ated.

Stella McCray, Colored was
stabbed and mortslIy wounded by
Grace Criley. another woman dur
ing quarrel At Md. City. about
s.: 30 Saturday night. She died
oae hour later from the effects oil
the wounds.
Both were intoxicated at the
time. and il is believed that the
whole trouble was the result OF a
drunkea row. a large crowd
gathered sronnd the women. but
little Information as to the cause
oi the trouble could be gotten from
any OF tncm. All oil onsookers
denied asy kao Wedge eithe trou-
bic exceps thas the two women
were drinking when the row start
ed.
The McCray woman was stab
bed three times in the chest and
body. and IL bystanders had not
separated the women when they
did. both might have been killed
as both had knives and we're stab
bing al one another. The criley
woman had several bad cuts about
the face and head. but none OF her
wounds were OF dangerous nat
ure. however. and she was locked
up. after the doctor had dressed
her wounds.
Statement from both women
were conflicting. both accusing
the other OF being the instigator
OF the trouble. The fact that both
were intoxicated. lead to the be-
lief that tronble started over some
minor difficulty.
The Criley woman made no at
tempt to escape. following the
crime 1t is not known what kind
OF defense she will make. and until
the facts are brought out at the
trial. very little about the origin
OF the trouble will be known. No
one seemed TO know OF any prev
ious trouble between the two wo-
men. and it is therefore. consider
ed very likely that the trouble
originated in drunken brawl.-

LADIES! DARKEN
YOUR GRAY HAIR
Use Grandma's Sage Tea and
Sulphur Recipe and Noby
will Know.

The use Of Sage and Sulphur for re-
storing faded, gray hair to Its nat
ural color dates back to grandmoth-
ers time. She used 1t to keep her
hair beautifully dark. glossy and at
tractive. Whenever her hair took on
that dull, faded or streaked appear
ance. this simple MIXTURE was applied
with wonderful effect.
But brewing at home Is mussy and
out-of-date. Nowadays. by asking at
any drug store for so cent bottle of
"Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com
pound" you will get this famous old
preparation, improved by the addi-
ton Of other ingredients, which can
be depended upon to restore natural
color and beauty to the hair.
A wellknown downtown druggist
says 1t darkens the hair SO naturally
and evenly that nobody can tell it has
been applied. You simply dampen a
sponge or soft brush with 1t and draw
this through your hair, taking one
strand at a time. By morning the
gray hair disappears, and after an
other application or two, it becomes
beautifully dark and glossy.
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com
pound is a delightful toilet requisite
for those who desire more youth
full appearance. 1t is not intended
for the cure. mitigation or prevention

NEW YORK, April 27-In West
Fortieth street. there Is row OF d.
lapidated frame house which for
years have been an eyesore. No. 121
was formerly the celebrated boarding
house for thieves. It Is to be torn
down shortly for new building. but
II its walls had ears some strange
tales OF the underworld OF twenty
years ago could be revived.
The building sheltered the' very
aristocracy OF contemporary crime
and the respectable people all about
It or the owners never dreamed Of
the character OF the Inhabitants. The
keeper Of the boarding house was
Mag Conley wife Of old Bill Conley.
a noted criminal In many branches
OF calling. He specialized. however,
as hotel thief.
There was no lock in his day that
he could not manipulate. Among
those who boarded with Mag Conley
were English Charley Allen, who
came from good Cincinnati parents:
Tommy Bigelow, the bank thief. and
Cluts Donohue. the pickpocket. Mag
Conley was badger worker.
The badger game is a form Of
criminal operation still in existence
but rarely getting into the newspa-
pers. for the reason that its victims
almost invariably are too thoroughly
ashamed OF themselves to complain.
The police say that at times the little
boarding house sheltered 200 crooms
the cream OF the profession. There
never was n raid there.

1t has ben discovered that Shakes
peare would have been poor writer
for the movies. In fact almost any
scenario editor would have taken one
look at his manuscript and tipped 1t
back by the next mail.
or course, the reason for this Ia
that he was not aware OF the photo
graphic possibilities when he wrote
his works. That Is true is evidenced
by the announcement that +. H.
Sothern. who has decided to go into
the movies for arts sake, would not

A boxing bear is the newest en-

The club is the one time stable OF
Mrs. Cornelius Vanderbilt. which has
been converted into spacious ball
called the Club de Vingt," the men,
bership has increased to 500.
The hoi polli are barred. The
chief entertainers are Lloyd Tanning
and Mile. Perot, formerly of the
Cafe de Paris in Paris and the Villa
Rode at Petrograd. The big bear
which dances. wrestles and skates is
named Mephisto.

Down on Sixth avenue there Is a
dog dealer who understands the
psychology of craftsmanship. Each
day he puts dozen or so dogs OF
different breeds in his show window.
The crowds are, of course attracted.
They watch the capers of the puppies
and in the course OF day two or
three are attracted to the CANNES
through pity.
They buy the dogs for themselves
or for their friends-but the main
Idea Is to get the dog out OF the win

to sell at least one dog day to some
pedestrian who admits he feels sorry
for the pup.

has been opened. In the window are

sum OF 500 each and the cheapest
