We have inaugurated this day
sale of Black, Colorcd and Fancy
Silks on a large and bolder scale than
has ever heretofore been attempted
by any house in this city. Ladies
who desire to purchase truly rich

take the earliest opportunity Of ex-

Mrs. Schondler's brain, killing ber almost
instantly, and shot his wife through the left
breast, infIicting mortal wound. He then
let the house, but was arrested a few min
utes later and locked up. Mrs. Baber. who
was very weak from the effects OF the IN
jury she received, was extremely reticent,
and would give no particulars OF the affair
or tell what the quarrel between her and
her husband was about. She was sent to
the hospital. -"


Babcr has made statement since his ar-
rest to the effect that he formerly lived in
Richmond Va; that the young woman he
shot tonight is not bis wife, but he has
lived With ier.as such, off .and Dn, several
years; that he wished to marry her, but the
old woman (6er mother) would not consent;
that the old woman forced her daughter to
prostitute herself for money as source OF
revenue, and that she was vicious and vile !;


that when he left the house few days ago
it was in consequence Of quarrel with
Mrs. Schondler about her daughter, he
wishing to marry the latter, but the
old woman refusing to give her con-
sent; that he went TO the house tonight
under the impression and believing that

We publish this morning q special dispatch
to THE TRIBUNE from San Francisco giving
in full The Chronicles statement of the quar-
rel between De Young and Kalloch. The
principal point made is denial that Kalloch
was incensed by an attack on his own father
to slander the mother of De Young. lt is
claimed that the organ of the Wogkingmen's
party, of which Kalloch is the ostensible
editor. threatened to publish the charge
against the De Young family week be-
fore the statement about Kalloch's father was
published, or had been received at The
Chronicle Office. 1t is also claimed that the
original author of the charge against the
De Young family had retracted it in an
affidavit, and had informed KallOch that he
had done so. In excuse for publishing the
charge against Kallochs father, it is stated
that the dispatch containing it arrived in The
Chronicle Office so late at night that 1t was
only hurredly read by the night editor, and
was not seen by Mr.. De Young till it appeared
in the paper.

space of time our earth will get
colder and colder, in proportion
as the solar heat shall diminish.
The ice will advance from the
poles to the equator; the earth's
population will gradually recede
before the advancing glaciers;
the sun will become less and less
luminous until he will present the
appearance Of a dark red ball,
and finally ice will annihilate all

young woman from Vassar College

quite sufficient evidence 70 sustain the
prevailing impression that young
woman had rather elope, and thus sur
round herself with lot of romance,
than get married in the ordinary way.
All weddings are alike, and a girl who
has been brought up on the kind Of
novels which the average girl most
delights to read has an insurmounta-
BILE prejudice against allowing herself
to 60 off without something sensational
about the affair. She has an idea that
she won't get a chance to be married
more than once, and 80 shc exerts all
her ingenuity TO make the most of IL.
She will even go TO the trouble OF
walking up three fights Of stairs for
the pleasure of letting herself out OF
the fourth-story window by a rope, or
sliding down ladder, or reaching the
ground in some equally exciting way.
If the house were on fire and these the
only means Of escape, she would burn
up before she would employ them.
There was no earthly reason why the
Vassar girl should have run away 10

girl always gives for everything--"oh,
because" Neither the parents of the
immature girl nor those of the imma.
ture boy whom she married had any
