THE HAREM SKIRT.

Brooklyn Bridge broke its record
as 3 scene Of daredevil exploits yes
terday. A suicide or professional
bridge jumper never thrilled the throng
OF bridge promenaders more than did
the appearance OF dashing young
blonde on the great thoroMghiare iate
Yesterday afternoon. She was attlred
in the new harem shirt--the first OF
the millions OF New York women
publicly to venture the new affectation
OF mems clothes which has stirred con-
tirental cities to riot. 1t nearly came
to that on the bridge yesterday. Pedcs-
trian traffic vas blocked by the crowds
which collected in her wake and
followed her bold lead right in.o news
paper row, Postoffice square and down
Broadway, finally vanishing into the
underground station of the Hudson
tubes.
The focus Of attention was on the
split skirt reaching little below the
knees, disclosing black bloomer-like
contrivauces tightly gathered UP about
the ankles.
Incidents of public disturbance ac-
compauying the appearance IL The
streets Of Paris OF women wearing tue
new trousers skirts occur daily. The
Avenue de L'Opera was the scene OF
one of the more serious male outbreaks.
The woman having been surrounded
by a laughing, jeering crowd, vas
unable to proceed, and man taking
advantage OF the situation, purchased
a basket Of eggs from dealer in
side street and distributed them among
the other men, who, in order to show
their disapproval of what they con-
sidered uniadylike conduct, pelted the
helpless wearer Of the new garment
until squad OF police intervened and
aided the woman to escape n auauto-
mobile.
Two women belonging to the most
exclusive society circle OF Madrid ap-
peared on the streets Thursday even
ing wearing the new Partisan trousers
skirts and we're fairly mobbed. The
crowd, which grew rapidly 10 great
proportions, surrounded the eSponents
Of advanced fashion and after insult
ing cries, threatened violence. \ large
force of police came to the protection
Of the women and cleared the streets.

ga Bachelors Honeymoon. !"

The great Hoyt theater success, "A
Bachelors Honeymoon" under the
management of ellison and Bradfeld,
which is to be at Royal hall on Jan. 10,
is one of those bright, airy, clean cut
comedies that leaves good taste and
makes you feel better for having seen
it. The play tells story of widow
err, Benjamin Bachelor, who falls in
love and marries young actress. Ben
iamin does not tell his lady love that
he has been married before and that he
is, the father of twin daughters, aged
about. II years, nor does he tell
maiden sister that he has again entered
tile life of a benedict, for the maiden
sister has a strong objection to &C
tresses, and expects to leave her broth
err generous. part of large fortune.
Mr.. Bachelor does not even inform his
daughters that they have a step-moth-
er. The truth is that he wants to keep
all of his family secrets to himself.
After the marriage he is at a loss
whereato go to spend the honeymoon
and finally decides that the best plac
to 90 will be to his own home, as the
twins and the sister are at summer
resort. To the servants at home Mr..
Bachelor explains quietly that his wife
is the new governess that he has en-
gagged for his daughters. The actions
of Mr.. Bachelor and the supposed gov
erness arouse the suspicious of one of
the servants and she sends word to the
sister and twins, who arrive on the
scene without sending word that they
are coming. To add to the trouble of
Mr.. Bachelor, an old sweetheart of his
wife appears on the scene and insists
on making love to her. A lawyer who
thinks he is in love with one of the
twins decides to transfer his affections
to Mrs. Bachelor, and Bachelor dares
not tell him that she is his wife. The
servant who sent the news of her sus-
picions to the maiden sister and the
twins gets an idea that she can straight
en- the whole thing out and only adds
to the trouble. The wife demands in
formation, so does the maiden sister
and the twins, and it is up to Mr..
Bachelor to furnish the desired infor-
nation and try to make good for the
many falsehoods which ne has told
since his marriage to the actress.
The production has been given an
elaborate setting and from all reports
will be one of the best offerings at
ROYAL hall this season.

Convention of Stays.

Within the imperial preserves where
the kaiser and his guests secured 500
deer in one day is the Schorfhaide
which each year toward the month Of
November becomes the meeting place
of thousands of stays. This annual
assemblage on the Schorfhaide has
taken place every autumn for cen
turtles past. Mention thereof has been
found in documents more than thou
sand years old. All sorts of theories
have been put forward to account for
it. Some natives say that the animals
meet to decide matters affecting the
leadership of their various clans. 1t
seems hard to account otherwise for
the attraction which brings stays and
their mates from Galicia, on the Rus
sian border; from the Liechtenstein
game preserves south of Vienna and
from the still larger estates in Hun
gary belonging to the Archduke Fred
erick. all the way TO the Schorfhaide.-

Tobacco Fire at GAINESVILLE.

The A. L. Fisher tobacco warehouse,
located about eight feet outside of the
city limits near the cemetery, was de-
stroyed by fire Monday night. The fire
was discovered at z o'clock, the fire de-
partment being appraised by telephone
of the conhagration. When the depart
ment arrived the building was Quilted
and there was hardly anything left to
save. The fire seemed to have been
burning some time before it's discovery.
The firemen were compelled to lay
out 24OO feet of hose to reach the
flames from the nearest plug Chief
Klein said that the fire appeared IN
Questionably to have been of incendiary
origin. 1t started in the center of the
structure and there were no stoves in
the vicinity.
The burned warehouse stood nearly
on the same spot occupied by build
ing owned by the Victor Mauufactur
ing company which was totally destroy
ed by fire about fifteen years ago.
The loss on building and contents will
probably reach $4,000.
In the neighborhood of 447 cases OF
tobacco were. consumed with the build
Jug. Of these some 200 had been sold
anu were W NC UGllV0ICu ILLS IIlOllCIl dt
the price of S54 to $55 per box. The
remainder were valued at an equal fig
ure which will make the total loss on
tobacco nearly $4,000. It was found
that between IS and 100 boxes were in
shape to be looked over, and although
damaged considerably by smoke and
water, some small amount may be
found of value. The tobacco was in
sured to the amount of $4,000 in vari-
Gus companies, which does not quite
cover the total value.
There was an insurance of $500 on
the building in addition to that carried
on the stock. The state fire marshal
was on the ground Tuesday with an in
tention of making an examination into
the cause of the fire.
In speaking of the cause of the fire,
Mr.. Fisher said he had no idea of how
it could have started. 1t had at first
seemed possible that it might have
caught from the chimney, but this was
in the southern end of the warehouse,
some distance from the middle where
the flames were first seen.
