A BRACE OF PORK CHOPS.
The Murderer Ate Them and They Led t.
His Conviction.


His Conviction.
Quite novelty in the annals of JUS
tice has been the conviction of muir
derer by the tacit but effective testi-
mony of the remains of couple of
pork chops, which, gnawed to the bone,
had been left on the table in the din
ing-room of the unfortunate lady whom
he had just done to death.
At the end of last year Mime. Leblau,
the widow of doctor in practice in
lilly Mouse, suddenly disappeared.
She lived quite alone, and her absence
was not noticed by the neighbors for
some days. The door of the house was
broken open, and all the rooms were
found in state of utmost disorder, the
floor of the kitchen being covered with
blood.
The plate and various other articles
of value, had, however, not been
touched, though several bank notes-a
list of which was afterwards discovered
in drawer-had, been removed from
the desk in which the money was kept
1t was soon ascertained that two of
these securities were in the possession
of peasant named Aubertin, who re.
sided in the neighborhood and was
known to be deeply in debt. When
Aubertin was arrested he denied that
he had any hand in the crime, but it
shortly transpired that on the very day
when the murder was committed he
had bought a couple of pork chops
from the head dealer. and there on the
dining-room table lay the tell-tale
debris. Au5ertin, in fact, had known
beforehand that the sinister task which
he had set himself to do would demand
a certain amount of time in it's accom-
plishment. He had determined on saw
ing into pieces the corpse of the poor
lady, and several hours were devoted
to this horrible work. A few days
afterwards some fragments of flesh
were found near the pier of one of the
river bridges, and on the morrow the
remains of q body which had been cut
into several pieces were discovered in
the Mouse. Aubertin has just been
tried at the Meuse assizes- and con-
demned to hard labor for life.-London

The Three-Oaarters Cape.

The three-quarter length cape still
has full sway over the feminine heart.
The woman who before long will smil-
ingly appear in huge crinoline-lined
skirts, that is, the woman of fashion,
has at present goodly number of
capes The cape is the most graceful
and convenient of wraps and is espe-
cially fitted to be worn over the sleeves
which adorn our gowns of to-day. A
stylish costume to be worn to an infor-
NAL five o'clock tea is of Russian blue
bengaline with a cape of faced cloth to
match. The gown is made princesse
fashion with girdle of black velvet
Around the bottom Of the skirt is a
wide band of silver fox fur. The bal
loon-like sleeves are of Russian blue
velvet The cape is three-quarters
length and lined with dull red silk.
Over the faced cloth cape is worn a
deep plated collar of velvet bordered
with the silver fox. To match this cos
tune is large hat of Russian blue felt
laden with black feathers Dull red
gloves vaudyked with black are also
worn.-N Y. World.
