Connected Thinrs,"

I am a great admirer Of young ladies'. but I
think without doubt that they (some) are the
most concelted things imaginable. See them at
the seashore. in the ballroom. In the park. at
home and In the cars. boats. &C.. especially the
latter. Why do they invariably sit in the cars,
&C.. with their ~prettiest side towards some young
gentleman whose attention they want to attract,
but still not notice him outwardly. Why do they
cross their feet and show their ~prettiest foot,
also take OF their gloves II their hands are we'll
formed; also read high ads: in cars
to show their large eyes. to laugh
to show their teeth. to open pocketbooks to ex-
hiibit engagement or perhaps wedding ring on
their hand; to mention Saratoga. the Branch.
&C.. when they have only heard Of such resorts;
to mention. of course out loud. plano. elocution,
singing and banjo, when they have not one 40
complishmentH l could mention hundreds Of such
frivolous actions and sayings that one can see
and hear every day In New York. and I suppose
In any large city. May some concsitsd girl take
advice from this. WILLIAMSBURG. Brooklyn.

For Kid Boots.

Here Is a method for the treatment Of
kid boots, when one has been unfortunate
enough to get them soaking wet, and
does not wish to set them aside to dry,
stiffen inc crack. as they most certainly
would do IL left without care: First, wipe
off gently with a soft cloth all surface
water inc mud. Then. while still damp,
rub well with kerosene oil, using the
happy side OF canton flannel. They
should then be set aside in a room Of
FORMAL temperature til partially dry,
when they are given another treatment
with the oil. and allowed to dry in a
warm room til. all traces OF dampness
have disappeared. They are then gone
over with French kid dressing, and once
more rubbed with flannel. still slightly
damp with the kerosene. This gives a
fine soft finish, and almost entirely re-
moves all traces OF the serious soaking.

HOLD THE CASINO.
Judge Dugro's Decision Handed
Down This Morning.
This Verdict Does Not Affect the
Ownership Of the Ground.

When the theatrical season opens this
Fall the Casino. the home Of comic
opera. will again be under the control
OF the Aronson brothers.
This Is In accordance with an order
signed by Judge Dugro. of the Superior
Court, this morning. and was predicted
In THE Evening World' of last Friday.
Under Judge Dugro's order the Re-
ceivers of the New York Concert Com
pany are permitted to lease the Casino
to William Henry Hall for one year
from Nov. l nex for $4,000 a year,
which Is the price paid by Canary &
Lederer, the present ~lessees.
Mr.. Hall is the representative of the
bondholders n Is also President OF
the Casino Club, which was organized
by the Aronsons.
The Club already n 500 members,
who. besides having free admission to the
theatre. are to have certain other club
privileges.
1t IL generally understood h be-
sides being the representative Of the
bondholders Mr.. Hall represents the
Aronson brothers, and that they will
again be In control of the theatre with
which they were 80 long Identified.
In his order Judge Dugro stipulates
that nothing In 1t Ia to he construed
MS affecting the rights of Robert l..
BiNby, the owner of the ground on
which the theatre stands, and who has
a claim for unpaid taxes.

THE EARLY EXCUSE AND THE sQUIRM.

Vigilant Is now skimming the deep
blue sea In jaunty style. Her prov Is
pointed proudly towards the English
coast and she is ripping along at nine
knots an hour, impatient TO reach the
course where she seems confident that
another trophy awaits her. She cuts
the Atlantic like q winner. and we hope
that she will continue to be the Joy and
pride of all Americans. no matter what
cutter or sloop she encounters on the
other side.
Englishmen seem to see defeat In the
distance for their crack yachts. Fault
finding has begun already. An English
publication that Is accorded some au-
thority in these matters Is insisting that
Vigilant Is too light in the hull and car
ries too much sail. besides being in
other ways designed and equipped for
cup-winning. 1t doesn't say that she Is
too fast a boat In exactly these words.
but that Is what 1t says all the same.
What a shame that America should
send n first-class yacht across to COM
pete with the British boats! sim. we
are doing so. We think. however. that the
English yachtsmen have begun to make
their excuses too early. Why not walt
until the races are run and then hold the
weather responsible for the result
That's what they did when Valkyrie
was beaten. 1t need not make any diff
ference whether the weather Is good or
bad. 1t will be bad enough to blame II
the home yachts get It In the necktie. as
they undoubtedly will.

A SUICIDE.
Frank Jacobs Shot Himself in
Bellevue Hospital.
In a Crowded Ward, Yet the Report
Attracted No Attention.
How Did He Get the Pistol Which
He Used ?

Frank A. Jacobs. a machinist. sixty
nine years of age. who formerly lived
at n Delaney street, committed suicide
In Bellevue Hospital. where he was
under medical treatment. by shooting
himself through the head with a So
calibre Colts revolver this morning.
The circumstances surrounding the
case are peculiar in a number of ways.
In a large public institution like Belle
vue II Is unusual for patients to have
loaded revolvers in their possession.
Jacobs shot himself at 4 o'clock. It
was 40 o'clock before the nurse in
charge Of the ward discovered the oc-
c%urrence. and It wal 6 o'clock before
Warden O'Rourke was notified. The
name OF the nurse Is withheld by the
Warden, who says he fails to see that
he Is In any way to blame.
Jacobs was taken to the hospital
three years by Herman woerner, of
7. Deiancey street. He was suffering

warden O'Rourke, who il the sole rem
tire OF information at Bellevue, said:
You may think It peculiar that no one
heard the shot fired by Jacobs, but it
doesn't strike me that way at all. A
tnunuer storm was raging at the time.
he probably fired during a thunder clap
and the sound Of the pistol shot was lost
IN that OF the thunder. No one heard 1T.
