So far as we can see every
department seems to have its
full quota of admirers—de-
pends upon what one is most
in need of, probably. The
men-folk appear to be taken
with the whole display; en-
joy everything, it is so novel
and entertaining. The wom-
en-folk, bless their dear hearts,
are everywhere; know just
where to go, where to look,
and what is best to buy.
Dress Goods, as the expres-
sion goes, are “in it for fair ”
——fair week, fair prices, fairest
of colorings and downright
good values.
Lace Curtains and Drape:
ries receive much greater at-
tention than we anticipated—
their reputation has evidently
preceded them.
Carpets and Mattings, al-
though too bulky and cum-
bersome ,for a dainty Easter
display, possess a value that
everyone appreciates. Some
folks think of that. Result:
we’ve fewer now than we had
at the beginning of the week.
More coming, though.

W. H. T. Durant Has Been Arrested
Charged With the Crimes.
DEGLARES HIS quocruer.
Durant Was Taken Into Custody In His
Regimentais’ and- Subjected to 3
Searching Examination—Possi-
ble Points In His Favor.
SAN FRANCISCO. April 16. —The arrest
of W. "H. T. Durant for the murder of the
two girls whose bodies were found in the
Emanuel Baptist church was made by De-
tective Anthony, who met Durant and his
companions coming back from Mount Di-
ablo. They were in uniform and had been
on a signaling expedition.
When Durant was placed under arrest,
his companions at iirStwanted to resist
the officer, but finally suffered him to be
taken to Walnut Creek, where the officer
and Durant boarded a train for San Fran-
cisco. ~When they arrived at the prison,
Durant, in his regimentals. was taken to
the chief office and subjected to a search-
ing examination. He was very cool, and
even when arrested by Anthony and told
that Miss Lamont’s body had been found
he did not lose his nerve, although he ap-
peared greatly shocked. After the exami-
nation by the chief, Durant was taken to
a cell. where he was joined by his parents
and a lawyer. He made the following
statement:
“The last time I met Miss Lamont was
on the morning of the day she disappear-
ed. We talked about books, and I promised
to bring a book for her to prayer meeting
that night. Miss Lamont did not come to
the meeting, and the following day, Fri-
day, I took the book to her house and
gaVe it to her sister. The latter told me
Blanche had gone to school, evidently try-
ing to keep the fact of her disappearance
secret. That is all I know of the Lamont
case. The last time I saw Minnie Wil-
liams was three weeks ago. ”
Durant’s Explanation.
When confronted by the evidence that
Miss Williams’ purse . had been found in
his pocket, Durant gave the following ex-
planation: » g
“I was going from the meeting at V0-
gel’s Friday night when my foot struck a
small object on the sidewalk. I picked it
up and found it was a small mirror. Near
by was a purse, 'which I also picked up. I
took both home, with the intention to tell
my folks of the find. It was late, how—
ever, and I went right to bed. In the morn-
ing I was in a hurry to get away with the
signal corps and forgot all about it. ”
The police take exceptions to Durant’s
statement that he had not seen Miss Wil-
liams for three weeks. . They say they can
or Tuesday and possibly later.
From all appearances Miss Lamont was
not murdered in the room where her body
was found. The body had been dragged
to the belfry stairs and into the lower
room. Her clothing was found stuffed
into various corners of the room.
About the time that Miss Lamont’s body
was found the congregation of Emanuel
church were on their way to attend Eas-
ter service. When they arrived and learn-
ed of the frightful crime, they fled horror
stricken from the place. The church was
locked and guarded all day. *
In his statement at police headquarters
the Rev. Dr. Gibson asserts his belief in
Durant’s innocence, but is unable to offer
any theory as to the guilty party. This
much can be said for Durant—he did not
act like a guilty man when arrested, and
his preparations to leave were made with-
out concealment before the murder of
Miss Williams. Even the police are forced
to admit it seems incredible that he would
commit such a crime unless afflicted with
a mania for that sort of work. No charge
has been made against Durant. ‘

LONDON, April 16.—Frank Taylor,
alias Tarbo, one of the leaders of the no-

DAVIS HAS BEEN CAPTURED.
Last of the Escaped Convicts, Except
Perry, Taken at \Vappinger Falls.
Authorities Surprised at Ma- I
guir‘e’s Quiet Surrender.
POUGHKEEPSIE, N. Y., April 16.-—The
authorities of the Matteawan asylum have
not given up hopes that Perry, the train
robber, is still' in the vicinity of the asy-
lum. Further particulars of the robbery
of George H. Abbott’s house at Hughson—
ville on Saturday night strengthen the be-
lief that Perry has not left Dutchess coun-
ty. The house was entered by somebody
some time during the night, and $40 in
money and a gold watch, a long black
overcoat, a coat and vest of the same color
and a derby hat were stolen. Attached to
the vest was a gold badge of the Junior
American Order of United Mechanics. ,
The Thief Ate Twelve Eggs.
The thief entered the house through an
open basement window, and before going
up stairs to the sleeping rooms where he
secured the money and clothes be cooked
a dozen eggs on the stove, in which the
fire had been left, and ate them, together
with a quantity of bread and butter. Ab-
bott’s house is only half a mile from the
Sehoenfleld house. where Perry secured
his disguise on Thursday .night. The
police of this city have been diligent—
ly following up the claw furnished by
Orlando Burgher, who says that he gave
a man who looked like Perry’s picture
something to eat at 8 o’clock Saturday
night, but they have been unable to find
any further trace of the train robber in
this city. People who claim to have seen
Perry are numerous. A man who drove
in from Wappinger Falls today says that
he passed a man who looked like Perry
sitting beside the read reading a newspa-
per. The man had on rubber bod'ts. An-
other farmer from Manchester, which is
three miles from Poughkeepsie, says he
saw a man come out of the woods and go
down the road toward Poughkeepsio.
Detective McDonald is at work on this
elew.
Is Perry Bound For Little Falls?
Chief Detective Humphrey of the Gen.
trad-Hudson railroad said to a press corre-
spondent today that if it is a fact that
Perry passed through Schenectady yestera
day, as reported, he believes, as do other
police officers with whom he has talked,
that the fugitive is bound for Little Falls,
50 miles from Schenectady. After Perry
robbed the American Express company the
first time he was said to have secreted a
quantity of jewelry and other valuables
near Little Falls, and it may be that he is
making for that point to recover his val-
uables. Chief Humphrey has all of his
detectives on the western division of the
Central railroad instructed to look but for
Perry, and if the train robber is going that
way he will probably meet with a warm
reception.
Convict Davis Captured.
Davis, the fourth man of the five who
escaped from the Matteawan asylum to be
recaptured. ' was caught in a ravine elf
the Hughsonville road leading out of Wm)-
pinger Falls today. Dr. Romsen of Wap-
pinger Falls, on going into his barn.
The convict asked for
something to eat, and the doctor, suspect-
ing who he was, asked him if he had not
escaped from the asylum. Davis, then be—
coming frightened, ran out of the barn
and down the road toward Hughsonville.
Dr. Remsen fgllowed him, but when near
the outskirts of the village Davis saw six
men'from the asylum coming up the road
and recognizing them he left the road and
ran down into the ravine.
The asylum people fired several shots
after Davis, but did not hit him. He then
surrendered to the attendants, who went
down into the ravine and captured him.
Davis offered no further resistance and
was taken back to the institution. When
captured, he was in very bad shape physic-
ally, having sufi'ered very much from ex—
posure. Had he been disposed to offer any
resistance he could scarcely have done so
in his weakened condition.

Afflicted With Rheumatism.
Mr. Geo. A. Mills, of Lebanon, Count
says: “I was afflicted with rheumatism in,
my back all last winter. It was so severe
at times that I could not stand up straight,
but was drawn over on one side. I tried
different remedies without receiving an
relief until I bought a bottle of Chamberlain 5
Pain Balm. After using it for three days,
according to directions, my rheumatism was
gone and has not returned 'since. I have
since recommended it to others and know
they have been benefited by its use. For ,
