A soldier of the body guard of
dragons, Stockholm, was thrown
from his horse against the gate of the
barracks. But one of his feet was
caught in the stirrups, and he was
dragged. along the ground until the
horse was stopped. The unfortunate
man had one arm and one leg broken,
and his hand was badly cut. He was
alive when picked up, but he died on
the way to the hospital.
The whole world was shocked by
revelations made at Marseilles,
France. A man and woman of a
somewhat shady reputation were
stopped by the authorities, and in
their trunk and in a valise were found
the dismembered body of a woman.
A cable from Stockholm says that the
murdered woman was Mrs. Emma
Levin, of that city. Her husband, who
was a prominent merchant, died in
1905. During Mr.. Levin's lifetime his
wife entertained lavishly. She must
have been killed at Monte Carlo.
The mysterious deaths which oc.
CURED few months ago on board the
Swedish steamer Olof Wink, bound
from Sweden to Belgium, caused a
furry of international excitement, one
of the victims being Tscherniak, a
fugitive from the authorities of Russia.
At first the deaths were supposed to
have been caused by fumes from a
quantity of Swedish lucifer matches
which constituted a part of the cargo
| But now the authorities of Belgium,
after very careful investigation, have
declared that the deaths were caused
by fumes from a certain kind of iron
carried in the hold Of the ship.

CAMPAIGN ON TO RAISE
PAY OF OUR SOLDIERS

w AsH1NGTON.-Apply at the re-
W cruiting Office early and avoid the
rush.
A move is on foot to increase the
pay of United States soldiers and sail
ors, which was fixed more than so
years ago, and it was expected that
when the increase is granted there
will be a rush of recruits.
1t has been generally assumed that
Uncle Sans soldiers were by far the
best paid in the world, and that belief
has in large part been the cause of
the failure of attempts made in the
past to secure increases in pay.
But now, in connection with the sys-
tematic preparations that are being
made to lay the subject of something
wrong in the army" before congress at
the next session it has been discover
ed that this belief is founded in error
and that several nations are much
more liberal in the treatment of their
soldiers than Is the United States.
The fact will be brought to the at
tention of congress in connection
with the subject of general in
crease in the salaries of both army
and navy.

frocks for warm weather wear. In

batiste and Swiss and the other cot

be we'll covered with flesh If not

proportionately large, and of big, fat

most unpleasant one. Comfortable as
the elbow sleeve is, the possessors of
ugly arms should have too much self
respect to expose them to the scornful
gaze of the public. Long sleeves with
transparent lace cuffs from the elbows
down or finely tucked bands with in
sertions are cool and fashionable, and

When it comes to the evening dress,
