Nv York Firemen Have an Assistant
Who Is Worthy of a Pension.
From the New York World.
Jack, the black and white coacn dog
attached to hook and ladder company
No. 9, on Elizabeth street, near Prince,
has long held the record for being the
cleyerest and most faithful dog in the
Are DEPARTMENT. Recently he added to
his record the distinction of being
life-saver James Hogan, better known
as the Bowery Wonder, because every
hodv knows what he does for living,
owes his life to the sagacity of Jack.
Hogan spent Wednesday night at old
Military hall, 1913 Bowery, which con-
tains. besides a saloon on the ground
door and a barber shop in the cellar. a
dozen or more lodgerooms and a big
dancing hall on the second floor.
Whether Hogan had been dancing or
drinking he couldn't say yesterday, be-
cause he was asleep, but at any rate
he fell asleep on a bench in the dane
ing hall. His dreams were not disturb
ed by the knowledge that the chairs
and tables in the saloon downstairs
were feeding a fire that burned merrily
and gained Roadway every minute.
Policeman Farley of the Eldridge
street station discovered the fire at 3:15
a. m. and sent in an alarm. Within
minute hook and ladder No. was on
AMMAN Pat Hanberry broke open the
door and rushed through the hall to-
wards the stairs. The thick. black
smoke almost suffocated them and
they were driven back. Upstairs, how
ever, they could hear the shouts or Al
fred Sheppart, the janitor. and Hans
.Jergenson, a friend, who had been
awakened where they slept in one of
the rooms. The two came dashing
down the stairs to safety. Foreman
Kruger and his men were ready Tor a
second rush through the smoke. when
Jack, who never misses a fre, gave
loud yelp, and the next second headed
up the stairs and into the dancing
hall.
The room was full of smoke and the
sleeping Hogan was quietly choking Ia
death. when he was awakened from
his sleep by a sharp nip on one OF ms
legs. Then there was a steady pull or
trousers. and Hogan rolled off tbs
bench and landed on the floor. Bewil'
dered with the smoke and only hal
awake, he sought in vain for escape
-. he could distinguish n-thing in tbs
dark. But he could hear Jack barking
and could feel the dog pressing agains
him. SO he dimly realized that the in
telligent animal was trying to pusi
him along. Hogan caught the dog
and stumbling along through the DARK
ness with the animal found himself a
last in the hall. just as the firemen
warned by Jacks barking. reached tn

In THE NICK OF TIME
An Attempt Was Made to Burn the
Beautiful Opera House.
ONLY SLIGHTLY DAMAGED
william Larkin Badly Used Up In
an ARRAY at kibbey-Rumors
of Changes In the O. N.
Official Corps.

Great Falls, Jan. 5.-A dastardly at
tempt was made last night to fire the
opera house. While Manager Harrison
of the Hammond Lumber company,
was passing the structure which stands
by itself on Third street and First
avenue north, his attention was at
tracted by a light in one of the rear
basement windows. He FASTENED to the
window and finding the frame part of
the sash afire, lost no time in turning
in an alarm. The department extin-
guished the flames with a few buckets
of, water. The origin of the f1re was
soon discovered. A smoulderfng WICK
from a large lamp well saturated with
kerosene and fastened between the up
per and lower sash told the story. Ii
was plainly the work of firebug.
Fortunately the damage was practical
ly nothing.
If the incipient blaze had not been
discovered in the nick of time the dis
astrous fire of Friday would have been
repeated. The police are sparing no
effort to trace the matter to IT'S source,
but have met with little encourage
ment. Many incline to the belief that
1t was the work of mischievous boys,
holding that a professional firebug
would have waited until early this
morning before applying the torch. The
affair created considerable excitement,
and will result in increasing the Wig
ilance of the police and the hre
department.
The county attorney has received a
meager account of an affray which
took place at Kibbey, 40 miles south
east of here, during which William
Larkin, a well-known citizen or thls
community, was hit on the head WITH
an iron bar and had his nose broken
His assailant is en- route to the county

ing the front as a guide for the check.
To get the latter on the cross, in the
first instance open the material to its
full width, and fold over one corner,
gauging the angle required by the front
skirt pattern and taking care at the
same time to carry this center fold down
the middle of a continuous line of
checks. Now use the other portion of the
pattern for the right side, laying this on
the material in such fashion that the
side joining the front width matches,
or very nearly SO, the broken checks of
the shaped front width, the left side
being worked out in a similar manner.
At the back the checks have of necessity
to take care of themselves, but the folds
there should hide any little discrepan-
cies which may arise. Checks and
stripes, indeed all patterned materials,
are something of an extravaganza, as
the designing of the pattern, in the first
instance, and it's application, in the sec
ond, mean both time and money. In con-
clusion the advisability is urged of lay
ing selvedge of the foundation silk or
linen to the front edge of the back
breadths, as this helps to support the
bias seam.
Now for our third and last model,
which is of novel construction, with
folds on either hip, while the front
breadth just plaits over sufficiently
either side to suggest the idea of a box
plat. 1t is capital skirt for silk bro
cade or thin materials.
There are several ways of modelling
this skirt, but none equals a pattern in
five pieces, using for each godet a sep
arate breadth Of silk. By this method
alone is it possible to insure the straight
ness of the material running down the
center of each fold, and unless this is so
the chances are great that the entire
skirt will have lopsided appearance.
It is not of an excessive width at the
base, although the we'll set out and
pronounced godets give it very full
and handsome appearance. A band Of
elastic about three-quarters of an inch
wide put some IL inches from the
edge holds all in place, while an inter-
lining IA inches deep is all sufficient
for front and sides, although up the
three back godets it might be carried to
within or 10 inches of the waist. 1t
is usual to shape and attach the inter
lining to the lining SO that the top edge
of the former can be caught and held in
position; otherwise this is very apt to
drop and so ruin the entire symmetry of
the skirt.

ried from $40 for small kitten of
doubtful points to $40 or $50 for the
prize-winning beauties of catdom.
Of course, these cats and kittens are
not new; they have been known to
fame for centuries. But the present fad
for them is quite new, and no one need
be surprised on entering a fashionable
woman's boudoir to see a ball of fluffy
cotton on the floor, which, on investi-
cation, will resolve itself into a long
haired and 1ong-tailed Angora.
They are not all white; in fact, they
are to be had in all the colors and stripes
of ordinary cats. The white ones are
the most valuable, and the beautiful
Cray and white come next. Long hair,
beautiful eyes, and the fine bushy tails,
which sometimes grow to an astonish-
ing size, are the principal character
istics of these fashionable pets. At the
Exchange for Woman's Work they have
received several requests to hunt up
well-conducted and pedigreed Angoras,
and the new industry seems to be
quite thriving.
The cats are very clever. Many Of
them are used in trick animal troupeS,
and a great deal can be taught them.
AS in the matter of pets, here again the
white ones are the favorites, being more
effective on the stage. \ fancier who
deals largely in small pets, and es-
pecially cats, says he has now several
orders for Angoras for exhibition pur-
poses. One man has ordered two, which
are now on thei~ %|ay from Paris, and
if they, too, prove a success, six more
will be imported for the same pur-
pose.
The principal places from which the
cats come are London, Paris and diff
ferent parts of Germany. Many are
raised here, and the kittens are sold
when quite young, but they are risky
purchase, being rather difficult to raise.
The hair grows longer with time, some
times growing quite bushy on cat
which lives to revered old age, IL
years or little more being the length
of life allotted these little pets. But to
choose ones favorite for the length and
beauty of it's hair is an obvious mistake,
for it necessarily means less years in
which to enjoy its society.-N. Y. Her

NEW DRESS SKIRTS.

Three of These Are Described For the Az
sistance of Amateur Dressraakers.
From Paris, whence most smart
things emanate, it is learned that the
gOdet skirt this year will be diferentiat-
ed from that of the past by each breadth
having bias and a straight side instead
of being sloped up at either edge. These
examples are selected for considera-
ton. First, useful, all round pattern
for every day wear, with wide shaped
front width and marrow back, a seam
running up the center of the latter and
the fullness at the top laid in two single
fiat box plaits.
With so inch material, lay this pat
tern on the width way of the stuff, open
ing the latter for the purpose, and care
fully pressing out the fold; otherwise,
the only way is to place the fold of the
material down center front, and join
sefvedge 20 selvedge until the required
width is achieved. This method answers
admirably with % inch striped silk.
In the double box plated back you
have a resuscitated fancy, and one that
rings a welcome change from the ubiQ-
uitOus triple arrangement of godet OF
plat.
AS plaid and checked materials are
already putting in something more than
tentative appearance, some directions
for arranging a skirt of these will be
welcomed by many. As the majority of
both skirts and bodices appear to be on
the cross way Of the material, that
method has been selected for description,
and at the same time gives another ex-
ce1lent pattern, which might almost be
described as merely the reverse of the
last model. That means you have again
skirt in two pieces, only here the mar
row breadth comes to the front and is
united to 4 wide umbrella back. AL
though it is possible for an average fig
ure to get this skirt out of a 46 inch
material, used width way, and without
the join permitted by some workers at
the edge of one of the wide backs, still
a 90 inch cuts to much better advantage.
as the pieces can be dovetailed more
closely. Each individual portion of this
skirt has to be worked out by itself, tax
