NEW CORSET CLASP.
Keeps SteeIs from Pressing UncOm-
fortnbIy Against wenrer.

An invention OF interest TO women IS a
new corset clasp which is designed to
add much to the comfort Of the user
These clasps are SO shaped that when a
corset provided with them IS fastened TO
the wcarer they incline slightly outward
from about the waist line to the top %
the corset. and because OF this outward
inclination the steels cannot press IN
comfortably against the wearer. IN some
makes Of corsets this fault Of inward
pressure Is so pronounced that 1t causes
real suffering. and the afteT-effects are
sometimes serious. It frequently happens
that corsets. after they have been worn
only slightly, develop this fault and have
10 be discarded In this new invention,
on the Ieft-hand clasp, on the inner edge
near the top. is a little tongue, or clip,
that acts as a locking means. and pre-
vents the clasps. when hooked, rom
coming unfastened. which IS another an
noying feature Of many Of the old style
clasps.

Of BRUTAL PARENT
Sensational TestimonyMarks
Trial of Youth for Kill
ing Father.

QUITMAN. Miss, Aug S.-Some of
the most sensational testimony ever

Williams, the youth who killed his
father after the latter repeatedly had
threatened to kin him. Williams was
allowed bond up TO the sum of 5000.
Williams pleaded self-defense and sew
eral of the most Influential families in
this part Of the State testified that his
father was brutal to his family.
Williams said that not only had his
father threatened him with death on
several occasions, but that on the night
of the killing. Williams, ST., had told
him that he must die before morning.
The son testified that his father was
frequently Intoxicated. and declared
that he whipped his wife. His sisters,
young Williams averred. were compelled
10 sell whisky to any persons who came
to buy. On the Sunday previous to the
shooting. he said, a crowd OF negroes
was at the Williams home all day long,
gambling and drinking.
Ali o. his testimony was corroborated
by Williams sisters and brothers.
