The Fad for Chains,

Chains are worn in dozen dIfferen
ways, to carry fans or purses or watches
They are attached to lorgnettes, to pei
dogs, to dress skirts, and to shopping
bags. They are wound around the
wrists for bracelets or around the necl
for necklaces. When wheeling they lead
up to Japanese match'safe, and when
golfng they end at the score card.
They are beads strung together, or un.
cut jewels, or of tiny metal links. The
small Empire fan is still very generally
used, and there is prophecy from Paris
that before winter there will be a re.
vival of Empire gowns, which will
mean no corsets, French heels and fan.

STORY OF THE CRIME.

Mrs. Martha Place killed her step
daughter Ida Place, at their home 1913
Hancock street, Brooklyn, on February
7. 1898. The girl was but % years old.
A double murder had been planned by
the woman. She killed her stepdaugh-
ter when the girl was taking an after
noon nap, splitting her skull open with
an axe, and pouring vitriol in her face
and into her mouth. The same even
ing the woman lay in wait for her nus
band, William w. Place, in the dark
ened hallway of the house, and when
he entered she struck him in the face
with the axe. and inflicted a serious
wound. He managed to get outside the
front door and alarm the neighbors
before he became unconscious. When
the police and neighborS entered the
house they found Mrs. Place in a bed
room in which gas was escaping, and
she was shamming uncons ciOusnesS.
Mr.. Place recovered consciousness, and
said his wife had tried to murder him,
and the woman was arrested, after
they both had been taken to a hospital.
The motive for the woman's crime
was jealousy of her stepdaughter
Places first wife died six or seven
years ago, and about IS months after
ward he engaged the woman who be-
came his second wife, TO act as his
housekeeper Her maiden name was

quent quarrels with Ida. Mrs. Place
was very much embittered because her
husband took the young woman's part.
Another cause of family pickering was
Places refusal to have his wife's adopt
ed son live with them. The woman
was much inferior TO her husband and
stepdaughter in education and social
qualities, and many friends Of Mr.
Place had cut his acquaintance on ac-
count of his marriage to the woman.
Miss Place was popular with the fam
lilies in the neighborhood and this also
made the stepmother jealous. Mrs
Places story of the crime was that she
had thrown carbolic acid in her step
daughters face during one OF their
quarrels, and then got an axe to de-
fend herself from an attack by her
daughter, but it came out during her
trial that she had made preparations

SOUTHERN COTTON MILLS.

We take the following from the
May issue Of The Review Of Re-
views.
While the newspapers have been
full lately Of labor troubles in the
cotton mills of New England--cuts
in wages, strikes, lockouts, petit
tions, complaints, and the whole
dreary round-the dispatches have
from time to time recorded a far
different condition ofafisirs through
the Southern States. 1t looks as
il Georgia, Alabama and the Caro-
lians had found the remedy Cor
over.production and the con-
sequent five-cent cotton which has
been declared mean ruin for Dixie.
Mills have been springing up like
mushrooms during the past year
OF so, for the pioneers have so sue
cessfully demonstrated their abil-
ity to compete with New England
in this respect for unlimited capital
has been forthco ming for such en-
terprises. A number Of the fore
most business men and manu-
iacturers Of Massachusetts have
memorialized the Legislature Of
that State, setting forth the dis
advantages under which they are
laboring as compared with their
Southern rivals and petitioning for
relief in the form Of lower taxes.
Meanwhile the mills in the cotton
growing region, close to the raw
product and so saving freight,
with an abundance OF cheap fuel,
cheap labor, aud with low taxes,
