GoDEY's LADY's Book for March
presents some very strong attractions.
Besides the steel plate illustration of
the story, Another Alternative, F"
there is very pretty wood-;ut furn-
ished this month, and novel colored
work design. A new story by Miss
Rollston, called Jamie" opens in
this number; under Grey Skies" pro-
and Helen Mather's Directing of the
Weird" reaches satisfactory finale.
mo Motive" strong story, by M.
r. House keeper, is one of the unsuc-
cessful MSS. entered for the prize
competition. Mrs. v. Sheffey Haller's
laugbable charade. Ginning Room, " Is
concluded this month, and several
new departures are made in the edito-
rial columns. GoDEY's comes out
every month with some fresh attrac-
ton. One would think that in time
its resources would be exhausted, but
they seem to increase and multiply.
The latest enterprise of Messrs. s. II.
Haulenbeek & Co., the publishers, is
the award of books to every person
who secures new subscriber, one
book for every subscriber secured.
These books are all catalogued, and a
free choice is allowed. The list CON-
prises many of the standard works of
the best authors. 1t is truly wonder
full that for the small price of 81. 90
the publishers can afford to furnish
their magazine for one year, and a
book premium, costing in the stores
from one to two dollars But this is
one of the problems which GoDEY's
LADY's Book has solved successfully,
and we accept the result with CON-
plete satisfaction. Subscriptions may
commence any time.

Is HE LYING ?
The Absence of Henry ID. Morrow
still lnexDIainedJ

The mystery surrounding the disap-
pearance of Henry b. Morrow, treasurer
of the Board of Education, grows deeper,
as each day goes by without any tidings
from the missing man. Friends of Mr..
Morrow spent Tuesday in searching for
him at Atlantic City, Philadelphia and
other places, but were unable to learn
anything that would indicate his where
abouts at present. II is known positively
that Mr.. Morrow went to Philadelphia or
started for that city from the p, W. &B.
railroad station by an early morning train
ON Friday. Since then nothing has been
heard of him by his friends.
The theory that he has been foully
dealt with or has been drowned in the
river is daily gaining ground and the
missing mans friends here were very
much discouraged yesterday and begin to
despair of ever seeing him alive. 1t is
reported among other rumors in connec-
ton with the affair that Mr.. Morrow
stated to a friend some time ago that he
would some day be missing from the city
and would never be seen here again.
This strange statement is not generally
credited, however, although there are a
few who now believe that Mr.. Morrow's
disappearance was prearranged, and that
he will not return. .-
The motive for his leaving the city can
not be ascertained, if any really existed.
Although his accounts have not been ex-
amined President Baird says he feels con-
WINGED that they are correct. The posi-
ton gave but little opportunity for pecu-
lation, even had the desire existed. The
treasurer was also under bond in the
sum of $4,000 for the proper discharge
of his duties. The accounts and books of
the treasurer are locked up in the fire
proof safe. which cannot be opened ex.
cept by Mr.. Morrow or an expert, ms the
combination is known only to the former.
