PROOF OF GENTIllTY.

Sleeves That Hid the Hands Showed
the wsarsrs Didn't Work.
The practice observed among Span
ish hidalgos Of allowing the finger
nails to grow into claws was to DEM
onstrate that they had never done any
manual work. The same custom ex.
lists among the Chinese for the same
reason.
Among the Romans the wearing of
long sleeves. which came down over
the hand. was the fashion in aristo-
cratic circles. This advertised to the
world that the wearer did not engage
in any labor and freedom from en-
ployment was the condition Of re-
spectability.
English boots and shoes have been
designed more or less for the same
purpose as that Of the Chinese. who
bind their women's feet in proof of
their gentility. As early as the time
of William Rufus peaked toed boots
and shoes" had their points made like
a scorpions tail, and a courtier nam.
ed Robert stuffed his out with tow,
and caused them to curl round in the
form of a rams horn. fashion which
took nightly among the mobiles. 1,
Is plain that the purpose Of this fash
ion was to show that the privileged
wearer was not dependent on any kind
of labor or heetness OF foot for bis
daily bread.
The practice Of wearing tight fitting
boots and shoes is an old one, for

National News Association)

NEW YORK. April 2s.-After re-
naming for more than thirty-six hours

street with the body of his beautiful
young wife whom he had killed Al
bert DeBrahms. a violinist we'll known
in New York and Paris. shot and kill
ed himself while the police were break
ing into the apartment today. A mys-
FERROUS feature of the tragedy is the
fact that an elderly woman who was
visitor at the DeBrahms apartment
just before noon and left showing no
signs OF excitement despite, the po-
lice state, she must have known some
thing was wrong, for an Investigation
has revealed scattered and broken
furniture, evidently disarranged while
the murdered woman was fighting for
her life The murdered and the suicide
were discovered when the elevator
boy found two notes beneath the door
Of the DeBrahms apartment. The boy
found one of the letters was address
ed to himself. The other was address
ed to Mrs. c. e. DeBrahms of Union
Hill. n. j.. mother of the dead must
clan. Upon reading his note the boy
called in a policeman. Mrs. DeBrahm's
body was found In the bathtub ter
ribly disfigured. apparently from acids.
DeBrahm's body WAS found in q chair.
1t was still warm and he evidently
shot himself when he learned a police
man was called. The police think De-
Brahms was insanely jealous OF his
wife and killed her in fit Of jealousy.
The dead man had purchased a big
trunk and il was filled with clothes
and the police think DeBrahms had
intended to flee.

SUICIDE EVIL WAS
TOPIC FOR DEUTER
Salvation Army Leader Tells
Pastors How to Check
Its Growth.

Speaking before the members of the
Richmond Ministerial association at
the regular meeting OF that organiza-
ton this morning, Captain Herman H.
Deuter. head of the local branch of the
Salvation Army, deplored the increase
in the number of suicides In this city
and in the country in general. Captain
Deuter declared that the number of
suicides is increasing with astonishing
rapidity. He stated that every or
ganization OF every character should
assist In checking the spread Of this
evil
Captain Deuter gave statistics on
the number Of suicides in the world
last year, showing that 100000 per-
sons took their own lives, and of this
number from $4,000 to $1,000 persons
committed suicide in the United
States.
There were eight suicides in Rich
mond during the year of 1911 and
three suicides outside Of the city, max
ing total Of eleven in Wayne county.
ut is due to the nervous pressure.
the rush. care and hurry of our work."
said Mr.. Deuter. THE anti-suicide bur
eau of the Salvation Army is doing
everything it possibly can do to lessen
this evil. Last year the bureau saved
875 would-be-suicides from killing
themselves"
Captain Deuter asserted that he and
his co-workers in Richmond saved sew
en- persons from ending their lives,
one being a woman. The captain ex-
planned the methods used by the
Army in saving people from suicide.
He said that in mixing with the poor
er classes, among whom the suicide
rate is large, they would discover per-
sons upon whom the duties Of life
were wearing and would get them to
unburden their troubles. Interest
would be shown in their cases and help
extended them and they would be en-
couraged to take a more optimistic
view Of life.
