j. c. Brownfeld, who was convicted
a the June 1902 term of court for per
jury in the Morrison case and senten-
ced to seven years and who was taken
to the penitentiary in December. where
he has been ever since, has been grant
ed a stay of execution by the supreme
court, pending hearing for a new trial

remain until the hearing in June, un-
less he gives bond. If the case should

A reporter visited DR.. Brownfeld at
the jail and found him looking unusual
~ we'll and in his usual iOvial mood.
He said he had been head day nurse
and assistant physician in the hospital

had first-class quarters and most eV-
erything he desired to eat with time
for reading, although he had consider
able work to do. He spoke very highly
of the treatment given the sick by the
penitentiary officials.

the limited correspondence, only being

weeks, and he SAYS he could not cor
respond with his large circle of friends.

seen recently was of pompadour mus

had layer Of pale green chiffon under
meath over foundation of still deep

with deep hem and no founces, but
was caught up slightly on the hips
with some suggestion of fullness which
reminded one of pannier. 1t was cut
slightly decollete at the neck with
vest of point d,alencon and fichu of

were fairly tight to the elbow, whence
came deep turned back gauntlet of
lace. With this were worn pointed

Whereas, In the construction of pipe

ascertainment and of the conditions now
prevailing, an emergency such as that

The little housewife must expect to
have something of struggle to keep her
hands dainty and nice to behold. If she
will resort to rubber gloves, if she will
use CASTLE soap instead of the ordinary
laundry kind when washing dishes, and
if she will ply skin food with energy and
dispatch, she will have fair chance for
success. Hot water will invariably cause
redness of the hands. so avoid it as
much as possible. Applications of lemon

is used will help heap.
