BRIDGEPORT, Conn, Sept. 16.-As
result of to-day's developments there
seems to be almost no doubt that the
woman whose dismembered body was
found early in the week in the Yellow
Mil Pond was Grace Marian Perkins
of Middleboro, Mass.
Medical Examiner Downs this noon
filled out a death certificate giving the
name of the victim as Grace Marian
Perkins. The identification by the
young woman's father was supplement
ed to-day by that of the Middleboro
dentist who had treated Miss Perkins
teeth. He said that there could be no
doubt that the head was that of Miss
Perkins. Undertaken Gullinan has no.
titled the members of the Perkins fam
lily that the remains are at the Morgue
awaiting their pleasure.
Additional information has also come
from Middleboro to the effect that Miss
Perkins left that place three weeks ago,
presumably with Charles Bourne, a
young man of the town, and that since
that time all trace of her has been lost.
The police here are making efforts to
locate Bourne. They are also eager to
ascertain the whereabouts of DR..
Nancy Guilford.'' The New Haven
jailer has been looking over the discard
ed effects of the erstwhile prisoners at
his Jail. He has come across three arti-
cles of clothing formerly owned by DR..

MIDDLEBORO, Mass, Sept. 1s.-The
members of the Perkins family held a
conference to-day and decided that the
identification of the girl was complete.
Frank W. Perkins, the father of the
girl, stated that he had obtained a
Bridgeport undertaken to ship the re-
mains to Middleboro tonight. Ar
engagements have also been made for
the funeral, which will be held Sunday
at the Perkins home.
1t is understood that Charles Bourne
is only a short distance from this town
and will come forward, If wanted by
the police, to give evidence.

the chapel of the Hofburg, where masses
for the repose of the soul of the deceased

At the head of the casket were the i'm
perial crown, the coronet of an arch
duchess and the jeweled orders of the
late Empress. At the foot of the casl1e.

gloves. Life Guardsmen were stationed
at each corner of the catafalque. There
was a steady procession of people until
the church was closed at o'clock, among
them Prince Albert of Belgium and other
personages of high rank. Even after the
doors were closed thousands remained
outside.
The Presidents of both houses of the
Austrian and Hungarian Parliaments de-
posted wreaths near the casket.

PRIVATEERS.

There is a great deal of talk about
SPANS commerce-destroying powers
That much harm may be done by COM
merce destroyers is true, but that
commerce destroying has such far
reaching power as large number of
people give it credit for, is not borne
out by historical facts.
To be effective the commerce de-
stroyer must be swift, must be in a
position to keep the sea for long
period, must have several points
which he can fall back upon for re-
pairs, for provisions and more than
anything else, in the present day, for
coal.
Take for example the supposed op-
erations of Spaniards upon the west
coast of America. In the first place

swift vessels in these seas. Starting
from the Philippine Islands, by the
time they reached this side of the
Ocean they would not be in position
and would not be in a position, there
fore, to cruise at large. There are no
stations which they can fall back up
on, and there are no places where
they can get unlimited coal.
The theories of what commerce de-
stoyers or, as they used to be called,
privateers, can do, depends upon what
was done by the French during the
long struggle between them and the
English. As Captain Mahan points
out the French privatees acted di-
rectly from the mother country or
from some colonial center upon which
they could fall back. The Bay of Bis
Ncay, the English channel and the At
lantic swarmed with privateers which
were continually popping in and out
of the home port. Mauritius and
Reunion formed a nucleus for similar
operations in the Indian Ocean, and
Guadeloupe and Martinique served the
purpose in the West Indies.
But even in spite of the efforts of
the French privateers during the pc
Rod, British trade actually improved,
though the French worried the COM
merce of their enemies, it kept in
creasing in spite of them. But the
Spanish are in no such position as the
French were. They have no places
from which they can dart out upon
the trade routes. And it must furth-
er be remembered that if the Spanish
can fit out fast steaming and light
armed privateers, the United States
can fit out two to their one.
This community is prone to take
fright, to start at shadows, to look at
the very darkest side of things. There
is absolutely no necessity for worry
ing over Spanish privateers at pres
ent. 1t will take time to fit them out
it will take time to commission them
BY the time the Spaniard is ready
the United States will be ready. Be
sides, whatever harm the Spanish pri.
vateers may do, the Spanish govern
ment will have to pay for when the
war is over.

Aside from form or features, she
has an attractiveness all her own.
The bloom on her cheek, the elasticity
in her step, the ring Of her voice,
her enjoyment Of life-all these are
magnets which draw others to her
side. Wonderful and valuable as it
is, health is not so difficult thing
to obtain as some discouraged ones
think. Most Of the troubles of women
arise from impure hood, impaired
nutrition, low vitality, and general
debility. Modern science furnishes
