Things Have Quieted Down
Since Police Appointments.
Chief Collins Receives Congratula-
tions From the Pink
ertons.
AND A FEW OTHER MATTERS

A small negro boy, apparently six
years Of age, created much excitement
on North Fifth street opposite the
Terrell livery stable last night about
$3.50 O'Clock by his queer antics which
caused the people going to The Ken
lucky theater to believe he was de-
mepted.
The boy would run across the street,
drop down on his hands and knees and
bark like dog and would run across
the muddy street on all fours and grab
at women's dresses as they mounted
the theater steps. A young man and
his bull terrier passed and the hoy at
tackled the dog and came near being
bitten.
Officers johnson and CLARK, Of the
Broadway beat. were summoned and
the former knew the boy. 1t seems
that he is "mean customer" and had
experiences several difficulties with
the officer. As soon as he recognized
Officer johnson he ran away and hid
behind the theater. 1t is thought the
boy is demented.

things will run on peacefully and pro-

models is interlining of the crinoline or

ate fashion, but it is a medium that
easily can be carried to extremes and
that usually is whenever it comes into
style.
Most of these sleeves, especially those
that give promise of numerous adopters,
are better suited to capes than to coats
with sleeves like those now provided.
And as capes are more numerous than
at any time in several years, their adop-
ton may be counted on. Evening capes
are so far in two distinct grades, the
simple and the elaborate. The one is
usually of some fine quality of cloth in

DRAUGHT DOGS IN HOLLAND

Animal Does the Work of the Donkey
in the Low Countries.
In Holland and Belgium the dog oc-
cupies the place which the donkey
does in several other countries. In
the former the sight of a couple Of
dogs dragging along pushcart loaded
with vegetables, flowers or shining
milk cans is a familiar one. They
trot along underneath the cart, with
in easy reach of the blunt toe of the
sabot of the woman, who walks be-
hind it to guide it by the handles at
tached at that point.
In Belgium the dogs are hitched in
front, as the. Russians attach their
horses to their droskies. three abreast,
and are guided by a pair of rope reins
fastened to a muZZle about the nose
of the dog in the middle.
Recently the National Cart Dog As
ISOLATION, organized to regenerate the
original race of Belgian mastiffs, helC
it's first exhibition of cart dogs. The
Flemish breeders have found that in
crossing the Belgian mastiffs with the
Great Danes, with the idea of increas-
ing the size of the cart dogs, and so
securing additional strength, they
made a mistake. The result proved
to be animals with weak headquarters
and disproportionate limbs. Now they
are endeavoring to revive the original
stock.
The women and dogs Of these two
little countries are another evidence
that human and canine nature are the
same the world over. When one sees
the white-capped Belgian milk woman
with her dogs standing near well,
the woman having a battered can
slung ON her forearm, one instructive
~ becomes suspicious. The suspicion
is confirmed when one discovers po-

Oriental Story with a Moral Told at a
Recent Supper.
The SahebZada Nasir Ali Khan
spent several weeks in New York in
December, the guest of Jeffrey Duveen.
The Sahebzada is graduate of the
University of Oxford. On New Years
eve, at supper party in his honor, the
talk turned to the subject of cheating
and deception, and thereupon the
young man said:
II suppose that our Old Rampur sto-
ry Of the cheating sweetmeat vendor Is
new here. 1t is story with a good
moral, and therefore l will tell it to
you.
There lived in Rampur a vendor of
sweetmeats whose wife had weak eyes.
One day this man went to see friend
at the bazaar, and he left his stall in
the woman's charge.
"Be careful, mind you, about the
change he said to ler; but neverthe-
less, when he returned home he found
that she had taken In a bad rupee

He could hardly sleep that night for
rage and sorrow. In the morning he
rose early, and, determined to get rid
OF the bad rupee, he set out through
the town

in my life had felt so light-hearted and
hopeful.

While I stood trying to remember. the
old gentleman re-entered the room.

of the cape models are warm, and not
few coats have cape finish. Consid-
cradle variety appears in this, the range
being from coats topped by capes of pen

grade.
Smooth cloths or rough cloths, that is
question. 1t would seem to be one that
manufacturers had been unable to an
swer to their satisfaction, for it seems az
ic they had provided both. Dressmakers
announce that broadcloths are to come
in again. 1t would seem as If they were

hand are many rough coated fabrics And
not only are there some Of these that
were not done to death at the time of
the last zibeline craze, but there are 9th
ers which plainly are brand new. Such
hardly can get the go-by altogether. It
is noticeable that the newer Of these
rough stuffs are soft, and that is their
best characteristic, for softness is to be
feature Of the winter fabrics. This
would seem greatly to favor the goods of
broadcloth grade, and likely they will
come out in the lead.

The very start of the last century is to
be the period from which designers are
to draw most freely this winter. The
styles of 1880 remain only in suggestions
seen here and there, and fashions Of a
still earlier day are replacing them. From
the latter time, for instance, are most

simple street dress are little affected by
this delying in the bygone, but once the
field of dressy get-ups is reached, the
fashions of a century ago are drawn on
very freely. Not a little quaintness re-

requires the expenditure Of much time
and money. A gown marked by quaint

Medal After Forty Years.


For nearly forty years a United
awarded to one John Hayes for dis
tinguished services on the old frigate
Kearsarge in her historic battle with
the Confederate ship Alabama has
been lying in safe in the bureau Of
navigation waiting to be claimed by
the man to whom it was awarded by
Congress, says the Philadelphia
Ledger.
Rusty, with it's ribbon frayed and
moth<aten, this medal has at last been
sent to its owner, who, after all these
years Of silence, recently wrote to the
Navy Department claiming the medal.
It's existence had been forgotten until
the arrival a few weeks ago of a let
ter from Muscoda, Grant county, Wis.
consin, from a man 20 years old, who
wrote that he had just learned through
the accidental reading Of an old navy
general order, dated 1864, that John
Hayes, cockswain of the frigate ,xear-
sarge, had been awarded a medal Of
honor for distinguished conduct in bat
tie.
He said in his letter to the depart
ment that he was the only John Hayes
who served on the Kearsarge In the
famous battle with the Alabama, and
that 1t must be he who is entitled to
the medal. He forwarded his enlist
ment and discharge papers, which
showed conclusively that his claim was
just
An investigation was made by the
bureau of navigation and the old med
al was found in the archives Of the de-
partment- It has been forwarded to
Mr.. Hayes with letter from the Sec
rotary OF the Navy, saying that he IL
entitled to 500 bounty, which he can
have as soon as he forwards the proper
af1davits. 1t is believed that this
