ETIQUETTE QUESTION
To be Decided by Norfolk Jury
at Coming Term Of Court.
Is It Proper for a Young Man to Go into the
Presence of Ladies' CoatIess2- Trial of
NJ. Nicholson Yosterday-sanor Fined
for Carrying Black Jack.

Whether 1T Is proper for a young
man to go in the presence of ladies
without a coast is the delicate ques-
ton in etiquette to be decided by a
jury in the Court of Law and Chancery
shortly. The case of H. Garnett Smith
against the Old Dominion Steamship
Company. a suit for $500 damages,
which was called in that court We'd

Ii. l.. Smith. entered suit against this
company through Messrs- George Nc

Smith purchased u arst-class ticket
to go on one of the defendants boats
from Newport News to Norfolk. He

steamer. in Il somewhat rude manner,
escorted him out of the first-class
cabin to the second class. There We're
ladies In the former cabin and the
purser feared their senslbilities would
be shocked.
The case was continued until the
next term of the court. 1t is causing
considerable interest.

KITCHENER HAS HOPE
Wishes Only to Drive In
vading Beers Out of
Cape Colony.

London, Dec. 30 Since Lord
Kitchener's dispatch confirming the
invasion of Cape Colony and express
sing the hope, not to capture, but
only to ''drive them north again.
not a word has been issued officially
as to the situation in South Africa.
Considerable activity is now mani
tested at Aldershot. A large draft
of mounted troops will be ready to
start for South Africa January 6,
while others have been notified to
hold themselves in readiness for the
same destination. :
According to the Capetown cores
pendent Of the Daily Mail wiring
yesterday, the reason the court sitting
in Colesburg was obliged to hurriedly
evacuate the town with it's records
and papers was owing to the. prox-
unity Of the invading Beers. The
Colesbnrg district, says the correspon-
dent, is seething with anti British ex-
citement. Recrudesence of the rebel
lion is perceptible in the districts i'm
mediately south Of the Orange river.
Tuesday morning a fight was pro-
ceeding at Phillipstown, presumably
with the commando, which crossed at
Sand Drift.

WILL PUNISH
The LEADERS.
MOUNT TALKS CONCERNING
RECENT LYNcH1NGs.
DISGRACE TO INDIANA
Governor Declares His Determine
tion That Perpetrators Must
Be Punished.

Indianapolis, Dec. 18-Governor
Mount said tonight concerning the
triple lynching Of the negroes in
Spencer county:
mo stone will be left unturned to
run down the perpetrators Of mob
violence, these deliberate and vicious
~violators of the laws Of the state, and
visit upon them a vigorous prosecu-
ton and just retribution in the courts.
"As soon as I received notice Of the
lynching of the third man, thus ex-
tending the awfulness of the crime, l
called Attorney General Taylor and
consulted with him regarding the best
and most effective method Of pro-
cedure. He was about to go to Chi
cago and we decided to wait until his
return, possibly tomorrow, when
methods will be decided upon.
IT am determined that this crime OF
wholesale outlawry shall not go un-
punished if it is possible for the men
who led in it to be borught into
court. Such outrages blacken the
fair name of this state and if l can
prevent 1t this one shall not be per-
mitted to go unpunished."

MASS OF TESTIMONY
Military Court Hears More
Witnesses in Booz
Hazing Case.

West Point, Dec. 2O-Tle military
court of inquiry composed OF Generals
Brooke, Bates and Cleous, got
through a mass of evidence today.
Tomorrow the cadets of the first class,
among whom are Frank Kellar, who
fought Booz, and some of the men
who saw the contest, will be ex-
amined, as the court expects to have
all the evidence collected by Saturday
evening, but judging by the large
number of witnesses expecting to be
called, there may possibly be an ad-
iournment until after the holidays.
The name Of former Cadet John E.
Becht of Altoona, Pa, who, it is al
legged, died 10 months ago as a result
of brutal hazing at West Point mill
tary academy, was associated with
that of Oscar L. Booz in the inquiry
today. Superintendent Mills emphat-
ically denies that Becht was injured
while here and said today that the
statements were absolutely false.
In REPUTATION of the statement made
by Cadet Booz's father, Congressman
Phillips of Cleveland, Ohio, sent a tel
egram to Superintendent Mills deny
ing that he ever came to West Point
for the purpose Of protecting his son,
Cadet Burt w. Phillips, from being
hazed.
This was submitted to the court and
by direction of the court it was at
tached to the record.

in the northern districts of Cape Col
Ony is more serious. Fully 1900
Beers have invaded that section.
Grave fears are entertained that
Dutch sympathizers will join the re-
bellion and that this will spread. AL
though there is no fear as to the ulti-
mate result, the lack Of a sufficient
number Of mounted troops is felt by
the British. The enormous waste Of

Wool.

F. WOOL ~. .- g.. - II
Boston, Dec. 19-The American
Wool and Cotton Reporter will say OF
the wool trade tomorrow: The colder
weather of the East week or ten days
has started a somewhat better bust
ness in the clothing trade, which is re-
fected in a slightly increased inquiry
for wool, but the amount of business
actually transacted in the latter COM
modify, shows no improvement, in
fact, it is slightly less than that of
last week. The general opinion is
that the volume of business in the
wool market will be of moderate d.
mansions from now until after the
first of the year. Manufacturers are
only buying to meet pressing wants.
Prices remain steady.
The sales OF the week in Boston
amounted to 3, $40, 900 pounds do
nestle and $50, 600 pounds foreign,
making a total OF $500, 900 against a
total of 4,212, 900 for the previous
week and a total of 8, 1868, 600 for the
corresponding week last year. The
sales since January l amounted to
