STILL ANOTHER VICTIM.
THE HOLMES CASE GROWING MORE
HORRIBLE AND MYSTERIOUS.
Patrick ouinIan, an Old Friend of the
Fiend, Makes Startling Disclosures
The Last Victim a Chicago Girl,
But Name Not Given.

Chicago, July 26.-Startling disclosures
were made last night to the officers en-
gagged in the Holmes investigation by
Patrick Quinlan. a trusted friend and
former empoye of the alleged wholesale
murderer. He gave Information which
convinced the police that Holmes had
made away with Kitty Kelly who was
employed by him as a clerk at his drug
store in Englowood. Chief Badenock says
the case is growing more horrible and
mysterious every hour.
The energies of the police who are inves-
tiRating the Holmes case were devoted
this morning to an inquiry into the fate of
Miss Emiline Cigrand of Lafayette Ind,
who is supposed to be his latest victim.
Drs. +. j. and Z. j. Cigrand, second Cous-
ms of the girl, were closeted with Chief
Badenock an Inspector Fitzpatrick all the
morning. They told how their cousin went
to work for Holmes as stcnographer and
that she was afterward believed to have
married a man named Robert e. Phelps,
who was interested in the fake copying
business down town, of which Holmes
was the head.
y careful search of the marriage records
made by Clerk Somonson fails to show
any record of such marriage in Cool,
county II is the belief of Miss CiErGrd' $
brother that Miss CiGrard was murdered
by Holmes nnd that Rupert r. Phelps was
no other than the swiudler under alias.
Certainly no such person was over heard
of in connection with the business down
town except this Holmes himself.
The police claim that still another girl
is missing, but refuse to tell her name.
They admit that she was a Chicago girl.
but beyond this they will say nothing.
Inspector Fitzpatrick showed a photo Of
the Girl who is supposed to be missing to
q reporter of the United Press, but care
fully concealed the name written on the
bottom of it. I'VE have little doubt that
the subject of this photo has gone to join
tho long list of those who fell i'm the
clutches of this fiend. Holiness. said the
inspector Chief Badenock said he would
state positively that the girl was not Kit
tie Kelley, the stcnographer who was
named by morning paper as one Of the
missing.

PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN,
AN ARGUMENT IN FAVOR OF LATE
CONVENTIONS NEXT YEAR.
which Party Shall Lead ?-Frobability of
Violating an Old Precedent Next Year
by tho Republicans Taking the
Initiative.
Washington Cor. Philadelphia Prcss.)

The meetings of the two national COM
mittees for the purpose of fixing the
time for holding the national conventions
next year are creating more or less in
/ tcrcst.
| 1t is known that there have been in
formal conferences between some of the
leaders in both parties, with the idea of
postponing the nominating conventions
until August or September of next year.
| This plan has been advocated on the score
| of economy. National campaigns are in
lCroasing in their Costlness, and the longer
the campaign is i'm operation the greater
the expense BY limiting tho active cam
paign to two months or six weeks it is
argued that many of the costly schemes
that are urged by political workers might
be avoided ana tho expenses materially
cut down.
1t has been rumored that Chairman
Carter and Secretary Hahn, of the repub-
lican national committee, have decided to
call a meeting of that organization in
Washington as early as September It is
thought, however that there must be
some mistake about the call having been
issued, as reported, and the expressed
opinion OF the two gentlemen named is
really tho only basis for the declaration
that the committee will meet so early.

several arguments advanced why an early

most conservative republicans are not in
favor of it. There seems to be a sentiment
in the national committee favorlng an

MOUNTED SKELETONS FOR HOLMES.
4 Man Named Chapman Thinks He Knows
Whore Two NIisslnR Bodies Lie

Chicago July 2S.-The man who last
night informed Police Inspector Fitzpat-
rick that he had mounted four skeletons
for Holmes is Charles Chapman. Two of
these are supposed to he the skeletons of
Mrs. Conner and Annie Williams. Upon
information obtained from Chapman In
spector Fitzpatrick tonight got possession
of the trunk in which Holmes is alleged to
have put the Williams girl, which he said
he threw into the lake. The body was
sent to a house on Wentworth avenue for
Chapman to work on. Chapman was to-
day taken to the Holmes house in Engc-
wood. He pointed out two spots, one in
the northeast corner of the cellar and
another under the sidewalk where, he
claims the police will find beneath the sur
face two bricked graves, and he is of the
opinion that a body may be found in one
or both of them.

AN ALIBI FOR HOLMES.

Philadelphia. July 2S.-An important de-
velopment came to light yesterday in the
Holmes case. 1t was letter written from
Chicago by " II. w. Mischon" to a
Philadelphia friend of Holmes, stating
that the writer knows where Holmes was
at the time the Pietzel girls were alleged
to have been murdered in Toronto. If
this be substantiatcd it will prove an
albi for Holmes in what is considered to
be the strongest of the several murder
charges against him. The letter reads
II have just returned from Europe, and
was surprised when | learned that my
friend Holmes was charged with killing
the children Of Benjamin Pietzel in To
ronto. l hardly think there can be any
truth in the charge. | know of Mr.
Holmes whereabouts at the time the lit
tie girls are said to have been murdered
| can say, without fear of contradictions
that he was not in Toronto or vicinity at
the time the murders are alleged to have
been committed"

BlaCkheadssi

Blackheads, or comedo, as it is called,
is disorder Of the sweat-glands by
which they become distended with yell
lowish or whitish matter. In the center
of the elevations, which are only of
pinhead size, are to be seen the blackish
points which give the disease its
name.
The spots are usually numerous, and
make their appearance mostly on the
face and neck. They run peculiarly
sluggish course, and by their presence
the skin acquires thick, muddy COM
plexion.
Blackheads are almost invariably an
indication Of general debility, as they
are a sign Of a badly working skin.
Their appearance is usually accom-
panied by marked dyspepsia and con-
stipation.
The treatment Of blackheads is
identical with that for toning up the
system in general. Clean out the
bowels, sharpen the appetite, enrich
the blood, and the tendency to the
trouble will be removed or lessened.
Saline aperient waters should be drunk
freely and every attention paid to the
diet.
AS a local treatment the skin should
have frequent applications of water as
hot as can be comfortably borne, to-
gether with plenty of CASTLE soap and
friction. The little black cones may
be easily expelled by means of a watch
key. Stimulating ointments and
washes should be used especially those
containing sulphur, as this substance
is not only a good skin tonic, but is
specially useful in the disorder Of
which we are speaking.
A lotion containing equal parts Of
sulphur, glycerine, carbonate of potash
and alcohol, is valuable remedy, as it
is cleansing and soothing.
Sometimes the swollen sweat-gland
contains a small curled hair, sometimes
a parasite known as Demodex follicu-
forum, which, however, is harmless and
in no way the cause of the disease.
Attention must of course be directed
to any disease of the stomach or bowels
that may exist.-Y Youths Companion.
