go During the Process.

English explorers and scientists have
brought back Il series of remarkable
specimens OF Maori tattooing from the
interior of New Zealand. The most as
tonishing designs were found on the
faces of the women.
The faces and bodies Of the women
are SO covered with these blue marks
that they look as if they had on a tight
fitting chintZ dress.
The instrument employed in tattooing
to obtain tho deep burrows is usually
made Of bone, having a sharp edge like
a chisel and shaped in the fashion of a
garden hoe. Another style is made of a
shark S tooth.
The tattooing of. the women is com
menced when about the age OF fifteen
or eighteen and continues until they
reach middle age. Most of the masters
of the art are professionals, who &c
from village to village and arc highly
paid for their services. The pattern
about to be engraved is first outlined
on the face with small stick dipped in
powdered charcoal, after which the
skin is gashed and the coloring or pig.

"When had an attack Of the grip

myself to pieces by taking teaspoon
full of the remedy, and when the cough
ing spell would come on at night
would take dose and it seemed that
in the briefest interval the cough would
pass off and l would go to sleep per-
fectly free from cough and its accom-
panying pains. 70 say the remedy

that it would or could knock out the
grip, simply because [ had never tried
it for such purpose, but it did, and

were far less severe, and [ had not

story of young Clergyman whose first
appointment was to be an out OF the

On his first Sunday in this new sta
ton the young man as he looked over
his wretchedly clad and ignorant con-
gregation could not help saying to HIM
self, with groan:
Dear me, what dreadful thing it
would be if l should have to stay here
any great length of timer
At the end of the sermon deacon
made a prayer. 70 the young mans
horror one part of the prayer was q
benevolent hope that this ignorant, in

lately come to the parish might i'm

good works, SO that he would come to
merit being kept on there for awhile"

PERTLS or HOr SHOPPING.


A young woman in well-Atting garments
sauntered into Sixth avenue shop yester-
day, glad to get out Of the sun and enjoy
the artificial breeze that swept the aisles.
She approached counter where special
sale Of shirt waists was going on. Taking
OF her sailor hat for greater coolness she
tossed IL down ON q stool and began to
paw over the waists in an aimless way.
just then she fell under the notice Of a
businesslike little woman armed with a
notebook, which presumably reminded her
that one Of her errands took her to this
waist sale. She hadn't been able to get
saleswoman to wait on her, and when
she saw this hatless maiden she stepped
up TO her and said:
Miss, will you please wait on me instead
OF standing around here posing and loo king
at yourself In the mirror7 I've been wait
ing over -"
whats that2" exclaimed the hatless one.
-I'd like to be waited on when you get
through showing Off" said the shopper
But I'm not a saleswoman," said the
other.
-Oh. I beg your pardon" said the little
woman. and In her confusion she went
right over and sat down on tho stool and
the sailor hat.

BALTIMORE, Nd. , July 11.-With a revolver
lying by his side and a bullet hole in his
right temple, Walter II. Coggeshall, son
OF ex-State Senator Henry j. Coggeshall,
OF New York, and the sole member Of the
brokerage firm of Walter II. Coggeshall Il
Co., South street, was found dead at his
home, 1895 Park avenue, late last night
The body was discovered by party of
Mr. Coggeshall's business friends. He had
been dead for at least nine hours when his
remains were discovered.
Coroner Hirsch decided that Mr.. Cogges-
hall had committed suicide. kilograms were
at once sent to his father and to his wife and
children, who are visiting Senator Cogges-
hall in Waterville, N. Y. At the Coggeshall
office 1t was announced to-day that all
outstanding contracts with customers would
be closed out at the opening quotations on
the New York stock market. W. Z. White
ford, bookkeeper said the customers could
be paid dollar for dollar. AS Mr.. Coggeshall
had no partners the business is brought
to a standstill by his death
1t was said that money troubles could
not have been the cause of the suicide as
the business was in a prosperous condi-
tion. The brokerage business of the con-
cern, it was said, was handled through
the Consolidated Stock Exchange of New
York, but the offices present the appear
ance Of a bucket shop and this is the Street
impression of the nature of the business
Several acquaintance OF Mr.. Cogges-
hall said he was In the habit of going ON
periodical sprees and that he started on
one on last Monday. For the last few
days, 1t is said, he had been drinking
absinthe, and his nerves were in a bad
condition. The theory of those who know
him, is that In fit Of remorse brought on
| by his condition, he took his life. his
| home life is said to have been agreeable,
and. so far as known, he did not want for
money.
Mr.. Coggeshall was 80 years old He
came to Baltimore two years ago. His
neighbors knew but little of him
Walter b. Coggeshall was appointed an
Inheritance Tax Appraiser for New York at
s. 900 year on May 8, 1900, by State Comp
| troller Morgan. Theodore Roosevelt was
Governor. This was shortly after Cogge-
shall's father, Senator Coggeshall had
| voted for the repeal Of the Horton boxing
law, although it had been understood that
he was opposed to the repeal, which the
Governor was urging.
A short time after his appointment young
Coggeshall gave up his 81 900 job by request
| from Albany. His resignation was never
explained by him 1t came out. however,
that one Of his first cases was the appraise-
ment OF the estate Of Marie Echler The
estate was estimated AT over n million
His report to the Surrogate was set aside
by agreement on the ground that it was
| full Of inaccuracies
Coggeshalls appraisement was wiped
of the records and then came the request
for his resignation He practsed law in
| this city for a while after that.

Alleges Alienation OF Affections and Gets
Order OF Arrest on the Ground That
Actress-SuitOr for Bennett Estate 10
About to Leave Courts Jurisdiction.
Supreme Court Justice Trlax issued
an order yesterday for the arrest of Laura
Biggar, the actress who achieved notoriety
some months ago because of her claim to
the estate of Henry W. Bennett Pitts
burg manufacturer. The order for Miss
Biggar's arrest was issued in the suit OF
Mrs. Charles c. Hendrick, wife Of the doc
tor who was tried with Miss Biggar ON
criminal charges.
Mrs. Hendrick has begun suit in the
Supreme Court in this county to recover
100000 from Miss Biggar for the aliena-
ton of her husbands affections, and she
asked that the defendant be arrested be-
cause she was about to leave the courts
jurisdiction. Justice TruaX directed that
Miss Bggar be held in s5, 900 cash bail when
found. When the Sheriff's Office closed
yesterday she had not been arrested.
In the criminal proceedings it was all
legged that the child which Laura Biggar
said was Benefits was not his, but DIR.
Hendricks. Miss Biggar was acquitted,
but the doctor was convicted and sentenced.
He got out on 5000 bail pending an appeal.
Mrs. Hendrick then began suit for
separation and an order was issued for the
arrest of Hendrick. II is said, however,
that it has been impossible to serve this
order because of his continued residence
in New Jersey.
In her. affidavit in the alienation suit
which was filed yesterday, Mrs Hendrick
recites at length the history Of her family
troubles. She says that she married Hem
drick in November, 1894, and that they lived
happy until Miss Biggar appeared, and
that then he abandoned her.
After Hendricks arrest, Mrs. Hendrick
saws that he sent her from his lodging in
jail this note;
My DEAREST WIFE am almost ashamed
TO write to YOU agnes sII Know know c tnMt Ws hMyS
to see me; for Gods sake. come down This
will be n lesson TO me for lie. Your loving
husband, CHARLIE
Mrs. Hendrick says that she went to him
in iai and consoled him. She says that he
promised to reform and to leave Miss Biggar
Forever When he was released on ball.
however, he failed to keep his promise,
Mrs HendriCk says, and she traced him
to Miss Biggar's house at ll0 East Eighty
third street
Mrs. Hendrick says that when she found
her husband he told her that 1t was
useless for her to make any further efforts
to get him to live with her, that Miss
Biggar had promised to take care OF him
and to give him large share of the sum
which the est ate of Henry NJ. Bennett
had agreed to give her, and that he no
longer cared for any woman save Miss
Biggar.
