FOR AUTUMN WEAR.
Pretty Notions That Are Noticeable in Ladies' Costumes for
 the Season.

The Eton jacket, in it's new form, ia without revers, and is double breasted, with small buttons and cord loops, so that it may be worn open or closed at will. It is jaunty and effective, says the New York Tribune.
 The coming shirt waist for fall will have a bolero front. The back will keep its familiar form of yoke or plaits, but the elaboration will be in the ejacket front, which is to be edged all about with an embroidered band. The sleeves are cut to flare bit below the. elbow, and the undersleeves are gathered at the wrist. The jacket is held together at the front, midway between the co.'s lar and belt, by velvet knot or men- | tai clasp.
 A phase of fashion in garnitures is the tendency toward guipure. Em- broidered, crocheted and fringed ef- | fects are likely to be more prevalenu than for many years, and this indicates | that the majority of cloth fabrics will be forced to retire in favor of the pie l turesque.
 It is an undisputed fact that the stage is responsible for many of fashions whims. The present lingerie sleeve Is | the direct outcome of the production of | "Cyrano" in Paris, and in the promised fall designs it also occupies com
 spicuous place, especially for home | wear. French women have adopted the mode of having bodices made sleeveless, with a number of pairs of sleeves of different sorts, which can be either tackled or hooked in the arm holes at moments notice.
 For travelling or fall excursions.
 homespun or yelling will be much
 favored, also figured mohair of q rather heavy weave. For future wear. until
 the cold weather fairly sets in, the favored colors are ecrS, French gray. red, light shades of blue and white.
 Not for many seasons has white been
 so fashionable, both for old and young,
 the only difference being in the fabric,
 which is seldom relieved by any touch of color, except in the headgear. The under petticoat of flannel has a
 rival in point of favor in the skirt of wash silk, lined with nuns yelling or
 albatross. For dainty under dressing r these excel the flannel and can be l made to supply just as much warmth and at the same time be far more orna'
 mental. The trimming is generally 2 ribbon or silk ruff1e, orerlaid with on< I of lace, and headed by ladder inser > ton, threaded with wash ribbon te
 match the ruff1e.

SHAKING GAVE HIM AWAY.

A man was arrested in Brooklyn fo the crime of having chill. He got or a Flatbush avenue trolley car at Nal bone street to ride downtown. Two sleuths attached to a local precinc, were on the car and they noticed that the man trembled violently. He seemed to be greatly agitated over something and the sleuths decided to watch him. Every time the car passed a policeman it seemed to the detec tives that the man s.a gitation increased and that he trembled more violently.
 After awhile3 says the New YorI Times, he turned ap the collar of hi: coat. The sleuths winked at each other significantly. The fellow was trying to avoid recognition. That was plain
 The man left the car when itreachec the Brooklyn end of the bridge, and tht sleuths followed. Two policemen were standing near by and it seemed that a sight of them the man shook like leaf The watching sleuths were convinced The man was at least a suspicious char acter. They stepped up to him and in formed him that he was under arrest
 'Under arrest!" exclaimed the man plainly astonished. What for?" "Well-er-er-wha are you trem bling so much about?" asked one of tn detectives.
 The man laughed. He was apparent ly greatly amused.
 I'm trembling because I can't hel it," he explained. I've contracted severe chill and I'm going down to SC | my doctor about it."z The sleuths boarded the next car fo | Manhattan and the man with chi went shakingly eu his way to the dos 1 tors. -, r - ....- .. -.- .. -

CHECKER PLAYERS DRAW.


 Boston. Oct 26.-Both matches yes
 terday in the championship checker
 match between Jordan, and Barker
 were draws. The ballot called for the 24-2O move for white, after blacks opening with Ills in all of the four teen games of this series. This would lead to game known as the Ayreshire
 Lassie. The afternoon game wan dered away from the book lines and finally developed into the Old Four
 teenth. 1t resulted in draw, but was Ia very critical game. Except on one instance the evening game was a pure Ayresfire Iassie. Jordan gave Bar
 ker a chance toexehange two for two Bark declined the sswap, although l it was afterward shown that it would
 have given him big advantage. This game was alsots g. draw. Half of the games of the match have been played and both men have one game each an( have drawn eighteen, .4apeis. elsls-s !

Princeton, Oct 26.-The Tigers ,touchdown yesterday afternoon, which was their last lineup before the game with Brown on Saturday, does not au- gur well. It was secured on tiuke, too, for Butkiewicz, the scrub center, passed the ball over under Hills hand and Sheffield, for the varsity, fell on it over the last chalk mark. The 1n- reference was loosely put together, and the backs played in poor form. Neither Roper nor McCord was able to resume work and it Is almost certain that they will be out of the play at Providence. The coaches are still sorting over the eleven in quest of a suitable goal kicker. Mattis, Hodg- man and Dana have all tried to do the trick, but their work has been poor. McLave, Pell and several others were tested yesterday. but they seemed to be no better. Alexander Moffatt has charge of the Kicking department now and much confidence is placed in his ability to develop a fairly sure goal kicker. The players will leave for Rhode Island tonight, but there will be no lineup in the afternoon.

PIENNIG WINS MATCH.

A wrestling match that created plen- ty of enthusiasm was decided last night at the Old Homestead hall, Ninetieth street and Third avenue. The contestants were John Piennig, the Butcher Boy" and Philip kreig of the Hell Gate A. c. PIennig works in slaughter house here and his friends turned out in force. About 1000 spectators crowded into the hall and when the match began standing room was at premium. The strug- gle was for a side wager and the gate receipts. Graeco-Roman style prevail ed. the conditions being that the match should be to finish, the best two out of three falls to count. George Both ner of the Pastime A. C., also a wrestler, was the referee. Before Kreig and Piennig went on Paul Pons, the French champion, was in troduced. His manager, Emile Reg nier, said that Pons would meet the winner of the kreig-Piening contest Piennig and Kreig shook hands at 10:30 o'clock. Kreig was heavier than Piennig and much slower. His act. ions, too, indicated that he did not know much about the game. Piennis won two falls and the match in short order.

JACK ROOT A COMER.

Jack Roots clean, jig-metered
 knockout of Dick O'Brien at STatter
 sails last week stamps the western
 middleweght champion as the equal
 of any middleweight in the world,
 and when "Kid'' Mccoy, after signing
 to met Root, set sail for Souths Africa,
 he gave evidence of not a little dis
 cernment and ring cunning. The elu-
 siye .Kid'' had actually signed articles to meet the western champion, and the
 purse offered for the contest by the
 Tattersalls people was sufficiently en-
 ticing to bring the Hoosier boxer on.
 He relented, evidently, for the day he
 set sail for England he wired s
 F. ssEverything off. Cancel match
 with Root. i It now transpires that Mccoy was scared off by line offered on the match by Tommy Ryan. Ryan is quoted as remarking to a mutual
 friend of the pair that if Root ever
 fought, Mccoy he would whip him | Mccoy has always had a keen appre | citation of Ryan's judgment of fighters and this Is probably what caused Me l Coy to back cut of the match. Witt | ring experience of less than three l wears, Root has to his credit more de
 cisive victories than any middle weight in ring history. A total ot l thirty-six victories and one draw
 There is not a single blot on the rec sord, and the young fellow stands to Eday, probably without an equal in hi l division. Having cleaned up every l thing in the middleweight division, h. l will now likely be forced to invade tn l heavy Weight ranks. His friends thinl Il that with the lighter weighted heavie Il Root has better than an even chance and with none else to conquer in hi

YOUTHFUL WHITEcAPS.
Organized to Punish Those Who Inter
fere In Love Affairs.

Organized to Punish Those Who Intsr.
feFe In Love Affairs.
What appears to be an organization
Of whitecaps is operating in this city
The peculiar thing about the organiza-
ton is the motive behind it for the
protection of its members against the
intrusion of outsiders in affairs of love.
The band. so far as can be learned, is
composed of young men ranging in age
from Is to 20 years, who are sworn to
protect each other, even unto death If
necessary, in order to keep young men
who are not members of the band from
infringing upon their rights and pay
ing attention to the girl friends of any
Of the members. The violation of the
rules laid down in the bylaws of the
organization means severe punishment
to the offender, and swift justice is
melted out to the young man who dares
to mingle in the love affairs OF any
member of the band. Not long ago a
young man from the outside called
upon one of the young women friends
of member of the band and was pass
ing the evening in her company. A
knock at the door brought the hostess,
and the leader of the band, who had
approached, asked in a pleasant man
ner If the young man were present.
Receiving an answer in the Affirmative,
he requested to see the gentleman on
business. AS the young man stepped
out into the darkness he was seized
by the whitecaps and given a sound
whipping and told to leave the place
at once, which he did. Another case
has just developed, in which the pun
ishment was more severe. The young
man, who was called from the pres
ence of the girl on the second occasion,
was subjected to the most brutal treat
ment possible. A coffee sack was
thrown over his head, his hands were
tied behind him and he was marched
to the cemetery, fully mile from the
city, at the point of revolvers, while
the members followed with threats of
violence in case he uttered an outcry.
AT the cemetery rope was tied about
his neck and the end thrown over
limb of tree. At this juncture the
coffee sack was removed, and a ghost
bearing a large knife in its hanos
sprang out of the darkness and came
toward the crowd. The masked mem
bers of the band, at sight of the ghast-
" specter, broke and ran, and the
young man became SO frightened that
he swooned and fell to the ground.
The ghost, who was one of the white
caps, disrobed, and calling to the
crowd, told them the young man had
tainted. The limp form of the boy
out upon the sidewalk, where he re-
manned until passers-by CHANGED to
find him, still in an unconscious con-
0IIion, some hours afterward. So far
the identity of the members has been
kept secret, and. though an effort has
| been put forth to locate the leaders,
it has Deen to no avail The last oc-
currence has created considerable OK
