SHE TOOK A HEADER.

WOMAN FALLS FROM A FOURSTORY WINDOW.Though Almost Dying* Rosebery Refuses to Retire from Power—Chicago Brokers Forced to Sus pend - Income Tax Invalid—Wheat Market Strong. She Jarred Her Teeth. Mrs. John- Henry, who is big and stout and. Who lives on the fourth floor of No. 205 Adams street, Brooklyn, was enjoying a rest after her household labors Monday, and while looking out of a window fell asleep. A'few moments later something dropped on the roof of a news stand underneath the window, startling the new sman out of his dreams and causing a knot of playing children to scatter in affright. That something was Mrs. Henry. She rolled off the news stand roof to the sidewalk, -rose to her feet, calmly brushedL off her clothes, walked up the stoop, and disappeared- through the doorway. The startled vender of newspapers reported the remarkable occurrence to the police sergeant. An uftieer found Mrs. Henry pitting on the side of a bed calmly engaged in combing her hair. “Where is the woman who fell from the window a few minutes ago?” inquired the policeman. “That's me.” was the laconic rejoinder. "What of it?” “Ain’t you hurt in any way?” “O. I jarred my teeth a little, but I don't think any of them are loosened,” said Mrs. Henry. “I ain’t hurt any, but I'm afraid I may have a headache to-night.” He Sticks to Power. London dispatch: The House of Commons was greatly agitated Monday night -by renew.eiLrejjurts .of the impending. resigaation of the prime minister, Lord Rosebery. The. story went that despite the 7 .official report he has returned from his "sea trip worse in health than before, and that it is probable that his doctor may give imperative orders that ho immediately abandon the attempt to continue the leadership. At the same time the information comes from another well-posted political source that Lord Rosebery’s ailment is practically incurable. His insomnia was long antecedent to the influenza attack, its real cause being chronic dyspepsia, which has resisted ail medical treatment. In fact, Lord Rosebery is threatened with incipient loss of power in the digestive organs. Up to the present moment, nevertheless, lie is resolved to continue at the head of affairs until a general eleetion, though in the opinion of liis medical advisers every week lie passes as prime minister takes a year off his life.
