FIGHT IN
GEORGETOWN JAIL
Row Between Prisoners
Stopped in Time to Pre-
vent General Melee
COMBATANTS PLACED IN IRONS
speoIaI 70 The EvenIng journal


Georgetown, Aug. 1s.-There was a
serious row in the Sussex county Jail here
yesterday, the facts Of which became
known today. Occurring so soon after the
recent wholesale escape of prisoners. it
has brought the antiquated prison into ad-
ditional notice.
Theodore Bell. colored, who is serving
sentence Of nine months for the larceny
Of chickens. and william Lewis. also
colored, who is held as a witness against
1--WE negroes charged with selling liquor
without a license at seaford, were the
chief participants in the fight.
Lewis used a club with telling effect on
his opponent. but Bell. who is stoutiy
built. succeeded in knocking Lewis down.
Then Bell jumped upon his antagonist
and was pummeling him in great shape
when Sheriff Lynch and his deputies ran
to the scene and stopped the brawl
The other prisoners would doubtless
soon have joined in the fight and made
it a general melee had not the sheriff and
his deputies succeeded in stopping the
trouble. The principal combatants were
placed in irons. but they stin threaten
to "get even" with each other. Sheriff
Lynch. however. will keep a strict watch
on all Of the prisoners.

It is expected that he viii have

on them the necessity Of reaching an

fore the Russian and the Japanese en-

Today was "Glazed Kid" day in Will
mington and hundreds Of people thronged
the streets to inspect the beautiful dis
plays in the show windows Of leading
merchants throughout the city.
For those merchants whose windows
we're most artistically decorated The
Evening Journal offered prizes and in
order that Judgment might be passed
fairly Herbert ]. Tily Of the firm Of Straw
bridge and Clothier consented to inspect
the decorations and name the prize win
ners. After close inspection Mr.. Tily
awarded the prizes as follows:
First Prize $40 to Lppincott & CO.
Second Prize-S7.50 to The Douglass Shoe
Company.
Third Prize-s5 to Wright & Davidson.
Fourth Prize-S2.50 to Kennard and Com
pany.
In judging the windows for the second
prize Mr.. lilly found that although the
Douglass Company had a beautiful display
she displays of Gallaher and Pyle and
Charles f. Rudolph were each Of a
nature that deserved consideration and
accordingly recommended that two special
prizes should be offered and the Journal
willingly consented 20 the proposition.
WAY TO DRESS WINDOWS.
In speaking of the proper manner in
which to make window displays Mr. lily
said: The feature Of show window
is first to compel the attention of the
people TO it and afterwards to convince
them that there is something in its con-
tents which is OF use 70 them This can
be done in tw oor three ways, especially
IN an artistic manner by the use Of GER
tain effects IN lighting. etc. The window
which is artistically decorated is more
apt to hold attention and leave an inn
preston on the mind OF the observer than
one which is not. Judging these windows
from a glazed kid standpoint and the
uses to which glazed kid can be put. I
recommended the awarding Of prizes to
the merchants named"
MANY HANDSOME DISPLAYS

doubtedly the most attractive that have

DoLLIEs WERE REMEMBERED
Thousands Of dolls in wilmington have
new slippers today. This was Dolls Day
of the Glazed Kid week and 1t was a
great success. Early in the morning, even
before the stores were opened little girls
accompanied by their mothers. could be
seen vending their way toward Market
street where the Snellenburg store was
giving away the doll slippers. Many of
the tots had slept little during the night
as their minds We're filled with the pres
ents to be received by their dollles later
on the morrow. They must have been up
with the sun as they were all up and
dressed in their best clothes before the
day was very old.
Probably so many dolls were never on
Market street before. They were in their
stocking feet so that no time would be
lost in fitting the slippers to their feet ir
the store AS soon as the door Of the
store was open the steady stream which
poured into II all day started into the
salesroom. The dolls were Of an sized but
all Of them were dear to the hearts Of th,
little mothers.
1t was a pretty sight to watch the girls
going into and leaving the store. Attract
ed by this sight hundreds Of people VIII,
had cutgrown the doll stage congregate6
around the store and enjoyed the concer
given by Egans and. Although the morn
ing orush at the store was great the az
