Rochester, Monroe, NY Democrat & Chronicle Feb 14, 1915 A DAY FOR YOUNG LOVE To-morrow the same scene will be re-enacted. This is St. Valentine's Day, but it will be celebrated in the public schools to-morrow afternoon, and the little girl with the blonde curls and the coy smile will receive an arm load of wishy-washy doggerel that to her is Tennysonian verse. Anyway, she is a mercenary creature, and the price-mark on the upper corner means as much to her as the hieroglyphics on the case of ivory boudoir instruments sent to her elder sister with the price tag left on with planned carelessness, by her sister's Lothario. Valentine merchants said yesterday that the public this season had practically forsaken comic creations, and that the etchings of bewigged persons of an olden day seemed to touch a popular chord. The garish inventions of childhood still are on the counters, however. For 2 cents you can get this: If all the world was violets blue And all the rain were sparkling dew, It would not be a gift too rare To offer you, my maiden fair. * TO HOLD LINCOLN SERVICES Lincoln services will be held to-night at the First Methodist Church. Rev. Horace G. OGDEN will preach on the "Life of LINCOLN." O'Rorke Post, and W. R. C., C. J. Powers Post and W. R. C., C. a. Glidden Camp S. O. V. and auxiliary, and O'Rorke Camp and auxiliary, have accepted invitations to attend.

About forty were present. Miss Helen MALOY and Mrs. Miller P. VAN HOESEN helped receive. * MAN DIES OF MENINGITIS James LAMONDO, 32 years old, who was brought to St. Mary's Hospital from Retsof on January 19th, died yesterday afternoon. The remains were taken to the morgue, where an autopsy showed death to have been due to cerebro-spinal meningitis, and ---- pneumonia. Coroner KLEINDIENST gave a certificate. * WOMAN INJURED IN FALL Mrs. Ella WILLIAMS of No. 30 Frances street, sustained a sprained right ankle Thursday evening. She fell when walking in Main street east near Railroad street. She was taken to her home by Dr. F. M. WALKER, who attended her. * REGARDED AS A CALAMITY Women Dread the Coming of the First Gray Hairs To thousands of women the appearance of the first gray hair means the coming of the winter of life — for it cannot be denied that when a woman's hair begins to turn she is regarded as "getting along in years" at least, if not old. Many women dislike to resort to the use of a dye and it is no longer necessary for them to do so as a most excellent hair tonic — The Excelsior — has been discovered which not only keeps the coming gray hairs in check but actually changes to their original shade the few that may already have appeared. The Excelsior is a most valuable addition to the toilet table accessories. The Monte Christo toilet preparations, creams, face powders, etc., are also becoming so well known that these manufacturing chemists of high reputation are compelled to arrange added facilities to meet the demand for their peerless compounds.

Adv. * Mr. and Mrs. John HABEL and family wish to thank their friends and relatives for their kindness and sympathy during the bereavement in the loss of a dear mother. — Adv. * RAMSDEN ON TRIAL SOON February 22d Date Set for Beginning of Proceedings John F. RAMSDEN, of Syracuse, will be put on trial on February 22d for the murder of his wife, Florence CASE RAMSDEN, in Anderson Park, in this city, on November 26. The trial will be conducted by Justice Arthur E. SUTHERLAND in Supreme Court. Assistant District-Attorneys James MANN and William F. LOVE, will be the prosecuting attorneys, and William HANCOCK, of Syracuse, and John A. MILLINER, of Rochester, will appear in RAMSDEN'S defense. Commissioner of Jurors John M. STEELE will draw to-morrow a panel of 150 veniremen, from whom it is expected the jury will be selected. RAMSDEN's defense will be emotional insanity. It will be claimed that revelations made to RAMSDEN by his wife and wrongdoing by her covering a long period so preyed on his mind that when he met his wife and she refused to go with him his mental equilibrium was destroyed and the killing followed. It will be claimed that RAMSDEN'S wife took a trip through Massachusetts with a young lawyer. RAMSDEN is said to be in poor health at the jail. He has heart trouble. * BORN SEISER - To Mr. and Mrs. Frank SEISER, No. 376 Melville street, Thursday, February 14, 1915, a daughter. * CONFIRMED HARRISON - Mr. and Mrs. D.
