He Called Her Names and She Thought He
Ought to He Underground.

William Ashton Of 375 Bleecker street ran
into Jefferson Market Court late on Friday
afternoon and begged Magistrate Crane to issue
a warrant for his wife, who had attempted to kill
him. When he became calm he explained that
he and his wife, Annie. had two piano stores,
one at 375 and the other at 1897 Bleecker street.
They had lived together over tho store at 1915
Bleecker street until recently, when they quar-
relied, and Ashton went to live over the store at
1877, of which he was the manager. Mrs. Ashton
looked after the other store.
Three days ago, Ashton said, his wife had sent
out circulars TO his customers,t telling them that
he was a drunkard and had not credited on his
books the persons who had paid him for pianos.
So many persons called on him on Friday after
noon that he decided TO visit his wife and find
out what she meant by sending out the circu-
lars. The moment he opened the door his wife
drew a revolver from q drawer aud fred a shot
at him. He lodged down behind a piano. While
he was hiding there three more shots were fred
at him by his wife. Then lie ran out OF tho store
and to court.
Magistrate Crane said he would issue . sum-
mons for Mrs, Ashton which her husband could
serve. but Ashton refused to risk his life again,
so court o%ftioeEs carried the summons to Mrs.
Ashton yesterday morning, She said that Ash
toms story was true and added;
" wish l had killed him, He's no good and
ought TO be- dead anyway"
When his wife MAS brought to court Ashton
said that she and her relatives were conspirlng
to get his business away from nim. Mrs. Ashton
denied this, but admitted shooting at her hus-
band, She said he had come into tho store and
called her vile names, and accused her OF
intimacy with other men,
ale ought TO be dead, Judge" she said to the
magistrate. I'm sorry now, though, hat l
shot at him"
Ashton admitted that he mad called his wife
names. and had said she was not true u him.
Eventually the couple promised TO try to get
along together, and Magistrate Crane allowed

The new "tub" shades may be made of white or tinted heavy, plain paper or light card board, cut to shape, and the two ends fastened together with small wire clamp such as is used in offices to hold

They have to be used on wire frames on the lamps, like other shades, of course, but those of the right shape and size can now be had as cheap as any. Indeed, very little in genuity will enable anyone to make the wire frame herself. These little lamp shades may be made as pretty as de- sired by little painting in water col ors, pin-tracing or India ink outline sketching.

What They Must Do and Wear to He Per. fectly Up-to-Dste.
 Etiquette governing the wedding of Q widow has been recently reorganized, and, temporarily at least, is finding high vogue among certain great ladies who are making second matrimonial ventures. The widows engagement ring is now q peridot, which in reality is an Indian chrysolite and deep leaf green ill color. The peridot ring is set about with diamonds; and when it arrives the lady gives her first engage ment-ring to her eldest daughter, and her wedding-ring to her eldest son.
 One week before the wedding a state- lv luncheon is given to the nearest and dearest of the old friends of the bride to-be. After the engagements an- nuoncement she appears at no public functions. At the altar her dress may be of any subdued shade of satin. To make up for the absence of veil and orange-blossoms, profusions of white lace trim the skirt and waist of tho bridal gown en secondes noces. Even the bonnet is of white lace, and ths bouquet is preferably of white orchids; and up the aisle the lady goes, hand in hand with her youngest child, no mat. ter whether it is a boy or girl. The little one wears an elaborate white cos. tune, holds the brides bouquet, and precedes the newly married pair to the church door. Where there is a large family of children and a desire on the widows part for trife more display than is usually accorded on such oc- casions. all of her daughters, in light gowns and bearing big bouquets, sup pert their mother at the altar.
 An informal little breakfast now fol. lows the ceremony. Such breakfast is scarcely more than a light, simple luncheon, served from the buffet, wound up by wedding cake and a toast ing posset; but the bride of second marriage does not distribute cake nor her bouquet among her friends. Her carraige horses do not wear favors, either, though shoes and rice can be freely scattered in her wake; and, to the comfort and economy of her friends, she does not expect anything elaborate in the way of wedding gifts.-Demor. est's Magazine.
