STORE NEWS"
WOODWARD ( LOTHROP.

Judging from the trade of
the past few days thoughtful
shoppers are evidently aware
Of the fact that the best Fall
buying time is mosO. The
store is packed with the very
latest productions in fabrics
and styles. The goods are
new, fresh and pretty. The
assortment of shades and
styles is at its fullest.
Even Christmas preparations are cropping out
all over the store.
The Holiday Bric-a.brac Department Is one of
the beauties of the store, and deserves the atten
ton with which 1t is meeting. The various
wares, each of which takes on a myriad of
shapes, embrace Venitian Hungarian, Tepltzs'
Old Ivory, Carlsbad, Imperial Crown, Cashmier,
Dresden, Japanese. Terra Gotta and others
equally rich and beautiful.
(First floor; left OF main entrance)
WRAP EXHIBIT.
We shall have an exhibit
ton of Wraps all the week.
The styles in the long gar
ments as are varied as they
are handsome, and it is nip
and tuck for popular favor.
Pelisses, Newmarkets, Rag
lans, Carriage and Theater
Cloaks in loose fronts and
tight fronts, loose backs and
tight backs, loose sleeves and
tight sleeves, braided and
plain, trimmed and untrimmed
and the greatest wonder OF
all is the price. 1t is surpris-
ing how much Wrap and
"Style" can be had for SO
little money.
This can be appropriately applied to the en-
tire stock of Jackets and Wraps, as although the
fabrics are better the shades are handsomer
and the styles are more becoming, the prices are
lower than have ruled any preceding season
We are buying with more care, with better
knowledge, a ripper experience, and then, too
direct from the makers.

Doings at Washington.

The troops of the Second cavalry, station
ed at the Presidio and detachment of the
same regiment at Beneecia California, have
been placed by instructions from Washington
under marching orders. They will be sent to
some point in Arizona on the Mexican border.
The movement is thought to be due to
trouble caused by border rufiians and also by
the Indians in Arizona.
Mai. Gen. Schofield has issued n general or
der announcing that he has assumed COM
mand of the army. He also issued an order
detailing First Lieutenant :. +. Sawyer, Fifth

sidering n bill to pension Mrs. Sheridan. 1t
is thought that the bill will carry about
81 600, although the sum as 1t stands in the
bill at present. $4,000. Is mentioned. The
committee generally think that $4,000 Is
little enough. but the difficulty of getting
such q bin through the house is recognized.
The members of the committee believe that

soldiers of the war should be fixed the same

Murder and Suicide.

horrible shooting affair took place at
Minneapolis at lodging house kept by Mrs.
Harris. One evening young man applied
for a room for himself and his wife, who, he
said, was to arrive on train. About mid
night pistol shots were heard in their room.
After an alarm a policeman put his shoulder
to the dor and burst into the room. On
the bed, as if asleep was young man. On
the floor, lying on her left side, with her left
arm under her head was a woman. A revolver
within a few inches of her right hand and
the trickling blood from a wound back of her
right ear, told the story in an instant. She
was unconscious, but her heavy breathing
told that she was still alive. Not SO with her
companion. He was dead. A bullet wound
in the left temple told the tale. The
identity of the actors in this horrible
tragedy was revealed by a young man
who appeared to have been q companion of
the pair, and who said the man was James
Seaman. gambler, and the woman Pearl Will
son, who has until few weeks ago kept
q bagnio at 439 Jackson street, St. Paul.
As to the cause of the murder, it is ap-
parent that Pearl shot Scanlan and that,
too, when he was asleep. There is every in
dication that his death was instantaneous.
With pint bottle of whisky half emptied
and several bottles of beer it would appear
that the two had been on debauch, but
their conduct and appearance did not go to
show that. Neither was there any occasion
for jealousy. Without doubt, the woman
is insane, or at least was when she fired the
shots

Captured q Princes Steward.

During the years when brigandage
was rife in the papal states many in
tensely dramatic incidents occurred.
One, which is vouched for by William
Beatty-Kingston, illustrates the cool
effrontery of the brigands and the
helplessness of their Victims One of
Prince Orsini's land stewards was
carried away and his capture was
signifed in the usual manner to his
employer. An ambassador was there
upon sent out to neutral territory to
treat with the bandits representa-
tive. This negotiator demanded a
large sum of money as the prisoners
ransom, together with 200 loaves of
bread, ten barrels of wine, fifty rifles,
1000 ball cartridges, and twenty
good watches. Moreover, the bri-
gands coolly demanded that their
old watches should be taken to Rome,
repaired, and brought back as good
as new. The prince communicated
this demand to the papal authori-
ties, who only shrugged their should
ers and said: "If, Altezza, you want
your agent back again perhaps you
had bettergive these scoundrels what
they ask. We can do nothing" Ac-
cordingly, as the steward was a val
ued retainer, the prince performed the
specified requirements to the letter
and effected his ransom. But the
most pathetically absurd side of the
story is that touching the steward
himself. He returned from his ad-
venture half-dazed with fright and
privation and terribly shaken in
nerve. He was, in after years, fre-
quently compelled to visit Rome, and
often met some of his former hosts
in the street. They always greeted
him affectionately, and made him
treat them to wine, and called him
the best of good fellows, but they
never failed to add, in a jesting man.
