EATH CRY IS DESCRIBED VOMAN WITNESS STATES IT .WAS ONE OF DEADLY FEAR, MINGLED WITH AGONY AND FRANTIC APPEAL FOR HELP. Providence, R. I., May 18. That laura Regester met. talked and talked with someone in the Jewish cemetery for an hour before she was strangled to death, seems to be made apparent today by the testimony of two women who heard her agonizing death cry. They fix the time of the shriek at 11; 20 p. m., or more than an bour after the murdered girl had left LIGHT BOOZE Do You Drink it? A minister's wife had quite a tussle with coffee and her experience is interesting. She says: "During the two years of my training as a nurse, while on night duty, 1 became addicted to coffee drinking. Between midnight and four in the morning, when the patients were asleep, there was little to do except make the rounds, and It waa quite natural that I should want a good, hot cup of coffee about (hat time. It stimulated me and I could keep awake better. "After three or four years of coffee drinking I became a nervous wreck end thought tnat i simply could not Jive without my coffee. All this thne 1 was subject to frequent : bilious attacks, sometimes so severe as to keep sne In bed for several days. ?! After being 1 married. Husband t) egged me to leave off coffee for he feared that !t had already hart me almost beyond repair, so I resolved to make an effort to release myself from the hurtful habit ' "I began taking Poetunt and for a Tew ? days felt tins languid, tired feel ing from the lack of, the stimulant, but I liked the taste of Postum, and that answered for the breakfast beverage all right. "Finally I began to feel clearer beaded and had steadier nerves. After a year's use of Postum I now feel rjks a new woman have not had any tlUoos attacks since I left oft coffee." TWe a Reason.

Main Gt. 'J the trolley car from the dressmakers where she had tried on her wedding gown. The "third man who loved Laura Regester" and whom she must have met often in secret, the police are now fully convinced, was the slayer. At the time the girl divorced Ernest Allen, he blamed some man whose name he did not know for their differences. Efforts are now being made to learn this man's identity. The divorce was granted five years ago. Cry of Deadly Fear. The most vivid description of the young woman's despairing cry when she felt herself in the clutch of the strangler was given by Mrs. Alexander Gray, 46 Jordan street, which Is situated but 150 yards from the place where the body was found. "The cry I heard on the night that poor Laura was killed." Mrs. Gray told the police, "was one of deadly fear, mingled with agony and a frantic appeal for help. "It was such a piercing shriek that the blood seemed to freeze in my veins, and for a long time afterwards I felt 111 and frightened." It was reported today that Clarence Chase, of Auburn, who had paid court to Miss Regester had been found in Massachusetts and had expressed his intention to return here and talk with the inspectors. One of the inspectors said Chase's story could not now be of much use to the police. BIG CHICAGO FIRE Big Mercantile Structure Was Completely Destroyed Today. ESTIMATED LOSS $250,000 Chicago, May 18.

SL017 RECORD WAS MADE BY CQUnCIL City Dads Last Evening Made The Snail Look Like a Race Horse.

A FIRE LIMIT EXTENSION NORTH END PROPERTY OWNERS "WANT IMPROVED PROTECTION OTHER MATTER8 OF INTEREST AT THE SESSION. Quibbling over this and quibbling over that caused the council meeting last evening to be one of the longest on record. Although ti dreadful to suggest it, poesibly the delay was caused by the desire to impress a large lobby with the carefulness with which matters are considered, whether of great or of small importance. Late in getting started, the council dribbled along for moro than' an hour on a few routine items V" ' - A petition, signed by the J. M Hutton company, Westcott Carriage company, George W. Davis. A. G. Luken, D. L. Jones and John Lindstrom. was presented by Councilman Williams, asking the extension of the fire limits from North Tenth to North, Twelfth street, and from North D street to the Pennsylvania railroad ; tracks. The matter was referred to the board. Disallow Karns Claim. After a warm argument as to whether council should allow the claim of O. K. Karns, a recent smallpox patient, who, with his family, was quarantined for several weeks, for groceries amounting approximately to $:i1, council finally refused to allow the bill. Mr. Karns presented his own case and Dr. Bond spoke for the city, as did also Mr. Von' Pein, of the committee Investigating the case Mr. Von Pein stated that it was a precedent which council did not like to set. Lee B. Nusbaum was unanimously electel to succeed himself as school trustee. His, present sterm expires June 1 , but his ; appointment is for three years.- , Mr. Nusbaum has served for a number of years on the board in a very acceptable manner. A bill of $3.70 was presented to council by councilman Williams for William Decker, who alleged that his fence at 21 South Second street, was damaged to this extent Sunday morning, April 18, by hose wagon No. 2. answering a call t6 a fire on South Third street. The claim was not allowed. Complain About Gutters. Complaint as to the bad condition of the gutter on North Tenth street, between I and iJ streets,, referred to by Councilman Ogborn, was turned over to the board of works. On motion of Mr. Von Pein, council authorized the committee on streets and alleys to draft an ordinance au thorizing the improvement of v South Eleventh street below C street Ce ment sidewalks curbs and gutters are wanted by some, but the present walks and gutters are considered good enough by the majority of the property owners. John Bartel for the remonstrators and William Duning for the peti tioners addressed council. Council was asked to visit the street and see whether they believed the improvement should be made, In connection with this. Councilman Von Pien raised a "holler" over the action of the board. He claimed that in the past it had been' the habit of the board to take no further action in an Improvement after it had been successfully recommended against, but that in this instance they asked council to decide the question. He hinted that politics might be the cause of the board's action. North A Street Improvement. An ordinance authorizing the improvement of North A street between Fifth and Seventh streets, by the construction of cement sidewalks, curbs and. gutters was read, but allowed to take its regular course. Councilman Bartel referred to the bad condition' of the crossing plate at Tenth and .South A,., streets. The board replied that this style of crossing would be eventually discontinued, or just as soon as the contemplated construction of - cement walks, curbs and gutters on this street was made. Residents of South Seventh street want to know whether this street is to be macadamized and whether a sewer is to be laid this summer or not. The board answered that a resolution had been ., prepared to such effect. Councilman Brown referred to the bad condition of the drain at Seventh and South C street, making the street dangerous. Repairs are needed on the water fountain located at Ridge and Richmond avenue, according to Councilman Burdsall. People residing on North H and G streets want hydrant water but are unable to get it. as there are not enough signers to a petition. It was asked whether the wells now in use could be condemned by the city health officer.

Men can get fine suits made for $15, $18 or $20. when the same goods a few years ago cost almost twice as much.

He says he does not wish, to take on any more speaking engagements than is necessary, and that he is not going to :. make . any . political speeches if he can keep from it.

That is Tammany's business. The letter declining the invitation was sent yesterday to New York, and was in answer to an invitation received Saturday - from Richard Croker, Chertee F.

"The White Hat." Wayne Musical Company. No prettier musical comedy is touring the country today than the Wayne company's new musical show - that manager Swisher has booked at the Gennett on the evening of May ' SO. The play has a wealth of scenery and costumes that is seldom seen outside of New York City and requires an able corps of carpenter property men, electricians and machinists to properly handle and care for it. The company is the same that made, the instantaneous hit on the first production, and the chorus is large and well drilled. Altogether it is fair to predict that no cleverer attraction will be seen here this season. Special matinee Saturday. v The New Phillips. Beauty, grace.

Miss Davis Is a charming young lady and has a finely trained voice, her singing of "My Rosary," "Moonlight Serenade" and "Melinda," exemplifying a true and sincere spirit that makes a strong appeal to all classes. The act is not what is commonly called "high class." It is more than that it surpasses the fondest dreams of the most successful vaudeville actor and makes a hit from turret to foundation stone. Miss Davis is assisted by a beautiful young lady, who puts on some of the finest Egyptian dances and dances incident to Bible, times, and a young man who takes the part of the Devil in the "Rosary" scene and the gondalier in the "Serenade." Hamlin and Noyes get away with an amusing little act, the scene being based in New York and the story being woven around a visit of an Indiana Deacon and his sister paying a visit to New York, in all taking the house by a cloud burst. Westerman has a line of club juggling and major domo acts that are first class. Mr. Westerman is one of the handiest actors ever appearing here. At the Arcade.
