NOW 1T IS MRS. LAW.
Latest to Have Her Name Connected
With Alfred Vanderbilt.

| New York, March 2.-The gossips are
| in doubt again about Alfred Gwynne
| Vanderbilt. The calculations of all OF
! them have been upset in a most ruth
less fashion by the appearance of the
Mrs. George Law rumor, just as they
! had about decided that Gwynne was to
marry Mrs. Smith Hollins McKim. The
Mrs. Law rumOr carries the weight
of her or 10 million dollars which the
| daughter of cambridge Smith inherited
when George Law died in 1896.
| The Mrs. George Law rumor comes
from London and has to do with the
widows arrival there yesterday. Mrs.
| Law had sailed from New York so sud
| denly that her name did not appear on
the official cabin list of the Mauritania.
! She left just as there was talk of the
probable engagement of Mrs. McKim
to Mr.. Vanderbilt
Sunday Mrs. McKim arrived back in
| New York from her visit to her father
| in Baltimore. Asked if she would say
anything about her rumored engage
ment to Mr.. Vanderbilt, she replied.
Really there isn't anything that 1 can
say now. Plans? Oh, dear, l haven't
any. 1 am free. 1 am happy, and glad
of it, 1 intend to remain happy
It is said Mrs. McKim is to go to
London soon.
Mrs. Law, in the meantime, reached
London. Vanderbilt, who has been in
London several weeks. met her at the
Paddington station at 1 o'clock in the
morning.
You got my wire?'' asked Mrs. Law
of the wealthy American. They shook
hands.
az am returning to London to try to
extend the lease of my house in May
fair Mrs Law told intervieWerS. My
visit to America was made solely on
account of business matters"
Asked whether she intended to marry
Mr.. Vanderbilt. she cried:
''Nonsense!"

WILL HURT THE CAUSE.
Plan to Divert the Hunters License
Fund

81 want the hunters of Kansas to
know that the state is figuring on TAX
ing money which they have paid in as
license fees away from them,' said l..
L. Dyche, state fish and game warden.
There is a move on in the direction
of diverting at least part of the $780,
900 collected in the last two years or
more from the hunters to the general
revenue fund and Professor DYche is
worried.
THE law isn't worth the paper it is
written on said he, eff you haven't
the money to enforce it. 1t is not the
men who are paying licenses who are
violating the laWS-we must run these
fellows down. Last year Missouri
spent $4,000 in the enforcement of
her game laws.
Everybody is writing for fish. I
had forty-six applications for fish last
Friday and Saturday. The farmers
are building ponds. There are four
teen inches of water in the present
hatcheries. The new plans which I
hope to have $4,000 to carry out
would provide for 33 acres, and that
would be only half large enough

rendered a piano solo as the first num-

In the afternoon 1900 persons
mostly children-crowded into the as

Climate Failed
Medicine Cured.

1t has been abundantly shown that rest,
fresh air, and good food, do help many
persons sufferlng from tuberculosis But
to be really. honest, it must be admitted
that the disease is seldom more than
arrested Something more is needed.
Eckman's Alternative is a medicine made
for the cure of Tuberculosis. It has cur
ed this disease again and again. Often
these cures have been effected where the
intelligent care was taken Of the patient,
where money was scarce; good food and
good cooking unusual-yet cures result
ed. Now we argue and urge that Eek
mans Alternative should be used in every
case of tuberculosis, in addition to good,
all need.

have been made-are interesting reading.

OPPOSED BY JEWS.
Bill Regulating the Manner of
SIaughtering Animals.

Boston, March 2.-Jewish rabbis
and physicians will make a strong
plea before the committee on public
hath in opposition to a bill submitted
by the society for the prevention of
cruelty to animals providing that ami
mails intended for food shall be
thrown and stunned before being
slaughtered, and that no animal shall
be hung up by it's legs before it is de-
prived of sensation. Rabbis say that
if the passed, the bill would force the
10000 or more Jews in Massachu-
sets to secure meat from outside the
commonwealth, as they declare it runs
counter to Jewish laws and customs.
For many centuries the Jewish
method of slaughtering has been to
cast the creature and cut its throat
with a single stroke of the knife.
Jewish physicians declare that the
creature suffers no pain when killed
in this manner.

WOMEN TAKEN AWAY.
They Are Transferred From the Asy-

Ideal Attendants Scarce.
Albany, N. Y, March 2.-In his an
nual report to State superintendent OF
Prisons Collins, DR.. Robert F. Lamb,
medical superintendent of Matteawan

cation because of alleged crueltieS by
attendants, states that on account OF
the long hours, small pay and infre-
ouent promotions 1.-The ideal attendant
is comparatively infrequent Hospital
forces in other states, he says, are as
fiuctuating and depleted as in this
state, and he adds: THE employees
themselves know this and exhibit an
indifference and inefficiency that at
times is far from pleasant. If sharp
reprovals are made, they resign and
move on to the next institution or state
knowing full well that a further en-
ployment of like nature is generally to
be had for the asking.
DR.. Lamb says, however, that there
are numerous instances of faithful ser
vices and interest which make possible
the conduct of the institution.
Dr. Lamb calls attention to the ov-
ercrowded condition of the hospital, the
population being approximately 90 per
cent larger than the buildings were Or
iginallv designed to accommodate. The
result of this croWding he says, "has

with this accusation if they testified
he was insane. The experts unani-

Flint, there was no motive for him
to plead insanity and that conV1ct1on
meant a short term in prison. While
acquittal on the ground of insanity
meant incarceration for life at Matte

who goes about with a hollow cough,
explaining that she caught cold when
she washed her head.
Dry shampooning is the right meth
cd of caring for the hair. You really
can brush beauty into your hair. Here
is a recipe for making a powder that
I know from personal experience to be
all right: Put in a fruit jar half a
pound of corn meal, then add four
ounces of amotone and shake well.
This is less expensive than orris root,
and far better, for amotone is a nat
ural hair grower.
Sprinkle a tablespoonful of this
mixture over the head, then brush out
with stiff bristle brush. 1t brushes
out very easily and removes every par
ticle of dust, dandruff and excessive
oil, makes the hair light, fluffy and
lustrously brilliant"
