and at 4:3O when the men stopped
work for the day, Brown started from
Winslow Junction to HaNmonton,
where he lives and was accompanied
by some of the Italians of the gang
with whom he had quarrelled. From
that time he has not been seen and
his whereabouts Is a mystery.

ed by his fellow-employes have search
ed the woods between Hammonton and

Old Gentleman Said His Son Was at
Home Until After the Hour That Erase
Was Shot-AIso Claimed That the

The strongest line of defense In the
Harrison Baum case was developed
Friday afternoon just before adjourn
ment, when Levi Baum was placed up
on the stand and testified that his son
came home about o'clock the even
ing of the shooting and did not leave
the house until the old gentleman had
retired, and not after that, according
to his best judgment. Levi Is the faith

was out at the barn tying the cows
the young man came out to get some
oil to grease his shoes. When the faith
er returned to the house. the boy was
applying the grease. He had on felt
boots that evening About 1880 the old
man retired and afterward heard the
others coming to bed. The Significance
of this is shown by the fact that the
shooting occurred not later than 7:16
at point over mile away. The wit
ness had not concluded his testimony
when the court adjourned.
It Is understood that three other
members Of the family will be called
to corroborate the old man In his tes-

Druggist Louis Koch of Canton had
weighed the shot taken from Frase's
face and found them to- be No. 7 in

Habits in the Child.

The following is taken from a paper
on Habits and Will, by Mrs. Theodore
W. Blrney, In the DeIineator for Sep
TENDER: "The habits of reverence,
gentleness, courtesy, honesty, courage
and patience, like their opposites, are
absorbed by the child from those with
whom he is most closely associated. 1t
is in these attributes that an ounce of
example outweighs ton of precept. 1t
is a charming custom to lose no oppor-
tunity either in reading fiction or in
the circumstances attending on every
day living to express an enthusiastic
appreciation of the good, the noble,
beautiful and trne, but valuable be
yond and beyond all discussion of these
virtues is, 'To be as nearly as we can
what we wish our children to be. ,"

Points In Fashionable Millinery

The high crown remains popular
style, in straw as well as in lace chif-
fon and tulle, In almost every in
stance the brim is wide all around,
with a slight flare off the face. Plumes
and tips offer manifold possibilities in
the adornment of high-crowned hats.
The revival of the little bonnet with
strings will undoubtedly become more
general as the season advances. Cos
samer materials and straw braids are
used to fashion them, and ostrich tips,
lace and sequins form the decoration,
with the strings usually of velvet rib
bon. The youthful lace looks especi
ally we'll under a fiat plateau or the
new sailor with very low crown and
rather wide brim, though either shape
may be varied by rolling back the brim
on one or both sides or by rising it
with a bandeau. For those who have
trek of straw there are the smartest
hats in white, gray or fawn felt, with a
simple ribbon or fawn felt, with a sim
pie ribbon or scarf trimming. Velvet
ribbon in widths varying from half an
inch to two inches is much in demand
in the millinery world. The broad
widths are used to form the quillings
that encircle the low crowns of the new
sailors, as we'll as for bows androsettes.
Both fruit and flowers are to be popu'
lar decorations for the early Autumn
hat, and in the reds, dep greens anC
sere brown shades they are particularly
