Beauty Developer EIectrocutes
Vain Pittsburg Chef.
Remarkable Fads of Man Who Sought
to Resemble Women-AlI the
FoibIes of Fair Sex Both as to
Dress and Toilette.

plttsburg. Pa.-Artificial methods
utilized by him to improve his face
and figure we're responsible for the
death of Charles Beab, French chef
at the Union Depot restaurant of the
Pennsylvania railroad, here, with an
electric needle in his breast, the vic
tim Of a beauty craze having been
electrocuted.
The unusual death Of the man Is the
basis of wide discussion here, Sand
everybody, including the deputy cor
oners who investigated the death. is
puzzled as to whether the man took
this unusual method Of ending his
life to secure notoriety, or his going
out was accidental.
The mans body, when examined,
was found to be nodded or the lines
Of a woman. He wore a long pair of
white c%orsets, attached to and under
the skirt Of which we're heavy pads.
The chef wore long silk stockings,
which we're connected with the corsets
wa h"V 'NbNldllOl HODO buppO1l ..
At a social function recently Beab
was one of the gayest, and did not re-
turn home until about one o'clock.
He almost Immediately began prepar-
ing to retire, and began his regular
nightly beauty development stunt.
After his face had been massaged
with cold cream Beab began using an
electric needle for his bust develop
ment.
He had attached the wire to an cleo
roller in the center of his room, and
Standing before a mirror began work
Ing the needle in his breast. He had
frequently used the needle before, and
Just what caused the accident may
never be known.
Occupants Of other apartments
heard a fall, and Fastening to the
room found Beab dead. A physician
was summoned, and after examining
the body stated that death was due to
el~ectrocution. Friends we're shocked
when they learned of the details and
conditions surrounding the death.
Although he was known as n OF
the most f~astidious, they never sus-
pected that he was such a slave to
fashions DEGREES or beauty quest.
When the victim began his nanipula-
tons he had removed his shirt and
thin vest, such as women wear, and
threw a fine silk shawl over his Shout
ders. The trousers which he wore
were of some light striped material,
woven for women's we:-.
When the coroner was summoned
and removed the body to the morgue
pending an investigation a search was
made of the apartments. In the bath
room attached to the apartment was
found an extensive line of beauty To-
tons, while in the victims trunks and
wardrobe were found numerous arti-
cles, supposed to be for the exclusive
use of women.
There we're also found many photo
graphs Of members of the fair sex.

DEDICATION SERVICES COMMENCED
At $50 ?. N. SYNOPSIS Of EVENTS

The ceremonies of the dedication
were most impressive. At 1880 the
Grand Lodge officers entered, led in
their march by Worshipful Grand
Marshal Louis H. Fead. Behind the
Grand officers came the Past Grand
Masters and at a short distance fol-
lowed Governor Osborn, accompanied
by Past Grand Master John j. Carton.
When the officers had gained the
platform, Right Worshipful Grand
Chaplain r. W. Gallagher, according
to Masonic custom, invoked the
blessing of the deity. After the in
vocation the Wright quartet sang,
1.-The Boys of the Old Brigade" The
beautiful prayer and singing put the
vast assembly of over twelve hundred
people in a mood to enter into the
spirit of the ceremony Of the dedi-
cation.
The dedication of the Home began
with the report of Past Grand Master
G. Roscoe Swift, who gave a history
Of the Michigan Masonic Home from
its beginning up to the present day.
When Mr.. Swift concluded his re-
marks, the Grand Officers and Past
Masters Joined in circle around
the altar. When Grand Master Dill
lon had poured from their vessels
corn wine and OIL the symbols OF
plenty, JOY and benevolence. and the
dedicatory prayer had been pro
nounced, the Home was proclaimed
dedicated to it's holy work.
At the conclusion Of the prayer the
Grand Officers and Past Masters
again took their seats upon the plat
form. Grand Master Dillon arose and
in we'll chosen remarks thanked the
Board of Control for their work and
the excellent progress of the Home.
In such good hands had the manage
ment of the Home been that the
