Nearly one year has elapsed since the
brutal murder of Kate Jordan. colored,
was committed at her home on Howard
avenue, Hillsdale, and her slayer is still
numbered among the unknown. 1t was
Christmas eve shortly after dark, when
the woman was attacked in her home and
cut to death with a big dirk. Robbery
was undoubtedly the motive, as the in
vestigation showed that the house had
been thoroughly searched. The inquest
over the woman'S remains was begun
short time after the cowardiy crime was
committed. and an adjournment was had
to give the police additional time to get
evidence. Coroner hewitt desired to finish
the inquest before the close of the year, as
heretofore stated, and the jurors who We're
summoned at that time reassembled at the
sixth precinct police station this morning.

perate one. beginning in the rear end of the
hall and continuing through the house to
the street. Although the loss of blood had
put her in a terribly weakened condition,
she held to her murderer, and followed
him hundred feet or more to he'house
or ne1ghDOr. where she fell dead upon the
porch at the front door.
The dirk with which the crime was COM
mitted was found by Policeman Waters
where it had been dropped in the front
room III a pool of blood.
When the jury assembled at the station
this morning Policeman Stewart, to whom
the dirk had been delivered, was the first
witness examined. He told of his visit to
the house the night the murder was COM
mitted and of the investigation that fol-
lowed.
Witness said several arrests were made
during the few days following the murder
and gave the names of those who We're ar
rested. The record of each man arrested
the witness stated. was fully investigated
but the crime was not fastened upon any
of them.
Sergt. Anderson, in charge of the Ana
costa police, was also sworn. He was I'M
able to give any additional information
concerning the murder.
Deputy Coroner Glazebrook told of the
autopsy he performed and described the
wounds the woman received. Her death

Pig Food In Simmer,

II SuQ1AloIs
In summer, when pigs can have the
Y Of a pasture. and a little corn and
wheat bran or middlings are given
them, there is no occasion for cooking
the food. Perhaps seldom in growing
pigs will it pay to cook their food II 1t
IS masticable and digestible. But It is
o advisable to feed raw potatoes to
the pigs, as the potatoes would be
much more valuable when cooked.
Potatoes. however, are seldom fed dur
ing the summer season. They come in
later, when fattening begins. Then, II
the pigs are confined. as they should
be, cooked foods should be preferred
to all kinds raw. The aim should be to
avoid all the exercise possible for the
pigs, as it causes a waste Of energy,
and you are not developing muscle. but
laying on fat, which demands quiet,
ease and easily digested food. hence
under favorable conditions, such as
every farmer should have, most foods
for fattening pigs should be cooked.

~Fashionable Furs.

Fashion has much to do with the
position in public favor held by differ
emit furs in different years. But there
are at least a few which must always
hold their own on their merits, and,
like diamonds, pearls and gold are
never out of fashion. These are those

silver fox; and next after these are a
list Of at least twelve with power to
add to their number" which, though
subject to the fluctuations Of fashion,
are among the most beautiful Of nat
ural ornaments, and additions alike to
comfort and to costume. Among those

many of which are expensive enough
to make them luxuries. the marten or
Canadian sable, chinchilla, mink, fish
er, skunk, Arctic fox, monkey, nutria,
and the red Canadian or Manchurian
fox and cross fox are all deserving Of
a very high place.
