A sewing girl let the cat out of the bag.
The real ground for Mrs. Caroline Scott
Harrison's aversion to the decOllete bodice
was not moral, but flannel. While in no
way delicate lady, according to this in
formation, she is too fond of her health to
take any risk of losing it, and positively
refused to adopt the low-necked and short
sleeved gown prescribed by the modiste.
1.-The flannel must remain" she is reported
to have said; so cut the corsage any way
Won please" And the flannel did remain.
By special request an order was sent to a
manufacturing house, and the lady's vests
were woven to measure with V, square and
heart-shaped necks and sleeves reaching to
the shoulders. Mrs Levi P. Morton, on the
contrary, ordered her ball dress cut court
fashion; that is, with low, round corssge
and short sleeves. She is one of the few
women of her age in New York society who
could wear the style which shows the neck
and shoulders, tapers from the hips, is
laced up the back, and fitted without q
hustle. 1t is the very dress for the wife OF
the Vice President, her shoulders are beau
tiful, dimpled, and milkwhite, her throat
and arms exquisitely moulded, and her
skin as perfect as a piece of bridal satin.
Together with being a beautiful woman,
Mrs. Morton is an accomplished one, and
her children are not more systematic in
study hours than she is. Mr.. MortOn's
secretary, the talented Weston COyney,
who was on the staff of the Prince of
Wales in his trip to the Zufu lands, at
tends to much of her local and social cor
respondence, leaving her the extra time

A BIG IMPROVEMENT.

A Large Business Block, With Flats Above,
to Go Up on Tenth Street.
1t was learned yesterday that the lot on
Tenth street, lying between the suspen-
sion bridge abutment and the west end OF
the brick building belonging to the linn
estate, was to be improved at once in a
manner which will make a valuable ad-
dition to that portion of the city. The
distance between the points named is
seventy-two feet, and at present it is
partly occupied by a twc-stOry frame
building and is partly vacant ground. The
contemplated new building will occupy
the entire space, and will be three stories
in height, with four store rooms on the
hrst floor, and the upper stories divided
into French flats with all modern improve
ments. There will be eighteen apartments
in all IN the hsts, which will make resi-
dences of the most desirable kind. Kieves,
Kraft * Co. have the contract, and ground
is to be broken by April 14th at the latest.

THE BromptOn Hospital for consump-
tives, London, England, publishes state
ment that % per cent. Of the patients in
that institution had unsupported kidney
disease. Every drop of blood in the sys-
TEN passes thousands of times through the
lungs each "a hours. The same blood
passes through the kidneys for porifcation.
If the kidneys are not in good condition or
able to expel the poisonous or waste mat
ter the acids return to the delicate tissues
Of the lungs and produce irritation, which
results in the symptoms of what is known
as consumption. This explains why 81 per
cent. of the consumptivs patients have IN
suspected kidney disorder. Warmers Safe
Cure puts the kidneys in a healthy condi-
ton taking the acids from the blood which
yitiste the lungs and cause consumption.

A Rise in Sugar.

New York, March 15.-The output of
refined sugar has lately been taken up
freely, since the consumers have looked
for higher prices on account of the
steady upward movement of the raw
product, based upon statistical position,
the short crop in the West Indies, and
the fact that England completes sharply
with America, at producing points, for
supplies. Reiners have carried along
old prices until yesterday, when the old
list was suspended to be rearranged at
the meeting of the Trust to be held to-
day. The revised prices put out this
morning show an advance of a all

| TERRIBLE TRAGEDY.
Samuel Rumble Commits
Wholesale Murder,
AND WINDS UP WITH SUICIDE
Three Relatives Shot Down in Cold
Blood, the Result of Some
Family Troubles.

Associated Press Dispatches to the HERALD
AUSTIN, Nevada, March IA terrible
tragedy occurred at Italian Canon, twelve
miles from here, yesterday, between 2
and 8 O'Clock P. NJ. Samuel Rumble
killed his father-in-law, George Uosking,
and his brother-in-law, aged 10, by
shooting them with a charge of shot,
which entered at the left side of the neck
of the former and tore away the face OF
the latter. A boy named Johnny King,
hearing the shot, came toward the house,
and was met by Rumble, holding out the
gun, and asking the boy to shoot him.
The boy refused, telling him to come to
the house and get dinner. Rumble then
took the boys horse and rode three
miles to a lower ranch, entered the
kitchen of the house, and with a pistol
shot Mrs. Hosking below the left temple,
and then shot himself in the right tenn
pie. Mrs. Hosking was ironing clothes
at the time.
The four bodies were found at the two
ranches, lying at right angles, forming a
cross. The tragedy was the result of a
quarrel about the division of property
and family troubles. Mrs. Rumble was
in Austin at the time of the shooting,
and is distracted at the news, having two
children, the oldest IS months old
Johnny King followed Rumble on horse
to the lower ranch and found the bodies
in the kitchen. He Immediately rode tc
town and told of the tragedy. The
