SHE GAVE THE SIGNAL.
The Story of Love and Murder That Comes
Prom the West.

There is a young couple in Haughyille. Ind,
living under the name OF Albert Cox aud wife,
The womsn's gwen maize is Hattie. While
iaboripg under intense religious excitement
she has confessed that she and her husband
were guilty OF a deliberately plotted murder.
Two years ago they were lovers in Cincinnati.
The girl is not yet twenty years of age.
Her parents were partial TO another suitor,
who was rich. mortgage lay upon their
property. Tho rich suitor promised that &c
should be lifted il the daughter would bes,ow
her hand upon him. The younger sutton was
driven from the house and the young woman
forbidden to receive Linn.
The lovers grew desperate and resolved to
run away but that would take money. The
yourg lover devised an awful scheme so obtain
n supply of money. IL occurred 10 him that
the richer suitor should himself pay the forfeit
of money and his life. II was agreed that the
girl should seem to accept the offer OF The elder
sutton in consideration of $1,000, and shonld
make an appointment with him on the Ludlow
Street bridge. The money was TO be paid her
there.
The victim kept the appointment. and as he
approached the girl she coughed. IL was .
prearranged signal for the conspiracy to reach
its climax. Cox rushed forward from a shad-
owy nook and struck the victim a cruel blow
with coupling pin on the head. He was
brakeman and the heavy bar was handled with
fearful effect There was no scream and the
fall of the body made no sound. Both took the
body and whirled il into the river below. The
guilty couple did not stop to watch the plunge
of the body but hurried back to the city. No
body saw them on the bridge and their secrss
seemed safe.
Cox and the girl soon went 30 indianapolis.
Cox obtained employment on the Peoria divis-
ion of the big Four"
Recently Mrs. Cox became a regular attend
ant at revival meetings. She went 90 the altar,
but she could find no peace. Last Thursday
night she tainted at the altar and when re-
stored she confessed the story no here told to
Mrs. Ella Persel Others were brought in and
the confession repeated.
Since that time detectives have been at worn
on the case.

WOman's Laughter.

From tie st. Louis Magazine.
Women very generally neglect a powerful
weapon of offeuse and defense placed at their
command by nature. woman's laugh, if in
tclligently and skillfuly used can wither man
in his tracks or elevate him to the seventh
heaven Of happiness.
Several causes have contributed to the de-
cadence Of woman's laughter. The chief one,
perhaps, is the modern habit of dressing.
Full. free laughter depends upon a perfect
development and exercise of the respiratory
muscles. Confined as these are by steel and
whalebone laughter becomes an impossibility
With loss of the art of laughing comes a
loss of the sense of humor. When the express
sion of any of the senses becomes difficult the
sense itself dwindles. Don't mistake giggiing
for laughter.

Cork Soles for Horses.

From the Manchester eng Guardian.
A correspondent writes to yesterdays st.
James Gazette that the new cork sole is being
adopted for the Belgian cavalry. The horses
of the two regiments of Carbineers, which form
the kings body guard, are all shod with it. 1t
had been previously pointed out in the st.
James Gazette that the Brussels Tram way Com
pany-which in addition to its tram lines, runs
q service of heavy omnibuses from the bourse
to the Place Royale up the steep Montague de
la Cour-has had the cork soles in use for some
six months, and hes approved and adopted
them as permanent thing. The Lon
don General Omnibus Company is about
to give the shoes a thorough trial. and We do
not ioub: that the results will be watched with
much interest in Manchester. Certainly there
is no city in the world where the horses would
greatly benefit from shoe that deadened
impact instead of intensifying it, for in none
are the streets so iron-hard The idea of the
cork shoe is simple. 1t consists merely of the
affixing to the under part of the shoe of two
strips OF cork. one on each side. The cork
strips are held IN position by two very thin
sheet iron plates firmly fastened together by a
rivet. The outer edges of these plates are
slipped between the shoe and the hoOf The
inner edges are turned upward, forming
fanges. between which and the inner edge
of the shoe the cork blocks are tightly fixed Be-
tween these f1anges is fitted a screwed bolt with
nuts at either end so that when the nuts are
tightly screwed against the ianges the whole is
perfectly immovable. In order to hold the
cork still frmer in position the corners of the
fianges are turned down over it. thus forming
a couple Of sockets. into which the cork. which
at first slightly projects over the surface of the
shoe, is jammed and compressed more firmly
every day BY the weight of the horse. The IN
itial expense per shoe is greater. On the other
hand. it is maintained that the shoes last
longer; that the horses are lees often in the
han of ba npIl lppu hat. IL
ing" becomes unnecessary in frosty weather;
and. of course, that falls and accidents are far
less numerous. 1t half of this is true, there is
a better time coming for the horses.

Danger in Meat Dict.

FROM the f1tsspufB D1spAtcn-
The evils of a meat diet are being appre-
ciated by many high livers in cities. and these
are being counteracted partly by the wealthy
in adding moro fruits aud vegetables to their
tables during the winter. The cheapness Of
meat and peculiar craving which the system
seems to have for meat have gradually made it
common for city people to live almost entirely
of meat in the winter months. Meat is eaten
three timos day in quantities, and the ex-
cessive use of such diet IL that rheumatic
and govt temperamen.s are acquired. These
temperaments arc on the increase, and they
are largely duo to the excessive use Of meat
Lime water counteracts the evils of this diet
to a large extent Alkaline waters Of all kinds
have q tendency TO act a. dilntents, and hence
are beneficial 70 persons who are addicted to q
heavy meat diet. Lime water has tendency
to make children grow. and in countries where
the drinking water 10 heavily impregnated with

extensively in the milk for children, but 4
should not be restricted to children. for In this
meat-eating generation men need IL, too. For
perfect sanitary diet, alkaline wager i needed

this means nearly everybody, excepting the

A Notable Trial That Has just Ended in
Germany.

Germany.
The criminal court in Oidenburg, Germany,
has condemned the Lutheran pastor, Muller, to
fourteen wears hard labor for embezzement,
obtaining money by false pretenses and forg-
cry. The trial has been one Of the most nota-
bic in recent years More than fifty witnesses
were summoned to testify TO their losses
through Muller. and seventy-iive more, who
were ready TO testify, were not called upon, as
the case against the pastor was complete with
out them. 1t was shown at the trial that Null

years ago, and that he had continued the prac-
tce without intermission until fear of xposure
induced him to fec.
He told the peasants that he could invest
their money for theni at q larger rate OF inter-
est in Berlin, and more than one hundred of
the petty land owners and shopkepeers in
trusted to him sums varying between 900 and
$500 MARKS. He induced the parish to buy .
lot next to the church for $1,000 marks on rep
reservations that the Roman Catholics were
about to buy it. He collected the purchase
price, but paid only 10000 marks to the seller,
saying that the rest would be paid in install
ments. As secretary of the church council in
Oldenburg the councillors testified he manu.

meetings resolutions authorizing him to collect
large sums. He made the collections, but spent
the money in wild living in Berlin during his
occasional visits to that city. Altogether he OBJ

The constable who arrested him testified that
Muller. after his fight and before his arrest,
spent thousands on fast women, posing as q
wealthy horse breeder, and when caught was
sitting in a country tavern with but marks

in his whole experience on the bench he had
not seen another such abandoned scoundrel as

Persia will offer the customs receipts Of the

The opponents of British influence in Persia

The mollahs, or priests, started a crusade
against the government and a number of seri-
Gus disturbances occurred. The priests for

agitation, cancelled the concession and

probable acceptance is taken as another indi-

GRACEFUL STREET COSTUMES.
In the initial illustration will be found a
street costume Of very graceful cut and make
up, the materials being a large check silk and
Russian green wooden stuff or Sandman gray if
you prefer. The pulled sleeves. the skirt front
and corsage front and corselet are all of the
silk material. while the redingote is of the
wooden and has a slight train. The very
stylish and original cut OF the basques will be
noted, the coat tails being box pleated at the
back and reaching down to the bottom Of the
skirt in point on each side.
You often hear the question asked: When

of course. IL is largely a matter of complexion

that would be no excuse for continuing to dress
