 TO PAINT AND POWDER
To Be Ugly Is a Sin Against
 God, He Declares.

St. Louis. Dec. 17.-Young women of the First Methodist Episcopal church may now use the powder pun, likewise the paint brush and the brow pencil without any compunctions of con science Their pastor. the Rev. Philip Cone Fletcher. says it is all right.
 Lecturing on Love, Courtship and Marriage" he told them that beauty was a duty and that if they had not been born that way it was incumbent upon them to powder and paint and pencil themselves beautiful.
 If I were a young woman l would try to be winsome" he said.
 Beauty is a duty. Young women ought to strive 10 appear to the very best advantage. mentally. physically and morally.
 If by the use of the powder pun, the paint brush and the brow pencil you can make yourself more winsome you have my consent to use them free ly. It is all right to supplement the works of God. To be ugly in an age like this is but little short of sin against God and self.

 Killed Before His Eyes Wife of
 Murdered Publisher to Testify To-
 day.
 Flushing, N. Y., Dec 1.-The smile that has wreathed the brow of Thorn ton Jenkins Hains faded away today as witnesses for the prosecution piled up testimony tending to show that he aided Captain Peter c. Hains in killing William F. Annis at the Bayside Yacht club and furthermore that Thornton Hains was really the leader in the plot to kill Annis
 District Attorney Darrin announced this forenoon that he intended to call Mrs. Annis as witness before the close of the day.

 Mir Andrews said that Thornton Hains had full knowledge of his brothers intention to kill Annis and virtually led the way to the yacht club and directed the search for the publisher. He declared that Thornton Hains pointed his revolver at Mrs. Annis and prevented her from going to the aid of her wounded husband.
 MT Mcintyre, counsel for the de- fense, then asked the witness if he had any knowledge of the relations uf Annis and Claudia Libby Hains wife of the captain. The district attorney shouted an objection, which was sus- tained by Justice Crare
 What position was Captain Hains in at the time of the shoOting?"
 He was standing at the edge of the float with his left hand on the boom of Annis' boat and firing under the sail"
 Andrews said he and Roberts took Annis from the water. He said he did Thornton Hains point revolver at Roberts The witness did not see Mrs. Annis on the float when the shooting took place.
