SCARFS ARE IN MANY HUES.
But the Black Satin Wraps Of Last
Spring Still Are Popular.

New York, Sept 17.-Of all the
accessories of the up-to-date ward
robe no other is so conspicuous as
the scarf, for this useful adjunct
is for both day and night. The
black satin scarf, that came out as
early as last spring, still is a craze
here and abroad Many woman
who has gasped at the high prices
charged for such scarfs in the shops
has been amazed at the cost even
when she has bought material with
which to make one.
Double faced satin duchesse might
be used. instead of black with sep
arate lining, but this is still more
expensive, the handsomest costing
at least 81 yard in the width
wanted. The satin duChessc comes
in lovely combinations, black with
white, myrtle green and reseda, ma
rine and cadet blue, two tones of
DlONH lNO lolltS VI I'oN' WV ''''''
of gray. wistaria and light violet
and dozen other combinations of
two-tone or chameleon character. If
a colored lining is used with the
scarf. il should be of the tone most
conspicuous in the hat or gown.
The White Lining Popular
The white lining has been liked
best ever since the scarf first ap-
peared, and 1t still is the leader.
The ends of the scarf are shir-
red more often than not and fin
ished with long tassels, but because
the tassels have been used so much
other finishes are springing up.
The scarfs have been worn with
one end thrown over the shoulder,
while the other hung straight at the
side, or they have been knotted In
al! sorts of ways at the side or
front
Any number of attractive shoulder
throws are cropping out. one of
the oldest is the silk Frsian print
ed square cut in half and edged
all around with marabou. At each
side and In the front there are
slashes. through which novel little
straps that close it at the front
are threaded.
The Syrian or Egyptian scarfs,
hand riveted with gold and silver,
have been initiated in cheap crea-
tions so that they have been some
what hurt, but of all scarfs there
is none that more generally is be-
coming.
Persian silks in Many Shades.
Persian printed silks come for
scarfs in all the desirable color
combinations for day or night use
and they make up at smaller ex,
pense than when bought ready made.
Oriental counters have silk cfepes
and have sheerer weaves that may
be made into lovely shoulder throws
at small outlay OF time or money.
They are best hemstitched or bord
cred with Persian hens. the Persian
being cut In banda from piece of
silk. II the bands are fagoted on
they are better than applied more
plainly.
The iilmv white Nuremberg shawls
and scaris, made of the silkiest
wool that comes TO the market and
in the most open stitches. is being
used with tinted thin silk Innings
for lovely little head throws and for
scarfs and cspes. They are new TO
most OF the department stores and
often are mistaken for Shetland.

astounded than ever when they see
the latest smoking fad in full swing.
Instead of the cigarette, English so

The latest statistics issued in Berlin

ton has been about million year

effects OF this disproportion of popu-
lation in the two rival countries Is
obvious. Germany cannot complain

Old Meg she was a gipsy,
And lived upon the moors;
Her bed II was the brown heath turf,
And her house was out of doors
Her apples were swart blackberries,
Her currants pods o. broom;
Her wine was dew o. the wild white
rose,
Her book a churchyard tomb.
Her brothers were the craggy hills,
Her sisters larchen trees;
Alone with her great family
She lived as she did please.
No breakfast had she many-a morn,
No dinner many q noon.
And. stead OF supper. she would stare
Full hard against the moon.
But every morn of woodbine fresh
She made her garlanding,
And every night the dark glen yew

FOUL MURDER UNEARTHED.
HeadIess and Mutilated Body of Wo-
man Found in Chicago.

Chicago, ILL.,, Jan. 20.-One Of the
most atrocious murders in the police
history of Chicago was unearthed to-
day when the decapitated and mutt
lated body of Anna Furlong, also
known as Jennie Cleghorn, "a years
old, was found in resort at so West
18th street. Little is known of the
history of the murdered woman, ex'
cept that she came here from St
Louis seven months ago and that she
was married, but was living apart
from her husband. She had been an
inmate of the resort for severa.
weeks.
The head was evidently carried
awy by the murderer in an attempt
to conceal the identity of the victim
The body was mutilated in most
revolving manner. 1t had been dis
emboweled. Part of the scalp with an
ear hanging to it was found under
the bed. A knife seven inches long
with a wooden handle was found con-
cealed beneath the mattress. An
open trunk showed that perhaps the
murderer had made an attempt to
conceal the body. A basin of bloody
water and a newspaper stained with
blood were also in the room.
The police have six persons in Gus
tody and it said more arrests will
soon be made. Those under arrest
are:
Tillie Taylor, colored, proprietor
Of the resort; Lilly Dale and Lottie
Wilson, said to be inmates; William
Anderson, a negro hanger-on; Thorn
as Gildea, a porter in the resort, and
John Edwards, an Indian half-breed.
According to statements by the wo-
men in custody the Furlong woman
was accustomed to sleep in the re-
sort alone.
The other women say they left the
house at 1.30 a. m. The street door
was locked, but the door to the wo-
mans room was unlocked when the
body was discovered by Gildea at 10
a. m. The Dale woman admitted
that she and the murdered woman
had quarreled yesterday and that she
had struck the Furlong woman.

Sandbag Man Kills Himself.

New York, January 20.-Freder-
ick Boettcher, a Brooklyn jeweler,
was sandbagged and fatally shot in
his store late this afternoon by an
unknown man, who ended his life by
taking a capsule of carbolic acid be-
fore he could be locked up. Boett-
cher identified his assailant as man
who came to his store not long ago
and looked at some diamond rings.
It was on this plea that the stranger
entered to-day, presumably with the
intent of robbery. When the jewel
er started to come from behind the
counter the stranger pulled chamois
bag, filled with sand and shot, from
his coat pocket and struck blow
on the head. AS Boettcher reeled
the man fired a shot at him, which
took effect behind the jewelers. left
ear.
The shot brought Mrs. Boettcher
down from her apartments over the
store, and the man fed, leaving one
revolver in the store and throwing
another away as he ran along the
street. Hard pressed by the police,
who had been attracted by Mrs.
Boettcher's screams, the would-be
robber was seen to raise his hands to
his lips and swallow hastily. In a
moment more ne was under arrest,
and though apparently suffering, he
walked back to the store, where
Boettcher identified him as his as
sailant.
The prisoner was taken to the
police station and preparations were
begun to search him. Here he col
lapsed and died before medical as
sistance could be summoned. Ex::
animation by a surgeon later showed
beyond doubt that he had swallowed
carbolic acid in a capsule form.
Nothing was found on the man to
indicate his identity. His attempt at
robbery was a complete failure.
