SUSPECTS UNDER ARREST. the he riblo affairs ante great anxiety 1s. felt j for her, Sam Story et the Crime—A Dry Coeds Clerk pasyected—'lie is Wader .arrest—Doubts or aorMla Connection With the Crimes A Napanee despatch gives the following .additional particulars of the murder of Mr. Angus McLeod by a burglar ;. r, McLeod got home from a alis. denary meeting between 11 and 12, when lie, his wife and on retired, hie daughter baling at her grandmother's. The burglar mitered the honee by cutting tioreugh a shutter and then opening a window. lie 'WWI a pool customer, for he lighted the gas' and rifled the whole down stairs for booty. It was while upstairs in the °badrea'a room that his movements awakened Mr. MoLeodi; about 2.30 a. m., who then got up and repoke to his wife, taking her what he would do. He then went out on the landing with. a pitcher in his hand, and the burglar called on him to go no farther, or he would shoot, emphasizing hie com- mand by firing his revolver down stairs. In the meantime Mrs. MoLeod, affrighted, rose and dodged between the dresser. Mc- Leod advanced to the landing, and the bur- glar waa on the ataire when he fired the fatal shot, which entered the breast just below the collar -bone and severed an artery. The murdered man then walked back into Isla room, sat down on a chair at the foot of the bed and DROPPED OVER DEAD without speaking. Mrs. McLeod was horror- atrioken by the deed, and, beyond asking her dead husband to speak, was powerless to do anything or call for help. In the meantime the murderer, realizing hie situa- tion, turned and fled ani fell down stairs, dropping his hat, which is the only clue so for to his identiby. The terror of the situation restored Mee. MaLeod's faoulbiee, and raising the window she screamed for help in agony. She waited for a few seconds that seemed like ages, and then, taking her little son, went into the street, when Mr. .Elliott, Custom House officer, who lives next door, and who had heard the reports of the revolver, the fall and the screams, met her. When dressing Mr. Elliott rallied his window and aroused Dr. Batten, living next him, who was on the scene a few min- utes after Mr. Elliott. S. Gibson, F. W. Vandasea, John T. Grange and others who bad just come off the morning train entered the house with Mr. Elliott and the dotter, land quickly aroused the police and the rata- rtives of the dead man. Mr. McLeod was found lying en his right side with hie face towards the window in a peel of blood, while the carpet was tracked where he had walked and several articles of furniture were ttpattered with blood. Blend had flowed from his mouth, and the body with the eur- teundings presented a ghastly spectacle. lir. Elliott heard a man, presumably tbe murderer, walk past his residence after the shots were fired and then run. Ib is sup- posed the murderer ran down Robert street and, then making acrees the bridge, caught o train at Ernestewn station, about three utiles from town. Chief Storms and Mr. Elliott quickly took in the 'situation and went to the station to telegraph the station agents to look out for the murderer. Early this morning telegrams were sent to all the surrounding towns and villages to be en the look out fer the man. sUSP SOTS ARRESTED, The news spread rapidly, and soon vari- ous suspicions were given. A man named Armstrong was auspeobed and taken into nuatody, but, giving a good account of him- self, was released. The Deeerento police sent word that they bad a suspected man named 3;leemer, but on investigation he was re - loomed. Suspicion was then directed to one Somerville, a dry goods clerk from King- ston, who had been here on a epee, and a description of this suspect was telegraphed to Ktngaton and ether places, and about 10.30 a telegram was received that the Kingston police had arrested him. Chief Storms went to Kingston withoutn warrant, .however, but the Magistrate refused to de- liver him to Chief Storms. The authorities are wholly in the dark, but the Ontario Government hae been telegraphed to send a detective to investigate, and it is expected ane will arrive to -night. A NATIVE OF KINGSTON. The murdered man was a native of Kingston, an& learned the tinamith trade with Chown Bros. He bras a mother living In Kingston and a brother in Hamilton. He was a genial man and teak a prominent part in church affairs. Hie wife is heart- broken ab the horrible event, which has .Hast a gloom over the whole town. The Town Council has offered a reward for the arrest of the murderer. Mr. J. C. Huffman, coroner, is out of town, bet Dr. Meacham, M. P. P., ef Odessa, was telegraphed for and will hoid an inquest tat -night. The wife of the murdered man was one of the witnesses, and her appearance in the court room caused great excitement. She had to be carried in, and a murmur of sym- pathy arose from the spectators as she was given a seat near the platform. She broke dews completely while telling the story of the murder, but gave a full account of the terrible deed, though sho was unable to give a description of the murderer. There was a sensation in the court room when she M- elded that she did not believe the murderer Intended to shoot her husband, but only to frighten him. Mr. Connolly, who lives near the railway, beatified that he heard his dog barking aboub the time of the murder, and en lave'. ,gating in the morning discovered footprints, wbioh may eerie as a means of identlfica- tdon of the culprit. SOMERVILLE IN OIISTODY. Detective Murray, of Toronto, is here, and has made an examination of the wordless, but his whereabouts aro at .present unknown. Chief Storms left again last night for Kingston with a warrant for F. C. Semerville, the dry goods clerk ar- rested on suspicion, and returned with him this afternoon on the Chicago flyer. A great crowd assembled at the station, but no demonstration was made, ae it is thought ho is not the guilty person. Somerville refuses to make a statement except that he la innocent and Dian prove an alibi. His brother is here with him, and influential friends have retained H. M. Derocho, Q.C., to defend him. The prironor was brought before James Daly, P. M., and remanded to jail for eight days, but he will be present at the ingeeab Monday night. Suspicion is illreotod to a man named Thompson, whose description tallies very much with that of Somerville, but bo has dlnappoared. A'snspicious charaoter was seen yesterday harking about the barn of John Aloombraok, in the township of Iilohmond, a few mike trim here. As the newel of the murder had nob got to Mr. Aloombraok he was net apprehended. Ho was watched for some Nate, but when ho behaved in a threatening mistier he was nob_ molested, il'hs fettered of Dir.

He is a dissipated fel- low, and for acme time past hae not been working, For several days before the mur- der he was seen drinking around Napanee. He was not known to have any money, and was seen trying to pawn a gold pin •for $l, agreeing to take it out for $1,25 in the coarse of the week. He did not get the money. Later he telegraphed his wife in Kingeten for moray, but it was nob known whether he smeared ib. Somer- ville is said to have been seen tearing the sweatband from his hat in the Campbell house, an .unusual thing for a man te do. The hat was a Fedora, some- what faded. A hat of similar `tyle and without a sweatband woo found in the bed- room of the murdered man. Somerville was seen in Napanee on Tueaaley, in the com- pany of a printer named Armstrong, who was recently thrown onb of work. The bwo were around together a geed deal. On the night of the murder Armstrong did net sleep in bis bearding -beta°, but was found in another boarding•heuse. He confessed to having been eut late on tbo night in gees - tiers, and slept in new quarters because they were more convenient. Hia board was paid in his own boarding-heuee, When ehewn the bat be Bald that he recognized it, bub could not state where he was. Armstrong le detained in custody. The only other auspicious ebaracter Been around Napanee on 'Wednesday was a tramp whe had his arm all. bandaged np, solioiting alms. irate in tbe afternoon he was seen near the station removing the bandages and putting them in his pocket for future use. THE MURDERERS MISTAKE. The euppeeition Is that the burglar mis- took McLeod's hone for that of Mr. S. C. Warner, barrieter, of the firm of Herrington & Warner, since the denoription of ono house would answer for that of the ether. The murdered man was rammed of no means, which fact was generally known. He lived respectably bub quietly, and Irem necessity was frugal and 000nomroai. He would be the last man aw pealed off having any large amount of mnnev in his poaees- sion. On the ether hand. Mr. Warner was known to have $600 or $700 in hie perme- ation all day. The money was to pay off the workmen whe bad been engaged in rebuild- ing the property destroyed in the repent fire. A man could not vary well carry around such a large roll of bills aU day without t eme one becoming aware of Mn. Warner lives next door to Dr. Rut - tan, being two houses from Centre street. Mr, McLeod lived on the other side of Dr. Rattan, being only two bowes from Thomas street. An lntendinst burglar would not likely make too careful oegnirlos as to the location of the home, for fear of arousing suspicion, and would probably be eatiefied in his own mind ef the bowie if told that Mr. Warner lived next door to Dr, Rattan, two beanies from the corner. Where are these facts, however, to cause the suppeeltion that the burglar was aware that Mr. McLeod had money in his poa- seseion on the night in postilion, and that he made no mistake in the house he in- tended to enter. On the eight of tbo mur- der Mr. McLeod was aobivg ae door -keeper at a Presbyterian cmnoert. During the day he asked tbe clerk of the Camphell House te change five dollers. He also changed five dollars at Mr. Ctapp'., grocery. Hia object in changing the i ilia was to get some email change for cosvontence at the door. The proneeds of the concert amounted to about $26, of which he was custodian until it oeuid bo applied to the proper fund. Notes of New ttar,nets.

Just after Sir Edwin Arnold had suc- ceeded in stimulatingthe occidental imag- ination by his romantic tales of the beauty, the grace and the Arcadian simplicity of the Japanese maiden, Clement Scott, the London dramatic critic, came along and rudely dispelled the 'linden created by Sir Edwin, says a writer in the Nashville American. According to Mr. Scott, the slant -eyed girls ef the Mikado'," land were unpleasant to look upon, deficient in femin- ine virtues and altogether moat undesirable acquaintances. Now comes James Herr- mann, a wealthy San Francisco merchant, who knows Japan as well as be knows Cali- fornia, and deposes that Mr. Scott is a slanderer and a man devoid of taste and gallantry. " Parer women than those of Japan can be found nowhere in the world," says Mr. Herrmann. " The reckless jour- nalist mush have Been the seamy side of Japan by gaslight and imagined that the abandoned characters et the Yosbiwara were the leaders of society. As a matter of fact, se Maltreat is the deportment of Japanese women that the divorce court does nob exist and hate never even been thought of." HOW TO CLEAN THE FACE.

Thus, for instance, when they had set up a braze -new gailewe of good seasoned oak • woad en ooe of the finest hill tope in the neighborhood, as is the custom in Germany, and an adjoining parish begged to be allowed to hang one of its malefactors upon it, it Is en record that the Rulaohers lndig- nanbly denied tbetn, protesting : "Tb a gedlows is for oureelvea only, and or our children."

The lady etruota me as being a petite bourgeoise on an adventure bound. 1 took her to be 85, but she might have passed for 10 years manager, and• was ono of these women of whom the French say that "they aro only the age they look." The figure wee ono to set off to advantage the clothes that it wore,. and was corseted in a w.ay to confine- the waist merely, and to give relief and freedom to the be M. There was nothing particularly 'noticeable in the materials of the garments ;• but was not is rctence de chiffon displayed in the arrange- ment of folds mad irialaga 1 As to the countenance, it woe SINGULARLY AGREEARDE, it baying at once a soft and a piquant ex - premien, and making one feel that there was a deal of life behind it. The features were well proportioned, but the nese had a touch of irregularity. This, however, was not a defect, ie being in keeping with a beautifully-fermed mouth of the cherry -ripe sorb, A line full forehead, fair and smooth, and epeaking dark eyee, showed that the lady was ne fool, She was unveiled, and bad on gloves the worse for the smut and dust that found their way into our compart- ment. Nearly an hour and a half Reseed in the heat of a broiling afternoon. Our compart- ment felt like a Turkish bath, and had the same effect on the skin. Tile lady read the snppbemente of newspapers, which are gen- erally filled with Merles and obit -chat. I was deep in a novel when not engaged in watohing her, for she had EXCITED DIY OURIOS1TY. I bad noticed a collection of objects In repousse elver attached to her girdle. They were expensive, and, seeming to be toys fer grown-up people, it did not occur to me that they were the objects d'utilite which they turned mut to be. We drew nigh to Paris. The lady suddenly took out of her pocket a silver box of pearl powder, and a case mirror of the same metal. Sho then undid from the girdle what I should have taken for a flask of emeiling-salts, also eneaeed in silver. It held pate d'amande soap, which could be applied with a camel's-hair pencil, that lay as if itt were a pencil in a silver tube. A small basin of impervious linen, that was folded up std bidden under the porte bouquet of a sheaf of roses, was in turn forthcoming. Concealed among the eowere was also an India rubber flask, filled with water. It amneed me to note now ingeniously ibis utensil was stewed away, the neck being in the • stalks ef the flowers and the batten part uppermost, and teethed with the delicate foliage and tendrils of the :. vine. Tho lady bad PINNED To HER PETTICOAT a small agnaro of bath towel, the size ef a pocket -handkerchief. On being washed, she took from the silver objects suspended from the girdle a email case -comb, mud passed ib through the abort, fine front hair which sho had pushed back. It was then ready to be curled around her fingerer An R. A- might have done worse than watch how she manipulated these little curls ao as to throw thou} into a wild grace, and to give value to the charming forehead and pignancytto the pbyatognomy. Inetincb alone, I should gay, prompted the fingere, as they worked lightly with the silky hair. Next, the face having had time to dry well, the lady dusted it with the poudre aerie, wiping the powder"well off near the oars, and more gently farthertowarde the front of the face. It was allowed to remain thickest near the nose, though stilt not tbiok. Tho little she left was really an improvement, and made her resemble a pastel of Latour. Somehow it brought her face more into harmony with the fla'fla of her frilliegs, and cleared off just a soupcon of provinoial style. HEA ANTIQUE "WATcr•I." She was net yet done. I had noticed what had seemed to me a large old- faahteuod watch banging from the girdle, and thought) what a good effect its antique air lead r,n this medern person. It simply contained a small collect -up taper, a few small imp's/Dents for mar:foaro purposes, a tiny pair of bongo such as Spaniards use as cigarette -holders, a glass tube of carmine, and another of what seemed gum -water. In short, it held quite an arsenal of war implements for a beauty. Care had been taken in the sonde° de riz phaco with the toilet of the twelfth, and crowe'-£eeb that were jaot beginning to appear. They, and the flesh of the eheoke near mouth and chin, alone betrayed the thirty-five years. Well, the tenor was lighted, and one of the small implement a examined and dis- carded for a small hairpin, the rounded end of which was held over the lime until it was well eovored with lamp -bleak, when it was applied with a strong, quick, dexter. ens touch to the root of each eyebrow, caro being token to keep well in the middle. Thus applied, the mark made with the hair- pin was hidden in die,eemotshae scattered bair of the brows and did nob show on the white skin.

Look Box 71, Nelson, B.C." Basswood "Professors." Many have been the attempts to point out the inappropriateness of the popular be- stowal of the title of "professor" upon the members of the musical prefeaeion in this country.: Yet the general public', and, to very barge extent, the prose, persist in sup. plying this handle to the names of mueio teachers, pianists, organists and directors, with a persistency worthy of a better cause. The reason why it is not good form is be- came there Is no authority here, as there is in Europe, to confer each a title. Cense- qusntly if any musioianassooiatea it, or per - mite it to be asseciated with his .name, the mot is one of self.asanmption, with all the bad taste that ouch an act implies. When one comes to think of it, be will notice that he bas never read of "Prof." Theodt re Thomas, "Prof." .Anton Seidl, "Prof." Ignace Padereweki, neither bas he seen the title connected with the names of any musicians of international or national reputation. Self-awsump- tion being e. charaoteristlo of °harba- tane the result is that every one of them is a " prefessor," and the title has been brought into ouch 111-repate that capable mneicians consider it a roproaoh rather than a compliment. As every cepable musician knows that, in nearly every case, the ad- dress of professor t in the nature of a com- pliment, he dose not always find it in hie heart to inform hie addroaseo of hie Ignorant use of the word, thus seemingly admitting the soft impeachment, on the principle that a " permitted inference is 00 etreng as a statement." Bat the mueloiana' efforts at explanation are not always crowned with success. Nob long age the organist of a prominent local ohnrch, while walking with the minister, made a desperate attempt to rid the latter of the habit of addressing him ae "professor." The minister thanked him for the correction, but when they carne to the parting of the ways the laetthing the minister unconsciously amid, was : " Well, goed-bye, prefemcr 1" The organist gave up the ease as hopeless. When you ace a man who is fairly well contented with his lot, mad has little griev- ance against the world, you can rest assured that he bas had some pretty hard knocks f» his time.
