Between shopping for spring frocks
and spring hats the average woman
can feel no lack of interest in life,
even though the times are hard and
husbands and fathers preaching econ-
.0my.
Both hats and gowns have a certain
charm of novelty that few women can
resist, especially at this season of the
year when all nature is blossoming
into new garments, as it were.
Fashion has been kind to us also in
the way of headgear. There is Ettle

reached me recently that red hats will
reign later in the season be confirmed

Why Booth was Not = Hero.

AS time goes by the people of the
United States will, perchance. be more
charitable in their Judgment of Booth
and his confederates; but no one who
reads the story of Lincoln's assassina-
ton and the subsequent flight of his
slayer with an unprejudiced mind will
ever place Booth side by side with he
roes who died to save their native
lands from oppression Between muir
der and patriotic revolt there is gulf
too deep to be bridged.

Booth,s Grave at Baltimore.

The body of Booth was taken to
Washington. An autopsy was held
and the remains identified. The story
that Booth escaped and that some other
body was substituted is without foun-
dalton. This rumor is repeated about
once year, although it should have
been set at rest long ago. After the
inquest the body was buried in one of
the cells of the old Washington peni-
Tertiary. There it remained several
years when it was given to members
of his family. subsequently the re-

The Great Crime RECALLED.

Booth himself was made of sterner
stuff. Five minutes past ten on the
evening of April IA, 1865, he entered
Ford's theater at Washington, where
President Lincoln was attending a
performance of ''Our American
Cousin" Holding in one hand a re-
volver, in the other a dagger, he
opened the door of the box occupied
by the presidential party, placed
the revolver close to the presidents
head and fired the fatal shot. At this
moment the actor in the man FREEDOM
mated. He jumped from the box to
the stage, waving the dagger, fell on
one knee and shouted: ''Sic semper
tyrannis." Before actors or audience
had recovered from their astonish-
ment the assassin had made good his
escape. When Booth sprang from the
box to the stage one of his spurs
caught in curtain, the fall producing
a vertical fracture of the left leg.

The Conspirator and His Tools.

When John Wilkes Booth commit
ted his great crime he was twenty
seven years of age. He was one of the
idols of the theater-going public, having
inherited his fathers remarkable tai
ent in a greater measure even than his
brother Edwin. Being an ardent con-
federate, the downfall of Lee preyed
on his mind, and may have produced
monomania. This would perhaps be
proper and charitable view had he
carried out his evil design without
calling to his aid others who were less
intelligent and far-seeing. When
Cassius and Brutus conspired they
called upon their equals in rank and
opportunities. Booth associated with
himself David Hero1d, young drug
gist's clerk; Lewis Payne, a deserter
from the confederate ranks; George
Atzerodt, sign painter; Samuel Ar
mold and Michael Mclaughlin, two
confederate soldiers, and John Il.
;Suratt, the young son of his landlady.
He was the evil genius of these smaller
minds. He filled their hearts with
hatred for persons and things which
before had been merely Objectionable.
He persuaded them to believe that
murder was heroic; and, say what we
will, he led them deliberately to in
famous death. Payne was to kill
Seward. AtZerodt was intrusted with
the removal of Vice President John
son; the others were to cover the re-
treat of the murderers- The tools
yielded to the eloquence of their
leader, but when the hour of action ar
rived proved too cowardly to carry out
their parts of the diabolical conspiracy.

CHEERED WHEN HEAD FELL.
Fioious and Brutal Rejoicing at ihe killing Of
Able Bruncau.

LAVAL, Aug. 3U.-Abbe Bruneau was
executed at o'clock this morning. He
awoke when the officers entered his cell to
tell him it was the time to prepare for the
execution. When he was dressed the con-
demned man heard mass and received
communion. He prayed the pardon of
God and man for any faults he might have
committed, and also asked that the clergy
might pardon him for breaking his vows
of chastity. He then informed the at
PENDANTS that he was ready. He showed
great GOODNESS until he arrived at the foot
of the scaffold, when his fortitude seemed
to leave him.
An enormous crowd was present, and the
people chcered when the criminals head
fell into the basket.
Bruneau left 2-page letter in which he
protested his innocence of the crime with
which he was charged.
The order for the execution was not re-
ccived until 5 o'clock last evening. When
it became known to the people, it
Caused General Rejoicing.
A crowd began to gather at the scene of
the execution as night fell, and 1000 per-
sons had assembled by midnight.
i/oiiiIuc, PiioohoA oouhooi'
arrived in Laval late last evening. He
left the train at the station next to Laval,
as he feared that he would be attacked by
the populace, who had been greatly in
censed because of his efforts to obtain
Bruneaus pardon.
AS the night advanced the mob grew
noisy and the police cleared the Place de
Palais dc Justice, and troops cordoned
the streets. At o'clock this morning 1000
people were waiting in the ncighborhood
and passing the time in tumultuous sing
ing and yelling. They became so disor-
derby that the soldiers were obliged to
drive them further away.
All the windows overlooking the scene
of execution We're lighted and crammed
with spectators, who beguiled the time in
drinking and laughing.
Deibler, the executioner, and his assist
ants, began TO erect the guillotine at 2:15
O'Clock. The scene at that time was one
of riotous and brutal rejoicing, which was
continued until the knife had fallen, when
the mob numbered 5000.

MILD PROTEST
Made by Gresham to Nicaragua Against III
Treatment.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 30.-The men made
prisoners at Bluefelds by the Nicaraguan
government, who were taken to Managua
and who, according to cable reports, bad
been banished, included the British vice
consul at Bluefells, Edwin d. Hatch, who
had not been recognized by Nicaragua; j.
S. Lompton and E. ID. Wiltbank, Ameri-
can planters, confessedly active partici-
pants in the rebellion. Minister Baker,
under instructions from Secretary Grss-
ham, entered strong protest against the
summary exiting Of Americans whose prop
erty is understood to have been seized, un-
til the men had fair trial. If this protest
is not respected. the United States is de-
termined to demand the unconditional re-
lease of the prisoners, refusing to recog-
nize the right of Nicaragua to virtually de-
clare martial law without warning. The
Columbia and Marbehead will, if neces-
sary. enforce the demand.
No doubt is expressed that Nicaragua
will eventually agree to the position taken
by Secretary Gresham and fair trial of all
arrested persons will follow. The United
States in common with Great British hopes

reservation will be induced to take up a

NOT FOR MONTH
Will Mills at New Bedford Start - those
Working Contribute.

New BEDFORD, Mass, Aug. 30.-It was
stated by well-known mill man this after
noon, that not a mill in New Bedford would
start up next week as is currently reported.
He said he considered it doubtful if the
mills started up inside of month and
thought it de finitely settled that no move in
the direction of opening the mills would be
made inside of two or three weeks at the
most.
The most determined step was taken by
Card and Picker Room Association. Ii
seems by the starting up of the Rowland,
Rotch, New Bedford Manufacturing Co.,
Columbia and Bennett mills about one-third
of the union members are now working.
To help their fellow members who are out
on strike a majority of those working
pledged part of their earnings weekly TO
assist in carrying on the strike. Thus, in
directly, the managers of the mills running
are aiding the strike. The members and
others have offered Sl.50 and various other
sums each, as much rs they can afford
from their small pay.
A mass meeting will be held Sunday to
arrange for system of collecting this
money and distributing it among the strik-
ers. Word was received, today, that two
collectors were in Holyoke collecting money
for New Bedford strikers and the police
suspected they were not collectors sent out
from this city. Upon investigating the
matter it was learned the men were from
the card and picker room association. They
had just commenced to collect in that city
Reports from collectors from this union
show they did very well the first night away
