DON'T BE A SLAVE TO ETIQUETTE.
BY Juliet v. Strauss.

Certain things have been invent
ed for the use of people who are not
born noble enough to do without
them, two of which are law and eti-
quette. Neither is requisite for ma
ture's nobleman, but unfortunately
such individuals are scarce, so the
above named institutions flourish.
By law we do not mean those
natural laws of chastity and honor,
which institute themselves, but
those other statutes and limita-
tiOns on the hither side of which

TUESDAY EVENING. OCT. 1. 1907

A DISPATCH from Berlin says that b t
Ter charges Of immortality and hypocrisy
are made against America by Maxim
Gorky, in a sensational new novel print
Ell ia Germany and Russia which has
made its appearance simultaneously al
Leipsic and Moscow. Gorky in tbis
publication exDounds his views OF sexual
relations and free love. Gorky defends
bis action in taking 10 America a woman
who was not bis wife. He retaliates for
The treatment accorded him in the United
States when the identity Of his compan-
ion was discovered by his denunciation
of that country. He inFis:s America IS
the NEST immoral country in the world,
saws divorces are most abundant here and
that society is corrupt TO the core. 10
both Ldpsic and Moscow the book has
been confscattd, the censors declaring 1t
a menace to pablo morals. It's circula-
ton will not be PERMITTED unless many
passages are omitted. Gorky was, very
properly, run out of the country by pnb-
lie opinion. There are doubtless many
things in the United States to which
exception could be taken, but, fortu-
pately, but a small percentage OF the
people Of the nation sympathize with
Gorky, and they are rot native and to
the manner born.

PLAYED SEVENTEEN INNINGS.

In one OF the greatest baseball games
ever seen in Philadelphis, Detroit aud
Philadelphis, who are making senss-
tionsl fight for the American League
championship, yesterday played each
other to a standstill. The game wen;
seventeen innings and was called by the
umpires because it was too dark to play
any longer. Both teams were worked
up 10 high pitch and going strong.
and neither side wanted to quit, although
the street lamps surrounding the grounds
had already been lighted. There being
no result, the positions of the teams re-
main the same, Detroit having lead Of
seven points. Each team has seven
more games on its schedule before the
season ends. Had it not been for the
fact that two games we're TO have been
played, necessitating an esrly start, the
game would not have gone seventeen
innings. IL was remarkable contest
in many ways, snd the crowd that saw
1t was probably the largest that ever
gathered in a ball grounds in that city.
The official paid attendance was "a, 127,
but seversl thousand more persons gained
admission on passes or otherwise.

ANOTHER ARREST.

While the mystery in the case Of
Miss Amelia Weiss, The yOurg girl who
stated that while with John Mullen
near Rosslyn, Alexandria county, last
Sunday afternoon, her companion was
beaten with club and shot by burly
negro, who afterwsrd dragged her into
ravine and detained her there for
nearly an hour, has not been fully cleared
up. 1t seems certain that the assailant
was not negro, bat white man, and
Mullen declares that it was q brother Of
Miss Weiss.
Miss Weiss yesterday repeated her
statement that 1t was colored man
who assaulted Mullen, and when con-
fronted with Cation Heron, who was ar
rested because he answered the descrip-
ton that she gave of the assailant, de-
clared that Heron looked and talked
like the man who had committed the as
saul. Heron, however, has established
a perfect abb.
Mullen declared to his brother, Ernest
L. Mullen, who visited him at the
Georgetown Hospital, that it was q
white man, and he added that be be-
lieved it was brother of Miss Weiss,
who lives in southwest Washington, and
not Emile Weiss, the young man who
wss arrested Sunday night. Charles
Weiss, a baker, of 1923 Four-and-a-
half street southwest, brother of the
girl, w6s later arrested. He was sur
rendered 10 the Virginia authorities.
Weiss shoutly denies the charge, and
says be can prove an alibi.
Miss Weiss's description Of her assail-
ant is said by the police to be so general
that it would fit any colored man 10 the
vicinity. George Bradley is one Of the
colored men who has been arrested, but
he proved an slibj, as well as Cation Her
rob. Two other colored men have also
been arrested.
AS yet no operation has been perform
ed on John Mullen, the companion Of
Miss Weiss, who lies at the Georgetown
University Hospital in critical condi-
ton. 1t was announced that an effort
was to have been made to remove the
bullets from his neck and thigh yester-
day, but when the time for the operation
came the physicians thought it best TO
delay until the general condition of the
patient improved. Because Of the locs-
tion of the injury to Mullen's mouth it
has been impossible for him to eat any
solid fods, and last night the physicians
stated that complications had developed
making 1t impossible for him 10 take any
nourishment whatever.
Yesterday Miss Weiss, accompanied
by her mother, called at the hospital, in
hopes of being allowed to see The injured
man. The hospital officials, however,
because of the weakened condition of the
young man, we're compelled to refuse
them the privilege.
Though still in highly nervous state,
the young girl showed great improve
ment yesterday, and WAS able TO furnish
Mr.. Msckey with several important facts
concerning the alleged attack which she
had failed to mention before.
People in the county question the
story of Miss Weiss.
