NOT TO BLAME FOR
 SLAUGHTERING HOGS
Court Finds Ordinance Pro- hibiting Killing Within City Limits Defective.

Julius F'leischer, who conducts a meat market on Cherry street in the West End, was charged in the City court to-day with violating the city ordinance which forbids the killing of pigs within the city limits. Attorney Cohn appeared for F1eischer and in troduced evidence showing that the city slaughter house was not as well equipped as it should be. Fleischer took the law into his own hands and prepared his swine for the market on the banks of Burr Creek.
 Judge Foster thought the ordinance defective and could not see that Fleischer was much to blame since conditions were such that men were forced to do their slaughtering at places other than the proper place. The case was nolled upon payment of costs.

 There is a rage now for cream white suits worn with hat and accessories of nut brown Gray suede boots with pearl but tons are attractively worn with gray walking suits. White ties with dark gowns are seen in some costumes, but the idea is in poor style. Men wear brown ties. brown and white shirts brown hose and brown bordered handkerchiefs.

 The Russian Cossack and the mill itary effects hid fair to have a strong vogue in millinery Hats persist in their biggest shapes, and most of the new models turn ra- kishly at one side. The poloneise is a growing fashion, and it is promised that a good many ! will be seen this fall. The foulard vogue is at it's height, l and in it's class this graceful fabric l is absolutely unrivalled. subtle suggestion of color is con sidered more fashionable than the more definite and vivid hues. White cream and ecru net blouses are not difficult to dye, and it may be successfully done at home.

Arnold's argument was that the

an engineer, gets the best run pc
cause he becomes the senior Of white
firemen who cannot pass him because
he is non-promotable; that to be
good engineer a fireman must kno~
the runs and he cannot know them
unless he gets chance to fire on
them.
