and feeling that this was her Opportunity
Miss APPEL seized it and started for Cleye-
land al once.
She proved the right person and was
successful in all her undertakings, combiu-
ing illustrated newspaper work with her
regular occupation. She remained two
years and then turned her face toward New
York.
At first came the usual discouragements
attendant on all youthful fortune seekers
She began the same work she had left on
in Cleveland, but that being on an un-
satisfactory plane she determined 10 try her
hand al book cover design.
After that fortune smiled and orders came
in thick and fast, She is now doing book
covers for all the best publishing houses
in New York and living in the greatest
comfort.
Miss Appel asserts that this new pursuit
for women is one that requires tact and
practical common sense, as well as a little
knowledge OF business principles.
My branch needs practical originality" "
she declares. Many designs offered on the
market are good and have artistic merit,
but they cannot be easily applied TO the

the covers are printed Some publishers

This young worker keeps in touch with
the binders as we'll as the publishers and
goes about continually examining the new
cloths and noting the latest novelties along
all lines
This branch Of art is very lucrative

Striking Features of Decorations for

Draperies are distinctly the most impor-
tant OF all features in the new autumnal
decorations for houses, both small and great.

He WAS MIssIMB NORoosIO.

William Reilly and Silas M. Leach, two
checkers at the freight station of the
Central Railroad of New Jersey, while
al work yesterday morning on Pier S no.
uced an object floating between Piers 6
and 6. They got into a rowboat to see
what the suspicious looking object might
be. To their amazement they found it
to be the body of a little boy which had
been in the water for several days, but
was not greatly deconposed. His little
hands were clasped across his heart, and
his little features bore a smile as he lay
on the waves.
They drew nearer to lay hold of the
body and noticed on the waistcoat lapel
Two buttons. One bore the picture of
Mckinley and the other that OF Bryan.
Beneath these was still another, with the
1pscription:-'1 am out for a good time
The men fastened a rope around the
BODY and drew it ashore. 1t was then
taken to Speer's morgue.
Late last evening a little fellow, who
said he was Harry Norcosio, of No. 1347
Avenue A, New York, accompanied by
TIVE men, called at the morgue and look
ed at the corpse. He burst into tears at
the sight of 1t, and aid it was that of
his brother, Missime. The little fellow
was teo overcome with grief to give any
information as to when or how his BROTH

An Infatuated negro, armed with an olo-
fashioned revolver of 42-cahore. WITH
which he made an attempt TO XIII an
other negro, created considerable excite
ment in the Carteret Club house. corner
of Bergen avenue n Church street, last
night about half past eleven.
A number of the members were engaged
at the pool and billiard tables, while 9th
ers were seated in the reading room. No
one noticed the entrance of Andrew Bran
nick, who is employed at the club as a
waiter. The steward of the club, William
Tyree, was busy with his many duties.
Passing through the hall he met Bran
nick. He did not pay any attention to
him, as he thought he was there at the
call of some member.
Tyree entered the parlo- and Brannick
followed him.. Once inside Brannick
walked over and asked Tyree to pay him
his months wages then. 1t is not Gus
tomary to pay the walters before the
first Of the month, SO Tyree refused his
request. This angered Brannick, who
made some remark which angered Tyree.
and the steward ordered him out of. the
clubhouse.
Brannic started off, but when he got as
far as the door of the parlor he turned,
and without a word drew a revolver, and
aiming at Tyree, pulled the trigger.
The shot was heard all through the
building, and the startled member rushed
from all quarters into the parlor. Here
they saw Brannick and Tyree struggling.
Each had a chair in his hands. One of
the other walters caught hold of Bran
ME and Tyree struck hin on the head
with the chair. The man fell. but was
quickly on his feet, n turning ran
out the front door followed by the stew
ard.
In the meantime three young men of the
Fourth Company, Boys Brigade, who
had been meeting in the Bergen Reformed
Church, had heard the noise of the shot
and the scuffle, and one of the numheT,
A. Brewer, ran to the Seventh precinct
station house on Montgomery street.
and notified Sergeant Buckbee of the trou-
Bile. The reserves were ordered out and
hurried to the clubhouse.
When Brannick reached the sidewalk
Tyree was right behind him and clutched
him by the collar. The steward was
about TO give the fellow a beating when
Patrolman Tuite arrived and placed Bran
nick under arrest. He was bleeding from
a wound on the head, inflicted by Tyree's
marked by a trail of blood.
At the station house Brannick refused
to make a statement, This morning jus

The Facts of the Autopsy DO MOI

The police Of the Tenderloin precinct,
New York, took to Bellevilie Hospital
in an ambulance, on September II, a man
whom they found unconscious on Thirty
fifth street, near the East River. AT the
hospital It was discovered that the man
was suffering from a fractured skull. The
police did not know how he had received
his injuries, of if they did they kept the
knowledge to themselves.
Everything possible was dene to save
the poor mans life. hut all to no purpose.
At times he would become conscious for
a few moments and while in a semi-con-
scious state would cry out, Don't hit
me; don't, for Gods sake, use that club"
From those words and the in
which he put up his hands as if to de-
fend himself from being struck by a
club, the hospital authorities became sus-
picious that the man had met with foul
play. As the man sank lower and his
death became certain, they reported the
circumstance to Police Headquarters.
IAN investigation was made and the po-
lice reported that the man. whom they
learned was Charles Shall, a coal HEAVIER,

Emil Ruppel, an employe of the United

suit against the Germania Insurance
Company to recover damages for a fire
which destroyed his household furniture
on September 4.
Mr.. Ruppel's bill of complaint will be
filed today by the law firm of Skinner,
Marnell & FalIon. It states that in Janu-
airy last Ruppel was approached by an
agent of the company and induced to
take out a policy covering his furniture
to the amount of $500. About four o'clock
on the morning of September 4 a fire
broke out in Ruppel's apartments and
his entire property was destroyed. The
fire was of mysterious origin and a rigid
investigation failed to solve it. A small
bottle containing gasoline was found in
the ruins. The company charged Ruppel
with having purchased the day before the
fire a bottle of gasoline and insinuated
that Ruppel was ar incendiary. The COM

MILITARY OUTRAaHS In LEADVILLE
Citizens Arrested by the Provost Mar
shal-Cfy1l Courts Resist.

CHICAGO. Sept. 25, 1ss6.-A special
from Leadville, Co., says:-Major Smith
was appointed Provost Marshal here yes
terday, and followed up his appointment
by making a number of arrests, which
threaten to bring on a clash between the
military and civil authorities.
One of the provost m~arshal's first acts
was to cause the arrest of J. w. Mitchell.
a reporter for the Denver Times there
by establishing a press censorship. 1t
seems that he instructed Mitchell not %
send out a certain piece of news. 1t
was sent as a private note to the paper.
and for this Mitchell was arrested and
the military authorities refuse to release
him. There is already a clash, as it is
asserted martial law has not been for
mally declared, and today the right of the
provost marshal to arrest n hold people
without warrant of law will be tested.
One of the men arrested will be re-
leased on bonds by Judge Overs.
The military officials declare that If he
Is released he will be Immediately ar
rested. If this IS done, a warrant viii
be issued out of Judge Overs Court for
the provost marshal, who will be arrest
ed and brought before the judge and the
prisoner will be produced by a writ of
habeas corpus if necessary. The civil
authorities maintain that their rights are
inviolate as long as the courts remain
open, and if men are to be arrested with
out warrant of law, a declaration of mar
tial law must be made. The courts re-
fuse to countenance the present pro-
ceedingS.
