Did you ever notice the constant changes
which take place in the show windows of
the III. w. Ladd Co.? / do. Seldom do
pass this fine emporium OF the dry goods
trade but that i take notice of the afore-
said windows. Everything seems to be
SO tastefully arranged and always OF
such excellent quality. One day
1t Will be silks, and another wool chaliis
or plaids. Then there will be sealsl.i in
capes, in one window marked at reduced
prices, and great bundles of blankets in
the other mammoth show window
on the corner. Inside the visitor will
note peculiar air OF refinement
and exclusiveness pervading the whole
establishment, together with courteous
good cheer which places you at once at
ease. Ii seems TO be q pleasure for the
ladies and gentlemen in the employ
OF the ii. w. Ladd Company to
show goods even If no purchase
Is made. The special inducements offered
to visit the dressmaking department,
which is in charge OF that acknowledged
leading modiste, Madame Jeanne Carr is
being taken advantage Of more than ever.
When 4-ply linen collar and pair OF
cuffs can be obtained for nine cents each,
1t Is no wonder that the men about town
are stocking up and saying nothing about
it. Messrs. Wood d Watson, 30 West

to 10 cents in 80 days.

Care of Gowns,

In no way can cC0nOElv be better shown than in the care of one s clothes. To buy gCwn, to expend care and thought upon its construction, is not all It must be kept fresh, its graceful lines preserved and its shape unaltered. When bodice is taken off, it should be hung by the loops at the armholes on two hooks in the wardrobe. The skirts of walking dresses should be shaken and then wiped around the bottom with a lampened towel as soon as they are taken off. They also should be hung on two hooks, some distance apart, and no dust allowed to turk in the folds.
 Evening bodices should be carefully folded and laid away in drawer. If there are trimmings of loops of ribbon, little pad should be put ill each loop The skirts of summer gowns, when of soft or transparent materials, should never be hung up. They should be care fully folded, the creases smoothed out by the hand and laid upon q broad shelf or ill drawer. They become hopelessly limp and stringy if allowed to hang. The skirts of gingham and lawn gowns should be frequently pressed off, when they will look as well as new. Many a gown of gingham and percale has been sent to laundress when it needed noth- ing more than ironing to be as fresh as ever. Washing spells most summer gowns, and a careful woman will wear a gingham for at least two seasons with out impairing its freshness.-Vogue.

Graceful Walking.

It appears that Newport society girls have formulated rule for graceful walking, which pedestrians will please copy if they wish to get on in this world. An intelligent writer thus de
 scribes this step: "One of the cardinal points" she says, 'is that the advanc- ing foot should be placed long way ahead of the other. so as to make a very long step, almost a stride, and to keep this stride graceful the foot that is left behind lifts itself to the toe and takes a right angle swing. The toe must always be set down first, or the body will sink too heavily at each, like the step of a fat woman. The pointed toed shoe is preferred if long enough, as it cuts the air and lends elasticity to the foot. !" There! This is uncommon sense, but the Newport pedestrian always walks just that way. Therefore let every girl who can forsake her wheel long enough to walk at all try it. She will feel she is in the swim right of, for Miss Amy Bend and Miss Julia Grant, besides half a dozen other fair ones now doing this swan step act, are declared to be "beau- tiful walkers.

 WASHINGTON, Aug. 6.-Surgeon Gen eral Wyman of the Marine hospital service has ordered that q number of tents be sent from the detention camp at Waynesville, Ga., to Eagle Pass, Tex, for use by tho colored refugee smallpox patients in quar- antine at the latter place. The federal au- thorities are also supplying guards through the customs service to keep the negroes from scattering and spreading the disease Advices received by Dr. Wyman indi- cate that II new cases have developed since Saturday. making 56 in all. There have been three deaths. Dr. Wyman has requested Consul General Williams at Ha- vana to notify the captains of vessels bound for ports in the state of South Caro- lima to proceed via quarantine station at Black beard's island for inspection and in order to secure the medical officers certif- icate of pratique.
 This" says Dr. Wyman in his letter, twill prevent the expense of returning to that quarantine station before being ad- mitted to entry. This applies to vessels either with sickness on board or coming from an infected port.'

WITH her accustomed robber methods England has seized upon the little island of Trinidad, few miles of the coast of Brazll, claiming it on account of discovery two hundred years ago. The island had been set down on the official charts as be- longing to Brazil. It is not so very valu- able, but it must be rather humiliating to the Brazilians to have the British flag fiaunting.in their faces on their own rrop- erty and within few leagues of their capi- tai. It appears to us that this would be a proper time for the administration at Wash ipgton to enforcs the Monroe doctrine. It should not be a difficult matter to deter mine whether the title of England tc the island is good. If she has no title. her ac- cupation of the little island would be a palpable infraction of the great doctrine laid down by President Monroe and in which every true American takes b pride.

Suffrage and the Home.

Mrs. Mary Seymour Howell lately contributed to the women S edition of a paper in Brockport, N. Y, an able ar
 ticle on equal suffrage. After sketching the work of the pioneers ill the move ment she continued: "With such good company it is well to join the Daugh- ters of the Revolution. Do not believe the lie that these Daughters will break up homes. They will make homes more sacred T enduring. Do not think men and w. will cease to love when wo- men ;;;r : z. The old love story will go on as l.. .,s the great world clock ticks time away. Who would have the senti- ment and beauty of our lives taken away?

rrimmiue. For summer pod,ces,

Lace, ribbon and bead decorations are 0i1 noted on the bodices, while empire capes, epaulets, vandyke arrangements and various other designs are shown for their adornment, writes Isabel A. Nal lon in The Ladies' Home Journal. As bead trimmings are quite expensive, it is s,ell to know that there may be got ten, in tho large shops, strings of beads and spanglea to be applied to ribbon or piece material, so that the economical woman may form fashionable garni- ture without spending much money. Satin ribbon is more generally seen than either velvet or grosgrain, and the reasons for it's popularity are not only that it ties easier, but that it contrasts more effectively with the fabric proper. Stripes and plaids in silk are fancied for plain bodices, while if plain color is used it is given an elaborate air by it's trimming. Cotton blouses frequently have double rutfie down the front for their only trimming, as it is conceded to be in best taste to develop them sim ply.

SHATTERED WITH BLOOD.
Mute Evidence Discovered In Holmes Cas-
 tie In Chicago.

tie In Chicago.
 CHICAGO, Aug. 6.-Human blood has been found in Holmes castle, spattered from one room to another Science aided Detectives Fitzpatrick and Norton where other agencies had failed, and uncovered more startling evidence against H. H. Holmes and Pat Quinlan than has before been found in the castle.
 There was found in the castle by the detectives and medical expert trail of blood leading from the doorway of the dining room of Mrs. Julia l.. Connor to the sink in the same room from there in to the dark chamber, where she and Pearl formerly slept, and from there to the in side of the door opening into the bath room, where tho secret trapdoor was; on tho baseboard ofthat room above the trapdoor and down onto the secret stair case to the false elevator shaft and thence into the basement. The blood was human. A clot of blood mixed with human hair was found.
 Also from the debris in the dark cham Der, where mother and child slept, there were taken some child's underwear stained with blood; pair of brown diagonal trou- sers, stained at the bottom with blood; i; the pocket of woman's dress, blood soaked; handkerchief which had been used to wipe up blood with, and various clothes and parts of underclothing soaked with blood.
 These articles were examined micro scopically at the time of their discovery, and the test made then and there as to the stains and blotches being human blood. With but one or two exceptions, the experts say, they were all marked with human blood. A rope was found in the dark chamber, and in its knots blood was discovered.

CHINESE BARBARITIEs.
Victims of the Kucheng Massacre Were
 Turned and Speared.

Victims of the Kucheng Massacre Were
 Burned and Speared.
 LONDON, Aug. 6.-The correspondent of The Times at Shanghai says that the mis- sionaries killed at kueheng were mur dered by an organized band of so of the vegetarians. The correspondent says: 1.-The ladies begged for their lives, prom ising to yield their property and valua- blcs, but the leader of the band shouted out his orders to kill them outright. A corrected list of the victims is as follows:
 "Rev. Mir. and Mrs. Stewart, Miss Nell lie Saunders and Miss Lena Irish, who were burned in the house. Miss Stettie Newcombe was speared and thrown down a precipice. Miss Marshall had her throat cut. Miss Gordon was speared in the head Miss Topsy Saunders was speared. Master Herbert Stewarts S skull was fractured and the brain exposed. Lena Stewart died from shock.''
 At the Chinese legation here it is stated that no information has been received re- garding the massacre of missionaries near Kucheng beyond the meager statement that five persons have been killed or wounded at Wha- Sang.
 The Chinese magistrate at Kucheng waited for the completion of the massacre before appearing upon the scene there. There are 1000 soldiers at Kucheng. It is therefore absurd to say that the authori- ties could not have stopped the massacre, which was evidently carefully and secret ly organized.
 The American mission at Shashi, near Hankow, has been destroyed, and the mis- sionaries are fugitives. The American consul has advised the missionaries in ad- jacent provinces to retire.
 Some of the speakers at Mondays meet ing declared that they have lost confidence in the diplomats at Peking, United States Minister Denby and British Minister N. R. O'Conor being especially denounced. The Americans desire a special commission under United States Consul Jernigan to inquire into the outrages in ze-Chuen. Minister O'Conor has assented to this.

Harmless Internal Machine Sent to Police

 NEW YORK, Aug. 6.-Some would be joker tried to send a sawdust internal ma chine to Theodore Roosevelt. The little wooden box in which it was contained did not get farther than the inspection depart ment of the general postoffice, when Miss Daisy James, the clerk there, opened the package to see if the contents were really merchandise-fourth class matter.
 Crack! went a match as she slid back the cover of tho box. Smoke and flame simultaneously appeared. The alarmed Miss Daisy blew out the match. In due time, Acting Chief Conlin being in- formed, two detectives came and took the fake to the bureau of combustibles. It was examined and laughed at.
 The box, wrapped in brown paper, was inches long, inches wide and l # inch es deep. Inside was a shotgun cartridge packed with innocuous sawdust. Three matches were set, heads up, in circle, designed to ignite by friction against a strip of emery paper on the under side of the cover. There was tallow fuse, sprin- kled with a few grains of gunpowder, lead ing into a hole in the cartridge.

 Arriving at Versailles and becoming still more intoxicated, he went to the Woodford hotel, engaged a room and went to sleep. Shortly after 4 o'clock he came down stairs and had some words with James Rodenbaugh, who was a cripple. The dispute led to blows, and both men drew pistols.
 They fired at short range. The bullet from Lane's weapon entered young Ro- denbaugh's neck and passed through his jugular vein. Before he, fell he fired at Lane, the bullet making a slight flesh wound in his left side near the heart.
 H. c. Rodenbaugh rushed forward. As he opened the door leading into the hall, where the trouble originated, Lane fired at him, the ball striking Rodenbaugh in the mouth. The shock turned the old man partially around, and Lane fired again, the bullet lodging in Rodenbaugh's spine Rodenbaugh fell across his sons corpse He will Gie

IT is hoped that sufficient evidence will be forthcoming to convict H. H. Holmes, the insurance swindler and murderer, now in jail in Philadelphia. of at least one of the many murders with which he stands charged. There is little doubt that Holmes s an inhuman monster who made murder his trade and the sooner his career is cut short with the rope. the better it will be for the country.
