What's the News?

Chicago. H., Jan. 26.-George Painter
was hanged at S:O4 this morning. for the
murder of Alice c. Martin.
1t was q bungling execution. The
rope broke at the first attempt. victim
of the blunder was picked up limp, an
other rope was secured and he was hang
ed second time.
The first rope used was the same that
was used in hanging the anarchists. The
scene was trying one to the people who
were present to witness the vindication
Of the law. The jail physician said the
second hanging was unnecessary. as
Painters neck was broken when he first
dropped. His body will be taken to
Aurora. Illinois. this afternoon.
Painter smoked a cigar on his way to
the scaffold and tried to retain his COM
posure After prayer by Rev. Moerdike.
Painter stepped forward and in faler-
ing voice said: Men have sought death
because they thought there was advance
ment to future life. To-day hate death.
l don't want to die. II killed Alice
Martin, the woman l dearly loved, l pray
this minute, my last minute on earth.
that the eternal God will put ms into
eternal he'll. Gentlemen, il there is
man among you who is an American in
his soul. l say, see that the murderer OF
Alice Martin is found. Goodbye"
Painters crime was the murder Of his
mistress, Alice Martin. at their rooms on
South Green street, near Madison. Dur
ing his contnment, Painter, who was q
Chicago gambler. professed to become
firm believer in hypnotism, and pleaded
for an opportunity to demonstrate his
innocence by being thrown into hypno-
tic trance. He would be compelled, he
said, while under the influence OF
hypnotist, 10 repeat his actions on that
night Of the murder. but his request for
such a test was refused. Painter was
twice reprieved, affidavits being secured
tending 10 fix the crime on Dick Edwards,
desperate having some resemblance to
Painter and now under sentence in Texas
for numbering another woman. After
patient investigation, however. Governor
Altgeld decided last night that the affida-
Wits we're worthless.

Carlisle's decison to issue bonds, and

sumed or increased production. and
though these are not works employing
thousands each. the aggregate increase is

tinue. and about a quarter Of them are

the sailor hats. A novelty in summer millinery is tho usc of tullc. white cs- pecially, but colorcd also. on round hats and capotcs alike. Birds and birds wings arc used by Paris millincrs on tulle hats that arc gathered on wire as fire as a thread and edged with q tiny ruche of tulle. A large rosette of white tulle each side of n hat is n foundation from which start sprays of flowers or stylish aigrets. Fancy straw toques are in demand. A charming effect is gained on ono of these toques with the associ ation of bird and wild flowers as trim ming. A smart toque of lace, with a fine lace crown and tiny curtain at the back, represents yet another new style.
 Ostrich feathers are in great demand this season, and occasionally as many as 20 arc used on one hat. Some of them are wired to stand erect, and oth- CTS are disposed of in various recumbent positions, falling over the brim and curling around the crown.
 One of the latest ribbons is reversible. with a different color each side, and an other has an openwork stripe. brocaded with tiny sprigs of flowers down the center.

Minnesota 20 years ago, has been seven years n United States senator and has been q prominent political leader in his state for nearly 30 years.
 Cushman Kellogg Davis has n pictur esque personality and an interesting history. In appearance he bears mark ed resemblance to the late Benjamin F. Butler. The bald spot on his head is not quite SO farreaching as the generals was, but he has the same facial features and the samc peculiar ovcrhanginS left eyelid. It is said that about 10 years ago Butler and Davis were guests at tho Fifth Avenue hotel in New York, and by chance were seated at table facing each other. The other guests in the din ing room, attracted by their rcsem- blance, watched them constantly during the meal, and finally an old clergyman who was acquainted with General But Ter walked over to the table. and greet ing the general said that he had never known before that General Butler had a son. The incident brought about intro ductions and pleasant talk between the two politicians.
 Senator Davis was born J6 years ago in Henderson, Jefferson county, N. \. His parents went to Wisconsin in his infancy and settled on tho tract of land which has since become famous as the site of Bethesda Springs. Young Davis was graduated at Ann Arbor ill 1851 and then studied law. He served as first ! lieutenant of the Twenty-cighth Wis. consin volunteers during the war, and after being mustered out moved to St. | Paul and established large and lucra. tive law practice. It was built up large | ly outside of railroad and corporation l cases.
 The senator sgnalized his entry into public life by opposition to the railroaf corporations, and while he was govern or in 1ST4-5 legislation was effected by which the control of the railroads passed into the hands of the state, anC the rates of transportation were made at the state capitol. MT. Davis was {; member of the legislature in 1867, wa. United States district attorney for Min nesota from 1868 to 1878, was govcrno, in 1874 and 1875 and was elected United States senator in 1887 and TO elected ill 1893.
 Senator Davis wife is a belle il Washington society, where she is great ly admired for her beauty and amia bility.

IN SENATE AND HOUSE.
The River and Harbor Appropriation Bill
 Passed.

me hlNer anu rAppEbpFiAtion
 Passed.
 WASHINGTON, July 1.-The river and harbor appropriation bill, which usually gives rise to sharp debate and consumes from three days to a week for its compile tion, has been passed by the senate An other important bill-the legislative, ex- ecutive and judicial-was immediately taken up and put well on its way toward passage before the senate adjourned. The early part of the days proceedings was enlivened by a discussion of Mir. Hale's resolution inquiring whether there had been a meeting of the conference com mittee on the tariff bill Besides tho au- thor of the resolution, the Republican con- ferees-Senators Allison, Aldrich and Sherman-each expressed condemnation of senate chamber methods of considering the bill now involved.
 Mir. Voorhees, replied that he had been actuated by an overwhelming desire tO ! hurry the bill through its last stage in not inviting the Republican members to the meetings It was necessary that the ma. | jority should first formulate some line oi ! action for themselves, after which a full conference would be called. Several bills I of minor importance were passed. The house agreed to the report of tho conferees on the pension appropriation bill. The remainder of the day was de ! voted to the consideration of private bills i Although several were debated, none wa: passed.

 extreme breadth of shoulder, which is not becoming to short women. but this is so easily reduced to suit the height and taste of the individual that it need not be disfiguring. Fashions are so es- pecially feminine that they are bound to become more and more pleasing as they develop. Even the popular tailor made coat and skirt gown has n touch of femininity in the dainty lace trim- med blouse which is worn with it.
 The fancy for making bodices of a different material from the skirt and sleeves has lost none of its popularity, and mousseline de soie and cream col ored and yellow lace are the favorite fabrics. Blou.es made with a basque are also popular. A very pretty one is in pale pink surah. the yoke being for mulated with cream lace insertion. sur rounded with deep frill, trimmcd with double row of insertion. The basque. sleeve puff and elbow frill are made to match. Satin ribbon is tied loosely .ound the waist. Black and white con- tinue to bc n favorite combination of color for striped and checked silk gowns, and white moire. particularly for trim ming, is taking the place of black. which has grown so common that its absence readily distinguishes new gown from an old one.
 The fancy for introducing a bright color at the neck and waist seemed al first to be only passing freak, but it i. such becoming addition and give. such dash to a simple gown that il has become one of the reliable points o fashion The details of a dress hay, much to do with its smart appearance, and a touch of the right color in th' right place is often moro effective thaI the most expensive trimming. AnOthei pretty idea for decorating the mucl trimmed bodice is the use of bOx plaits 1Is ar ? inches wide. of the same ma tcrial as the skirt These are made on tirely separate from the bodice. whicl may be of lace, silk muslin or like tn rest of the dress and put on in q variet. of ways. Sometimes three plaits cxtcn' from the neck to the belt, both back an' front. Other waists have thrcc in iron only, and. again, one plait is used il i front and back alike.
 English walking hats are considere' especially appropriate with tailO gowns. and the same may be said fo
