# You know anybody who has a pair
OF old fashioned lace lappets, says a
fashion writer, you may recommend
her to utilize these in tho following
fashion: On the next evening or dinner
gown the lapDets may begin almost
touching each other at the waist, and,
gradually parting, form . trimming
down the front II the skirt, ending il
immense quadruple bows Of satin rib

other way, as The cookery looks say,
line the lappets with velvet or satin Ct
some bright color and turn them into
bretelles, crossing the shoulders and
meeting just above the waist, back and

BIGAMISf HILL is INSANE
Found Guilty and Will Be Com

Distressing Scene In the Cour;-
oon-Prisouer Seized With Epi-
ieptic Fits During the Trial.

Heary o, alias Ollie H. Hill, charged
with bigamy, was yesterday declared in
sane by the jury in criminal court No. l..
Hill, who on two previous occasions has
been seized with epileptic fits in the court
house for trial, yesterday again threw the
court into confusion by going off on one
of his attacks. He was seated quietly In
his chair hearing the information against
him read, when suddenly he gave a violent
scream, aud springing up i'll the air ieil
back rigid In the arms of three bailiffs
He then struggled SO furiously that IL was
all the three men could do to hold him.
The judge then directed that he be placed
in the witness room adjoining, where he
could hear the testimony, but if he should
lie again seized could be more easily con-
troiled. 1t was well indeed that this
piecaution was taken, for the unfortunate
man had two more attacks, his shrieks
reouudlng piteously through the court
room.
Hills first wife, whom he married sew
eral years ago, refused to give her evil
dence against him, but Leona Locke, the
oolored woman to whom he was married
as did Rev. DR.. Mcintosh, the colored
minister who united them.
When the evidence for the Government
was all in, Attorney Truitt for the defense
called DR.. c. NJ EmInons to the stand
as an expert witness. The latter testified
that persons suffering from epilepsy often
had lapses of memory, lasting from one
minute to several months, during which
the victims, while acting and talking
nationally, were out of their minds and
" hen they recovered had not the slightest
remembrance OF what took place during
their alterations. When asked where
would he the proper place for the prisoner.
he replied the insane asylum. Dr l. c.
Rose, another expert, gave similar test
mony.
The case was given without argument
to the jury who, after half an hours S
deliberation, returned a verdict Of guilty,
but found that the defendant is at pres

The regular Monday session OF the Metho

1t was expected that DR.. Corey would

THE AIR MOTOR FAVORED.
Commissioners Not Yet Ready,
However. to Render Decision.


Superintendent Mcfarland, detailed by
the Commissioners to make thorough liz
vestigation into the pTacticability of the
Hoadiey Knight air motor, made his re-
port, which 1t is stated is favorable in
every respect, to his principals, yesterday
morning, and it is probable that action
one way or the other will be taken by
the board within few days.
The position of the Commissioners with
regard to the matter s a very delicate
one. On the one hand they have the
fact that with the possible exception of
New York, no city has as yet adopted
air as satisfactory motive power for
street railways Added to this they
have tile strenuous objections which have
been filed against the equipment OF the
lexington and Soldiers Home Railway
with the air motors, by residents along
the line.
Opposed, there is the great need of
the sections of the city through which
this line passes for rapid transit, the
favorable report Of the Commissioners rep
resentative and the cheapness OF the pro-
posed system.
This last tenn is of considerable i'm
portance, as the Commissioners appreciate
the fact that the capital stock or the
lexington and Soldiers Home Railway is
comparatively SMALL and probably could
not stand the outlay necessary for an
electric or cable plant.
Whatever the decision of the Contnis-
sioners may be, 1T was stated by Com
missioner Black yesterday that it VIII
be taken only after mature deliferation
and consideration of the matter from
every point of view.
IL is possible that, before such action
is taken, the Commissioners VIII order
still! another test and will themselves be
on board to observe the working OF the
motor.
