The Philipsburg mail., 1899-07-07

soon as the unfortunate girl began her
tale Mrs. Burke, it is said by the dead
girls friends, at once suspected an
other cause for her condition and did
not hesitate to say so.
"Is it this way you have come back
here to disgrace us?" she is said to
have asked her.
For nine months Miss Burke lay in
the hospital and when she finally did
return to her Woodlawn home. with
sunken cheeks and pale face, she was
not entirely recovered. Indeed, up to
the day of her death she was under
treatment by a physician. for the ex-
pected complete recovery never came
about This fact saddened her whole
life, though she gradually regained
her former good looks and went about
quietly in the society in which she had
been accustomed to move before her
good musician and strikingly pretty
girl, and therefore was much sought
after and had half a dozen admirers.
But to Mrs. Doane and other intimate
friends she confided upon her return
from the hospital that she would never
marry and that she would never allow
any young man to fall in love with her
because she could only turn him away
If he sought her hand at last.
On this point she was firm, although
her women friends argued that sha
should not deny herself the pleasures
Of society altogether. She went to
social events of every nature in Wood
any of her admirers-but once, a young
man whom she was forced to "give
up" on account of her arrangement
Later there came into her life a ray
of sunshine and hope. David ]. Vile,
the attorney, brought it. Their man
ner of meeting was clearly in the re-
lationship of attorney and client. The
young woman had become imbued
with the idea that she had cause for
a suit against physician for malprac-
tice. 1t bore upon the operation she
had undergone. She went to the Of
flee of A. s. Trude to seek his coun-
sci. That was more than a year ago.
1t was then she met Vile and Mr.
Trude advised her to allow him to
handle her case. She told him Of her
/ case, concealing no portion of it. He
was informed of the nature of the op-
GRAFTON, necessary contingent upon
} the bringing of the suit. Vile is said
| to have allowed her to believe that
there were some hopes for her to re-
cover. They were frequently in each
others company regarding the matter.
Their acquaintance ripened into friend
ship and when finally Vile had per-
The Philipsburg mail., 1899-07-07

auaded her that she had no case he con-
tinued to call upon her. He had
found bond of sympathy between
them They were both lovers Of musie
and thus in this platonic sort of way
tney enjoyed each others companion
ship. Vile seldom called upon Miss
Burke after dark, but neighbors say
that he was at her home almost every
Sunday. She never went out with
him, it is said, farther perhaps than
occasionally to a neighbor's house
Several of the residents in the vicinity
had made the acquaintance of VILE
but none Of them knew that he was
married. Months passed by and it
was no secret that Miss Burke's friend
ship for Vile had ripened into love.
She possessed for him, her friends be-
liev-d, the pure love on which Plato
hinged a philosophy. No arguments
could ever induce them to believe
otherwise.
Yet there was a premonition among
them that her courtship would result
in more sorrow and the same confidant
to whom Miss Burke had confessed her
former pang told her few weeks ago
that she would experience such an
other if she were not careful.
But Mr.. Vile knows everything"
Miss Burke replied HE has known
from the start and still he continues
to come and spend hours with me. He
must admire my ompanionship or he
would not continue to call, admire it
as I admire his. 1t is possible for two
persons to love each other mentally.
Ours is a mental attachment"
Then came the story to the ears OF
Miss Burke that Vile was already
married and that he had daughter.
Thereupon she sought out his wife
and learned from her lips that the
rumor was true. Her last hope van
ished. The deception, the wrong prac-
ticcd upon her was more than she
could endure. Discouraged and dis
plotted her own destruction and to take
from the world with her the man she
loved.
How far she carried the plot into
execution is fresh in the mind of
everyone. Meeting Vile by appoint
ment, they went together to the Hotel
St. Anthony. at 27O3 Wabash avenue,
and engaged the parlor with its piano
for few minutes. Miss Burke asked
the man to play love song they had
often admired and sang together, and
as his fingers glided over the keys and
with the strains of the music ringing
in her ears she shot him twice. He
fell from the stool. and, with the evil
dent impression that he was killed,
she turned the smoking revolver to
herself and sent bullet through her
heart.

Marketing in Cuba.

Probably one of the most peculiar
customs noticeable in the Cuban mar
kets is the extremely small purchases
small in quantity made by the
lower class of natives. Small gourd
cups, holding scarcely more than a ta-
blespoonful, are used in measuring rice,
-four, beans and peas. Cabbages are
cut in wedges the size of a cigar, ,turnips
into eighths, squashes into minute
shunks, and onions into halves. Po-
tatoes are sold by numbers.
1t is no uncommon thing to see
woman buy piece of meat, weighing
a couple Of ounces, then pass through
the market purchasing tablespoonful
OF vegetables here and piece of garlic
there, and, finally, after an hour OF
gossip depart with food products worth
five or six ts.-Philadelphia In

Bodice Trimmings.

Among the various odd effects pro-
duced on the modern bodice is the use
of white pique with coarse, heavy
cord. This appears on the new fou-
lards, the daintiest nuns veilings and
crepes de chine in a chemisette, wide
collar, or an inner or second vest peep
ting out on either side Of the front over
a lace or embroidered satin vest and
cut in scallops on the edge, finished
with a full ruche of white chiffcn.
Scallops, by the way, are seen every
where that an edge is presented which
can be cut in scallops. 1t is favorite
mode of finishing the overdresses and
the bottom of short jackets, and some
of the ruffles are cut in scallops. You
may have them deep or shallow, as you
fancy, and trim them round with
ruchings, insertions or knife-plaitings

Is best expressed by the farewell let
ter of the suicide, which was address
ed to Mrs. DOane as Dear Mot Ger
When her health failed so greatly as
to interfere with her work and to be
a subject of constant concern among
her friends Miss Burke consented to
professional examination and advice
and learned to her dismay that she
was suffering with an abdominal
tumor, which would cause her death if
not removed. from that time the hap
piness died ont of Mabel Burkes life
and the light died out of her eyes.
Constantly haunted by the intelli-
gence the doctors had given her she
set about making preparations for the
operation which the doctors said was
imperative. She knew it would be
costly that she would be weeks, per-
haps months. in a hospital after it
was over, and she had not enough
money to meet the expenses. Unwil-
ing that Mrs. Doane should pay all OF
the charges, she went to her parents
home in Coloma, Mich, to tell them
her story and seek financial aid. Ac-
companied by Mrs. Doane she made
the sorrowful journey to the home,
which had never been a home to her.
Both her parents were there but her
mother would not hear her ont AS

Sun ROnnets the Rage.

Sun bonnets of every description
are seen in the shops and exchanges,
and there is no doubt that they are
to be the rage. The average outdoor
girl must possess at least half dozen
of these creations. In the country
they are Indispensable. Sometimes she
fashions them herself, but this is no
small task, and requires time and taste
and skill.
Nothing could be more becoming
and picturesque than some Of the love-
ly combinations Of muslin, lace and
ribbon which are already shown. They
are in plain colors, or lowered IN
bright or pale colors, to suit every
taste. Some are soft and dropping,
and others are made on stiffened
forms They have strings, or they
have not, but the strings, if there, are
unlikely ever to be tied. 1t would
seem to indicate that the summer girl
intends to pay some regard to he1
complexion and not go hatless in the
sun, as she did last season.

origin of Famous Fashions.

IL IS singular TACT in the history
VI lashlons that not a few of the more
famous OF them owe their origin to
the endeaVor to conceal a personal de-
lect or deformity of some distin-
sulshed leader Of society. Patches were
invented in England in the reign Of
Edward vi. by foreign lady, who in
THIS manner ingeniously covered a wen
on her neck. Full bottomed wigs were
invented by an ingenious French bar
Der Tor the purpose of concealng an
unnatural prOtuberance on the should
er of the Dauphin. Charles VII. Of
france introduced long coats to hide
his lll-made legs. Shoes with very
long points, fully two feet in length,
were invented by Henry Plantagenet
LUXE OF Anjou, to conceal a large ex-
cresence on one Of his feet. When
Francis l. was obliged to wear his
hair short, owing to a wound he re-
ceived in the head, short hair at once
became the fashion at his court. AS
set-off to the examples quoted, we
may note that, not to conceal, but to
display, her charms, the beautiful Isa
bella of Bavaria, introduced the fash
lon of leaving the shoulders and part
of the neck uncovered in order to
show the remarkable fairness Of her
akin.

NEW YORK'S WOMAN BURGLAR.

According to the police of Long Is
land City, burglary is the latest pro-
fession adopted by the gentler sex.
They base their belief upon the case
of Mary Seaman, with many aliases,
who when arrested on suspicion near
the Thirty fourth street ferry landing
in Long Island City, was found to have
experienced Jimmy" such as is used
by the most expert cracksmen. The
Jimmy" was nearly foot and half
long. It bore marks of use, and the
woman could give no satisfactory eX-
planation of having it in her posses
sion. The instrument is large and
heavy enough to break open almost
any door, and showcases could be en-
tered by means of it almost without
effort. In the woman's skirt was
found what the police describe as "a
shoplifter's pocket" bag sewn into
the skirt about eighteen inches long
and foot wide. 1t was in this ''shop-
lifter's pocket" that the jimmy was
concealed. The woman, suspected Of
being professional burglar, or sneak
thief, was arrested while lettering
near the ferry house. Detectives Kel-
ly and Maginn had noticed that she
carried basket, and as the crowds
came from the boats edged between
persons and walked by their sides.
When arrested the woman claimed
that she was selling pencils, and a
few of them were in the big covered
basket. But her replies were so eva
sive and contradictory that the de-
tectives took her to the station house.
When the jimmy was found the woman
said she had found it in the street.
She could not tell where, neither would
she tell where she lived, except by say
ing that she lived in Sixth street, but

cago murderess, Martha Mabel Burke.
She was reared at Paw Paw. Mich,
and left home to take up her abode in
a professors home. There she learned
stenography.
About seven years ago she went to
Chicago, believing that the city would
furnish better opportunities than a
country town. The young woman was
now talented and ambitious. Her ap-
plications for employment were OF a
higher order than those of most stem
ographers and she was successful. The
worlds fair was then in existence and
she went there for a position, and a
few weeks later she was accepted a.
a secretary to the board Of lady man
ayers and was provided with apart
ments at the Windemere hotel. When
the fair ended she still found lucrative
work. Then the presidential campaign
came on and Miss Burke became stem
ographer for Mark Hanna, work in
which she was regarded an expert.

had drawn from the country life Of her
girlhood began to fade away. The
delicate color of her cheeks died out
and her step became less elastic as
the weeks dragged by. Her friends
noticed the change in her, but as usual
she said it was nothing; it would soon
pass away; it was but temporary de-
rangement of the system, she thought,
which would soon yield to exercise and
hygiene At this time she was living
with Mrs. George Doane at $3.50 Cham
plain avenue. Mrs. Doane had become
acquainted with the ambitious young
woman, struggling alone for a liveli-
hood in the great city and had invited
her to make her home with the DoAAe
family, an invitation which Miss
Burke gladly accepted. The close re-

few davs ago Chicago was startled
by an attempted double murder. A
young woman who found her country
home too confning found the great
city too narrow to sustain her good
name, and after succumbing to the al
most inevitable consequences of quit
ting the parental roof tried to wreak
bloody vengeance on the man. Think
ing that she had killed him she turned
the weapon to her own head and in
another instant she was in eternity.
All the hopes and ambitions that led
her away from home had their miser-
able ending in blood crimsoned

wilful girls who see no hope in
