I'VE are most Of Us in training for tbs

every society girl has 10 go through the

o'clock, and sleep until 7. Then they are
given d 5oRl Of beef tea befJre arising.
aud after they are dressed they must take
a walk, a ride or drive 10 the open sir.
Coarse oatmeal forms their chief dish for

10 the dressmsker's shopping or calling,
but must lunch at exactly the same hour

"A low-neck dress is worn for a while
every evening" continued the belle, with

Our greatest trials come after a dinner

Jack Moore, who was shot Friday
in street fight at Mount Vernon
Ky. died on Saturday morning, tho
nth inst, and his brother Tom canno,
live. The particulars of the terrible
affair are about as follows:
Judge G. w. Mcclure, Lee Carter,
Jack and Tom Moore had a dispute
about the recent Kuklux trouble of the
county and fight ensued. Mcclure
grappled with Jack Moore and was
fired upon By Tom Moore. Cartec
then opened on Tom Moore, and they
emptied THEN revolvers at each other.
Jack Moore and Mcclure were sepa-
rated. The Moore boys then armed
themselves with guns, and were walk
ing down the street when they met
Carter.
Jack fired at Carter, but missed, and
Carter shot him down with a load of
buckshot. TOMS shot also missed, and
he in turn fell by his brother, pierced
with six balls. Mcclure was shot
twice but not dangerously, He gave
himself up. Carter escaped uniniured
and has fed. Mcclure is ex-sheriff
and was judge of the county court
The Moore boys are sons of a Metho-
dist minister. Carter is lawyer
There is much excitament over the al
fair and friends of both sides are flock
ing into Mount Vernon. though no
further trouble is expected.

Lottery Gambling In Vienna.

"Apropos of lotto, which is the rage
just now. 1t has played very curl
GUS role in recent trial here, An
unfortunate woman, nearly starved to
death by long years of priyation and
chronic hunger was suspected of hay
ing murdered her aunt, rich old for
tune teller and sordidly avaricious
The Judge was seeking with all his in.
genuity to gather together the threads
OF proof Of the woman's guilt, which
he could not succeed in establishing,
when he learned that two hours after
the murder, at moment when nobody
as yet knew what had happened, the
accused had drawn three numbers at
the lottery-93, 25 and AZ. Now SO
was the age of the victim, 25 the num-
bei of the house in which she lived,
and AZ signifies in the Credo of Lotto
gamblers life and death. The Judge
regarded this coincidence of numbers
as the most overwhelming of proofs.
The wretched woman was accordingly
condemned to death"
