Ilaht-hued Shoes.

Even the shoes Of light hues have
been taken under consideration.
It looks like piece Of bees wax or
brown soap, and contains a little OF
everything, even rubber.
Best OF all, it isn't messy" One
simply rubs it over the soiled places
until they are clean.
This will also clean suede kid,
though there is a new cream that Is
somewhat better for suede.
Though both these cleaners act
we'll on white buckskin, nothing is
better than the whitewash-like prep
aration with which all are familiar.
This, however, is a whitewash rath-
er than cleaner, and so, at inter-
vals, the shoes should be washed IN
soapsuds. After being quickly dried
the "whitewash" is applied. 1t is
equally good for white linen shoes.
The gayer the shoe the worse 1t
looks unless it be "spick and span"

Barber Shop and Rules.

II was at barber shop yesterday
afternoon, on First avenue, that 1t
happened.
"Next!" shouted the barber, who
had just dealt with a customer. Two
persons at once sprang from the
chairs where they had been waiting
patiently and approached the knight
Of the razor each looking ferociously
and inquiringly at the other. One OF
them was an elderly parsonage, evil
dently from the country, the other a
young sprig Of city breed, whose
down had just begun to indicate the
slow and uncertain approach OF
beard.
(Which Of you is next?" asked the
barber.
"I am" said the young man.

Simply this. Beauty goes before

best Of me by that rule Of his, and
come to think Of it, he's right accord

Indeed? What is the rule where

young fellow, as he fixed himself
comfortably in the BARRIERS chair.

the negro that ne did not have that
much money in the house. The ne
gro ordered him to go to Belmont
and get the money. He compelled
Hess to hitch up horse and buggy
and ordered him to get in with his
wife and child.
The negro then saddled another
horse, and, mounting it, told Hess to
drive toward Belmont, and when near

and child to get out Of the buggy
and enter a deserted shanty. The
negro then told Hess to drive to Bel
mont and to send the money back

or he would kill his wife and child.
Hess hurried to Belmont and got
the money, and sent it back by the
negro preacher The desperate i'm.

Says Judge Who Presided at
Two of Her Trials.
SCATHING ARRA|GNMENT
Astonishing and Sensational Assertion
Made by Judge Davis During
Dinner Of Lawyers Club In
New York City.

Somewhat to the astonishment Of
those present at the monthly dinner
in New York city Monday night of
the Phi Delta Phi Club, an organi-
zation Of lawyers, Justice Vernon NJ.
Davis of the supreme court Of the
state Of New York, who was the
guest Of honor, gave his opinion as
to the guilt OF Nan Patterson, while
making an argument in defense OF
Assistant District. Attorney Rand, who
had prosecuted the young woman at
her three trials for the murder OF
Caesar Young.
Justice Davis, who presided at the
first two trials Of the former chorus
girl, said that she had lied from be-
ginning to end, and it was his opin-
ion that the majority of the COM
munity now believed that Miss Pat
terson held the pistol by which Young
was shot that J. Morgan Smith
bought the weapon and gave 1t to her,
charging ker at the time with the duty
of soaring" Young.
In the middle Of the Justices re-
marks the reporters were asked to
leave the room, but before they had
reached the door they were called
back by the speaker, who said that
he left 1t to their discretion as to
just what parts Of his speech were
to be used.
eve have heard a great deal in the
public press of late of severe criti-
cism of Mr.. Rand and his conduct
of the trial." said the justice. "You
can't prosecute criminal without
telling what you believe to be the
truth.
I'm the second trial before me, the
defendant went on the stand, and 1t
was quite obvious that she was tell
ing falsehoods from beginning to end.
TIE very air seemed charged with the
= fact that she was lying. Yet she wan
a woman; she was young; It was nat.
ural that the public should sympathize
with her. People seemed to know
that she was not telling the truth, and
the great public Of New York said.
Why shouldn't she lie? Let her lie.
Let her get the benefit Of her lies.'
"But today in the light Of the last
disagreement, I feel sure that mos:
people are, convinced-that a major
ity Of the people believe-that the
pistol that killed Caesar Young was
held by Nan Patterson; was dis
charged by her; was bought by J.
Morgan Smith, in an attempt to get
money from Caesar Young for the
support of the combined family.
81 don't mean to say that she took
the pistol from the reticule and shot
him in tho side, but do believe that
she had tho pistol and showed 1t to
Young. An argument followed, and
he took hold Of the weapon. In the
conversation and subsequent strug-
giles, the pistol went of, and the
man was killed. believe, moreover,
that had she told the story on the
witness stand as it really happened
in other words, had she told the truth
that the second jury would have
acquitted her"

Matching Shades to Dodge Them.

Matching Shades to Dodge Them.
Before trying to match the sample
OF silk the clerk asked:
us this a piece Of something you
want, or something you don't wants"
"Something I want, Of course" re-
piled the customer, with aspertty.
You don't suppose, do you, that l
would go to all this trouble for Z
thing I can't use"
"Some folk do," said the clerk.

first woman 1 ever saw with that kind
Of bee in her bonnet had square
inch Of blue silk that she wanted me
to match. The scrap Of silk was so
small that it was hard to make COM
parsons, but after hauling down half
the blue bolts On the shelves and rum
ming to the door several times to test
the color in broad daylight, found
the exact shade.
"'How many yards do you want,
nadame?' I asked.
"'Oh,' said the woman, I don't
want any. Almost any other piece
will do. That particular shade Is very
unbecoming. I just wanted to make
sure that I don't get it, that's all.'"
The customer laughed. What did
you say?" she asked.
"Td rather not tell" said the clerk.
"Anyhow, since then have been eau
tious. Before matching a sample now
I inquire as politely as possible into
a cutomer's intentions. II it's case

The imposing process sion was preceded and followed by cavalry regiments.
 The reception all along the route was of the most enthusiastic character. The royal carriage was showered with flow CTS as it passed under the windows ol residences.

FRACTURED MANS ARM.
IlsmsoAtvsed Employss Qaarrslsd
 at Factory This Morning.

John Cuscio, an emplOye of the Plume X Atwood Manufacturing Co, got into q discussion with country man in the shop this morning and after exchanging opinions about each other they went at each other with their fists and indulged ill lively bout for a few minutes. Cuscio didn't appear to be making much headway with ms hands and being anxious to do up ms man, he got hold of stout stick ana gave him few cracks that laid lmm out. One of the blows fractured' the mans arm and when Cuscio saw that he had knocked the fight all out of him he made wild dash for the office and rushed into the street bare-headed and without his coat. The sight or the fleeing man caused everybody in the shop and those on the street to con clude that somebody had been killed, and for an hour or so people were hur- rying to and fro trying to find out all the particulars. The case was report ed to the authorities and warrant was issued for the arrest of Cuscio and turned over to the police, but it is not likely that they will find him right away.
 This is about the worst offense one can commit in factory and as a rule the management of every concern not only see that such offenders are pun ished. but also put them to the trouble of looking up another job. Bosses put up with some annoyance from time to time on the part of help. but fight is the limit and the man that starts one is bound to pay well for his sport. It is evident that Cuscio was aware of this and decided to take the first op- portunity to make his escape. Every body gave him the right of way, so that he experienced no trouble in get ting out into the open and seeking some retreat before the officers were apprised of what had happened.
