BERLIN, Oct. 2S.--Alma and Martha
Haars, daughters of a merchant at
Brunswick, bright, pretty girls, aged
20 and %, had as a music teacher
talented youth, Karl Brunke, aged IS;
an attachment sprang up between him
and the younger woman, but owing to
their slender prospects marriage was
impossible. so they decided to kill them
selves. A few days after this the elder
sister received letter from her be-
throthed saying he could not marry her,
so she determined to die, too.
At 8 o'clock on Tuesday evening the
sisters removed their corsets in order
that the bullets might not be obstructed,
put on new silk bodices, wrote farewell
letters to their parents, and went with
Brunke to his home. He had sent his
mother to a theater.
The three young people drank two
bottles of champagne. The sisters then
leaned back in two easy chairs, side by
side. Brunke fired twice through his
sweetheart's heart. The elder sister,
Alma, got up and waited, watching till
Martha was dead. Thereupon she re-
sumed her place in the easy chair, and
Brunke fired twice through her heart,
causing instant death.
At sight of the two corpses Brunke's
courage failed him, and instead Of
shooting himself he went out, walked
the streets all night, and gave himself
UP to the police in the morning.

$15o,ooo,ooo
Special Cable to The Herald.

ST. PETERSBURG, Oct. 2S.--The
first project laid before the czar after
the close of the war was a gigantic
scheme for building tunnel through
the Caucasus, under the present mill
tary Georgian road running from Vladi-

of the peak of Kazbek, to which, ac-
cording to legend, Prometheus was
chained. Within sight of Tiflis, the line
crosses the River Rion, the Argonauts
sailed in quest of the Golden Fleece.
Prince Khilkoff. Russian minister of
ways and communications, is warmly
advocating the project, which is regard
ed as certain, the assent of the crown
already having been given. The tun-
mel will cost $15O,OO0,O00 The strategic
advantages of the line are enormous,
for by it, it will be possible to move
troops from st. Petersburg to the Per-
sian frontier in seven days.

Co. Kerry. Two years ago Hagerty
came to Ireland. His relatives soon
discovered that he was filed with the

Eighteen months ago he informed his

NEAR LONDON, YET PAGANS
The Vicar of Hook Abandons His
Flock in Despair and Goes
Abroad
Special Cable to The Herald.

LONDON, Oct. 2S.-The Rev. w. M.
Dingwall, vicar Of Hook, near Kingston
on Thames, has thrown up the care of
his parish and fed in despair to seek
rest in the West Indies, because his
people are such pagans. The village, in
fact, is known as Pagan Hook because
the people will not go to church.
Before sailing this week the broken
hearted vicar said:
Il have worked hard for nearly three
years, and it seems in vain. I have
spoken to them personally and 1 have
implored them from the pulpit, but they
will not come to church; no effort,
either spiritual or material; no concert,
whether of high class or extremely
popular and no brancn of church ac-
tivity that I have been able to devise
or carry on will induce the people of
Hook to come to church.
There is a population of about 1900,
but few attend church and these are
not Hook people. In fact it is a village
that is spiritually asleep. The people
do not go to nom -conformist places of
worship, nor do they go golfiing or
automobling. They have simply spirit
ual things"

JAPANESE TINT,
SAYS FASHION
REAL NUT BROWN LATEST IN
COMPILATIONS
It Is Acquired by Automobiing in the
Open Air, Applying Cold Cream
and Rubbing in Olive
Powder
Special cabls 10 The Herald.


LONDON, Oct. 2S-The favorite tone

order to obtain the best foundation for
this" said a beauty specialist today,
II advise my clients to automobile as
much as possible in the air to tone the
skin to the color of a ripe olive, and
then l would tone it down with good
cold cream. Next a little olive powder
is rubbed in. l sometimes change the
color of the skin by artifice.
"A client may come to me with a
sallow complexion. l make her face
look brighter by deepening the color
of her hair, Diet is an important part
of my system, and whatever is the
fashionable complexion of the moment
[ have a little menu that helps ma
terially in effeCting naturally the foun-
dation of the popular shade or tint.
Changing the color of the skin is
by no means difficult. There are
bleaches that will make one almost
snow white, powders and cosmetics that
darken to a desired shade, but
healthy looking nut brown is the latest
complexion made"
1t is to be a white winter. as ordained
by fashion, with white clothes and
brown compilations. Fur hats, coats,
and even walking dresses are to be
OF snowy white or Il delicate shade OF
cream, but the new white crusader coat
for women is the real sartorial surprise
of the season.
1t is made of fleecy white cloth that's
quite as warm and quarter of the
weight of the fur. The crusader coat
is really a glorif1ed guards coat, which
falls in long, graceful lines from the
shoulder and is secured by a short
strap at the back.
This strap, which passes through a
buckle of dull -colored metal, fits
closely to the waist and is often of con-
trasting color, pale blue. For prefer
ence the wide collar and revers are also
faced with cloths in a new shade of
turquoise blue and embroidered with
silver.
Another of the new white winter
coats is cut on the empire plan, fitting
closely to the shoulders and falling in
long, flowing folds like many of the
new coats. 1t is trimmed with fur and
velvet.

BIG PRICES; SMALL DOGS
The Market for Pet CANNES in Paris
Was Never More Brisk
Than Now
Special Cable to The Herald.


PARIS, Oct. 2S-Fall trade is unusus
ally brisk in the Paris pet dog market,
M. Aaron, who is at the head of the
dogs palace in the Rue Castiglione,
says he has never had better sea-
son. One morning this month he sold
13, ,00Of. ($2, 5000 worth of bulls, Papillons,
toy spaniels and Poms, almost all the
purchasers being Americans.
When asked what dog is now most
fashionable he remarked: with cold
weather coming and women wearing
furs and darker dresses than in spring
and summer animals with white coats
or an abundance of white are most in
demand. That is why Japs, Blenheims
and tiny Maltese terriers are being
bought up.
apart from these, small Poms, toy
spaniels and black and tans are most
salable. French bulls have fallen in
price considerably, even for first-class
specimens. Americans, who are the
principal buyers, won't give fancy
prices, 5OOOf to 4O,00Of. ($1,O0O to $4,000
as they did two years ago."

Special Cable to The Herald
LONDON, Oct. 2S.-The Church Mis-
sonary society is sending six pio-
neers to open up region new to mis-
sionary enterprise in the Soudan.
Lord Cromer has selected the sphere
of work, which is about four times
the size OF England. The country is
inha bited by pagan tribes, the majority
of whom are men of immense stature,
and some of whom are cannibals.

and Messrs. ]. Comely and r. G. j. S.
Wilmot, will leave Marseilles on the
18th inst, and hope 20 reach the scene
of their Iabors by Chistmas.
They will take provisions for twelve
months, and expect to live for a con-
siderable period in boats and tents.
After leaving Khartoum, they. will
travel by sailing boats for about llOO
miles up the White Nile.
Escorted by Archdeacon Gwynne Of
Khartoum, they will first go through
the new district to its most southerly
point at Mongolia, a government sta
tion near the borders of the Egyptian
Soudan and Uganda.
Probably the headquarters of the
mission will be fixed near this point,
the only other habitable place being
Bor, situated on the line some distance
to the north of Lado.
In addition to the clergy who go with
the pioneers, the party includes doc
tor from Poplar Infirmary, carpen-
ter from one of the county council
technical schools, and an agricultural
expert.
1t is intended at first to begin in
dustrial work among the pagans and in
time to teach them to manufacture

DINNER BY ELECTRICITY
Sixty=Five Sit Down to Repast, the
Cooking of Which Cost Five
ShIIIinns
snecIal Cable to Tho Herald.

LONDON, Oct. 2S.-Sixty-five per-
sons, electrical experts and others, sat
down at the Olympia Electrical eX
hibition last night to a dinner electri
cally cooked Cat a cost of As SD in the
room in which it was served.
Mr.. Cunliffe owen of the Metropol
itan Electric Supply company, said that
hitherto electric warming and cooking
had been regarded as an expensive
fad, but the present exhibition would
dispel that delusion. The fact that the
dinner was cooked in that very room
was a proof that the objections to gas
cookery did not apply to electricity.
Some of the London companies had
reduced the price of current used for
these purposes to so low figure as
to bring electricity into serious compe-
tition with coal, oil and gas
The exhibition had been in every way
81 success. 1t had given flip to bust
ness, and there were abundant signs
of better times for the electrical trade.

HOOKS A TORPEDO BOAT
Special Cable to The Herald.


LONDON, Oct. 2S-A five-ton boat
recently put out from Brixham in
Devonshire and the captain lowered
his trawl net of eight feet beam. Soon,
with the wind behind him, he was
making a steady course when suddenly
the boat stopped and began to move
astern at a good pace.
Thinking he had caught a whale,
which might possibly drag the boat
under water he rushed aft and cut
the traw rope. At once the boat
stopped and the captain put about to
see what would happen.
In a few moments the dark, shiny
back of a sea monster appeared above
the surface A submarine which was
maneuvering had become entangled in
his trawl. The crew of the submarine
gravely returned the captain his trawl,
and with mutual apologies and much
laughter the incident was closed.

his return to Los Angeles by achieving
an out and out triumph. No more

ever favorite with the audience. In
"Friends" Oberle seemed to instructive

Because Defendant in Battery Case

"My name is Louis Meyers, the same
as that of the defendant in this case,
and for that reason 1 fear that I will
be unable to give an unbiased verdict
regarding him." said a juror, summoned
to act in the trial of Louis Meyers. an
old Indian fighter, charged with battery.
Justice Young considered the condi-
ton for moment and then discharged
the Juror and the case was heard by ten
men.
Meyers was arrested several days ago
by Deputy Constable Thomas on war
rant sworn out by Mrs. Iva Tilton, a
dairywoman of South Park avenue. The
woman alleged Thomas struck her with
a buggy whip in an alteration over
what wage he was to receive for his
months work.
At the trial yesterday Meyers stoutly
denied having struck the woman and
asserted he had picked up the whip
only when the woman drew revolver
and fired at him.
