Sleeping Between Black Sheets.


The fad OF wearing black silk under
clothing is said to be dying out among
New York society women, and they are
returning to less striking shades. This
may be due to the fact that the fad of
sleeping between black sheets is now be-
ing introduced and fancy demands q
change for underclothidg. real society
woman could hardly be expected to invent
anything new, and the idea of black
sheets Genes from abroad. An item was
printed in the London Truth some
time ago that certain Countess
OF Something or Other had
gone 10 sleeping between black
silk sheets. A New York woman
wrote at oncs to friend in London and
had the report confirmed. Thereupon in
New York that woman bestowed her own
far form between the blacklist sheets that
Gotham could supply, and so the fad took
root. The matter was the subject of can
vass at the Charity Ball the other night,
and the fact was developed that in ultra
foolish circles it is now considered quite
the proper thing. When these delicate
danes learn that black dye contains more
poison than any other, black sheets and
black Undertaking may cease to be the
rage. Light blue or light pink would be
recommended by dyers in preference to
any other shade, if they were consulted.

Ex.Seattle Barber Attempts Murder in
krnnlrlrn


Under date of January the New York
Sun publishes an account of the attempted
murder in that city New Years eve, of
lawyer named John Roesch, by Charles
A. Doerner, special policeman attached
to the Bedford avenue squad. The law
yer was not hurt. Doerner will be remem-
bered by many Seattle people as the 'pri-
waite detective" who arrived in the city
four months ago and engaged in several
swindling transactions. after which he
disappeared, going no one knew where.
When Doerner came to Seattle he was
accompanied by German named Hottie.

business card read, &c. A. Doerner, pri-
vate detective, Brooklyn, +. D."
His companion also claimed TO be de-
tective. After being in the city about
three weeks the two men rented room at
go Marion street and started a barber
shop The shop was conducted for a
month and business seemed to be running
along nicely until one day Hottie went
before Justice Won Tobel and had Doerner
arrested upon o charge of swindling him.
He claimed that he had been deceived by
Doerner, and that the latter had taken oil
his money. He said that he first met
DNernSr New oIAs ne ital Tptltp IN
cash and Doerner advised him 10 come
West and invest it. He came West
and Doerner accompanied him. They
started the barber shop together and
he turned over his 5000 TO
Doerner for safe keeping. The latter
placed the money in the banks TO his own
credit. and il was month before Hottie
learned the truth. The case was not
prosecuted because Doerner compromised
the matter with his partner. The barber
shop was closed up, and Doerner remained
in the city until i've weeks ago. when he
went away.
No one knew of his whereabouts until
the g published the account OF the al
tempted murder of Lawyer Roesch.
Il is believed by the New York police
that Doerner is crazy. The SgH says of

Joe's Old Partner.

A person entering the spacious billiard
room of the Aston house any time dur
ing the past eight years between the
hours of and p. nj. would have
been pretty certain to see q port
ly, gray-haired man of 80, perhaps,
in shirt sleeves, banging away with a
cue at one of the tables on the
Barclay street side. That man is
Colonel Bill Grosvenor, of the cele-
brated political firm of "Bill and joe"
Grosvenor is now an editorial writer on the
New York Tribune. He lives over in New
Jersey somewhere, and he is a crank on
billiards. He never misses an afternoon
from his favorite game. He plays with
the zeal of maniac, and yet, with practice
sufficient to make him as proficient as
Slosson or Schafer, he is only an ordinary
performer. In 1912 Grosvenor was the
editor of the St. Louis Democrat. At that
time Joseph Pulitzer was the editor of
Carl Schurz's HeSttichs Post. Backed by
Gratz Brown, the pair evolved the cele-
brated liberal movement, which resulted in
the Greeley fiasco of 1872. The firm was de-
risively known as "Bill and Joe." In those
days Grosvenor was q shouting free
trader. Never man of genuine convic-
ton. he suddenly became converted TO the
doctrine Of protection, and since that time
ne has ably maintained that cause in the
columns of the leading protection organ.
His little free trade brochure, entitled
docs Protection Protect 2" is not regarded
as textbook in the Tribune office. but as
Gro.venor never had firm convictions
Of any kind, he is no more troubled by mis-
free trade record than was the apostle Paul
by the record which he made as Saul, the
agnostic. He has an interest now in patent
typesetting machine, out of which he ex-
poets TO make fortune. While he is
poor. but in the enjoyment of robust
health, his political partner, Joseph
Pulitzer, worth at least $1,000, 900, is lying
in g dark room up town. unable TO enjoy
the fruits of his marvellous success
Doubtless the junior member of the much
derided firm OF 'Bill and Joe" would give
half as much as he is worth if he could get
as much happiness out Of life as does the
grizzied Grosvenor in banging the billiard
balls in the Aston house, 10 the occasional
cadence OF a popping beer cork Grosvenor
has very few friends and very little char
acter, but he IS an able fellow intellectu-
ally, and life still seems to have a roseate
aspect for him.

Nicolini. Such love and devotion as exists
between this coupler Is seldom seen on our
earth. And NicOlini is by no means bad
looking man, despite his 80 odd years. He
watches over Patti with the care of doting
father. Occasionally he goes down in the
kitchen OF the hotel, and prepares and cooks
for her some favorite dish. He is always
at her side, and every wish on her part is
at once complied with. At the opera he
looks after her dresses and jewels, and he
is always in the wings when she is on the
stage Norton, the manager of the Grand
opera-house in st. Louis, told me that on
one occasion when Patti was singing with
Mapleson there she made a tremendous
hit. She had several recalls, which she
accepted with her customary atfabillty,
and the house was fairly trembling with
the applause of the enraptured audience.
As the smiling and happy diva tripped off
the stage, radient with triumph, Nicolini,
in an outburst Of loving admiration,
dropped upon his knees and gathered her
robes in his hands and kissed the very hem
of them. Then he caught and Rugged her

who loved and honored her? From the
day of that union no breath of scandal has
touched the name of Patti. She has full
filled every obligation, and to me, with all
her noble gifts, she is more 70 be honored

ear FsArcrscc, Jan. 10.-The British
ship Aristomene arrived of the heads
early this morning with the signal dis
tress flying. A pilot boat ran down to the
vessel, and was told by the captain that
he was bound for Vancouver. B. c., but was
entirely out of provisions. The captain
came to town on the pilot boat and bought
o load Of provisions, which were taken of
on the tug, and the ship proceeded on her
way.
The Aristomene had very narrow es-
cape from going to the bottom and was
only saved by sacrificing q considerable
portion of her cargo. The ship left Soura-
baya, In the Dutch East Indians, about
four months ago. with cargo of sugar.
bound for Vancouver. She was caught in
g terrific hurricane, which lasted fourteen
hours. During the time the ship was
totally unmanageable and her decks were
swept of everything movable by seas that
broke on board. The ship was thrown on
her beam ends, and she lay over so far that
water was up to the hatchway and all
hands sought safety on the poop, where
they dashed themselves until the gale SUBJ
sided. Then the man-hatches were taken
of and the work of jettisoning
cargo was begun. BY the time the ship
was balanced, over zoo tons of sugar had
been heavee into the sea. 1t was then
discovered that every particle of bread,
-four, tea, coffee and rice was so thoroughly
soaked with salt water as to be utterly
useless and, and salt psrk was the only
provision not damaged by salt water.
The crew were in wretched condition
until San Francisco was reached.
