The double murder at the Isle OF Shoals
was Of a most brutal character. Two un-
offending women were slain like beasts,
and another victim would have been ad-
ded had she not got out of the reach of
the murderer by fight. Revenge and
murder were the motives it appears. The
murderer was rejected sutton of one OF
the women. and revenge for his want of
success and to secure sum of money
which he supposed to be in the house led
him to do the deed. 1t was with difficult
ty he was kept from being lynched His
case falls within the jurisdiction Of this
State. He is foreigner, native of Stet
tin, Prussia, and has been in this country
only about Eve years.

THE KIND OF WOMEN TO MARRY

all her false adornments. Think of

her rats and mice, panniers ana friz
zles, seated at his breakfast table.
May you succeed in getting a true
girl for a wife, full of won anly
sweetness-one that will look as well
at the breakfast table as when she
bewitched you with the arts of the
toilette; one who will not dem and a
carriage when you need cart; one
that will not require a mansion when
you have onl y cottage to offer; one
that will be satisfied with plain
dresses when you cannot afford
brocades; one that will entertain
your friends on dollar when you
cannot afford banquet; one that will
plant flowers in your lard and insist
on you whitewashing the fence; one
that will be to y ou the ornament, pride
and magnet Of the dearest place on
earth.-"Home sweet home"

Every year increases the POPULAR
ty of this valuable Hair Preparation !;
which is due to merit alone. We
can assure our old patrons that it is
kept fully up to its high standard;
and is the only reliable and perfect
ed preparation for restoring GRAY
OR FADED HAIR to its youthful color,
making it soft, lustrous, and silken.
The scalp, by its use, becomes white
and clean. 1t removes all eruptions
and dandrufg and, by its tonic prop
critics, prevents the hair from falling
out, as it stimulates and nourishes
the hair-glands. BY its use, the hair
grows thicker and stronger. In
badness, it restores the capillary
glands to their normal vigor, and
will create a new growth, except in
extreme old age. 1t is the most eco
nomical HAIR DRESSING ever used,
as it requires fewer applications,
and gives the hair splendid, glossy
appearance. A. A. Hayes, MD,
State Assayer of Massachusetts,, says,
"The constituents are pure, and care
fully selected for excellent quality;
and / consider it the BEST PREPA-
RATION for its intended purposes"
