BLACK HAND SOCIETY.
Police Believe Outrage in Italian Set
Element Joke on Itself.

Chicago. March 16.-The Black
Hand society Of Chicago is believed
by the police who are working on the
latest outrage in the north side Ital-
ian settlement to have played a ghast-
ly joke on itself in the murder of
Phillippi Maniscalsco, who with An
thony Dugo, was assassinated Tues
day night.
Maniscalsco is believed by the
authorities to have been a member of
the black hand. According to the
theory on which they are now work
ing, he and his nephew, Lorenzo Man
iscalsco, had been deputized to lure
Dugo, who had refused to pay black
mail, to the place where he was slain
One of the bullets aimed at Dugo went
wild and killed Maniscalsco. This
theory fits in with all the facts the
police now have. If it fails later on
they have another. That is that there
was treachery inside the black hand
itself and that Maniscalsco was muir
dered as a result of that treachefy.
The police have not yet run down
the murderers, but they have succeed
ed in discovering the bullets with
which the deed was done. These are
two slugs three quarters of an inch
in diameter, and weighing nearly an
ounce each.

PLACE FOR FIELD MUsEtN
Will Be Located at jackson Park.
Chicago.

Chicago, March 16.-Chicago's pro-
posed $s,000.Oe0 Field Museum of
Natural History, ,bequeathed to the
city by the late Marshall Field. is to
be located in Jackson park, where the
worlds Columbian exposition was
held. This was finally decided yester-
day at a joint meeting of the South
park commissioners and the trustees
of the museum. By unanimous vote
the commissioners accepted the propo-
sition of the trustees to locate the
museum in the park and voted to set
aside land for the purpose.
Unless the trustees had been able
to secure a site before January Is
next, the bequest would have reverted
to the Field estate.
The trustees who have tried for
years to have the museum located in
Grant park on the lake front, but have
been unable to accomplish their pur-
pose owing to the fight against it by
A. Montgomery Ward, expressed
themselves as satisfied that the site
selected is the next best one in the
city.

EASY TO ACQUIRE
YOUTHFUL COMPLEXION

1T is SO easy to acquire smooth rosy.
youthful complexion that no woman need
despair" writes Mrs. Mae Martyr, beau
y expert in the New York Chronicle
But in doing SO, one must not use face
powder, as it enters the pores-enlarges
them, causing dull, sallow, rough com
plex1ons and eventually wrinkles
Much better than any face powder is
an inexpensive lotion made by dissoIying
TOUR ounces spurmax in one-half pint hot
water, then adding two teaspoonfuls
glycerine. This lotion is wonderful skin
Deaut1fier and when applied to a muddy
nfeIesS, salloW complexion will soften and
Wh1ten the skin, and remove that shiny
rough or aged look.
This lotion does not rub off easily like
powder and it lends to the skin a CHARM
ing tone of youthful freshness without
giving that painted powdered look"
