MIRROR IS DECEPTIVE.
Every Woman Who Depends Upon the Shining Glass; Is Victim of
 Misplaced ConnGence.

Ones reflection in a mirror never does one justice. Comfortable thought for the plain and pretty alike! Com plexion, expression and color are all really better than the shining glass makes them appear. Let not her to whom nature has been sparing of her charms despair. If she would see herself in the deceptive mirror as others see her with the eye, or as near ly as possible, let her hasten to a draper's shop and buy a quantity of soft, pure white material-gauze, if possible; if not, swiss or india muslin will answer very well.
 Be sure to have it pure white, and, after polishing the surface of>the mir TOT, gather the material at the center of the top and bring it down softly at either side, framing the glass in folds of pure white. When this is done to artistic satisfactiop, peep in and see what a transformation, suggests an exchange. The true tints Of the com plexion, the expression Of the coun- tenance and the eyes, the correct color of the hair will be very accurately re- 1ected. This is one of the m;lliner's oldest secrets. Many of the most art ful of them drape the glasses in the softest drapery of pure white. It is done with the view of giving their fair patronesses the best view of them selves possible. administering in this way little subtle fattery.

THOSE FREAK STAMPS
East Hampton People Reaped a Har-

hast Hampton People Reaped a liar
 vest From Stamp Collectors.
 East Hampton town was set excited Wednesday evening by the news that ". F. .. smith had received S15O for oo or the new 1-cent3 Pan-Alnerican stamps With the cut of the steamer upside down. J. J. Scott, a New York dealer in stamps and coins, had heard of the freak stamps through articles III the papers, and hurried to East Hampton, but he was not the only one. Stamp collectors and dealers in curios sWarmed into the village like so many bees, Including q student of Trinity college, and men from New Haven, Hartford and other places Postmas- ter Carpenter was also overwhelmed with letters
 MT Scott, however, was the lucky man. First, he offered MT Smith S1OO for his freak stamps This offer was refused, but on being raised to $15O was accepted, q very good invest ment for the small outlay of only 50 cents. But it was MT Smiths far sightedness in the first plact that made the big profit possible. Satur- day, 100 1-cent stamps were sent up to the office of the Summit Thread company, where MT Smith is employ ed. One of the other employees of the office, noticing the stamps were wrong as to the cut of the steamer, decided te send them back to the postoffice. MT Smith, however, decided to take 90 of them as souvenirs, and the other 30 were sent back. A few of these were sold out, and later the A remain ing were purchased by Ralph Waite of New Haven, who was keen enough to see they were valuable. Postmas ter H E. Carpenter looked over his oth CT stamps, but those showing the steamer on the deep upside down were missing. The local office was among the first to receive Pan-Amer- ican stamps. MT Scott said he stood ready to pay s each should any more freak stamps turn up. He left for New Haven to look up Ralph Waite and buy his stamps. As one man remark ed: ."Talk about Wall street, why, it isn't in it with East Hampton and her freak stamps.

ACQUITTED BY JURY.
Prof. Eastman, of Harvard, Cleared
 of Murder Charge.
One of the Most Sensational Cases Ever Tried in the United States History of the Shooting
 of MT. Grogan.

2 I- l s Charles R. Eastman, of Cambridge sMass., professor of paleontology at Harvard college, has been acquitted of the charge of murder. Eastman was on trial, accused of the premed- itated killing of his brother-in-law. Richard H. Grogan, on the afternoon of July 4, 1900, while engaged in a target-practice match on the estate of Alvin Clark, the celebrated lens maker.
 Charles R. Eastman, for several years an instructor in the Agassiz museum at Harvard college, was charged With the murder of his brother-in-law, Richard H. q Grogan, Jr., at the Alyan Clark estate, Brook line street, Cambridge, on the after noon of July 4 last.
 Owing to the prominence of the two families and the many interest ing features entering into the case, the trial attracted widespread atten- tion.
 Eastman and Grogan married daughters of the late Alvan Clark, the famous telescope maker. MT. and Mrs. Eastman lived in the old Clark homestead, while MT. and Mrs. Gro gan occupied part of house on the same estate.
 Fourth of July, 1900, was day of 1nerry-making on the old Aivan Clark estate in Cambridge, but it ended tragically. Eastman and Grogan be- gan early in the morning, like two boys, to celebrate the national anni- versary indicative of independence. They were in the back yard, lighting punk and shooting off crackers. They seemed to be enjoying the sput- tering, snapping sport in a most

friendly way. Later they engaged in target practice. After lunch they went to swimming races and on their return resumed target practice.
 The fatal shot was fired about 5: sc o'clock.
 The crack of the pistol attracted nc attention at the moment, because blank cartridges were being exploded and torpedoes were banging through out the neighborhood and all over the city of Cam bridge.
 Grogan was seen running and stag gering toward the house. He fell on the grassy einbanknent, the life blood flowing from his wound, never to rise. Eastman followed from the hen inclosure, placed a 44-caliber re- volver in 9 chair in plain sight on the embankment, and knelt down by the side of his dying brother-in-law.
 Grogan, just before death, made several accusing statements in single sentences which subsequently, were used by the authorities as a founda- tion on which to lay case for arrest and for an indictment

 The Harvard instructors trousers were burned and he was slightly wounded in the thigh. That night he was arrested at his home.
 Upon examination, Judge Amy, of the Cambridge district court, found no probable cause upon which to hold Eastman, and released him. The case was taken to the grand jury in Octo- Der, and Eastman was indicted for murder. When arraigned he pleaded "Not guilty
 Since late in October Eastman has been confined at the Middlesex coun- ty house of correction, East Cam bridge. A few weeks ago counsel made motion to admit him to bail. but it was refused by Judge Gaskill. Eastman employed his time in jail in reading and writing, and, while smarting under his confinement, stood the strain remarkably well. His wife stood by him devotedly.

attempting to form a European com bination against American industries isCount Agenor Goluchowski, imperial chancellor of Austria-Hungary. He would place an embargo on all goods from America similar to that placed by Napoleon at the beginning of the last century on all goods from Flu rope. Such an embargo is practically impossible, and anyone but man with the Austrian counts hatred of America and Americans would be able to see that it was.
 The count should be friend rather than foe of America, for his wife, to whom he is said to be devoted, has a strong tinge of American blood in her veins, her grandmother having been Miss Fraser, of Philadelphia. But the wife has all the hatred of the husband for Americans, and disikes being reminded of the fact that her grandmother was not only an Ameri- can, but at one time a governess in Bordentown, N. J. Her father, Prince Joachim Murat, some ten years ago desired to marry Miss Caldwell, of Washington, and was engaged to her, and it was the wife of Count Golu- chowski who led the family opposi- tion to such a match, and insisted on such marriage settlements as no self respecting American girl would con sent to. She it was who induced her not unwilling husband to offer his father-in-law an annuity larger than that offered by the prospective bride if he would but cancel the en- gagement It was Miss Caldwell, how. ever, who finally did break the engage ment, much to the satisfaction of the count and his wife.
 At the present time it is purely per sonal prejudices that have led Count Goluchowski to associate himself with the movement to place an embargo on American. goods entering European ports, movement that if it should succeed would but react upon the peo- pie of Europe themselves by raising the prices on commodities to such an extent that would eventually result in a popular revolution against European monarchies.

BOUGHT HISTORIC HOME.
Carl stoeckle has Purchased the John
 Brown Homestead.

MT Stoeckel of Norfolk, who has pur- chased the John Brown homestead in Torrington, proposes to hold the place until a John Brown association is formed, when he will make a deed of gift to such an association. The house is in dilapidated condition, but can be restored. and MT Stoeckel suggests that. after such restoration has been made and custodian put in charge, the house should be made a museum for relics of John Brown and his time.
 J. H. Vaill of Winsted has very valuable autograph letter from John Brown, which was written to MT YalIs father, Rev Dr Vaill, while Brown was awaiting execution in Charles town jail MT Vaill has had repeated requests for the letter from historical and other societies, but has preferred to retain it, as a family heirloom, John Brown having been one of Dr VailFs pupils. If the Brown house should be made a depository for such relics Dr Vaill will deposit the letter there. Other reminders of John Brown and his time are known to exist in Litch- field county and have been promised for the proposed museum.
 1t is an interesting fact that John Browns father, Owen Brown, went from Norfolk and purchased the John Brown place in 1799 and now after the lapse of century the property has been conveyed to another Norfolk man, who has expressed the wish that his ownership be brief in order that so valuable an historic relic should not remain in the hands of an individual

It is to his writings that much of the credit must be given for the interest that capitalists are now taking in that section of our coun- try. He has also given considerable study to the possibilities of South and Central American countries, and it is probably because of this that the pres ident selected him as a delegate to the congress in Mexico.

nation through an expensive war has fallen, and leaders in each and every taxed industry have advanced reasons why theirs should be the one exception to the general rule.
 But while the task is a heavy one there is no man in England who is probably better able to stand it than is Sir Michael. His position at the head of the governments finances is an es- tablished one, he having served through three consecutive ministries as the head of the exchequer.
 His first service as cabinet officer was in 1877, when he became secretary for Ireland, which he held for one year, and during which time he made many friends among the Irish people. In 1878 he became secretary for the colonies, and since that time has been conspicuous whenever the conserva- tives were in power. During the years that he has managed the financial af- fairs of the kingdom he has made many friends as we'll as enemies by his way of telling the strict truth re- garding EnglaRd's financial resources. He has at times stepped heavily upon British pride, but his counsels have al- ways been proven to have been wise ones. While he now has a new force of enemies to contend against for time it is believed that his position in the government has in reality been strengthened rather than weakened. He is 64 years of age.

the French legation for the last four years.
 M. de Margerie is but 39 years of age, but has already attained reputation of being one of the most promising of the younger school of French diplo- mats, and has served his country with considerable distinction for several years. He began his public career in the ministry of foreign affairs, and afterwards served in Constantinople and at Peking. He is recognized as an authority on the Chinese subject, hay ing made a special study of the condi- tions in that country during the time he was stationed at Peking, and at that time predicted the coming of the. Boxer revolution. It is said that it is because of his knowledge of the Chi nese situation that he is now being sent to Washington, as the French government realizes the important part this country will play in the set clement of the difficulties there, and they desire to have man well versed in Chinese politics to assist NJ. Cambon in his dealings with our state depart ment on the Chinese difficulty.
 The wife of NJ de Margerie will be welcome addition to Washington off cia1 society. She is a sister of NJ. de Rostrand, the well-known author, and is equally as bright as her talented brother. She is especially gifted with conversational powers and is pro- nounced one of the wittiest and brightest women of the French diplo-' matic corps.

 the cause of Cuba Libre. During the long years of war that preceded Amer jean intervention 1t was Tomas Es- trada Palma the American public knew as the Cuban junta in New York. He it was who sent guns, ammunition, provisions and soldiers into Cuba to keep alive the spark of insurrection. There were others connected with the New York junta, but it was Palma the American public knew, and in whom the American confidence reposed. The life of Palma has been an active one, spent almost entirely in the serv- ice of his country. He is descended from an ancient Spanish family, but is a native Cuban by birth and lover of national liberty by training. He was born in 1885, and when but little more than boy began the study of law in Spain. When he returned to Cuba he began the agitation that ended with Cuban freedom from Spain He was prominent figure in the Cuban rebel lion of the '70's, and in 1877 was elected president of the short-liyed Cuban re- public. As president of the republic he was commander in chief of the Gu ban forces and served in the field with them. When Spain finally conquered the rebellious subjects he for one re- fused to swear allegiance to the Span ish crown and went to Honduras, in which country he soon became promi- nent in political life. From 1883 to the end of the last Cuban war he was resident of this country.
