Florida They kept her in the woods for
two days before killing her She was
shockingly mutilated Her three assail-
ants were tied to trees and the skin
stripped from their bodies with sharp
knives, after which pine fagots were piled
around them and fired.
Following this came another burning al

Tyler. where the murderer Of Myrtle Vance
had been burned. Mrs Leonard Bell, aged

husband was in the field picking cotton
within 200 yards OF a gorge in which the
crime was committed. She had been sur

berries. Her hsad was cut OF and her
body ripped and mutilated after the manner
of Jack the Ripper" Hillisrd, after cap

deserved death. He was burned in the
presence of 5000 people in the public
square in Tyler. Governor Culberson CEN

the prisoner to be taken from his GUS

Up to 1892 the commonest form of
lynching was by hanging. In that year
ass men were lynehed-2OO in the south

shot TO death for crimes ranging from
horse stealing TO murder.

gestion of coquetry, the fat has gone
forth in Paris that both are to be
ruthlessly abolished. Unfortunately,
the average woman is not gifted with
the Frenchwoman's adaptability in
this respect, and it takes her some
time and much heart searching ere
she can reconcile herself to an unac-
customed mode, and shake off the dis
trustful attitude which she invariably
maintains toward a new fashion. Pic

1t is essential, for the proper ex-

der To this end the staymakers have
devised combinations of woven silk
which are firmly boned, after the
manner of stay, the bones reaching
well UP to the bust and continuing
to below the hips, so that the body
is compressed into the least possible
compass. The reason for this desire
to appear of sylph-like proportions lies
in the continued vogue enjoyed by
Princess and semi Empire styles. A
short-waisted effect Is achieved on
many evening gowns, by means of lit
tie zouaves encrusted with pearl and
diamond embroideries, the tiny
sleeves being of the same lace, minus
the jewels.

shown two evening gowns, the one in
pale gray velvet, the other in soft

with pailettes and plain chiffon do
their duty as trimming.

Clothes for Out-of- Doors Wear

Fashion has decreed that velvet shall
be worn and many of the out-of-doors
costumes will be made of this mater

not be found.
In matter of coats the three-quarters
length seems to be most in vogue, and
all are collarless, although this ques-
ton, so long in allegiance. is being
raised in the fashion centers of Paris
and London After having had our
coats and cloaks collarless now for a
depth of winter, it has occurred to
some of the big furriers in Paris to
raise the question of the wisdom of
such a fashion and whether it would
not be well to revive the high Medicis
collar once more. Personally, l should
hail the return of the Medicis or storm
collar to our fur garments with Joy,
for not only did it protect the back
of the head and neck, which is one
of the most sensitive portions of the
human frame, and the one most ac-
cessible to neuralgia, but also it
framed the face in the most bewitch.

the revival has raised shrieks of op-

BLUFF DIDN'T WORK.
Tom ochiltree's Arm Hardly Long
Enough to Perform Service
He Claimed.

e. II. Gilmore, the theatrical man
ager of New York, and Tom Ochiltree
were great friends. One morning they
went down to the Battery in New York
to take yacht to go out and see an
international yacht race
A ferryman took them off to the
yacht. Just as they were alongside
something happened and the small
boat capsized. Everybody went head
long into the water. Gilmore, who
wore a heavy overcoat, came up last
He caught some netting on the side
of the yacht and chung there until
they dragged him aboard.
Gilmore was full of salt water and
had no very clear idea of what had
happened when he woke UP in bed in
one of the staterooms. Ochiltree was
sitting beside him.
Ned" said Ochiltree, II think 1
should have a pass for life to all your
theaters after what l did for you to-
day.
What did you do?" asked Gilmore,
suspiciously.
"Why, after we were thrown in the
water noticed you had on your heavy
overcoat, and, as l was in good swim
ming trim, / stood on the bottom and
pushed you up by the legs, so that
they easily got you into che yacht.
Thus / saved your life. isn't that
worth a perpetual pass?"

"The Door Unbolted" is the title Of
charming little booklet just issued
by the Company which tells, and IL

the little white barn in which the
business was started Jan. 1, 1895,
through the palatial Offices and great
factory buildings of the white City"
that comprise Postumville, Battle
Creek, Mich.
The little white barn, SO carefully
preserved, is a most interesting build
ing, for it represents the humble be-
ginning of one of the country's great
est manufacturing enterprises of to-
day, an enterprise that has grown
from this little barn to whole city
of factory buildings within but little
more than ten years.
No less interesting is the quaint Of
fetal home of the Postum Cereal Co.
The general Office building Of Mr.. Post
and his associates is a reproduction Of
the Shakespeare house at Stratford-
on-Avon, and upon the house and its
furnishings has been expended vast
sums of money, until the rooms are
more like the drawing rooms Of the
mansions of our multi-millionaires
than Ike offices.
That Mr. Post has believed thor

employees attractive and healthful
work rooms is proven not only by tie

Persistent Ansemia Cured by Or.
Williams Pink Pills After Other
Remedies Had Failed.

Pink Pills." says Mrs. Nathaniel Field,
of st. Adams, Somerset county, Maine,
81 was the palest, most bloodless person
you could imagine. My tongue and
gums were colorless and my fingers and
ears were like wax. I had two doctors
and they pronounced my trouble anamia.
Ihad spells of vomiting, could not eat,
i'll fact, did not dare to, / had such dis.
tress after eating. My stomach was filled
with gas which caused me awful agony.
The backache suffered was at times
almost unbearable and the least exertion
made my heart beat so fast that l could
hardly breathe. But the worst of all was
the splitting neuralgia headache which
never left me for seven weeks. About this
time had had several numb spells. My
limbs would be cold and without any
feeling and the most deathly sensations
would come over me.
"Nothing had helped me until began
taking DR.. Williams Pink Pills, in fact,
had grown worse every day. After
had taken the pills short time could
see that they were benefting me and
one morning | awoke entirely free from
pain. The distress after eating disap-
peared and i'll three weeks / could eat
anything l wanted and suffer no incon-
venience. I also slept soundly. I have
taken several boxes of the pills and have
gained in weight from 100 to 154 pounds
and am perfectly well now"
DIR. Williams Pink Pills cure an8nlia
because they actually make new blood.
For rheumatism, indigestion, nervous
headaches and many forms of weakness
they are recommended even if ordinary
medicines have failed. They are sold by
all druggists, or will be sent postpaid, on
receipt of price, 80 cents per box, six
boxes for $3.50, by the DIR. Williams

The modes of the present season, as
much latitude and admit of such scope
for the exercise of individual taste and
ingenuity, that it is the woman of
imagination, tempered by knowledge,
who triumphs.
Although it is practically case of
choose as you will, certain unbreak-
able rules must be observed. For ex-
ample, self-respecting sleeves exhibit a
degree of fulness at the shoulder, a
square effect being achieved, when
necessary, by means of small cres-
cent-shaped pad inserted between the
lining and the material at the top
the arm. Such cuffs as obtain on
dress bodices and blouses are tightly
fitting, and reach to the elbow; in adj
dition they boast number of diminu-
time buttons which serve the dual pur
pose of use and ornament. Skirts are
long and clinging and critical survey
of the outline of the really well dress
ed woman possessed of Legitimate
claims to elegance, causes the unini-
tiated to wonder where she bestows
her petticoats and to question whether
she has not done away with them alto
gether as superfiuous accessories.
This brings me TO a delightful I'M

Preserved tomatoes.

Pour boiling water over firm, ripe
tomatoes, then slip off the skins. To
every pound of the tomatoes allow a
pound graduated sugar. Pack the
tomatoes in layers with the sugar and
let stand over night. In the morning
drain off the strip and boil, skimming
frequently. Add the tomatoes to the
strip and simmer 20 minutes. Take
up, spread on platters and set in the
sunshine while the strip is allowed to
boil down thick. Shortly before reach
ing the consistency required, add lem,
on juice to the strip in the proportion
of half cup to every seven pounds
sugar. Pack the tomatoes carefully
in jars, taking care not to break them,
cover with the boiling strip and seal.
