 PATTON.
Mrs. Q. N. Hearn, Annoyed and Threat- eaed by Half Breed, Uses Her
 Pistol With Deadly

Mrs. C.. M. Hearn, of s10 Monroe street, walked into police headquar- ters Monday evening and gave herself up for arrest, saying that she had shot q negro woman named Nita Patton who had threatened her..
 Bicycle oficars Cantey and Cloud were sent to Mrs. Hearn's home and found the negro woman lying on the front porch. The partol wagon waf sent for and the injured woman brought to police headquarters. An examination by City Physician Griel showed the woman had been shot through the abdomen just below the stomach. She did not lose conscious ness but seemed in great pain. Her face was drawn and fixed and her forehead was soaked with perspira .tion.
 In spite of her condition sic refused to allow Dr. driel to operate and de- manded that she be placed under the care of another physician. Her de- mand was granted and the patrol wagon conveyed her to c negro in- firinary. pr. Griei said she was in q precarious condition. that she was not bleeding much externally and that the abdomen was becoming distended, and that from his preliminary examination he believed the intestines were per forated. The woman was also shot through the right hand.
 Mrs. Hearn declined to discuss the matter other than stating to the DO lice that she had shot in helf defense and had warned the woman away from her home. where the shooting occurred. The affray did not last long and occurred at about e:45 o'clock in the eveninE, It seems the negro wo- man was incensed with Mrs. Hearn

 And there are many in the city of Montgomery who are just awaking, to the realization that there Is some thing, big something, gone from their lives. At first 1t seemed far on and vague; Friday and Saturday were passed successfully, with the catas- trophe fresh in mind. But Sunday came, with its usual restraint, and the usual Monday thirst arose from the first-of-the-weck couch of the average Montgomerian.

 Immediately after the shooting Mrs. Hearh ran to the police office and snr- rendered. She was allowed to use the telephone and immediately called up with whom she lives. and told her not to worry, that she was in good hands and would be taken care of. She did not seem upset by the occurrence and talked with the oficers, keeping her nerve spIendidly under the circum- stances.
 Later in the evening she was given Into the custody of Constable Jones and was taken to the ofice of Magic tratc Ollie Young. who granted the request of her people that they be ale lowed to take her home and be re- sponsibie for her.
 Mrs. Hearn was formerly Miss Car rife Williams of sWetumpka and was a niece of the late Montgomery Mar sbaf. of Pensacola. Fiay who upon his death, some time ago. left her several thousand dollars. She married a man named Albert Hearn who recently be- came involved in questionable mat ter. and since, then they have not been living together.

CONFLICTING RULES FOR INFANCY

Treat the baby as a tropical
plant, advises one authority,
and do not try to tougher him
by taking him out every day.
Thirty-five degrees is cold
enough for a child under two
years. Never take him out
when the atmosphere is dark
and rainy, and keep him in the
sunshine and out OF the wind
as much as possible. Protect
the eyes from the sun always
with dark umbrella.
Take him out every day, says
another highly qualified expert.
Never mind how hard it rains
or blows or SHOWS. Get as quiet
street as you can find; or use
sheltered piazza, If you have
it,-but give the baby eight
hours Of outdoor air every day.
Tie veil over his face, says
one. Don't tie veil over his
face, says another.
1t Is lucky that we do not
have to obey every direction
that We see.

In 1870 there were 373,332 women
agricultural laborers in this country.
In 1900 there were 663,209. Women
still do some hard work. But the
gain in the number Of women agricul'

enty-seven per cent.
Compare 1t with the gain In the
number Of women Farmers, Planters
and Overseers." In 1870 there were
22,6S1. In 1900 there were 3O7,706. 1t
was gain of 1886 per cent. In other
words. while the women laborers, tho
subordinates, failed to double their
numbers during the period from 1870
to 1900, the women Farmers, Plant
ers and Overseers," the persons in au
thority, doubled their numbers more

AMERICANS ARE VICTIMS
OF EUROPEAN DEALERS
Consul in Scotland Sounds Waning Of the Traffic in
Alleged Antiques, the Many Frauds Perpetrated,
and the Bold Impositions on Collectors

Americans who go proving about
Europe I'm search Of antiques fan easy
victims TO uus0rupulous dealers, ac-
cording to Consul Maxwell Blake, who
makes n report from Dunfermline, Scot
land, in which ne gives people on this
side Of the water a solemn warning. He
tells at length Of the traffic In alleged
antiques the frauds perpetrated and
the impOsitions on collectors.
Mr.. Blake says that all through the
United Kingdom and continental Europe
frauds are perpetrated on the inexperi-
enced collector Of old silver china, and
period furniture. He says the United
States is reputed to harbor more "artis-
tic atrocities" that were purchased as
genuine than any other country I'm the
world. and there may be even a greater
luX OF pseudo works OF art to Ameri-
can shores unless the frauds are detect
ed by Government experts or rejected
by public taste
Just now. miniatures and decorated
snuff and patch boxes are being most
extensively collected by Americans.
These and other such small articles,
says Mr.. Blake. are manufactured by
dextrous copyists, and are readily pro-
durable by the gross. He says no one
not possessing knowledge OF the subject
should ever allow himself to be tempted
TO purchase miniatures unless he is con-
tent to possess a cabinet Of forgeries.
Copies of color prints are sold to
the inexperienced at enhanced prices.
says Mr.. Blake's report. He points
out that "Old marks on china are
meaningless. He says the buyer should
always insist on the written guaranty,
as the English courts have recently
sustained the contention that IL a
false description of an antique is
given in the invoice. the purchaser Is
entitled to full recovery. He finds
that much faxed Sheffield silver is
offered. and that IS per cent Of the
