Vienna, Oct. 2S.-While the mour-
ners at the burial Of a new born baby
we're taken refreshment at the village of
Trebowitz, Bohemia, recently, an eleven
year old girl named Pauline stole the
corpse when no one was looking. She
took it away from the house, dressed it
as doll and played with it for several
days. Meanwhile the relatives were
searching everywhere for the remains.
Finally the girl became tired of her toy
and threw it on a stone heap, where it
was found. Doctors who have examin-
ed Pauline declare that her mental con-
dition is normal.

WEDNESDAY EVENING, OCT. %, 1908

FopTy YEARS ago some Marylanders
and many soldiers who were In that
State at the time voted to n,anumlt all
the negroes of that commonwealth who
were held in slavery. Maryland planters
always contended that the government
should have paid for the slaves thus
liberated as that State never went out
Of the union. and that it was against all
ideas of Justice to take any mans proper
ty without paying for it. But the civil
war was in progress and no attention
was paid to the protest. The conferrlng
of franchise followed, and now, two score
years after the enactment of these scenes
the negro question is again an issue ID
MARYLAND and will, in fact, be the para
mount one at the approaching election
While for many reasons the Marylanders,
like their brethren in other parts OF the
southern country, realize that they have
no further use for slaves, they are de-
cidedly averse to allowing unrestricted
negro suffrage to prevail any longer
In line with Senator Germans speech
last Saturday on the race question, Mr..
Isidor Rayner, State Attorney General
and democratic candidate for United
States Senator, has gone a step furtner
and declared in favor of DISTINGUISHING
the negroes. 1t now appears certain
that should the democrats win on the
race issue in the election next Tuesday
a bill will be passed by the next legls-
lature to restrict the suffrage OF the sixty
thousand negro voters in Maryland. At
torney General Rayner says the rign'
never should have been conferred on the
negro. because the amendment TO 'ne
federal constitution giving him that
right was never constitutionally adopted
Mr. Rayner says the disfranchisemen'
of the negro is movement toward SELL
preservation.

Do Good-It PAYS.

A Chicago man has observed that,
"Good deeds are better than real estate
deeds-some of the latter are worthless.
Act kindly and gently, show sympathy
and lend helping hand. You cannot

preciate kind word and encourage
ment more than substantial help.
There are persons in this community
who might trutbfully say: "My good
friend, cheer up. A few doses OF

You of your cold, and there is no danger
whatever from pneumonia when you use
that medicine. 1t always cures. L

THE MURDER of the King and
Queen ofServia recently, that of Sagouni,
President of the Armenian Revolutionary
Society, in London Monday evening, the
attempt to kill Prince Galitzin at
1iais, Russia, yesterday, and the
attempt yesterday to murder President
Diaz of Mexico, show that the spirit OF
assassination is as pronounced now as
ever, and that visions of an approaching
millennium, which some pretend to see,

of Philip of Macedon or of julius Cesar.

The fashion outlook for the winter prom
ises a great diversity in colorng, material
and design. AS has been the case for sew
eral seasons, individuality of taste is al
lowed full sway, yet anything crude or too
striking will meet with approval. All crudi-
insure artistic results.
AS yet, il is impossible to saw that anv
type of dress is TO be the one for the COM
ing winter There is evident a desire to re-
turn to the old-fashioned styles that pre-
vailed generation ago, desire to do
away with the exaggerated long-waisted
effect, and to bring in the flounced wide
skirts in place of the close-ftting and al
most too clinglng ones that have found
such favor for the last two or three years
to accentuate slenderness, and have tight
fitting waists rather than the loose grace
full ones, and to bring sharply into promi-
nence the lines of the bust But that this
has already been proved impossible is seen
In the great diversity of gowns and also
in the combinations OF the diverse ideas
There are very few waists made with the
exaggerated straight front and dispropor-
evening gowns with very long narrow
points In front and quite high on the hips.
There are wide bodices and gridles i'm the
place of the narrow belts, made of the
same material as the gown. and yet there
are any number of exquisite creations of
the models favored where the narrowest
possible belt is used, so that there shall be
no dividing line at the waist But on the
whole the wide, draped, pointed belt prom
iseS TO be one of the marked features of
the seasons gowns. These belts are draped
over the fitted and boned waist and as
rule little pad of sachet is tackled inside
the lining just above the waist to improve
the line of the figure.

Walking suits are suffering some detrac-

that a simple street suit is preferable. 1t
