ANOTHER IDENTIFICATION.
Francis D. Day, of Brooklyn, Says
Remains Are Those of his Sister.

Francis D. Day, of Brooklyn, made
an affidavit at police headquarters
last night that the three pieces of a
woman's body found in the Hudson
river are parts of the body of his
sister, Miss Annette Day, %, years
old, who has been missing since Au-
gust s. He says he identified the torso
by birthmark on the left shoulder
According to the statement of Mr..
Day physician is involved. The po-
lice were seeking information con-
corning this physician, who was un-
derstood to have left his home in
Brooklyn recently for a journey
through the West.
Miss Annette Day had been an opc-
rator upon petticoats, he said. Oh
August 5 her mother, Mrs. Marietta
Day, took Annette to Tarrytown. The
young man would not tell the object
of that journey. On August s the
girl left Tarrytown and intended to
return home in Brooklyn. She never
reached there, and since then ncr rel
atives and friends have heard nothing
from her.
Mr.. Day told the police that Miss
Annette Day made the acquaintance
OF Brooklyn physician early last
spring, and had been with him to such
an extent that her family protested.
The physician later movef his family
to the West, it was said, but had been
back in New York in recent weeks.
Dispatches from Habana say that
Mrs. Lena .Eanin, said by her husband,
Casper, TO have been the victim, has
been discovered in that city with Vim
cent PANELS. They were found to-
gethcr in Habana street.

Fashion SHOW IS
BROUGHT IoEND
A BIG SUCCESS
Style Weeb Closed Last Night, Many
Out of Town People in the
City Yesterday.
MERCHANTS FAVOR HAVING
EVENT EACH SEASON

| Cairo's first Fall Fashion Show
closed last night after a most sue,
cessful week. the number OF out Of
town people attending yesterday be-
ing greater than any other day ex-
cept Tuesday, when the affair was
formally opened.
Tho idea proved such an induce
mcnt for visitors to come to the city
from nearby points and do their
shopping, that the merchants who
participated in the event are in
favor of putting on such an cxhi-
/ bition each spring and fall in sue
ceeding years.
The attendance during the week
came up tnBthe expectations and
as result of the show many new
customers from out of town were ad-
ded to the former list at each store
The volum of business transacted
during the five days is said to have
greatly exceeded that of any preced
ing season at all of the downtown
places
That the strangers in the city
were greatly impressed by the exhib-
its and displays was evidenced from
all sides. The merchants were com
plimented on their tempting arrays
| of merchandise and the beauty o.
their stores and windows for the oc-
casion by practically each visitor.
The merchants generally are in
favor of having some added amuse-
meut or attraction during their
fashion shows in the future, anG
especially during the fall. One mer-
chant declared last night that Cairo
should have county fair to go il
hand with the style week prorosi
tion
He stated that it would NEAR
much to this city If a fair associa
lion were organized and put on a
several days fair to include several
counties or the three states at this
point. Many more people would be
attracted to the city, he stated, in
this manner than by any fashion
show or style exhibit that could be
staged.
He cited instances at near by
places like Anna, Jonesboro, Marion,
Sikeston, Paducah, etc. where as
high as 10000 different people Wis
tied the city each day during the
fair,
Another thing he Is n favor o.
