Frank In Criticisms.

Sumner was quite frank in his criticisms
of Sutton's character. He said he con-
sdered him untruthful, overbearing, the
possessor Of a disagreeable personality,
and a man TO be avoided.
Mai. Leonard to-day called James NJ.
Wiedenfeld. an embalmer. and Henry r.
Taylor. an undertaken. TO the stand.
These two men prepared Suttons body
Cor burial The object in calling them
was to hnd II they had any knowledge
concerning the truth OF the report that
one OF Suttons arms was broken. They
said they had not examined the body 10
see II any bones We're broken. but
thought they would have noticed a
broken arm If there had been one when
they dressed Sutton for burial.
Prof Gilbert T. Coleman, of the Ma
val Academy. testified that he was with
Sutton all the afternoon. and that even
ing preceding the night he died. He left
Sutton and Miss Mary Stewart. Of Pitts
burg. at the Carvel Hall Hotel at mid
night. Sutton was happy. and in the
best OF spirits. The three had spent
part OF the evening at the residence OF
Mr. Roberts. in Annapolis whore Miss
Stewart played and sang for them.

business card announced that he is an
expert In inks and handwriting" took
the stand. He was summoned by Mr.
Davis 70 prove Sutton could not possibly
have inflicted upon himself the wound
from which he died.
DR.. Schaeffer produced two skulls and
gave a demonstration. He also lay across
a table and tried 20 pull the trigger OF
a revolver held against his head at the
point where the bullet entered Sutton s

Schaeffer's demonstrations to-day were
made with a shoTt-barreled revolver. A

 Inexpensive madras, duck and pique VII au be used for suits. but linen win lead this summer for the street and afternoon frock, and always tail ored in a smarter fashion than any other tub material.
 At this season a chat about lingerie blouses will be in order.

 The sleeves are long and tight ae' oording to Dame Fashion, but without doubt the popular short elbow length with ruffles will ba seen in afternoon and evening waists and dresses.

 EFFECT OF GOOD CLOTHES From among the many new fasn- ions that originate in Gay Paree. occasionally the daring and original French women beget a costume. style or fad that is received with enthusi- asm when it reaches her less original sisters.
 So far the American women have been capable ofs eliminating the sen sational and bazaar effect in regard to women's dress, and retaining the new and fascinating conceits which produce the charming effect which is So much admired by both sexes.
 The effect of good clothes is seen and felt more and more every day. A well groomed appearance gives an added stimulent to the business and social woman's make up. To the old as well as the yonng.
 Good clothes produce an indepeud- ent feeling that whatever else nap pens "you look as good as anybody ! One of the French recipes for ennui or as VIC would say "tho blues is to saunteT forth arrayod in ones most becoming gown. with hat. shoes, belt and gloves to match. What fen inlnc heart does not thrill when 8 long ponderCd gown comes home from tae dressmaker's shop, dream. one of the criticisms made of our American women by foreign women Is the disregard of the majority O. their western sisters as to their every day appearancU and clothes. Inc English and French womea take great pride in their personal. everyday appearance. Each morn ing finds the wife and mother in he, most becoming nouse dress, with her hair meroelled, and arranged in a Pleasing coiffure. To her already dainty appearance she adds 8 nlinea- tuTe scrap of an apron with numerous uuffles and frills, set off with a touch of becoming ribbon.
 Not only the French housewife. but the maid and laundry women are crisp and net in their coarse cotton frocks with their immaculate white cuffs and collars.

none Of 1t.
"One day my sister substituted a
cup of piping hot Postum for m morn
ing cup Of coffee but did not tell me
what it was. l noticed the richness OF
1t and remarked that the coffee tasted
fine, but my sister did not tell me l
was drinking Postum for fear I might
not take any more.

me Postum instead OF coffee until 7
grew stronger, more tireless. got a bet
ter color in my sallOw cheeks and a

OF the health-giving, nerve-strengthen-
Ing life-saver she had given me in place
Of my morning coffee. From that time

words can do justice in telling the good
this cereal drink did me. | will not
try to tell it, for only after having
used 1t can II be convinced OF its
merits"
Ten days trial shows Postum's
power to rebuild what coffee has de-
stroyed. There's a reason"

Champ Clark on Tobacco.

From the st. Louis Republic.
4 southern tobacco grower was before
the ways and means committee arguing
that a higher tariff should be placed upon
Egyptian tobacco. He said the American
industry needed more protection.
isn't it a fact that the reason Egyp-
ton tobacco Is sold in such great quanti-
ties is because so many people have cult
waited a taste for it?' asked Champ Clark,
leader of the House and member Of the
committee.
''Well, 1 suppose that is true" admitted
the southern advocate.
And wouldn't they insist upon getting
his Egyptian tobacco in their ,cigarets,
ever If 1t cost more?"
Yes" admitted the witness reluct-
nntly.
well, then, what good would a higher
tariff do you fellows?" asked Clark.
"Oh, it would do the country generally
a lot of good. Think of how much revenue
it would mean to the country"
"The country would be a whole lot bet
ter Off" said Clark, III tobacco were done
away with altogether-if they did away
with the whole thing, cigars, pipe and
plug"
Maybe you would not think so If you
were a user of it," said the witness.
I've got a good chaw of it in my mouth
this minute" said Clark, carefully direct
ing the overflow into a cuspidor. Don't
know wha l would do without it," he
added, when the laugh had subsidized.
