OF the corpse were wrapped. IL is OIL

frequently in cases requiring the attend

Island City shop-keeper, said to o. Brleh
that she did not sell any stuff or that

Nack's room. so far as the police Woulu
admit. 1t was said that no blood Spots

and no evidence Of struggle anywhere
about.
The only supposed blood-spots thus far
revealed. OBrien declared, were on the
barrel of the revolver which lay on the
mantel in the woman's sitting-room.
Both Coroner Tuthill and physician
O'Hanlon averred that stains on that
weapon seemed TO be blood spots. They
were in doubt as to whether the saw ana
butcher-knife were spotted.
Mrs. Emma Miller and her young
daughter. Amy. the latter being the chiid
who stayed with Mrs Mack last Satur-
day night, were at police headquarters

EASTER AT MRS. HANNA'S.

Paris hats are not profit-makers-
they are brought here mainly to show
the ladies of Honolulu what the Paris
ian ladies wear. Virot & Berthe, Place
Vendome, Paris, hold the reputation
for making hats and tongues that are
supremely chic. Julia Delmotte, on
Rue Richelieu, is not whit behind.
The models shown by me are from
these establishments.
A beauty is made with tulle crown,
trimmed with violets and jet crescents.
Another is of indescribable shape in
dark green satin straw, and trimmed
with silk of lighter shade and
punches of violets and chrysanthe-
NUNS. These models are strikingly
small in size, and would answer well
for theater hats in cities where hats
are worn at such places.
Of the collection, there is but one
flare. 1t has a crepe de chene crown
entirely covered with pansies and
large red roses. While these are the
productions of the best milliners Of
Paris. Mrs Hanna can duplicate them
in shape and trimmings at less than
half the actual cost of importation.
Her store, on Fort street, near King, is
patronized by the best bonneted peo-
pie of Honolulu.
