IN sHAKEsPEARE's CHURCH.
Some Interesting Relics Found Dur
ing Work of Restoration.
From tie St lanes Gazette


An unusual amount of public interest is
just now being shown in the restoration
work at Holy Trinity Church, Stratford-on-
Avon. Workmen are engaged in taking up
the floor of the nave, side aisles and tran
septs, preparatory to the laying down of
new block floors and pavements.
Having to excavate some depth for the
purpose of filling in with concrete and ce-
ment some curious old vaults, quaint cpl
taphs and tombs are being disclosed, and
are being treated with the greatest care.
A portion of the present church dates back
nearly 100 years, and all authorities agree
that upon the same site stood much Older
church of the Saxon period. AS place of
sepulcher the site has no doubt been in use
for 900 years. The floors of the nave, and
particularly the transepts, are honeycombed
with vaults, and it Will be necessary to
lower the crown of the arch of many SO as
to eXcavate to the proper depth. AS inter-
mentS inside churches are not now permit
ted, all the vaults will most likely be niled
in. They are not being entered, but in the
course of the work collins, mostly of lead,
are seen, and skulls and bones are being
turned up occasionally. These are treated
with the utmost reverence and Will be re-
inferred in the churchyard.
A group of vaults in the south transept
has been exposed. They contain the bodies
of the Mason family, the interments dating
from 1859. The family is now extinct, but
old Stratfordians tell of a remarkable, yet
horrible act of self-destruction committed
by one of the Mason family some sixty or
seventy years ago. Going into howell in
the paddock at the back of the house, he
put together a great quantity of straw,
and, lying down on top of it, he set the
heap on fire and was literally roasted alive.
Quaint inscriptions are being brought to
light in removing the wooden floors that
covered the old stone paving of the tram
septs, and it is satisfactory to know that
all will be carefully preserved and shown
in the random pavement which will bor
der the pews.

Dainty tribes.


The main respect In which the well dress
ed woman differs from her whose apparel
is unattractive is in the trifies which make
a costume elegant. The pretty shoe, the
handsome stocking, the well-ftting glove
and the becoming veil add a finish that
makes a woman what is known as well
dressed. No one can afford to neglect
these little things. The well-laundered COL
lar and cuffs and the correct tie attract
the attention of the average observer
much sooner than do the elegance of the
material of a gown and the style in which
1t is made. If a costume fits we'll it de-
Ponds on the wearer to make it stylish. In
this day of vast variety and beauty In
neckwear costume may be made as elab-
crate or as severe the owner wishes
Every woman should have on hand a good
supply of wells, and they should be care
fully chosen with an eye to the becoming
ness and suitability of each. A handsome
veil is an expensive trife, but If properly
cared for Will last a long time AS soon
as II is taken off a hat it should be smooth
~ folded and laid away in a veil case.
Gloves should be treated as fairly and
will, by the length of time they allow them
selves to be worn, reward one for the care
given them. Every woman should have
several pairs of silk or handsome isle
thread stockings to wear with low shoes
or pretty slippers. With handsome tan
ties, tan silk stockings must be worn
Bronze-brown silk stockings with bronze
slippers are also pretty for house wear
If woman in moderate circumstances
feels that she cannot afford to indulge her
fancy for quantity of silk hosiery LET
her become the possessor of only several
pairs of silk stockings and be content to
wash them herself as often as needed
Ihis may be done in the privacy of her
own apartment, and the delicate fabric

three times as long as If committed to the
rough mercies of the laundress with har

began to prey on his mind until 1t was wa

anced. He was given a sick leave by
General Miller and went into the noun
tains in hopes of recuperatlng his health.
When he returned he showed no penent
from his trip, and finally board was
ordered to pass on him.
This seemed to have very depressing
effect on Captain Palmer. One of the de
| lusions under which he seemed to labor
was the fact that he was indebted to the
Government for many thousand dollars
of supplies and only few days ago he
asked Lieutenant Lockwood If he would
be brought to trial. and if he was, If he
would be sent to Manila or tried here.
While the captain was known to be men
tally unbalanced no attention was paid
to this remark, as it was thought that
his ailment was only temporary and that
as soon as he was out of the army he
would recover.
On another occasion Captain Palmer
said to Lieutenant Lockwood that he
would not have any use for his "plunder'
in a short while, referring to his camp
outfit Not long ago the unfortunate of
ficer called on General Merriam and told
him that he could not master the detail
of his work, and the department COM
mander informed him that If such was
the case it was better for him to resign
than to make himself i'll by fretting over
the matter.
CAPTAIN Palmer was last seen alive on
Thursday night, when he went to dinner
at the officers mess in the Preside Club.
AS has been stated he did not get up on
Friday, but remained in his room. When
he was found by Lieutenant Lockwood
Major Moseley, the post surgeon, was
summoned and he declared that the Off
Ger had been dead about two hours so
he must have committed the deed about
4 o'clock. When found Captain Palmer
had on only his underclothes. On a table
beside his bed was a copy of the army
drill for light artillery. The book was

the most interesting game of several
years, and the football enthusiast was
not backward in recognizing it.
Long before the appointed hour the
bleachers were packed with the college
men, who came to shout, sing and use
their leathern-throated voices in rhyme
and without reason. The clubmen had a
following also, for the red and white were
picked by some as the probable winners.
On the side lines were the pride of other
days-Billy Kennedy and Johnny Ham
mersmith. Ed Lewis strayed out of the
stand and DR.. Bryant found himself on
the field when the OIympics scored their
touchdown. Other Olymptans of lesser
fame vociferated themselves into hoarse-

stand with long streamers of red and
white cheered Justify for the club athletes

Altogether it was very much like a

CAPTAIN GRANVILLE PALMER DRIVEN TO DEATH BY DRLLBOK

Newport, Captain Palmer was ordered to
the Preside for temporary quarters pend
ing the return to the report made on him
by the board of officers. This board had
been ordered to examine the officer IN
order to ascertain his fitness to command,
and its report had been sent to Wash
ington. There is no doubt that this fact
preyed on Captain Palmer's mind and
FASTENED the awful tragedy.
When he went to the Preside he was
given quarters with First Lieutenant
Lockwood, Fourth Cavalry. His room
was in the rear of and across the hall
from the one occupied by Lieutenant
Lockwood. On Friday Captain Palmer
did not leave his room but remained in
bed. Nothing was thought of this as he
was known to be mentally unbalanced
and in ill-health. About 6 o'clock in the
afternoon Lieutenant Lockwood went 20
his room and knocked on the door. Re
ceiving no answer he entered the room,
where he found Captain Palmer's body
lying across his bed. In his right hand he
held the revolver, while the blood on the
floor and bed told of the awful means
he had sought to end his trouble. Lieu
tenant Lockwood at once reported the
matter to Colonel Wagner, commanding
the post, and the body Of the officer was
