Brooding Over Prospect off Heath Caused She Fleet Tried to Force lite Cblld»e« to Drink Carbolic Acid—Fallin* 1» This Sbe Shot Tbea-Oee Child ia the Hospital Suflerlnsr From Car bolic Add Burns - Two of tbe Children Were Killed Instantly. Kew York. Oct. 7.-Mrs. Lily Smith of * inn wood, borough of Manhattan, vvhile insane yesterday, shot her two children, Ethel, aged twelve, and Theodore, nged eight years, and then committed suicide by shooting herself. Another child lies in Fordham hospi tal at the point of death as the result of carbolic acid burns. Before shoot ing the children Mrs. Smith, with the cunning of a maniac, tried to force them to drink carbolic acid. Long brooding over the prospects ot death is said to have been the cause of the woman’s insanity. Mrs. Smith was the wife of Walter Smith, who has been connected with the grocery house of Austin. Nicholson & Kip for twenty-one years. Mrs. Smith drove her husband to the station yesterday morning and appeared to be happy and care free. She promised to meet him on his re turn from the city at night. It is believed she went out in the morning after her return from the drive to the train and bought the pistol. When and where she bought the carbolic acid Is a mystery. In the afternoon Mrs. Smith instructed her coachman, Curtis Moore, to hitch up the team and take his wife, also a servant for the Smith’s, for a ride on the Speed way. The Moores returned shortly before 4 o’clock in the afternoon and they were met by Mrs. at the door. The woman was only partly clothed, but she did not seem to be agitated. ••Don’t come in yet,” she said, with a smile. ‘ Take a long ride. There is plenty of time in the afternoon.” The Moores again went away, but they did not stay long. They returned at 4:40 o'clock and discovered the tragedy that had been enacted in their absence. Mabel, three years ot age, was killed first in the front room of the second floor of the house. The mother had induced the baby to drink carbolic acid. Then the mother got the revolver and'flred three shots and the chest of the girl was literally torn to pieces. It was about this time that Ethel, the eldest daughter, returned from school. She tasted the carbolic acid, but rejected it. Again the pistol came into play. The mother shot twice at Ethel, but only one took ef fect. Then the little boy returned from school, entering by the back door. The mother met him and shot him, killing him instantly. After satisfying herself he was dead she returned upstairs. Walking into the hall, she shot herseif in the right breast. The bullet tore through her body, killing her instantly. Mr. and Mrs. Moore summoned Policeman Schiffert. Ethel will probably re cover. Smashes Many Records. Brockton, Maw., Oct. 7. Every record from two miles to the hour was broken lust night by Harry Elkes at the Shoe City Oval in a race with Arthur Ross. He covered the distance of thirty-nine miles, 1.045 wards, beat ing the record of Chase, made two weeks ago, at the Paris exposition of thirty-eight miles, 464 yards. The new record is phenomenal from the fact that Elkes rode with the ordinary pace without wind shields, while Chase had all these protections. Robbed off Jewels and Cash.

A well-meaning visitor, Inspecting the childrens’ ward in a hospital on a day which also happened to be the visiting day for the patients’ friends, went over to a cot where a mother was anxiously bending over her child, a mite of two years with a broken leg. •’Well,” said the visitor, “the poor lit tle thing looks very comfortable, but I shouldn’t like a child of mine to come here.” The sister in charge, who was justly proud of her pretty w'ard and the ap pearance of her little patients, felt more than a trifle hurt, and the visitor, seeing she had made a mistake, en deavored to correct It. “Not," she added, “but that I am sure they are much better looked after than they would be at home!” The glare in the eyes of the child's mother, when she heard that remark, was semething to be remembered. “Be as wise as a serpent!" w’e sug gested. The distraught wife wept afresh. “If you but knew,” she said, “how extremely sensitive my husband is to any Impression, even remotely, sug gestive of serpents!” Plainly here was a household where in peace could be restored only by the exercise of the utmost tact. —Detroit Journal.
