Capurro's Murderer Has
Vanished.
The Police Think That the Notorious
Kin Kin Has Fled From the
State and Is in Italy.

The murder of old Augustine Capurro.
early one evening last MAY, created seq
sation in the Latin quarter that lived
longer than sensations generally live. The
old porter was stabbed while playing
cards in saloon at the corner of
Lafayette place and Green street
by MerIO Felice, vegetable gar
dener. known to the denizens of the
quarter as Kin Kin. Felice had quarreled
with the old man on a trivial matter, and
after stabbing him skunk out of the saloon
and disappeared. If he had dissolved into
thin air bis Disappearance would not have
been more complete. The police sought for
him far and near, but were unable to find
a clew until few DAYS ago.
When Kin Kin" fed from justice be

and the police were confident that he,
having no further use for the property,
would try TO sell il. aud in this they were
right. The murderer had friend named
Alessandro Chipari. who has truck"

and SHINE time ago wrote from the
southern part of the State where he was
hiding, that he would give the gardener his
share of the Alameda property in payment
of the debt. The murderer inclOsed bill
of sale aud last week Chipari called upon
the other owners of the Alameda land and
exhibited his claim. They had no proof
of the genuneneNs of the bill of sale and
not only refused to part with the fugitive
property. but Informed the police. who.
thinking that Chipari knew where Felice
was hidden, ook him into custody.
Chipari told Captain Lees that he re-
ceived the bill of sale from Antonio
Fegoni, San Diego Hotel. Fourth street,
San Diego. The captain wired to the Chief
of Police of San Diego to ascertain If there
was any truth in the statement and also if
Merlo Felice and Fegoni were not one and
the same maU.
Last night he received a letter in reply
to his kilograms that there was no such
hotel in San Diego and neither Antonio
Fegoni nor Merlo Felice was known there.
This confirmed the captains suspicious
that Chipari was not telling the truth and
that be knew where Felice was hiding
himself.
Chpari was released from custody yes

hopelessly, irretrievabIy and udrelenting-
ly in love with any lady, either
young, middle-aged or superannuated,
and if so do you think that she will
consent to marry you, or will it be a
case OF bankruptcy Of the heart? Do you
possess either constitutional or acquired
inclination or propensity for falling in
love, and. If so, how many times have you
been in that condition? Do you enter this
association voluntarily and with an earnest
desire to promote and foster the interest
and welfare thereof?
The establishment of the association
has been n0ised abroad and meets with
the hearty approval of the young ladies.
They claim, though, that the effect OF
the association will be to bar them from
securing the man of their choice,
and request that membership in the
association be extended so as to admit
young ladies that are frugal aud as anxious
to forward the cause of the association as
the young men. Several letters from
other cities have been received by MIR.

Ogden, Utah. He is very anxious to Sc
cure copy Of the constitution of the De-
trolt association, as he thinks an organize
ton of the kind in that city Of the wild
West would prove boon to the young

The bachelors that are mem ers OF the
association have been the butts OF many
jokes from those not thinking of
entering the gates of matrimouy in the
same way, and are taking great pains to
keep their names from appearing in the
newspapers, but the names OF the officers

Detroit and other large cities of Michigan.

AN ALARMING STATEMENT
CONCERNING WOMEN.
HOW BAD HABITS ARE FORMED.

The Men York Tribune says: The habit
of taking headache powders is increasing
to an alarming extent among great num-
Der Of women throughout the country.
These powders as their name indicates, are
claimed by the manufacturers to be a positive
and speedy cure for any form of headache.
In many cases their chief ingredient is
morphine: opium, cocaine or some other
equally injurious drug having tendency to
deaden pain. The habit of taking them is
easily formed, but almost impossible to
shake off, Women usually begin taking
them to relieve a raging headache and soon
resort to the powder to alleviate any little
pain. or ache they may be subjected to. and
finally like the morphine or opium fend,
get into the habit of taking them regularly,
imagining that they are in pain If they
happen to miss their regular dose"
In nine cases out of ten, the trouble
is in the stomach and liver. Take a
simple laxative and liver tonic and
remove the offending matter which
deranges the stomach and causes the
headache. DR.. Pierce's Pleasant Pei
