STENOGRAPHER STABBED.
She IL Likely to Die: Boy Cut. Too-Puzzle
From Diamond Dealers once.

Bella Hecht, II years old, and JACOB
Meyrowitz, a lad Of is, are in the Hudson
street hospital the latter a prisoner charged
with stabbing the girl. Both are employed
in the Office Of Meyrowitz Bros, dia-
mond merchants at 81 Maiden lane, the girl
as stenographer and the hoy as Office mes
senger.
The two were apparently good friends.
1t has been the practice OF the members Of
the firm to go to lunch together at about
10 o'clock, leaving the office In charge Of the
boy and girl.
Tenants Of the building were sta tied
about 1890 yesterday afternoon by the
screams Of the girl. Harry Peck, a sales
man for G. W. Seymour, in an adjoining
Office, rushed to Meyrowitz- Bros.' place.
AS he opened the door, the girl fell into
his arms.
She was covered With blood and was
holding her hand to her abdomen over a
| terrible cut, from which blood was pouring.
On the floor lay young Meyrowitz bleeding
from several wounds in the arms and legs.
Near. by a a bloody. c~laspknife with a
four inch blade.
Peck carried the girl to his office and,
first wrapping a towel tight about her,
ran to the street and had a policeman cali
an ambulance, He then nj back for
the boy. AS ne stoopod 10 PICK nun up
the youngster, Peck says, grabbed the knife
and tried to stab him, But he was easily
disarmed and carried down to the ambu-
lance.
As the girl sat waiting for the surgeon
she said she had been stabbed by some one
who looked like Jacob"
The boy wouldn't talk.
Later. in the hospital, they both told a
disjointed story Of some one breaking in to
rob the place and stsbbing them when they
tried to protect their employers property.
The police say there is no indication Of any
one having entered the Office by the door
OF windows. The stabbine was done in a
space partitioned off, where the girl had
been eating her lunch and reading a novel.
Janitor Rutson Of the building says
Young Meyrowitz showed him the knife
with which the stabbing was lone on Thurs
day evening. eaying he had found il. The
ianitor said the blade had been newly
ground and was very sharp.
Coroner Acritelh is invest eating the
case. The girl was operated on last night.
The doctors think her chances Of recovery
are very poor. Her employers say that she
is of a good Brooklyn family. They spoke
very highly Of her. The boy is said to be a
nephew of the members OF the finn. Bella
Hecht's home is at 81 Cour street. Brook
lyn; Meyrowitz lives at 8 West ll7th street,
Manhattan.

SOME NEW PARTISAN LINGERIE.
CoIors In Blouses Very Fashionable
Especially the DeIicate Tints.
BERTHA BROWNING.

In the new Paris lingerie, the
fashion is to have sets of chemise,
drawers and short petticoat of the
same material and type, and all
trimmed in the same manner. Main
sock and very fine batiste are the ma
terials usually employed for their con-
struction, the mode Of silk underwear
being for the time abandoned. There
are two new fabrics called silk main
sock and silk chiffon, both cotton, but
of very fine weave, and which do not
lose their glossy appearance in wash
ing. These materials have much the
appearance of silk and in garments
made of them lace is profusely used.
The lace composes much of the upper
portion of the chemise and the sleeves
which are of bell shape reaching al.
most to the elbow. These are open

nearly to the shoulder over the fore
arm, where they are loosely tied with
succession of ribbon bows. In lin
gerie garments the square neck is
preferred to the round this year, and
this is always finished with band Of
lace or embroidery.
The empire form Is, Of course, very
fashionable for chemises, but, while
it Is a pretty cut, it needs to be made
Of very fine material else it's straight
form will lie in folds beneath the cor
set. Most chemises nowadays are
shaped in under the arms so as to do
away with this extra width at the
waist-line. A pretty finishing to take
the place of sleeves and shoulder parts
on a garment to be worn with decol-
lette dress, consists Of ribbons which
tie on the shoulders and may be un.
| tied and slipped beneath the bodice
when worn with the evening gown.
The Japanese nightgown of quite
loose cut is a decided novelty. This
has rows of little tucks descending
from the shoulder and extending half
way down the figure. A double band
of insertion starts at the foot OF the
gown, passes by the side Of the tucks
over the right shoulder and around
the neck at the back, meeting in the
centre of the front at the waistline.
The sleeves are loose and flowing as
BELTS a garment of this nature. Few
nightdresses have collars, most OF
them being finished with straight
bands of embroidery or lace.
CHARMING DRESSING SACKS.
Some very jaunty little dressing
sacks of silky batiste or nainsook are
being constructed. These are entire
ly ACCORDION pleated, except for por-
ton of the sleeve. Lace and insertion
surround the throat, and for those of
Empire cut, a band of the same marks
the high waistline in back and in
front rises over the bust to be fastened
with ribbons. Some Of these lingerie
tea jackets have broad and elaborate
collars which reach over the Should
erS.
Another new conner is the blouse
waistcoat of embroidered linen, batiste
or mousseline de sole. This Is made
without sleeves and drawn in about
the waist with a tape to adjust the full
ness in front. These are designed to
be worn with lingerie suits of which
long or short jacket forms a part.
Lingerie petticoats are Of increasing
daintiness. They are for the most part
deliberately trimmed, the top portion
being of sheath-like cut and fitting
without a bit of fulness. They are
completed with broad fiounces OF
tucks, embroidery and lace. Some OF
these flounces show several frillings
of lace or embroidery. while others
are elaborate with hand-embroidered
designs.

SUGAR BEETS AND MOLASSES.
An acre of sugar beets will produce
224 gallons of alcohol. Our vast irri-
cation projects in the West are water
ing lands which will soon produce
sugar beets more profitably, perhaps,
| than any other crops and the molasses
from these crops can readily be turned
into alcohol. A waste product of the
ca e sugar mill, known as "base mo-
lasses," would be another available
source of our commercial alcohol sup
| ply. Millions of gallons of this pro-
duced in all 'the Central and South
American countries and the West In
dies are now largely burned, fed 10
animals or destroyed, although a por-
ton is dumped on our shores at almost
any price above freight. At New Or
leans, Boston and Brooklyn it is be-
| ing worked up into inferior liquors.
| The alcohol made from it has a dis
| agreeable Odor and taste. But if re-
pulsivo matter must be added to It
to make it undrinka' ana tax-free
under the new bill, it will serve as
well as any other alcohol thus manu-
featured for power, heat and light
Already in Cuba such alcohol from
this base molasses is being made at
| 10 cents per gallon. The base mo-
lasses itself can be had at New York
at cents gallon. A similar grade
of base molasses is turned out as
| by-product by our beet sugar factories.
Ten factories of Michigan send their
produce to a distillery in that state
and produce from it about half mil
! lion gallons of absolute alcohol. But
this by-product of our beet sugar fac
tories. generally goes to waste in other
states. Yet we sit by and bemoan the
decreasing supply and increasing price
iof coal, the diminishing supply of
wood, wonder where we shall turn
next for power, heat and light
whether we shall harness the moon
with tide motors or the sun with solar
engines! Moreover, the production Of
eastern petroleum is falling off and
practically no gasoline is being found
| in the petroleum of Texas and the
West. And yet, according to DR..
Wiley, our farmers can grow any
amount of starch and sugar that may
be wanted for any purpose in the
world and not a pound of it would
take one element of fertility from the
soil.
COOPERATIVE DISTILLERIES.
That the farmers in all corn-grow-
| ing sections of the country should
| establish cooperative distilleries for
the sole purpose of producing this de-
natured'' industrial alcohol, is the
