CHAMBERLAIN, S. D., June l3.-One
of the most dcvilish. and unnatural
crimes ever committed in the state was
perpetratcd in Charles Mix county the
other day. Mrs Effiin, II farmers wife,
left her 12-year-old son in charge of his
little half-sister. child about 2 years
old, while she went to another part OF
ing the forenoon the little one became
fretful. when the inhuman boy got
down the gun, telling her she must
stop crying or he would kill hel The
frightened child ran screaming behind
the stove to the woodbox when the
young villain laid the muzzle of the
gun across the stove, aimed it at the
terrified child and deliberately
pulled the trigger. The charge en-
tered the upper part of the forehead,
crashing through the skull and
laying hare the brain. After reloading
the gun and putting it in its place on
the wall. the boy picked up the bleeding
form of his sister and laid it in the
cradle. After the cradle had become
saturated with blood he carried her to
the bed, where She was found by the
mother when she returned to the house
to prepare dinner. All attempts to
force the boy to tell how it happened
were for a long time fruitless, he de-
claring that the child had accidentally
fallen against the stove. His fathers
beatings and even a rope placed about
his neck failed to elicit any further in
formation. Finally neighbor took the
boy aside and by bribing him with
money induced him to give the above
horrible particular RS. The young tiend
evinccs the most stolid Indifference to
the fate of his sister or his awful deed.
The child lived but short time.

A ROBE OF SPUN GLASS
An American Product that Pleases
Princess EuIalia.
II viii Cost Five Thousand Dollars. but
That's Little Thing to Royalty.
Sensational Disappearance of
Margharita's Rare Laces,

CHICAGO, June l5.-Princess Enlalia,
upon her return home, will introduce
into the royal wardrobes of Europe a
new and peculiar product of American
invention. Her highncss, since arriv-
ing in this country, has seen many
things forSshich admiration has been
expressed Saturday afternoon, while
making trip through cosmopolitan
Midway piaisance, her eyes rested
upon an object which seems to
have charmed her above all others.
She made no hesitation in
saying it delighted her when it was
first presented to her view and long
after she left the plaisance thoughts of
possessing sample filled her mind.
Sunday her mind was made up to pro-
cure it at any cost. and negotiations
We're at once entered into for it.
This product of our genius which the
royal lady has SO signally honored by
her wish for it is. of course, q
dress. But it is dress such
rs no other woman has yet worn, Ill
though one, a distinguished actress, had
found it before her and had made ara
rangemcnts for having one made. The
dress is to be made of glass, and will
be woven especially for the princess at
the works on the plaisance. The ma
terial is made from Il warp of silk
woven in with a body of spun glass SO
delicate in texture that it is pliable as
the softest silk. The process was in.
vented but recently and none of the PEE
culiar fabric has yet been put upon the
market except in small articles, such as
necktics and these only as souvenirs
from the works on the plaisancc.
With the present facilities for man
ufacturing it can be made but slowly
and Mt great cost. One yard each day
is considered a big turnout. 1t is,
therefore, expensive material and the
dress which the princess will have
wien completed will cost about s., 900.
Cost, however. Will not be taken into
consideration SO long as the princess is
pleased with the figure and fit. 1t will
be presented to her by the glass works,
when finished, and will be taken to
Spain for the especial delight of the
courtiers at home.
