Two Omcers Find After Years of
Association that They Are
Cousins.

After many years together on the Omaha
police force Emergency Officer Mike"
Mccarthy and Turnkey Thomas Ring have
just discovered they are cousins.
The secret was unearthed during a con-
versation in which they mentioned the

veloped that McCarthy's mothers great
grandmother was a Ring living at Linn
erick City. and that even closer rela-
tonship between the two guardians Of
Omahas peace was established by a mar
riage in this country between different
branches of the families. But of all this

ever aspire to be counted among the
really great hostesses.
Why she is not a greater success So
cially here many people are at a loss to
know. Personally, 1 attribute it to her
manner, which is not American, being
to the English mind cold and formal.
Whether these characteristics are nat
ural or merely put on for British ac-
quaintances it is difficult to tell, but in
either circumstance the mistake is
manifest.
Since the days when Gladys Deacon
took London by storm with her beauty,
no girl has made so great a sensation
as new American belle, Edith Clarke,
who has just appeared on the social
horizon. She is in the right set, for
Mrs. Glasgow has taken her under her
wing. The other night at a big dining
party given by this well known hostess
the latest American beauty carried all
before her. 1 am told for positive
fact that while the guests were wait
ing to go in to dinner half dozen men
slipped up to the hostess, each asking
in turn to have the privilege of taking
Miss Clarke "in." Most of them had
seen the girl for the first time and had
not yet spoken to her. The Hon. John
Morley, who was among Mrs. Glas-
COWS friends, said she was the pref
tiest American he had ever seen. She
has already more suitors than she
knows what to do with, and there
seems no doubt she can marry into the
peerage if her ambition lies that way.

FATHER KILLS SON AND

Special Cable to The Herald.

Special Gable to The Herald.
ROME, May 4.-Near the little village
of Romenfino is situated the farm of
the Ribbinis. Carlo of that name was
a young and lusty farmer, prosperous
and good looking. With him lived his
aged father, Luigi. A few days ago
the young farmer married a pretty girl
of the district. The bridal fete lasted
three days. Old Luigi took part in all
the merry making, the dancing and
drinking. He suddenly conceived a
violent passion for the pretty bride.
He made advances to her, which were
repulsed.
But the old mans infatuation grew.
He became more insistent. When
spiritedly rebuffed by the youthful
wife, he seized long butcher knife
and stabbed her. Her husband rushed
to her aid from the fields in response
to her screams. AS he entered the
room his father attacked him, also
stabbing him.
When neighbors arrived they found
the bride and groom clasped in each
others arms, lying on the floor dead.
The murderer fled to the outbuild-
ings.

PALATES NEW MEANS
OF IDENTIFICATION
Special Gable to The Herald.

Special Gable to The Herald.
VIENNA, May 4.-Dr. Paul Prayer,
an army surgeon who has made a
special study of methods of identifica-
tion, recommends that prisoners should
be identified by the shape of their
palates. He thinks the system far
more efficacious than finger prints.
DR.. Prayer insists that the method
would be more reliable than any of
the methods at present used, for among
the thousands of molds he has taken
of the interior of the human mouth he
has failed to find two which even
slightly resembled each other.
He says that though the teeth alter
greatly with time the markings of the
palate remain unchanged throughout
life. The individuality of the palate is
greater and more permanent than that
of any other part OF the body, and a
detective force which possessed a
large collection of mouth molds would
have a guide infinitely safer than a
gallery of finger prints.
