Louise Rleman was his little three year old niece, who as Schmidt went to bed laat night called out from a neighboring room: "Hello, a nickname for her uncle. Two families Hve at ZiU North IlllnoU street, those of August Schmidt and John Rleman. his son in law. William Schmidt was August's brother, iind WILLIAM SCHMIDT.

boarded with his family. Eoth August and William were "employed in Rieman's flower store. Mrs. Rleman passed through her uncle's bed room this morning on her way to the kitchen. As she threw up the blind the light fell on the face of William, and she noticed that it looked paler than usual.

She had heard him groaning a few minutes before and knew that since Christmas he had suffered much with neuralgia. This was about 6:30 o'clock. A few minutes later, as she passed through the bed room again to go to her baby, who was calling from an adjoining room, she saw a pool of blood by William's bed. She supposed he had had a hemorrhage, and she hurried down stairs to tell the other members of the household. Mrs.

Relman's younger sister hurried to the bed. and was horrified to see the gaping, bleeding wound in her uncle's throat. Telephone messages were sent to the City Hospital and to August Schmidt and John Rleman. The hospital doctor hurried to the house with the ambulance, but, finding the man dead, he telephoned for th coroner and left the body as It lay. In the right hand was a penknife, with Its blade as sharp as a rasor.

Coroner Brayton viewed the body at 9 o'clock, and it waa removed to Hermann's undertaking establishment. Caase of the Suicide. Schmidt was thirty five years old. No cause for the suicide Is assigned by the relatives except despondency over his poor health. He was not married.

Last night he bought 20 cents' worth of morphine at a neighboring drug store. No trace of it was found by the coroner in tne room. The druggist said that he warned Schmidt that it was a dangerous drug, but the latter replied that it was tne oniy thing that would give him re uei irom neuralgia. or Quarter of a grain?" asked tne aruggist. "Oh, nothing less than two grains at a time aoes me any good." Schmidt n.

swered. The druggist sold him twenty one quart sogrsjn puis. The relatives say inai it ue ic.a mis morphine, he was not in ms ngnt mind when he cut his throat tie drank a rood deal, they say. and re turned home last night under the influ ence or liquor, and was rather cross Defers going to bed. At other times he was jolly and companionable.

Coroner Brayton return is that Schmidt died from hemorrhage, follow ing tne severing or tne jugular vein, he said that the throat was cut clean, from ear to ear. the wind pipe being also sev ered. Had the man been under the Influ ence of morphine, the coroner said, he would have been too stupid to have cut bis throat. THE CHURCH IN LONDON. The Rev.

Mr. Foster Talks to the Christian Ministers. The Ministers Association of the Christian churches of tho city met to day at the Den few Hotel. The addicss of the morning was delivered by the Rev. W.

A. FoiKer, of West xndon Tabernacle. London, upon the subject. "Th State of Religion In England Mr. Foster showed that the outlook for Christian union was muen brighter in England than in Americ i.

because the existence of the established church aids hi cementing the nonconformist churches Into a dom union. There are one million more nonconformists tnan there are churchmen In England. Th speaker expressed the belief that the disestablishment of the English church is rot a remote possibility. It Is being agitated all the while, and the nonconformist bodies are growing rapidly, Notwithstanding the fact that a general revival has made Itself felt In the established church of late, and a consequent growth has occurred, nevertheless there Is a growing prospect of nonconformist supremacy. Mr.

Foster declared that there are at least 500 independent churches In the city Of London, belonging to no religious denomination, calling themselves simply Independent Christian churches, which might readily be united under the same general organisation as the Christian church in America, If the proper person were but sent to England to gather them together. After tho address a reneral discussion snd conversation followed. Next Sunday night mass will be held by members of the Christian churches of Indianapolis in tne Interests of th city work of the church union. The Rev. Mr.

Pound will spesk at the Third Christian church, the ftev. Mr. Jenkins at' the Central church, the Rev. Mr. Lucas at tho Engtewood church and tho Rev.

AN EXPERT CAKE MAKER. The Beat of Ingredients One of Her Principle. like, th et. born, in Nashville, a woman, Mrs. W.

H. Wil.vm. who demonstrate the truth of that proposition. Her i akes have made their way Into two continents. Several time she has stnt bnu 's oakes and Christmas cakes to Loudon and Paris.

And one has Sone cvtn as far as Australia. The maker of them Is forced to turn away orders raw. ias in th year. "I got into business altogether accl dtr.ta'.ly," she t.iyp. with a smile, when you ask about it ail.

"I always loyed to mike cake, nrd candy. ahl nice jhings After I married and set UP houst ke 'a bvjran to cook as much as I imaged, ask my friends to conic and lui; cat what I had cooked. Poor ttuy lxgan to usk me to make cakes Inns wh.u they had en te rtair.mt ts. Tlu wouiu not let me furnish only Co th work. lien, so roany of tlitrn wanted me to rnakv the thiols, tii' s.ud I simply mus take pay lor It.

I hated to do It It was so entirely tcj oinl uh.il i had thought of Uut j' euple. wlin to the city and entt I rot so In a wav of raving over my cakes, iaking away to tlu ir ernes othr lakes, and then sending buck mor. I was In a manner (urotd 'o a professional rakemaher. "There is no secret about It." she goes cn. "At least, none that I can see.

I simply use the best of everything. My eggs I buy In the country direct from the farmer. My butter, too. is fresh, and always carefully washed and kept on Ice until I want It. Flour, evgar, nuts, fruit, flavorings, liquors whatever I use, in fact, has to be as good as can be found.

I find a dash of brandy just as the cake goes to the oven helps to make It light, and also tobke more evenly." "My cakes are mixed in various ways according to rhe sort I am making. The eggs are always very cold when broken, 4rd whipped light in a cool, I sift my flour two or three times until It is light like snow. A light hand helps in makinar cake. There is Just a certain turn in the stirring that mixes the In gredients right. One person who has it by nature always makes good cake.

One who hasn it may work twice as naro. and never turn out a good one. "Mv icing, jrhlch Is really the distin guishing feature of my cakes, Is cooked you see. No. I can not ten you now make it.

That Is my only secret, and feel bound to keep It. I color it almost rny shade. After it is done, let me show you what I do with it. A Peep Into the Kitchen. She was speaking in the kitchen of her handsome apartment, a kitchen as tidy as the pretty parlor.

It is furnished with a raa range, on top of whic was a bright, big saucepan full of what looked like boiling now. A black girl, as neat as the kitchen, kept beating and stirring It all the while; at the sdde there were other pans full of the same snow, which had mysteriously turned green or blue, or pink or purple. "My idea of cake and icing." said Mrs. Wilson. "Is that they.

should never be either Bticky or clanamy. yet always soft enough to eat with a spoon. Here are some cakes ready to be sent off. This one goes to North Carolina tho others are for local orders, I pack them. you see, in boxes just big enough to hold them, cover them with oiled paper, put In crumpled tissue paper over that then set the boxes in baskets, with handles at top.

The express companies are. notified always to carry them by the handles thus they get to their destinations with the cakes uncrushed. How did I get to the point of knowing so. much? Well, it has ail come through experience. When one way would not answer, I had to sit down and think up something better." The North Carolina cake was big and round, covered with pink Icing, and having a wreath of pink icing sweet pease around the edge.

One of the local cakes had icing lilies in high relief on the top of it Another had daisies, done to the life, with yellow sugar hearts. But beautiful as they were, they were put out of countenance by a lot of individual cakes ordered for a swagger luncheon. Some were Iced to look like pink and white chrysanthemums; some were whltey green snowballs, others had knots of violets or narcissus upon their Iced surfaces, with a fine fluting around the flowers. A Bride's Cake. Upon the dinner table Mrs.

Wilson was Icing a big square bride's cake. She had put a wreath of lilies of the valley around the sides, and above that a fes tooningf ribbon icing ribbon, of course. Now she was meditating on a design for the plain square center. She spread a sheet of blotting paper upon the table, took up a paper cornucopia full of Icing, manipulated it a minute or two and there." plain to view, was a bouquet of valley lilies, tied lightly with a true knot. "I thlDk that will do." sh said, and ut once began to.

reproduce the lilies upon the cake. Incredible as it sounds, ail her work is done in this simple fashion. She has such gifted finger thatwiUi only the paper horns, filled with ihe smooth, foamy icing, she can shape whatever flower or line her fancy conjures up. Her candies ar decorated the same way. She makes therr.

of plairi cream consistency, cuts thi sheets in fancy shapes, and puts tiny flowers or figures of the icing upon the top of eac. Naturally, the Tennessee Centennial was a time of triumph for her. She mJe the oakes for the breakfast given to Mrs. McKlnley by the woman's board, took all the priies offered by the Centennial for cakes and ended bp showing on Kate Krrkman day a cake fch a picture of Kate Kirkman herself, president of the Woman's Board, which was so lifelike everybody recognized ft: Beyond all that, her work was in sucii great re quest for the many handsome entertain ments that she was; forced tc leave the city for more than a month, rather than let herself be worked to death.
