FINGER-PRINT IN DREW CASE
Indistinct Trace on Glasses to Be
Photographed.

Troy, n. Y, July 27.--No arrests
are likely to be made in the Teal pond
murder case at Troy n. y, before the
inquest, which will begin tomorrow, al.
though the authorities have been at
work since the 18th, when Hazel Drew's
body was found. District Attorney
O'Brien said yesterday that nothing
badb cen learned that would warrant
making an arrest. Several persons are
under surveillance. The latest theory
in the strange case is that Miss Drew
may have gone to Teal pond to meet
man of whom it is said she was fond
4 man, who is said to have have made
contradictory statements as TO his
knowledge of the case, is under sus-
picion.
Detective Kerrs will have micros-
copic examination made of the glasses
worn by the murdered girl, which were
picked up OH the bank of the pond
lear where the girls hat and gloves
were found. There was a rather in.
distinct Grace of finger print on one
on the lenses, and this will be photo
graphed and magnified.

Lines on Handing Milady Lemon.

Being the substance OF society
adys advice to readers OF the Daily
Mirror.
Ladies, would you lovely be?
Hear, oh, hear my recipe;
Shine respondent with its aid
Beauty is not born, but made.
Would you have a skin of silk
Winter than the morning milkl
Cucumber and lemon too
These must yield their juice for you.
When upon your couch you lie,
Place slice on either eye;
Place ON cheek and brow and chin
Slices exquisitely thin,
Through the nighttime, close at hand.
Let your watchful handmade stand,
Ever prompt to change the pieces
As their healing GOODNESS ceases.
Nor should bathing be forgot:
But, instead of cold" and hot"
On your taps the words be placed,
Lemon, Cucumber" and Waste"
All this thought and all this care
Means incessant mental wear,
Endless planning, few delights,
Strenuous days and strenuous nights.
So. in order that the brain
May not yield beneath the strain,
Once in every week a day
Must in resting pass away.
Rest your limbs and eyes a while,
Rest, oh, rest the wrinkling smile;
Browns and crowsfeet come from
thought;
Rest your mind and think OF naught
Hard the life. severe your part;
Yet let this make glad your heart
If or Others thus We slave
Wept and honored is our grave.

How a Jealous Actress SCOT Even" with
an Associate.

Elmer b. Harris, the playwright, tells
an interesting story OF a chorus girl in
the August American Magazine. 1t is
a complete picture OF life on the stage.
Following is one OF the yarns told;
Il suppose there are lots of little
jeaiousies in the chorus?" ! continued,
like a reporter.
"Jealousies-oh, la, lal | remember
a ballet dancer who had it in for me
because | didn't wear symmetricals and
she had to, though she never admitted
it. Symmetrioalsn she'd say, and put
her nose up this way-see this way.

And, my very, only dear, wish you
tree stockings; you couldn't tells which
were oranges and which knees. Well,
anyway, she had beautiful figure from
the front, and there was a fellow in
love with her. Oh, he was the sickest
thing My world Trembled so he
couldn't light cigarette and got all
sobbed up whenever she spoke to him.
A prize tighter, | think. One night she
and me were coming out OF the theatre
together and he met us, and she, as
usual, gave him her bundle to larry.
Just as we got into the light at the
corner it dropped and smashed open on
the cement. And there, right in plain
sight, like somebody who had fallen
thirty-tve stories and had all her bones
broken, were the symmetricals!
Good gracious, kiddo, he says,

A Scientists Romance.

Lady Kelvin, widow Of the celebrat-
ed scientist who died recently. is her
self a person Of no mean ability. A
pretty story is told of Lord and Lady
Kelvin's courtship. When she first
made his acquaintance he was plain
William Thompson, and she was Miss
Frances Blandy. daughter Of a gentle
man living in the island Of Madeira.
Professor Thompson made her ac-
quaintance while cruising about on his
yacht He was then a widower Of
mature age and not certain that the
sprightly young lady whom he so
much admired would accept him as a
husband. One day she was visiting
his yacht with party of friends. Pro-
fessor Thompson had occasion to ex-
plain an improved method of signal
ing at sea. Miss Blandy seemed to
understand the subject. Professor
Thompson inquired if she thought she
could receive and reply to a signal.
She thought she could. As soon as
she had been transferred to another
vessel he signaled "Will you marry
me?" Promptly and pleasingly came
the reply. 'Yesw So they were mar
ried and lived happily. Professor
Thompson in 1892 was made a peer
under the name Of Kelvin. Lady KEEL

manuscripts Lord Kelvin may have

Tho ArIst0ersey Of Work.

The latest fad among fashionable
women is to follow some art or pro-
fession seriously. In the New York
and Chicagos smart set girls who
have any special talent are nowadays
only too happy when the general pub
lie appreciates their ability well enough
to pay for it. OF course in many cases
they do not need the money, but COM
petition and payment are the real test
Of efficiency. Mrs. Harry Payne Whit
ney, who was Miss Gertrude Wander
bilt, is an artist, and recently she was
made happy by receiving the commits
sion to decorate some apartments in a
new public building. Mrs. Herbert
Parsons, who was Miss Elsie Clews. is
a lecturer and writer on sociology, Mrs.
John c. Westervelt an interior dec
orator and Mrs. Clarence Mackay a
successful novelist Her cousins, the
Misses Duer. are also writer's. SOciol-
ogy claims the attention Of scores of
women Of wealth. Most of those who
throng the college settlements are
young women of wealth and leisure
anxious for a career.

met the denial of President Roosevelt
that the administration was engaged in
coercion in connection with the Taft

The Rise Of a New Idea.

One failing, however, took root, grew
up and babe fair to obscure the de-
lightful disposition OF this popular
lady. She became absorbed in the diet
question. Now, interesting or useful
as the diet question may be when ap-
piled personally. It becomes monoto-
nous when exploited among ones
friends, and Mrs. Brown was one Of
those kindly souls who think that
when they have taken firm hold of a
good thing they ought to share it, with
the world. Consequently she began to
take note Of the compilations and stat
ure Of her acquaintance and to preach
accordingly. If one had a pasty skin,
Mrs. Brown perceived that she was
I'll nourished and proceeded to lay
down her own particular doctrine Of
eating. Another friend would be too
florid, did not take proper food and
was a suitable subject for a lecture.
One by one the enthusiast went over
the list of her friends, limiting where
she could not speak plainly, until her
doctrine of plain living and high think
ing had been scattered abroad in the
land. Even the bishop did not escape
her, and the good gentleman, who was
fond of juicy roasts, well seasoned
sauces and rich buildings, was some
what indignant that a mere laymar
should presume to suggest a more as
celtic bill of fare as suitable to his
cloth.

Big COAL TRUST

BREAK UP OF TRUSTS
MEANS LOWER PRICES
px rHE JouRNALs speelal vic.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Feb. IL
Trouble is rumored among the inter
ests included in the hitherto supposed
ly alright Anthracite coal trust The
report is that certain of the corpora
tions bound by the alleged trust
agreement have been caught shading
prices, that there is a possibility Of a
disruption Of the combine and that
consumers are about TO profit by the
producers disagreement.
The reported price cutting is attribu-
ted to the falling Off OF business on
the coal carrying railroads, TO the con-
seuuent desire on the management's
part to stimulate business and to the
piling up OF anthracite subject to heavy
demurraGe charges at distributing
points.
A special version of the matter is
that the Reading management has So
cured information indicating strongly
that the Lehigh Valley has shaded
prices FIVE cents to the east. Other
concerns are said TO have made cuts
to something hike the same extent
1t is believed prices generally will
show at least a slight falling off in

The Gospel Of Plain Living.

The gospel Of plain living is, how
ever, somewhat indefinite. 1t gives
more latitude Of choice than is quite
satisfactory to the professional adviser,
and so Mrs. Ellington Brown, who had
delved deeply into the subject Of what
to eat and how and when to eat 1t, be-
came a definite advocate of the harm
less cereal. The Browns eschewed a
meat diet entirely, sometimes giving
relish to their cracked wheat and oat-
meal menus by nibbling a few nuts OF
partaking sparingly of the juciest of
fruits. From cereals to fruit and from
fruit to nuts was an easy stage Of de-
velopment. During this period nuts OF
fruits were the only gifts which Mrs
Brown sent to friends on birthdays OF
/ holidays, and her discovery OF a new
recipe for cooking these edibles was
/ generously distributed among heI
acquaintance. Unhappy were the
friends. for she never gave them peace
until they tested the recipes.
