SOCIALISTIC SOUP
International Cigarmakers Object to
Socialistic Delegates

DETROIT, Mich, Sept. 29.-Todays
session witnessed the beginning of a
fight between the socialistic and anti
socialistic faction in the cigarmakers
international convention, the occasion
being the seating of Delegate David
Hemerdinger of New York. Objection
was raised to him on the ground that
he was not actively engaged in trade,
but it soon cropped out in the debate
that followed that the socialists were
opposed to him on account of his anti
socialistic tendency Delegate Bennett
of New York led the opposition to Hem
erdinger in a fiery address. AT noon a
vote was taken on the question, which
resulted in the complete rout of the So
cialists. The delegate was seated, his
opponents having only about fifty of the
245 delegates present.

pressed his desire to make confession

Mrs. Annie Hall Supposed to Have Com.
mitted Suicide
Unhappy Domestic Relations Cause
Her to Leave a Farewell Note
and Drop From Sight.

Mrs. Annie Hall is missing, has left
ending her life because Of domestic trou-
bles, but whether or not she has carried
her threats into execution remains to
be seen. Since o'clock Sunday morning
she has not been seen or heard of and
by this time her body may be beneath
the dark waters OF Westlake or lying III
some secluded spot suicide.
Mrs. Hall is the wife of Sam Hall. a
callman in the fire department, attach
ed to the engine company at the house
OF hook and ladder No. l. She is about
40, he so years of age. For a long time
couple. nave rot got along well to-
gether and of late have not lived to-
81 t4tcf. 2ADout muntn ago Mrs. Hall
engaged a room with a Mrs. Applegate
at No. 336 Clay street. Her husband
came to the house once or twice, but
never slept there nor renamed long
about the place. Mrs. Hall seemed to
feel his Indifference keenly and to Mrs.
Applegate contided her troubles.
When her month was up and rent for
the room became due Mrs. Hall told her
landlady that her husband had refused
TO contribute to her support any longer,
claiming that he was deep in debt and
had told her that they had better part
for good and ali. AS she had no money
Mrs. Hall made an arrangement where
by she was to have her room and board
i'll return for her services as housemaid.
She was very respondent over her
troubles and seemed to love her husband
dearly feeling keenly his desertion. AT
different times she spoke of committing
suicide and once said that she would
drop out of sight and give Sam a good
scare. This may be what she has done.
On saturday forenoon she went out
and was gone till p. M, when she came
back and went to her room, refusing to
come out for supper. At she went out
again and returned at 10. somebody
coming home with her. Shortly after
ward she went out once more and did
not get back until l a. m. At this time
she spoke to Mrs. Applegate ard made
some remark about the hour. Mr.. APP
pleSate works at night and when he
came home at 5 o'clock in the morSing
noticed the door of Mrs. Halls room
ajar an unusual thing.
When Mrs. Applegate arose an hour
or two later she knocked at the door,
and receiving no response. entered. Ly-
ing upon the table was note scrawleu
on the back of an envelope, reading:,
Il am gone. l can't stand this life
My husband, Sam Hall, is responsible
for my actions. Signed by his wife.
ANNIE HALL"
This was all, but it left much to be ap-
pretended. Whether the poor woman
has ended her life or not is unknown, but
she has not been seen since. Hall is her
second husband and the discrepancy in
their ages may have had something to
do with the GOODNESS that arose between
them. The message left by the woman
was taken to the engine house, but as
Hall was not in it was left for him. An
effort was made to find him last night
but was unsuccessful. so that his side
of the story could not be learned. The
police were notified but could find no
trace of the missing woman.

FEWER JACKETS TO MATCH.
While there are a great many cloth

While there are a great many cloth
costumes this winter lnauc v Mtla
to match, there seems to be a decided
tendency towards Independent skirts
and coats. For a. very short time the
fur trimmed waists. which are all the
rage. Will be worn without coats; but
in this climate cold weather comes all at
once, and then heavy outside wraps are
necessary The velvet, cloth and fur
garments will then have their season,
ard will be suitable for al, gowns. And
we have become so accustomed to seeing
odd colors combined that coat and skirt
of utterly diverse shades will not ap-
pear garish or conspicuous. AS yet the
light tans and blacks are the most fash
ionable; but green, which will be worn
probably more than any other color
this autumn and early winter, viii call
out green coats. Two shades of green
are not good together unless they har-
monize perfectly, which they rarely do
and black coat with green skirt will
be found far preferable. Another point
to be thought of when buying winter
coat is that the heaviest is not always
the warmest; well woven light weight
cloth is a great deal warmer than one
that weighs twice as much and is of
harsh, cheap material.-Harper's Ba-
Zar.
