The WOman's Hotel.
New York Times.

New York Times.
There over 800 applications for rooms
at the Martha Washington Hotel, on East
Twenty-ninth street, A charming woman
coming from Washington recently was
guest at the hotel for one evening. She
said that it was impossible for her to eat
her dinner in the dining room. as she had
never seen so many women gathered to-
gether without the relief of a black coat.
There was an orchestra and a gentle MUIR
muir of conversation. After dinner women
thronged about the office and Hobbies, and
II seemed an Adamless Eden. However
during the evening there were many call
ers of the other sex. The absence of the
absurd ruls which the late A T. Stewart
had arranged for his womans hotel many
years ago and the emancipation of women
from the narrow lines of those days have
made the difference between success and
failure.

HOME DRESSMAKING HINTS.
By MAY MANTON.

Little children are always effectively
dressed when wearing garments cut with
waist and skirt in one. This very pretty lit
tie frock combines a Russian front with a
box plated back and is well adapted to boys
up to four years Of age and to girls until
they reach the age of six. The only change
that is necessary to convert II from the
masculine to. the feminine garment is that

RUSSIA GIVES NOTICE
WILL NOT RECEIVE REPRESEN.
TATIoNS REGARDING KISHIN-
EFF INCIDENT.

Washington, June 11.-Numerous
offers have reached the Russian gov.
eminent from American sources to
aid the families of sufferers in the re.
cent Kishineff incident. All such Of.
fers have been declined for the reason
that Russia is entirely capable of ex.
tending relief and under the circum.
stances cannot accept outside aid.
The Russian position in the matter
is stated to be as follows:
Russia has not been unappreciative
of the generous offers which have
come to her from America since the
affair at Kishinetf, nor the humane
motive which may have prompted
these offers. In view of the fact that
his majesty, the emperor, has the
means at hand to relieve suffering
wherever it appears in his empire,
outside aid Is unnecessary and all OF.
fers of such must be declined.
"Nor will it be possible for Russia
to receive any representations regard.
ing the Kishineff incident from for
eign power. The Russian government
takes the same position as that
long held by the American govern.
ment, namely, that it refrains from in.
reference in the internal affairs OF
another power and must insist on
similar treatment for itself. Should
any foreign power take steps to re.
strict immigration of Russian Jews on
the ground that they are undesirable
Russia will not protest."

PRESIDENT CORNWALL MISSING
His Bank Is Short Almost Three Hun
dred Thousand Dollars.

Birmingham, Ale, June 11.-With
President T. j. Cornwall in parts I'm.
known and short nearly $2S0,000, the
Bessemer savings bank, one of the
strongest institutions in the district,
will close its doors and ask for a re-
ceiver.
President Cornwall left three notes
explaining the shortage.
In one, addressed to the public, he
says that he lost the money trying to
make back $4,000 he had lost in a
legitimate business transaction. He
further exonerates all the officers of
the bank and takes the whole blame
on himself.
In a letter to his wife, he stated
that he would not commit suicide, but
would let her know if he died. In a
third letter, addressed to Cashier
Cockrill, he states that he had moth
ing left to do but wander on the face
of the earth or become a convict in
the state mines"
The shortage will not affect the
their paper out.
1t is understood that great part of
the money was in deposits of the
merchants and miners. together with
employees of the rolling mills, furnaces
and industrial plants of Bessemer.
The city of Bessemer will lose ST.
600. ~
The bank will probably not be able
to meet a payment of more than a
small percentage on it's deposits. The
bank was organized in 1901 with a
capital Of 100000, and had deposits
of about $260000.

MURDER OF MARCUM
VICTIMS SISTER SAYS GUSTS
JETT TOLD HER HE DID THE
SHOOTING.

Jackson, KY, June 1.-THE third
day Of the trial of Curtis Jet and
Thomas White for the murder of At
torney j. B. Marcum was distinguish
ed by the evidence of B. l.. Even, the
first and leading witness of the COM
monwealth. Jett and White are try
ing jointly, the indictment charging
them with deliberation in a conspiracy
to murder. 1t is charged that White
entered tho courthouse while Marcum
and Even were standing together and
as he passed them gave the signal to
fire. Even testified to seeing White
Just before and after Marcum was
shot, and to seeing Jet just after his
victim was carried out of the court
house. Ewen's testimony corroborat-
ed the statements he had previously
made regarding both prisoners and he
withstood a rigid cross examination.
In the morning when the witnesses
were ordered out of the courtroom, At
torneys for the defendants asked that
County Judge Hargis be allowed to
remain.
On the objection of attorneys for
the commonwealth being sustained,
witnesses. When court recOnvened in
the afternoon the daughter of County
Judge Hargis, the leader of the dOmi-
nant feudists, occupied seat beside
the prisoners. At the afternoon sit
ting of the court, attorneys for the de-
PENDANTS moved to dispense with the
presence of troops in the courtroom
and were overruled.
Makes Startling Statement.
At night Mrs. Mary Johnson, sister
of the murdered attorney, made a
statement which is even more start
ling than Ewen's admission. In his
statement in the morning, Common
wealth's Attorney Byrd said that it
would be proved that Jet admitted to
Mrs. Johnson that he killed 'Marcum.
In the evidence in the afternoon it was
stated that Jett and White were seen
talking to Mrs. Johnson at the bridge.
Mrs. Johnson confirms what Byrd said
would be her testimony, adding that
she feared to tell this earlier, believ-
ing she would be assassinated.
GAS was returning home shortly
after the killing" she said, Il was
overtaken by Jet. He spoke to me,
and l said: Jet, did you kill my
brother?' He replied L did. but Har-
gis' money made me do it. He said
he was going to leave the country.
Then Tom White came up and
asked him if he had anything to do
with the murder and he said he was
there, but did not fire the shot"
Byrd says other witnesses will tes-
tify that Jet admitted that he killed
Marcum.
