NEW STYLE OF HEADGEAR.
Summer and Winter Hats Adopted
by Major Sylvester.

Major Richard Sylvester, chief Of police.
has adopted a new style of official head
gear for himself, Capt. Austin and the in
spectors and Ieutenants cf the depart
ments. which is decided innovation. In
place Of the old style cap with its straight,
glistening vizor, which threw heat and
sunshine directly into the eyes OF the
wearer, the Summer hat is in she shape
of a natty brown derby, with rather
narrow briEn.
a silver cord runs around the crown at
the base, the acorn tipped ends forming a
loop bow in front. A wreath, with the
rank of the wearer embroidered IN gold
letters in the center, is placed on the
front OF the hat, giving II . Uniform and
official appearance. For Winter wear a
cap has been decided upon, hut K VIII

similar 10 the caps worn by army off,

The Summer hats have been issued and
are being worn now by the officers Of the
department when ia full uniform. They
are comfortable and make a much better
appearance than the old stye cap.

CoRBETT LEAVES TRAINING.
Accuses Mccoy and the Hawthorne
Club of Deceiving the Public.

Asbury Park, n. J., Sept. 25.-Corbett

this afternoon and left for New York
The ex-champion said that he was tired
of training when there was no positive
assurances in sight that his proposed
fight with Mccoy will come off Corbett
had intended remaining here until the
second week in October, and it was a sur
prise to his friends when he announced
his determination of getting out. Before
leaving Corbett said:
Il will not be a party to any deception
perpetrated by Mccoy and the Haw-
thorne Club. 1 believe they are deceiving
the public Last night l received letter
from a friend in Buffalo saying that eff
forts are being made to induce the au-
thorities to permit my fight with Mccoy
to proceed far enough to get about 81 900
from admissions The idea is to have the
Kid and me on hand, and when we start
to box it is understood that the police
will interfere the same as was done in
the case of Lavigne and Erne. Such a
fiasco would probably make me $40 900
richer, but 1 am not after money made
by such methods Mccoy never intended
to fight, but / want to demonstrate that /
can whip any man in the world
While Corbett is diSgusted with the
present turn of affairs, he has hopes that
either Jeffries or Sharkey will accept the
offer made by several reputable clubs.

In SEARCH OF EVIDENCE.

Thomas NJ. Fields Investigates His
Alleged Marriage In Baltimore.
The last chapter of the Fields-Von
| Olsen annulment cross bill replevin pro-
ceedings has not yet been written, and
from what was learned last evening new
and interesting developments may be
looked for in the near future.
Thomas M. Fields. the original mover
IN the proceedings, was seen at his home
shortly after his return from Baltimore,
where he had been on business connected
with his suit against Wilhelmina A. E..
Won Olsen for the annulment of an
alleged marriage certificate, which she
claims to be a record of their marriage
He said that he had searched the rec
ords of the clerk of court of Baltimore
and is now more firmly convinced than
ever that the alleged certificate is
forgery. He had several photographs of
the certificate made, which will be used
as evidence at the trial.
Mr.. Fields said he had also searched the
city directories of Baltimore as far back
as 1850, and no where can there be found
the name of such person as the Rev
Henry S. Clogg," the minister who is al
legged TO have performed the marriage
ceremony. Further than this, ne says, the
certificate will show forgery on its face
by the fact that the name "Clogg" is
spelled one way in the body of the GER
tificate and another in the signature
He gathered great deal more very ma
terial testimony, he said which he did
not think it well to disclose.
In reference 10 his pictures being levied
and taken away he said such a proceed
ing only went TO show the animus of the
defendant. and caused him no uneasiness.
Mr.. Fields said that today or some time
within the next few days he will inter
yene in the replevin proceedings brought
against his wife, and show conclusively
that the property levied upon belongs to
him and not to his wife. He will also
ask that new bond be given for the re-
turn of the property.

GETTING READY TO PARADE.
Good-Nntured Rivalry Between the
Various Police Precincts

Active preparations are being made in
all the police precincts of the city for the
annual police parade and drill. which will
be held October Is. The men who will
take part are being drilled twice a week
and there is considerable good-natured
rivalry among the precinct companies for
the honor of bearing the prize flag to po-
lice headquarters.
Major Sylvester, after consultation with
his officers and Commissioner Wight, has
decided that there will be no competitive
drill for the flag. Since October II last
year it has reposed in a handsome case in
the First Precinct police station, TO be
taken out only on state occasions.
This year il is the purpose of the de-
partment TO make a battalion flag of il
and keep 1t at police headquarters. The
parade will be reviewed by the Commits
sioners and specially invited citizens, and
the flag will be awarded to the company
which makes the best showing I'm line.
They will have the honor of forming
color guard which will carry the flag to
police headquarters and formally turn Ii
over 10 the major.
Lieut.. Amiss has announced that the
case, which is the property of the First
Precinct, and was made by Policeman
Frank Emmert, win be presented TO head
quarters by his men, and in the future 1t
will adorn the walls of Major Sylvester's
office. II is a handsome bit of cabinet
work, made of seasoned quartered oak,
and lined with blue plush. The case is
the full size of the flag, with a single
piece of plate glass for the front.
1t has not been definitely decided yet
whether or not the President will review
the parade this year. If he is in the city
when 1t takes place he, with the members
of his Cabinet viii doubtless witness it,
as they did last year. from a stand erect.
ed in front of the White House. AS was
the case last year, the parade will be q
joint one of the police and fire depart
mentS.
There will be nine companies of in
fantry, a troop Of mounted men, the am
bulance corps, which includes nine patrol
wagons, and the fire departments turn
out. The magnificent display made by
both departments last year is still re-
membered and every effort will be made
to make the occasion this year an even
more memorable one.
