 is Knocked lnsensible TROUBLEAROSE OVER DRESS Negro Woman Wanted to Take a Dress Without Paying for It, and
 Mrs. Sharpe Refused.
 Robbery Follows.
TR0UBLEAR0SE OVER DRESS

Mrs. Eva Sharpe a seamstress, was beaten into insensibility with poker Saturday night by a negro woman who had called at the house of the seamstress for a dress that was being made. The negro woman made her escape and has not been captured. although the police were notified of the assault and are look ing for her
 The trouble occurred at the home of Mrs. Sharpe on Avenue I and Twenty sixth street. After Mrs. Sharpe became unconscious the house was robbed of a tea jacket. a poeketbook with a.50 and the dress which was being made by the white woman and for which the negro woman had come.
 The trouble seems to have been the out come of the negro woman wanting to take the dress without paying for it, and Mrs. Sharpe refusing to give 1t up until the negro paid for making the gown. The negro promised to return hhoHudy anu pay TOT the WOrk put the seamstress refused to accept any proposition of this sort and said she would keep the dress and the material until the negro paid her.
 Mrs. Sharpe, during the argument. turned her back and the negro struck her on the head with a poker, which was standing by the fireplace The former screamed and neighbors heard her. but did not come to her rescue. The negro struck her several more blows and she fell to the floor unconscious. While in this condition the house was robbed and several articles were missing when Mrs. Sharpe regained consciousness.
 The police were notified and examined the room where the assault occurred. finding blood on the floor and on the hearth. Mrs. Sharpe stated to them that she had turned to arrange the win dow curtains when the negro woman struck her.

Captain Jinks.

Captain Jinks of the Horse Marines" by Clyde Fitch, which will be seen at the Jefferson theatre next Saturday matinee and night, ran almost continuously for one year at the Garrick Theatre In New York, which was longer run than any Clyde Fitch comedy ever had. 1 his brightest effort from the pen of the most prolific playwright this country has ever known, is a comedy which particularly appeals to women because of its genuine touches of human nature, it's abundant humor anu it's whimsicalities of the hero he, Mime. Trentoni. The part of this American prima donna, who Is on a visit to her native country, Is played by Miss Elizabeth Kennedy a young actress who has achieved great distinction in her im- personation of the character. Miss Ken nedy is tall and statuesque reminding one of a character drawn by Gibson or study by Christy. The title role. that of Captain Jinks, will be played by Theo- dore Babcock. There are forty people in the organization, which also includes an entire corps de ballet executing a dance as it was done in Grand Opera thirty years ago:
