Don't carry a chiffon parasol when
shopping This looks as if you hadn't
any other and must tote your ripper

out of place.
Don't buy pink, lavender or blue
sunshade, plain or in stripes, if it is
the only one you afford for the sea-

Don't imagine that your umbrella

After studying frocks until l know

woman's hair is indeed the browning
glory of her personality and arranged
prettily or the reverse, it can make or
mar the most elaborate get up. And
word as 10 hair in general, Don't
you care whether it is the very latest
fashion in Paris, as we are told if your
forehead is high don't comb your hair
straight back. 1t takes an exception
ally pretty woman, with an exception
ally pretty forehead, to wear her hair
that way and look well.
But if you keep to the pretty and
becoming mode Of parted locks, don't,
oh don't, indulge in 'curl in the
middle of your forehead"
The poem is very cute and quaint,
the style is the most bourgeois"
thing in the world.
Something over q year ago some
Washington paper mentioned the fact
that swell New York girl did her
hair in that manner, and that it would
probably become very popular. 1t

and is not over it yet. But it has
never been copied by the best people,
and looks common wherever seen.

"bolrgeois" way of arranging the HAIR

Just then. That is the most hide0us,
the most vulgar, the most tasteless
fashion yet. The straight bang was
not as bad. Even the dreadful water

In the first place it is bad because it
is always getting uncurled and hang.
ing in the popular golden fashion,
"down Der back"
And the trouble is to keep it from
coming uncurled; woman has to
curl it So tight that it looks as much
like fur on feathers as it does like hair,
and then it has cheerful habit Of
staying tightly cnrled on one side and
hanging down in strings on the other.
The woman who wears a neck
fringe is the same one who curls her
front hair so tight that it looks like
what they put in mattresses. !,
She is also the one who either
draws her hair tightly back over her
ears, or else cuts it off quite short
there and frizzes it.
What surprises one is that she 7can

"A Remarkable Astronomical Fact.

NEW YORK, April 12.-Good Fri day is being observed with the usual solemn and impressive services in the Episcopal and Roman Catholic Churches. According to numerous students of astronomy, the day is a remarkable one from an astronom- ical poiat of view. It is claimed that the heavenly bodies which eravitatc around the sun are in ex- actly the same position they occu- pied in the Armament on the day that the Savior died upon the cross, and that this is the first time such a condition has prevailed since that memorable day. This, however, is antagonized by other men of note in zthe astronomical world, and there has been quite pointed discussion of late between the two elements.

damaged or entirely destroyed by fire while in transit in the United States mail cars, but even a casual reader of the reports issued each year by the General Superintendent of the Railway Mail Service, cannot fail to be impressed with the serious inconvenience, and often distress, caused by fire in postal cars. An analysis of the list of casualties con- tained in these reports for the years 1893 and 1894, respectively, shows that the oil lamps used for lighting the ears are more frequently the sources of fires than the car stoves. In the report for 1893, six cases of fire resulting in destruction to the mails are ascribed to the oil lamps, and only four to the car stoves, while in the report for 1894 seven fires are traced to the oil lamps and but five to the stoves.
 Even in the absence of fire, the amount of mail matter seriously damaged by being saturated with oil from the lamps is far greater than that destroyed by fire, 43 cases of this character being cited in 1893 and 30 in the report of 1894.

him to grow Respondent, and that he has been gloomy for some time He was at one time in his father employ, but left it several years ago and since that time rhe relations of the two have not been entirely cor dial.
 So far as is known the relations existing between Isaacs and his wife were pleasant.
 Isaaes is a cripple. Several years ago he was badly burned in escaping from a fire in his fathers house, and since then his right hand has been useless. His left eye is sightless, and his face distigured by the scares left by the flames. Much of the hair is gone from his head as well, and as a consequence, he has been something of physical sufferer.
 Mir. and Mrs. Meyer left for st. Louis yesterday afternoon to cheer their daughter in this, her hour of grief. A telegram was received here this morning stating that Mr. Isaacs was still alive and improving.

A CLOSE CALL.
Mexican Charlie Shoots Deputy Constable
 Carr Through the Ear.

At an early hour this morning Deputy Constable George Carr, rode out to the home of Mexican Charlie, who lives out two miles of the city, to serve a warrant on him charging him with horse stealing. He found the Mexican and arrested him and he ex- pressed 8 willingness to come to the city with the officer as soon as he could get his coat. The officer al- lowed him to step inside to get his coat, and before he knew it, his prs ofler and Il friend who was standing near, opened fire with revolvers on the officer. One ball from the pistol of the Mexican went through the officers left ear. Officer Carr pulled his gun and attempted to defend himself but his gun refused to work, and lie was compelled to beat a nasty retreat, leaving his horse and the one stolen from Mr. Miller in the hands of the Mexican and his confed- crate.
 Carr came to the city as fast as his legs would carry him and posse composed of Constables Philpot, Carr and Policeman Goode secured horses and started in pursuit of the horse thieves and would-be murderers.

A ST. LOUIS TRAGEDY.
In Moment of Dependency MT. +. F
 Isaaes Tries to End His Life.

The St Louis Chronicle of Friday gives the following account of q de- plorable tragedy that occurred in St. Louis Thursday. It will be remem- bered that Mr. Isaaes is the gentle man who only a few weeks ago married Miss May Meyer, the bril- liant young daughter of Mir. and Mrs. Gabe Meyer, of this city. sThe Croni- cle says;
 Benjamin Frank Isaacs, 2, of 4l54 West minister, attempted suicide Thursday morning by shooting him. self in the left temple. The bullet ranged downward and lodged in the jaw, infiicting a wound that is seri- ous, but not necessarily fatal.
 Isaacs is a son of J. L. Isaacs, the wall paper man, and has been mar ried but five weeks. He is q designer of interior decorations, and was em- ployed by Charles Daurenheim. His wife lived in Pine Bluff, Ark, where her father is in business.
 When Isaacs fired the shot he was alone in his bedroom, his wife having heard the report of the pistol, and rushed in, found Isaaes half out of bed with the blood gushing from the wound in his temple. The smoking revolver lay on the floor, and Isaacs was groping for it with his hand.
 Dr. Hackley, 4157 Olive, was called, and after examining tee wound ex- pressed the belief that the patient would recover.
 Just why Isaacs attempted his life is not known. It is said, however, that financial troubles have caused

An Enterprising Man.

This morning Secretary Tankersley of the Manufacturers League, re- ceiyed a letter from Mir. E. P. Ladd, q manufacturer of shingles at Sherrill, in which was enclosed a check for $25, which that gentleman contri- butes to the bonus fund to secure the match factory for Pine Bluff.
 Mr. Ladd does not own an inch of ground in this city neither, has he blocks of houses here for rent; yet he sees the benefit such an enterprise would be to the city and has con tributed most liberally to get it here. He did not do like some of our larg- est real estate owners refuse, and in surly manner remark: "No one ever gave me q cent when I came to Pine Bluff and invested my money, and l will not contribute of my Ifneans to bring others here."
 The action of some of our largest property owners in refusing to sub scribe to the bonus fund, is unworthy of them, and shows that they have not given the matter care ful consideration, or else they would realize that they would be the ones to be the most benefited when indus trial enterprises are established here, and surely they do not wish profit at the expense of others more enter prising.

Denied by the Vatican.

ROME, April 12.-So wide circula- ton has been given to the story that the College of Cardinals a majority of the body was in favor of abolishing the obligation of celebacy for the secular clergy of the Catholic church and that the Supreme Dontiff was also in favor of this radical move, that it is not improbable that an of ficial denial, addressed to the faith ful everywhere, may be issued from the Vatican. Those originally re- sponsible for the report, however, insist that it was based upon the substantial grounds which may be made public, should the denial in question be forthcoming.
