most fustidious taste dispenses with them

1t is also much the best form to have the
corsage cut only half low. An extremely
pretty gown worn by girl Of II at a late
wedding reception was made of plain white
silk muslin, with full waist gathered into
belt, the neck being cut down but two
inches all around and shlrred with little

elbow, and few sprays of smilax were the
only adornment. This unusually simple
attire gave the young girl, who, although
pretty, was rather heavy, delicacy and re-
finement of appearance which Il more elab-

in two or three years, would have put out
of the question.
The gown of which a sketch Is given is

DR. ROWLEY INDICATED.
No Criminallty in tho Death of Mrs.
HOImes md Her DAUGHTER.

PoMERoY, o.: March 12.-An autopsy
was held on the remains of Mrs Holmes
at Syracuse yesterday revealing the fact
that her stomach had been destroyed by
some powerful drug, and that she had
congestion of the lungs, which would have
proven fatal. The official investigation
will not be completed for several days, but
1t is now believed by the coroner that the
death of mother and daughter cannot be
traced to any criminal source.
The coroner states that investigation
shows that the daughter, Mrs. Joseph
Matthews, took an overdose of the al
legged liver medicine prepared and used
by her father, under misapprehension
that 1t would more speedily relieve stom-
sch trouble. and dying from the effect
thereof in two days. She took the medi-
cine of her own volition,. The mother,
Mrs. Holmes, took double dose Of the
same preparation Of her OWL accord to
allay gossip, and to prove the drug harm
less.
DIR, Rowley, who treated Mrs. Matthews,
after she took the drug and whom Mrs.
Holmes charged with having admins
tered poison in pills by accident, is vindi-
Gated by the post mortem, as he did not
treat the mother. The funeral of Mrs.
Holmes was attended yesterday afternoon
by nearly the entire population within
three miles, aggregating 600 people.

FOUND DEAD IN A DITCH,
Young Robert Peck Evidently Murdered
for Fifty Dollars.

HARTFORD, March 12.-The body of
Robert II. Peck, "a years old, was found
In n ditch at Bloomfield, with bullet
hole through his head. From investiga-
tion it appears that a murder has been
committed. The body has the appearance
of being placed in the ditch to cover up
the murder.
Peck was an inoffensive young man who
lived with his sister, Mrs. Frank Barber,
in West Hartford. He went out from the
city on the last car at 10:45 Saturday night
and had traversed half mile after leav-
ing the car in West Hartford, where he
was murdered Two rough looking
strangers who were seen to follow him are
suspected OF being the murderers.
Peck's pockets were found turned in
side out and his vest ripped open. As it is
known he had $50, robbery is the as
signed motive. The suspects are about 20
years old and evidently amateur Grim

ENID, o. T., March 12-Because of an

W. FL. Gregg became acting mayor. The
next day Moore made an attempt to with
draw his resignation, having been re-
Questcd to do so by large number of
citizens, but the council refused to allow
him to withdraw it, as they wanted to get

Judge Thompson against Gregg acting as

ground that it was not brought in the
right manner.

against some Of the officials, and at the
meeting Of the council Saturday night an
effort wrs made to capture the city rec

Enjoyment of Guest Who Was Out Of
Place at n Fashionable Ball.


Place at Fashionable Ball.
The young woman had been to ball,
and she was telling her sister about 1t.
She was good looking woman, but she
was not beautiful, and of course that was
against her. She was unfortunate, too,
in that her father was not what might be
called "a distinguished man." He was
successful business man, but neither rich
enough nor prominent enough to be worth
"cultivating" from a society point of view.
But her greatest misfortune was that she
was stranger.
Still, she had been invited to the ball,
probably because the hostess had known
her mother years before and felt that she
ought to extend some courtesy to her
daughter while she was in Chicago Sho
and her brother had been present.
