For informal visiting or calling any light
suit is perfectly permissible; but for more
formal occasions the frock coat and hish
silk ha. are correct. But winter or SUMMER
the correct thing for evening is a dress
suit. with black or white tie, anu with
white waistcoat If you prefer.
In sending a wedding gift is II customary 20
attach card engraved Mr.. and Mrs. John
smith, or is 1t permissible TO attach the rep
arate visiting cards Of Mr.. and Mrs. Smith?
Please also say which style 10 send in case of the
nonattendance OF Mr. and Mrs. Smith at the
ceremony.
Either way is correct; II you have a card
engraved Mr.. and Mrs. John Smith you can
use it. The present fashion is 10 have a
separate card for husband and wife, and In
that case you Simply attach both cards to
the gift.
II Won have received a formal invitation
to the wedding or reception with X. s. '. l..
upon 1t. you must decline or accept py
formal note. but If |: is only an ordinary
invitation TO the church or house. your
cards for the host and hostess and for the
newly married couple also should be in
closed.
Kindly advise through your inquiry cnlIimn
what a young man should do in regard to social
duties dress. etc. who mas lately been bsreaved
by the loss Of his mother. have received num-
erous Invitations 10 parties. receptions. hans
etc, and would like to know what the exac.
time is during which l would not he expected

social duties to his young lady friends whom
he has been in the habit OF taking oa't consider
ably?
The time OF mourning varies somewhat
according to circumstances. and USUALLY
ones feelings are the best guide. There IS
a certain measure Of respect, however. due
to the memory of those who are our near
relatives. which should be observed. and IL
is not considered at all good taste. to put
il mildly. for near relatives to be seen In
public or a. any large entertainment for at
least six months. With men the case Is
somewhat different and their business may
oblige them TO 60 TO such places. but this
is a matter YOU must decide for yourself
If YOU care to accept informal Invitations
from your intimate friends you can certain
" do so with prcpriety. but avoid large en-
teriainments. such dinners. balls. etc
Men are not expected to wear heavy
mourning women, but here again a ques-
ton Of personal taste arises. Black clothes
and black cravat and gloves are generally
worn for the first few months, and you
should wear band upon your hat for some
time. at least. You need not stop visiting
your female friends entirely, but as you
are not supposed to be going anywhere they
will not expect you TO escort them to the
theaters. balls etc, as you have been DO
ing previously to your loss.

Clark
After the conclusion of the war. General
George Rogers Clark knew period of de-
preston and misundersta nding. His cam
paiSn against the Wabash Indians had
failed and ne had been dismissed from the
service Of Virginia. He felt that he was
not only neglected. misunderstood and mis-
represented. but treated with positive in
justice.
He now endeavored TO drown his disap-
pointments and sorrows in drink. says Mr..
English, and at last even his countenance
took on a sterner and more forbidding look
than 1t wore n his younger and brighter
days. This is shown in his portrait taken
at this period. now In the Nincennes Unit

Two interesting and complicated mat
tiers will come up for consideration and
disentanglement during the present week
IN the criminal branches Of the Supreme
Court Of the District. One IS in connection
with the trial OF Charles Bowen, colored,
who is indicted for the murder Of Samuel
Jones, and the other the case of Alexander
Booker. colored who come time ago was
convicted Of assault with intent to kill
Lafayette letters. also colored. The COM
plicatiou in the latter case was developed
Saturday. when Booker was called for SEN
tence before Justice Cole. Then il was
that the cours was informed Of the fact
that the prisoner was at the time Of his
trial and conviction. and is now, serving
a sentence in the District jail for an Of
fence growing out of the identical acts and
circumstances for which II was again ask
cd that he be sentenced to possible
greater punishment
The circumstances surrounding the
Booker case are substantially as follows.
About a year ago Booker was charged in
the Police Court with making an assault
upon Lafayette LETTERS and his daughter,
Annie Barber. The testimony went to
show that Booker did not intend to make
an assault upon int NoA4ahf b1N NA1t 9tiS
threw herself between her father and
Booker and received a cut with knife on
her cheek After investigation IN the
Police Court Booker was found guilty OF
simple assault and sentenced 10 imprlson-
ment In the District Jail for period Of
eleven months and twenty nine days
which Is the longest term which a Police
Court Judge can impose. After this. and
while Booker was serving his sentence IN
the fail. the matter was referred 10 the
grand fury and an Indictment was re-
turned charging him with committing an
assault with intent 10 Kill Lafayette JET
fers.
Booker was brought to trial and found
guilty as indicted. For come reaeoa CT
other. during the proceedings Of the trial
Of Booker in the Supreme Court OF the
District. no mention was made OF the fact
that he was tried in the Police Court and
found guilty Of making an as ault upon
LETTERS. and that the charge IN the Police
Court and the Indictment by the grand
;rrv and the evidence offered az the trials.

latter in about a year after died. The cay
after the fight. however Bowen was ar
raigned IN the Police Court on the charge
of assaulting Jones with the handleb3r Of
a bicycle. Because OF the wound inflicted
! by Bowen Jones was not able to appear
at the Investigation and the hearing vas
postponed. When Jones was able to ap-
pear in court and testify. Bowen WIS
found guilty and sentenced to lmpTi on
ment in the District jail for a period OF
thirty days. II a little less than a year
after Jones died and his relatives con-
tended that his death resulted from the
blow inflicted by Bowen. The physician
who attended Jones in his last Illness,
however, certified that he died from en-
other cause Notwithstanding this. the
Coroner was notified and Jones body was
eXhumod and an inquest held. As the re
suit Of this Investigation Bowen was held
for murder and later indicted by the grand
jury. He was, however. not tried on this
Indictment but was called TO trial On an
Indictment charging him with man
slaughter.
On the day set for trial, Bowers coun-
sci, Messrs. Kiak, Hughes q Frlsby, filed
a plea Of former jeopardy" In which It
was cortCndcd that Bowen had already
been tried, convicted, and punished for
the identical offence foG which it was asked
that he again be put on trial.
After hearing argument on the sub est
Justice Clabaugh sustained the plea made
on behalf Of the defendant. Bowen was
then held on the first indictment found
against him by the grand jury, in which
he is charged with the murder Of Samuel
Jones It is probable Bowen will be called
TO trial this week.
Bowen is one Of three prisoners now in
jail, held on charges Of murder. The others
are Olof Pallessen under indictment for
numbering his wife Josephine Pallessen,
and Julia HaFensbach on March "a last
and James Lancton. who is held RESPONSE
bic for the death Of Mrs Hettie Wrenn
