Perkins, vice-president of the Corn Exohange Bank of New York, two! fons and servants In the family were aroused shortly before 6 o'clock this} morning by tho report of a revolver ebet in Mrs. Perkina'’s room. Mr. mu ran there, arriving just as Pi Catherine Gorman, a trained | nufee, rushed into the room. Mrs. Mabt temple and a revolver clutched {mn Ber hand. She was dead. | Mire. Perkins had been Ill for several yedre and recently her condition be- | came such that Dr. William Burke, who had been attending her, advised | that a nurse be employed. Miss Gor- man had been with Mra. Perkins for | about a week. Mrs. Perkins's trouble | Was & nervous allment and at times abe appeared to be in perfect health. Only last woek she visited New York to bave a specialist examine her eyes. This morning, according to the | Burse, Mrs, Perkins asked her to go | to another room on some small er- | Fand and as her pationt semed well | and happy Miss Gorman left the! room. An instant later she heard the report of the shot. Where Mrs Perkins got the revolver, unless she | bought it on her recent trip to New York, and how she managed to con- ceal it in her bed is a mystery. Mrs. Perkins, who was about fitty years old, was noted for her chart- table works. The family is prom- | {nent socially here. Mrs. Perkins was | the mother of four,sons, two of whom | are Gway at colle; HERE'S THE REAL TINT FOR FASHION LINGERIE: IT'S PRIMROSE PINK! | “Tim,” a Snapping Irish Ter- rier, Causes Women to | Reveal Secret. | Announce The prevailing | color of Pari lingerie for the | epring ‘# primrose pink! Hosiery runs to bluish tints, and pumps and slippers have black bottoms with em- brofdered uppers. How do we know? We wouldn't have known at all had it not been fer P. A. Richardson and his Irish terrier, both of whom—or which—er- rived on the Olympic to-day. Mr. Richardson didn't have much to do with the discovery, but his dog did. ‘The terrier, called “Tim” after a well- | known dog fancier, had just reached the Customs corral from the gang- tarted. swinging @ cane and trying desperately to keep his monocle from falling with the other hand passed close enough to “Tim” to step on his foot. “Tim” didn’t wait for ‘an apology—he went after the Eng- Mshman, snapping and snarling and barking and biting. The Englishman leaped to a trunk for safety. But the throng of fashionably gowned women and the crowds on hand to greet arrivals were not so | fortunate. The dog broke from his | leash and eet about to rout the whole army. In a moment a panic seized the | pier, Women screamed, cried for ‘help and two swooned, Strong men tried | to kick the dog, but he eluded cap- | ture, | The Indies—biess them, of course— | had ‘all visited Parisian shops before | embarking for Ainerica, This was quite er—er apparent, for dozens of them climbed to trunks and boxes and places of refuge with more or leas confusion and even on their) perches they did what the feminine fugitive always does, although there was no mouse about. And what a Gisplay! Strong men faltered and stopped chasing the dog. ‘Then, in the midst of the highly | colored scene, an ordinary dock man, one of those vulgar persons who has no sense of the beautiful, seized the poor dog by the hind legs, whirled him about in the air a couple of times and took him over to a water-tank kept for fire emergencies on the pier. With utter nonchalance the fellow raised the top of the tank and hurled the dog into the water, afterward cloajng the cover. When Richardson, the owner, reacued hia dog the sa t mal was practically drowned, Peking lay in bed, @ wound in her|! | that the: least, all the bitterness had been UA palin eg out of him.
