BEA UTIFUL GOWNS FOR HIRE.

A Chance for Ladies' with References who
Have y wedding or . Funeral on Hand.
An advertisement something like this has been
printed In the newspapers lately:
Evening and dinner gowns to hire; the latest i'm

A SUN reporter who had no particular use for
gowns as wearing apparel, but who was anxious
to find out just what manner Of people hired
them, went to the address printed under this adj
vetisement one day last week and asked for par
ticulars. The woman who had caused tho adj
vertisement to be printed was an unprepossess-

PALMER MAY GO TO JAIL.
Theatrical Manager Must Pay Back
AlimonY or Be Arrested.

New York, April 27.-A1bert NJ. Palm
er, the theatrical manager, has been
ordered by Justice BischOff in the SUI
preme court to pay to his wife, Mari
line, within five days $1,540.S4 arrears
Of alimony due to her up to December,
1896, or if not he will be committed to
Ludlow street Jail.
Mrs. Palmer obtained a decree of di-
vorce from her husband on December
s, 1888, and $3.50 month permanent ali
mOny was allowed to her. Three thou
sand dollars was deposited in a bank by
Palmer as security for one years pay
ment Palmer continued to pay the
amount awarded until 1895, when he
suffered business reVerseS and applied
to Justice Andrews for reduction of
the alimony. Mrs. Palmer asked that
he be committed for contempt in not
paying the allowance. She had drawn
the SO, 900 lodged in the bank, and 81, $40
subsequently had become due.
Justice Andrews denied the motion to
punish the defendant for contempt and
reduced the alimony to 800 month.
From this decision an appeal was ia
ken to the appellate division, which re-
Gently reversed the ruling of Justice
Andrews.
Mrs. Palmer then renewed her motion
to have her husband punished for con-
tempt, and Justice Bischoff yesterday
handed down his decision. He says
that the motion is founded upon Palm
er'S failure to pay the alimOny due by
him to his wife in 1896.

TRAGEDY AT LONOKE.
Three Lives Lost as Result of the
Eagle-Booie Feud.

Little Rock, Ark, April 27.-The lit
tie town of Lonoke, % miles east of this
city, on the Little Rock and Memphis
railroad, was the scene of a bloody
street duel yesterday afternoon, as a
result of which w. K. Booze and his
two sons, Will and Charlie, are dead,
and three of the Eagle boys are held
for murder.
The Eagles and the BODIES have not
been ON friendly terms for years, and
on more than one occasion different
members of the families have been in
volved in serious shooting Scrapes. Two
weeks ago some one fired on Charlie
Booze from ambush while he was
standing in front of a store at England
in Lonoke county. He was slightly
wounded. The Eagles are young men
and nephews of Ex-Governor James P.
Eagle.
The Eagles and Bob Dougherty, a
brether-in-law, attacked the Booze fam
lily on the street and when the smoke
of battle had cleared away it was dis
covered that the three BODIES were
mortaIly wounded. They have since
died. One report reaching Little Rock
this morning says one of the Eagles
was wounded in the breast, but this
was denied later on.
w. K. Booze was a member of the
legislature in 1887, and his family is one
of the oldest in this section of the
state The Eagles are well konwn in
Lonoke county. Their relatives have
for many years dominated local poll
tics and it is understood that the mis-
understanding dates from political
clash between some of the Eagles and
some of the BODIES.
