The complexion specialist entreats
veil-wearers thus: whatever you do.

The conservative dame says: "Never

jaundiced appearance to their wear.

AGAINST THE CHANGE.
Opposition to the Proposed Reduction
of the Hours of Labor.

Boston, March 1.-The committee on
labor today continued the hearing on the
bill reducing the hours Of labor from 5S
to 81 hours "A week. The entire morning
was taken up by two witnesses, both of
whom appeared in opposition 20 the pro-
posed change. :. Il. Chase Of Fall River
said the competition of the southern
states was more than the local manufac-
turers could stand and additional labor
legislation would be the last straw. He
called the attention of the committee TO
the fact that the southern factories were
working all of the time, while the estab-
lishments in NowEngland were requently
Obliged to shut down. The spindles of
the south had increased ~ per eeftt, in the
past five years while the spindles in New
England had increased only per cent.

OVER " HARD ENDS"
Case Involving Them Now 0a Trial Before
Judg: Rogers.

Before Judge Rogers and a jury was tried
today the suit of Attorney Frank W. Tilling-
hast against James Campbell. Mr.. Tillnghast
was the assignee of the Kingston Woolen com
pany and Campbell bad had some dealings
with that concern, and il owed him some
money. This the assignee ascertained when
he made a demand on Mr.. Campbell for GER
taiu "hard ends" which he wanted ms assets
Of the company. Mr.. Campbell refused TO
give them up, but the assignee had oppor-
tunity 10 sell this stuff to Fred G.. Bliss OF
Norwich, Conn, at four cents pound. Mr..
Campbell finally agreed TO the sale Of the stuff
when Mr.. Tillinghast agreed that the pro-
ceeds of the sale shonft remain in Mr.. Camp
bells hands until the latters claims against
the wooden company were adjusted.
Mr.. Bliss looked over the hard ends" and
bought them, accepting sight draft for the
payment OF the bill. There was about S5.s5
worth of bagging that Mr.. Lliss wanted an al
lowance on and the full bill was SlS9.57 MIR.
Campbell would not allow for the bags and
Mr.. Bliss claims six bags of the stuff sent
him were not 'hard ends" but "hyings, "
and very poor ''nyings' at that The value
of the six bags, bad they been "hard ends, "
would have been S27. Mr.. Campbell also re-
fused to make M the difference i'm this i'm
tance, so Mr.. Tillinghast paid both the al
lnwances claimed ON bags and the S27 differ
ence in value OF stuff sent and "hard ord."
The defendant claims that the stock sent
was exactly as purchased by Mr.. Bliss and
some of il was better than the ordinary
'hard ends.

ING Of the Shooting.

Chicago, Ill, March ia bullet was
sent through the head of Mrs. Catherine
+. Bragg as she lay in bed yesterday, at
her home, 2l1 Thirty-first street. Her
adopted daughter, Josephine, was sleeping
with her. but says she did not hear the
shot The police arrested the adopted
daughter and los ked her up. Mrs Bragg
made a will S, mo time ago, leaving
nearly $50, 900 to this daughter. A re-
volver with one chamber empty, was
found I'm "A closet on IA shelf.
Mrs. Bragg is the widow of Frederick
A. Bragg, brother of General Bragg OF

band was real estate dealer. Inc
Braggs had no children, but five years
before the death of MIR Bragg the couple
adopted baby, and called her Josephine
Bragg. Her mother Is living in New
Hampshire, and her father is dead
strange feature of the case is that the
police were not notified of the shooting.
The patrolman on the beat heard of II
accidentally. He sent Mrs. Bragg TO st:
Lukc's Hospital, and arrested the adopted
daughter who is not 16 years old.
Josephine told the police she was awak-
ened by her mothers screams She turned
around i'm the bed and screamed herself
when she saw blood flowing from a
wound in Mrs. Bragg temple. Mrs.
Bragg whispered family that she had been

whom.
The bullet had passed through the left
temple clear through the,head, but missed

to bring doctor When the doctor came
he dressed the wound and went away.
When Josephine was taken 10 the stanton
avenue station she was questioned closely,
but declared she knew absolutely nothing
OF the shooting
A thing that puzzles the police is that
the bullet that passed through Mrs.
Bragg's head cannot be found, although
the room was thoroughly searched.
Ms. Celia Bratton, 60 s9G Thirty y-first
