was wronged by Smith while she
was but sixteen. He promised to
marry her and continued paying
attentions to her till about Is
months ago, when he forsook her,
refusing to make good his promise
of marriage and giving her to I'M
derstand that he would do moth
ing for her. He began to pay at
tentions to another woman.
Then Mamie Mclaughlin killed
him. She is held without bail on
a charge of murder, awaiting trial
in the parish prison. The trial,
which opened today, bids fair to
be a memorable one, since it will
probably settle the tsatus of the
unwritten law" as touching
women.
The Era club, which leads the
women's organizations of Louisi-
ana, is raising a fund for the de-
Tense. If necessary, the case will
be carried to the supreme court of
the United States.

plea of "unwritten law"
Clubwomen of Louisiana have

Laughlin and $4,000 women of

When Were the Beef
Trust Books Burned?
II On Thursday, Well and Good,
But IL On Friday, Armour's
Chief Counsel Must Go To Jail
for Contempt of Court.

CHICAGO, Aug. 22. Certain
note books containing stenographio
notes for letters regarding beef
prices were burned in the Armour
offices in Packingtown.
If they were burned ON Thurs
day it was very ordinary bon
fire of little or 10 significance.
But if they were burned on FRI
day it was very momentous and
significant bonfire indeed. For if
1t can be shown that they were
burned on Friday, certain people
must needs go to Jail for contempt
of court, towit:
Alfred r. Urion, general coun-
sci for Armour G Co., and presi-
dent of the Chicago school board /;
Geo. M. Willetts, assistant office
manager for Armour &c Co.; w.
w. Shaw, head stenographer for
Armour & Co.; and W. A. Helan-
der. clerk in the stationery depart
ment of Armour & Co.
The books in question were de-
manded by the federal grand jury
working on the beef trust probe.
1t was believed that they were
filled with discriminating dictation
regarding beef prices. But the
grand jury was told that the books
had just been burned.
Now, before Judge Kenesaw
Mountain Lands, is being
thrashed out the question, "When
were the books burned "
If they were burned on Thursday
they were burned before the grand
jury made its demand for them; If
on Friday, it was after the demand
had been made.
Various Armour employees who
have been examined during the
hearing exhibit curious consist
ency In the matter of lapses of
memory. For the lives of them
they can't remember whether the
books were burned on Thursday or
IN Friday.
Among these witnesses Miss
Maud Dimmock, for seven years
confidential secretary of the gem
eral manager of the Armour com
pany, shines with peculiar bril-
fiancy. She is clearly a woman
among women, for she can keep a
secret, In spite OF some of the
brightest legal lights ON Uncle
Sans pay roll.

"Poslam did for my wife. who
Is spending the winter abroad,
what no doctor could do. Half the
jar entirely cured her of the most
diSfiguring form of scaIy eczema,
which simply covered her face.
fourteen days after the first ap-
plication her face was fair, smooth
and without spot or blemish. We
look upon it as nothing short of a
miracle. 1t is the greatest skin
remedy we have ever found either
in Europe or America and we have
tried celebrated specialists, all
sorts OF cures and many patent
remedies" This statement, made
by Mr.. A. E. Gardner, of Bridge
port, Conn, is but one of the thou
sands of similar expressions re-
garding the actual accomplish
ments of Doslam in the eradication
of every form of skin disease, ecze-

psoriasis, shingles, etc, besides the
minor skin affections (such as
pimples, blemishes, red noses,

In Little Old New York
BY NORMAN.

NEW YORK, Aug. 17.-Prac-
tically every visitor to New York
sees Fifth avenue" But they see
the avenue from Washington
square to Andrew Carnegie
home, and think they have seen it
all.
But they have not. Any visitor
who wants to see some of the
real New York that no rubber
neck wagon" takes in may well
walk north on Fifth avenue from
Ninetieth street to Mt. Morris
park. At Ninety-fourth street the
handsome homes cease.
The street itself is sort OF
promenade for the upper East
Side ghetto. The roadway is al
most deserted. Along the curb
are fruit carts, ice cream wagons
soft drink vendors and peddlers
of many descriptions. Sidewalks
are literally filled with people.
At 10th street there is cir
Gle. on which a dozen moving pic
ture shows and confectionery
stores front. From 10th street
on there are apartment houses. AT
12Oth street one comes to a hill,
surrounded by park. The hfil is
Mt. Morris, and the park is Mt.
Morris park.
Standing on Mt. Morris, you
may look down this flaring Great
Yellow Way of upper Fifth ave-
nue.. 1t is hard to believe 1t can
be part of the same staid old Fifth
avenue which enchants the eye
and depletes the pocketboek a
mile or two to the southwark.

that l had the right to tell him, SO
l don't remember whether 1 said

the missing dictation was about.

OLYMPIA GIRL ENTICED BY
SOL DlERS MAY DIE

Bernice Sturgis, aged 16, en-
ticed from her home at Olympia
by a soldier who was passing
through the city Saturday, is said
to have spent the time until yes
terday with the soldiers. She slept
out in the brush on blanket
they supplied, and now she lies in
st. Joseph's hospital with a bullet
in her abdomen, an injury that
may prove fatal.
She was lying in the brush
around Camp Cosgrove yesterday
morning when Paul Beck, aged
IA, and Bud Rogers, Is, sons of
army officers, went out to hunt.
They saw the bushes move,
thought there was a pheasant, and
young Beck fired his 22-caliber
rifle. There was a scream and
the girl fell with a bullet in her
body. The ball had passed
through her forearm and entered
the abdomen.
The medical corps at Camp Cos
grove took charge of her and
later brought her to st. Joseph S
hospital.
Her stepfather, C. ]. Roberts
of the Olympia Granite & Marble
works, came to Tacoma yesterday
looking for her, and found her in
the hospital.
General Maus is investigating
to ascertain the identity of the
soldier who enticed her away from
Olympia.

ing quotes from a pamphlet publish

Bankers Discovered" a passage that
may be reproduced:
"Much about the same time-the
time of the civil commotion-the gold
smiths Tor new fashioned bankers) be-
gan to receive the rents of gentlemen's
estates remitted to town and to allow
them and others who put cash into
their hands some interest for 1t if it
remained but a single month in their
hands or even a lesser time. There
was a great allurement to put money
into their hands. which would bear
interest till the day they wanted 1t.
and they could also draw 1t out by
f10O or ESQ. ETC.. at time as they
wanted 1t with infinitely less trouble
than If they had lent 1t out on either
real or personal security. The conse-
quence was that it quickly brought

A HINDU WIZARD.
His Trick That Puzzled an Occidental
Master of Magic.

Some of the tricks of the Hindu
wizards are past understanding. ac-
cording to an occidental master of
magic who was speaking of his orien-
tai rivals This is what he says he
saw a Hindu wizard do in a club in
Lucknow:
'He took a board and placed it on
four glass goblets. thus elevating 1t
from the floor. A youngster sitting on
the board was requested to place his
hands together, palms up. Then the
juggler took a glass of water and
poured it into the outstretched hands
of the boy. In the meantime the boy
had been mesmerized. and his atten-
ton was fixed on a point indicated by
the magician. Gradually the water
turned green in color and then devel-
opel into jelly which increased in
density until 1t became as solid as
stone. Out of the center Of this ap-
peared the head of a snake. which
gradually developed until in the place
of the water there appeared Kissing
reptile l was amazed, l can assure
you, but the trick was not yet COM
pleted. Hitting the reptile upon the
head with his wand, the juggler took
it up carefully and placed it back in
the glass AS we looked 1t became
transformed into jelly, which in turn
melted into a greenish colored water.
Clearer and clearer became the fluid
until 1t was of Its original color. and
then the juggler placed it to his lips
and drank the entire contents This
was the most wonderful trick I ever
saw performed. and 1t is as mysterious
20 me today as il was then"
