Suspect Foul Play.
Under circumstances so mysterious
that the local detectives and members
of the Fenton police department have
started a searching Investigation, Leon
3. Algeo, a wealthy wholesale produce
dealer of Fenton, was found, almost
dead in a gas filled room in the Ho
tel Winkler, Detroit, early Saturday
morning. He was apparently dead
when found by the proprietor, Charles
SVlnkler, and It was thought that the
unconscious man had blown out the
?as with suicidal intent. Algeo had
irawn $1,300 from a Detroit bank and
tils money was missing when he was
discovered to be in a state of coma.
Nearby the bed was a note book, in
which, under date of August 30, was
the following significant entryr
"Made good strike yesterday."
The police who are assigned to the
;ase are of the opinion that Algeo had
:aken some deadly poison or that it
had been given to him during his
sight-seeing t rips through the city.
Algeo cams to Detroit several days
a".ro. and has been registered at the
Winkler every night, with the excep
tion of two. He seemed prosperous, as
he exhibited considerable money about
the hotel.

soiie to the rear of his light frame
building, shortly after the storm be-
an, and was (standing In the doorway
when a terrific gust of wind leveled
the four buildings, all In a row. It was
not until Woodruff's absence was not
ed that a search wa3 begun. His body
was found crushed beneath heavy
2n.).ss timbers. He evidently had been
instantly killed.
Expresses No Sorrow.
Possessed of a religious mania,
which made him believe that It was
necessary to make a flesh offering In
atonement for his sins, Albert Siem-
melen, aged HO, a Detroit bookkeeper,
threw hla 2-year-old daughter Helen
Into the Detroit river from the Belle
Isle bridge Tuesday evening just at
dusk. Then he gave himself up to
the police, telling his story without a
trace of agitation or l egret, declaring:
"I threw my child from the Belle
Isle bridge. I gave her to God to atone
for my sins. I want to give myself up
to the police."
Stemmelcn was married seven years
igo. There were two children besides
ittle Helen: Owen, aged 5, and Jo
seph, aged 3. So far as known there

trouble and he Idolized his children.

breaking of Stemmelen's mind was
?lven to his office associates Tuesday,
according to Col. William S. Greene,
managing trustee of the W. A. Wesson
estate, in the office of whom Stem
melen was employed.
Stemmelen was very ambitious, and
anxious to get ahead In the world. He
worked Incessantly. He never rested.
From morning till night he slaved his
life away. He never even took the
time to read the papers. This over
work finally unbalanced his mind. For
the past three months he became a
pronounced neurothenlc. It developed
religious mania. The last three weeks
he was badly frightened and excited by
Ireams of murder, violence, of big dis
asters. He would get up at. night trem
bling with excitement and pray to find
rest. Then he has been suffering with
severe headache "drawing head
aches," as he described them, and all
this time a strange feeling of personal
shortcomings took possession of him.
He considered himself a hypocrite. The
culmination came when he threw toe
hlld Into the river.

NATIONAL GUARD.
To Bo Made a Part of the Regular
Army With Pay.
A bill Is to be introduced at the next
session of congress providing for the
placing on half pay while not in ae
live service all of the officers and pri
vates of the state militias. This means
the National Guard will be organized
In the future in such a way as to bo
more closely united to the regular
United States army and under the di
rect supervision of ollicers of the reg
ular army.

Ington, Ky., last week, went over tho
matter thoroughly with Brlg.-Gen.

Taft will prepare tho bill, which has
tho backing of President Roosevelt
and will undoubtedly become a law,
says a dispatch from Lexington, Ky.,
to tho Louisville Courier-Jourral.
Tho present effective force of tho
National Guard is about 300,000 men,
but as the offer of half pay when not
In service will be an attractive In
ducement, no difficulty Is anticipated
in Increasing this force to Goo.000.
This would enable the government In
case of war to place immediately in
the field an army of a, half million sol
diers. The ollicers in direct command
of this reserve would be commissioned
as now by the governors of the states
to which the different organizations
belong, but they will be paid and
equipped by the national government,
and will be drilled and organized un
der the direction of regular army of
ficers to whose orders they will be sub
ject when the national exigencies re
quire.

USEFUL HOME HINTS
SUGGESTIONS THAT HAVE BEEN
FOUND VALUABLE.
Simple Remedy for the Annoying
Chilblain Novel and Effective
Manner of Cleaning Lace
Cure for Cold Feet.
A busy woman, employed during
the day In sewing In other people's
homes, sends the following useful sug
gestions: 1. Some one asked for a remedy
for chilblains. Hero Is a simple cure.
Cut on onion in two, put table salt
on the cut side and rub it upon the af
flicted part. Do this a few times and
the cure will be effected.
3. To clean draperies, I use sawdust
and ammonia. Put tho sawdust Into
a tub and pour In enough household
ammonia to soak it to tho bottom.
Heat the draperies or russ free of
dust, l'ut them Into thu sawdust and,
with a small whisk broom, rub tho
mixture well into the article to be
cleaned. The dirt will disappear at
once. Hang out of doors to dry and
air.
3. To clean lace, get a larso paper
jag and put the laces into it. l'our
.n a quart or more of Indian meal,
and shake the bag up and down not
hard, but steadily for some minutes.
Do this several days, and four or five
times a day. I cleaned a hand-made
bat in that way and it came out as
white as snow.
4. Get lid of water bugs and ants,
weevils and roaches by washing
shelves and floors with borax. I live
in an apartment where there are 2d
families, and I have not had a bug of
any kind for years. I also clean my
carpets every Friday with borax, and
lever find a moth. I sprinkle borax
n my packing boxes when I put away
woolens and feather pillows, using it
liberally, and the moths never touch
them. Turpentine is good for wash
ing woodword and floors in closets
and wardrobes. Moths will not live
in a place that Ua3 been washed with
turpentine.
5. For cold feet and cram s, an old
doctor told me once to rub the shin
bone up and down until the flesh and
the hand are hot. 1 tried it and havo
never suffered from cold feet aad
:rarnps after doing it.
C. A common oyster shell is a dur
able pot-and-i an cleaner. 1 got my
husband to drill a hole in the center
of one and to put a lid knob in it.
One may buy one knob at a hardware
store for three cents, or two for five
cents.
7. If I put a half cupful of water
in the saucepan in which I am about
to cook oysters, then pour In the milk,
the milk will not scorch. I let" tho
water come to a boil, then add the
milk or cream, or both. Then I let
that boil before the oysters go in. I
never need to clean burned milk from
the side of a raa If tbl3 is done.
Montreal Herald.
Iced Coffee.
Tour one rruart of boiling water on
cne cupful of coffee. Stir and let
stand in a cool place, for 13 minutes,
or boil five minute3. Strain. Have
also a quart of well heated milk, not
boiled, and pour the coffee and milk
mixture in4o a freezer. Sweeten with
powdered sugar. Cover the freezer,
place in a tub of lee and rock salt,
reaching a little higher than the cof
fee comes. Turn the handle of the
freezer in different directions for five
minutes, and serve in coffee glasses
with powered sugar, passed sepa
rately. Clean Old Cloak.
It Is not always necessary to send
light cloth coats or cloaks to the
cleaners whenever they appear a littlo
soiled by smoke and dust. A success
ful method of removing surface dirt
eonslsts in rubbing the material with
equal parts of oatmeal and whiting
applied with a piece of flannel. Tho
;oat should be well shaken, and tho
lame application repeated once or
kwice, until the cloth looks perfectly
:lean. After shaking It onco more, It
-.hould be pressed on the wrong side
vlth a warm iron.
Renovate Skirt. (
An old black skirt may be success
"ully cleaned as follows: First of all.
rush and shake it well to get rid of
he dust, then brush carefully all over
vlth a good hard clothes brush dipped
a malt vinegar, using plenty of the
rlncgar. The skirt should then bo
ning out In the air for an hour to dry,
ind then pressed on the wrong side
over a damp cloth. The ordinary
erge or cloth skirt will be found to
look like new after this treatment
Tuttl Fruttl for Invalids.
For Invalids who are allowed to ?at
fruit there Is nothing more dainty and
refreshing than the following: Take
one box blackberries, one-half pound
c herries, peel and cut up four bananas,
powder with sugar to taste and mix

Luncheon Fad.
Amongr the new Boclal fads la that
of serving a poached egg on a email
square of toast to each guest at lunch
eons and teas. This has long been an
English custom and has lately been
Introduced In New York by society
women Vho have Just returned from
London.
Putting Up Preserves.
In putting up fruit in glass jars rare
should be taken to get fresh rubbers
each season. This Is a comparatively
small expense and will save untold
rorry from leaking jars.
