Dora Stebel, a pretty matron of thir
ty-one, waa ahot down and killed aa
she sat at breakfast with her two
young cmildren to-day by Joseph
Schmolowitz, an old sweetheart of
hers, because she had refused to an
swer his ardent Jove letters, begging
he'r to leave ber husband.
Schmolowitz had waited until Isa
dor Stebel, tho husband of the wo
man, had left the Stebel home In
Williamsburg to go to work in Man
hattan. Then he rushed up the
stairs, burst into the dining room,
and, without a word, drew his re
volver and Hired.
The first, ahot struck Mrs. Stebel
In the arm and she rose, screaming,
from tho table. The children, crying
In nfrlght, grasped their mother's
skirts. Then Schmolowitz fired a se
cond time. The mothei fell dead,
with a bullet through her heart. The
two children, a boy and a girl of nine
and seven, lay at her feet as Schmo
lowitz dashed out of the flat aud
dov.;; the stairs.
The shots had aroused the whole
neighborhood, which ls a thickly pop
ulated one, and by tho time Schmo
lowitz reached the street there was
an excited crowd gathering, and as
he waa seen to run from the bouse
the crowd gave chase. Alexander
Goldstein saw tho chase and, len'ing
from a car quickly, was at the bead
of the pursuers and grappled with
Schmolowitz a block further down
the street.
Detectives took him back to the
Stebel home and made him stand fa
cing the body of his victim and her
two children.
The elder of the chit ren sprang
' at the murderer of his mother and
tried to beat Mm with his littla fists.
In response to questions from the
detectives the boy declared that
' Schmolowitz was the man who had
killed his mother, and this was cor
roborated h,y lils little sister Eather.

INTERNATIONAL. WAR ON RATS.
Denmark Proposes that tile World
Join in Exterminating Them.
The Danish government proposes
an international war against rats. It
has approached the diplomatic corps
on the subject, and international rat
congresses and an international anti
rat league may result.
There has been a great deal of agi
tation on the rat plague question
since the discovery that rats are
mainly instrumental in spreading the
bubonic plague. Lately hygienists
have held them responsible for propa
gating other diseases, and Anally
economists have taken to figuring up
what their cost in damages to the
countries of Christendom is.
A Danish statistician, for instance,
estimates that they destroy 10,000,
000 crowns, or about $2,000,000
worth of property annually, in evon
so small a country as Denmark. Ano
ther authority ventures the opinion
that their yearly cost to the world,
independent of disease, is at least
$100.000,000.
Local efforts have often been made
to suppress the plague, but, as In tho
case of the mosquito, partial mea
sures are ineffectual. The rats mi
grate to a greater or less dogree, both
by sea and land, and whenever they
come they multiply with amazing ra
pidity. lt is stated that one pair will
produce as many as 800 rats in their
lives, at the rate of 50 or so a year.
The plan now outlined is to arouse
universal interest In the warfare by
the proposed international congress.
All the nations taking part officially
would be expected to Institute active
measures through their quarantine
and health ofHcialB.
Property owners are td be urged or
even compelled under penalty to ex
terminate rats on their premises, anil
municipalities aro to hunt them in
sewers and along the water front. A
bounty, lt is suggested, may be offer
ed for slaughter in the rural districts.
Further to check their importation
from one country into another some
system of quarantine for ships, per
haps with penalties for rat infected
ones, is proposed, the port authori
ties In large harbors supplying fumi
gation apparatus to drive them out of
the recesses of the ship in which they
find shelter.
Denmark is said to be very much
in earnest In tho crusade, and with
out walting for the congress, and- by
way of object lesson for lt, she will
begin at once to adopt all the known
means of extermination In her own
cities.

Dear Slr: We should like to print '
your opinion of this.guaranteo in this
paper, where all your neighbors will
see lt:
We'll furnish the paint to paint
half the house of any fair man on
[these terms: He shall paint the other
half with whatever other paint he
likes; same painter (any fair man)
same way (the way of all fair paint
ers, to make a good job). If our
half doesn't take less gallons of paint
by one-tenth to seven-tenths, we'll
give him the paint. If our half does
not take less labor by one-tenth to
seven-tenths, we'll give him the
paint. If our half Isn't sounder three
years hence, we'll give him the paint.
If our half isn't sounder six yean*
hence, we'll give him the paint. Any
color.
We say one-tenth, because there
are two or three paints with about
that difference; we say seven-there
are dozens of paints with about that
difference-we say one to seven, be
cause there's a hundred that waste
one-third of the money paid for both
paint and labor.
Is there a paint we haven't cov
ered? Yours truly,

A Desperate Case.
A sickly lady who was visiting a
Minnesota health resort on the ad
vice of her physician, was seated at
the table next to a ruddy-faced, ro
bust-looking young man, says Every

I "Have you improved much since
you came here?" the lady asked.
"Wonderfully, ma'am," replied
the young man.
"And were you In very bad health
when you came?" she persisted.
"Bad health? Why, ma'am, when
I first came here I was probably the
weakest person you ever saw. I had
practically no uso of my limbs nor
the use of a single faculty."
"Dear, dear! And you lived?"
"I certainly did, ma'am, although
you really have no idea of how bad I
was when I first arrived. I was ab
solutely dependent upon othors for
everything, being entirely without
powor tc help myself. But I com
m*need to gain Immediately upon my
arrival, and haven't experienced a
[serious setback since."
"Wonderful, wonderful!" murmur
ed the lady. "But do you think that
your lungs wore really affected?"
"Well, I suppose you'd call them
sound, but they were possessed of so
little vitality that If it hadn't been
for the most careful nursing they'd
probably have ceased their functions
entirely." .
"I trust you found kind friends
hore, sir?"
"Indeed I did, ma'am. lt ls to
them and to tho pure air of Minneso

family were with me, but unfortu
nately, my mother was prostrated
with a severe Illness during the time

"How sad! Surely, sir, you must

I when you arrived here?"
"Yes, ma'am. They tell me that I
only weighed nine pounds at tho
time of my birth here."

WAS DISAPPOINTMENT CAUSE ?
Misunderstanding Fiance? Said to
Have Caused Kersey to Take Life.
. (Atlanta Journal, 13th.)
A misunderstanding with his fian
cee, Miss Frances Tlmmerman, of
Tampa, Fla., is said to have been the
cause for the solf-destruction of Wil
liam K. Kersey, of the Kersey Lum
ber Company, of Atlanta, which oc
curred at xampa, according to dis
patches received by the Journal from
that city.
Kersey was found in a hotel in the
city of 'lampa Monday, with an emp
ty morphine bottle by his side. On
his breast was a picture of his fiancee
and himself, while pinned nearhy was
the message:
"In life we loved each other,
and in death only are we to
part."
There were also sealed letters left
for his business partner, I. D. Camp
bell, 69 Neal street, Atlanta; his fa
ther, J. Wi Kersey, Dillon, S. C., and
Miss Frances TImmerman, a 17-year
old girl of Tampa, Fla.
While none of the letters have been
opened, lt is understood that the
cause of the young man's death was
a misunderstanding with Miss Tim
merman. The young girl is almost
prostrated by tho shock, having faint
ed when Bhe was notified of Kersey's
death.
Kersey evidently planned to make
his death certain, as the physicians
found that he had taken 25 grains of
morphine. Although only semi-con
scious, the young man fought bitterly
against the physicians when they at
tempted to save his life.
Kersey was a young man of the
best habits and unimpeachable char
acter. His relatives at Dillon, S. C.,
have been notified, and funeral ar
rangements will be announced later.

SENATORIAL CHATTER.
O. U. Martin Announces His Inten
tions-Governor Ansel Still Quiet.
Columbia, Nov. 13-The announce
ment by Superintendent O. B. Martin
of his candidacy for the Senate was
the talk of the State House to-day.
Mr. Martin ls pcsonally very popular
with the om"inl8 In the Capitol,
where his genia? manners and warm
nearie j methods help to dispel some
of the architectural and professional
gloom of thc big stone house, and he
will be missed when he vacates his
j present office, whether it be to cheer
the National Capitol with his renii
nant of red hair and his accumula
tion of anecdotes, or to ruminate on
his farm in lower Richland. Being
somewhat of a philosopher as well aa
a lover of fun and of fighting, Mr.
Martin is prepared to got plenty of
satisfaction out of his campaign for
the Senate, no matter who may bo in
tho race with him.
Governor Ansel was in his office
this morning attend!*1 * to his usual
duties before leaving chis afternoon
for Augusta, and so far as appear
ances went he was not giving a
thought to the Senate or to any of
the candidates therefor. He had no
thing to give out for publication to
day.
There has been a very strong im
pression in the Capitol and in politi
cal circles generally that Mr. Ansel
would enter the race for tho seat
held now by Senator Latlmer, but so
far as any utterance of the Governor
himself is concerned there ls no rea
son to predict that he will do so.
