Left Eye Shot Out.

Mr.. Isidore Ussery, young man
21 years of age, will lose his left eye
as result of being shot with a rifle
in the hands of one of his compan-
ions with whom he was shooting fish
near his home in Elko, S. c., Satur-
day morning.
The story of young Ussery is that
he, together with several of his
friends, was out fishing, and they
were shooting fish with their rifles.
He says that he had shot and wound
ed a fish of extraordinary size, and
had jumped into the water to capture
it when his companions evidently be-
came excited at the thought that the
fish would get away, and shot at it
again.
The shot struck young Ussery in
the left temple, passed through his
left eye, and made it's exit just below
the right cheek bone. The attend
ing physician attributes the consci-
BUSINESS of the young man to the fact
that the ball, which was of 38-caliber
from rifle, never touched the brain.
An operation was performed upon
the young man Monday morning.
His condition is not considered dan
gerous, but the wound is necessarily
painful.

without being recognized as sleuth.
But week went by and could find
no trace of my quarry. I was begin
ming to feel nervous, and blamed my
self for not taking a chance and find
ing out the contents of that letter.
But was soon reassured. A letter
came from my chef bearing the good
news that the young woman who was
still under watch had received an
other communication from Corey,
and that also was postmarked Chi
cago.
Still I was baf1ed. Two weeks
elapsed, and it began to look as If

empty handed. There was no trace
of Coffey.
Then happened one of the most
unusual and thrilling experiences of
my life.
I was reclining in barber'schair
in Wabash-avenue shop. 1t is GER
tainly true that I was very down in
the mouth The barber had covered
my face with lather and was strop-
ping his razor when / happened to
raise up slightly and glance in the
mirror.
To my dying day shall never for
get what saw in the glass. Coming
down the steps into the shop, hardly
six or seven feet away from my chair,
was Edward Coffey.
had to use all my wits in twink
ling. To have jumped up and tried
to capture him would have been sui
cidal. Coffey would have fired before
1 could have drawn my revolver. I
realized that in an instant, and sank
back to my reclining position. All
the chairs in the shop were occupied,
and the head barber motioned to Cof-
fey to sit down and await his turn.
The lather on my face would keep
Coffey from recognizing me.
My shave was finished. But when
I would be obliged to stand I knew
it was only a question of who would
be able to fire first and shoot straight
est.
But formed a plan swiftly. While
the barber was busy with his razor I
managed to transfer my revolver
from my hip pocket to my right-hand
side pocket. Then I whispered to
him.
"See that man over there?" I said,
describing the robber. "Call him
over. He's friend of mine.''
Coffey was off his guard. The bar
ber motioned to him and he walked
slowly toward my chair. 1t took only
moment, but it seemed like hours.
At last he was standing by my chair.
In the wink of an eye I had whipped
out my gun and pressed it against
his stomach.
"Coffey, I've got you I cried. "If
you don't put up your hands you're
a dead man."
"Roger. O'Mara!" he cried. He was
petrified with astonishment. In an
other second had slipped the n1ppers
on him and had him secure. The
surprise was so great that the des-
perado had not been able to act

THAW TAKES STAND IN HIS
DESPERATE BATTLE
Coaticook, Que, Sept. Ain the
last desperate battle to escape de-
portation, Harry K Thaw is on the
witness stand before a special board
of inquiry of the immigration depart
ment. ,
The ruling of Judge Hutchinson
that freed Thaw from the little
prison in Sherbrook gave Jerome
decisive victory and placed the lun-
atic's disposition in the hands of the
immigration authorities.
This morning the Matteawan fugi-
tive told for the first time of the
route he had taken after his escape.
He claimed his original intention
was to get to Pittsburgh, and that he
had purchased ticket to Rochester,

Whitefeld, N. H., but learned that

At, the conclusion of the story he
was taken in charge by Doctors Burd
and Beauchamp, medical officers of
the dominion, who will rule as to his
sanity.
If it is their decision that he is still
insane, he will be taken to Vermont
and placed in the hands of the sheriff
waiting to receive him. 1t is rumored
that Jerome may take him away from
the Vermont authorities and rush
him through to New York because of
Thaw's boast that the editorials he
has published in Vermont have made
the people favorable to him.

\VSAS there ever such a gorgeous
w display of flowers and gowns as
seen at Annie Lee McKenzie's
wedding Wednesday night? No one
could ever count the Easter lilies and
American Beauty roses used on the
stairway or the roses garlanded about
the ceiling and side walls, forming a
trelliswork of flowers in the library
where the ceremony took place. How
unusual was the circular-shaped
brides table, with a miniature sunken
garden in the center, In which were
growing real orchids! When / first
saw the multitude of lavender pink
trumpets ! thought what a sin to cut
so many handsome flowers for just
one occasion; then as ] looked closer
| realized that the garden had been
planted especially for this favored
time many months ago. From the CEN
ter rose a standard upon which was
placed a silver loving cup holding the
farnalian fern, so feathery and soft,
interspersed with orchids and lilies of
the valley. The entire wedding sup
per was served from silver service
plates, and everywhere beamed refiec-
tions from bright mirrors partially
yelled with pink begonias.
The brides wedding gown was
Lucille model, and was most becom-
ingly fashioned of chiffon and seed
pearls, no lace being used to mar the
simple yet elegant effect. She wore
the veil over her face, as l noticed
many of the brides have done this
season.

The stylish couture does not dis
close the ears in the old way of two
years ago, when the ears were to be

but fashion goes a step further and
gives us this effect: The couture be-
ing worn in Paris has the hair very
evenly done in large, loose waves,
drawn smoothly back from the fore
head and temples, without the slight
est tendency to a pompadour and
generally shows the lobe of the ear.
The curls, which form a decided
change in this arrangement of the
coiffure, are to be in front of the
ear and hand in a corkscrew effect.
There Is positively no suggestion of a
curl to give relief across the fore
head It is the smartest coiffure
which wears the curl or curls in
front Of the ear these days and ex-
poses the lobe, which usually holds
some wonderful jewel. This pro-
nounced change was forecast in
