A maid heard a revolver shot, and rushed into Lyons' room, where she found the man lying on tlie bed, dead. He was fully dressed, and blood was pouring from his month. A revolver was lying on the floor. FASHIONS AND FROLICS. Adelaide, March 16. The Rev. Evans, in a sermon, severely criticised the popularity of the tango dances and corset parades. The tango, he said, was the latest heresy, and its dancing voluptuous, sensuous, amorous, and familiar. There seemed to be a taste for amusements spiced with indecency, and for women to ho garbed in scanty costumes ox stupid vulgarity. The whole feminist movement was a sign of the times. Morality, he said, was declining. The popularity of the tango was one of the disquieting symptoms, and the parade whs an insult to the people of Adelaide.
