which to win back her husbands love.
When she applied the charm her husband
few into q rage and buokled on his war

closing 1t in an envelope, bound 1t ON the

velope in place, to be worn until Wednesday
night. Last night when Cornell could not
be found the negro opened the envelope

The Kings county Grand Jury for March

sThe jury are especially impressed with

There are several reformatorios and
societies in the county for the reform and
