In Paris, reports the New York Sun.
A dressmaker was working with her
three assistants one evening recently,
when they began to talk of their
troubles, and three Of the women, all
about 25 years Of age, coming to the
conclusion that life was not worth liv-
ing, decided to kin themselves at once.
The fourth, q girl Of q, said that she
did not care to be left alone and would
die, too. They all wrote farewell let
tiers TO their friends, sent out for a bot
tie Of cherry brandy and some char
coal, stopped up the openings into the
room, lit the charcoal and drank the
brandy. They were heard laughing
and singing until late in the night by
the neighbors, and all four were found
dead the next morning. \ few days
before an actress in one of the minor
theaters, who was supping with three
female friends, told them that she
meant to kill herself They discussed
the best means for accomplishing her
purpose and decided on poison. She
went at once TO drug store and pro-
cured what she wanted, drank it in the
presence of her friends without inter
ference, and, after watching her con
vulsions and seeing that the poison had
done it's work, they called in a police
man and told him what had happened

Memorial Day was observed with MT
ting ceremonies the country over. Every
where the graves of the hero dead
wore strcwn with flowers; everywhere
stirring p1negyrics revived and revival
lied memories of the sacrifices
aud deeds of daring of those who fought
and died to preserve the union. For the
first time since the hallowed celebration
was instituted the lingering remains OF
sectional resentment were swept away
the holy war for humanity having
obliterated every trace and hneament
of the sectional spirit which aroused and
then impelled US into that fratricidal
conflict that filled the countless graves
which we now yearly decorate with
flowers The impressiveness of the oc-
casion having been engraved upon the
minds and hearts Of the people, by APP
propriate demonstrations and exercises
of patriotic nature this great united
people sent messages of hope and cheer
to their soldiers and sailors now at war
with Spain, and then, as becomes
light-hearted, generous and enlightened
people, turned from the grave and re-
miniscent to the gay and recreative.
The memory of the dead is no less pre-
cious because we devote IA part of Me-
mortal Day to eXhilarating pleasures
and postimes. The house of mourning
is no less sacred because we convert 1t
iutoa house of rejoicing. of stirring
cheers and animated excitement. 1t Is
Well Tor us as a people that we may
mugle cheers with tears, JOY with grief
and sorrow with gladness.

opinion no other institution in this
section offers a course that is conducted
by2 ADLER talent. The proprietors

energy displayed in maintaining an
institution which brings so much reve-
nue. to DEBORAH, and at the same time
leaves its superior educational impress
upon all its students.

NIGHT WAS DARK AND THE WAY DREARY

Two more ardent devotes of Cupid
than Henry Carter, of Grayson county
aud Polly Gray, Of Butler county, have
not been seen in Cloyerport in many q
day.
Henry and Polly are children OF ma.
ture. They come from the backwoodf
and their love for each other is az
passionate as one Of Ella Wheeler Will
cox's poems.
They wanted to marry but Polly's par.
ents said to her, "Nay, nay, Pauline |!
Thou shalt not"
Polly, however, did not care picayune
for the interposition OF her parents aud
when, early Saturday evening, Henry
Garter came to the house, where she &
visiting, with two fleet saddle horses she
said she would tlv with him to the ends
OF the earth and thea some If her wings
held out.
Henry was gratifled at her determina-
ton and he had her mount the waiting
stesds. They set off on their journey
about dusk. They rode forty-6ve miles
that night through darkness over the
toughest roads in this section of the state
aud more than once each mentally vow.
ed that the course OF true love was q
very rocky one.
They arrived in this city at 8 O'Clock
and were Immediately taken in charge
by John Shouse, that sly old deputy OF
Cupid. He piloted them to Cannelton.
On the way he proved to them that a
confirmed bachelor can sympathise with
lovers just as truly as the gay Lothario
whose affairs of the heart are too numer-
GUS 10 mention.
John was present at the marriage al
Oannelton and said "bless you my child
rem" with an righteousness that demon
strated he meant every word that he
said.
Henry Garter comes from an clipping
family and his participation in the run
away match helps to keep up the family
reputation. His father and hh only
brother both eloped with their presen,
wives and got married in Oannelton.

he would have employed II teacher from

pie do not appreciate such advantages at

Parsnip Complexion.

1t does not require an expert to detect
the sufferer from kidney trouble. The
hollow cheeks, the sunken eyes, the
dark, puffy circles under the eyes, the
sallow, parsnip-colored complexion indi-
Gates it.
A physician would ask II you had
rheumatism, dull pain or ache in the
back or over the hips, stomach trouble,
desire to urinate often, or burning or
scalding in passing it; If after passing
there is an unsatisfyed feeling as II it
must be at once repeated, or If the urine
has brick dust deposit or strong color.
When these symptoms are present no
time should be lost in removing the
cause.
Delay may lead to gravel, catarrh Of
the bladder, inflammation, causing stop
paga, and sometimes requiring the draw
ing OF the urine with Instruments, or
may run into Bright's Disease, the most
dangerous stage Of kidney trouble.
DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root, the great
discovery OF the eminent kidney and
bladder specialist, is positive remedy
for such diseases Its reputation is world
wide, and it is so easy to get at any drug
store that no one need suffer any length
OF time for want OF it.
However, II you prefer to first test its
wonderful merits, mention the BREoKEN-
RIDGE NEWS, and write to DR.. Kimer &
Go, Binghamton, N. Y, for sample
bottle and book telling all about it, both
sent absolutely free by mail.
