The present fashions show several new
features. Flowers are no longer outlined

FILLED WITH LEAD.
Capt. Strong's Dead Body Found in
the Road I'm Kentucky.

Cincinnati, May 10.--The CONNER
cial-Tribune's special FROM Lexington,
Ky, says Capt. William Strong, leader
of the faction that bears his name in the
Strong-Amos and Strong-Calahan feuds
which have cost more than so lives in
Breathitt county, was found on the
roadside near his home Sunday shot to
death with seven bullet holes in his
body.
Strong was 70 years old, captain in
the federal army. After the war the
Amos family and their friends tried TO
exterminate Strong and his friends.
They besieged Strong in his house three
days, when Strong's nephew with a
dozen old soldiers came to his rescue.
\ few nights afterwards Strong and his
men met the Amos faction in an open
meadow in the moonlight. A fierce bat
tie ensued which resulted in the death
of one Amos and the wounding of sew
eral more. Only one of Strong's men
was wounded.
The Amos family removed to Kansas
after several more of their men were
killed. When the ku-Klux rode in
Breathitt county last year Capt. Strong
denounced them in unmeasured terms,
and when it was told to him that the
Galatians were the leaders he made
war on them. In this war three have
been killed. and the authorities, realiz-
ing that Breathitt county would wit
ness another bloody mountain war,
summoned the leaders of both sides to
appear before County Judge Day, with
the result that peace was supposed to
be restored. Strong's friends will never
rest till this murder is avenged.

DEATH OF D'AuMAlE.


Paris, May s.-The Due d 'Aumale died
Thursday at Zucco, Sicily, of the shock
he experienced upon hearing of the
death of Duchessc d'Alcncon. The i'm
mediate cause of death was cardiac apo
plexy. The relationship of Duchesse
d'Alencon and Due d'Aumaie was that
of uncle and niece by marriage, Due
d'Alencon having been the second son
of Due de Nemourc, brother of Due
d'Aumale.
IDuc d'Aumaie was, perhaps, one of the
NEST hberal-minded OF the royal family OF
France; in fact, he often expressed him
self ~ by no means opposed 20 any form OF
government desired by the people. He
was elected to the national assembly or
1871 to represent the department OF the
Disc and in 1872 he was made a division gen.
eral in the army. As a soldier he had am
pie experience with his brother, the duke OF
Orleans, in the Algerian campaign in ls4C
He was made a member of the French
academy and the Academy of Fine Arts.
but was expelled from France by law while
Boulanger was minister of war. After he
had gone IL was learned that he had given
his chateau at Chantilly, with its priceless
treasures. to the institute in trust for the
French nation, and IN 1890 the decree was
revoked. and he returned from England
and took up his residence in the chateau, IN
which he lived up to the time of his death.
In the same year that he retuTned TO
France he was elected president OF the
academy for three months. He was IS
years old at the time of his death, having
been born i'm 1892 He was the fourth son
OF King Louis Phillippe.l

A Glasgow professor has discovered
a method by which deaf persons cannot
only hear but enjoy music-provided,
as is the case with so many of iife's good
things-they are rich enough To pay for
it. Many persons not utterly deaf can
hear music sufficiently well TO know
what tune is being played, but receive
no pleasure from it, as they get none of
the sound vibrations. The Glasgow in
yention gives TO the partially deaf, so
deprived of all that makes music de
lightful, the power TO hear as well as If
their hearing apparatus were normal.
Before an opera or concert begins. a
photograph is placed at the side of the
stage. Connecting with the phono-
graphs waves of sound are highly
charged electric wires. which are car
ried directly to the bo es or seats in
the house where the deaf persons are
sitting. These wires are passed into a
basin OF salt water, which the deaf
mold and in which they dip their fingers.
The result is sound. The agitation of
skin of the hands by the electrical irri-
tation is said 10 be not at all painful.
Nine out of ten deaf mutes can enjoy
music i'm this way.--ChicagO News.

Gen. Harrison Suggests Plan for the Re
lief of the President.
II is rare good fortune during the
early months of an ad ADMINISTRATION III
the president gets ono wholly uninter-
rupted hour at his desk each day. The
presidents time is so broken into IS
that he is often driven to late night
work, or TO set up desk in his bedroom
when preparing message or other pa
pers requiring unbroken attention
Thoughtlessness is the root of all this.
II only want five minutes" ard il he
were the only one it could be spared,
but his double is at his heels. and the
urgent public business is postponed or
done at night with a jaded mind. IL
may be said that untimely visitors
should be excluded. and so they should;
but thoughtfulness on their part would
cure without a smart. But the feeling
that something is or may be gained by
by a personal interview prevails, and
for The first year and half If an ad
ministration the president spends from
four to six hours of each day talking
about things he will not have to act
upon for months, while the things that
that ought to be done presently are
hurtfully postponed.
If the president could make up and
publish an appointment docket, and
notify all persons having anything to
say in the particular case TO draw
near" on a fixed day, it would result in
a great saving of time all around, and
a great saving of money to the appli-
cants, who could remain at home until
summoned TO appear. No papers
should be received after the submis-
sion of the case, and motions for re.
hearing and for new trial should be
barred. Elk President Harrison, in

A wElL.KEPT HAND.
No Woman of Refinement VIII Neglect
Manicuring.


Msnicuring.
To paraphrase an old epigram, a
well-kept hand does not necessarily be-
speak a woman of refinement, but no
woman Of refinement will have other
than well-kept hand. The gentlest
lady's hand may be hard of palm and
red of knuckle, because they are no
strangers to the broom and dish mop.
but they need never seem coarse or
neglected. Just at present gloves are
being sold to meet the special needs of
a practical housekeeper-big,' loose,
red gauntlets that are for slipping on
when tender fingers must go in hot
water. There are white rubber ones,
too, for use when kneading dough; big
chamois skin ones To wear on days
when the family silver must be poi
ished or the brass andirons touched up.
The outside surface of these last acts
as polishing cloth on all metals, and
when the chores are thus effectually
handled with gloves and more or less
completed for the day, let the finger
nails be brushed in tepid soap and
water and manicured.
Nails that are tough. lusterless. dot
ted with white bruises, surrounded
with hangnails, or are painfully brittle
and ragged, tell simple story of neg
lect. One dollar and half will pur-
chase all the manicure tools and sup
plies necessary. and these will easily
last three years, so no great expense is
involved. This estimate includes a
cleaner and file in one. pair of small
curved scissors, a large wood backed
polisher, a box of nail paste and one of
powder. After nails have been brushed
in tepid suds and dried, use an orange
wood toothpiclI to gently push back
the skin about the sides ana bottom.
With the scissors clip close off all the
hangnails and then cut every nail to
the shape you wish. beveling the cut
edges with the file. Rub ever so little
paste on every nail, dust a pinch of
powder on the polisher and then polish
with an even stroke few times. Don't
let either paste or powder work into
the skin around the nails. and don't
manicure two mornings and neglect
the hands for four. Don't try to have
long nails or giittering ones. BE satls-
fed il they take on pink, healthy
glow, have white, rounded tips, and
grow as strong yet aexibic, as the
best whale oone.-St. Louis Glo' eDem-
