SET FIRE TO HER HOME.
Serious Charge Against Mrs. Lieher-
mann. Who Is Arrested.

NEW YORK, Aug. 29.-They know little
Maxey Liebermann in the East 126th Street
police station, because once in while he
runs away, and then some policeman finds
him and takes him to the stationhouse.
When he gets there the patrolmen in the
back room give up their checkers. the ma
tron forgets everything else, and all hands
watch him with uneasy eyes.
The Liebermanns live in No. East 132d
Street. Liebermann is a carpenter. His
wife is a rather good-looking young wo
man, somewhat depressed by the care of
Maxey and two other little ones. The 9TH
er people in the fiat don't see much of her.
because with children like Maxey she
hasn't much time for social indulgences.
Maxey got down to business yesterday
and ran riot through the fiat. They heard
him humping up and down the hallway,
banging on the windows, squabbiing with
his brother and sister and making things
hum. About p. N. a sudden silence fell
upon the fiat, and the neighbors wondered
what scheme MaXey was connecting.
Presently some one looked out OF a win
dow and saw Mrs. Liebermann. with the
baby carriage and Maxey and his brother
Jake, going down the street. That was a
full explanation CT the silence. At 2:30
p. m. Mrs. Ada Walsh, who lives under
the Liebermanns, on the first floor. leaned
over the balustrade and yelled Fire"

daughter, ran up. Patroiman Minogue came

FRANKFORT. KY, Aug. 29.-Gen. Par
ker Watt Hardin returned yesterday from
a trip in the Northern states. This is his
first appearance in the State since the
Louisville convention nominated Goebel. 1t
is asserted the unseating of Hardin dele
gates gave rise to the movement for the
boiling Democratic convention, which nom
mated former Governor Brown. General
Hardin has made no public expression as
yet, but former Senator Blackburn says he
expects Hardin to appear on the stump
within the next few weeks in support of
the Goebel ticket. General Hardin Is re-
ported to have told his friends that he was
not sore in the least toward Goebel over
his defeat. He is offended however, be-
cause the anti-Goebel men did not consult
him regarding the ticket they nominated.

For the same price, or perhaps less

an artistic frock which will see one
safely through dozen festivities and
can be cleaned and used as a dinner
gown afterward.
The liberty stuffs are soft, rich and
lisht, come in exquisite colors and run
fifty-four inches wide. Moreover, they
drape beautifully and do not crush, a
great advantage for frock that must
do hard service. There is another art
satin that can be obtained In pure

liberty and is not quite as wide.
