THE GLASS OF FASHION,.

SaShes Of all kinds and descriptions
will be n feature of summer dress.
The prettiest, most becoming face
veil for mourning wear is made of
brussels net with a scalloped edge, d
hemsttched border or q Grape band.
Embroidered batiste of the finest
texture and the daintiest biscuit tint is
to be very much worn this season for
entire gowns, waists and trimmings.
French knots are quite as popular as
ever as a means of trimming, with the
difference Of using heavy instead Of
fine silk. On gauze materials they are
very effective.
Spring hats have blossomed out in q
very realistic way with flowers in the
lead for decoration. Roses are first on
the list, but all sorts of exquisite floral
designs are in evidence on the new
hats.
The new leather belts are the same
straight around bands so long worn,
but are covered with rows of stitching
or combined with velvet showing Il
narrow line through the center, the
leather overlapping and being stitched
on.
Single faced velvet ribbon is prom
ised as one Of the trimmings for fou-
lard gowns. and it is to be stitched on
at the upper edge. Graduated bands
of piece velvet were stitched on to the
skirts of the winter models, SO it is

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED

by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion OF the ear. There is only
one way to cure deafness. and that is by con
stitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by
an infiamed condition of the mucous lining
Of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets
inflamed you have rumbling sound or i'm
perfect hearing, and when 1t Is entirely clos
ed deafness is the result, and unless the in
fiammation can be taken out and this tube
restored To its normal condition, hearing will
be destroyed forever; nine cases out often are
caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an in
flamed condition of the mucous surfaces.

How Accidents Become Habits.

AS to our manneriSms, says a writer
I'm the Baltimore Sun, at first they are
accidents, and afterward they become
habits. 1t is singular how easy it is
to convince n credulous public that q
misfortune is a gift, just as an eccen-
tricity is a mark of genius. Your
correspondent knows a lady who was
asked in marriage by several gentle
men Gor where one pastures others
will follow, although she was neither
beautiful nor clever nor rich, but
because she was affected with a trem-
bling of the lids. In her inmOSt heart
she who addresses you believes the
trembling began with nervousness. but
1t was universal, and after n little
what was curious began to be regarded
as fascinating. At any rate | know d
well established, portly lady, married
TO n man who secured her, not without
difficulty, whose only sorrow is the
necessity of keeping up the girlish
habit which procured her a spouse. He
IS not a seutimcntalist, but he wants
what he paid for. He married heF
because her eyelids trembled, and not
unnaturally he wishes to be possessed
Of the same treasure.

AN ATTEMPT TO MURDER
Continued from First Page.

stealing affecting Mr., Taylor, called up
on him on Wednesday night and re
quested him to assist in putting Taylor
out of the way. Moscr AYERS he refused
to have anything to do with the muir
der, but that the man returned again on
Thursday evening armed with butcher
knife and threatened to kill him, If he
did not assist him in the plot. Afraid
to refuse, he says, he lent the man his
revolver and accompanied him on the
murderous mission. Each man rode a
horse, furnished by Moser from Mr.. Bill
meyers stable. They went together as
far as Billmeyer' s dam, where MoSer re-
mained while the man who was to do
the shooting rode to the Taylor home
going around by Limestoneyille and the
old Chillisquaque church so as not to
be seen in Mexico.
Moser's confession is wholly discredit-
ed by Mr.. Taylor who knows well both
Moser and the man he accuses of COM
plicity. The latter, he said, was a
damaging witness against Moser at the
hearing before Squire Auten Friday. Mr.
Taylor inclines to the view that Moser
himself fired the shot and was the only
one implicated. Information, he says,
will be lodged charging him with the
shooting.
Stephen Moser is a young man, marrl-
ed, who works for Alex Billmeyer and
occupies one of the latter's tenant houses.
The above facts were obtained of Mr..
Taylor himself in the presence of Sheriff
Breck bill and w. B. Started, who was
present when the confession was made.

An oddlooking individual of the
genus hobo with record that gives him
the rank of veteran strolled into town
on Monday He wore an old cast-ott
suit of uncertain color, soled and rent
in every part. He had no use for sus-
penders; a thick rope tightly drawn
around his waist and tied in an awk-
ward knot did service as a belt. His
shoes, one of which was much too large
looked as though they had just formed
acquaintance, resembling each other in
nothing except that they were both run
down at the heels. His hat was in keep
ing with the rest of his costume.
The man was some sixty years of age.
His face, which might have been improv-
ed by washing, had heavy stolid APP
pearance, rejecting a soul dead to all
the nobler emotions of our nature Otfic-
er Vors found the man basking in the
sun on East Market street and took him
before Justice of the Peace Bare, where
he was asked to give some account OF
himself.
He said his name was Michael Maloy.
He wasn't quite sure where he had come
from or where he was going. He was
simply moving. He came to this couu-
| try. he said, when James Buchanan was
President. The Justice asked him where
he had last resided. The old man thought
long and deeply and than remarked that
so far as he could recollect, he never had
a residence. 1t then developed that dur
ing the forty-tive years that he had been
in this country he had been steadily on
the go; that he had never voted and had
no desire to; that he had never paid any
tax except on one occasion when he
| worked on a railroad and a certain
amount of poor tax was deducted from
his wages.
The Justice asked him if he had ever
been in jail. He unhesitatingly answer
ed "no." "Not even in the lookup p
