Father. Cornea Home..
When Mr. Burrell, fattier of rho dead
children, returned home from bias wo.lr
at Gibson's marble works, at Winchester
and Parliament streets, he found his
wits) busily engaged in getting the sup-
per ready. The kettle was steaming. and
everything was in apparent readiness for
his return. Mr. Burrell a; once noticed
that the children were not in their usual
places at the table, and onqu#rcd of his
wife as to whether they had eaten their
supper, The reply given by the woman
was that she had given then their sup-
per early and bad put them to be'I for
the night. Tho father then asked that the
obldreu be brought downstaire again, but
his wife said, "Oh, they are all right
where they aro."

Mr. Burrell stood at the foot at the
stairway, and was about to go up, when
bis wife seized him, and begged of him
to allow them to sleep and not arouse
thong. Tho tether, detteminad to seo the
children, went upstairs to the room, and
bis wife followed him. The door was
closed, and as he entered his oyes fell.
upon the youngsters lying cuddled to-
gether in the cot. When hir. Burrell
realized that the children were bead, he
esolnimod, "lacy God! have you killed
them?" His wife, with downcast bead,
replied, " Yes, I have."
.
,
Mr. Burrell, although grief et -Holten,
ran out for a neighbor, Mr. Jack Dorsa,
and returned with him to the house.
Bother Tells holo She stilled Them.
Mrs. Burrell was standing in the
kitchen when tbe two men entered, end
Mr. Dorst questioned her as to why she
hat committed the awful deed. Mrs,
Burrell did not appear alarmed • in any
way, and said that she did not expect to.
live Tory long, and if the children lived
after her that they would surely sin.
She was satisfied in her mind that they
were angels, and that they were butter
off in heaven. Mrs. Burrell then went on
to tell how she had committed the deed.
She took the three children upstairs
about 8 o'clock, and sat them upon a
large bed in the room. The mother had
a straw in her band, and tinkled the
children until they nearly went into
convulsions with laughter. All the time
the mother held a stout red oord in her
hand, and she made a loop in it, largo
enough to adroit of a child's head. Seiz-
ing little Ethel, the youngest of the
three, she put the cord about its neck
area choked it to death. Stanley, a boy 5
years of age, quickly noticed the peculiar
actions of the mother, and asked what
was the matter with the baby. Mrs. Bur-
rell, in her mad frenzy, did not reply,
and proceeded to put the loop about his
neck. The child oould not offer any re-
sistance, as it was a cripple, oomp]otely
paralyzed on one side. In the same way
the woman took the remaining child and
took its life.
The Little Tots Found.
When the tragedy was discovered by
Mr. Burrell, the three children were
found lying in the oat, side by side, • and
Harold was laid aoross the bottom. There
were no wounds on the body, with the
exception of slight abrasions of the skin
caused by the cord being tightened about
their necks. The children, from appear-
ances, had died without a struggle, and
looked as though they were in a peaceful
slum ben
en the Elands of the Police,
When the police went to the house,
Mrs. Burrell did not offer any resistance
and calmly submitted to being' placed
under arrest. The patrol wagon was
summoned and the woman was taken to
Pollee Headquarters on " Court street,
where she was placed in a cell with the
other female prisoners. The prisoner is
37. years of age and is short in stature.
She was sleeping peacefully last night
and does not, from appearances, resemble
a person capable, of committing such a
terrible act.
She is the second Mrs. Burrell, and bas
been married six years. By his first wife
Mr. Burrell bad six children. They are:
Rev. `Vni. R. Burrell, pastor of Sheridan
Avenue Baptist Church; Rev.` Charles
Edward 'Burrell, .pastor• of the Baptist
Church at Westport, Ontario; George and
Arthur, at present attending Bolton ave-
nue school; Mrs. Robert Staff of I3urk's
Falls; Elizabeth, who loveswith her
brotbee at Westport, and Nellie, aged 17,
wbo, u t it Thursday, lived at the Bolton
avenue bonze. Nellie ie at present living
with her brother, Rev, Sem, R. Burrell.
The Pastor's Story.
"I wanted them to go to heaven right
away," said the demented woman to her
pastor, Bev. P. C. Parker of First Ave-
nue Baptist Church, who arrived shortly
after the discovery of the deed. "I want-
ed therm to go before ane." ,And then she
continued with the utmost unconcern,
and with absolutely Ito conception of the
enormity of her act. to say: "It I went
away there would be nobody to take care
of them and they might grow up bad.
'I bey're not bad now. They're little
angels."
Mr. Parker and tier .distracted husband
romeestrated with her.
"I told her," said the clergymman, "that
ber father and the rest of us could have
taken caro of them, but site contld, not be
led to see it Su that light. She doesn't
seem ro teel her position at ail. $be `.
thinks she bas. Clone right."
Sick All Summer.
Mrs. Burrell had been sink its the hos-
pital twice this summer, suppasedly with
inilanatnatory rheumatism, After spend-
ing two months there slag returned home
in July. About the lenieta of August she
was taken sick again, and returned to the

Make Jlnothor :ldjournment.
Paris, Oot. 2e. --The joint session of
the Peace Commission yesterday lasted
Irons 2 p.m. to 4,50 p.m. During this
time the commissioners m sa onors dismissed the
second series of written arguments put
forward by the Spanish for the uurposo
of prevailing upon the American com-
missioners to assume the Cohan debt. No
definite conclusion was reached and the
commissioners adjourned until Monday,
when the Cuban quossion will again bo
discussed.
Who Should Assume the Debt.
London, Oot. 21.—The Speaker, in a
Jong article on the Peace Commission,
says:
"The reluotanoe of America to annex
Cuba is mainly due to a desire to escape
the burden of the Cuban debt. At the
same time the doctrine of international
law by which a debt incurred by a ruler
binds his successors, rests upon slight
foundation.
"It is monstrous that a tyrant should
be able to burden future generations
simply because be is in possession of the
material government. if investors felt
that in international law loans incurred
against the will of the people would not
attach to the country in the event of a:
change of government, there would be
less of that monetary support of misgov-
ernment whish has disgraced the high
finance of the nineteenth oentury,
Chargeable Upon Cuba.
"For fifty years Spain bas ruled Cuba
in defiance of the will of the Cuban peo-
ple and in spite of the constant protest of
the United States. The cost or her mili-
tary operations were met by Loans speci-
ally chargeable upon Cuba, in the firs:,
place in order to punish the Cubans and,
in the second, in order to arrange for a
oheap retreat in tbe event of being
driven oat by America.
"In a word the debt has been charged.
upon Cuba largely with the object of
seedling it upon the -United States. The
bondholders were encouraged to look to
the supposed doctrine of international law
as part of the security while they knew
they were lending to Spain against the.
will of both. Cubans and Americans: It
is to be hoped that, the United States,
while assuming sovereignty over Cuba.
will refuse to pay any part of the debt
except the money used in the develop-
ment of the island, thereby setting a
most useful precedent by which °tyrantd.
and financiers will do well to take note."

Colored lingerie is a thing of the past,
whito percale, nainsook and batiste being;
now more fashionable for underwear than
anything else. Fine embroidery and lace
aro the decorations employed, and as real
]ace is easily injured in washing unless
tbe proems is very careful, an ingenious
method is employed by which it may be
laundered separately from the garment
Which it adorns. Instead of the lace being
sowed directly to the underwear, it is
sowed to a lace beading, a similar ]ace
heading being placed upon the edge of the
artiolo. The two bands of beading are

usually employed, white or of a delicate

For cool weather a lining of this flannel
3s advisable for the body of the petticoat,

tection from the cold. Although silk pet-
ticoats are by no, means serviceable,` the
constant chafing of the silk against the, in-

tractive for use under nice gowns.
Today's illustration depicts a petticoat

deep, circular flounce whish rises toward
the back. The flounce is bordered with
cream guipure and: has lengthwisebands

tied at the side. The morning jacket

ferer from Bronchial trouble, and would
be so hoarse at times that I could scarcely
