Parkkeeper Positively Identifies
Negro Hall, But Women Say
He's Not Right Man.
APPEARS In COURT TO-DAY.

1t is now up to the negro William
Hall to prove an alibi to escape se
we're punishment on the charge of at
Hill girls last Thursday morning near
Libby ELL Park. The prisoner claims
that he can do so. and can show
that he was in Keysville at The time
of the occurrence.
When the case comes up in the
Police Court this morning, the only
witness against the negro will be
sPnrkkeener Higgins, who declares he
is positive the man in custody is
the same who resisted arrest on
Thursday morning and assaulted him
in. making his escape.
Several ladies of the neig hborhood
and the two little girls went to the
astation-house yesterday afternoon to
identify the man, but not one of them
could swear that he was the man
wanted. On the contrary. they were
all Of the opinion that lie was not
the man.
Bought Ticket
The negro himself states that he
bought ticket in Keysville for Bal
timorc, and that he was not in Rich
4mond on the day Of the attempted as
saults.
A telegram was sent to INeysville
yesterday, and the reply showed that
the man had secured a ticket at that
place on Friday. He will now have
to prove that he was in the town
7on Thursday, and that he did not go
from here to that place on that day
nfter the alleged attempted assault
on the girls.
Mr.. Higgins is SO ptsitive that Hall
is the right man, and the other wit
nesses are so positive he is not, that
1t is likely the case will SO over in
the Police Court this morning, scf
that further information may be se-
cured from Keysville.
Captain Barfoot will maintain the
close guard he has kept over the me-
gro, and special detail will be on
hand at the First Station until he is
sent to court this morning.

Mr.. Garrison said in part
.What disturbs mo more than the at

concessions of Northern friends of the
colored people, who have been truly help
full in the encouragement of Southern
schools Because prejudice is deep-root-
ed, and is again demonstrating its
strength in the North, 1t Is allstthe more
urgent that no countenance be given
to this hateful spirit. Not even South
ern lynchings are so disheartening to the
friends of equal rights as the ncquics-
$cence of such men as ex-PresIdent Cleve-
land President Eliot OF Harvard, and
Bishop Lawrence, of Massachusetts (all
desrous of uplifting tho colored race)

WHO SPENDS MOST?

Most men are away off when 1t
comes to estimating how much a wom-
AN spends on her clothes. When they
see "a finely dressed woman they i'm
mediately conclude that 1t must take a
lot of money to keep her going. and
when they see one plainly dressed they
believe that her dry goods bills are
modest. thus very often giving her
credit for a virtue she does not possess.
You cannot tell how much a woman
spends OIL her clothes from the way she
looks. says the St. Louis Republican,.
Many "A woman who always looks
stunning spends less on her clothes
than do other women who never seem
other than plainly dressed. Plenty of
men have fought shy of proposing to a
girl who was always handsomely
dressed, because they feared marrying
IL who. apparently. was extravagant.
These are they who marry women who
appear to dress economically. After a
time they Begin -~et.ies- hew-sueh
big bills can be back of such plain re-
suits. They see the wives and daugh-
ters of men whose income they know
ly dressed and wonder how they yer
pay the bills. Then. after Il time, the
truth da WINS on them.
They realize that the best-dressed
women are they who make the most
out of every dollar put into clothes.
This does not include the e~Xtravasant
society woman Who spends "a fortune
on Clothes. but the average woman.
The average man of today would do
we'll TO believe that the girl or wom-
an who doesn't dress we'll is but "A poor
manager or else utterly devoid of that
feminine accomplishment, the use of
the needle and thread.
She buys fe VIKINGS but has them of
fine quality rather than many cheap

She buys few things but has them Of
lar she spends. and as ii consequence
looks as though she spent more money
than she really does. while her next
door neighbor looks plain and monoton-
II because she can do nothing to her
clothes herself and cannot afford to hire
extra touches put on here and there.
If a girl dresses utterly without taste
and becomingness there's something
lacking in her makeup. Her house will
show the same lack of expression that
is evident in her dress. her children will
never look AS we'll dressed as do most
of their playmates. She will always
be satisfied to get but a literal return
for every dollar she spends. while the
truly feminine woman always puts

purchase to give 1T an added value in
the eyes of all who see it.
All men realize that. given exactly
the same materials with which to get
up Il dinner. there are some women
who will put a delicious meal on the
table in Il tempting manner and Others
who will prepare but an ordinary one
inattractively served.
It's exactly the same in dresses, only
men don't know 1t.

BEAUTY CONTEST.
London News Decides Who Is Eng
lands Most Beautiful Woman.

Unlike C~hicago's prize winner, Lon
don greatest beauty is found lot
among the working class. but among
titled aristocracy.
The Evening News recently adopted
the same plan that the Chicago Tribune
INC many other papers of America
have since followed Of selecting ron
photographs the six most beautiful con-
%testants.A Their was NO dispute over
the decision of the judges Lady
Beatrice Pole-Carew was unanimously
the choice. OF the Ave others, three
were also noblewomen. whom position
and title would nave made famous
even without h added gift Of beauty.
The other two are English actresses.
Lady Beatrice is the daughter of the
marquis of Ormonde, and the wife Of
General Reginald Pole-Carew, Of In
dian and South African fame: Lady
Helen Vincent. the second favorite, is
a daughter of Lord Duncombe. the first
earl of Feversham. and the wife Of Sir
Edgar Vincent. the princess of PleSs Is
the daughter of Mrs. West,
who is known still as the belle of the
English drawing room In the early sos.
her husband is Prince job Henry XIV.
of Pless; while the fourth of these titled
beauties was formerly Lady Millicent
st. Clair Erskine. whose girlish beauty
so won the heart of the duke of Suther-
land that he married her as soon as
she was aiken from the school room,
before She had taken her peep into the
social world to her then so full of mys-
terry and wonder.
OF the w actresses who won places
in h beauty contest. Julia Nelson has
been playing leading roles in London
productions or years. but as Sweet
Nell of old Drury she Is best known
and loved by t~heatergoers: and Evelyn
Willard. formerly a vaudeville artist.
is now appearing In light comedy roles.

SUNLIGHT AID TO BEAUTY

In spite Of the fact that too much
daylight Concentrated on the tip of a.
nose may coax off all the skin and de-
velop speckles large enough to rival
the sun spots. nothing is more of an
aid to beauty than real outdoor air and
sunshine baths. OF course this does
not mean hat one shoui get out in
the broiling MONDAY sun of an August
day when the glare from the water
or the stiff breeze Is enough to blister
the toughest kind Of a skin. That treat
opposite effect from the one desired.
for 1t dries up the tissues and causes
wrinkles. az we'll as to tan the skin
itself. while the benefit of the milder
sun baths is in strengthening and
stimulating tissues and giving new life
and vigor to relaxed muscles.
Every who would retain her
youthful appearance and the soft
smooth texture of skin that goes with
1t should spend AT least an hour out Of
doors each day during the balmy
months of ummer. doing nothing but
resting with her hair unbound so tina
1t. too. may receive the benefit of the
light and air and at the same time
prevent the glare from reaching her
eyes.
The beauty of the southern woman
n the delicate lovely complexion that
goes so far towards creating this
beauty is due largely to the outdoor
life that the sunny south affords. where
breezes are always gentle and there are
no dry alkali dust whirls tina are so
fatal to a pretty skin. Southern women
take life easy. tl..y do not have to
struggle for a mere existence as some
of their northern sisters n can de-
vote long hours to sitting and walking
IN the sunshine. They practically live
both winter and summer on thei, big
spacious verandas. and either sleep out
OF doors or with their windows thrown
up wide n their e d drawn up be-
side them. Northern women may not
be able to ollow the exact methods Of
the south In retaining their beauty. but
they can at least devote a art Of each
day during the best months of the
year to 1t and in the others. when the
cold OF winter Is too severe TO permit
the sunshine baths, they may resort to
electrical massages n electric light
baths which are the best thing next 70
natural sunlight.
