No Pnoe' Won.

The face veil Is now a sine qua non Of
ofevery wonan's street, church, recep-
ton and theater toilet. They are worn,
indeed, to the table at luncheons, slip
ped up during the actual eating process,
to be lowered when the finger bowls
appear. The vagaries in these tlimsy
face coverings are legion, almost every
shade known being represented, with
the fabric running the gamut Of plain,
dotted, ietted and even jeweled. The
new reddish purple is the latest ca
price, and Is as unbecoming as its color
would suggest. ocutists have grown
weary OF warning women against these
wells, strapped close to the eyes, and
more DO continuously, and now conane
their efforts 70 repairing, SO far as pos
sible, the damage which they work.
The use Of the veil, sachets or cases is
thriftysBuggeation, and the cobweb
bits are easily mislaid in o drawer, or
torn by too much handling, And they
are one Of the most expensive Of the
email accessories OF the toilet.

A CONVICT 81 YEARs.
H0ld JOE" a Life CeayIet IN tho Aiehigan
Pen, stu Hopes for FFoedo@'

H0id JO0,D a Life Convict In tho Michigan
Psn, stu Hopes for Rrssdom.
+ A Detroit, Mich, dispatch says'
'Joseph Duquette, familiarity known as
pold joe" has a unique distinction,
He was sent from sanilac county, April
50. 1858, on solitary life sentence, and,
In point OF time served, is the oldest in
mate Of Jackson prison, Strange to
say, his thirty-four years OF judicial
slavery have not made a living corpse
othim, Even the fifteen years that he
remained IN solitary confinement, al
they whitened his hair and furrowed
his brow, did not break his spirit or
undermine his health in any great de-
gree. Joe is very much alive yet lie
will squeeze comfort ont Of the most
trivial circumstances, and will laugh,
when there is chance to do so, on any
and all occasions.
Dnquette was IS years old when he
came to Jackson, He Is now 62. The
crime for which he is still being pun.
ished was horrible one, He was em,
ptoyed as q cook on lake boat, and
had with him his wife and a young
child. Becoming iRcensed at the for,
mer for supposed infdelity, he seized a
red.hot poker and plunged IL into the
child's body His victim died after
undergoing terrible torture,
The old convict has registered per-
petuaI request for pardon, For twenty
years he has petitioned and petitloned,
but the governors have been deaf TO his
entreaties. IN
Duquette is No. 7 on the prison reg-l
lister There were only six inmates
ahead Of him when he came 70 Jackson.
All these are gone. William Marsh
was No, /, and the records show that
