An ALARM or FIRE.-The alarm OF
ire at an early hour this morning was
caused by the commotion raised IN the
northeastern part OF the city by the dls'
covery that house in which some
furniture had been stored had been en-
tered. 1t was subsequently learned
that small colored boy named Harry
jackson had committed the deed and
he WAS captured and q harp taken
from him. This morning he was order
ed to be locked up in the station house
for forty eight hours. The boy, who is
about twele years of age, has been an
annoyance for long time. His father,
Aaron Jackson, was recently tried IN
the Corporation Court on the charge OF
numbering his child. The boy is too
small for the chain gang, in fact, toe
young to be responsible for his deeds,
and though his parents have whipped
him at the station house on more than
one occasion he persists in stealing
whenever he sees an opportunity.

Lenten season should be so emphatically
a time when thoughts of dress I'll women's
minds but always with the ushering in of
Lent the now fashions are put on exhibit
ton and the shops are crowded with women
choosing material for spring and summer
wear, says Harpers Bazaar
The cloth costumes receive the most at
tention just at present, for they are the
ones that will first make their appearance.
and while 1t is not positively necessary to
have q new gown for Easter Sunday, every
truthful woman will admit that a fresh
spring costume is most useful, and, of all
the gowns OF the year, the most satisfac-

There have been mnay reports to the eff
feet that silk waists and fancy waists of
all kinds were not to be fashionable any
longer, but the leading tailors say they are
making few II any, cloth waists to match
the skirts that the skirt and coat alike
are to have a separate silk waist, just as
last year. or course the styles of the
waists are different in many essential
points.

all made after one model; there are three
