Colors For Elderly Ladies'.

Very light colors bring out the faded ap-
pearance Of face, and black is deadening
in effect, unless relieved by lavender,
cream, dark red, etc., writes Emma M.
Hooper in The Ladies' Home journal. All
materials are worn by ladies past their
youth, and such trimmings as jet, colored
passemeuterie, lace and a moderate amount
Of ribbons. In selecting materials avoid
broad stripes and plaids, as they attract toe
much attention. Black, dark and medium
brown, medium and stone gray, dark
green, garnet, lavender, violet, reddish
purple, cream, navy blue, bit Of cardinal
Or yellow in millinery are all allowable for
elderly matrons and spinsters. White can
be worn in the house at any age, but the
duller colors are more appropriate for the
street.
Large bonnets are only worn by very old
ladies. The toque bonnets with strings
are equally suitable for them. A black

black velvet ribbon tied under the chin,
black tips, lace-black or white-and a bit
of color, as velvet rosette or flower, Is al

gay for even a grandmother. A black net

are among the necessary items of an eld.

reaching well around the hips are conven-

Chemists say that grape fruit contains

Free Access Of Air to Woodwork Neees
sary 20 Prevent Decay.

Erce Access OF AIT 70 Woodwork Necos-
sary to Prevent Decay.
Probably no better illustration can be
had, even at the present time. of the
great Importance Of free access Of air to
woodwork as a means of protection
against premature decay than the results
of an investigation, conducted a few
years ago, into the causes Of an accident
in an expensive apartment house in one
of the principal cities of the United
States, in which portion Of ono Of the
upper floors gave way, and, in falling,
carried along corresponding sections of
the several floors below, landing the
whole mass Of wreckaso in the cellar.
1t was found that fortunately unusual
system of floor construction had been
adopted in the building in question, the
spaces between the wooden beams hav-
ing been filed with ashes, presumably
with the view of making acomparative-
ly fircproof structure.
Whatever its merits in this respect
may have been, there was no question
whatever that the mixture of ashes
formed most efficient barrier against
the access of air to the timbers, and
any moisture that was inherently in
them or afterward found its way tc
them through the tiling above had little
opportunity Of being carried away bS
ac;y yentilating air currents The beams
simply had TO rot, and that eompara

Of reconstruction u the floors, however,
good care was taken that they should

Mill aschitccts generally appreciate
the preserving influence Of free air cir
culation so thoroughly that they care
fully guard against even the painting Of
any floor beams which are open to the
suspicion of imperfect seasoning. Where
any moisture is still present in the wood
coat Of paint or tar or anything else
impervious to air, ordinarily looked
upon as a protective agent, simply pre-
vents this moisture from escaping, anG
thus, instead Of guarding against rapid
decay, really promotes it to very ma
terial degree. Happily this circumstance
is becoming properly recognized and ii
beginning to receive due share Of at

NEW York, July Tin his sermon for
today DR.. Talmage, who fSr,ill absent on
his western lecturing tour, chose a subject
Of universal interest-viz, Business Trou-
bles"-the text selected being Ezekiel
xvii, "a, "These were thy merchants in all
sorts of things"
We are at the opening door of returning
national prosperity. The coming crops, the
establishment Of public confidence and,
above all, the blessing of God will turn in
upon all sections of America the widest,
greatest prosperity this country has ever
seen. But that door of successes Is not yet
fully open, and thousands of business
men are yet suffering from the distressing
times through which we have been pass
ing.
Some of the best men In the land have
faltered, men whose hearts are enlisted In
every good work and whose hands have
blessed every great charity. The church Of
God can afford to extend to them her SYM
pathies and plead before heaven with oil
availing prayer. The schools such men
have established, the churches they have
built the asylums and benefcent institu-
tions they have fostered, will be their eu-
logy long after their banking institutions
are forgotten. Such men can never fail.
They have their treasures In banks that
never break and will be miIlionaircs for
ever. But I thought it would be appro.
pirate today, and useful, for me to talk
about the trials and temptations of our
business men and try to offer some cura-
tive prescriptions.

Overanxiety.

Again, great many Of our business
men are tempted to ovsranxiety and care.
You know that nearly all commercial bust
nesses are overdone in this day. Smitten
with the love Of quick gain, our cities are
crowded with men resolved to be rich at
all hazards. They do not care how money
comes, II 1t only comes. Our best NOR
chants are thrown into competition with
men Of moro means and less conscience,
and IL an opportunity Of accumulation be
neglected one hour some one else picks
II up. From January to December the
struggle goes on. Night gives no quiet to
limbs tossing In restlessness nor to brain
that will not stop thinking. The dreams
are narrowed by imaginary loss and
flushed with imaginary gains. Even the
Sabbath cannot dam back the tide Of anx-
lefty; for this wave Of worldliness dashes
clear over the churches and leaves It's foam
on Bibles and prayer books. Men who are

bodies of two of the most notorious des-
peradoes of the Dalton-Doolin gang. The
dead men. stretched on two boards. are
George Newcomb, alias 'Bitter Creek" j"
alias slaughter Kid" and Charley
Pierce, alias dynamite Dick"
The advent of the officers with the re-
mains of the outlaws was complete sur
prise to the community, as no one had
been apprised of the fact that the bandits
were being pursued, much less that there
had been fight, and that two of them
had been killed. They were brought in
just as they were when killed, in full
clothes, with their boots and spurs on,
and armed to the teeth. Besides Win
chesters, each had on a revolver apiece, and
belts of cartridges for both instruments
OF death.
AS their clothes were cut off the
bodies it was seen that dynamite
Dick" had at least thirty buckshot in
him, while two Winchester balls let the
life out OF "Bitter Creek" Dynamite
Dick" was shot ali over, hut mostly in
the right shoulder and side, although he
had fully six shot in his stomach, and as
many in one foot. One of his eyes was
open, as though he had been in the act of
taking sight along Winchester. One
Winchester bullet struck bitter Creeks"
forehead and tore out his brains at the
back OF his head, and the other hit his
hand as he was pulling the trigger.
Marshal Mix does not want to say
much about the killing. as the Marshals
who did the work are still after the other
men. The outlaws were killed at the
southeast corner OF Pawnee County, at
the house of Dunn brothers, near In
gals. the old rendezvous of the outlaws.
They were killed by Deputy Marshal
Schaffer at the head OF six other Mar
shals. The bandits went TO Dunn's
house about s o'clock last evening. 1t
being moonlight, they were easily seen,
and Dynamite Dick" was killed out
right. being filled full of buckshot. "Bit-
ter Creek' made fight, and two Win
chester balls felled him Off his horse be-
fore he could pull the trigger of his gun.
The two men killed are part OF The
gaug that held up the Rock Island train
at Dover some time ago. They had been
chased ever since. Charles Pierce. alias
Dynamite Dick" is half brother to

dized '.Bitter Creek" The outlaw used

Jams, tried to end his life by suicide yes
terday morning. Hills testified at the
examination before Judge Conlan that he
was standing at Twenty-third and Bart
lett streets few minutes after S O'Clock
on the night of the murder waiting for

up the street. A man answering young
Durrant's description came along and a
woman whom he first thought was his
wife met him. The two walked toward
the church and he followed. He saw
them enter the side door OF the church
and he peered in after them, but all was
dark and be went home. The reason he
gave for following them was that he was
under the impression that the woman
was his wife. When he reached home his
