Helpless Invalid Left With Corpses.

Mexico, Mo May 1G.-Besides the
fact that Mrs. William 4. Greene was
carrying an infant in her arms when
her divorced husband shot her dead
with IA shotgun and then ended his
own Lie with Il pistol. the double
tragedy has another feature,
Mrs Greene was visiting at the
home of her sick sister in Montgom-
cry county when shewaS killed. The
sister was hedridden to such an en-
tent that alter Mrs. Greene had fall.
en- blood covered and grooming to
the floor in her dying agonies, the III
valid was unable to stir to give the
alarm or render any aid.
Meanwhile the second shot had
rung out, adding to the invalid $
fears, and the corpse OF Greene, the
suicide and murderer, lay near the
front door Some little children were
, in the house, sut they were too small
to he of any assistance, and thus the
sick woman spent the night in close
proximity to two cOrpses. 1t was
not until morning that neighbors
came from an adjoining farm and
closed the eyes OF Greene and his wife.
Mrs Greene was CARRYING new
born child Of her sister when she was
shot. The fact that this infant es-
capped serious injury is accounted for
by he theory t at Mrs. Greene must
have had an instant's warning and
that she dropped the baby to the
floor just as the shotgun sounded.

Mrs Hamilton,s Millinery Opening.

Today will go into the commercial
history of Brookhaven as one marked
with rare success at the Racket Store.
Mrs. Hamilton's elegant apartments
were never made more attractive and
elegant. Her show windows were
graced with ribbons galore, and flow
ers and feathers, while her lovely par
lors were adorned with the most ele-
CANT millinery, the attractiveness of
which was augmented by choice hot
house plants, palms, ferns and artistic
touches here and there, that made one
feel she was in fairyland, where hats
as we'll as plants grew to ones liking
and there was no need of common
place pocket books or the silver wheels
of Uncle Sam. But Mrs. Hamilton's
splendid hats, bonnets, etc., were sold
at reasonable figures; and so gracious
was this charming little lady and her
assistant, Miss East, that one almost
felt they were doing you a favor to
sell you their wares.
The ladies of Brookhaven and vi
cinity delight to visit this rendezvous
of choice millinery goods; for they have
become aware that Dame Fashion has
made one of her haunts in Mrs. Ham
ilton's parlors.

New Methods of Making Bows,

Special interest must be attached to
the different new methods of making
up bows, rosettes and other arrange
ments Of ribbon or piece material as
applicable to early winter hats. Louis
XIV. bows are now made of quilted
ribbon wired in the ordinary way. A
piece of the quilted ribbon may be
sewed in a circle round the center Of
the plateau and the rest of the ribbon
be- arranged in a very large wired
bow resting on the back of the hat,
which shelves down in the neck. The
under sides of some hats are trimmed
with narrow pompadour ribbons laid
fiat in the form of Louis XIV. bows
Bows made of No. II ribbon velvet
are often placed under the brim, loops
and ends hanging down behind the ear.
Fan shaped bows, with a great many
loops, for the back of hats, are some
times made of this ribbon, Sometimes
of piece velvet. Large bows of four or
more large loops, fastened in the cen
ter by buckle, are laid fiat on plateau
hats.-Millinery Trade Review.

Gowns For Autumn wear.

Very pretty gowns for autumn are
made of dotted silk null, of white silk
grenadine, silk yelling, silk batiste, lin
en- batiste and organdie. In these ma
terials some very dainty box plated
skirts are seen. These are cut in seven
cores, each gore having a plat that
covers the seam. The front gore is
narrow and plain, and gathered grad
uated founce is the finish. This is
tucked at the hem or inset with two or
three rows of lace insertion. This skirt
may be cut in nine cores. Circular
founces cut in handkerchief points,
edged with lace are a noticeable fea-
ture of these thin gowns. The lower
founce has straight edge, with fine
tucks and lace insertion at the hem.
Thirteen and even fifteen cores form
some of the skirts, whose centers are
arranged in groups of very fine tucks.
The cores are Joined with an open
stitch.

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 constitu-
tional remedies. Deafness is caused by an in
famed condition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets in
famed you have rumbling sound or imperfect
hearing, and when it is entirely closed deafness
is the result, and unless the Inflammation can
be taken out and this tube restored to its nor
NAL condition, hearing will be destroyed for
ever; nine cases out of ten are caused by
catarrh, which is nothing but an infiamed con-
dition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any
case of Deafness caused by catarrh) that can
not be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for
