Teams from st. Johns College and
the Catholic University engaged in
one Of the fastest basketball games
ever seen in Washington Saturday
night By being the aggressor and
by putting up clever exhibition
from stare to finish, the Catholics got
away with victory by a fair mar
gin. The score was "a to q.
While the ST. Johns five scored
first, its advantage was not long
lived. The Brooklanders soon evened
ur things later in the period and
afterward went along in the lead
Notwithstanding the creditable clay
of the st. Johns men at times, there
was hardly a moment when it was
questionable as to which five would
be the winner.
The Catholic University players
worked well together, were in good
condition and played so consistently
as whole and individually that their
superiority was apparent. Both
teams started off with a rush. The
pace set during the first few minutes
of play was very fast, but the st.
Johns men could not hold it. They
worked hard and cleverly in lots OF
instances, but they seemed unable te
fathom the attack of the University

The team of Baltimore City Col

not at all like the old shiny silk, but a
supple lustreIess fabric that looks espe-
cially pretty when ruffled.
Fashion never repeats itself exactly
and the new flounces are applied on a
scant foundation that gives them a very
different look than when they adorned the
distended skirts of the fifties and seven

of this new fashion and probably win be

TLoUNCES are again in fashion.
More than year ago, at the same
time that the rannier and drspery
we're introduced into dresses, an ef-
.ort TO make flounces fashionable did
not succeed. Since Paris took kind
' to them this spring they have at last
established themselves firmly in autumn
fashions. The simplest dress takes on
an air of daintiness when ruffles are a
part of it, and as for evening gowns,
tlounces seem to be made for dancing
steps and lacy elegance.
The new flounces of 1884 are not al

Drunken Monkeys.

According to recent letter from
the Congo region on the west coast
of Africa the monkeys there are in
ordinately fond of kind of beer
made by the native, who use the bev-
erage to capture their poor relations.
Having placed quantities of beer
where the monkeys can get at it, the
natives wait until their victime are
in various degrees of inebriation, and
when they mingle with them the poor
creatures are too much fuddled to
recognize the difference between ne
gro and ape. When negro takes
the hand of one of them to lead him
off, some other fond creature clings
to the hand of the latter one, and an
other to his hand; thus a single negro
may sometimes be seen carrying off a
string of staggering monkeys. When
secured the beer is administered in
decreasing quantities, so that they
may only gradually awaken to the
sad results of their spree.-Tid-Bits.

TO STAND TRIAL FOR MURDER.
Two Negroes Nabbed Near Spartan
burg by West Virginia Deputy.

Spartanburg, Oct. 19.-Charged
with the murder Of special officer
employed by coal mining company
in Niinso county, W. Va, John Hen
derson and Henry Hall, negroes. were
arrested as fugitives from justice on
Carolina, Clinchfeld and Ohio Rail
way train at Chesnee Friday night.
The arrest was made by w. 0. Power,
q West Virginia deputy sheriff-an
old man OF patriarchal aspect, with a
white beard reaching almost to his
waist. Power started back to Mingo
county with the negroes Saturday.
Nothing was said of eXtradition.
Power had been on Henderson, S
trail for a week. He traced him
from Mingo county to St. Paul, Va,
at the northern end of the Clinchtield
Road, and reached the conclusion
that the negro had headed for his
home, at Greenville, S. c. The dep
uty sheriff started down the Clinch-
field Road, making inquiries of train
men and others. During the trip he
ran across Henry Hall, whom he knew
to be a pal of Henderson, but OF
whose alleged connection with the
killing he had no suspicion when
he started out. Following Hall, the
deputy sheriff saw him join Hender-
son. Both boarded a south-bound
train. Power boarded the same train,
and when it reached Chesnee placed
the negroes under arrest. The
charge against Hall is based on the
assistance he is alleged to have given
Henderson in the latter's attempt to
escape. Hall is accused of being an
accessory to the murder after the
fact.

MEAT CHOKES CHILD TO DEATH.
Morsel, Lodged in Throat at Break
fast, Causes Death at Night.

Gaffney. Oct. 20.-Emma Hughes,
the four-year-old daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. John Hughes. choked to death
Sunday night, about 8 O'Clock, pre-
sumably on a piece Of meat. The little
.irl had been sick throughout the day
but it was not known what the trou'
bic was. When the family retired
she was given a dose of castor oil
but at 9 o'clock the family was
awakened by her cries and it was
found that she was rapidly choking
to death. A physician was summon
ed and the meat extracted, but not
before life was extinct. Members OF
the family say that the child had had
no meat since breakfast, and 1t is
therefore presumed that the lodg
ment had been in her throat since
morning. The physician who remov'
ed the meat stated that there was nc
evidence Of digestion having set in
proving conclusively that the sub
stance could not have been in the
child's stomach throughout the day.
