IN THE FISHING PORT.

Down by the sea-wall going.
Where the bare-legged babies play,
Where the tides are always flowing,
And the dories rock all day.
Over the edge Of the breaker.
Far out across the bay,
White acre after acre
You see the foam Ureaths play.
White as the foam-wreaths flying
Between the blue and the blue,
The sails of the ships are lying
Smitten by sunshine through.
TIL the darkness falls and the shadows
Slip on from sky to sky,
And over the dim sea-meadows
The winds begin to sigh.
And the stars In their shrouds OF sorrow
Drown slowly spark by spark,
While the shattering surges borrow
Their glimmer Of ghostly cark.
And the brow Of the storms pale anger
Leans up the sea. and bark,
What voices and cries and clangor
Leap out Of the deep and the dark!
Then with heavenly soft erasure
or all the ruin and rack.
The morning with rose and with azure
Sweeps over the tempest track,
And, the glass by wan hands lifted
From house-top and window crack.
The wild of the wave Is sifted
For the sail that comes not back
For the wife forsakes her pillow
For the phantom that shoreward creeps.
And the lad feels the call Of the billow
Cry to him while he sleeps,
A part of the mighty tillage
That death the deathless reaps.
The heart Of the fishing village
Beats out on the sunlit deeps.

The most elegant evening cloaks are long
loose garments plated into a yoke, and
made both with and without sleeves.
Sleeves are preferable. however. since they
are large enough to be easily put on and off
and so much warmer.
Velvet, satin and smooth cloths are the
popular materials, and black satin lined with
rose color makes an especially desirable
evening wrap. Black peau de sole is also
used, with sling sleeves and pointed collar,
trimmed with Jet and beaver.
Another model carried out in black velvet
has 4 high collar and yoke embroidered
with Jet and gold and a trimming OF lace
and sable over the shoulders. Any of tn

It Is singular how greatly people enjoy
going 70 the theater in the autumn. 1t is
not too hot and 1t is not too cold; they
have not seen play for many weeks: it Is
the thing on first arrival in town tc "do
, the theaters," and those who return TO the
country are able to tell their friends at the
fret dinner party at which they meet, all
about the new pieces and what they think
Of them. which makes a variation in local
topics. Little theater parties are made up
on the spur OF the moment, sometimes pre-
ceded by a dinner, sometimes followed by
supper at one of the hotels or at Del's.
This month Is not noted for its dinner
parties. but rather for it's sociable little
dinners of from six to eight guests. and to
whom short notice is given. varying from
week to two days, according TO clrcum-
stances. Again. friendly afternoon teas

The domestic side OF life comes much to

important point in connection with the

A MERCANTILE CHANGE.



An important change in the mercantile
circles Of town took place to-day by the sale
Of the business Of Mr. Max Schmidt to his
brother Mr. W. Frank Schmidt. The latter
took charge this morning and has taken steps
to make changes that will put the house fore
most in the department line of trade
Mr.. Max Schmidt conducted a dry
goods department, but his successor
will close out that part and conduct the
establishment purely on the general depart
ment line, much the same as the leading de-
partment stores Of the large cities are con-
Quoted Mr. Frank Schmidt has had many
years experience in business in this town and
will undoubtedly make his new venture a
success, as he is energetic, enterprsing
and progressive and none know better
what the people Of the place want than he
does. Much of his attention will be devoted
to novelties and in this respect he expects to
eclipse anything ever offered in this county.
His store is oxcellently adapted for the bust
ness.
Mr.. Max Schmidt retires from business here
to look after his interests in the Eagle
Brewery, at Shamokin, in which he became
interested several months ago. but he still
retains his property here. He will move to
Shamokin about the first of October. In
leaving town Mr.. Schmidt takes with him an
enviable record During the many years OF
his business career in town he has always
ranked among the formost and socially he
has always been esteemed, so that Shamokin
will have added to her residents one to whom
she may extend cordial hand.

Result of "A Fight.

A grudge of long standing which has existed
between John Rock and Lincoln Richardson,
both Of North Market street, came to a close
last night. Richardson, who was under the
influence of liquor, hit boy named Ellis,
with whom Rock is boarding. Rock became
enmged at this and struck Richardson in the
face with his fist, who ran into the street and
picked up piece of glass to protect himself.
His opponent again attacked him, and after
the conflict was over, Richardson was suffer-
ing from two bad cuts, one under the lower
lip about an inch and half in length, and
the other under the chin about the same
length. Richardson does not know whether
he was stabbed or not, but several of the
neighbors who witnessed the afIray, say that
the wounds were inflicted by shoemaker's
knife. The victims face is terribly swollen

D. Bogart, Superintendent of Public Schools
of Shenandoah, was brought here by Detective
John J. Toole, of Shenandoah, on 'informa-

rape upon Clara Yates, girl of Knoxville,
Penna., where Professor Bogart was
formerly superintendent of schools. Upon
being taken before Alderman McMaster, Prof.
Bogart waived hearing. BGil was fixed in
the sum of g., 500 and promptly furnished.
Prof. Bogart said he would not waste time
before the Alderman and would be ready to
meet his accusers at any time in court.
The sentiment in Knoxville is strongly in
favor of Prof Bogart. The people here can
clearly see that there is a conspiracy against
him James Smith, of Shenandoah, is looked
upon as the instigator of the trouble. He
was here yesterday at noon and seen in COM
pany with the father of Clara Yates. 1t is be-
lieved that Smith has undertaken to push
the case as prosecutor upon information re-
ceived and will induce the father of the girl
to appear in court There is no doubt that
strong pressure is being brought to bear upon
the father of the girl to take a hand in the
case. Prof. Bogart has come out Of the
matter all right thus far and there can be no
doubt that he will completely defeat his
enemies in court.
