SLAIN WoMAN's FASHIONABLE
APARTMENTS THRoNeED
Undertakers Refuse to Ship Body Till

Filled to a great extent with a NOR
bid desire, or common curiosity, to visit
the scene of a society tragedy, or in
few instances, perhaps, to get posses
sion of some of the personal bric-a-
trac of a woman who had mysteriously
come to her death in a nocturnal shoot
ing affair believed to have resulted
from race track losses, throng OF
well dressed women yesterday morning
filed the former apartments of Mrs.
Charlotte Moves, GIL Little street, to be
present at the auction of the dead wo-
mans household effects.
C. M. Stevens was auctioneer, who
sold many articles of furniture and
clothing to the highest bidder.
None of the articles brought a high
rrice, as most of those present seemed
more interested in the acid stains on
the doors and walls and in the bullet
holes than in the auction.
Curious women fingered vases. books
and bric-a-brac with keen relish, and
sauntered aimlessly through the apart :
ments, examining the minutest details
Of the fixtures.
A dining room table sold for $14.5O, a
leather chair for $275, a new sewing
machine for 1913, and so on, one by one,
until the last of the effects was dis
posed Of

The House Wife's Hard Duties
IN THE FARM HOUSE.

~ f ali over-worked women probably
the farmers wife is the hardest
worked. She has so much to
attend, to with very little help.
Hard work can be very much

tenn and she should try and take short
rest in the day time. AS a womans

highly organized it should have more

you should remove corsets or tight-fit-

THOUSANDS SEE GREAT
ZEE-NUT EXPLOSION
HERALD's SCHEME PROVES UN-
BOUNDED SUCCESS
Streets Are Thronged with Eager
Crowds of Spectators and Lucky
Winners Are Proud of
Prizes

The Herald's great Zee-Nut explosion
yesterday afternoon proved a rousing
success
Long before the scheduled time.
O'Clock. when the great rocket shot sky
ward and sent down a shower of cou-
pons, hundreds of urchins gathered in
front of the w. p. Chase Zee-Nut fac
tory at APO and 422 South Broadway,
and awaited the fun.
The crowd numbered more than 10000
persons.
For a half hour before The Herald
explosion was advertised to take place
the managers enlivened matters by
hurting hundreds of packages of Zee
Nut from the factory to the noisy but
good-natured kids.
1t was great fun, not only for the
youngsters who lined the streets, but
for the thousands of men and women
who crowded the sidewalks to such an
extent that traffic was absolutely inn
possible for at least twenty minutes.
1t was not an unexpected crowd, the
boys knew 1t was one of The Herald's
enterprising advertising schemes, and
the general public were aware if The
Herald was sponsor for a scheme Ii
would bring thousands to endeavor to
win prize and see the fun.
And the boys, how they enjoyed the
sweet-tasting, delicious Zee-Nut! Their
cry was more" and when the pack
ages came their way they fought des-
perately for them.
Shortly before the appointed hour the
megaphone man made his appearance,
which called forth a rousing shout from
the kids, and soon everything was in
readin IS for the great event of the
day, an event that thousands of Her.
aid readers came into town to witness.
NAI
The megaphone man yelled The fuse
is lighted; look out for the explosion
and sure enough in less than a second
there was a terrific explosion thou
sands of threats signed "Oh!' and as
the great rocket flew skyward thou
sands of eyes watched it's progress:
then another explosion, and there was
a shower of silvery pieces of paper,
resembling a flock of swallows, which
gently and easily sailed eastward.
The wind, being high and strong,
sent the 1890 Herald Zee Nut prize
coupons not on Broadway, but a little
further east; But this did not spoil the
fun at all, the gang of kids started af-
ter them. They soon landed. and with
in ten minutes after the rockets ascent
the boys presented their coupons at the
Office of Mr.. Chase, and true to The
Heralds promise, each holder received
what his prize paper called for
The prizes were really good. and the
boys appreciated the generosity of both
The Herald and the Zee-Nut manufac-
turers, and went away perfectly salts
fed with whatever prize they cap
tured.
This was one of the most successful
enterprises ever undertaken by news
paper, and The Herald's advertising
qualities were easily demonstrated by
the great showing of yesterday after
noon on South Broadway. The w. p.
Chase Zee-Nut company is also to be
congratulated for the success of the
affair and for their generosity. 1t
made a great hit, and will be the talk
of the town, and The Heralds big

for many days.
