Jack the Ripper's Victim.

New York, April "a doctor who saw
the body of Jack the Ripper's victim before
it was removed says: whether by chance
or skill, the cut was made so as 10 effect
the object aimed at BY the London Jack
the Ripper, namely, the removal of
the uterus, the incision was begun near
the Termination of the backbone and car
ried from below upward in an oblique d.
rection to point half way upon the right
side Of the abdomen. Then apparently the
knife was CARRIED around the perinaeum
butcher fashion, and the uterus, rectum
and bladder pulled out together The blad-
der is still lying on the bed carefully sep
arated from its surrounding attachments
The rectum has likewise been divided of
from the adjacent structures and super
fetal examination did not find the uterus al
though it may still be lying underneath the
corpse. One thing is certain, the uterus
must have been in the murderers hands
whether he mew it or not, for the presence
of the other structures without il proves
that it must have been withdrawn from the
BODY
The resemblance between this murder
and those credited to Jack the Ripper in
London is thus strong enough to warrant
the presumption that the object
aimed at was the same, although
the procedure was slightly different. One
arrest has been made, but the police won't
give any information concerning the man,
nor would they give his right name. The
murdered woman was sixty years old, and
her name YVES Carrie Brown.

the trustee named in the deed of trust,
from c. Davis to H. Masterson, to be sold
on the first Tuesday in April, 1891, in ac-
cordance with the provisions of the deed of
trust. He further admits and alleges that
the deed of trust from G. Davis TO A. r.
son was prior valid lien TO that
il favor of ]. Gordon Brown,
and that the lein in favor of Brown, if he
has any, is subordinate to the deed of trust
OF the date September 10, 1889, given by c.
Davis in favor of Haines Masterson. Respon-
dent on information and belief denies that
Archie R. Masterson made an abstract of
league for said j. Gordon Brown or for any
one else, upon which Brown made his loan
OF $1,000 to Cornelius and Adeline Davis, and
that Brown well knew his allegation in
his bill and complaint charging that Archie
r. Masterson made said abstract was
wholly and absolutely false when he will
fully and maliciously swore to it. The re-
of said J. Gordon Brown to the
effect, that Haines Masterson
aided and assisted the said Cornelius Davis
and negotiated with our orator be'ore
(meaning the 5000 loan on the
land described in the bill; he
as well as the said Cornelius Davis
representing unto your orator that the
the sum of 500 due him as aforesaid, he,
the said Cornelius Davis, agreeing with
your orator that said loan should be granted,
the said Haines Masterson should be paid the
sum of 500 as cancellation of said lien
and that thereupon the said Haines Mas
terson would release and relinquish the
said lien which he and the said
Cornelius Davis represented and led
your orator to believe was the
only encun brance on said propertv
and say that said allegations ''insofar as
they apply to this respondent, are abso-
lutely and Internationally false when sworn
to by ]. Gordon Brown, and done so for the
purpose of misleading the court in obtain
ing the restraining order in said cause
That in truth and fact respondent knew
nothing whatever about the negotiations of
said loan by C. Davis until it had been
closed and he was called upon for the amount
Of his vendors lien to said land and his
release thereof, and this the said Brown
well knew, or could have known by in
quiry when at the time he swore to the con-
trary for the purpose of obtaining re-
straining order.

-
Garments made.
The best Io7O-br1ted Gar
ments in the market.
Great preparations for this
fall. Great expectations also.
A positive force directs the
coming and going in the Cloak
Department.
No use for toy-bell to her
aid the news. 1t requires the
largest ever cast to tell it loud
and long.
We catch some of the notes
eve wish to make the an
nouncementto every lady, every
miss and every girl in this
state that we have Just what
you want in Garments"
That's straight from the
chiefs right arm. He don't
want you to think that he hasn't
always provided just what you
wanted, but the conditions this
year are different, and he wants
you to know that he still leads
the procession, and that he has
now, as ever, Just 70hat yOn
7Oant.
And he has.
We know it, for our eyes hath
seen the marvels he displays.
In a confident tone the words
roll out next; Do you de-
sire rich, inexpensive, truly
beautiful Jacket, plain or fur
trimmed, handsome cape, 40
inches long the newest New
market, with the long cape ;
a Plush Sacque a quilted lined
Circular; a Gretchen Coat

There, that is breezy and
important, and you will, of
course, consider it well.
The next point made by the
Cloak Department refers to the
Plush Sacque at S2S; worth
$40.
This is the claim made for it.
1--WE will put it in competition
with any Sacque at any Price
above $50"
You will want to look into
that also, for you are pretty
sure to find that whatever the
head of our Cloak Department
says is pretty nearly SO.
kr7nner CabeS, at $3.50,
will also be Of interest to you.
There are two more points
wanted to be made for your
benefit, and you are confidently
invited thus: " Please see the
new deep Capes. Please see
the new 3o-inch Fur Capes.
Please see the $500 all-silk
Waists"
YOU must accept that invita-
ton surely, because you would
not be asked unless there was
something good for you to see.
Last of all comes an i'm
portant assertion Large,
stout people, who NEVER
have been able to get a gar
ment ready-made-we CAN fit
you to a Jacket. Try u.s."
Well, ladies, that covers the
case for the Jealous chief of
the great Cloak Department.
You have his own words,

The title Of naval officer as applied

house has always been an enigma 70
most people. and very few have any
idea OF how It was created The offico
dates back TO the colonial days when
Charles IL was king Of England and
his brother. afterward James IL, was
duke OF York. James received per-
centage on all customs receipts IN
America, and was also lord high ad-
miral Of the English navy. He had
had very little confidence In the men
whom his brother selected ms collec-
tors OF customs In this country. and In
order TO protect his own interests he
insisted on appointing q man whose
duty It would be TO approve every per-
init issued by the collector before u
would be valid. Az lord high admiral

his own officers and placed q naval Of
