RECOVER HER Mrs. Lillian Mason-Pullman-Breslin Creates a Seen in Mew York Court. WAS WILDLY HYSTERICAL. YOUNGSTER WAS COMMITTED TO JUVENILE ASYLUM AND JUDGE REFUSES TO RESCIND THE ACT10N TAKEN. Publishers' Fress.l New York, Dec. 21. Mrs. Lillian Mason-Pullman-Breslin, who claims to "be the widow of the late George 11. Pullman, nephew of the Palace Car magnate, created a scene in the Children's Court today over the commitment of her son Edinond to the New York Juvenile Asylum. Mrs. Broslin did not appear on Sat - tirday. Agent King, of the children's feociety, reported to the court that she could not be found. 't Mrs. Breslin this afternoon rushed through the doorway leading from Eleventh street, without hat or umbrella, to protect her from the pouring rain, and demanded that she be permitted to speak to the Judge at once. The court officers quieted Mrs. Breslin and escorted her to a seat set opart for the woman. She remained quiet for a few , minutes. Then she arose and tried to open the gate in the fence dividing the spectators from the court room proper, and again demanding in loud tones to "speak to the judge." Again she was led back to the Beat, where she remained quietly until a court officer asked if any one wished to see the judge. Mrs. Breslin was the first to reach the gate, but two court officers restrained her from passing through it, while one of the clerks explained to Justice Olmstead what the woman wanted. "I demand to see the Judge," shouted Mrs. Breslin. "The summons served on me about my boy was not given to me until five hours after the boy was committed." Mrs. Breslin became hysterical and began struggling with the court offi cers. Justice Olmstead would not permit her to approach the bench. "Your boy was committed to the New York juvenile asylum after proper investigation," he said, "and it is not within my power to remove him , from the institution. You should proceed in the usual legal way." Mrs. Breslin said her counsel was Ex-Assistant Eistrict Attorney Charles E. Lebarbier. Mrs. Breslin declared that she J'.nd been In the house at No. 415 West 31st street, that a sumons could have been easily served upon her. Agent King of the society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children, told Justice Olmstead Saturday afternoon that he was unable to find her at that address. l.dmond, her son. was committed to the asylum Saturday. NEW COMMERCIAL STUDIO. Firm of Bundy and Campbell to Have Quarters on South Ninth Near A Street. Owing to their rapidly increasing, nnd present large business in commercial photograph', the firm of Bundy iind Campbell have decided to open a commercial studio on South Ninth street. The new home will be known .is the "Richmond Commercial Studio" and will be located alongside the factory of the Richmond Casket Co., sit the corner of South and A streets: Tho firm is rapidly forging to the front as commercial photographers jind are doing a large outside as well its a substantial Richmond business along this line. The portrait studio will remain in Its present quarters on Main street. Women as Weil as Men Are Made Miserable by Kidney and Bladder Trouble. Kidney trouble preys upon the mind, tiiscourages and lessens ambition; beauty, vigor ana cheerfulness soon disappear when the kidnevsare out of order or diseased. Kidney trouble has become so prevalent that it is not uncommon for a child to be born afflicted with weak kidneys. If the child urinates too often, if the urine scalds the flesh, or if, when the child reaches an age when it should be able to control the passage, it is yet afflicted with bed-wet-tin sr, depend upon it, the cause of the difficulty is kidney trouble, and the first step should be towarus me treatment or these important organs. This unpleasant trouble is due to a diseased condition of the kidneys and bladder and not to a habit as most people suppose. Women as well as men are made miserable with "kidney and Madder trouble, and both need the sai;:e jrreat remedy. The mild and the immediate effect of .Swamo-Root is soon realized. It is sold by druggists, m fiftycent and one-dollar sie bottles. You may have a sample bottle bv mail free, also a Eom cf Swamp-Root, pamphlet telling all about Swamp-Root, including many of the thousands of testimonial letters received from sufferers cured. In writing Dr. Kilmer & Co., IJinsjhatnton, N. Y. be sure and mention thispaper. Don't make any mistake, kbut remember the name, Swamp-Root, Kr.

JANUABIES III THE PAST

WEATHER RECORD GIVEN. Interesting Data for Those Persons Who Enjoy Figuring on the Con ditions in Advance .Tns Coldest January. Richmond people who take interest in efforts to get a "line" on the weather, will find food for thought and material for prognosticating the conditions that will prevail for the next thirty-one days, by persuing the records of the Indiana weather bureau for the past thirty-five years. 'The mean or normal temperature was 28; the warmest month was in 1SS0, with an average of 41, and the coldest was in 1893, with an average of 18. The highest January temperature during the thirty-five years was 70, January 11, 1890, and January 30, 1906. The lowe.1t temperature wfts 25 degrees below zero, January 5, 1SS4. The average precipitation for the month was 2.81 inche3. The average number of days with .01 of an Inch or more of nreeinitation was 13. The j test monthy precipitation w13 10.2 Inches, in 1890, and the least monthly precipitation was .76 inches, in 1902. The greatest amount of pre - cfpitation recorded in any twenty-four consecutive hours was 4.41 inches, January 1890.

IT IS CLAIMED THAT BLOCK SIGNAL SYSTEM IS BEING OPERATED iN A MOST CARELESS MANNER. Publishers' Washington. Dec. Press, j 31. The Inter- ' state Commercial Commission, is con

WRECK

sidering the question whether, under j upon the duties of the office of couna recent congressional resolution . di-; ty assessor with the best of wishes

recting an investigation on the operation of the block signal system of the country, it has not authority to make a rigid investigation into 'the shocking wreck on the Baltimore and Ohio at the edge of the city limits last night. It may decide to have an expert present at the coroner's inquest which is to be held Wednesday. Feeling Is . running high In official circles and the subject is one that may be , brought up for discussion in congress Thursday. Astounding statements made by the experts of the Commission today are to the effect that the people of the country have been misled, that the block signal systems are adding to the safety of travel. It is charged that the rules governing the system are flagrantly violated in order that the railroads may do more business at the expense of safety; that over worked and under paid men are placed at the towers to signal trains; and that excessively long hours and discomforts in the method of living combine to nullify the benefits that are expected to be derived from legislation. A QUARTERLY MEETING FLATTERING REPORT MADE. Sixty One Members Have Been Taken Into First M. E. Church During the Past Year Reception to be Held. The quarterly meeting of the First M.

WIFE MURDERED; HUSBAND INSANE (Continued from Page One. )

Thi3, he said, is missing. The existance of this was doubted by some and the point is being investigated. If true it is a strong point in support of the burglar theory. The room in which the murder was committed is on the second floor of the American house which is the finest in Cambridge. Story Told by Anderson. Before he became ungovernable, An derson told the authorities that he had been awakened about 2 o'clock in the morning by his wife screaming and by the report of a revolver. He said he jumped out of bed in time to see a figure run down the hallway and down the back stairs. He says he fol lowed and saw the figure disappear in the darkness behind the hedge in front of the house. Neighbors who were roused by the calls for help, say they found him on the lawn screaming and calling the name of his wife. He seemed to be hysterical and it was ! with difficulty that they could leapn ! anything from him. They were afraid ! to enter the house and sent word to ! sheriff Edward Swain, who took charge j of the body. 1 No Foot Prints Could be Found. Anderson told those who respended i to his calls that the man he saw ran "across the lawn and he attempted to point out the way the slayer had taken but though thorough search was made, no trace of footprints could be found i notwithstanding the fact that the I ground was soft from recent rain. , Neither could an opening in the hedge I be found. j A broken lock on a kitchen window and faint marks on the outside, as though made by a chissel or "jimmy' were pointed, out by Anderson as proof of the way through which the burglar entered. Neighbors, however, say the lock "had been broken for several days. They further assert that when they arrived this window was closed and the back door open. A close ; search of the room and the premises failed to disclose the revolver with which the murder was committed. MQDJESKA GIVEN A KIND FAREWELL Large Audience Sees Famous Actress in Shakespeare's "Macbeth." . WAS GIVEN TWO B0QUETS. COMPANY, SCENERY, COSTUMES, AND ALL COMBINED TO MAKE VISIT A MOST PLEASING ONE K. OF C. THERE. A fitting testimonial was given to Madame Helena Modjeska at her farewell appearance here in "Macbeth" at the Gennett last night. An unusually large audience was present and the play was received with the greatest of enthusiasm. Modjeska was especially effective in her portrayal of Lady Macbeth. The famous actress, will no doubt carry fond memories of her visit here for two of the most beautiful flloral offerings ever given to an actress at the Gennett were presented to her. One was a large bouquet of Richmond roses with their natural length of stem, while the other bouquet fully as large was of delicate pink roses. Many of the members of the Knights of Columbus with their wives and lady friends attended, occupying j seats on the lower floor. This was done as a tribute to Modjeska in return for her favors at the last National convention of the order at x Los Angeles. The Palladium cannot give a long criticism of the play. Suffice to say it equalled if not excelled Ben Greet's production of the same tragedy here last sason. company, scenery, cos tumes and all combined to make Mojeska's farewell a most favorable one, Artificial gas, the 20th Century fuel 10-tI THE WRITERS.

May you greet it with glad hearts and Christ-like , ambition. I wish for such prosperity as will bring you the richest of grace and wealth and comfort. May no misfortune overtake you, but should you find yourself bowed down beneath it, do not forget the great burden bearer. May the peace and contentment which comes from just dealings and unselfish service be yours. I greatly appreciate your earnest cooperation in all the work of this conference year.' No work reaps such rich rewards in personal satisfaction and in social betterment. I have done the work of building up Christ's kingdom. The church finances have improved. I commend your liberality. Many have already subscribed gererously to the benevolences of the church, for the various departments have prospered, especially the Sunday School. There has been an encouraging increase in the membership of the church, 102 accessions in nine months of the conference year. The best of all is that a half a hundred individuals ranging in years from early youth to past three score and ten have given their hearts to the Lord. May this be the beginning of a yet mightier work along the lines of church activity. The pastor and wife will tender a reception to all the members upon New Year's day and you are hereby Invited to be present if possible from two to five o'clock. Yours in His name, RAYMOND J. WADE.

Next Monday night the City Council will be given its first opportunity to discuss the market house matter. Mayor Schillinger said yesterday that he would present the proposition at this meeting and it is likely that he will also suggest a means by which the proposed changes may be brought about without crippling the city's finances.
