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.” ■ ■ BUSY BOYS. American Boy Battle Ship Scheme Very Popular.

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.

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.

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.

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.
