THREE CHINAMEN
CONVICTED OF MURDER

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 1.-THE three
Cinnamon on trial for the murder of
Dong Su were convicted Of first degree
murder. This Is probably the first time
in this city that Cinnamon have been
convicted Of such a crime. as it Is very
difficult to get a verdict owing 10 the
many obstacles in the way Of securing
the necessary evidence. Attorney David
J. Smyth. who defended the men, at
once asked for the usual time in which
to file his motion for a new trial. Until
that has been disposed of, sentence Of
death will not be pronounced
The prisoners are Yung Cow. Jung
Jow, and Mock Kung. AS they stood up
and heard the foreman announce the
verdict which is to send them to the
gallOws, not one gave the slightest evil
dence of disappointment and not a line
in their bland Countenaces changed as
the interpreter repeated TO them the de-
cision of the jury.
Dong Su WAS fatally shot on the night
of July 4. 1906, during the celebration
In Chinatown. 1t was the direct result
OF the warfare among the tongs, and at
the trial witnesses testified that during
play the three men had deliberately
fired into a Race street house fatally
wounding Dong Su.

witness against the men. was himself

DICTATES OF FASHION.

Silk fringes adorn the ends of scarfs or stoles of lace and the same are used for the ornamentation of SunShades.
 The black iris, a strange and weird flower brought into fashion by Jean Torrain and adopted since by most women who aim at originality, is just now enjoying considerable success.
 Net, closely dotted, is tied into big, Haunting bows, to be worn under the chin. Some of the bows are shown in white with colored dots and others are in palest pinks, lavenders and blues.
 There are short sashes shown on many dresses, especially those slight ly short-waisted in the back. Other belts are made of inch and half gold or silver ribbon, weighted with tas- sels.
 A new waist is called the Boule, and is very becoming. It is usually of embroidered linen and valenciennes and shows no visible seam, as the waist and sleeves are put together in one piece.
 Many of the sleeves show bewitch- ing puffs above the elbows, with a cuff binding it just below. This in turn is supplemented by odd little lace cuffs, which reach quite half way down the forearm.

"GONE TO THE DEVIL"
London Inn Responsible for Origin of
 Common Saying.

The old inns of England have been responsible for the origin of many common sayings. An instance of this is the proverbial phrase He has gone to the devil" On Fleet street, London, near Temple Bar, was once a tavern which was known by the strict. ly old-fashioned name, 'The Devil and Saint Dunstan." It was famous for it's good dinners and excellent wines, and received a large patronage from the lawyers of Temple Bar.
 It was familiarly known as "The Devil" and when a lawyer left his office to go there he usually left no- tice on his door, Gone to the Devil" There were some who patronized the tavern to the neglect of their business, and the notice was so regularly exhib- ited on their doors that it finally came to be used to characterize the man who was losing his grip and going to destruction.-The Sunday Magazine.
