A STRANGE BELIEF.
Woman Kills Servant of a Former
 Existence.

Tokio, December 25.--fSpeciai.)-The old Oriental belief in reincarnation was used as a defense by woman named Yasu and her lover Yataro, accused of murder ing the woman's husband, Kfchigero. The woman made a remarkable speech to the judge, in which she explained her motive for killing her husband.
 Listen with your whole-soued atten- tion," she began. Hess you should miss my words and ask me to speak again, which I will never do. I had very pro- found motive in killing my husband Kich- igero. It was all due to the dispensa- tlon of Providence.
 Tn my previous existence I was a beautiful geisha, named Haekichi. A certain feudal lord fell in love with me and proposed to buy me. dslked him, yet what could I do? He madly in- sisted and had no choice but to yield.

The Most Interesting Event Sch y,
Our Great Fall MerCh0
Editorial

Style tendencies as shown by the new
arrivals of fall merchandise for the big
fall merchandise show and sale to be held
at The Bargain Store this Reunion.
The new dress goods will be seen in violet,
amethyst, and all the allied purple shades
for the high style novelty colors The
very deep dark reddish puppies are espec-
tally favored in this class. For popular
wear, old rose in the deep dark tints is
being shown extensively. Staple colors
will be blue and brown. Darker shades
OF these will be very popular with the
conservatives. The novelty blues will be
royal and gendarme, and the light gray
ish shades. There is large showing of
browns; the deep tints as well as the
lighter shades, as castor, wood and
leather. Gray is popular in the deeper
tints which are darker than the taupe
and shocked of last season Greens are

the warm yellowish and brownish tints.
The reds are darker and the wine and
purplish grape shades are much in evil
dence; the colors as whole seem to
trend to the very dark and somber hues,
not dull or faded effects, but simply deep
and very dark in tone and shade. Fab
RIGS in the exclusive high-class novelties
are the cotelle or corded effects and the
rough weaves. Stripes in the shadow as
well as the two tone are the best liked
designs. The diagonal stripes will gain
in popularity as the season advances.

SCOTLAND Weeks BRASS BAND.

We haven't heard it yet, but we
soon will. Already between sixty
and seventy dollars have been sub
scribed, and the band is in fair way
of being sure thing. Several more
subscriptions are all that is needed
to give the people of Scotland Neck
music that will make the heart glad.
We need brass band because we
all love music, and no music affords
more pleasure and puts more life in
to its hearers than does the music of
the brass band.
We will need the music Of brass
band on Memorial Day to make per-
feet and complete the loving celebra-
ton that will be held then. Wen
probably not have one, certainly not
one of Scotland Neck s making, but
other memorial days are coming, and
we must make now what we will
need then.
A large hall is being built; how
necessary it is and how appropriate
it will be to have good band that
will furnish music on the occasion of
the coming of a good play here.
Many other ways in which much
benefit is to be derived from good
band could be enumerated but "a
word to the wise is sufficient" This
will set US to thinking, and thinking
we will act, and acting the band
will play.
Don't wait to be called on before
acting.
