After a thorough investigation. the po-
lice Of the Second precinct have reached
the conclusion that the negro who broke
into the nurses quarters OF the Episco-
pal Eye Ear, and Throat Hospital. 1l47
Fifteenth street northwest. early yester-
day morning, was familiar with the prem
ises, and that his purpose was not rob-
berry.
It was about 2 o'clock yesterday morn
ing. when Miss Murdoch. one of the
nurses. awoke and found a negro man
crouchlng beside her bed. She screamed,
and aroused other nurses in the room.
The young women tried 10 keep the in
truder from escaping, but were unsuc-
cessful. and after every one IN the hospital
had been awakened. notified the police
The police investigation showed that the
negro had gained entrance through a win
dow in the laboratory. and had escaped
through a basement window. Because OF
tne darkness, only a very poor description
could be obtained. and lttl~ hope Of cap
turing the intruder is entertained.

GEORGIA'S HOAX.

The country has scarcely recovered
from the thrill of horror caused by
the news that Senator Jeff Davis had
been we'll thrashed by high-collar-
ed Little Rock rooster, and now
comes the news that that great and
good statesman, Governor Hoax
Smith of Georgia, has been subject
ed to great indignities by a gang of
undesirable citizens. The dispatch
reads as follows:
"Bombarded with lemons and
hooted by crowd who added to their
noises with COW bells, Gov. Hoke
Smith was prevented from speaking
here in support of his candidacy for
second term
The incident. occurred at Marietta,
dilapidated old town few miles
from Atlanta, which used to have
some reputation as a summer resort
for the Georgia elite. THE AP-
PEAL fails to conceive of any good
reason for this violence OF. the prop
critics; for Hoax is a many-sided
man.
He cultivates the religious element
by being an elder in the Presby-
terian church and superintendent of
Sabbath school and conciliates the
bacchanalians by being part owner Of
the Piedmont Hotel bar.
Moreover, Hoax knows just what
should be done with the wicked
Afro-Americans, who are not Pres
byterian elders and do not own
shares in the Piedmont bar. He has
discoursed very sapiently concerning
their case and laid down wise laws
for their management. He knows
exactly what to do with them; but
it seems that the time he wasted on
higher education could have been
more pro6tably employed in learn
ing how to dodge fusi1ade of lem
ons and in outbraying an orchestra
of cowbells.

fastened in the back, although some
persons prefer to have them fastened
up the side, and for certain frocks it
is even possible to have the slip
fasten in front, which is convenient
if one is obliged to dress without
maid. But, alas! it is very rarely
practicable, for most frocks demand
the slip fastened in the back.
Narrow laces and small, dainty pat
terms in embroidery are now consid-
cred correct for the decoration of the
princess slip. The same design is
used on the bodice and the flounces
of the skirt, except that the bodice
trimming is usually made perfectly
fiat, so as not to interfere with the
lines of the outer bodice. The skirt
f1ounces, on the contrary, are always
more attractive when there is some
thing quite fluffy in their decoration.
Many of the white slips to be worn
with gowns Of pale colors pink, blue,
etc.-are trimmed with narrow valen-
ciennes and cluny and with delicate
little embroideries in color. Vertical
insertions Of valenciennes are set in
in a row across the lower part of the
bodice, and above this are little YER
tical embroideries of sweet peas in
delicate pink and green.
The skirt flares very much at the
bottom, and the lower part has two
founces set in, one above the other,
the upper one being cut out in deep
points around the bottom. Both of
these founces are trimmed with YER
tical insertions of valenciennes, those
on the lower founce being set on at
regular intervals. The insertions on
the upper founce are set on in groups
of three to trim each point. Above
this trimming there were the delicate
sweet pea vines, as on the bodice, all
put on to run up and down. This some
idea would be carried out in lavender,
sweet peas on gray or white silk
slip or in mignonette on green slip.
The embroidery, of course, carries out
the color suggestion Of the overdress.
It is not supposed to show through
the overdress, being merely one Of
those little touches of perfection
which distinguish the clothes of the
very daintily dressed woman.
Embroideries of the same color
white if the slip be white-are also
used to supplement the lace decora-
tion These also are kept very slight
and modest. The idea seems to be to
secure perfection of workmanship
rather than a mass of trimming.

So far as "order1y" is concerned,
Haiti compares favorably with Louis

the citizens are disfranchised by
tricky evasions of the Federal Con
stitution; in Louisiana the Federal

SATURDAY, MAY 9, 1908.
DOWN SOUTH LOGIC.

The New Orleans Picayune emits
this outburst of down south logic:
THE Haitian government is a dis
grace to civilization, demonstrating
clearly the inability of the black race
to conduct orderly administration of
affairs when left to itself. AS i'm
portant foreign interests are in
volved, and as this country is moral
ly bound for the proper behavior of
Haiti, our government at Washing
ton must either permit the European
powers to chastise Haiti and take
such steps as may be necessary to
establish an orderly government in
the island or take the initiative itself
to do away with the existing condi-
tion Of affairs and take hold of the
situation with a firm hand. The
black republic is an arrant humbug
and menace to civilization, hence
the sooner it is ended the better for
all concerned"
The Picayune fails to see that the
United States, under a fair applica-
ton Of the principle, should begin at
home and reform some other gov
ernments, which are a disgrace to
civilization; for instance, that of
Louisiana.
The United States should either

More About New Skirts,

While the gored skirt is well-liked,
the circular and circular gored sort
show every sign of increasing vogue.
Either style lends itself to the band
trimmings, as we'll as to the newer,
but no more attractive panel designs,
and there is every indication that
much liberty will be allowed in this
connection throughout the summer.
The tunic, thus far, is confined to for
NAL costumes, but is frequently sug-
gested- more or less vaguely-by the
method of garniture. This means that
a panel, or a series of panels, is some
times crossed, or at least supplement-
ed with band, either of braid or of
self-material, curved, and otherwise
shaped to outline tunic. And, again,
it means that plain skirt may have
the bands so arranged that the skirt
is, to all effects, in two parts.

WHITE SERGE POPULAR FABRIC.
In Soft ivory Whites They Are to Be
Much Worn. #


The prophecy seems to have come
true that white serge will be more
popular than white linen this summer.
It is woven in an excellent way,
quite thin and soft, and the price is
reasonable. It is not hard to get the
cream shades, but it is difficult to get
dead white; therefore. the majority
of good suits are in the soft ivory
white. OF course, stripes are in the
serges as well as in every other fab
ric, but plain suit of cream serge is
more stylish than a plain suit Of any
other color.
The black and white stripe is very
smart. but the stripes should be al
most gray and quite narrow. Black
velvet collar and cuffs seem obvious,
but really they are not in first style.
Bright green velvet or silk, sapphire
blue and leaf brown are used instead
o9 the black. 35 ..s
The turnover cuff has given place
to the sleeve that flares over the hand

FAD OF PARTISAN BEAUTIES.
Ribbon NeckIet, Appropriately Tied,
Is the Latest in Gay City.

A narrow ribbon necklet tied around
the collar and looped simply in front,
where it is finished with two long tas-
sells, is now almost universally worn
abroad, and it is rmast becoming when
narrow velvet ribbon is chosen. In
that case, of course, the tassels are
either Of silver or gold. It is appro-
pirate worn with almost any costume
except the strictly tailor-made shirts
with stiff collars, for it may be worn
with any guimpe dress or yoke blouse,
even if made of inexpensive material.
OF course, it precludes the possi-
bility of wearing jeweled necklace
of any sort, for milady would look
laden down with any additional orna-
mentation, but necklaces have been
worn SO long that it would be relief
to lay them away in the jewel case
for space, so that when they are
resurrected they may seem new.

= Prof. Hart of Harvard saws: !:

Prof. Hart of Harvard says:
"The two enemies of the white
woman in the south are the black
BRUTE whom the southern press is
never tired of describing, and the
southern buzzard journalist, who
spreads her name and her dreadful
story abroad to become the seed of
another like crime"
The erudite professor should have
added to his enumeration another
and most potent enemy-the white
brute recognized as gentleman, who
devotes more Of his time and money
to his dark-skinned concubine than
to his white wife, whose name is
legion. Perhaps he has forgotten
the case which occurred in New
Orleans not long since, in which a
dark-skinned Assistant wife" make a
city official a defaulter and fugitive
