SHORT SESSION OF THE POLICE BOARD Officer Gray Suspended for Five Days-Entered Plea
 of Guilty.

A short session of the Police Commission was held last night in the office of the chief in the Milner building, at which busi- ness coming over from the regular meeting on Tuesday night was disposed of.
 The meeting was called to order at s o'clock by Chairman McCary with the fol- lowing members present: Commissioners Mobley, Chiles. Parker, Stradford and Bridges.
 The first business taken up was the con- sideration of a petition from George Whit field for part of reward for arresting certain escaped prisonrs, which had been ordered paid to Officer Cunningham by a special committee to which the question had been referred. After some discussion it was decided not to reopen the question, as it had already been disposed of. Chair man McCary making full explanation of the circumstances.
 The next business was the investigation of certain charges against Officer Gray, who was present and announced ready for trial. The case was taken up and the charges, which alleged that the officer had violated rule No. 43 of the regulations was read. Specifically it was charged that Of ficer Gray had been gully of taking drink while on duty and he entered a plea of not guilty explaining the morning stated that he had taken a little whiskey, ginger and peperment because he was not feeling well and thought that he needed 1t. He stated that he had never before been brought before the commission, and asked the mercy of the board.
 Commissioner Parker thought that in view of the fact that it was first of- fence" that the officer should be let off with reprimand from the chairman. Commissioner Mobley was of the opinion that in order to maintain discipline it was necessary to make the penalty in such cases more severe, and moved that the of ficer be suspended for fifteen days with out pay and reduced four numbers in rank There was some objection to the punish ment, and it was finally agreed that five days without the reduction in rank would be sufficient.
 There being no further business the board adjourned

 Summer and winter, spring and autumn, catarrh ceases not to aff1ict large per cent of tho inhabitants of this country.

i" HENEVER cold is neglected it is liable to settle somewhere. Its most common seat is in the head, throat or lungs. It may and frequently does settle in the kidneys as in the case of Mrs. Lawler above narrated. Whenever cold settles in the kidneys it very quickly leads to Bright's disease, a very dangerous, if not incurable, condition. Peruna is sure to cure cold wherever 1t may be located.
 This lady found Peruna as a last resort to be the only remedy that had a par ticle of benefit. Pernna saved her from lifelong struggle with chronic Bright's disease, or perhaps speedy death.
 Judge Fl. Henry Powers Of Vermont gives Peruna fhe highest possible en- dorsemenf as he uses 1t in his family for climatic diseases of winter. In letter written from Washington, D. C. to The Peruna Medicine Co.,, he says:
 "Peruna Ihave used in my family with success. Ican recommend # as an excellent family remedy, and very good for coughs, colds, and catarrhal affections. "-H. Fl. Powers.

BAD BLOOD, BAD COMPLEXION.

The skin is the seat of an almost end- less variety of diseases. They are known by various names, but are all due to the same cause, acid and other poisons in the blood that irritate and interfere with the proper action of the skin.
 To have a smooth, soft skin, free from all eruptions, the blood must be kept pure and healthy. The many preparations oi arsenic and potash and the large number of face powders and lotions generally used ill this class of diseases cover up for a short time, but cannot remove per manently the ugly blotches and the red,

The Latest Hand kerchiefs,

The flmy thing of silk or lawn ito hide
a smile or dry the passing tear of which
the poet has sung plays its own part in
the world of dress. It's Importance, indeed,
has not been overlooked by the greatest of
dramatists, for did not Shakespeare himself
make the eliminating scene in "Othello"
turn round the question of the handker-
chief which made of such delicate
stuff and had magic in the web of it? Des-
GemOna S handkerchief, which was stolen
from her. her undoing.
The most fashionable handkerchefs this
year are those that are embroidered, and
especially those that are embroidered in
design worked on the body of the material
rather than in openwork. In spite of this
however, great many people still use
handkerchlefS trimmed with lace and in
sertlon let In either one or two rows. One
of the newest designs is an exceedingly
pretty one. Instead of the handkerchief
being cut quite square it is round at the
corners, and these corners are trimmed
with tucks. These tucks are only sewed at
the bottom and are free at the top so they
can be easily washed, but they all fall back
into their place in the ironing. and any girl
with taste can easily manufacture such
handkerchief for herself. The daintiness
of it is greatly increased by two rows of
insertion and an edging of lace
There was time when silk handker-
chiefs were all the rage, but such is the
Vagary of fashion that now nobody uses
them except under the unromantic stress
of circumstances cold when China silk
is the most pleasant and the most comfort
able thing to use.
Whatever the material, the question of
the hem is the thing which dominates all
other considerations this year. In the past
broad hens were all the rage, while now
the narrower the hem the more fashionable
is 1t regarded. hem half an inch wide is
almost the standard of the moment though
occasionally some people insist on having
the hem one inch wide, and, on the other
hand there are people who, if they can get
the hem less than half an inch wide, do So
So far as embroidery goes the most fash
ionabe handkerchefs are ornamented in
one corner only.
Among the most favored designs are the
true lovers knot and a basket of flowers
while another is a combination of the rose
shamrock and thistle, and a fourth is the
heur-de-is
The use of initials is not so much in
vogue as it was, but still it cannot be said
to be out of fashion, for initials always will
be used. What is out of fashion is elabo-
rate and ornamental lettering, and the
best people are having a small, plain letter
not exceeding a half to three-quarters of
an inch in length, in the corner opposite
to the design.
Mems handkerchiefs are only different
now in point of size from women's for ii
is the fashion to have the material of ex-
actly the same fineness as is employed for
ladies' use, only a broader hem is often
substituted for the narrower one affected
by women.

Sensitive Children,

Those children who are scolded and pun
ished for the least delinquency either be-
come hardened in Wrongdoing or democrat
lied by fear. In the latter case demoral-
lied is certainly not too strong Il term for
the results which follow injudicious pun
iShments. A nervous child becomes so
afraid of doing wrong that at last he loses
the power of discerning between what is
wrong and what is right and naturally
chooses the course which he thinks least
lil.ely to lead to chastisement. He will de-
sctnd to any amount of deceit and story
telling to save himself from the results of
his WrongdOing. and it is entirely out of
the question that, if his first years are
passed in such mistaken and pervert ed
way, he should ever grow up into an hon
est and straightforward man.
When children show themselves to be
abnormally sensitive and nervous, they
should be treated in totally different way
to the others who are healthy and bolster
Gus, but they must not be spoiled. for that
would simply aggravate the evil. They
should have the benefit of a frequent
change of air, especially to the seaside.
No stimulating drinks, such as coffee, tea
and beer, must be given. The food must
be quite plain, but wholesome and nouriSh-
ing-fsh, eggs. vegetables, cooked fruit and
pie nty of milk and milk buildings. AS a
tonic daily dose of cod liver oil and steel
wine cannot be improved uDOn.

New TailOr-MaIe Gowns.

FROM Harper BaZdT
Every girl needs one tailor frock, and it is
we'll when possible, to supplement this with
another of wool. The so-caIied tailor frocks
this year are like those made for older wo-
men and on more elaborate scale than
was considered smart last season. The
fiaring skirt with the attached ruffie is a
favorite style, and when the plain gored
skirt is used, great deal of flare is put
in around the foot. The ruffle is trimmed
with band of taffeta or with BRAID or is
headed with some bright Persian trimming
The Elton jacket is seen more than any
other jacket form, although it cannot be
called the smartest. The leading tailors
turn out pretty little jacket somewhat on
the REFER style, shorter in the back than in
the front, double breasted and tight fitting
al the back and sides, with loose fronts and
narrow revers. This rather leads in favor
at present. That the Eton jacket allows for
so much trimming is one reason for it's
popularity. especially for the spring and
certainly batiste, Russian lace, fancy col
lars and revers, such combine so effect
lively with the Etons. add greatly to the
general effect of the cloth suit.
