be noticed from two to twenty women
CARRIED from toe-tip to feather-tip in

never for an instant mistake for mourn

as well as their dressmakers 80 carefully

precisely suit the occasion. Among the
well known women who wear exceedingly
smart black costumes are Mrs. Paul Nor.

appearance; Mrs. Hermann Oelrich. who
Is slighter than of yore. and Mrs. Pres
colt Lawrence, who looks stunning in
whatever she may elect to don. Mrs
Clarence Mackay occasionally wears all
black. even when not in mourning, and
there might be mentioned score Of
other fashionable women whose beauty Of
face or figure is best set out by the
inky hue which Hamlet's mother de-
plored In the melancholy young prince
lfng's new cloak.
For summer tailored costumes there is
a wide range of black materials

stitched collars, cuffs aud pocket-laps, or

sleeves as well as the shoulders and
waistcoats.
Elaborate street costumes designed for
church weddings. afternoon receptions
and the races are of marquisette, lans-

model. which. by the way, may be es.
sayed successfully by the tall or short,
the fat or lean woman. for the mission
of the modern dressmaker or tailor Is to
make the figure of each customer appear

feet. The same lace forms the sleeves,
the yoke and not infrequently the bolero
or surplice' which is then bordered with
the material of the gown.
An excellent combination In a three

blouse has pointed yoke and deep girdle

with embroidery. The same model may
be curried out by substituting taffeta for
embroidered net. Sometimes the heavier
material surmounts the lighter, as In the
case of an embroidered net skirt and
bodice and a long silk Empire coat with
Toxic sleeves, collar and bordering of
embroidered net.
Silk redingotes over semi-transparent
gowns are exceedingly smart, and closely
follow the lines Of the figure, with sleeves
small at the arm-size and farng widely
at the elbow. Many have short, pointed
vests. terminating below the bust with

in white, save that Inexpensive French
laces are frequently substituted for Val

class are the large and small dotted

do not fade.

STATEMENT FROM
 MANAGER SYKES
Action Must be Taken to Protect the Service in Early Evening
 Hours.

General Manager H. H. Sykes, ques- tioned last night as to the likelihood of the S. N, F. T. Co. raising the rates in night toll line charges, as the Amer ican Bell company had done on it's long distance lines and announcement of which is given below, said:
 The Southern New England Tele- phone company has noted the same overlooking of it's toll lines during the evening hours as has been the cause Of this action on the part of the Long Distance company Like the American Telephone & Telegraph company, we have spared no effort to rectify this by installing additional circuits and fa- cilities, but have now reached q point where undoubtedly a similar action on our part will be necessary, in order to protect the service of those whose calls must necessarily be made in the early evening hours, as against the service of those who delay their calls for the purpose of taking advantage of the re- duced rate. On the Southern New Eng lands lines however, the reduced night rate is applied only to tho maxi mum rate, i. e., to the 25 cent points, and if a change is made it will merely affect those who have to talk In gen. eral across the state"

 END IN MURDER Assailant Flees When He Sees Resultof Blow Police Are on His
 Track.

Struck down by his brother with a shovel, Bietta Erigutu, an Italian la borer living at 149 Lafayette street, was dealt a murderous blow yesterday af- ternoon which will probably result in his death. Erriquenzo, the assailant, escaped as soon as he saw that his brother was prone and has not been seen since, although the police are hot on his trail. The wounded man, who was a mason by trade, lies at deaths door in the New Haven hospital suf- fering from a compound fracture of the skull.
 No one was near when the brothers quarreled but as the men were work ing on a chimney at the round house of the New Haven road, several men in the yards happened to see Bieto fall under the terrible stroke dealt by his enraged brother.g The man, after sec ing that his victim was unconscious be- came frightened and ran away before he could be restrained, When the ann bulance got to the scene the wounded man was hurried to the hospital, but the surgeons pronounced him almost beyond aid.
 Police and detectives have been on the case ever since and although no one on the force knows the Italian by sight they have a fair description and hope to secure l1fns
 Both men were stone masons and had been in this country only a short time. Bioto Erigutu is about thirty-flve years old

 field, LOSS IS PREFERABLE His Place on the American Stage Cannot be
 Filled.
,OSS IS PREFERABLE

Flushed with the success of her opening performance of Tolstoi's great tragedy, Anna Karenina," Vir- ginia Harmed stated last night to a Journal and Courier reporter that the news of the death of Richard Mans field at New London yesterday morn ing was one of the greatest shocks of her life.
 T knew, of course, that MT. Mans field was quite ill, said Miss Harmed last night, "but I had been hoping that his condition was not so serious as the newspaper reports had made it out
 MT. Mansfield was great as an &C., tor but it was as man that I re- garded him especially. He was a man of high ideals and who put every energy and his whole life into his work Although never played with him, we Were great friends,
 What a great loss Mir Mansfield is to the American stage, especially in the production of the plays of oHdheSpeaTe, Iully FedllHe He Oc- cupied place which can be filled by no one else, and so his loss is ire parable, But it is the personal loss I feel especially"
 Miss Harmed said that the news of the death of MT. Mansfield wore upon her so during the day that she was in a very nervous state when the even ing performance, commenced. The skill with which she concealed her nervousness can be testified to by the audience, which enthused more and more over her acting as the play drew toward the close.
 Miss Harmed had known MT. Mans field for many years. She is the wife of E. H. Sothern, another great Shakespearean actor.

BOY IN CUSTODY
Daniel Long Arrested on Charge of
 Theft.

Daniel Long Arrested on a Charge of
 Theft.
 Daniel Long, of 124 Ashmun street, a schoolboy of seventeen years, was arrested and locked up late yester- day afternoon by Detective Dennehy, charged with theft, which may be changed to that of obtaining goods under false pretenses. It was a clev- CT dodge that the youngster is said to have worked. According to the police, Long on two occasions has called up wholesale cigar dealers and represented himself over the tele- phone as Christian H. Vordenbaum, of 1S7 Winchester avenue, a retail dealer. He would say that he was sending a boy down for two boxes of cigars to be charged to his account Then, it is charged, Long went to the wholesalers and took the cigars. On August and 24 he successfully did this, says the detective, The whole salers found out that some one was defrauding them, and yesterday, when telephone message came in, they sent word to Sergeant Dennehy, who met and arrested Long at the whole sale cigar store as he applied for the goods.
 Daniel Long was arrested on April 16 for breach of the peace, and judg- ment was suspended in his case. He comes of respectable parents.
