A Novelty In Gloves.

A genuine novelty in gloves is nov city indeed, but here is one. It con- sists of white, black or cream suede fas- tening with four buttons on the suede portion and scalloped at the edges. But to the kid are attached armlets beau tifully embroidered in silk cord net, the designs being applique butterflies in the kid ornamentally outlined with the cord. The net is worked as a scallop at the top and drawn in to the size of the arm with d satin ribbon. The black display cream embroidery. and they are most ornamental. The junction of the net and the kid is defined rith silk cable, repeated on the back of the hand, and an additional button to fasten the wrist is introduced on the lace.

deal of service. With it she wore a shirt waist and natty belt, and drew that belt in so that she measured just lS inches about the waist. Her sailor hat was tilted over her face, and her hair was arranged in the latest fashion.
 The wife of a millionaire may be ab- solutely ignorant of it, but the sou brette and the shopgirl can always ar range their locks after the latest fash ion and always seem to know how to do it without being taught. But 1t was at the waist and the feet of the soubrette that one must look to see her charm. No matter how shabby her skirt, her shoes were as bright as possible and her black silk stockings were in the best

the top that it causes the clubmen to wonder how she ever gets into it. It must be said that neither a shoehorn nor a glove buttoner is used for this purpose.
 Her bodice is the new blouse jacket, which looks as if it were cut out of one piece, because of its fulness, and yet which is fitted in some mysterious way, since it makes the waist look smaller and brings out the breadth of the hips and the shoulders. That she must wear very short stays. preferably those made of straps of ribbon. such as Yvette Guilbert fancied is known to the good dresser, and she does not mar her en- tire appearance by assuming the long English corset that would take away all shape from the new jacket. An American girl, better than any other can wear this new bodice because she has the figure for it. Her English cousin is too long and too flat Her French cousin is too short and too much in- clined to be luinpy
 The American girl is seldom over me- dium size, extremely well shaped about the hips. achieves the line of beauty that Henner taught us must exist in the feminine back, and has q small bust Her feet are small and well shaped Shod to perfection, and any American seeing this exponent of good form should feel like rushing up to her, tell ing her how he admires her and how vain he is at heart of the American girl
 The American girl is the woman of the century about whom everybody talks. She is what Rudyard Kipling calls "knowledgeable"- is to say, cIn ic 4x sl. "A need to be told anything twice. The shrill voice to which her cousins from over the sea used to object has be- come subdued The wearing of expen- sive jewelry on the street has been giv- en the go by by this well bred girl, and the curious inquisitiveness, really a form of chiidishness and a funny de- sire to know, has become absolutely nil, since she sits placidly and permits herself to be informed.
 She doesn't eat any more sweets than any other woman, and she is hundred times more interesting to man than either French or an English woman When she gets married, she loves her husband and her babies, and you sell dom see in her household the violent and lasting quarrels that are by no means uncommon in English homes. She is worth a great deal more to her coun- try than either the Declaration of h. dependence or the tariff bill And if her own country doesn't appreciate her, then some other will, and she will be taken off in the night and disappear as mysteriously as do most other bless ings. So it's just as well for the Amer ican men to be considerate of her, for she is we'll worth it, and, after all, as financiers our men are great ones for looking out for the value of things.
 A picturesque figure is missing from the streets. It is the soubrette. She has gone to join her company on the road, but I regret her beautiful audac- ity and her happy little face. It was saucy face, but not a wicked one. The soubrette doesn't seem to know much, but she utilizes what knowledge she has in a decidedly fascinating way. During the summer she had on. nine times out of ten, dark blue or black skirt that had been pressed and sponged mended and altered, and evidently seen great

More over, the linen is far more durable and washes so well that it is really an eco nomical investment. Another style of decorating a cot and basket is with pink linen embroidered with marguerites, and this is quite as pretty in it's way.

 With regard to the first reason, it is well known that any attempt on Sir Henry's part to train up an actress to play Miss Terrys roles is invariably met with the most strenuous opposition on the part of that very admirable wo- man and actress, whose professional

 She was always laughing-she laugh ed as she was drinking soda water be- cause it was so cool and she laughed when she was eating clam chowder be- cause it was so hot. She didn't seem to have a care in the world, but, dear soul, we don't know what her cares were!

 The relations of Sir Henry and Miss Terry have been considerably strained for some time, and it is said that the nonrenewal of Miss Arthur's engage ment was the condition of Ellen Terrys complete accord as far as the future is concerned.
 As for the second reason advanced as the cause of Miss Arthur's nonengage- ment it is we'll known that her success at the Lyceum theater in New York would hardly have sufficed to set the Thames on fire or set the audience ablaze with enthusiasm. being in fact very moderate one.

And I give sigh and wish that next summers sunshine may look down on the little soubrette and find her as merry as ever, and on the heavy villain with the clearest of consciences.

 Now Miss Arthur is sure to contra- diet the above in toto. The loyalty that Sir Henry Irving inspires in all those who have served him is astonishing, un- til one has observed the kindness and patience with which he treats all his young and aspiring colleagues.
 There is no reflection in the above on either Miss Arthur or Sir Henry and the professional jealousy of Miss Terry perhaps is only natural 10 an old and fayorite actress, who objects to being supplanted in public favor and esteem by young and attractive asprant for her shoes.

A Contemplating seoundrel canght

About three years ago, man giving
his name as I. Betiner, who claimed to
be horse dealer, took up quarters at the
Bellemont House in this city, under the
of horses in few days, which were to
arrive by railroad from the West. After
the lapse of several days, he showed a
telegram stating that the stock would
arrive on the midnight train Of that day.
He represented that money that he had
expected had not arrived, and borrowed
$50 from landlord Savage with which to
assist IN paying the freight, and also Dor
rowed his gold watch SO that he would
know the time the train was due, that he
might look after the horses.
That was the last Savage saw or heard
of the man, the money and the watch,
until last Thursday, when Bettner appear.

Deafneas Cannot be Cured

By local applications as they cannot reach
the diseased portion Of the ear There is
only one way to cure deafness, and that
is by constitutional remedies. Deafness
is caused by an infiamed condition Of the
mucous lining Of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube is infamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed, Deafness is the
result, and unless the Inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored TO its
normal condition, hearing will be destroy

caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but
an infiamed condition OF the mucous sur.

Robbery and Attempted Murder.


Last Saturday afternoon, Frederick
Stoltenburg, German, 80 years old, en-
ployed at Gershom L. Eyes, two miles
below this city, came to town to make
some purchases. Here he met VIM. Glea.
| son, alias Sullivan, tramp that had heen
discharged from The Mercer Co. work
house that morning. During the evening,
Stoltenburg bought pair Of shoes at
Hunts shoe store, and put them on. At
ter running around the town together,
the two men appeared at Cavanaugh's
saloon, 10 the First Ward, about eleven
o'clock
Stoltenburg says he left Gleason there
and came up town. Later on he started
for home. When he had reached the
quarries below the railroad crossing, two
men came out OF the side of the road to-
ward him and demanded his money. One
OF them, Gleason, threatened to kill him
with a razor, which he held in his hand,
II he did not surrender his money forth
with. Stollenburg put his hand in his
pocket and drew out a pocket knife with
which he defended himself against the at
tacks OF his asssilant. The man that
accompanied him, whose name is said to
be Murphy, also graduate OF the County
workhouse, jumped on his back, while
Gleason slashed him in the face with his
razor. He was terribly cut in the face
and neck, and finally became unconscious
from loss OF blood. His pockets were
ritled, the new shoes taken off his feet,
and his body thrown down the side of the
road over the rocks, toward the canal,
distance OF ten feet. There he lay I'M
conscious until about four O'Clock il the
morning, when he became conscious aud
managed 10 crawl or stagger to Eyes,
about two miles away.
Medical aid was at once sent for and
he was thought to be in precarious con-
ditlon. Forty.two stitches were taken in
his neck and face in sewing up the cuts
lnulCleu ny llc razor, lie WAS taken 10
st. Frances Hospital, Trenton, on Mon
day, aud is in a fair way Of recovery
should blood poisoning not set in.
Gleason was seen in this city on Sunday
morning, suffering from some severe cuts
on his arms and a stab in his left chest.
He explained his wounds by saying that
negro had attacked him. Later, however,
he was arrested, and the evidence adduc
ed at the hearing before Justice Lyman,
on Monday afternoon, showed conclusive
ly that he was the man that did the cut
ting. He also had on the new shoes stol-
en- from the feet of Sloltenburg. He was
committed to Pennington Jail without
bail Policeman Morse took him up yes
terday.
Murphy, the other man implicated in
the attack, has not been heard from.
Gleason is vicious looking fellow and
is a dangerous man to be loose, especially
when drunk.
