senting a paper IN that town, as the
crowd of news-gathers filed out into the
night to take the last car home.
There had been a fire directly OPP
posite the office of this paper the night
before. A magnificent building was de-
stroyed, with all It's contents. The
streets in the vicinity were filed with
people, who SO checked the thor9ughfarss
as to almost prevent the fremen work
a new sense, and the papers were natur-
ally filed with telling the whole story.
The publisher of the p in question,
on reaching his office the next morning,
looked over the pa pers of his contem-
p~orar.es first. and then, lighting a fresh
cigar, tilted back in a chair, took up his
own paper, to read what he felt sure
would be the best report of all.
T his amazement there was not a
line concerning the fire in his .
When he sufficiently realized the fact
that no Mention had been made of the

China silk is a favorite for night
dresses, as it is cool and laundries nicely.
The favorite trimming for these is the
Pierrot frill, edged with fine lace. Night

which make them novel in appearance.
The pouch front is used on these night
robes as much as on the gowns for day
wear, with its soft folds of muslin,
edged with lace. A French muslin gown
has shoulder capes terminating on ether
side in points which fall over the arms.
These are edged. with torchon, as are
also the pointed frills on the elbow
made with huge elbow sleeves and wide
reveres, the trimming being inserted

made low neck and sleeveless, and
quite short, with a deep 1ounc of lace

not insane and that he was sent to the
asylum because he had discovered dis

He also declared that he physicians at
the asylum were dosing him to make

established the dead line in his case

Captain Jack Graham will nof have
an opportunity of returning good for
evil by placing his case in the hands of
the Court of Pardons. He was convicted
yesterday at Freehold of falsely arrest
ing Mr.. Charles E. Bell of Ohio. upon the
mer. The story is well known. The
Captain animated by the rashness and
egotism which have been the features
of his political conduct here, and think
ing. apparently, that recent Republican
successors made him Supreme Dictator
of the United States. marched two gen.
tlemen. Mr.. Bell and Mr.. Wright, off to
the lookup without the slightest vestige
of rhyme or reason.
Graham's defence was IN attack on
Mr.. Belts character which ean only be
described as Infamous. and which was
refuted by sworn testimony in every de-
tail. The conduct of the defence, indeed.
greatly enhances the original offence. and
may well be taken into account by the
Judge in imposing sentence.
Now that Graham Is a convicted law
breaker, we wonder if the Republican
Reform majority in our Jersey City
Board of Aldermen will retain him in
office as City Marshal. Quite likely they
will. Judging from some of the motor
ious strikes recently proposed as ordin-
ances in that body. we should think a
gentleman with a record would be per-
soma grata to it.
