FASHION LETTER.

The Winter Season Finds It's Special FadO

Especial New York Correspondence
One of the most fashionable dress
skirts of the season is shaped with the
front and side breadths narrow at the
top and faring broadly from the knee
down. In the back are three umbrella
cores, so narrow at the top that a sim
gle box plait adjusts them to the belt.
These gores-one in the center and
one on each side-increase the width
as they near the hem, and are various
ly intcrlined to suit individual tastes.
The ''penwiper" skirt is the latest
name for this distended model. On

DIR. DICKASON ARRESTED.
a Physician Who Recently Located Here
Taken in for Drunlzenness.

H. A. Dickson, physician who re-
Gently moved here from Colorado was
arrested by the police yesterday after
poon intoxicated. When officer FoIkes
arrested him he was at the fruit stand
near the court house and said the entire
police force couldn't make him go home.
This was an imputation the force couldn't
stand and Dickson found himself in
prison in a very few minutes.
Dickson spent most of the afternoon
in raving and swearing, but quieted down
by o'clock and was released on deposit
of $40. This morning he was in the
court room ready for trial and reintoxi-
Gated.
He is a tall man at least 90 years of
age and wears a silk hat and an elegant
gold headed cane. His attempts to cross
examine the witnesses would have been
ludicrous had they not been so pitifuL
He insisted his malady was nervous de-
bility and not drunkenness. Jailor Dis
brow was quite certain he had not
smelled any nervous debility on the pris-
oner.
During the progress Of the trial Dick
asoE took from his pocketa pint bottle of
whisky more than hals full and declared
that he had a barrel cf thirty gallons in
his cellar. The court took charge of the
bottle.
Judge Ferry declared that Dickson
was in no condition to testify and post
pone9 the trial until tomorrow morning.
Dickson was taken out into another
room to be searched, and q gold watch
and over thirty dollars, most of it in gold.
was found on his person. He tried hard
to conceal some opium he had, but the
police took it away from him and locked
him up till he should get sober
Dickson is a man that bears the marks
of responsibility still.

A CLEVER PEDDLER.
He Not Only Cleared Himself But
Nearly Sold Out Right in Court.

He Not Only Cleared Himself But
Nearly Sold Out Right in Court.
Judge Ferry and Attorney Hungate
came near being victims to their own
curiosity in police court this morning.
L. Dub and Frank Long. two young
men who said they were from Kansas
City. were arrested yesterday for ped
ding spectacles without the necessary
license. Long was first arrested, and
said his partner Dub had the license.
Dub as arrested, and showed a license
issued by the city clerk to Long s. Dub
The men were held and tried today.
During the progress of the trial Dub,
who is a short, red-haired German of
thirty, disclosed some startling facts
about the spectacle business.
81 have been peddling spectacles in
this way for eight years." he said, sand

There was imminent danger that Dub
was going to sell the court and attorneys
as well as the policemen glasses, if he
wasn't stopped soon, and Mr.. Hungate
decided that the license business was a
mistake of the deputy clerk and had
the case dismissed

A VERY LIGHT VOTE.
Fellows Elected Mayor By $500
Majority.
HALF The REGISTERED VOTERS
Did Not SO 10 the Polls, and the Elec-
ton Was Extremely Quiet.

Did Not SO 10 the Polls, and the Elec-
ton Was Extremely QuIeI.
As was anticipated. there was an I'M
usually light vote yesterday and there
were almost 1000 voters who registered
and then did not go to the polls.
As it was, the entire Republican ticket
was elected, and if mere of the votes had
been brought out the majority would
have been larger. The fight made by
r B. Kepley, the Democratic nomines
for city clerk, had the effect of reducing
the majority of the Republican nominee.
The fright in the First Second and
Fifth wards about tho result of the coun-
Gilman contest was found to be i'll
founded All the Republican nominees
were elected, though Skinner in the
First ward was deserted by great many
Republicans and his majority was re-
duced to less than 200, although Fellows
carried the ward by over 600 In the
Second ward Stevens was elected by 365
and in the Fifth the colored candidate,
Fred Roundtree, carried the ward by
over $50.
The exact number of female votes cast
will not be known until the vote is. cam
vassed, but it is estimated that not over
one-fourth of the vote registered was
cast.
The following table shows the vote as
registered:

THE COMING SHOWS.
The "Blaek Crook" and "OId Tennessee
Will Finish the Week.

Tomorrow afternoon and night the
"BIack Crook" in all its scanty splendor
will be at the Grand. The "Black Crook"
has visited Topeka before, and always
attracted a certain class of theater- goers
that like to see what are known as spec
tacles. 1t abounds in pretty costumes,
dances and singing, and carries with it
a great deal of scenery. The ballots
and specialties are its principal features.
It is said the company carries fifty peo-
pie. 1t has been playing about through
Kansas for some little time to very good
business. The matinee will begin at
2:3O o'clock and the prices have not been
advanced for either performance. There
is a good advance sale so far.
The coming of the new play "In Old
Tennessee" to the Grand for three per-
formances-Friday night and Saturday
afternoon and nights looked forward
to with a great deal of interest by thea
ter goers who are always looking for
something new. Mr. Crawford saw it in
Denver aud was captivated to the extent
that he has concluded to play it over his
entire circuit 1t has ia 1t great many
plantation scenes, and carries besides
the actors in the piece large number of
specially people, mostly colored, who do
song and dance work. Ernest Hogan,
who used to live in Topeka is doing a
good deal OF the singing specialties and
will sing some new songs in Topeka.

HE Is A GOOD HYPNOTIST.
But He Doesn't Make the Right Sort OF a
Bluff to Win an Audience.

Prof. Connect, who is filing the week
at the Bijou, is really clever hypnotlst
but unfortunately he is not having very
big audiences. Prof Connect is one of
Prof. Flint's pupils and Flint spoke very
highly of him when he was last here.
Connects entertainments are not near
ly so entertaining as Flints. He is too
honest. He is too new in the business
to make his show go with snap as
Flint does He makes the mistake of
lecturing. Flint knows that people don't
want to know things, they want to see
them. Connect is not much of talker
and he rather spoils his entertainment
by making a lecture of it. He will get
over that after while as Flint did and
then he will make money. He is as pow
erfuI as Flint but he hasn't the cOnf1d-
ence in himself.
There is another big difference be-
tween Flint and Connect that is in the
formers favor so far as an audience Is
concerned Connect does the bare feat
of hypnotizing without any trimmings.
Flint did a good deal of what might be
called sgrand stand play" He made a
great fuss about hypnotizing a man and
the audience thought it was great and
wonderful Connect does the work so
easy and with 80 few furbelows that the
audience concludes he has his subject in
MS pay. OOuuCkt 10 " 70 eAO 49,
ter hypnotist some day, but Flint is the
smarter man and knows more about
human nature in an audience. He
makes himself a hero in their eyes,
while Connect brings himself to their
level and then has difficulty in making
them believe he is really above them.
Though it is an established fact lots of
people are not yet ready to swallow hyp-
| notism at short range.
The tricks Connect did last night we're as
! good as Flint's, but they were done toe
! easy. When Flint hypnotised man he
| went through lot of motions and talk anc
| business with his eyes. Last night Con
nett did away with all that, and after he
had told the subject to do so and SO, he
/ did it He threw a young woman vol
unteer into the cataleptic state, and ther
stepped on her. 1t was perfectly homes
of course, but he did not properly i'm
press the audience with its greatness anc
lots OF the effect was lost II Comet
had the managerial idea Flint has, he
would be greater hypnotist than Flint
He will finish the week at the Bijou.
