DETROIT Sept. 14.-What is regarded
as singular event in connection with
the death of Charles H. Chauvin. the
wealthy Crosse Pointe hermit. murdered

two natural heirs, there being no will In

Sixteen Out of Twenty-three Mem
bers Under Arrest in Chicago.

tBy Associated Press)
CHICAGO, Sept. l4.-In the arrest last
night of Harry Hirtley and George Hux-
ton, who were caught robbing a house
on Langley avenue, the police unearthed
another gang of burglars. Through the
confession Of Huxton, 1t was found that
the gang had operated on an extensive
scale, the district included in their oper-
atoms extending from Evanston to the
Indiana State line, and from the lake
to the western city limits. Acting
upon HuXton's information the police
raided an opium joint on State street
and arrested fourteen Of the gang there,
including two women and two China
men.
There are twenty-three members in the
gang, and the police expect to bag the
rest to-day. From the joint the police
carried to the station four patrol wagons
loaded with various kinds of stolen
goods. This Is not all, however, as the
police expect to get several more wagon
loads of goods stored at ether places.
The scheme of the gang was to
thoroughly ransack all houses which
they found temporarily left unprotected
by their owners.

COlored Men.

BLOOMINGTON, H., Sept. 14-Judge
Upton, of the Circuit Court, has rem
dered a decision respecting the legal
rights of men engaged In business. In
July last two colored men applied to
II. III. Green, who keeps a soda fountain
In his drug store, for soda water. and
We're refused on account of their color
Each sued Green for $500 damage under
the statute of civil rights.
Judge Upton decided that they had no
cause for action; that the law prohibiting
keepers of hotels, restaurants, eating
houses, barber shops, public convey
ances, theatres and places OF public ac-
commodation and amusement from dis
eliminating between people on account
of color did not apply to druggist or
one keeping a soda fountain; and that
1t did not apply to merchants dealing in
goods. groceries, &c, nor profess
sional men. and that they might choose
the persons with whom they wished to
do business. The case will be appealed

TO ABATE SMOKE NUISANCE.
Natural Gas and Hard Coal to De
Used In Chicago Schools.

CBy Associated Press.)
CHICAGO, Sept. 1.-THE greatest VIC
tory yet achieved by the city smoke
department was won yesterday, when
the contracts for fuel for the city
schools were let by the business depart
ment of the Board of Education. Con-
tracts were entered into for natural gas
to be used as fuel in sixteen of the
largest schools in the city in the resi-
dence districts.
For nearly half of the other schools
contracts were signed for hard coal.
The remaining schools, except a very few
In the outskirts OF the city, will be
supplied with West Virginia smokeless
soft coal.
This is a result OF the efforts of the
city smoke department to abate the
smoke nuisance, and means total abo-
lition of the nuisa nee in all the schools
in the residence portion of the city, and
practically a total abandonment In the
entire city.

Six Little TaiIorS

The man who says he never heard of
1.-The Six Little Tailors'' confesses him
self to be an ignoramus of the first
water. The famous Jacobs Bros, who
have two establishments in this city,
one at 229 Broadway and the other at
l52 and 154 Bowery, have met with such
success that lately they branched out
and established stores in Philadelphia
and Boston. They have been amply re-
paid for their enterprise by the grand
success they have attained In their new
fields. There are really no tailors in the
fine custom line that can compete with
this firm. They buy all their goods
direct from the manufacturers, they dis
count all their bills, they manufacture
all their own stock, and by these as well
as other good business methods they
save their customers neat sum of
money. Their idea of business Is eX-
pressed by Large business and small
percentage" They are now making to
order fine suits from sl5 upward, over
coats from $l5 upward, full-dress suits
for $50 and trousers from 81 upward.
These are all of the finest goods from
the est-known American and foreign
manufacturers, and are strictly pure
wool and fast colors. Any caller at
either of their establishments is sure of
courteous treatment. ~
