OFFICIAL CUT AND DECORATIONS.
Suits of the Peter Pan type are much liked by
young girls, but they must have shapely neck
and piquant little personality to look well
in them Fleshy women should leave them severe
ly alone.
OF course, such suit requires an extra gar
unent, the breeze after nightfa and on cool days
has real teeth in its scurrying blasts.
Any garment that possesses official stamp
in its makeup becomes Immediately fashionable
with young people. Some of the daughters of
naval officers have had their coats and sailor
suits drafted after the same models as those en-
ployed for Uncle Sans sailors.
There is one objection, however, to the suits
made from the patterns worn by the "Jolly
Tars," and that is while the garments have the
proper effect and cut from naval point of view,
the seams are drawn low on the shoulders and
the sleeves loose and baggy
On some of the coats appear what corresponds

MRS. HARTJE WINS
Wife of Pittsburg Millionaire Exon
Grated by Court.

PITTSBURG, Dec. 13.-The celebrat-
ed Hartje divorce suit has terminated
in a decision for Mrs. Hartje, the re-
spondent, Judge Robert S. Fraser, sit
ting in the common pleas court, decid-
ing that Augustus Hartje, the million
aire wall paper manufacturer, had not
proven infidelity.
The courts decision was a complete
exoneration of the woman who was so
bitterly assailed by her husband when
he named as one of several correspond
ents a negro coachman.
Judge Frazer made no reference to
the question of alimony, but the chill
their mother.
The court costs of the entire proceed
ings must be paid by Hartje.
Last August the millionaire plaintiff
offered to pay his wife S250,000 to set
tie the case out of court before Judge
Fraser rendered his decision. OF this
sum $4,000 was offered as damages
and the 100000 as double the amount
the respondents father, John Scott,
had expended in his effort to clear his
daughters name.
The suit for divorce filed by Mrs.
Hartje will be tried when 1t is reach
ed in the regular order.
Mr.. Hartje announced he would take
an appeal from the present decision.
The divorce case was the most SEN
sational ever tried in Pittsburg.

new PIER FOR
ASBURY PARK
Agreement Reached for the Con.
struCtiOn Of a Steel Structure
TO Cost 100000.

ASBURY PARK, Dec. 13:-AfteI
repeated conferences and negotia'
tions since last September an agree
ment has been reached between the
fublic Grounds Commission of AS
bury Park, and the Pier Development
company, of Trenton, under which
an amusement pier lease will be pre-
sented to the council for approval
next Tuesday night.
Inc agreement will have important
bearing on the future development
Oh the Asbury Park beach front. IT
calls for the construction immediate
ly OF a three hundred thousand dollar
amusement pier, near Second avenue
and the site OF the old fishing pier.
For the valuable privilege granted
and the further stipulation that no
other pier shall be constructed on the
Asbury Park beach front for ten years
the city will receive $9,475 per an
mum, or a total of $1S7,500 for a
period of twenty years.
1t is proposed to extend the piers
between seven hundred and eight
hundred feet. At the entrance east
of the boardwalk there will be a the
atre, still further out a music pavil-
ion and also a skating rink. Other
features will help to make the strlc-
ture one of the most novel amuse-
ment centers on the New Jersey coast.
Money for the enterprise has been
fully subscribed by Trenton capital
lists. Fred j. Margarum is the prin-
cipal promoter. Under the agree
ment arrived at the charge of admis-
sion to the pier, which will be made
of steel, is limited to ten cents, ex-
cept Saturdays, Sundays and holidays,
when twenty-five cents may be charg-
ed. Small pleasure craft and private
yachts will be allowed to make land
ings.
Nothing since the purchase of the
beach front has SO thoroughly arous-
ed enthusiasm in Asbury Park as the
contamination of this agreement.
The pier company intends to begin
work as soon as the necessary papers
are executed, and Mr.. Margerum
states that a part of the structure
with the theatre will be completed in
time for the summer season of 1907.
Beach Commissioners Bruce S.
Keator and Clarence E. Steiner will
retire from the board January /. A
new commission to be appointed by
the mayor will expend $150,000 in
further improvements to the Asbury
Park beach and boardwalk. Con-
tracts have been given out for an ex-
tended system of concrete j~etties,
and a handsome new pavilion will be
erected at the north terminus of the
boardwalk.

OF WATER
ON STATEN ISLAND
Buildings Destroyed by Fire for
Lack of Pressure and Many Fami-
lies Suffer Hardships.

NEW YORK, Dec. 13:-Scarcity OF
water on Staten Island was never
more full demonstrated than of late.
Numerous fires which, because of the
poor water service, compelled the
firemen to stand by and see buildings
destroyed, was the best evidence of
the need of an improved water supply
system on Staten Island.
At various parts of Staten Island
at the present time there is a scare
ity of water and residents are greatly
Inconvenience. Especially in the
hill sections is this the case, but
some houses in the lower sections are
also without water and have been for
a long time. 1t is a common sight
daily to see women carrying pals of
water from nearby wells and cisterns,
and in cold weather the hardship is
greater than it was during the sum-
mer, when also there was a scarcity
of water.
At the American docks, Tompkins-
vile, which was visited by four dis
astrous fires in less than a omnth, ev-

vent a recurrence of the lack of wa
ter for fire fighting that was expert
enced at the time of the fires, and in
the work of reconstructing the build
ings, a novel departure is the con-
struction of an immense water tank
capable of holding thousands of gal
Ions. The tank is on top of a high
steel tower and is the highest object
on the shore.
The poor lighting service is now a
secondary consideration to Staten ISL
anders, who have learned to put up
with that inconvenience. Lack Of
water is even more embarrassing.
At a fire Saturday night at the Quar-
ry, Elm Park, there was not enough
pressure in the mains to permit the
firemen to fight the flames and they
had to stand by and see the huge
stone crusher burn to the ground
with only n feeble stream playing
on the lower portion of the structure.

SUIT over CANNON
Former Sheriff Carman and the
Fountains Are Defendants.
Special to the EVENING NEWS:

NEW BRUNSWICK, Dec. 49,
Former Sheriff William Carman is d
defendant with Thomas II. Dallett G.
Company in a suit brought by Elijah
Smith, an Oregon capitalist, for the
value of some old cannon The cap
italist also has a suit for $500
against Former Director of the Board
of Freeholders Asbury Fountain and
James, his brother, also for some can
non. The suits will be tried at the
present term of court here.
Smith some time ago bought up a
lot of ordnance at Fort Hamilton at
the suggestion of Malcolm Peters
ton, the idea being that they could
break it up and make money on its
sale. Smith bought in $4,000 worth
of old guns and being unable to break
them at the fort sent the cannon to
land owned by the Fountains which
they rented. 1t cost $1,500 to trans
port the cannon there.
Smith was unable TO look after the
business here being called west and
Peters organized the United States
Metal and Wrecking Company. Soon
afterward Peters left the place and
went to California to manage a lemon
ranch and business became neglected.
In their absence the Fountains at
tached three cannon for rent and
they were sold at sheriff's sale for
SIT. The Dailett Company got an
other lot of cannon for supplies.
These We're sold for $3.50, Mr.. Smith
claims the cannon were worth much
more and that he has been unable
TO get any trace of the rest of the
ordnance taken to Old Bridge. Be
acuse of his loss he sues for damage.
