went forth the cry that the fort had
fallen. 1t was taken up and carried
throughout the city. A sort OF panic pos
sessed many of the people. The thing
and now that it had come to pass they
were at a loss what to do. Some made
hasty preparations to leave the city.
Others ran about aimlessly. To those
who were alarmed the fact that the
thunder of the guns continued increased
their fright at first, but then perplexed
them. Why was the cannonading kept
up il the fort had surrendered? We're
the British SO merciless as to continue
the slaughter? Then there came the sug-
surrendered: maybe the fight still was on.
While they were in doubt there came
first from one steeple and then another
a cheer that told its own story, a cheer
that brought joy to the hearts OF many
who had been deep in despair. The flag
of independence was floating once more
above the fort
It was not until late that night, for the
battle lasted until nearly 8 o'clock, that
they heard the story Of how the Flagstaff.
which had been the mast OF schooner,
had been struck by a cannon ball and
riven. The flag itself had fallen outside
the fort. Working at one Of the guns
along with Marion and his men was
Sergt. Jasper. He had been one of the
first to volunteer when there was a call
to arms. He was only twenty-six.
As the flag fell he looked dismayed. He
had been one Of those to raise it that
morning. Then the look Of dismay faded
and one of resolution took its place. The
fire of the British was incessant. A hail
Of shot was passing over or striking the
fort. That mattered little to Jasper. He
1eaped on the parapet and walked nearly
it's whole length before he reached the
spot where the flag had fallen. Picking
up the standard he fastened 1t to
sponge staff and then set the staff firmly
upon a bastion. The flag waving once
more, he jumped within the fort. That
was all.
Walking into the jaws Of death to save
the flag was not the whole service Jas
per rendered. Above all other things his
service was in typifying at that moment

of these boasts, only smile.
What the quarrel had for its origin
none outside the divided house knows,
but the fact Of the odd condition was
disclosed in the Flushing Police Court
yesterday, when Mrs. Kates, fianked
by three children, had her husband
arraigned on a charge Of non-support.
Father and his two champions ap-
peared.
Kates admitted to owing property
worth $4,000; but, on the other hand,
he asserted that his wife had $4,000
in her own right, and that he had
paid her fully $4,000 in the last year.
He said they formerly owned property
together. but whenever he sold any
of il in the last year, she had de-
manded a fee of from 5000 to $4OO
for putting her signature to the deed
in addition to the proceeds that came
TO her as her share of the sale.
Nevertheless, Magistrate Ritch or
dered Hates TO pay his wife $40 a
week. He also made some suggestion
as to the advisability, on account OF
the children, of a reconciliation and
the topping down Of barriers in the
divided home. This suggestion was
received coldly on both sides.

.HOBBLE SKIRTS

New Dress Now Seems to be

NEW YORK. Oct Fifth avenue,
Broadway, Twenty-third street and
every other thoroughfare that lays
any sort Of claim to being a shopping

tackled by the hobble skirt in full
force, and succumbed. According TO
some OF those who make II unneces-
sary for their clubs to buy window
shades never has New York hobbled
as It did yesterday, and as night came
on this condition of things got worse.
A lot was heard about the hobble
skirt last spring, but surprisingly lit
tie was seen of il on women who are
considered the best dressed. To walk
in one requires a great deal OF prac-
tice, and to walk gracefully requires
instruction as well, and there were
thousands upon thousands of New
York women who refused to don this
successor of the sheath skirt. Now II
seems to be different.
Absorbed Attention.
OF course one saw yesterday thou
sands Of skirts that clung rather to
old lines than to the figure, but the
hobble skirt was 80 much In evidence
that It absorbed attention. Since
spring lots of American women have
been in Paris. which is the originator
of the hobble skirt, IN spite OF In

some have taken lessons in how &c

that there is a new addition TO the

FASHION AND FADS
BY Mrs. Maud E. cInsy.

Many Of the new coats for girls
show patent leather belt hung low.
This seems to be a fashion that holds
favor a long time.
Some very attractive dark toned
fall ginghams and zephys have been
brought out to meet the requirements
of winter indoor wear.
A great deal of braid is used for
trimming children's garments and
frequently braid of two or more colors
may be used with excellent effect.
Many pretty sleeves are seen on
new coats, somewhat larger than
heretofore, and they are frequently
finished with a deep, turnback cum.
Black mother-of-pearl beads in reg
ular all-over designs are dainty in ef-
feet and nets beaded with them are
at present much used in hounce ef-
fects.
Black is expected to be particularly
strong for evening wear made up over
plain or figured satins and taffetas,
chiffons and metallic effect fabrics.
Some of the new beaded nets are
in all-over patterns and very attrac-
tive. The gold beads in small de-
signs and sunburst effects seem to be
most popular.
In veilings a reaction In favor Of
smaller patterns has set in. The gro
tesque designs of the summer were
certainly striking but in a most un-
pleasant manner.
The new fashions continue to be
nodded on the narrow silhouette Of
the later summer models. From two
to two and a half yards is now con-
sidered the correct width at the hem.
The fine real Irish insertions are
much used on children's handsome
little frocks, with real cluny for sec
ond choice among the heavy laces
and with Valenciennes as popular as
ever.
The new models designed for the
average women have, in many in
stances, the plated skirt with the
plaits closely stitched from belt TO
knees and then released below a band
of the material.

warns the wearer not to make toe
long steps. Anyhow the hobble skirt
certainly may be described as popular
now.
Most of the garments Of that de-
scription seen yesterday bore evi-
dence of foreign manufacture or the
skill OF the most expensive local
dressmakers. There we're others that
were undeniably the product Of the
domestic sewing machine. for prac-
ticed eye could tell where the old
style ended and the new began. More
than one skirt that otherwise tailed
with last years fashions had a tight
band of new black or blue satin or
silk about the bottom, which showed a
man that if the wearer could not
bring herself to donning a pair Of
trousers she was quite equal TO put
ting on a trouser, If one-legged gar
ment may be so described.
The favorite design seemed TO have
dark band around the bottom Of a
skirt OF some lighter color, but the
hobble dress Of a single color was
much In evidence. Black was very
popular, but here is list Of mono
chrome hobbies seen during a walk
from Forty-second to Twenty-third
street:
Purple, light purple. violet, navy
blue, Alice blue and some other blues
not in the onlooker's vocabulary;
light gray. dark gray. brown, maroon,
tan, salmon. light green and dark
green. This does not include the
thin dresses of linen and so on that
had Enthusiastically been doing duty

One young woman in a light green
attracted much attention as she hob
bled up Fifth avenue past the Hol-
land House. Her skirt was cut tC
the figure and allowed her to make
steps not more than the length OF hei
shoes. Those wearers Of hobblC
skirts who tried to climb upon the TOT
OF the Fifth avenue stages usually
gave up the job after getting up hal
way and hanging. and sought safety
and oblivion inside.
She Had Her Troubles.

allowed her only to mince alonl

she attempted to board a southbounC
