HELD UP BY THE POLICE.
Suspicion Aroused by the Style Of
Headgear Worn BY a Citizen.

For more than three score years I have
been resident Of this, my native. city,"
said an old gentleman to Star man yes
terday. land 1t has never happened but
once that I have been looked upon as a
suspicious character by the police, and
that once was only day or two ago." he
said with some show of undeserved hui
initiation.
Tell me all about it," sad the reporter
Then said the old fellow: 81 was stand
ing on the corner of 9th street and Penn
sylvania avenue in the forenoon of one of
those recent warm days. I was awaiting
an opportunity to cross the street when
some one came up alongside of me and
said 'Good-morning.' 1 replied to the cour-
teous salutation, and. turning about dis
covered that 1 had been addressed by
sergeant of police Then he said to me:
They want to see you at headquarters'
Upon my word 1 thought the good-looking
fellow was some one whom 1 had pre-
viously known. and who was disposed to
jolly me. but my impressions were dis
PEELED when he asked me my name and
where l lived, and 1 saw that he was &C
companied by another policeman.
Now you may imagine that L found my
self in quandary. l saw, however, that
l was in certain sort of way under ar
rest and set my mind at work trying to
hnd out what particular crime l had been
guilty of. In the meantime the policeman
who was with my captor was talking to
man on the sidewalk and calling the ser
geant who left me momentarily so that I
could have run away if L were capable of
running, and after moments talk be-
tween the two came back and said some
thing to me about being pointed out as
fellow who was wanted 1 don't know
what he was wanted for. but my police
man said that my headgear was similar
to that worn by that particular party.
''He promised to call on me and explain
the whole thing, but he did not, and the
only reason L can imagine for being held
up by the police was that wore hat like
that of some other man. Pretty hard lines.
isn't it?" he said, as he babe the reporter

WHEN A MOLD MAN TALKS.
Uncle Dan breaches a Homily Con-
corning the Objections of Friends.


81 surely run up against stump said
old Uncle Daniel, as his friends call him,
and who is now vergng on to his allotted
years of three score and ten, when l in
formed the folks who have always, in one
way or another, been dear to me. that l
was contemplating another embarkation on
the sea of matrimony.
II have a fairly decent income" continued
the old fellow. land there is no one de-
pendent upon me, what's the use OF all
this how'll" he querried. Even yesterday"
he went on, the man who has been my
bosom friend almost since We were chill
dren, said to me: Now look here, Dan,
this will never do; you white-hafred old
ghost If you get married again I'll chalk
your name off my list of friends That's
what he told me.
Now" said Uncle Daniel. I'm prepared
to preach a sermon or deliver a lecture
or whatever you please to call IT upon this
subject. This Directing friend of mine has
a wife and a loving family of children. They
are all grown and he is as happy as a man
can be- while l am entirely alone. If
l was a millionaire or anything like that
do you suppose my good friends would
get up on their hind legs and denounce me
as an old imbecile and in my second child
hood when L announced that 1 intended
to remarry? oh, no, Stree; you can bet
your boots they wouldn't emphatically
remarked the old man. 1t would be glad
of it. from everybody. They would ex-
press their best wishes and declare that
l ought to have some one to look out for
me and all that. Look out now and see II
you don't get an invitation to my wedding
in the course of time.
Uncle Dams friends are mean enough to
say that he only thinks he should take
unto himself a wife when he is troubled
with a bad case of liver trouble, and then
when he is in that condition there is no
woman in the universe so unwise as to con-
sent to be his helpmeet.

Little Wardrobe Etceteras.

Small round collars of embroidered lawn,
edged with Killed lace, form another ad-
dition to the wardrobe which will be very
popular this season, and these will be
worn over the collars of serge coats. They
possess this advantage, that they can be
washed over and over again. and will do
duty for numbers of last seasons Co.'S
tunes, which can be wonderfully fresh
ened and rejuvenated by this addition.
Another pretty addition to the toilet is
represented by the embroidered bretelles
which will be worn so extensively with
autumn blouses. These are brought from
the shoulder to the waist-back and 'front.'
and are connected In front with two or
three crossbars of embroidery to match,
the whole being edged with narrow frilled
lace.

For many a day the hostess has been

what on earth she Is going to do. There
Is limit to what even an ambitious hos

that hen" parties will be the order of the

American women We're the first to intro
duce hen" parties over here, and they
promoted very many successful gather
ings of the kind last summer. Mrs. James
Macdonalds, for instance, were particular
ly bright and interesting.
American women are invariably popular
with men-possibly because they are
natural and frank. In the circumstances
1t is odd that they should be the first to
organize the hen" gathering. But very
noticeable 1t is that American women
thoroughly enjoy the society of their own
sex. 1t remains to be seen whether this
form of festivities will be a success with
Englishwomen, but it most certainly is
going to be tried. Perhaps 1t will act as 1t

Special Correspondence of The Star.
LONDON, September Is, 1906.
People here are still laughing at the
kaisers recent speeches in Silesia. The
war lords" bombastic utterances are
never-failing source Of amusement to those
gifted with q sense of humOr, and his ap-
parently profound faith that God is the
natural ally of himself and his forefa theirs
Is astounding
In a speech delivered at an educational
conference soon after his accession the
kaiser referred to Divine Providence as
"Our Ally at Rosstach," where the French
suffered a most disastrous defeat at the
hands of Frederick and his great cavalry
general, Seydlitz. But the Berlin critics
will smile at the kaiser's assertion that
Frederick was never left in the lurch by
God, his old ally" for it will be remem-
bered that Frederick lost several important
battles during the seven years war. includ-
ing Prague and Kollin-the latter being the
greatest disaster that ever overlook the
Prussian arms before Jena. Moreover, In
Frederick's very first battle. Mollivity, he
thought that he had been left In the lurch
to such an extent that he positively put
spurs to his horse and galloped from the
field. and 1t was only after some hours
that he was overtaken by Schwerin and
informed that his troops had, after all,
been victorious.
Certainly at least Frederick did not de-
serve a divine alliance-whicf> would have
been a very one-sided affair, seeing that he
himself may be said to have been an
atheist. year or two ago the emperor
in swearing in some recruits committed
himself to the statement that only good
Christians could be good soldiers, though
this was before the Japanese had given
the world such convincing proof of their
military prowess. Thereupon a comic paper
at Berlin was bold enough to publish a car
toon showing Frederick standing before the
bar of history in company with some of
the greatest commanders of the pagan
world, and certainly the victor of Ross
bach was a pagan of the most unmitigated
kind, in his philosophical beliefs. as we'll AS
in his private morals-so much so that a
dual alliance Of the sort referred TO by the
emperor at Berlin was entirely out Of the
question.
