B. A. Bishop:
 "And, honorable judges,n he said, tiff you do not hear and heed these app peals and that prisoner should be taken out and lynched, then let me say to you with full realization of the responsibility of my words, even as Nathan said to King David of old after his soldiers had killed Uriah, "Thou art the man. so I would say to you.

 "Should the murderer of Miss Bishop be lynched? Yes. But only under one condition, and that is this: If his trial should be delayed until September and then, though he be proven guilty, through some techEi cality of the law or undue influence upon either judges or jury he be not given capital punishment, then the citizens of the state should arise in their might and execute the criminal, and thus uphold the majesty of the | laWn

Paper S1ippcra for Guesta.

A queer Improvement is being in
troduccd in hotels in Europe. 1t is to
furnish every guest on his arrival with
slippers made of paper. The Soles are
of past tcbOard and the rest is made
of white or brown paper, stitched with
heavy cotton preventing tearing, There
are various qualities. The most ex-
pcnSive is made Of an extra coed quail
ity Of white paper. The cheapest is
made Of common brown straw paper.
These paper slippers are SO cheap
that new ones can be furnished to
every guest. An attempt is being made
also to introduce them in hospitals and
public institutions, as they would add
much to cleanliness and form another
preventive Of c0ntagion, since each pain
could be thrown away or destroyed
as soon as the wearer has done with
them.

Lamp Shades Chic and Dainty.

Chenille is everywhere this season.
Even lamp shades are now garnishca
with il, or even made of it. Some dain-
~ candclabra shades are of pinked and
plcatcd white china silk as foundation,
with chenille ends Of pink falling over
il SO closely as to wholly cover the silk.
Each length Of chenille is finished with
tiny silver or gold bead or button
to give il sufficient weight to keep 1T
in place. Those beads reach just below
the pinkcd edge Of the white silk, and
tho top ends of the chenille are caught
about tho neck Of the shade with rope
Of twisted strands lnottcd on the outer
or "Show' side. The effect of the whole
is chic and dainty, and gives an cSpec-
tally soft quality TO the light diifuscd

Ornate Bed TickinCa.

Each season sees the addition OF new
and more elaborate designs in bed tick
ings. 1t is said that the vogue for
this material in such ornate patterns
was originally occasioned by the pub
licity OF bed chamber paraphernalla,
which the arrangement OF the modern
apartment renders almost unavoidable.
Beds and pillows cannot always be
quilted and slammed, and the simplest
thing was therefore to render them
