BLOCKING STREET
Several Persons Before JUDGE
Ball, Charged With
Disorder

At this mornings session of City

costs by Judge Ball on a charge of dis
orderly conduct preferred by Officer

The testimony was to the effect that
yesterday morning Dunlap, who is en-
ployed by his father. Martin Dunlap,
at No. 80 King street, allowed a team
to stand in the street in front of Mr..
Dunlaps place, and so blocked traffic
that teams were not able to pass up
and down the thoroughfare. When or
dered to move by Officer Mari young
Dunlap replied that he would do SC
when he got ready. He was then taken
into custody.
Mr.. Dunlap, Sr., testified that he
rented the cellar beneath No. $40 King
and that he had peach baskets piled in
the street five rows deep from the curb
line. Upon being questioned by the
court. Dunlap admitted that had the
baskets not been in the street there
would have been no blockade. Judge
Ball held that King street was not q
fruit market according to ordinance
and although a person had the right tc
sell fruit within four feet. Of the build
ing line, he had no right to obstruc
the street.

Leo Medzonowski, disorderly conduct
and William Cole similarly charged
were continued until tomorrow morn
ing.

costs.

DISGRAcEFUL ATTACK ON DR.. KING

In its eager efforts to assist Addicks
the Daily Republican makes an inde-
cent and unjustihable attack upon DR..
William Writ King, pastor of Grace
Methodist Episcopal Church. 1t ac-
euses him of making "a slurring re-
mark" about Addicks in his prayer
opening the Republican State Conven-
tion on Tuesday. Mr.. King might have
made any number OF "slurring re-
marks" about Addicks without deviat-
ing from the truth; but, as a matter of
fact, he did nothing Of the kind His
invocation was a masterpiece of pa
triotic thought and expression, utterly
devoid Of anything partisan OF fac
tional Ii would have fitted a Demo
cratic as well as a Republican assem-
blage, and even one Of the series Of
Addicks State Conventions now in
progress would have been honored by
such a prayer
We admit that it was not the invo-
cation which might have been made by
some of the subsidized men of Cod
down the state who think more of Ad-
dicks subscriptions than they do OF
their souls salvation. but no one but a
conscience-stricken Addicksite could
except to the words used by DR.. King
on Tuesday.
We are surprised that the Daily Re
publican should select the pastor Of
Grace Church as a victim Of its
splenetic schemes to get an Addicki
sheriffs printing, and that it should
attempt to drag Grace Church and its
pastor and congregation into blttel
political controversy with which the.
have nothing to do.

SHAKE OFF THE COLLAR

State Convention No. Of the Ad-
dicks series is in session in Dover to-
day.
If the declarations OF AddlclIs are to
be believed it will pursue the same un-
republican and unreasonable course
that characterized State Con-
vention No on August g. with the ex-
ception that the Republican electoral
ticket may be substituted for the Ad-
dicks electoral ticket, which was com
posed OF Republicans.
Pursuance Of and adherence to such
a course endangers the governor, rep
resentative in Congress for the long
term, state treasurer, auditor of ac-
counts and state insurance commits
sioner The Republicans have shown
their desire for harmony by accepting
the Addicks nominees for lieutenant
governor, representative in Congress
for the short term and attorney gen
eral. Acceptance Of Or. George w.
Marshall, the Addicks candidate for
governor, and DR.. Caleb r. Layton, the
Addicks candidate for representative
in Congress, was out Of the question.
The Republicans had better men to
offer They took Martin B. Burris, the
Addicks candidate for state treasurer
and nominated him for governor. Dan
iel ]. Layton, the Addicks candidate
for auditor Of accounts, they named fol
presidential elector. Then they
dropped former Mayor Stansbury ]
Wiley, the Addicks candidate for stat,
insurance commissioner, and named
George e. Smith, staunch and life
long Republican, in his stead B.
nominating Or. l.. H. Ball for stat
treasurer. and Purnell B. Norman 70
auditor Of accounts. they complete
their ticket. In other words, they &C
cepted six men on the Addicks ticke
and Of the other five two declined I
serveand three were rejected. When it
remembered that the men rejected WEI
Marshall. Layton and Wiley, three
the most active and heartless disrul
tionists in the state. that rejection
easy to understand. OF those me
whom Addicks placed on his ticket Il
Republicans accepted Manlove Hayt
Walter o. Hofeeker, John HUM, He
bert H. Ward, Daniel J. Layton al
Martin B. Burris. This was done I
the sake Of harmony and while all {
men were not named for the same
fees. if Addicks is sincere. he must q

they are named.

If this action is taken it will be in
line with the emphaticallyt expressed
opinions Of many judges and magis-
trates throughout the county. 1t is
plain to Intelligent and impartial per-
sons hat the present method of crimi-
nal procedure fails to protect society
adequately in many respects-notably
IN cases where women and children are
maltreated by human brutes. Wife
beaters and ruffians who abuse helpless
childhood care little, as a rule. for the
brief sentences of Imprisonment which
are usually imposed as a penalty for
their crimes. The experience of such
states as Delaware, where the whipping
post Is in vogue, goes to show that a
sound fogging is dreaded by this des-
picable class Of offenders far more than
incarceration in comfortable cells with
plenty of wholesome food.
Probably a protest against such a
change in this state will be raised bv
well-meaning persons to whom the idea
of the infiction of physical pain is re-
pugnant. But it is' question whether
this sentiment has not been carried too
far in the administration Of punish
ment The individuals whose welfare
the state is bound to safeguard, first
OF all, are not the brutal criminals, but
the victims of their savagery.
There is ample evidence in favor OF
the theory that hogging is the most Of
fective deterrent that can be used for
the prevention of abuse Of those men,
bers of society who are powerless to
defend themselves.

BUCKLES VILE BE POPULAR
According to Millinery Review
They Will be the Thing

There is an ornament, the buckle,
which is destined to play an important
role in the Autumn and Winter milli-
merry says the Millinery Trade Review.
Buckles are OF various forms: square,
oblong, oval, round, and fanciful, any
Of which may be had fiat and more or
less curved backward, and the shape
chosen depends on the place it is to
occupy. Very large and medium-sized
buckles have the preference over small
and those set with simili and with cut
steel hold the first rank, nevertheless
jet buckles are in some demand, as are
those in tinted gilt metal in .fanciful
art nouyeau" designs, sometimes set
with colored stones, pearls, or bits Of
amber. Some new ways of using
buckles imagined for straw hats-for
instance, the insertion Of a long OBJ
long one. curved backward, in the
front Of a hat brim-are applicable to
felts. But the more novel application
consists in using the buckle as a deco
ration for the backs Of small hats and
toques.
The honor Of having devised this
mode belongs to Mile. Pujol (Maison
Torre), who showed me a toque Of
rather large size, covered with light,
dull-blue miroir velvet, which has an
oblong buckle set with simili at the
back Over the beret-shaped crown the
velvet is closely drawn, and the buckle
gathers up the material on the back of
the brim, which IS fiattened down into
the nape of the neck; over the front
and sides Of the brim the velvet sets
rather full, giving it certain thick
ness. On the left side the brim Is lifted
to allow of a plume of dark cock S
feathers shaded off to metallic green,
being placed underneath. A similar
plume is inserted between the crown
and the brim, and curves off on the
right side.
In another model the buckle used is
in the art nouveau" style; it gathers
UP the dark firgreen velvet which
covers the loose, low crown and brim
Over the latter, round the front from
behind the ears. lies a double row OF
slightly curved cocks feathers, the
under row being pale blue and the up
per, tapping over it, almost black. II
other models the buckle Oblong shaped
is placed in front and has a band d
velvet surrounding the base of the
crown drawn through. This is th,
case in charming toque made of blacl
net, scored all over with rows of blacl
chenille.
The styles of bows adopted are par
ticularly suited to the exhibition o
buckles. One long and narrow ma.

and oval buckles are placed in the cen

fiat, when outside trimming is unneces
saTy, and the underside receives it al
namely, a demi-Amazon, a plume o
cocks feathers, or merely a bow an

not turned up or only has the brip
lifted slightly on one side, some poT
ton OF the trimming is often place
on the brim At the right, but not so a

the case with the feather or feather

his idea for domestic purposes, for they
have taught the civilized world most

David w. Harlan, one Of the fore

night in this city. His state Of health
compelled him to relinquish active
work months ago, and to his family
and immediate friends it had been ap-
parent for several weeks that he could
not long survive his bodily infrmities
From 1871 until few months ago he
served uninterruptedly as superintend-
ent Of the public schools of this city
To his administrative ability the pres
ent high standard Of our educational
system is largely due. He was beloved
by teachers and scholars who recog-
nized in him a good friend and adviser
The parents OF the school children re-
posed in him the utmost confidence,
while the taxpayers recognized that
when money was expended under his
advice or direction they always would
get a proper return for such expendi-
ture. Personally Mr.. Harlan possessed
many admirable qualities which made
him a host of friends and admirers
who regret his death.
