THE BERTINE ASSAULT. Inability to Identify Prisoners at Police Headqti1a.-Lers. NEW YORK, Oct. 30.—The three men who were arrested by central office detect- ives on the supposition that they might be the highwaymen who yesterday at- tempted to rob .T.,H; Bertine and his daughter when near their home in Pel- ham Manor were arraigned today in the Yorkville police court and remanded. The men said they were Joseph Arling- ton, Joseph Chambers and James Fergu- son. Before being taken to the police court they were photographed for. the rogues’ gallery. Detective Sergeants McDonough and Bheaume of the central office, who had the men in charge, told the story of their arrest to Magistrate Brann. They were on duty at the Grand Central station and had tracked the men from an Eighth ave- nue pawnshop, where one of them had pawned a diamond ring for $10. to the Grand Central station. There the men bought tickets for White Plains and were about to board a train when they were taken into custody. Each man carried two 38 caliber revolvers, and each had only one of the revolvers loaded. In the pocket done was found a blue cotton handkerchief, which might have been fashioned intoa burglar’s mask. There were holes in it for the eyes and an open- ing for the nose. Later Mr. Bertine and his daughter called at police headquarters. The three prisoners were brought before them, but the victims were unable to identify them as their assailants. The men were held until Mr. Bertine’s coachman could be summoned in order to see if he can iden- tify them. The police think that, owing to the fact that the road was dark at the time of the assault, it may be extremely difficult to identify the men even if they should be captured. PRIESTS 0N TRIAL The Charges Against Them Are Preferred .by Bishop Bonacum. =DUBUQUE, 13.. Oct. 30.——-The case of Bishop Bonacum of Nebraska against Fa- thers Murphy of Tecumseh and Fitzgerald of Au burn, both in that state. is called on trial in St. Joseph’s college. Hennessy is president of the court and one of the judges. The other judges are Bishop Messmer of Milwaukee and the Rev. Father Bare of Michigan. Father Fitzpatrick, adviser for the archbishop, is prosecuting the case. The defendants ap- pear in their own behalf. ' diocesan court which tried Bishop Bona- cum’s case against Father Corbett. This court found for Corbett, and Bishop Bon- acum turned against them, preferring charges, for which be expelled them. They ignored the expulsion, and Bishop Bonacum’s efforts to remove them from their rectorships failed. They appealed to Rome from the findings of Bishop Bona- cum’s diocesan court, and the case was sent to Dubuque for trial last July, but was postponed. In the meantime Arch- bishop Hennessy proposed a settlement, which the priests refused to accept. The defendants deny the archbishop’s jurisdiction on the ground that the indefi- nite postponement of the case last July was in effect an adjudication of the arise. The trial is according to canon law, and none but those connected with the case is per- mitted to enter. It is one of the most im— portant cases in the history of the Cath- olic church in the west.

IS ON. is heTlM To Subscribe for the "for $I.OO a Year An Invention Adopted to Restore Beauty. Of all heroic and agonizing devices for‘flispersing the traces of age and care, altogether the newest and most extreme is the leather complexion mask which is now in vogue in New York. The mask is an annihilator of wrinkles, a restorer of fair and smooth complexions, and altogether the most extraordinary affair that has found its way into a society woman‘s bou- doir for many a long day. Good results'are assured by the del- icate nicety with which the mask is constructed. While the exterior is of firm leather, the interior is Of soft white kid. It has itself no bumps or imperfections, and its pressure upon the skin is gentle and uniform. At the same time it is unyielding, and the wrinkle or furrow that could withstand nightly contact with the complexion mask for a month would be a wrinkle of the utmost hardihood and persistent-y. In a conflict be- tween a determined wrinkle and a leather mask it is safe always to lay one’s wager on the mask. Bleaching the Teeth. Now they bleach teeth. 80 there is no reason why an otherwise pretty girl's smile should not reveal a row of pearls. Her teeth, however black, may be bleached to perfect whiteness. The stuff used to bleach is not in the least injurious. It is called “py- rezone.” When a tooth is being bleached it is treated to prevent any possible in- jury to it. In some cases, where noth- ing but a blackened stumpremains Of a once pearly incisor, the stump is first bleached, then a porcelain front is deftly fitted to it, and the black is built up with gold. Thus one may have a fine new tooth solidly set in the jaw, and probably more perfect than the original. Sometimes a whole row of teeth are thus treated. Sealskins and Substitutes. Electric seal is nothing more than the skin of the ordinary French tame rabbit scientifically treated. The skins are first dressed to obtain pli- ability and softness, the coat after- ward passing under a machine Of ex- traordinary delicacy, which shears down all the stronger and coarser hairs, giving at ‘the same time a 'soft- ness and “flow” to what is left. The dyeing is skilfully managed to give artificial gradations of golden brown under the surface. while the final stage of manipulation is assisted by electricity, really marvelous machin- ery, removing any undesirably stiff hairs that may have been left by the first machine. It is curious that only the skin of the domestic rabbit can be so treated. HOUSEHOLD HINTS. When clothing has acquired a close, unpleasant odor ' from being packed away where the air cannot reach it, a few pieces of charcoal laid among the folds will soon remove the odor. In making a salad of fish, if you add a little cucumber pickle, chopped very fine, to the dish before the dressing is poured over, you will greatly improve it. When the whites of eggs are used, and the yolks are not required at the same time, drop the yolks into a small cup ,or glass, cover the surface with a little cold water and keep in a cool place. After ciderdown comforters have been used for a time they lose their lightness. Hang such comforters over a line in a strong wind for a few hours and give them a good heating with a rattan. This will give them renewed life. In removing stains or grease Spots from delicate colored materials the cleaning mixture should be applied in a circle aroundthe spot and should be worked toward the centre. Then sponge the place with a clean flannel and rub until dry. If whipped cream is wanted quickly, and there is no whip churn, have the cream very cold,'and put it in a glass fruit jaP with an air-tight cover. Half fill the jar with the cream, fasten the cover tightly and shake the 'jar vigor- ously. To make one's own extract of va- nilla, secure five Tonquin beans and one vanilla bean, clip them and put them into a bottle with ten ounces of alcohol, six ounces of water, and three of sugar. Let the mixture remain from six to eight weeks, shaking it frequently; then strain and it is ready to use. - An old-fashioned but a good way of testing the heat of an oven for baking cake is to put a piece of white paper on the oven grate, CIOSe the door, and let it remain five minutes. The paper will be a light brown in color if the oven is moderately hot, but if the paper is yel- low the oven is cool.» Most cakes re- quire a moderately hot oven, and some, such as sponge cake or cake without butter, require a cool oven at first. Housekéepers desirous of making their own baking powder can do so with very little trouble. The follow. ing formula is one that has been used for many years. Weigh six ounces of flour and thOroughly dry it, without browning it, in the oven. Procure six ounces of the best soda and thirteen and one-half ounces of cream of tar- tar. Add them 1.; the dry flour and rub» together half a dozen ”times through a sieve, then put them’ in air- tight jars or cans and keep in a. dark closet, using the powder from a small jar so that it will retain its strength. .0. ~:- . ’ .,_... . .-.-._...__... .._._-._. —-..—. u..A~—~_—M.— Scams Bitytle Such grace of desgz‘. d» _ s. o is handsome, light, dare. is. is embodied in this “fast, easy-running, .. och—:- ‘1 about ” mount can only be secured by tir‘ approved methods, finest material and skilled war:~ manship.', The ’96 Stcarns is the best bicycgit is ssible to- producc.
