fearful uproar was heard in the room.
Screams, struggles, several pistol shots
and the sound of a falling body. When
the first policeman to arrive broke open the
door, this was what he saw:
The girl, naked and covered with blood,
lay upon large double bed at the left Of
the room. She was black in the face. A
clothes rope, six feet in length, had been
wound around her neck and then drawn
taut. 1t had been knotted and the ends
dangled from the bed. The rope had sunk
SO deep in the flesh that the policeman had
difficulty in cutting it. On the floor at
the foot OF the bed, near the window, Weiss
was lying in pool of blood. He was clad
in a white flannel undershirt and cotton
drawers. His jaws were set in agony and
one arm lay at his side, while mis- right
arm, which was upon his breast, clutched
a small, three bladed, horn handled pen
knife with the large blade open. The blade
was only two and a half inches long, but
it had done fearful execution. There were
ten stab wounds and three pistol bullet
wounds in Weiss breast, but he was still
alive A 42-calibre five chamber revolver,
evidently recently purchased and with its
entire vechambers empty, was under him.
He died in few minutes. The girl, with

Pupils in Schools for the blind.

The total number Of pupils in schools
for the blind in the United States in 1850
was 1881, while in 1850 the number was
e,04l, an increase in the decade Of 500. II
must be borne in mind that the apparent
increase in the decade Is due to some ex-
tent to the increased facilities for the re-
eeption and education of the blind in the
schools established for this purpose.

is very convenient argument IN favor
of an entirely new costume. a dress
intended for church wear should not be
gaudy nor overturned, nor should it be
in too bright colors; nor, on the other
hand, is 1t right to put on just anything
that comes to hand. To dress in perfect
taste for church is a delicate gift more
than having the means of buying any
thing one wants.
A very modest and suitable gown for
church for young lady was made of
pale gray cashmere worked on the tabs
that bordered the bottom Of the skirt in
black silk. These opened over another
skirt of white embroidered pongee. A
small mantelet in black surah, with
little passementerie trimming and a
ruffie and jabot Of embroidered black
pongee, is worn, and a plain white sailor
hat with a gray band completes a COS
tune that is in every way suitable for
church.
Another gown which can be worn by
women Of any age has an underskirt of
lusterless silk, and this is entirely cover
ed, waist, sleeves and almost all of the
skirt, by black Spanish lace. 1t is looped
UP on the left side and held by two black
satin butterfly bows without ends and
pointed girdle of the same ties in the
back The bonnet is of black chip with
jet and gold bead band and ornament in
front. Nothing could be more refined
or elegant. A small silk or lace wrap
can be worn if liked, as some ladies
never feel fully dressed without some
kind of a wrap.
Cashmere, serge, plain black silk and
such goods are always in good taste for
church dresses, and the wealthiest ladies
in New York dress the plainest in church,
though they naturally have fine material
and are very careful in the matter of
gloves and boots and such like articles of
toilet. Prayer books are carried in
dainty little bags, made on purpose, of
velvet, satin, kid or silk, or even in net
ted beads of steel or jet. Some prayer
books, however, are carried between
neat celluloid covers or satin stiffiy en-
broidered with gold. A sweet serenity
and far away look is always put on with
the surah dresses, and it is very becom-
ing too.
