Then Joseph Dalton and James e.
Barry, stepfather and stepson, were
raigned, the former on the charge Of
drunkenness and the latter as complain
ing witness. AS evidence of a conflict which
occurred Thursday evening at the Dalton
fiat 705 South Sixteenth street, the de-
PENDANT presented an eye which would
not look well in print and which was said
to have been discolored by having been in
the direct line of movement of Barrys
fist Barry showed a lip which he alleged
was caught between his stepfather's teeth
during the melee.
Dalton testified the boy had been con-
sorting with young women whose charac-
ters would not square with the social
alignments and added that the women in
question were tenants at the fiat managed
by his wife. He declared his wife had
told him repeatedly to rebuke the boy,
which he did Thursday evening, only to
receive a blow on his right eye, which
could not perform its full function before
the peoples par Friday morning. While
Daltons left eye was doing yeoman serv-
ice for both optics. his right eye was in
sack cloth and ashes. Young Barry re-
torted by calling his stepfather the most
good-natured liar he ever heard. The
Judge dismissed Dalton, and at the same
time rebuked him for allowing women of
unsavory reputation to remain under his
roof.
Dalton has been in the police court be-
fore for having had. trouble with his wife,
who Is reported wearing the fgurative
unmentionables at the Dalton bailiwick.

Richard Morrison, a colored man, with
an end-of-the-world countenance and
heart filled with sorrow. was arrested
Thursday night by Patrolman Hudson, who
could see nothing but evil in a colored
man who would sell his guitar for a pit
lance Hudson sent Morrison and the
guitar in for investigation" But when
the matter was explained to the police
Judge Morrison was discharged.
Morrison was trying to sell his guitar
that he might buy his baby birthday
present. With no thoughts of crime in
his heart the man went out from his home
in South Omaha Thursday evening and
tried to sell that which he cherished the
most Of his worldly goods-his old guitar.
He did not think that some people might
look askance at a coiored man trying to
sell a guitar OF that the faint of suspicion
was on him. The pratte of that little
baby of his was as sweet to him as the
sound of his guitar. Thursday, being the
fourth birthday anniversary of the first
born of the Morrison household, the father
found himself without coin of the realm
with which to exchange for some little
token in remembrance Of the occasion.
All Thursday afternoon he twanged the
strings Of his instrument and made sweet
music for the bright-eyed youngster, who
played on the floor, unconscious OF the
heart-aches which are part of the after

FRIDAY,

Captain Casio and his crew who
rescued the passengers from the
stranded ship Cherokee which
grounded off Atlantic City a few
weeks ago, are to receive Carnegie
medals and something more substan-
tial in the way of a financial reward.
Not only that, but the little son
of the captain is to receive an edu-
cation and $1,000 has been set aside
by the Carnegie commission for that
purpose. This is truly getting rid of
ones money in a noble cause. 1t is
probable that Captain Casio never
dreamed what the outcome would be
when he set sail from on that event

THE MIRROR OF FASHION,.
Shirtwaist Suits as They Are To-Day
The Vogue of the Thin
Frock.

Not many shirtwaist suits are seen,
but they are too useful to be allowed
to perish altogether. One well-known
house makes a specially of these
| gowns, and this year is showing a sur
plice waist model which is very pref
ty. indeed. Plaid flannel is used with
good effect for these suits. One of the
prettiest shirtwaist suits seen lately
was made of black and white shep-
herds plaid, with a bar of pale blue
running through it. The skirt was
box plated, the plaits being stitched
about six inches below the belt. The
waist was also box plated and closed
invisibly. The neck was cut out just
a little, and had a fiat, round collar.
Underneath was a transparent guimpe
and collar. A pale blue kid belt was
worn.
The soft fancy silks are admirable
for shirtwaist suits to be worn at
home. They are made very much as
they have been all summer, and are,
in fact. summer gowns. Every year
the fashion of wearing thin gowns in
the house increases. Many young
women wear white linen skirts and
waists the year around for morning
gowns.
A green and blue checked taffeta
made a charming little house gown.
The skirt was sur plated, and the
blouse was a surplice laid in fine, full
plaits on the shoulder. The surplice,
which showed a great deal of the
guimpe, was outlined with a rich silk
braid in which green, blue and deep
orange shades were seen. The blouse
was open over the guimpe TO the waist
line.
A new waist has been devised in
which there is no opening except the
neck. 1t is adapted to soft silk and
cloths, and to wash material. The
waist may be made in any model. but
always has a deep inverted plat on
the shoulders. A double line of tiny
buttons fastens the edges of the plaits,
and when these are unbuttoned the
extra cloth is released. the opening is
large enough for the head and Shout.
ders to slip through. For children's
dresses the model is to be especially
commended. 1t is also well adapted
to collarless blouses.-N. Y. Evening
