one-half-inch wide lace edgings. The
organdies are in various delicate shades
with shall, isdistinct figures, and they
are pale blue, pink, cream, green or
other tint, which is perfectly matched
in the ribbons. From these the busy
fingers are fashi0ning corset covers to
be worn under the sheer shirt waists OF

cut in three pieces with seams only un-

THE COURT WAS ItNRSTY.

So 1t Overruled the Supreme Court
and Bought Itself q Drink.
! just as Shakespeare has been ac-
cepted for years and years as the de-
Gliding umpire in most matters literary,
SO the Nebraska people had grown to
look upon the supreme court of their
state as the fountain head of wisdom,
whose opinions could not be gainsaid.
1t is way people have of regarding
supreme courts in most states, as mat
ter of fact.
William Alstadt, little German,
whose readiest Identification among
his people was by the name of "Bis-
marck," was not one who cared over
much for Tradition, and one summer
day, after having been harangusd-by
two lawyers until he was almost burst
ing with thirst, he made decision
which brought him fame. 1t does not
make any especial difference what was
the question at issue. It was something
about dog. There was sensible side
to it and technical side. The "tech-
nicar' lawyer presented bushels and
tons of authorities, and finally wound
up with a triumphant declaration that
the supreme court lad decided on
similar case before and had decided his
way.
When he sat down, Bismarck, with
sigh of relief. said: II decide for de
oder feller. Come on, poys, let's dake
drink"
But" cried the defeated lawyer. in
astonishment, 81 tell you, your honor,
that the supreme court has decided ex-
actly opposite"
"My frient," said Bismarck, ''in shen-
cral 1 hat some sympathies nit dot
a fool of a lawyer dalkin' four hours.
I am mofcd to consult der good sense
and shudgment OF Bill Alstadt, j. P.
Bill Alstadt is not only Convinced, but
he is dirsty, and he decides dat if der
supreme court of Nebrasky wants to
make . tam fool off itself in a question
like dis it can do so, but dot aint bind
ing on dis shustice shop. Der supreme
court is hereby oferruled. Der plain
tiff gifts ter dog. and der court will now
proceed to spend der fees in. dis case
in a way dot his shudicial thirst sug-
gests, NIT great gordiality. Come on,
poys." - .5 ase4
Thus it was that the supreme court
was overru1ed. and as plain state
ment OF fact Justice Bill Alstadts de-
cision has always been followed in sim
liar cases brought in Nebraska tri-
bunals. In the same way@the half true
sucking dove theory is
susceptible of revision or reversal

Freedom Drought Consumption

The boon of emancipation from
slavery is said to be responsible for the
great increase in tubercular diseases
and insanity among the negroes OF the
southern states. While they lived in
slavery the negroes were compelled to
live sober and regular lives, but with
freedom their natural impulse to cx-
cesses asserted itself and they plunged
without restraint into vicious and riot
GUS habits. They have consequently
developed highly nervous consumP-
tive and alcoholic diathesis, which
makes them easily susceptible to dis
eases from which formerly they were
free. They are for the most part un-
able to withstand exciting causes, and
insanity is greatly on the increase
among them. Mortality returns show
that the rate of death from tuberculosis
among southern negroes is three times
as high as that among the whites

ALL KINDS OF SHIRT WAISTS:
The Latest II Like the Summer Gar
ment Worn by Men. = .- -

The Latest II Like the Summer Gar
ment Worn by Men. - -
The shirt waist of the present day is
striking example of what fashion can
do in the way of furnishing variety in
even comparatively small field for
operation. All the early rumors to the
effect that this seryiocable article sof
dress was to be relegated to the list
of questionable things certainly had
no foundation, if the hundreds of waists
of every sort and condition which fll
every available space in the shops and
appear on every other woman you meet,
are conclusive evidence of popularity.
The very latest and simplest shirt
waist of cotton, madras, zephyr, OF per-
Gale, is made almost like the summer
shirt worn by men, with plait in front,
pointed yoke in the back and very little
fullness in the.sleeves at the cuff, which
is plain, and fastens with link buttons.
The fashionable stock of black or
some fight color, or the high turnover
linen collars, are worn with this, and
also with silk, batiste and every other
kind of waist which caa~be. classed
with the shirt variety . $500
The genuine taffor-made shirt waist
il generally considered the best style,
for something in the cut, fit and finish
of it promptly stamps it as not in the
class of ready-made shirts. Yet the
latter have improved wonderfully in all
points which go to make them sue
cess. The fullncssin front Of the waist
made to order is arranged more on the
shoulder, and it is fitted more closely
under the arm, both of which points
help to make it more becoming to the
figure. Cotton waists of gingham in
stripes and decided plaids of rather
vivid colors are prominent in the dis
play, with many others of ribbed linen
and French batiste, striped with vari-
Gus colors and patterned over with rose
buds.
All the varieties Of linen batiste are
used for shirt waists some of the pref
tiest being those with embroidered
bodies and plain batiste sleeves. The
plain batiste bodice is usually orna-
mented with crosswise tNdks, forming
b yoke, or in groups over the entire
waist, with narrow lace frills on the
edge Of one tuck in each group.
Flowered organdie waistsleelth col
ored silk or dainty Innings are very
pretty, and corset covers in pale blue,
pink and green can be purchased. all
ready. to wear under any of these thin
waists. White 6mity shirt waists are
TO be much worn, and they have small
bishop sleeve and turned-over cuffs.
The prettiest white waists are made OF
wash silk or Liberty satin, with two
rows OF narrow lace insertion down
either side of the box pfait and group
of tiny tucks between.-Philadelphia

DID THORN CONFESS.
Captain Methven Says He Did, But
Mr. Howe Denies IL.

| NEW YORK, December MARTIN
| Thorn. who last evening heard the yer-
| dict of murder in the first degree by the
| jury, which will send him to the electric
| chair. TO expiate the murder Of William
| Guldensuppe, passed a quiet night in his
| cell at the Queens county Jail.
When Sheriff Doht went I'm to see Thorn
| this morning the condemned prisoner said
he had no appetite for breakfast. but he
felt that q big load was of his mind.
Thorn did not talk as If he had any nope
of getting a new trial He supposed, he
said. he would have to make up his mind
to meet the worst.
SOME DISCREPANCIES.
Police-Captain Methven, of Long Island
City. said to-day: There are some dis
Crepancies in the published report Of
Thorn's confession, but the main facts
remain unchanged Thorn made part of
the confession to me, and part TO Sheriff
Don't. From what Sheriff Doht told me, l
can truthfully say that Thorn confessed
that he killed GUidensuppe."
Lawyer Howe to-day denied I'm strong
terms the statement that Thorn. after
his conviction yesterday, confessed TO the
killing and dismemberment of Guldensup-
pc. Mr. Howe reiterated his belief that
the Court Of Appeals would reverse the
verdict.
MRS. MACK NERVOUS.
Mrs Mack spent a restless night, being
evidently affected by the conviction of
Thorn. When she heard Of the verdict
she wept and expressed sorrow for her
former lover, although she says her con-
science is relieved. Mrs. Mack is In a
highly nervous condition, and is now very
anxious about her own case. District-At-
torney Youngs has not announced just
what he purposes doing in the case of
Mrs. Mack, but says he will take no action
until after Thorn is sentenced.
1t is understood that Mrs Mack will be
arraigned in court next week. when her
counsel, Emanuel Friend, will in her be-
half. enter a plea of guilty Of manslaugh-
ter in the first degree and that the Dis
trict Attorney will accept the plea In
doing this, Mr. Youngs would recognize
Mrs. Nacks action in turning States |
evidence at the first trial. Mrs. Mack may |
be sentenced to twenty years imprison- |
ment
