The celebrated Cass case was
begun this morning in United
States court before Judge Lu-
man F. Parker. The case has
been on the docket for several
years, but has been continued
from term to term until now.
The case was taken up this
morning. That it will be hard
fought both by prosecution and
defense was proved when the
selection Of the jury was begun
When court took a recess at noon
the jury panel had been ex-
hausted, and there were five
more jurors to select. Those
chosen at noon were: J. M.
Butler, Jesse Martin, w. W.,
Grow, John Weaver, Jr., w. W.

challenged for cause by both the
defense and the prosecution, and
the others of those examined
had been excused by the court.
Judge Parker ordered t h e
summonsing of an additional
panel at noon, and Marshal W.
II. Darrough at once began the
work. Theseven jurors already
selected were, at the request of

"Alfalfa Bill" Murray charged him

Special Cable to The Herald
PARIS, July 19.-The Paris Society for
the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals has
served notice on Baroness LaCase that
she must not permit any more cock
fighting in her salon, but her ladyship
having taken counsel, replied that there is
no law against cockfighting in fashion

have as many cockhghts as she and her
friends desire to witness.
The baroness is one of the most daring
women in all Paris, and her defiance is
generally applauded by the fast set, for
ever craving for new forms of excitement.
When the baroness introduced cockhght-
ing in her salon the area became dis
carded billiard table, the novelty was
readily taken up, and orders for fighting
cocks were dispatched to Spain and Port
ugal by a number of young bloods, and
even by some women.
At the first match at the baroness sa-
lon a cock belonging to Vicomte Louis
d d'Andigne was beaten though he was a
celebrated bird for whom the vicomte had
refused $4,000 francs.
The fighting birds wore the regulation
sharp steel spurs and an unknown cock
bored his through the vicomte's birds
head in the twelfth round, bespattering
the ladies and gentlemen forming ring
around the billiard arena with blood.
The defeat cost society a pot of money
since everybody has been betting on the
vicomte's bird, who had an enviable rep
utation as a fighter

acts as n kind of Maecenas.
He has cut himself off entirely from

Franchise, which is a sort of literary en-
tente cordiale between France and the
United States and Canada.
Mr.. Hyde refuses to be interviewed and
strictly bars newspaper men from his
home, as he thinks he has been too much
talked about already. The World corre-
spondent saw him as he returned from his
customary morning ride in the Bois de
Boulogne, dressed in cap, breeches and
short jacket, riding fine hunter. Throw

Mr.. Hyde trims his beard to point,

alertness than Is usual among Parisians
He speaks French oftener than English
His house is what is called here hotel;

spots in all the city. The door is opened
by an imposing footman. The house is
served by silent, we'll trained, discreet ser
wants in the best French style. The in

taste, without ostcntation, as If a French
artist had been given free hand to pro-
duce an interior corresponding to the

LONDON TAILoR'S PRIDE
WOUNDED BY BONE BUTTONS

Special Cable to The Herald.
LONDON, July 2O-That sartorial purist, the
Tailor and Cutter, edged a critic into the
crowd at Ambassador Reid's reception at Dor
chester house on July and prints the result
of his observations. The critic generously
admits that the garments worn on that occa-
sion both by the ladies and gentlemen were,
on the whole very creditable productions but
he excerpts specimens he saw of the obvious
ly American made garment, which failed
hopelessly from the point of view of taste
and artistic finish" Here is one of his COM
plants:
1--WE saw two or three fiat braided morning
coats and at least frock coat with bone
buttons in place of the more artistic silk top
buttons. which it is the rule of English firms
to use in this connection. To the eye trained
TO the fitness of things this outrage on good
taste was particularly saddening."
In regard to ladies' tailoring, the Ameri-
can garments fare badly. The critic says:
'.Thev build too much the principle of an
ironclad vessel, with layer upon layer of
plate, The body garment has heavy shape
less appearance, giving its wearer square,
SQUAT look which detracts greatly from the
stylish appearance which the general build
of the American lady places at the disposal
OF the tailor to enhance and beautlfy."
Lest, however, any international compli-
cations should arise from these strictures the
critic adds that they made in hostils
spirit but by one interested in the welfare
OF his American cousins and who is anxious
that their other activities, which they have
SO satisfactorily copied from the British, may
poon also include tailoring.

PARIS. July 21-Americans now in Paris.
who look at people well as places, are
noting an extraordinary number of wo-
men attired in deep mourning. On having his
attention particularly drawn to this outward
semblance of very general grief a man made
a brief investigation In the fashionable sec
tion and along the grand boulevards the num-
ber of women in mourning is large enough
to remark, but the spectacle was not as
impressive as he had been led to believe.
He was about to end the inquiry when in
the Latin quarter he noticed veritable pro-
cession of seemingly griefstricken woman
hood.
OF thirty women and girls who passed he
counted eighteen dressed in various stages Of
mourning Was it the alarming fact that
Trilby's old haunts had become a quarter
densely populated with widows?
NO you simpleton," said keen-eyed con-
cierge don't you how becoming the new
styles of mourning jewelry are to women of
clear complexons, and how they can't be
worn except with black dresses?'
A further tour OF investigation showed that
in all the jeweiry shops fashionable cheap
black jewelry formed an extensive part of the
display In one important shop on the Boule-
ward des Italiens, the opera, the whole
window was devoted to a show of this style

they represent American beauty they are
also typical of American haste, self-con-

They landed in Glasgow only recently.
Since then they have exploited Glasgow

Glasgow did not appeal strongly to the

it when they were there. Besides, they
were extremely anxious to see "a real

HE HOPES TO RECOVER
LONG MISSING LINK
Scientist Believes That Java Will Tell
True Tale of Man and Monkey
Theory-An Expedition
Formed
Special Cable to The Herald.

Special Cable to The Herald.
BERLIN, July 2O.-A distinguished
German scientist, DIR. Max Moskowski,
has arrived at Java in charge of an ex-
peditiory sent out to find the missing
link" between man and ape.
The expedition is being financed joint
ly by the Royal Prussian Academy of
Science and the Dutcn government, and
DR.. Moskowski, who is himself a zoolo-
gist, is accompanied by geologists, en-
gineers and an escort of troops provided
by the Dutch authorities. Java was
chosen as the destination of this eXpe-
dition because a Dutch scientist, Pro-
fessor Dubois, claimed to have found
the missing link there some twenty
years ago.
In the course of his excavations in
Java Dubois unearthed the remains of a
strange being, which could have been
neither man nor ape, but something be-
tween the two. These remains showed a
striking resemblance to the remains of
primitive man belonging to the Nearder-
thai race found in Wurtemberg. Dubois
claimed to have discovered the missing
link" and although his theory was at
tackled by Virchow and others, present
day scientists attach so much Importance
to the matter that DIR. Moskowsh has
been dispatched to pursue similar investi-
cations.
DR.. Moskowski will begin his excava-
tions in the valley of the Solo river in
the vicinity of the volcaL6 Davu, and will
carry on the work for at least a year in
ths-hope of finding the lost link. On his
way out to Java DR.. Moskowski visited
Cey,ou and found there fifty specimens
of the Vedd4h race, the primitive inhab-
itants of the island. The people OF this
race live in caves and have a mono
syllable language.
