With a band OF pearl beads about
your head. long pearl ear drops and
two or three strands OF pearl beads
about your neck you can wear very
simple evening dress OF either black
or white yet present an individual
appearance that will make the girl
with diamonds look vulgar.
There Is nothing which makes the
flesh look prettier than pearls and as
there are no precious stones that are
initiated with better effect, almost
any girl can show of her fair skin
with a string of pearl beads.
During Queen Victoria's reign these
beautiful gems were not in fashion, as
Victoria was superstitious about them.
She called them frozen tears" and
declared they brought bad luck.
Few women would refuse a string
OF them today on that score. as they
are the most expensive as well as
the most fashionable of any precious
stone.

His makeup is awful beyond descrrp-
ton, his acting perfect. He suffocates,
screams, begs for death. His case Is
hopeless, and the doctor advises that
he be shot.
The doctor and the regimental ON
GERS confer. Many soldiers are raw

first stages. The doctor has found
out what has happened, and knows
that all who were vaccinated are

But these horrors are trifies COM

The principal figure Is a Russian

Great Loss at KumanOva.
Big Battle in Progress in a
Drenching Rain.

Sofia, Oct. 24.-Kirk-Kilisseh has
been captured by the Bulgarian army
which has been fighting against the
Turkish troops in the vicinity for sew
eral days. The possession of the for
tress opens the way to a Bulgarian
advance on Adrianople.
Turks Claim Victory.
Constantin Oct. 24-The Ser
Wan army operating near Kumanova
has been defeated by the Turkish
troops defending that town.
The Servians suffered enormou
losses, according to an official dis
patch from the commander-in-c chief of
the Turkish western army. The Tur-
kish troops are pursuing energetically.
The Servian army is believed to have
comprised four strong divisions.
Key to AdrianOple.
London, Oct. 24.-The Turkish for
tress of Kirk-Kilisseh has fallen, ac-
cording to a news agency dispatch from
Sofia. It is regarded as the key to
Adrianople and is the headQuart1@~ of
the Turkish third army corps COM

With the fall of Kirk-kiliSSeh the

officers who for many years have made
a specially of studying the Balkan
military preparations lean to the be-
lief that the Turkish army has been
holding the line between Adrlanople
and Kirk -Kilesseh with a covering
force estimated at about 10000 men
and that the main Ottoman army is
only just due on the scene. This might
account for the Turkish statement to-
day that something more definite will
be known by tonight, for with the ar

battle between the main forces of Bull
garians and Turks was resumed today
along the entire line between Adriano-
pie and Kirk-Kilisseh. Drenching
rain hindered the movement of the
troops.
Dispatches from Adrianople report
that the second division of the Bull
garian army crossed the frontier yes
terday. Its advance guard encounter
ed serious resistance and suffered
heavily, finally being compelled to fall
back.
Serious fighting is also reported
from Kadikeny to the south of Mus
tapha Pasha which ended in a victory
for the Turks.
The Ottoman government has de-
cided to increase the import duties
from II to IA per cent owing to the
requirements of the war.
