BROWN DIES MONDAY
YOUTHFUL MURDERER'S LAST
HOPE is REMOVED.

Friends of Albert Brown. colored who
is under sentence TO pay the extreme pen
atty Of the law at the District jail next
Monday between the hours OF 10 and 2
O'Clock. were not surprised yesterday
when they learned that President Roose-
welt had denied the application for a COM
mutation of sentence.
The application. IL is said, was based
solely upon the age of the condemned
prisoner. At the time Of his arrest his
age was recorded as twenty-one years.

the court. 1t will be the first execution
TO take place under his supervision.
Rev John Roberts. colored. who has
gone upon scaffolds with more than forty
condemned men. is paying daily visits to
the prisoner. He says Brown believes
he has been forgiven. and is ready to pay
the penalty prescribed for his crime.
Brown has been attending the religious
meetings held in the prison Sunday after
moons. He was at the meeting last SUM-
day and may attend the exercises next
Sunday. his last Sunday on earth.
The condemned man shot and killed his
brother. Harvey Brown. after they had

engaged in the quarrel Albert declared he
would kill Harvey. He went away. pro-

Albert wanted to plead guilty to the
charge and have his mental sufferngs
over without delay. Justice Stafford re-
fused to accept the plea. which is not al
lowed in murder cases. The case was
tried March 8. The prisoner was prompt
ly convicted.
Brown was the first person to be tried
by Justice Stafford and convicted Of MUIR

Stafford saiC:

bench this is the first time il has been

It may be discouraging. but 1t is none
the less true, that no woman who is not
beautiful by nature can become so i'm
mediately. However. it is disbelief In this
irrevocable fact that leads many of the
fair sex to try various methods of effect
ing a quick change in their compilations,
most Of which are more harmful than
beneficial For the condition of a poor
skin is like physical illness that needs
treatment For instance: A woman who
is sick with fever does not expect to get
strong in a few hours when she knows
that weeks or months may be required
for convalescence. And SO she should
understand that the complexion. if. in
stead of being soft and smooth. is coarse
and covered with eruptions, needs DOCTOR
ing before it can be restored to health.
and that possibly this process will be
long and tiresome.
This truth I wish women would bear
in mind, especially in the summer, when
the skin is so easily injured by sun and
wind. and the temptation to use bleaches
is unusually strong.
About Freckle Beaches.
There is great desire. 1 know. for the
woman whose face is freckled. or whose
arms are similarly speckled. to apply
SAN-@>
white. But if she does this and escapes
with no surface irritation she is still
worse off than before because any bleach
that is strong enough to remove freckles
will make the skin more sensitive and so
more susceptible to these disf1gurements
in the future. One may not wish to adj
NIT this. but the fact remains:
The hope for a woman who has not
pretty skin lies in the use Of gentle lotions
and protecting the face or hands from
contact with sun and wind. The use Of
gloves is worth far more than pounds
Of whiteners applied at intervals. and a
thick veil is equal to its weight in gold as
a beautif1er. Neither of these is COM
Portable to wear in hot weather. but the
path to beauty, like that leading to other
desirable goals. Is not an easy one to
travel. and the life of professional
denial.
Harmless Whiteners.
No skin is so exquisite naturally that it
cannot be improved or aided by prepara-
tons that are soothing. Almond milk. for
instance, Is a boon, but its effect will not
be noticed until after weeks of constant
and regular application. Glycerin and
rose water Is apother combination that
after months Of application whitens and
ref1nes the skin, for 1t acts so slowly as to
be unnoticeable at the time. 1t is only
after months that the quality of the skin
evidences most rigid and proper care.
The same general principles of attention
are equally true regarding the hair. Many
women seem to think that tonic should
begin to act within a week. when. as a
matter Of fact. If the hair falls or is in
bad condition it Is quite frequently caused
by 9 condition Of the whole system The
tonic locally applied will be helpful. but
not until the scalp is toned and strength
ened and the general physical health i'm
proved will the tresses show any improve
ment.
Make haste slowly applies aptly in culti-
waiting beauty. II it is disregarded the
original condition either does not change
or 1t becomes worse.
