TICKET BROKERS INDICTED
Findings Against Eleven Scalpers Re-
turned by the Chicago Grand Jury.
All Charged with Selling Tickets Without Au-
thOrity from the Officers Of the Railway
Companies-Cut by the Burlington.

Indictments were returned yesterday at
Chicago by the grand jury into Judge Col
Inns court against eleven Chicago ticket
brokers. The names of the victims are
George Mckenzie, George w. Frick, Ed. j.
Hunter, George A. Fellows, G. +. Stout and
others. Bail was fixed at $500 in each
case. The complaints and information
were given by representatives of half a

The bills against the scalpers charge
them with selling tickets over the above
named lines without certificates of author
tty from the officers of the roads. 1t Is q
violation of q special act of the Illinois
LEGISLATURE, passed IN 1878. intended for
the protection of travellers and tr%ansporta-
tion companies. The matter was brought
TO the attention of the April grand jury,
but although an abundance of evidence
was furnished showing that the law was
being constantly violated. no indictments
were returned. This time the investIga-
ton was conducted secretly, and the scalp
ers themselves were taken by surprise
when the result was announced.
Some years ago Judge Jamison held that
the law was demonstrations. The scalp
ers pin their faith TO this decision. and de-
clare they have no fear of the outcome.
They say they will secure competent coun-
sci. and If necessary will carry the case to
the Supreme Court. They are already try

Took a Terrible Revenge.

During the early part of the week Adam
Sherman had his father-in-law. Michael
G%roskopf, arrested upon q very grave
charge. 1t now appears that there may
have been q large per cent. of spite In this
action. as Groskopf was discharged on ac-
count of there being no evidence against
him. Yesterday afternoon Justice Habich
fined Sherman $50 and costs for drunk
eDess. The Justice says the evidence shows
that S~teenman;s wife left him on account
of his drinking. and that while in q drunk
en- state he has been in the habit of COM
ing to the house of his father-in-law. where
she went upon leaving him. and demand-
ing TO see his child; and when this was re-
fused him he would make things how in
the neighborhood. The Squire said Steen-
mar acted queer and he thought his mind
WAS affected.

and the people had to keep warm in the
winter by means of curious little foot
stoves in which fires of corncobs were
built.
There was considerable opposition to
the introduction of the new tangled heat
ing apparatus. The purchase of two
box stoves in which "chunks" of wood
were burned was approved at some
what stormy meeting of the church and
congregation on Jan. 1, 1928, and one
"Doct. Orion" was instructed to get
them. The church edifce was not pro-
vided with chimneys, and so the stoves
were placed in two corners of the build
ing, and the smoke was carried away by
stovepipes that stuck out of the win
dows. Some scandal arose at one time,
according to Mrs. Backus' memory, be-
cause certain persons of the male persua-
sion were careless in their use of to-
bacco, and the church finally passed
formal resolution to the effect that those
who must chew during divine service
should "provide themselves with boxes
to spit in, and not spit on the floor of
the meeting house."
The Rev. Mr.. Cleveland had not long
been pastor of the Caldwell church when
the $3.50 salary which was agreed upon
was found to be inadequate to the sup
port of his constantly increasing family,
and the quaint old church record book,
from which I have already made an ex-
tract, contains copy of letter which
the minister transmitted to the church
on Jan. 2, 1887. 1t set forth in simple,
direct phrase that he must have larger
income or resign his place in Caldwell.
The letter produced the desired result.
Under date of Jan. 20, 1887, minute
appears of a meeting at which it was de-
cided, by a vote of 18 to Is, to increase
the pastors salary to 5000 year. On
Jan. l, 1841, it was mutually agreed
that church and pastor would do better
apart, and few weeks afterward the
Cleveland family moved away from the
pretty mountain village of Caldwell.

THE BIRTHPLACE OF GROVER CLEVELAND.
well, who, when the gun wadding of the
Continental troops gave out at the bat
tie of Springfield, N. j., broke into a
nearby church and confiscajted an arm
full of hymnbooks. These he tore up
and gave to the soldiers for wadding.
"Give 'em Watts, boyY!" he cried, and
they did and won the Fight.

any who might remember the Cleveland
family that made yesterdays pilgrim
age.
1t goes without saying that the people
Of Caldwell, regardless of party ties,
take pleasure in showing visitors the
birthplace of Grover Cleveland. The
house is a plain, brown painted struc-
ture, and stands little back from the
main street, not far from the railroad
spur that winds across the marshes and
over the mountains from Jersey City to
Caldwell. Graceful elms wave over the
lawn, and an old fashioned picket fence
extends along the street front. There
has been little change in the appearance
of the house since the days of the Cleve-
land family in Caldwell. The porches
have been modernized, the front gable
and the low 81" to the rear have been
added, and the by 8 window panes
have been replaced by larger glass. The
old wide weatherboards remain as they
were at first.

settles or choux or windmill bows with
floating ends. Indeed the floating ends
should never be omitted, as they add so
materially to +he lightness of the dane
ing dress.
The particular trend Of the present
styles seems to be to make the shoulders
appear broad, and the bust is held in as
tightly as possible, Perhaps a hundred
or two years ago pictures show us there
was a similar style, and it must be con-
fessed that it is not very graceful, but
somehow the wearers manage to look
pretty in them after all.

wear. AS a rule these pictures are mis-
leading, for to make a pretty picture the
costume has great deal of elaborate
trimming, which always overloads a
dress if made exactly like it. The palmer
apicture looks the safer it is to copy after.
These new Elton jackets and the cor
sages where the waist is apparently cut
in two, stretched as if to fit a growing
girl and then filed in by some other ma
terial, look very well in pictures, but
they fail lamentably when put upon a
real live person. True, it is fashionable
just now to have the waists of gowns
made in sections, but it is not pretty
way, and | believe that every person
who wears one has to brace herself up
with the reflection that it is better to be
out of the world than out of the fashion
before she puts it on.
A handsome though rather patched
up style noticed in one of our largest
houses Saturday which had the merit
of oddity. 1t was gray twilled soft
wool, with snowfakes all over in irreg-
ular spots. The corsage was of rich
dark green velvet, fastened with three
buttons covered with the same. This
corsage was cut out in the neck in front
and straight across in the back, leaving
the undercorsage and sleeves of the wool
visible. Around the edges of the velvet
corsage and sleeve caps was roll Of
plaid velvet, which was made over a
half inch MANILA rope. The velvet was
sewn over the rope, and then fastened
to the edge. Two rolls of the same ex-
tended around the bottom of the skirt.
The velvet was in bright tartan plaid,
with white and bright red and yellow
plentifully interspersed. 1t was really
very handsome, but l do not envy the
one who makes and sews on this kind of
trimming. The velvet should be on the
bias.
Narrow ribbons in several colors, laid
in shirred ruffles close over each other,
make one of the prettiest trimmings of
the season. The colors should be well
chosen, to match colors or threads in
the goods or to be an artistic contrast or
combination. Rose plating is still a
high favorite-too high when its cost is
considered. A very beautiful new trim
ming in Persian and Russian embroidery
can now be purchased ready to go on
any dress, and being in threads of
mixed colors it will adapt itself to any
color and any material. 1t has usually
a bordering of some kind of fur and can
be obtained in several widths from one
to ten inches deep. 1t is quite expensive.
