4 BAD Symptom.

Our dear young friend and neighhor
the Register came out last evening in a
style as fine and fitting as anything
that has been seen in this region for
many q day. 1t has new press that
cost big wad of money, and it has
more superior facilities than it ever
had. Its shape is as greatly improved
as the shape of young woman who
has just bought and put on ten-dollar
corset, and 1t is as pretty and as proud
as peacock. We share in it's artless
joy over itself and we wish it many
happy and prosperous days.
But it is strange that our dear
young friend and neighbor should
have chosen yesterday of all days
to sass" it's dear old friend and
neighbor the Journal and Courier.
1t grieves us to think that our dear
young friend and neighbor should,
right in it's pitch of pride" and right
in the height of it's glory and beauty,
feel moved to stick out graceless and
an impudent tongue at it's dear old
friend and neighbor. 1t is bad symp-
tom and it gives us fear that the Reg
lister is not finding as much room for it's
mentality as it is for it's materiality
We therefore, and because we wish our
dear young friend and neighbor we'll
invite it's attention to a recent surgical
operation which seems to give assur-
ance that no case of swelled head need
hereafter be fatal. A little girl whose
brain had swelled her head and was
pushing it too hard had her head open
ed the other day to give her brain a
chance to properly expand. The opera
ton is described as successful, and the
little girls head will feel better soon.
It our dear young friend and neighbor
continues to indicate that it needs such
treatment we shall urge it to act in
time. We don't want to see an explo-
sion that would shake things worse
than the Westville explosion did, and
damage the new superior facilities
The daily morning journal and courier. [volume] (New Haven, Conn.) 1894-1907, 1896-04-28

vest fastening with gold buttons and
edged with green soutache. The back
OF the bodice was plain, but the sleeve
and the front We're garnished with
white satin tabs ending in lace fans
and held at top and bottom by white
satin buttons. Around the hem of the
skirt there was embroidery of green
silk matching that on the vest.
The belts called for by so many mod
els of jacket bodices are usually high
ly ornamented affairs, but that does
not excuse their use by every one. The
large wasted woman should not don a
narrow white belt with a silver buckle,
and If she does it, she should not pull 1t
so tight that one wonders how in the
world the buckle stands 1t; nor should
she wear it with a dark waist. If she
feels that life Is not worth living unless
she does wear such a belt. then let 1t
appear only briefly, so to speak,at the
back Of the coat. Let it promptly pass
through Sits at the side of the coat and
continue it's progress about the waist
under the coat. If you hate to hide it
so much, you may let the coat be open,
when the effect of the belt will still be
mitigated FLORETTE.

HIS VICTIM HIS PATIENT.
ChIoroformed, Robbed and Made as Com
Portable as Circumstances Allowed.

IOFtADIe as <hAloWSus
[From the Galveston Daily News.]
Emil Lion, a twenty year-old young
man who clerks in the insurance office
of l. Lovenberg, will hereafter be lit
tie more observant of strangers who
stroll into the office. Yesterday morn
ing he went to the Office at about 7:10,
accompanied by a young friend After
Mr. Lion had opened the vault he sat
down for short time and conversed
with his companion until the latter
went out. The mail carrier came in,
and Mr. Lion distributed the mail he
left to the various desks in the office.
Then he returned to the vault. This
vault is built up through the rear of
the long room Behind 1t is an alley
five or six feet wide, and the door into
the vault opens out of this alley, run
ming across the rear end of the room.
While Mr.. Lion was at the vault door
he heard some one enter the office, and,
peeping around the corner, he noted
that a stranger had entered. He in
quired what the visitor wanted, and
the latter said he wanted to see city
map. There was such a map hanging
in the alley just beside the door of the
vault, and the stranger was invited to
come back and inspect 1t. What oc-
Cured thereafter is related by young
Lion about as follows.
while I was at the vault door with
my back toward him, he slapped his
hands around my face with cloth or a
sponge or something In them, and held
them there a moment, until | lost con-
seriousness. Then he went through the
vault, ransacked all the papers, and
took what currency there was and
about fifty dollars in silver. / suppose
he got two hundred and fifty dollars.
He was considerable enough of my COM
fort to carry me into the vault before
he left, fold up towel and put it I'M
der my head, and put a wet cloth over
my face. Then he pushed the door of
the vault almost shut. / suppose 1t
was between fifteen minutes and half
