The door was broken open and the girl found —tlyingon the floor in a corner of the reom, with blood streaming from a wound in her left side. By her side lay a 38-caliber pistol of the Marlin make. It was fouud that the bullet had entered the left breast about two inches below and a little to the left of the nipple and passed enspine. \1t passed just below the heart, and apparently did not penetrate the lungs, so there is a possibility that she may recover. The wounded girl informed Officer Logue that she had written a letter to her mother, which would explain her reasons for taking her own life, but further than that she refused to say anything. She was in great pain at first, but Monday morning was resting quietly under the influence of an opiate.

A Successful Presentation Charming New Play. A large and happy audience ; a réivovated of a glowed with the warmth of lavish and elaborate frescoing;.a rich new drop-ourtain with & remodeled proscenium ; new scenic accessories painted with full regard for ing the paucity of it ; and“last and greatest a well-balanced and conscientious sombination of play-actors having in hand a bright and intensely interesting story of home life down.'among, the Missourians of County Pike, served to maké'last night’s performance at the Theater one of the most satis~ factory witnessed here in many a day. The plot of “‘The County Sheriff’ was detailed in these colu rna yesterday. It isa realistic story that goes straight to the heart of the auditor because it deals in the main with the‘unconsidered trifles’-familiar to the every-day life of most men and women. It has the vivid and often amusing colloquialisms and methods of Pike, but the characters always keep pace with the march of civilization. : The troupe of twelve people is in most parts strong. Mr. Hosmer has improved since he was here before (some three years ago) until he is now fairly entitled, to rank as one of the best romantic actors ‘that has come this way at any time. His performance last evening was a powerful one ef a quaint and attractive part, but at no time did-he, even in the most sensational climaxes, permit it to lapse into the exaggerations that so frequently mar characterizations of this class. That his artistic work met with full appreciation was evidenced by the enthusiasti¢ and long-continued applause that frequently greeted him. Miss Ross was very effective and attractive as the elder daughter of the village blacksmith, and brought out in sharp contrast the elements of waywardness and lovalleness which in their turn swayed. her, The—rest of th® people, with perhaps three exceptions, gave performances equal to the best seen here in several years. The strictest regard was paid to every detail, There was the completely furnished kitchen; the blacksmith shop with all the practical arrangements of one doing a regular business, the thrilling escape of the fugitive train-robber on-a real flesh and blood horse—which dashed across the scene hke mad, and a thousand and one other things that went to make up a realistic and thrilling entertainment, There-are in the company some fine sing= ers and dancers of the vaudeville school, and they-made great hits last evening in their specialties, Tonight will be given Frank Mayo's remantic five-act idyl, ‘Davy Crockett.’’. lh is one of the most beautiful and eventful o1 all purely American plays, and has, like “Unels Tom's Cibiu,” enjoyed «length of life and popularity that is simply phenomenal, It will be given tonight with the full atrength of the company, and everything possible will be done in-the way of scenic effects. Mr, Hosmer has in the role of the intrepid frontiersman whose-name is given to the play one of his most inspiring and winning persenations. Miss Ross will appear as ‘‘Eleanor Vaughn,’’ a part well suited to her, None of our citizens whe appreciate a fine play well played should stay away from the ‘Theater tonight. In addition to the regular dramatic treat, there will be an olio ot specialties by some of the support. CURLY BEAR COMICALITIES. The Cubs Going to Try Their Hands “at Minstrelisy.

AA Immensé Perspective Unequaled in Any Other City In the World—The Champs Elysees, the Loveliest fhorough: fare In Paris—Wonderful Gardons. There are not less than 126,000 trees out including those which are found in private gardens, so vast and numerous in certain aristocratic quarters, nor those And note this further fact that outside the public ways there exists in this city, in the form of parks, gardens and public squares, a total service of about 8,000 acres. Beside trees, there are plants and flowers throughout the town, When it is time for Paris to take off her winter toilet and make her appearance in spring attire, it takes nearly 600,000 flower plants, distributed by hundreds of gardeners and their_assistants._The total toilet of this town at one time is about ,000,000. The nurseries which produce city. In the Bois de Boulogne, near-the race course of Longchamp, are the nursery grounds of trees with caducous leaves. At Auteuil, on the road to the village of Boulogne, in a sandy soil, excellent for their propagation, are placed a collection of resinous trees, plants with persistent leaves and heath mold plants. On thé banks of the river Marne, ata village called Petit Buy, the plane trees that are planted along the boulevards are cultivated, and finally, out at Vinthe fortifidations, a large assignment of land is reserved for ornamental plants, The central establishment is near La Muette, out at Passy. It is one of the most considerable horticultural laboratories in the world, and has 80 conservatories. In some of these Parfs gardens there are 80 tnany diversities of plants that 1 dare not attempt to enumerate them. Without them, and the hundreds of thousands of others in Paris, many persons would bend over their daily labor and pass their lives without having had any other spectacle before their eyes than that of narrow streets or the sombre courtyard of tenement house, workshop and factory. I wish my readers could see Paris between the Louvre palace and the western end of the Bois de Boulogne, a distance of about five miles, and full of trees, They begin with two pretty little garden spots in a narrow open space )etween those wings of the Louvre that are occupied on one side by the ministry of finances, on the other by the National gallery. Then comes a short, bare space, badly paved with great blocks of stone and called the Place du Caroussel. Beyond its small arch of triumph that. Napoleon once topped with booty from the Vatican begin the gardens of the TuilHere there are orange trees in immense wooded tubs painted green, and there is almost no grass at all, At its beginning is a part of the Jardin des Tuileries, which was only opened to the public in 1889, and it covers the ground where once stood the palace. Thence, seen through trees, through marble.statutes and statuary of many kinds, an immense perspective slowly rises and gloriously terminates with the Arc de Triomphe. The details are ravishing, the ensemble ig» of unequaled grace and grandeur; ‘no’ other city on earth can show its like. West of the Tuileries gardens ia. the grand-open.space.known.as the Place de la Concorde, and after tha¥ comes the Champs Elysees, an elysian field’ where wide belts of varied shrubs are encircled with: choicest” flowers, where the grass spreads widely out here and there, and where great clumps of rhododendrons and lofty trees shroud buildings that are occupied as cafe concerts, restaurants, dioramas, a circus and the Palais de . ’Industrie. The Champs-Elysees was thus laid out in 1860, but the work were so well done that it looks as if they were always thus established. This garden park of street and public garden finishes at the Rond point, a circular open space, where seyeral streets cross, and where there are fountains, beds of flowers and rich manand there a grocery, a carriage storethe aristocratic bearing of the loveliest thoroughfare in Paris. On either side of the roadway stretches a row of trees, and these, turning around the arch of triumph, continue their way down the Avenue du Bois de Boulogne, which leads to the park of that name. It is a thoroughfare that grandly shows to what beauty avenue gardening can be brought, It was made entirely through private land, half the expenses being borne by the state on condition “as to be constructed along the whole length of the road; that a strip of about 60 feet in breadth be left for the gardens between this railing and the main road, and, further, that no kind of trade or any of the buildings adjoining. The total length of the Avenge du Bois de Boulogne is 1,350 yards, and-its width is 150. It consists of a central roadway 125 feet wide, of two asphalt sidewalks each 40 feet wide, of a ‘rotten row” for horseback riders, of two long pieces of garden with grass, shrubs, trees and flowers and of two bordering roads in front of the private residences. I cannot begin to tell you of all of the beauties of trees and shrubs and plants . which Paris can boast of, much less can I describe in full those other promenades called the Bois de Vincennes, the garden of the Buttes Chaumont,.the Parc de Montsouris, ete, In all, Paria possesses 6 parks, 44 squares and 87 gardens,— Boston Herald, cranenomnnoiety PREVENTION is’better than cure, aud you may prevent that tured feeling Ly taking Hood’s Sarsaparilla, which will keep your blood pure and free from acid taint and germs of disease. ————— but act~ promptly, easily and efficiently number of plants often employed for the . , them are situated in various parts of the . ~ cefines, near the barrier and-just beyond . that an iron railing of uniform design } manufacturing should be carried on in‘ Hoop’s Piuts do not purge, pain or gripe, Saved Our Boy Statement ~ A Clergyman’s Constitutional Scrofula Entirely Cured, “O,.

Black marble from near North Bloomtield is shown. It takes a high polish, and looks like it ought to have commercial value, played. One very interesting petrifaction is a brook trout, six inches long, firmly imbedded in petrified wood. It was 100 feet underground, The showing of auriferous gravel from Nevada City, North Bloomfield and other places is not yet complete. Mention of the great gilded globe, designed to show the bulk of Nevada's gold output, should not be omitted. It occupies a central position in the exhibit, and from its size and color elicits a great deal of favorable comment, .

A Successful Presentation Charming New Play. A large and happy audience ; a réivovated of a glowed with the warmth of lavish and elaborate frescoing;.a rich new drop-ourtain with & remodeled proscenium ; new scenic accessories painted with full regard for ing the paucity of it ; and“last and greatest a well-balanced and conscientious sombination of play-actors having in hand a bright and intensely interesting story of home life down.'among, the Missourians of County Pike, served to maké'last night’s performance at the Theater one of the most satis~ factory witnessed here in many a day. The plot of “‘The County Sheriff’ was detailed in these colu rna yesterday. It isa realistic story that goes straight to the heart of the auditor because it deals in the main with the‘unconsidered trifles’-familiar to the every-day life of most men and women. It has the vivid and often amusing colloquialisms and methods of Pike, but the characters always keep pace with the march of civilization. : The troupe of twelve people is in most parts strong. Mr. Hosmer has improved since he was here before (some three years ago) until he is now fairly entitled, to rank as one of the best romantic actors ‘that has come this way at any time. His performance last evening was a powerful one ef a quaint and attractive part, but at no time did-he, even in the most sensational climaxes, permit it to lapse into the exaggerations that so frequently mar characterizations of this class. That his artistic work met with full appreciation was evidenced by the enthusiasti¢ and long-continued applause that frequently greeted him. Miss Ross was very effective and attractive as the elder daughter of the village blacksmith, and brought out in sharp contrast the elements of waywardness and lovalleness which in their turn swayed. her, The—rest of th® people, with perhaps three exceptions, gave performances equal to the best seen here in several years. The strictest regard was paid to every detail, There was the completely furnished kitchen; the blacksmith shop with all the practical arrangements of one doing a regular business, the thrilling escape of the fugitive train-robber on-a real flesh and blood horse—which dashed across the scene hke mad, and a thousand and one other things that went to make up a realistic and thrilling entertainment, There-are in the company some fine sing= ers and dancers of the vaudeville school, and they-made great hits last evening in their specialties, Tonight will be given Frank Mayo's remantic five-act idyl, ‘Davy Crockett.’’. lh is one of the most beautiful and eventful o1 all purely American plays, and has, like “Unels Tom's Cibiu,” enjoyed «length of life and popularity that is simply phenomenal, It will be given tonight with the full atrength of the company, and everything possible will be done in-the way of scenic effects. Mr, Hosmer has in the role of the intrepid frontiersman whose-name is given to the play one of his most inspiring and winning persenations. Miss Ross will appear as ‘‘Eleanor Vaughn,’’ a part well suited to her, None of our citizens whe appreciate a fine play well played should stay away from the ‘Theater tonight. In addition to the regular dramatic treat, there will be an olio ot specialties by some of the support. CURLY BEAR COMICALITIES. The Cubs Going to Try Their Hands “at Minstrelisy.

AA Immensé Perspective Unequaled in Any Other City In the World—The Champs Elysees, the Loveliest fhorough: fare In Paris—Wonderful Gardons. There are not less than 126,000 trees out including those which are found in private gardens, so vast and numerous in certain aristocratic quarters, nor those And note this further fact that outside the public ways there exists in this city, in the form of parks, gardens and public squares, a total service of about 8,000 acres. Beside trees, there are plants and flowers throughout the town, When it is time for Paris to take off her winter toilet and make her appearance in spring attire, it takes nearly 600,000 flower plants, distributed by hundreds of gardeners and their_assistants._The total toilet of this town at one time is about ,000,000. The nurseries which produce city. In the Bois de Boulogne, near-the race course of Longchamp, are the nursery grounds of trees with caducous leaves. At Auteuil, on the road to the village of Boulogne, in a sandy soil, excellent for their propagation, are placed a collection of resinous trees, plants with persistent leaves and heath mold plants. On thé banks of the river Marne, ata village called Petit Buy, the plane trees that are planted along the boulevards are cultivated, and finally, out at Vinthe fortifidations, a large assignment of land is reserved for ornamental plants, The central establishment is near La Muette, out at Passy. It is one of the most considerable horticultural laboratories in the world, and has 80 conservatories. In some of these Parfs gardens there are 80 tnany diversities of plants that 1 dare not attempt to enumerate them. Without them, and the hundreds of thousands of others in Paris, many persons would bend over their daily labor and pass their lives without having had any other spectacle before their eyes than that of narrow streets or the sombre courtyard of tenement house, workshop and factory. I wish my readers could see Paris between the Louvre palace and the western end of the Bois de Boulogne, a distance of about five miles, and full of trees, They begin with two pretty little garden spots in a narrow open space )etween those wings of the Louvre that are occupied on one side by the ministry of finances, on the other by the National gallery. Then comes a short, bare space, badly paved with great blocks of stone and called the Place du Caroussel. Beyond its small arch of triumph that. Napoleon once topped with booty from the Vatican begin the gardens of the TuilHere there are orange trees in immense wooded tubs painted green, and there is almost no grass at all, At its beginning is a part of the Jardin des Tuileries, which was only opened to the public in 1889, and it covers the ground where once stood the palace. Thence, seen through trees, through marble.statutes and statuary of many kinds, an immense perspective slowly rises and gloriously terminates with the Arc de Triomphe. The details are ravishing, the ensemble ig» of unequaled grace and grandeur; ‘no’ other city on earth can show its like. West of the Tuileries gardens ia. the grand-open.space.known.as the Place de la Concorde, and after tha¥ comes the Champs Elysees, an elysian field’ where wide belts of varied shrubs are encircled with: choicest” flowers, where the grass spreads widely out here and there, and where great clumps of rhododendrons and lofty trees shroud buildings that are occupied as cafe concerts, restaurants, dioramas, a circus and the Palais de . ’Industrie. The Champs-Elysees was thus laid out in 1860, but the work were so well done that it looks as if they were always thus established. This garden park of street and public garden finishes at the Rond point, a circular open space, where seyeral streets cross, and where there are fountains, beds of flowers and rich manand there a grocery, a carriage storethe aristocratic bearing of the loveliest thoroughfare in Paris. On either side of the roadway stretches a row of trees, and these, turning around the arch of triumph, continue their way down the Avenue du Bois de Boulogne, which leads to the park of that name. It is a thoroughfare that grandly shows to what beauty avenue gardening can be brought, It was made entirely through private land, half the expenses being borne by the state on condition “as to be constructed along the whole length of the road; that a strip of about 60 feet in breadth be left for the gardens between this railing and the main road, and, further, that no kind of trade or any of the buildings adjoining. The total length of the Avenge du Bois de Boulogne is 1,350 yards, and-its width is 150. It consists of a central roadway 125 feet wide, of two asphalt sidewalks each 40 feet wide, of a ‘rotten row” for horseback riders, of two long pieces of garden with grass, shrubs, trees and flowers and of two bordering roads in front of the private residences. I cannot begin to tell you of all of the beauties of trees and shrubs and plants . which Paris can boast of, much less can I describe in full those other promenades called the Bois de Vincennes, the garden of the Buttes Chaumont,.the Parc de Montsouris, ete, In all, Paria possesses 6 parks, 44 squares and 87 gardens,— Boston Herald, cranenomnnoiety PREVENTION is’better than cure, aud you may prevent that tured feeling Ly taking Hood’s Sarsaparilla, which will keep your blood pure and free from acid taint and germs of disease. ————— but act~ promptly, easily and efficiently number of plants often employed for the . , them are situated in various parts of the . ~ cefines, near the barrier and-just beyond . that an iron railing of uniform design } manufacturing should be carried on in‘ Hoop’s Piuts do not purge, pain or gripe, Saved Our Boy Statement ~ A Clergyman’s Constitutional Scrofula Entirely Cured, “O,.

When about six months old he took a sore mouth. ~ TF had two doc= tors but all to no benefit, Attheage of 11 months he breathed his last. Thus we laid Our Darling Chiid in the grave. On Aug. 4, 1891, another boy was born unto us. At the age of two months he became afflicted with the same disease, I believed the boy’s trouble was ‘constitutional, and not common sore mouth, I procured a bottle of Hood’s Sar-saparilla and commenced to give it regularly to both mother and baby, and occasionly washed his.-mouth with @ syrup of buck brush root.
