TWICE A BOY.
The Old Man Was willing to Pay for
His Fun.

His Fun.
Magistrate Harrison of PHILADELPHIA is
laughing heartily over case that was ad-
lusted before him the other day. A wagon
loaded with mineral-water jugs backed up
to the curbstone in front of a bottling
establishment last week, and the driver
proceeded to unload his wagon by tossing
the Jugs, one at time, to colored youth
who stood on the opposite side of the curb
stone, ready to catch all that came his way
When things were moving nicely an old
man who occupied a house next door
threw brick as straight as a bullet and
broke one OF the jugs while it was in
transit from the driver to the colored boy.
He darted back into his own domicile be-
fore the driver could recover himself
enough to make protest A few minutes
later another jug was smashed, and again
the Old man disappeared with a merry
laugh. This was kept up until about a
dozen jars had been smashed, when the
angry proprietor stopped the fun by caus-
ing the old fellows arrest on the charge of
malicious mischief.
When Judge Harrison read the charge
to him the old man laughed until the
tears rolled down his cheeks, and then ad-
mitted his guilt. In making an explana
ton he told the astonished magistrate
that he was able and willing to pay for all
the damage he had done, and said e''I
saw those jugs flying, and l knew in my
own heart that l would have thrown bricks
at them when was boy, sixty years ago,
Just wanted TO see how it would feel
again, and couldn't help myself" The ex-
planatlon was satisfactory, and after set
ting the old fellow went away still laugh
ing heartily. - Pittsburg Chronicle-Tele-

visit; here, many seem to Imagine that
after such an invitation they owe party
call, and | have heard of several misunder-
standings as a natural result. l want It to
be distinctly understood that l am discuss

reception is OF a far more formal nature,
and party call naturally follows.
Those who pine for originality in frocks
are now hidden TO study sleeves OF every
period and then adopt the style most be-
coming to their curves or angles. for by

close-fitting sleeves of six years ago are ta-
booed.
A welI-made Medici collar gives to even
a simple gown a certain cachet unattain-
able in any other way. Smart little roll
ing collars are exceedingly difficult to
make exactly right. They are in great
vogue. Fur, in the form of capes, will be
much worn this winter. Single capes will
be most generally seen, although double
ones are provided for the very slender.
The newest of these garments are of Circu-
lar cut falling in full folds, though they
do not form a complete circle when spread
out fiat. Yorkes are seen on some capes,
but the most stylish are so cut that the
skins taper and fit smoothly across the
shoulders and fall plain over dropping
sleeves. Who does not sigh for one of the
new fur boas? They are indeed things of
beauty. Imagine one with a perfect cas-
cade of tails, row upon row-Some have
fourteen, seven hanging from each end.
OF course Russian sable boas are the most
beautiful and costly. Mink skins and the
fur of the stone marten are next in favor.
Muffs are all to be larger, and some have
fur Innings.
The Marie Antoinette muff is one of the
"extreme novelties of the season." being
more than yard in width. 1t is perfectly

drawn together.
This is to be decidedly furry season, no
costume being considered complete with
out fur about it somewhere.

each, are seen IN many Paris confection
Lace, white and creamy white, is much
used on winter garments, the applique
lace being much sought after.
A few days ago saw a simple but we'll
cut black silk cape transformed into de-
lightful affair by the addition of a very
deep pointed yoke-like collar of rare old
lace. A bunch of vlolets rested among the
creamy lace IN front, giving the necessary
touch of color, the cape being lined with
violet silk.
One of our bright girls has just had

handsome wrap by using for collar and
cuffs an old chlnchilla cape which she had

A London correspondent remarks with
much wit on the revelations made by the
disappearance of long skirts, and even
snort ones, due TO the bicycle craze. She
remarks: by degrees it becomes appa-
rent now very few women know how to
walk well. There is nothing like the long
skirt to conceal shortcomings in this re-
spect, and it is doubtful if the English
world at large has ever realized until this
autumn how very numerous these short
comlngs really are. The number of in
turned feet, of knock and bent knees,
OF bow legs, etc., is something truly

these shortcomings; for the most part their

FASHIONS FOR MEN.

A man even if in deep mourning at the
time of his marriage dresses the same as
he would were he not in mourning, as
there can be no mourning at we'd
ding ceremony. A mans conventional
wedding dress for day wedding is light
trousers, frock coat, patent-leather shoes,
pearl gloves, white four-in-hand or Ascot
tie, high hat and tie pin.
Fancy a man asking if spots can be worn
with Tuxedo or with full evening dress.
A groom may wear a white vest at an
evening wedding and plain gold or white
enamel cuff links and studs, but never sill
yer. Pearl buttons or natural pearls are
in better taste than either gold or enamel.
White waistcoats are only correct for
evening wear during the winter season,
and may be either double or single
breasted, shield shape. They are made of
duck, pique or white Marseilles.
All this winter heavy-soled tan shoes
and colored shirts with white collars will
be worn with morning dress.
Mixed cheviot is much used for heavy
frock coats. Double breasted frock coats
are very smart; the Duke of Marlborough
was frequently seen in one. Some have
been worn in New York of rough gray
homespuns.
Melton cloth overcoats are very stylish
and should be worn about an inch or lit
tie less below the knee.
Evening gloves are in best form when
stitched on the back in white.
Evening ties continue to be tied in
medium sized bows, which must be tight,
not stiff. 1t takes considerable practice to
tie bow correctly, and no man can learn
this art TOO early in life, as carelessness IN
this respect imparts slovenly air to any
man.
Good form demands care in stationery,
and I recommend, as rule, smooth, linen
finish, plain stationery. No longer should
envelopes be gummed. Seals are now en-
tirely used. Much care must be taken in
selecting correctly tinted wax. An odd

SUGAR DIFFERENTIAL,
The House Commattee TO Report a Bill
for lis Repeal.

Washington, Jan. 15.-The ways and
means committee to-day by a strict party
vote, agreed to report favorably the bill
abolishing the dnerential duty of one
tenth of a cent. per pound on sugar inn
ported from countries paying an export
bounty Those present were Representa-
tlves Wilson, Montgomery. Bynum, Whit
ney Stevens, Turner and Bryan; demo-
Gratis, and Reed, Hopkins and Dalzell, re-
pubhcans.
The vote on the bin was preceded by
running discussion, which consumed the
greater part of the session. The repub-
Leans opposed the bill. Their contention
was that BY passing such "a measure the
United states would be acknowledging
the claim of Germany that any legisla-
ton she may make in her country relat-
ing to her people can compel us to change
or modify our leg station respecting Ameri-
can citizens, or else break our treaty
stipulations. The republicans further con-
tended that this legislation in general re
lates TO all bounty paying countries, and
that If Germany puts herself in a position
which does not entitle her to the con-
sideration shown TO other countries, she
must stand the consequences.
Mr.. Bryan of Nebraska took substan-
TALLY the same view Of the case that the
republican members did, but when the role
was called he voted with his party asso-
ciates in favor of reporting the bill.
