A Passion for Purple,

The rage for things purple Increases
daily. From purple hats we have gone.
to purple gowns and purple gloves
we even see tints Of purple in dainty
parasols; all we have left are the shoes
and lingerie not et#inYaded.
As fetching and wholly allurilg as
the purple hats are, not every one who
will may wear them; it is an Infinitely
trying color, horribly unbecoming to a
pale face, but making the pink checked
girl bloom like rose. The astute
milliner schemes to alleviate the sharp

MISS RRnnALL,s SUDDEN DEATH.
Stricken Down While Guest of Friends
ni NInhnnnN CITY.


A profound exemplifcation of the doubtful
tenure of life is furnished by the death Of
Miss May Lilly Beddall. who died shortly
after Saturday midnight while a guest of
friends at Mahauoy City. The deceased was
16 years and months old aud the eldest
daughter of George w. Beddall, the North
Main street hardware merchant. Her death
is a severe blow to her parents, her mother
being almost prostrated by grief The cause
of death was of apoplectic nature and is
given as paralysis of the brain.
Miss Beddall left town early Saturday
morning to attend the odd Fellows cele-
bration at NIahauoy City and during the day
was guest of a daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
d. NJ. Hopes. at 2O3 East Centre street.
Misses Beddall and Hopes were about the
town all day and evidently derived much
enjoyment Atno time during the period
did the former complain of feeling i'll and at
supper time she ate heartily. At about $50
d. m. Miss Beddan first complained. She
was i'll at the stomach and was disposed to
vomit. but the attack was so sudden and
severe that before she could be thus relieved
she lapsed into unconscionsness. Mr.. Hopes
and his family became very much alarmed
aud summoned Drs. Samuel Z, Wertman and
George f. Brendle. At the same time they
sent a message to Mr.. and Mrs Beddall. who
were at their home here and lost no time in
responding to the summons. The physicians
resorted to every means that medical science
could suggest in the case, but all efforts

metallic ceiling, of bright and varied colors,

last Wednesday and went to Wilkesbarre. As
an advantage to the police authorities his
departure was kept quiet, but since the
parties who kept up a hot trail have failed to
bring matters to the focus expected the
matter has leaked out more publicly
The most serious charge against Saba is
made by firm of Philadelphia cigar dealers
Their agent sold him Sis.sO worth of cigars
and he gave a check on the First
National Bank of town that proved worth
less. At the time he gave the check Saba
also gave an order to the same agent for S232
worth of cigars and the generous agent gave
Saba in advance a gold watch to which the
latter would have been entitled as a apremium
upon the filling of the order. Saba has taken
the watch with him to exhibit to his rela-
