Oa Thursday she secluded herself from the rest of the household. Lite in the evening it was discovered that she bad taken strychnine with suicidal latent. Physicians were called in. but their efforts proved unavailing. Death ensued at one o'clock this morning. She left a note addressed to her father. which was as follows: "Please let me have a funeral at the Methodist church, as 1 am a member and was once a christian. God for sive. This is terrible.

And at tbe close of the speech tbe queen rose, "wUhinge the wolde be more quiett than they were at the last tyuie." A Dying Woman Olaowned br Her at unhand. Leadville Chronicle: 'A sadjetory comes from the Sister a hospital, which, if true, stamps oue of the principals as the basest of men. A couple of days ago a woman died there of pneumonia, wbo gave her name as Mrs. James Crow, and stated that her bus- - band was one of the furnace men at Grant's smelter. Before dying she stated by way of explanation as to wbv she was not with her husband that it li on ficcoiint cf his exces- sive cruelty. Tbey were married in Ireland some years ago, and the fruits of that mar- riage were two children. He sometime ago emigrated to this country, and in due season found his way to'Leadville and;his present po- sition. His wife was very anxious to come to him, and something lite three months ago, m&i.aed La rake and scrape money enough bring herself met. and leavinsr her chil- - tier nrotiSer came on and joined her husband. He was not overly rejoiced to see her, and in a few days disowned her. She went out doinffsvork as a servant girl, and taking sick died as above described. He was notified of bet deafa, but refused to take any action in the matt in simply soy ins that the dead Woman was not his wife. She will be given a christian c jrrjaj by the corinty." .
