If you live in Boston and "have tie
price," advice as to just what to buy
when you go shopping may be yours,
says correspondent of the New York
Press. A young woman in that town
who recently was thrown on her own
resources decided that her unfailing
eye for color harmonies and taste in
dress was a marketable commodity
and opened an office where for a small
sum she tells women what they ought
to wear. Should her enterprise prove
success, doubtless many women in
the same circumstances will take the

In connection the committee tonight issued the follow ing statement:
 'fThe local entertainment committee au- thorzes the statement in contradiction lspf a groundless rumor to the contrary, that in providing for the free entertain ment of the Student Volunteer conven- ton which meets here February 2s to March Nashville has not only far ex- eelled all former cities where the con- vention has been held, but has exceeded by thousand the three thousand homes at first requested by the New York au- thorities of the student counteer move ment. In addition to this the required sum of $10,000 was contributed by Nash vllle to defray the other general expenses of the convention. Any suggestion from whatever source that delegations were be- ing reduced in the various colleges of the country because Nashville was unable to provide entertainment. was unauthorized here, and unjust to this city, which has more than met the conditions of proverbial southern hospitality"

AN UNUSUAL VERDICT :.
 IN A MURDER CASE
Fine and Short Term of Imprisonment Visited By Criminal Court Jury
 Upon Pat Hannegan.

A jail sentence of one hour and fine of $500 was the punishment visited by a jury in the criminal court yesterday upon Pat Hannegan, who was tried on charge of murder in the second degree.
 Hannegan was charged with the killing of Joe Campbell some months ago, and it was shown during the trial by num- Der of witnesses that it was not premedi- tated nor vicious. The jury retired to deliberate about o'clock, and returned it's verdict later in the night.
 Hannegan served the sentence in the county jail, and was released upon fur nishing security that the fine would be paid within short time. It Is somewhat unusual for such a verdict to be returned in a murder case, and the matter was the subject of much discussion and conversa- ton among the court house officials.

President Grows suspicIous.

Chicago, February 26.A dispatch to the Tribune from Washington. D. C., says:
 President Roosevelt has grown sus- picious of the good faith of the Chinese government as the result of a policy which it seems to be pursuing He has , been given assurances through Minister Rockhill which are not in keeping with the acts of the Pekin authorities
 Apparently there has been adopted at the Chinese capital tactics such as were observed in 1900, prior to the boxer out break. The diplomatic corps was told then most positively that the reports of a general uprising were without foundation and that the government had taken am pie measures to suppress local disturb ances and to prevent injury to life and property. The result of this representa- ton was the failure of foreign powers to take action for the protection of their subjects and interests until it was too late

Resembles Boxer Trouble.

The administration sees in the present situation a parallel with that which ex- isted prior to the boxer outrage with this single and important difference-that the present unrest is not confined to two provinces in the north. but prevails all over the empire.
 The state department is advising mis- sion boards to bring in all missionaries stationed in outlying districts inaccessi- ble to warships or troops and place them at points where they can be protected. Rear Admiral Train, commander-in-c chief of the Asiatic fleet, is giving similar ad- vice to the missionaries themselves
 United States Consuls also are warning missionaries and other Americans that the situation Is of such a character as to warrant them in taking precautions to fly to points of safety the moment the disorders break out.
 Neither the navy nor the war depart ment is abating in its efforts to be ready to act the moment the President gives the word.
