He lay ten minutes gasping; then Doctor
Cash ran across the street. and, calling
some other men. had Marcum carried into
his once. where he died five minutes later.
The first bullet Of the assassin had entered
his back on the left side just below the
shoulder blade, and had come near tina
heart.
The second shot was fired at such close
range that the forehead and hair were pow
dsr-burned.
Tho frst wound was almost entirely
through the body. the bullet lodging Just
beneath the skin in front. The second was
through the head, the bullet falling out On
the door. Either wound was fatal. but had
not the second shot been fired by the as

crack OF the enemy's revolver. he had
turned himself and was trying TO reach

Bunnell for his courtesies to the theater parties at the Hyperion; also to the press of New Haven. The ladies desired particularly that this after note of their convention be published, as was announced by Miss Marion Bra zier yesterday afternoon. Miss Brazier also desired it stated for the convention that there is nothing on our records to show that Mrs. Ball was reinstated al- though after her apology she was finally given the courtesy Of the floor.

sLERMANs EMPLOYMENT AGEN-
 Cy

Moved to New Quarters October l.
 Noted for the great success of his employment agency, the management of the Nathaniel Sleeman Agency deems 1t a duty to the public, whose patron age has made such record possible, to inform them that after seventeen years location at 775 Chapel street. they have decided to remove to 763 Chapel street, which is the hallway below.
 The agency and it's present location being indissolubly connected in the minds of patrons and benefciaries for so many years, the change may be confusing for time, but by impress ing the fact on their minds by public and definite announcement, it is hoped that no fruitless searches for the agen- cy will now ensue s
 MT. Sleeman. who has of late been most ably assisted by Mrs. Sleeman, has filled on an average of from 5000 to 5000 places in year. He manages all classes of domestic help and having the good of the public at heart, usually succeeds In placing the right people in the right place. s.z
 He sends help all over the country, on one recent occasion sending ser- want to Texas. His field is the largest of any agency in the state 5e : In many cases he provides lodging and food for people seeking employ ment, the Organized Charities, Sa1va- ton Army and Calvary Industrial Home being of considerable assistance in solving what might become a vexed problem. "
 Proprietors of hotels, restaurants dining halls and people desiring help in private homes, have learned to rely implicitly on MT. Sleemans Judgment and tact and come to him in all sorts of domestic difficulties. l .= s
 After October 1, when he has moved to better, newer quarters, he hopes for the same liberal patronage, when in- creased facilities will make even more effective his desire and effort to serve the public well. 5,s~Sy.4
