 There was a brief session of the Third district court, Judge Oliver H. Williams presiding, Friday morning. The several civil cases on the docket were continued for one week. Com plaint was filed in the case of Thomas E. Brown, chief of police, against Pas quale Salameuo, charged with carry ing a concealed weapon. Salameno was convicted on a charge of assault with attempt to kill by shooting, Charles Brown. at the recent session of the superior court at Kingston and took an appeal to the supreme court. This new action is an outgrowth of that case, it being proven beyond doubt that Salameno had a. revolver in his possession at that time.

Rather Effemlnate.

Congressman Peter ]. Dooling OF
New York smiled the other evening
when reference at a dinner was made
to effeminate ways. He said he was
reminded Of the explanation Of Smith.
Some time ago the Smiths attended
a reception where they met a man
named Brown. On the way home,
while exchanging opinions Of the
guests, Brown was mentioned.
Speaking of that man Brown" Wig
orously remarked Smith. he certainly
has an effeminate way Of talking"
why, john" was the wondering re-
joinder of Mrs. Smith, How can you
say that? He certainly has a very loud
and masculine voice!"
Yes. know he has," explained
Smith. but what / mean is that he

Very Effective,

At an English provincial theater not
long since the curtain rose on an
empty stage in the second act Of a
play, and by and by a meek-looking
young man with dust.coat slung over
his arm came on and loudly called,
"Uncle-uncle!"
According to the book of the play
he should have received no answer to
his call, and after an appropriate pause
should have gone on with mono

gallery took upon himself to answer
the actor.
"All right, I'm coming in a moment.
How much do you want on it," he
shouted.

REVELATION WAS TOO MUCH
Picture Of "Hollerlnu Jones" at Fa-
Vorlte Diversion Caused Him
TO Reform.

A well-known illustrator, who makes
interesting western pictures. once
made the acquaintance Of a noisy but
good-humored cowboy who rejoiced In
the appellation Of "Hollering Jones"
In physical appearance this man was
typical Of his kind, and the artist made
several studies of him, both in re-
pose and In his favorite diversion OF
''hollering." Some of the studies were
sold by the artist to an eastern maya
zine. They showed Jones In his most
violent state.
A year later the artist again visited
the region. He was soon approached
by Mr.. Jones himself, bearing one Of
the pictures, which he had torn from
the magazine in which It was printed.
Pointing to It, he asked:
rs that mel"
"Well," replied the artist, evasively,
II got the general idea from you. Of
course, but"
"oh, / amt takin' no offense," Jones
made haste to say. tits all right; only

the artist, Il can only reply that 1t is

Il think you do"
in that case," said Hollering Jones,
AL I've got to say is that Hollering
Jones has hollered his last boiler.
Hereafter, when ! celebrates, does

ion, no man has a right to look like
that-not round white folks. anyhow"

Short sleeves are not often seen. The
longer the sleeves are the smarter

the knuckles.
Sashes are more prominent than
ever, and are swathed around the hips
and knotted very low down, and often

These bibs are just as much fun for
baby as picture book, II they are
made properly.
Bibs are excellent and perfectly
proper things for young children; but
do not make the mistake Of forcing
child to wear a bib when 1t is old
enough to learn the use Of a napkin.
For a time the napkin may be fast
ened about the neck of the child, but
as soon as possible he should be
taught that cultured people never fas-
ten their napkins to their collars or
dresses, but allow them to lie across
the knees.
Teach the children, too, never to
crumple their napkins. A napkin, aft
er being used, should be almost as i'm
maculate as before 1t is unfolded, with
the exception that the folds are loose
while and after using. 1t is never too
young to learn table manners.

II the party were held under the pro-
tecting shades OF evening.
For the Japanese lawn party the
piazza generally provides basis for
the decorative scheme. Japanese mat

flags. in paper. ornaments the ceiling.
For the rest the whole porch may

suspended on silken threads from the
trees or poised lightly by means OF
fine wire on the floral sprays. These
winged creatures give a very pretty
effect as they sway to and fro In the

Then, TO add brilliancy to the scene,
Japanese lanterns, large and small,
must be hung wherever there is a
space. The newest OF these
to American eyes are the grotesque
fish lanterns, made to represent the
Japanese fish god. The lanterns, of
course, are lighted only in the eve

1t is a pretty custom to present each
guest on arriving with Japanese fan
or at an afternoon party with both
fan and umbrella. Also there are num-
berless curios costing anywhere from
Eve to fifty, cents apiece. which may
be given away as souvenirs or as
prizes If games are played. Dwarf
Japanese plants, growing in little jar
Of glazed ware, are also very
desirable for either purpose.
Refreshments should be served from
Japanese trays, with Japanese paper
doilies and napkins. The correct
viands are waters and sweetmeats Of
various kinds, with Japan tea, either
hot or iced, and sake. a Japanese drink
made from rice.
