The little girl was playing in front of
her home alone. There was evidently no
one around because no one could be found
who saw the accident. The child wan
dered into the middle of the street where
she was found later by her mother in
an unconscious condition.
The frantic mother carried the nnangled
form of her daughter into her home and
sent for Dr. Bayed. Every effort was
made to restore the child to consciousness
without success. Death came a few hours
after the child was taken home.
August H. Wolf, fifty-three years old,
a provision dealer, of No. rs Hague street,
was arrested early this morning charged
with manslaughter. He was the driver
of the wagon that ran over the child.
Wolf was held for the Grand Jury by

GETTING IN TRAINING.
O'Nei1l Prepares for His Fight With
a Bar Room Brawl.

Hughie O'Neill, who has been something
of prizefighter in his day, but who has
not been seen in the roped arena in a
long time, recently became ambitious to
don the mitts once again. He cast about
for a suitable opponent. A suitable op-
ponent in O'Neill's opinion was one who
could produce a pile of shekels and not so
much of a fight From number of as
pirants he finally selected one Dennis
Ward, who was the leader of certain
coterie of 4would-be sports who used
Newark as their stamping ground
After diligent investigation through the
R. G. Dun of the fistic world, Ward was
notified to the effect that your name
has been selected A date was set for
the signing of articles and the Newark
contingent arrived here with their pockets
bulging with coin of all denominations.
O'Neill's backer met the short-haired
representatives from the sister city and
asked
''TIow much cush have you guys raked
up?"
"Oh, we got a century planted between
here and the treasury that talks about
nothing but Ward. Do you think you can
cast shadow over that pile?'
1t was decided that each side post 800.
The winner was to get 70 per cent and
the loser 25 per cent. of the purse. The
money was to have been posted Wednes-
day
While perfecting the arrangements
O'Neili went into the saloon of William
Kaufhold, at No 123 York street, who
was sin on the graft" Here an argument
started over money matters. O'Neill had
an idea that Kaufhold was working a
fim-fam and told him so. This precipi-
tated a row. There was shower of
glasses and bottles and each tried to reach
the others face with clinched fists.
OtNeilrs ring experience made him some
thing of general even in barroom fights
and he landed and landed good, too
Kaufhold fell behind the bar and the
blood flowed freely from his nose, which
had inadvertently stopped O'Neill's left
hook. O'Neill left the saloon and was lost
to sight for a few hours. Kaufhold was
examined by DR.. Rector, who found that
the nose was fractured. A warrant was
issued for OsNeilPs arrest and he was ar
raigned before Police Justice Hoos yester-
day and fined s15 and costs of court.
O'Neill lives at No. 2g7 Henderson street.

RAID ON POSTERS
DR.. McGill Announces That
All Must Be Modest.
NOTHING TO SHOCK CITIZENS
And Mr.. Klein Says Tights
Aren't Half as Bad as
Lifted Skirts.

DR.. MeGiN, President of the Board of
Police Commissioners, today notified T.
w. Dinkins, manager of the Bon Ton
Theatre, that those posters which might
be considered Objectionable must be re-
moved from public view. AIr. Dinkins has
done as requested and there are now only
pictures in full length costumes and
boards covered with plain printing.
DR.. McGiH said he had heard many ad-
verse criticisms of many of the posters
placed about the city. He had himself in
tended to take some steps in the matter.
but his action was hastened by the pro-
tests recently made to him.
He said he had in mind the immoral
influence the posters had on children and
young men and women. Among those who
protested were teachers and heads of
families who had at heart the best In
terests of the rising generation.
Mr.. Dinkins could not be seen this morn
ing, so he has expressed no views on the
situation. Mr.. Frederick Klein. who has
a large interest in the Bon Ton spoke
freely, however, of the matter in his
Office in the Weldon Building. He said
1.-THE Bon Ton Theatre has never put
out any posters that could be considered
opJectloHdple- EVERY SneeL OF paper
placed about the city advertising per-
formances at our house has been care
fully examined before it is given into the
hands of the bill poster and none is issued
that might shock those of the finest feel
ings."
How about the pictures of women in
tights?" the reporter asked.
1--WE do not consider the pictures of
women In tights immoral. Those that are
put on the boards are reduced to the
minimum of conspicuousness- They are
not half as shocking as pictures of women
showing their skirts raised l have never
heard a complaint of our pictures and the
order issued is all wrong

Their Return to POpu-

Colored precious stones which at one
time were sacrificed to diamonds and
pearls have now found favor in the
world of fashion at Paris. Even coral,
which for long time was neglected, is
regaining its rank as an article of
adornment, together with those old
fashioned stones, the topaz, the ame-
thyst, the opal and the chrystalite.
Naturally the ruby, the emerald and
the sapphire retain their favorite place
among jewels of price. Their cut and
setting show infinite variety. They are
worn not only as necklaces, brooches or
pendants, but also on chains. belts,
corselets, rings, and on high, enormous
coitfures, almost like tiara re-
splendent in shimmering colors.

WALES DROPS CREASE
Latest Photograph of Prince Brings
Anguish to Society Men.
Ardent Followers of England's Male
Fashion Plate Learn That He
Has Abandoned Trousers
with N Crease.

The fact that the prince of Wales
does not crease his trousers, and that
he has not done so for months, per-
fashionable New York.
The startling news reached New
York the other day. 1t did not come
over the cable nor by word of mouth.
1t came in more reliable form-in
that of a photograph of the prince,
showing, that his trousers are abso-
lutely creaseless.
1t is not accidental, either. Inspec-
tion of the photograph shows that
the trousers never were creased. The
whole thing is deliberate. The prince
has stopped sending his trousers to
be pressed.
And he didn't tell New York society
anything about it, Men who have
been going about New York for the
past few months with trousers bag
ging at the knees and have been
sneered at for their pains by the
''swell dressers" are now fully. vindi-
Gated
There will be scurrying by "swell
dressers" to take the crease from
their "pants." This, tailor says, can
be done easily by soaking the gar
ments for half an hour in the wash
tub and then hanging them on the
line to dry.
When they are dry they will look
like those the prince wears in the
picture.
While the prince has gone back to
unironed trousers, President McKin-
ley hasn't.
The FIRST gentleman of America
has his pressed every morning by his
private secretary or some one else be-
fore he puts them on.
The crease is most emphatic one.
1t is made with very heavy fatiron
welded by man with a large biceps,
who must work for many minutes de-
veloping the crease.
1t now devolves upon New York
dudedom to say which leader it will
follow-the prince or the president.
