DOUBLE LIFE
Led by The Beailtifill dili’-
dered Girl.
PICTURE OF MURDERER
Partially Developed in The
Glazed Eyes of Victhn.
•
New York, Aug. 19.—The
mystery surrounding the mur
der of beautiful Etneline C.
Reynolds, the 20 year old girl
in the Grand hotel, some time
Tuesday night, his not been
cleared.
Dr. Samuel J. Kennedy, a
young dentist, is under arrest
and is held without bail. It was
his name on the worthless check
calling for $13,000, that was
found on the girl’s person.
Kennedy posed as the woman’s
husband at the hotel. Employes
of the hotel have positively
identified him as the man whom
they saw leaving the house at
2:30 o’clock Tuesday morning.
He seems to have exercised a
strange influence over the wom
an.
She had given this man mon
ey to bet on the races, for he
had a betting system. She told
her jnother in Mt, Vernon that
she had expected to get large
profits from the money which
she ‘had intrusted to her friend
“the doctor.’'
The girl lived at Mo. 370 West
Fifty eighth street in luxurious
ly furnished apartments, and
made trips to Mt. Vernon, where
all -was staid respectability.
She had drawn SSOO from a
Mt. Vernon bank, the savings
of the bounty of a broker ami
said she was going to take it to
New York. She borrowed a black
leather bag from her mother to
carry away the profits of her
speculation.
This bag, still open, was
found upon the floor of the room
in the hotel near the body of the
woman. Near it was a piece of
lead pipe, by means of which the
the woman’s head had been bat
tered and her neck broken. Iler
earrings had been torn from her
ears, and her jewelry, which
she carried with her in a small
chamois skin bag, was missing
Taking his clue from a mur
der investigation in .Jamestown,
N. Y., several years ago, Ernest
Chauvennais, of this city, has
tried to find the picture of her
murdered in the eyes of Miss
Reynolds. The investigation of
the retinae of the dead girl’s
eyes did not take place until 24
hours after her body was found
in the Grand hotel bedroom. Dr.
Chauyennais says:
“Her eyes were open when the
death blow was given and fo
cused upon the murderer, who,
benning over her, dealt the
bludgeon blow that killed. Even
24 hours after her death the
silhouette of (he door of her
room, toward which she was
facing as the death blow came,
was partly discernible to tin
scientific eye.
“The local conditions were
such as to preserve the pictuie
of the nun dererf for at leasts
or 10 hours. The dimly lighted
room, the position of the head
and eyes, shaded from from tin
gaslight and daylight, all wen
favorable conditions. The eves
of the dead woman were strong
and in good health, tending to
give even ? better photograph.
“Near the foot of the bed the
shadow of a dark object, in gen
eral out lit es the figure of a man,
as discernable, and the slightly
I lighted shadow of the upper
portion of the body established
the sact that he was in his shirt
without coat or waistcoat, at the
time of the crime. The details
of face and figure, however,had
been blanched out. An earlier
investigation might have given
a complete picture.”

I!CE ADMIRAL-
Clamor for Dowrij to lie
Placed attlie Top.
WARRIOR AND DIPLOMAT.
High Encomium Paid by Wash
ington Post.
Wrshington, D. C., Aug. 19.
There is almost a popular clam
or today that Dewey shall be
honored by his country in away
that shall fully express the grat
itude of the American people for
his glorious achievements.
The general consensus of
opinion is that nothing less
than the revival of the grade
and office of Vice Admiral, for
the benefit of the hero of Manila,
will do, This must some by ac
tion of Congress, but the Secre
tary of the Navy and President
may recommend it, and it is
confidently believed that they
will do so,
The Washington Post’s lead
ing editorial today says: “Un
questionably, Admiral Dewew
is the chief ond commanding
figure of the war. Upon him,
stationed in the distant Philip
pines, the gravest responsibili
ties have rested, but he has
shown himself equal to any
emergency. Neither in battle
nor in the no less important in
terval of patient waiting, has
lie been found wanting. All that
is ideal and typical in American
civilization has found its embod
iment in him.
“The president and people,
through Congress, can show
their appreciation of the eminent
worth of this man. He should
be made an Admiral. The proud
title held by Farragut and Por
ter is not too great for him. Let
the grade of Admiral, now
abandoned,be again created .The
Nation owes it to the man who
has done so much and done it
so well.”
FIGHTING IN TWO WARS
Gen. Wheeler Comments on Djf
ference The Range of Guns,
New York, Aug 18, —G«n.Wheel-
er comparing ths conditions of the
Civil War to those of the Spanish
American, said:
“During the Civil War we foughr
at close range, and there was tn
rnendous nois and smoke, in this
war the rang« of fire was 800 yards
»r more, and there was very little
noise, and the use of smokeless
powder disposed of the smoke of
battle.
I saw probably the first Ameri
can struck in the fight. He was
near me and I went to him just as
he had fallen and could see no
mark where he had been hit, ye*
be was in the last agony of death
and died almost instantly. I heard
no nois, I had seen nothing and
cou’d not even see a wound on
him, and yet Ee was dying .
•Ve undid his belt and there was
just a email hole where tin ball
had gone ’hrough his body. The
range of fi>? its so great with mod
ern gun* that 1 lu- distance seemed
to make it !e difference in the
matter of danger. There is no such
a thing as seeking safety in the
rear. Whan we got to within 5(0
yards range practically the whole
armv was exposed to the fire, those
in the rear being in danger as well
as ♦hose tor >aid.

J Jw&Wk. to preserve her
\=r ■ beauty, attract-

amiability to the very end.
Thousands of women fail of this Ybr ore
great prevalent reason. While they resort
to every device to presedw their beauty of
complexion by external applications and
possibly take the best care of their general
health, they are too frequently utterly neg
lectful of their health in a special womanly
way. No woman can remain beautiful, at
tractive or amiable, who suffers from weak
ness and disease of the delicate and import
ant feminine organism. A woman who
suffers in this way will lose her clearness
of complexion, her eyes will become dull,
worry and pain will mark her face with
wrinkles and she will become nervous,
sickly, fretful and despondent. There is a
sovereign remedy for all troubles of this
description. It is Dr. Pierce’s Favorite
Prescription.
“ My illness was caused by lack of medical at
tention during childbirth. It lasted for a period
of three years, during which ray suffering was
almost indescribable, writes Mrs. Edith Petty,
of Texanna. Cherokee Nat , Ind. Ter. ‘Owing
to the injuries received—rupture, internal dis
placement. etc., I became a physical wreck. I
was in a evnstaut state of pain and nervous col
lapse. 1 became so nervous I feared insanity.
My heart wijs affected and 1 had spells of palpi
tation aud smothering Was reduced in strength
and could take no solid food. The doctors told
ate that recovery was impossible without a sur
gical operation. My monthly periods ceased en
tirely My mother bought a bottle of Dr. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription. I took twelve bottles
Thanks to an All wise Providence and Doctor
Pierce's medicines, the symptoms have all dis
appeared. I can now do a hard day's work, eat
anything anil everything I wish. I regard my
recovery as permanent for it is nearly two years
since I stopped taking I>r Pierce's medicines."
