Pat Grove Asserts His Innocence.

Omaha, Neb., March 5-Pat Grove,
one of the alleged abductors of Ed
ward Cudahy, Jr., has written a let
ter to the World-Herald touching on
the kidnapping and asserting his inno-
cence. The communication is a
lengthy one and in many respects is
a duplicate of the letter written to
Mr.. Cudahy three weeks ago. Chief of
Police Donahue says there is no doubt
in his mind as to the genuineness of
the letter and of it's coming from
Grove.

adopted that has proved quite pop
ular among those who are not quite
sure of their minds in a matrimonial
way. This new method was invented
by chaperon at Newport and she
has received the blessings of all the
young men and women who desire to
keep in the center of the social whirL
It is very simple and by following
the directions the most timid debu-
tant may stand in the same row
with her stronger-minded sisters and
display on her promenades on the
beach barred arm bearing the ini-
tials of the young man who has
posed as her escort for the season.
Of course, it is not exactly the real
thing. It is like flash of light COM
pared to the sun, or paste diamond
to genuine gem, but for summer
substitute it will do very well.
The imitation tattoo has also this
advantage: 1t can be made much
larger and therefore much more sem
sational. The receipt for making it
is this:
lhe- initials desired to be repro
duced are cut out of court plaster
and pasted on the arm. Then the
candidate sits on the beach with her
m exposed for several days. All
except the part covered by the court
plaster is tanned dark brown and
when the strips are removed the ini-
tials appear il lighter shade. This
method is very good one, indeed,
for a summer resort. If the young
|lady-as young ladies sometimes do
should happen to quarrel with her es-
cort, or for other reason should de-
sire to make change, the sun will
soon help her out of her difficulty as
far as his initials are concerned and
tan the letters as brown as the re-
Eairder of her arm.
As a substitute for the India ink
nroposition the sun initials ere sue
cess. But the old man on the Bowery
continues to be in demand, which is
q very good argument for the stab:l-
;tv of the young women in New York
society. While the tattoo marks arr
indelible, the young ladies who at
foot them are careful to have them
n1aced on the side next the body and
ven M toward the shoulder SO that
+hev will not mar the beauties of q
sbanely arm displayed at socia
s-nct;ons. Moreover, the designs are
always produced in miniature and i
- in this particular that the work OF
the old sailor excels. His etchings-
that is the proper word for them
are works Of art; not the clumsy art
icle produced on the man VINO serves
before the mast. His prices, too, cor
.e-nnnd with his skill. For a small
aesign no bigger than the tip Of one.
I ,;+tie finger he has been known t
| charge 500. But the smart set mus
.1a fetch. So while it lasts thu
! 1 a,d sailorman in the Bowery is doing
quite well.

CRAZY SUMMER FAD
Lovers Initials Tattooed ON PRETTY
Maidens' Arms.
Some Employ an Old Sailor tn m
the Work, Others Turn the job
Over to the Genial Rays
Of the Sun.
Especial New York Letter.


THE old sailor in the little shon
l. IN the Bowery looked up from
ms work mending the union
Jack. A young woman dressed in a
fluffy summer gown had darkened
the doorway. The tar knew what she
wanted before she spoke. lie tossed
the folds of the flag from off his Ian
revealing timber leg-a good old
fashioned wooden stump-not one of
the new-fangled affairs made of cork
and springs and calculated to deceive.
That he was salt of the old school
was indicated by his look and ac-
tions. His very manner brought
visions of the sea and the fading out
lines of white sails against the hori-
zon of blue.
The shop was a mere hole in the
wall. There was chair or two in
side and the bench on which the old
