THREE BORN ON SAME DAY
FEASTING AND JOY AT THE HOME
OF JAMES H. MOORE.
His Three Sons Were Each Born on
Dec. 10-A Coincidence That
Has No Equal.

There was unusual feasting and joy In
the home of James II. Moore, 1725 Belle
fontaine street yesterday and last night.
1t was the birthday of the Moore boys,
three in number. There are three of them.
no twins, and each was born on Dec. IS.
Such an unusual coincidence has not been
reported anywhere else in the country, and
Mr. Moore has long searched for another
family that had three children all born on
the same day of the month.
c. F. Moore is now twenty-five years old,
his brother, A. r. Moore, is thirteen, and
Byron Moore is eleven, and they joined in
a triple celebration yesterday. Mr.. Moore
has daughter. but she was not born In
December. The three boys received great
congratulations, even If their birthdays
seem to overshadow the immediate Christ
mas season. Mr.. Moore says the two events
are just as separate in his family If they
were months apart.

CRUSHED BY AN ELEVATOR
DEATH OF JOHN WOODS, COLORED
JANITOR AT THE MAJESTIC.
Explanation Made by John II. Pearson,
Who Has. Charge of the building
Former Employment.

John Woods, one of the colored janitors
in the Majestic building, was crushed to
death last night at $50 o'clock by one
of the elevators. Woods's head and legs
were terribly crushed. Death was instan-
taneous. No one was witness to Woods s
death. as he was working by himself on
the sixth floor.
There are three sets of elevators in the
building and in some manner one OF the
carriages was started upward. The car
rose slowly and Woods made an effort to
stop it. The door leading from the sixth
floor was open and Woods stood on the
ledge of the floor waiting to grasp the
lever. When the car came opposite the
sixth floor the floor of the car caught
Woods's feet. He was knocked down and
in his efforts to rise his legs were crushed.
The upward movement of the car pulled
Woodss body against the elevator parti-
ton and his head was crushed.
The car stopped when Woods's head was
caught. He was wedged between the floor
of the building and the elevator. The
screams which he uttered when he was
first caught attracted the other janitors.
who rushed to his assistance. When they
reached Woods he was dead The elevator
was ioWereu anu Noous pouy was TAKEN
out. DR.. Goodwin, of the City Dispensary,
took the body TO the morgue. Woods was
twenty-three years old, married, and lived
on West Pratt street.
Mr.. John r. Pearson has an explanation
for the accident. He thinks Woods, who
was working on the sixth floor. in order
to obviate the walk downstairs, pulled the
cable and started the elevator upward. He
was unable to get into the cage from the
sixth floor corridor and met his death.
Woods had worked at the Majestic but
a short time and was formerly employed
as coachman by II. o. Hawkins.

that the several counties Of the State VIII
be unable TO buy voting machines until the

UNITED STATES CONSTITUTION.

Still another question that is raised in
connection with the machines is whether
their is not barred by the letter or
spirit of the United States Constitution
A prominent attorney said last night in re-
gard to this point:
1T is one of the first principles in the
foundation of the Republic that every cit
iZen may vote for whom he chooses at any
election. He is not limited to the candl-
dates placed on the ballots by the various
party organiZa tions. In the Australian bal-
lot system a provision is made whereby
the voter may vote for other men than
those named in the tickets by pasting a
slip of his to the regular ballot L
doubt If this prerogative has ever been
exercised, but in order that no question as
to the constitutionality of the law might
be raised this provision was made. Under
the Constitution, when l go into the voting
booth and find that the tickets contain
only the names OF John Jones and John
Smith, while L want to vote for John
Brown, / am entitled to vote for the man OF
nv choice The present ballot system
makes that possible. Will ii be possible
If machines are used?
However voting machines have been
used in New York for several years, and
some means has been found TO make their
adoption constitutional so far the United
States Constitution is concerned. Conse-
quently it is to be inferred that similar re-
suits may be attained IN Indiana"

Benefits of Exercise.

Next to bodily cleanliness, exercise may
be reckoned as the greatest aid to beauty.
In fact, exercise is almost necessary to
cleanliness, for Il is a great incentive to
perspiration, which is natures way Of
throwing the impurities OF the body to
the surface OF the skin. from when they
are then removed by the use Of water. OPEN
air exercise should be taken every day, but
according to strength. One should return
home after walking. riding or cycling with
q sense OF being pleasantly fatigued, but
without any feeling of exhaustion. Exer-
else should be taken regularly, and, n
possible, dumbbells should be used night
and morning. The corset should not be-
worn while exercising with dumbbeIls,

The beautiful plumed picture hats seen

the place of white, and appear on black

some one generally finds 1t a good invest

Hints of the Spring.

For a Parisian Bride.

A trousseau Of French bud who is to
be married shortly includes an exquisite
white crepe de chine gown plated all over
and bordered with garlands Of roses in
pink and white mousseline de soie For the
civil marriage the bride will wear a cos
tune in blue gray velvet. The skirt Is very
clinging spreading into a graceful train.
The gown Is princess in form. with a beau
tiful Irish lace collar and undersleeves and
a bolero trimmed with dull silver embroid-
cry and sable. A picture hat in black vel
vet, with long gray ostrich plumes, Is to
be worn with this. The wedding gown is In
dull silk, very graceful in cut. A f1chu of
tulle is knotted in front. falling in long
ends to the edge of the skirt which is also
trimmed with tulle in soft puffings held at
intervals with orange blossoms. The moth
er's gown for the marriage is delicious
conception Of Irish lace over a satin skirt,
with deep founces Of ermine. To be worn
with 1t Is a wonderful toque Of ernine and
soft gray-green velvet clasped with an art
nouveau buckle in dull gold. In the trous-
seau OF the bride are some exquisite furs,
including collar and nun In Russian sa-
bles and wonderful laces and old fans OF
real artistic value.

Then what had once been a reproach to

Rosettes, whose colors had some special
significance, were first used. A great many

ostrich feathers and fancy straw braids,
together with corarS laces and art nouveau
ornaments, are to be important factors in
spring millinery decorations. Rhinestone
buckles will be used largely with laces and
soft stuffs; therefore any one who sees a
cheap ornament of the sort at any of the
after holiday sales will do well to purchase
1t and lay it aside for use on her spring or
summer chapeau. Black and white, in
spite of it's already long reign, will be con-
tinued as a popular combination through
the summer season. 1t is expected that jet
decorations and black ornaments of the
cameo type will be utilized. Wings have

nothing in nature, are still very decorative

Evening coiffures are charmingly orna-
mented with wreaths of leaves Of holly,
laurel and ivy, which have particularly

Handsome hat pins are a part Of every

The Art of Eating.

A writer on matters Of etiquette gives
the following rules for the benefit Of those
who are uncertain of how to comport them
selves properly at table.
At breakfast-Do not leave your spoon
in your teacup.
Cut the top off your egg instead of peel
ing it.
II you have bacon or fish, have a sep
arate plate for your bread or toast, and
butter, but not when having only boiled
eggs. which require very careful eating, by
the bye, as nothing looks so nasty as yolk
Of egg spilled all over the plate and egg
cup.
Do not dip your tea or coffee with a
spoon.
Do not drain the cup.
At luncheon and dinner-Do not empty
every drop of soup from your plate.
Do not drink your soup from the point
Of your spoon, but from the side
Do not put salt or pepper on the side of
your plate-in fact, in France II is bad
form to ever take salt and pepper when
dining out, as 1t Is considered an insinua-
ton that the cook has not favored the
food properly
For fish do not use dessert knife In
stead Of the fish knife. II there be no fish
knife, use small crust of your bread,
fLSSS
Do not eat 1t afterward, as so many peo-
pie do.
Do not be dainty and fringe your plate
with bits of meat. Eat what you oan and
put any skin or bone on the edge Of your
plate in one little heap, which move down
from the edge when you have finished.
Do not crumple up your table napkin. II
you are only a guest for the day, do not
fold 1t up, but If you are staying on and
in a quiet household fold 1t up. If you are
staying in a big house where everything is
done zen grand prince" do not fold 1t up;
Just place 1t on the table when you leave,
as in rich establishments there are clean
napkins every day.
After eating 1t is well before you drink
to wipe your lips; otherwise you leave a
smeary mark on the glass.
Do not gulp liquids and bolt food
Do not masticate or swallow audibly.
Do not pile your plate with food or grasp
your knife, fork or spoon as IL 1t were a
weapon of warfare.
Do not crumble the bread by your side
or drain your glass to the last drop.
On the other hand, do not be affected and
eat as II an appetite was a crime. drink as
II you were dicxy bird and hold your
knife. fork and spoon as IL they were red

The French have adopted heather as their
favorite flower for the winter. Hats are
trim. med with clusters of 1t, and bits Of It
appear IN buttonholes and on the fronts of
muffs. Heather is the favorite flower of
the Russian empress, and everything con-
nected with that lady is now very popular
here. When she was in France recently
with heather, and when she left for home
the Partisan beauX and bellies made the
blossom their own. Therefore If you would
be chic spurn the lowly violet and take
unto yourself boutonniere of the delicate
heather bloom. Russian embroideries, or
limitations Of them, drape ultra smart mil
hrery. Those done in red and blue in
cross stitch upon q white background are
very quaint
Huge buckles frequently appear on the
