ject of Alteration.

ject OF Alteration.
There has always been a popular
idea that New York did not value beau
~ in its women as highly as style.
Gotham's feminine types are perfect in
their way. clear cut, high bred, we'll
groomed. and above all perfectly clad.
But they are not, as a rule, pretty, in
the sense that southern or western
man would use the term. II is in the
south that beauty reigns supreme and
a girl on the other side of the Mason
and Dixon line, be she ever SO rich,
clever or stylish. is not belle unless
she has also the divine gift But late
ly Gotham, untrue to tradition, has
been initiating the southern cities and
worshiping at the shrine of beauty.
Miss Marie Churchill is the honored
object OF this alteration. She is con-
ceded to be the most beautiful woman
in New York. She is prominent in
the more exclusive social circles, is a
woman of superior accomplishments
and a prime fayorite among the four
hundred. When the picture printed

A FAMILY AFFAIR.
Agnes Burns VIII Not Prosecute
Her Sister Lucy.

Some weeks ago there was a great
to-do in Justice Henry's court over the
trouble between daughters of the late
Peter Burns. Mrs. Doyle had been
arrested on a charge of assaulting her
sister Agnes with a deadly weapon,
consisting of an unupholstered spoke
from Wagon-wheel.
Three sisters and the mother were
arrayed against Mrs. Doyle and an
other sister, and family troubles and
chickering's were aired at a great rate.
So relentlessly We're the charges prose
cuted that Mrs. Doyle was held to an
swer before the Superior Court.
The anti-Doyle element of the fam
lily have had time to cool down, how
ever, and the desire to send their sis
ter to the State Prison had so abated
that yesterday District Attorney Ryan
was requested to ask for the dismissal
of the charge.
A motion to that effect was made in
Judge Harris court yesterday and
granted. The immediate cause of the
trouble was a dispute over the owner
ship Of a couple of plump chickens, but
there was much behind that.

CAUGHT IN THE ACT.
A Youthful Sneak Thief Landed in
Jail Yesterday.

a young man yesterday entered the
cigar store of Joseph Woods at 229 K
street and received permission from the
proprietor to visit the rear of the prem
ises. He came back in a few moments,
and as he was passing out Mr.. Woods
noticed a suspicious-looking bundle
under one Of his arms. To think was
TO act, and the proprietor of the store
at once seized the man and examined
the suspicious bundle.
The stranger had, it seems, taken off
his own coat and rolled in it the coat
and vest belonging to the cigar man,
which had been hanging in the rear
part of the store.
Captain Fisher and officer Maley ar
rested the thief, who, when taken to
the station, gave the name Of William
Smith. He admitted that the had at
tempted to steal the clothing. In his
pockets were found letters and cards,
which led the police to believe that his
true name is McDade.
1t was subsequently learned that
Smith, or McDade, disposed of a
nickel-plated watch earlier in the day
for the muniicent sum of % cents.

ADJUSTMENTS.

The Record Union was right, the
Spickett Company playing at the Met
ropolitan Theater was ill-cast Monday
night in piece not tempered to it's ord
err In the rafting comedy of "The
Private Secretary" as rewritten by
Grover, the Spickett Company came to
the front in good form and put up a
clever and enjoyable performance 1t
kept the audience in a roar of laugh
ter, and that was precisely why the
people attended, they wanted to be
amused and they We're. O'Hara did
thoroughly good comedy work. and De
Camp was happily cast for the devel-
opment of his fun-making capacity.
Mr.. King came to the front in as fine
bit of grotesque character acting as
Gillette ever conceived. Miss Mackin
in the role of an opinionated and sus-
ceptible old maid, was entirely success
ful, and proved what we held that she
would be found fully capable in lines
calling for less of the emotional and
sentimental. Miss Blanchard was
clever as the restless, fun loving daugh-
ter of the Squire, while Miss Webster,
a new face, was the soubrette of the
cast, piquant, pretty, agile and mirth-
provoking. All around the company
showed up far better, and the leaders
redeemed the promise of the manage
ment. Mr.. Spickett in the second act
was heard in humoros songs and was
recalled over and over again. Tonight
the company will present a charming
rural comedy with a right mingling Of

Tornado a purely scenic production.
at the Auditorium Thursday evening.
1t is nothing to go into raptures over.
The tornado scene in the first act was
tirst-class and brought forth generous
applause. Other scenes and situations
were good, but the piece is marred by
the introduction of several features
for the sole purpose of pondering to
morbid minds The dissecting room
scene, where man is supposed to APP
portion the body of his wife, who is un.
known to him, to his co-laborers for
dissection, is in exceedingly bad taste
and should be Kissed by every intelli-

Horses are cheap. In fact, it is diff

is i2 miles long secured green" team
the other day for $45. Two years ago
he bought team not a bit better than
the tam last purchased and gave 5000
for thr horses. Talking of his bargain,
the eXrressmn said to reporter:
Farmers on Long Island get fine
horses in the city for from $40 to 500
\ big horse which has gone lame
on the pavements of the city will come
around all right in a few weeks if let
to roam around pasture or barnyard.
The soft earth will permit his cracked
and feyered hoofs to mend. 1t would
not pay to keep the horse in the city,
so a truckman or any one of the big
express companies gladly sells hoof-
sore horse, no matter how sound he
may be otherwise, for a song.
Il prefer green teams, because can
break them more readily to my kind
of work. But $45 for such a team as I
bought the other day makes me
ashamed to look the horses in the face.
Why, I sold ST. Bernard pup two
months old not long ago for S60.'
