Slated for appointment to the Po-
lice Board With Scarrftt,

The politicians have been kept busy spec
ulating who was to be appointed police
commissioner with w. c. Scarritt, to sue
ceed the present commissioners, since the
fact that the present board was to be
thrown over was announced in The Jour-
nal. Governor Stephens was anxious to

Mr. Ball declared he was not in a position
to accept the position and would have to
decline Wash Adams has also declined
and Frank Sebree has indicated thai he is

Mrs. c. C. Newcor1b, of st. Louis, finds
herself "a new woman" in the best sense
of the word.
An invalid woman is always sad sight
sadGer even than that of an invalid man,
because of her greater capacity for suf
fering.
Neuralgia, backaches, fits of depression
and headaches compel her to think of work
with half her brain, while the other half
thrcbs as if it would go to pieces. There
are no more striking examples of the
great, practical value of Paine's celery
compound than are heard from the lips
of women who have been made well.
Its ability to relieve those ills that seem
to be peculiarly the misfortune of women
is Overwhelmingly proven by innumerable
testimonials from women of the highest
standing in the communities where they
live.

President Hall, of the Massachusetts

"CominE,' Very Fast,

President Hall, of the Massachusetts
Mutual Life Insurance Company, who has
been in Kansas City for few days visit
ing the resident agent and looking over
the situation in the West, left yesterday
for Arkansas, where he will spend a week
inspecting the country there as place for
making loans on real estate. He is of the
opinion that Arkansas is now the best
place in the West to make loans. Values
there are at a conservative figure he saws
laws are fair and equitable to both borrow
er and lender, there is a bright future for
the state, and well situated, farmers are
making money, s0that the field is very at
tractive.
Mr.. Hall was disappointed at the action
of the Kansas Legislature in refusing to
pass the Missouri deed of trust law and
make 1t optional with the borrower as to
what course he was to pursue.
IF that law had been passed, the people
of that state could get all the money they
might want for per cent" he said. Their
prejudice against money lenders has led

THE CARE OF CLOTHING.

No matter how beautiful or expen-
sive our gowns may be, without proper
care they will not retain their stylish
appearance.
Everyday garments should be disin-
fected, for brushing is not sufficient, as
it will not remove the unpleasant odors
that come from long usage.
When bonnet lining or a set Of
dress shields becomes perceptible, it
should be removed, while cloth gar
ments can be sponged and pressed
clean.
SOME women sprinkle their waists
and dresses with scent and use sachet
powders to perfume their bonnets and
wraps, and this is quitea good scheme
SO far as 1t goes.
A pint Of benzine'd does not cost much
and will clean anything in the way Of
kid, silk, lace or wOrsted, while cam"
phor is another common and effective
disinfectant.
Garments that smell of nothing are
the cleanest and most agreeable, as
there is always a suspicion Of bad san
itation or bad habits when there is
strong perfumery employed.
Precipitation stains may be removed
from the arms of white wooden or silk
dresses by sponging with warm water
into which ammonia has been poured,
and then with clear water, and finally
press before it becomes quite dry.
But better than scent bags or per-
fumery is a clothespole and an open
window. Turn the garments wrong
side out, and let the air and sunshine
do the rest. An all-night airing is
good, but day of purifying sunshine is
better.
If a scent is desired to neutralize
what is known as shop smells, emanat-
ing from the laundry, factory, kitchen
or packing room, orris, muscadiner
bergamot, or small piece Of sandal
wood is preferable to the strong doors
of manufactured perfumes.
Deodorized alcohol, with teaspoon
full of some good scent to a pint, and
put on in a spray, will leave the cloth
ing sweet and clean smelling, while fol
the skin there is nothing more aroma
tic and agreeable than handful Of
lavender water dashed on after the
bath.

She has been married ten times, One
husband dead, another missing, and six
ex-husbands and one bona fide husband
living at one and the same time with
In radius of 100 miles is the record
to which this oft-wedded woman can
proudly point.
Her maiden name was Elizabeth
Chapel and she began her matrlmon-
ial career by marrying Grace Brock, a
well-to-do dentist of Lebanon, Ind, In
1871. Brock died in May, 1873, and af-
ter mourning his loss for a little less
than three months the grlef-stricken
widow became the blushing bride OF
James Monroe Hazelrigg, a farmer.
Bette, as she was affectlonately called
by every one, learned that the quiet
life Of farmers wife was entirely too
slow for one of her ambitions, and,
with the assistance of considerate d.
vorce laws and the consent Of her hus-
band, she succeeded in casting aside this
yoke in October, 1874.
Thomas Hudson, harness dealer,
was the next to cast himself and his
fortune at her feet. AS the latter was
especially acceptable, she became Mrs.
Hudson Jan. 10, 1877 In less than two
years she was again in court as plain
tiff in a divorce proceeding. Her pray
er was granted and her next marriage
was to Milton Schofeld, an architect.
Schofield was addicted to liquor, and,
according to Bettie's divorce petition,
which followed their marriage about a
year, he was very abusive when under
its influence.
Since then she has married and Sc
cured divorces from Frank Baker, ia
cob w. Dinkins, DR.. Reese Trowbridge,
and Isaac Jeffries. During this time
she was also reunited to Hazelrigg, her
former husband, but secured second
divorce from him.
The last and present husband is
James Van Pelt of Indianapolis, aged
S5. In each Of her eight divorce cases
Mrs. Van Pelt has been the plaintiff,
and in none of them has she met with
opposition from the defendants. She

Of Queen Victoria until a short time
ago, and its final settlement was
brought about by the righteousness Of
boy of o. .
The two leading Anglo-Irish families
An Ireland have long been the Fltz-Ger-
aids and the Buffers. From being COM
rades in arms of the invading Strong
bow they became by degrees rival bar
pns and fierce contestants for the vice
sovereignty Of their adopted country.
In the wars Of the roses the Buffers
sided with the white rose of Lancaster,
the Fitz-Geralds with the red rose Of
York. Factions gathered around the
two great houses, and the bitter feud
brought forth death and bloodshed
from as early as 1850 down to the Will
liamite wars. Buffers, whose chief had
attained the dignity Of Earl of Or
monde, succeeded in crushing the power
of the elder branch of the Fitz-Geralds,
earls Of Desmond. It is told of a war
like Desmond that, while being borne
prisoner ON the locked shields of his
feudal foes clansmen, the Buffers
tainted him with the bitter words:
Where is now the proud Fitz-Ger-
ald?"
To which the indomitable earl an
swered:
"Fitz-Gerald is where he ought to be
on the necks of the Buffers"
This proud reply will give an idea of
the intensity of the strife.
Now 1t happened that her majesty's
Irish viceroy gave garden party in
the viceregal lodge at Dublin, and
thither were hidden by accident the
Marquis of Ormonde, head of the But
Ter family familiar to Americans
through his yachting interests), and
the little Duke of Leinster, boyish
chieftain of the house of Fitz-Gerald.
With the duke, who was not quite 8
years of age, came his widowed mother,
one of the beautiful Duncombe sisters.
The Duchess Of Leinster lost sight of
her son for space, and in going to look
tor the lad found him engaged in earn
est conversation with tall elderly gem
tleman, In whom she was surprised to
recognize the Marquis of Ormonde.
What was her horror when, on ap-
preaching nearer, she distinctly heard
the youthful Geraldine remark in some
what slangy phrase;
well, I suppose I ought to punch
your head on account Of the feud, but |
say, you know, you're too Jolly decent
q chap for that. Can't we shake hands
ard call IL square?"
With the utmost gravity Lord Or
monde grasped the small hand of his
hereditary foe, and when the amused
mother came to congratulate them on
the happy settlement of 600 years of
bitterness she found young hopeful
perched, like his famous ancestor, on
the neck of the Butler.
Thus ended feud undoubtedly one
Of the oldest and possibly the bloodiest
in the world.
