then continued until Tuesday, May 3d.
| at 10 O'Clock a. m, when the hearing
will take place.
In the court room this morning the
| prisoner wore loose flannel wrapper
! and a shawl coiled about her head,
Mexican senorita fashion. From be-
! meath it. however, loose locks of her
yellow hair protruded above her fore
head and added to the general aspect
OF wildness OF her countenance.
The trial was delayed on account of
the non arrival of necessary papers.
The commissioner warned the attor-
neys for the prosecution that the forty
day limit would begin running from
today and that at the end Of that
period the prisoner would be released
If no case had been made out against
her. To this Attorney Good replied
that his client was perfectly willing to
return to Mexico and no reason existed
for holding her in Jail here on a
tech nicaiity for she would go of her
own volition if permitted to do So.
The prisoner wss returned to Jail to
there await the date fixed for her hear
ing.

became violently agitated as soon as
judge and other officials,
whose solemn faces awed
her. Her hands twitched nervously,
her frame shook and wild light
cleaned from Ter eyes which roved
from one face to another and resem-
bled hunted animals. Her attorney
tried TO soothe her and prevent an out
burst of hysterical weeping. In this
he was partially successful for the wo-

them away with her handkerchief.

ference 10 the Confederate Supreme
Court, l suggest that the files Of the
Richmond papers Of the 18th and 18th Of

throw some light on the subject. as On

sort of lovliness that all agree upon is the
beauty of health. No matter what her
features no sickly woman can be attrac-
tive. Sallow skin, sunken cheeks, pimply
face, hollow eyes, lifeless hps-these are
repellant And they can nearly always
be traced TO the one cause-womanly
weakness or disease. Almost all the ills
of womankind are cured If you put the
feminine organism into healthy, vigorous
condition. All sickness of women seems
to involve these delicate organs and so no
matter what the symptoms may be 1t IS
best to look there for the real trouble.

Must Remove Hats.

columbus, o., April 6.-The high
hat agitation, which started with the
theaters, has reached the churches.
The trustees of the Broad Street Meth
odist church, this city, have decreed 1t.
Sisters OF the congregation who insist
upon wearing their head finery in the
pews will be politely requested by the
ushers to put their bonnets on the
floor or anywhere except the place in
tended for them. That must be left
uncovered.
The brethren, who for years have
been obliged to twist their necks in or
der to get glimpse of the minister,
will no longer be bothered by high
reaching feathers or waving flowers.
These emblems OF personal decoration
and fashion are to be relegated to the
background, and the pastor can here
after stand out in bold view of all his
audience.
The order will not go into effect un-
til Sunday, April 16. This delay is
granted so that any possible objection
to the rule which might be raised by
'bhe ladies can be quietly argued at
home.
