Another Unique Way Of Secur'

CHICAGO, Oct. "A special from Key
West, Fla, says: Butcheries on an
awful scale are being perpetrated
nightly in Havana, according to a let
ter received here from one of the most
reliable correspondents in the Cuban
capital.
Every night at police headquarters,
prisoners are taken out and put on the
books as released. These individuals,
in charge of three policemen, are placed
in a boat and start off they don't land
anywhere, but after a while the officers
come back without the prisoners. This
action has been watched night after
night. From the LIST of September to
the 30th, SO prisoners have disappeared
in this way. Five were drowned on
the night of Sept. 26.
No Trace L. Left.
From Cabanas and Moro castle pris-
oners are taken out and drowned in the
same way. The reason they are taken
out of the harbor is on account of the
number of sharks, which get hold of
the bodies and leave no trace.
La Barrera has five men under arrest
on suspicion of putting a dynamite
bomb under a gas main. They are kept
at the police station and tortured to

ployed by Weyler in Barcelona, and it
is said it never failed to produce the
desired effect.

Paris April S.-Although each day
sees some new attempt to create a nov

present nothing that can with confidence
be considered the reigning fashion. 1t is
still impossible to say whether the sack

ralytaste of the Partisan will decide.
Here no fashion is adopted indiscrimi-
nately, the becoming Is always largely
studied, and this is one of the reasons
that French women haze the well de-
served reputation of knowing how to
dress, and, in fact, being better dressed
than the women of any other European
county. BY the term better | do not
mean more extensively or more richly.
/ am speaking from the simple question
of taste.
The subject that interests us most at
present is the material that will be en-
ployed for the half season. as 1t is CALI
ed the couple of months between the
complete change of the seasons. OF this
there is no possibility of a doubt. Mo-
hair. in its silky substantial form, is the
material OF the moment, and this year,
as in preceding years, the tailor-made
costume is the only accepted walking
suit.
Mohair Ito return to the question of

practical costumes and will entirely take
the place of serge As the season adj

ance in all neutral shades, and for sum-

elegant than linon, species of lawn.
These linons are made In cream, rose,

More than one beauty has been ae-

The device for indoor golf consists of

ing lengthy and interesting course
Indoor golf may thus be made quite an,
exciting amusement, but for the sake of
bric-a-brac, lofty and driving strokes
must be tabooed, and the game resolves
itself into putting golf. 1t Is excellent
practice in putting and embraces the
| most important elments of the sport.
| The game is arranged for one or two
persons to play on sides alternately, one
round of the links to be reckoned a match
| unless otherwise agreed beforehand. The
| winner is the gamer of most holes. The
player chosen to start does so from the
teeing ground, marked start" to the
first hole, and continues to play until he
misses getting In. The next player fol-
lows the miss from his starting point,
to be continued until the center hole Is
reached. The side taking the, fewest
strikes to get in wins the hole played for,
each hole to be contested and reckoned
in like manner

or, and, notwithstanding the almost prim-
tive simplicity of the material, constitute
very elegant and rich toilettes.
Blouses will again be popular as the
warm weather approaches, on condition
that they be profusely trimmed with lace

Barring the face to the sun and wind is
a mistake. Unfortunately we are too
often not brought to a realization of this
until the mischief Is DONE Then begins
a hunt for freckle lotions or a remedy
for sunburn. Walk just as much as you
please in the face of the gale; sit in the

drenched with it's rays, but do 1t with
your face well draped In something
thicker than a silk tissue or dotted
tulle.
Some women are annoyed with hairs
growing on their faces. 1 can hardly
blame a woman for using every means
possible for rectifying this trouble. Have
you ever heard of the old-fashioned
mode of getting rid of superfiuous hairs?
although there are women venturesome
enough to try 1t. 1t consists of smuggling
them off Once this process has been
used, 1t is said, they never return"
I saw a plump pair of arms singed
week ago. An overgrowth of hair spoil

one to cling to long sleeves in all her
evening dresses, SO she devised plan.
The arm was lightly passed through a

removed by an application of cold cream.
Avoid all fat and greasy food If you
wish to obtain a clear complexion, and
take plenty of exercise. Gargle the throat
night and morning. to ward off disease
and have the blood in pure state, and
last, but not least, do away with all cos
rinetics, such as rouge, paint, etc.
The refined women Of today do not
make up their faces. The girl stamped
with refined beauty all her own Is the
one who wears her pretty hair In nat
