Ever so many shades are seen on one
gown or single waist. The warfare of
the colors this season, says a writer in the
Puritan bids fair to be q merry one.
Scotch plaids and Roman stripes are so
self-assertive that little needs to be said
in their favor. Beautiful they certainly
are, and almost every woman in the land
will have gowns in each OF these striking
color combinations. On the other hand,
gray, in all tones and shades, is said to be
the color of the season. Paris has set
her approval on gray.

According to the Westminster Ca
zette," the School Board of Maryhill and
Possilpark, n. b., has given a most ex-
t~raordinary decision, viz, that mothers
are not parents. Some Episcopalian par
onts asked that their children might be
exempted from learning the Presbyterian
cathechisn1. The sapient board have
granted the request in all cases where the
father signed the request. and refused it
where only the mother had asked the

One of the Blue Cut Train Robbers Il
Arrested and Locked Up.


KANSAS CITY, Jan. 1-James +. Ken
nedy, leader of the trio of bold robbers
who held up and robbed the Chicago and
Alton east bound passenger train at Blue
cut, near Independence, last week, has
been run down and arrested by the local
police. He was taken at his homo at Crack
ernack, small place near the scene Of the
robbery, arrested and brought here, his
arrest not being known till his safe ar
rival in Kansas City
The detectives working on the case have
followed Kennedy since the day following
the robbery and made the arrest on the
strength of two SO bank notes in his pos
session, which were identified as those
taken from the express company's safe
The corners Of the notes had been torn off
in hurredly taking them from an envel-
ope. In the envelopes which were left be-
hind the missing corners were found, and
exactly fitted the bills found on Kennedy
Kennedy is about 2s years Of age and
says he is locomotive engineer, formerly
working on the Southern Pacific at Hous-
ton. He refuses to talk about the robbery
or to give any clew TO his pals. His arrest
is considered very important, as he is be-
lieved to have led the gang that held mp
the same train at the same place two
months ago IL will bo remembered that
the engineer of tho train described the
leader rs an engineer or some ono very

time his statement in reference to the
charges against President Gompers which
created the sensation at tho recent conyen-
tion OF the Federation at Cincinnati The

for tha purpose of using the Federation in

campaign. Mr.. McCraith, in his state
ment, says 1.-The charges were made by
Delegate Malone, and / was called upon
to substantiate them. AS the convention

knew they would have little eiloct. Among
the delegates, for instance, were John Nc
Bride, campaign manager of the labor end
Of the Democratic campaign, who could
not condemn Gompers without condemn

"Tho pecul'rrity Of tho Irish potato,
so called, is in the fact that it is not

perts Of the agricultural department.
'Tho potato originally grew wild in
the fields of Chile, Peru and Moxico.
Sir John Hawkins did not take it to
ireland until 1868. Sir Francis Drake
took it to England 90 years afterward.

anywhere else and got it's name, 10
doubt, because Of its carly and extensive
cultivation in Ireland. Botanioally il
was originally known as the Batata yir-

orly identified and classified as the So
lanum tuberorum. As Tho winter stock
is now being laid in, it may be well for
the inexperienced to be able TO select
good potatoes.
"Cut the raw potato in two and rub
the halves together. If tho moisture on
rubbing is soft and liquid enough TO

Farmers After Big Jake and His
Bandit Gang.
THE OUTLAWS STOLE MANY HORSES
Rendezvous Established In Wooded Caves
Hn the sourIand Mountains-Pursued by
Volunteer Police For Three Days-Ban-
dts Escape Across the State Line.

NEWARK, y. j., Jan. Back Of the
village Of Somerville, ~ j., in the dense
ly wooded caves and hollows of the Sour
land mountains, gang OF horse thieves
has established IA rendezvous, from which
they make incursiOns upon the neighbor-
ing villages and farms.
The existence Of the gang has been
known for some time Its leader is known
as Big Jake, who first appeared in Somer-
Vile eight months ago and who is said to
have served a term at the Trenton state
prison for burglary. His gang is made up
of local outlaws and criminals from other
places.
AT times it has numbered 15 but the
Somerville police say that now Big Jake
has only four companions.
Several efforts to dislodge the bandits
have been unsuccessful, and they have op-
Grated with exceeding boldness Their
method is TO steal horses, hide them i'm the
woods until the hue and cry Is over and
then take them over the mountains into
Pennsylvania and dispose of them.
On Tuesday they raided Plainheld. Ber
nard Witneberg, butcher, whose shop is
at Main street and lie Grand avenue, left
his horse and wagon in front of his shop.
The horse was a bay and very valuable.
When he went into his place Of business,
a man who had been lurking about the
corner for several hours in the morning
walked over. Half dozen inferior horses
were In the crowd. He picked out witne-
berg's united it, jumped into the wagon
and drove away.
Abandoned His Horse.
A few minutes before, in another part
of the town, James Gordon's and William
Martins horses were stolen in the same
way. Martin saw the theft, and the thief
abandoned his horse. Gordon's horse was
driven away. A neighbor who saw Witne
borg's horse stolen gave the alarm. The
act was at once recognized as feat of the
Big Jake gang.
Constable John keenan, organized q
posse and started in pursuit of the thieves
The trail was lost at Somerville. Or

though most thorough, the search wa
equally as fruitless

There is no doubt that the thieves hav,
