THE SINS OF FASHION.
A Cincinnati Young Lady Couldn't Take
the Sacrament Because of a Tight Veil.

A Cincinnati Young Lady Couldn't Take
the Sacrament Because of a Tight Veil.
A most shocking yet ludicrous thing
occurred Sunday morning in one Of the
leading churches of this city. A beauti-
full young woman was the person guilty.
She was elegantly attired and wore
n of those peculiar wells that fit close
ly over the bonnet and face and tie in a
sort of hangman's moose under the left
ear. After an eloquent and impressive
sermon the bread in silver salvers was
passed down the aisles by the members
of the session. The lrdy who wore the
curious veil took a piece of bread and
tried to slip the knot at the ear, failing
in which she vainly e~ndeavored to put
the morsel of bread under the veil into
her mouth, but she only drew the LOOP
tighter. She blushed, grew vexed and
tossed the typical fragment of bread
carelessly into the aisle. The elder
turned just in time to observe her, and
the plate almost fell from his hands.
Several other faces took on a Mortified
expression and then a smile.
The fashionable young woman would
have given her hope of heaven to have
been able to retreat from those glances,
but quick as she was after the service to
reach the door she was not soon enough
to escape the minister, who reprimand-
ed her privately on the sins of fashion.

AN ESTATE WITHOUT HEIRS.

A Rich south Dakota Cattleman Dies Sud.
denly without Making q Will.
A Chamberlain Is. d. special says
that the immense herd of cattle brand
ed u. b. s." ranging in Lyman coun-
ty has been levied IN by the treasurer
of that county for taxes. The owner Of
the herd was John B. Smith, who is re-
ported to have died suddenly in Mime
apolis while on q business trip to that
city ome weeks ago. The Lyman
county authorities, however, have no
proof of his death, and there is no record
in the probate court of that county
showing that his estate has ever been
probated. Parties claiming to have held
O mortgage on the stock, but who are
now known to be rustlers, have been
running the cattle ont of the country
without any process of foreclosure, and
the county treasurer finally came to the
conclusion that Ii was time for him to
act and accordingly levied ON the bal
ance OF the cattle for the taxes due.
Nearly 10, 900 cattle were run ont Of
the country.
Smith left from So, 900 to $40, 900 in
life insurance besides the large herd of
cattle in question. II is regarded as
very peculiar that his heirs have never
attempted to settle the accounts OF the
deceased cattleman.

Any revolving standards of manhood
which had been set up were not to be

details to be allowed to obscure the
main issue. The credit to be placed
upon the testimony Of plaintiff and de-
iendant where they differed, was to be
judged in the light of the character and

circumstances affecting their cred

After reviewing the contentious Of the

In explaining one of the instr uctions
the Judge said that If the defendant had
any knowledge of improper conduct on
the part OF the plaintiff when he prom

condoned those offenses. Explaining
another, he said that the defendant.

Senator Kyle is unfortunately in favor
of repeal Of the tax on state bank issues
and thinks that the circulation of state
banks can be made as secure as that of
the national banks. He is unequivecal-
ly opposed to the national bank system
OF circulation and would like to super
sede it by the state bank system which
he claims could be based on state or
municipal securities. Before voting for
repeal, 1t would be well for the senator to
know what his state law is going to be.

BOSTON, April 16.-The Commercial

mestio and POS, 900 pounds foreign last
week, and l.S42. 1919 pounds domestic
and 207, 600 pounds foreign for the same

show q shrinkage from those seven days
of last year Of 1873, 900 pounds. The
receipts similarly show a decrease
Of 31,471 bags domestic and
644,332 foreign. The market is
purely q political one. The majority Of
the trade believe that wool will not be
free, hut they do not dare to do business
on any such basis. Prices for fine or
territory or other varieties OF wool. OF
which there are plenty are fairly steady,
out no nigh prices on fine. Delaines are
one-quarter of a cent below grade and

in sellers favor. The feature of the
week is the changed attitude of the
great pulling houses Of Swift and Ar

their prices are up | TO 2 cents ON all
grades Of pulled wool. For the present
Messrs. Swift and Armour have merely

When Carmine was placed on the
stand and had told his version of the
affair, he was asked If his wife was
troubled with corns or bunions. The
attorneys for the defense excitedly OBJ

Deputy District Attorney Malarkey,
which resulted in u victory for the de-
Tense, the court holding that a husband
was not supposed to tell all he knew in

When Mrs. Carmine took the stand,
however, the objection no longer held,
