MAN AND WOMAN
SHOT IN NEW YORK
Mysterious Tragedy Upon Which No
Light Has Been Thrown,


Light Has Been Thrown.
NEW YORK, April 1. Newton
Schoonmaker, a mechanic living in
Brooklyn, on returning home tonight.
found his wife. Leila, lying unconscious
with bullet in her breast and beside
her Percival Covert, young man liy-
ing in Euclid avenue, also unconscious
with bullet wound in his head. and a
revolver, of which two chambers had
been discharged, lying beside him. The
man and woman were taken to the
hospital, where Covert died without re-
covering consciousness. Mrs. Schoon-
maker, who is twenty eight years old,
recovered sufficiently to say that Co
vert had shot her and shot himself She
made no explanation of the cause of
the tragedy and her condition was
such that it was impossible to obtain
any further statement from her
Schoonmaker himself was unable to
throw any light on the affair.
On the dead man the police found
two letters, one addressed to Covert's
mother, Mrs. Emily Covert, of ST AL
bans, Vt, and the other to George Car
stairs. In these letters the police say
Covert admitted that he had embez-
zled several thousand dollars from the
Williamsburg Trust company, in whose
branch Office in Brooklyn he was en-
ployed, and that he had determined to
kill himself. Mrs Schoonmaker is the
mother Of two young children, who
were asleep in the room next to that in
which the shooting took place. There
is little hope Of her recovery.

Care of the Nails.

So many people wonder why their
finger nails are always in such a
dreadful condition, and yet they don't
stop to think they are constantly abus-
ing them.
The finger nails are extremely deli
cate and should receive the best of
care. If you will carefully observe the
following suggestions it will be the
nrSt and most important step toward
pretty finger nails:
Never put acid around the cuticle.
1t hardens the skin and causes it TO
get scaly, all of which is the beginning
of ugly hand-nails
Don't cut the cuticle.
If your finger nails have been neg
lected, so that the cuticle has grown
up on the nail in a ragged manner,
nave it loosened and trimmed down
by a manicure who understands her
business. Then if you will take the
pains to loosen it with an orange stick
each time after bathing the hands.
you can easily keep it in good condi-
ton. If an orange stick is not handy,
WhlIe the hands are moist, use your
finger under a soft towel to push the
cuticle back, being careful not to press
hard enough to injure the base of the
nail, which is very tender, and espe-
clally so in cases where the nails are
naturally thin.
Always use an orange stick. They
are not expensive and are the best in
struments in the world for cleaning
the nails.
If the flesh under the nail has be-
come stained from ink, fruit or in
any other way, don't try to scrape it
out: There are plenty of good bleaches
to be used for this purpose that will
not injure the flesh or nail. A great
many manicures use peroxide. Wind a
very little absorbent cotton around the
end of the stick, wet it in the peroxide,
and thoroughly moisten the flesh un-
der the nail. The stain will soon dis
appear.
Peroxide is considered a rather Wig
orous treatment by some manicures,
and they much prefer to use cutie
fish in powder form. This answers
the same purpose and is not so apt
to harden the skin.
Never allow manicure to scrape
your finger nails.
While 1T may thicken the nail. 1t
Will likewise produce ridges and q
corrugated appearance.

long ago the women of the town took
a hand in the affair and it is well
known that when they realize it is their
duty to interfere in any trouble in the
interests of humanity and good order,
some result is soon attained. The Sit
uation was becoming serious and men
had given up riding in the cars, few
of which were running with non union
labor-but not SO the women. They
ride in the cars fearlessly and defy
any one to interfere with them. The
Il ouble with women in many cases OF
that kind is. not that they do not mean
We'll, but they allow their sympathies
to run away with their sense of JUS
tice. 1t does not seem to be so much
4 question with them of who is right,
but who is getting the worst of it, and
with the latter they cooperate even if
they are hopelessly in the wrong. This
is the charge brought against women
by men, and there is often enough of
truth in it to justify the charge. And
yet women in these modern days are
beginning to cultivate more and more
their sense of justice and are trying

MACEDONIANS SLAIN
BY BASHI BAZAUKS
But the Turks Lose More Heavily Than
the Other Side in the Fiohtinc.

the inhabitants of the village of Abo-
HtchO, near IStib, have been maSsacred
by Bashi Bazouks. The band was
surrounded in the village, artillery was

that a plot to destroy the Turkish mil

dynamite, was recently discovered,
and says the railroad and telegraph
lines have been cut and that Bulgarian
officers are joining the insurgent bands
The Inhabitants are compelled by
threats to support the insurgents, sup
ply them with money and provisions
and transport arms. The consul, how

artificial and adds that the revolu-
tionary committees are doing their ut
most to incite the Mohammedans to
engage in a general humiliation of the
Christians with the object of securing
the Intervention of the great powers

cornmeaI Shampoo.

A st. Paul woman who has just re-
turned from New York brings this
latest wrinkle for shampooing blonde
hair. Fill deep basin half full of
corn meal" says the returned traveller,
and rub the meal thoroughly through
the hair. Be sure that every bit of
the scalp is vigorously rubbed with the
meal. When this is done cover the
head thickly with the cornmeal and
fasten over the whole a close fitting
cap. Leave this cap on for an hour
and then shake the hair free of the
grains and give it a brisk brushing"
1t is said that this treatment will pre-
vent blonde hair from growing darker
and will make it light and fluffy.
