MURDER OR SUICIDE.
THE BODY OF A MAN FOUND TJNDEli
SUSPICIOUS CIRCUMSTANCES
Chicago. Last Thursday the body
of a man was found od the lake shore
Dear the foot of Diversity street. A
partly filled can of powder was beside
the body. The face was torn and
mangled, suggesting the probability
that tho man had filled his mouth with
powder and touched it off with a light
ed match, blowing away part of his
face.
In the pocket of his coat the officers
touad the following note : "Do not
send my body homo, a ry wife has
no money to bury it. Don't barv me
in a pauper's grave. I have been tired
of life for the last, two years, but have
lived for my baby's sake. lean no
longer live. I have no work and out
of money. This.wor'd is but a stage
and the curtain has rung down upon
one of its main scenes.

THE DUTY OF DRESSING WEL
T
A 4 m
It is every woman's duty to dress
just as richly as sne can afford, and
it is a gin against our artistic ad
vancement as a ration, for hr to
dress unbecomingly and with disre
gard for the niceties of the toilet
To say "I do not csre - anything
about dress." is equivalent to saying
"I do not care anything about a most
important branch of nrt development"
and is by no means evidence of
superior mental force. A "dowdy''
woman i9 n offense in the streets
ad unendurabla in the pnrlor. it is
not, the attention paid fo dr6ss that
sensible people-ought to object to,
bat the inattention to' proper combi
nation and harmonious ouchne.
