two men were arrested on charge of drunkenness.
 George Fenton, a spectator, took exception to the actions of Officer Sharpe in arresting the two men, and advised him not to, saying that they were not treating the animal cruelty. The officer continued, however, and few minutes later Fenton rushed into the police station to register a com plaint. Then 1t was that he was in- formed that the men were arrested for drunkenness and not for cruelty. Both pleaded guilty in court this morning and Judge James T. Meskill imposed a fine of $5 and costs on each.
 More Domestic Troubles.
 Felix Witkofski, who has lately re- turned from Cleveland, whence he skipped several months ago, was ar rested by Officer Fred Wagner early last evening charged with assaulting his wife and failing to properly pro- vide for her support. She testified that he gives her but $2 a week to keep house on, and spends all his money on a neighbbr, Mrs. Touchko. She also produced a bundle of let ters which, she explained, her hus- band has been receiving from other girls since she married him fourteen months ago. When Mrs. Witkofski saw that her husband was not going to give her any money yesterday she went through the drawers in the bureau in his room and extracted $6 After a wrangle with his wife last evening. Felix slapped her viciously across the face with towel.
 Judge Meskil fined the husband $10 and costs for the assault and or dered him to furnish a bond of S250 and to pay his wife $4 week for a year If he neglects to do this he will go to jail for sixty days.
 Wouldn't Pay For Meal.
 Calmly telling the restaurant pro- prietor that he was going to jail and would not pay for the meal of steak and coffee he had just de- voured. Stanley Rastulba walked out of Peter Lukas' lunch room at the railroad crossing and refused to pay the thirty cents that was demanded. Officer Atwater made the arrest and Judge Meskill imposed fine of $3 and costs.

Hartford, March 2.-The settlement of the contest for county commits sioner in the New Haven county re- publican caucus today, by the choice of Frederick l.. Gaylord, of Ansonia, was received with expressions of sat isfaction by members of the general assembly. In the senate a resolution was adopted electing Mr. Gaylord for the short term to succeed James F. Cloonan of Meriden, who was a recess appointed
 The session in both branches today was uninteresting, as aside from com mittee reports there was very little business to be done. The house con- cured with the senate in rejecting the resolution which was to memo rialize the state delegation in congress to favor the Hamill bill which would provide pensions for civil service em- ploVes of the federal government and in confirming the governors appoint ment of Charles C.

FLAGMAN KNOCKED
 DOWN BY HORSE
Humorous Situation at Elm Street Crossing When Safety First
 Man Gets Hit.

Motto, safety first. was turned into q humorous situation at 5:30 o'clock yesterday afternoon when the gate tender employed by the Landers, Trary & Clark Manufacturing com pany to protect it's spur track cross ing was knocked down by horse and wagon.
 The faglnan was standing in the street idly waving his flag, dreaming of the hot supper he was to sit down to in about a half hour, when, sin gle wagon hove in sight. The driver was on the right side of the road and thought the signal man would step to one side, but he slept peace fully on until the horse bumped into him. With a frantic shout the frightened man clasped the animal about the neck and hung on for dear life. He was finally shaken off by the horse and dropped in an undignified heap in the gutter.
 The factory has a spur track at the Junction of Elm and Commercial streets which is protected by iair of gates and a flag man. Mayor Quig- ley has been approached on the matter of providing traffic officer to watch the Elm street crossing and this cor ner during the busy hours but he has referred the matter to the safety board.

Washington, March 2.--The United States will send note to Great Brit ain and France, in answer to the one received yesterday, inquiring what means will be taken in carrying out the policy of holding up supplies being carried to and from Germany. President Wilson told callers today that the British h-French note outlined in very general terms a policy but did not define the means of carrying it into effect.

 The president said it was not clear in his own mind whether the new action of the British and French gov ernments esta ablished' a blockade of Germany, although that would be the general effect of the order He in dicated that even though q real block ade were established, no questions af fecting the neutrality of the United States would be precipitated by the continued voyages of American ships to Germany.

 Governor Holcomb sent to the sen. ate a report by Highway Commis- sioner Charles F. Bennett on the proposition that the state should take over the present Thames River bridge of the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad company.

Can you paint picters, too?" he
inquired.
"You mean portraits?" asked Ar

That's it. Iwant one done. When

This Arden did. He found his pro-
spective client in a duly hilarious

his elbow. Broncho Jim passed him

'T think 1 do" assented Arden, and
set out on his queer mission.
Ziatina was popular name at the
little settlement just then, She was
half-breed, graceful as a gazelle,
with great black eyes and willowy
form. She was the star of the show,

and miners, but she was as stone, as
ice to fulsome praise, and in her for
bidding eyes there was ever a far
away glow, as though her thoughts
were with some dusky lover she could

Arden sketched Ziatina, unnoticed,
in one of her most graceful poses.
He made studio for two days of his

from the proprietor of the principal
gaming place of the settlement.
Gone, where? Where?" question:
ed the disappointed Arden.
Last night-cleaned out, and
made for the mines to get a new
stake"
Arden took the portrait back to his
room, and showed it in his kit, and
forgot all about it.
He had money enough as it was to
buy a horse, but he made the mistake
of starting off on the trail alone and
unguided. He blundered in following
it, got lost in a desolate wilderness.
For six days he had no sight of habi-
tation or human being. The morn
ing of the seventh he was awakened
from a sound sleep on a bed of green
in ravine to the accompaniment Of
savage yells.
Half-a-dozen dusky warriors sur
rounded him. Their f1erceness was
emphasized by the way in which they
brandished knives, rifles and toma-
hawks at him. His horse had been
appropriated by one savage, another
was ransacking his travelling kit.
His despoiler passed around to his
comrades article after article. Final
ly he came to the rolled-up portrait.
1t came loose in his hand, and he
stared agape at the picture of the
halfbreed circus star.
Arden had noticed stalwart young
brave who seemed to be the leader Of
the party. He had certain princely
and dignified mien and took no part
in the pilfering going on. Just at
this juncture, however, as two of the
savages, in turn, with hooking laugh

 The lion is claimed to run faster than the swiftest hunting horse, which is from eighty to one hundred feet second according to the country through which it is compelled to travel.
 Tests differ greatly as to the speed of 3 hare. Some claim it can travel at the rate of sixty feet second, while others claim 1t cannot travel more than half that distance.
 The great variety of deer are all qulte speedy, but in certain localities they can travel much more rapidly than in others. A roebuck

 The giraffe is said to pass over the ground at the rate of about fifty feet second, while the kangaroo covers ten to fourteen feet second.
 The tortoise is much slower. One five inches in length covers but about half inch in second.
 It cannot be expected that any animal can equal the speed attained by the birds. Some of the winged creatures are very rapid

By LADY DUFF-GORDON

C ONE while ago I promised I
 should have more to say about
 the Birdcage dresses and pan alettes. have here collection of ictures that will show you more Fly what meant.
 In the designing of dresses, as Tn everything else. effect is gained by col trast. Therefore the new small lont waists have brought in the full shol skirts tor perhaps it's the other way round), while the dancing craze dema nds that the lines of the figure must still be shown. Therefore, I make the full skirts transparent to please Dame Fashion and the inside lining tight to delight the dancers, and really charming it is, too.
 A little Spanish lady illustrates this to the last letter; look at her small waist. This, of course. means new corsets, so please don't get these new gowns on the old straight corset, for the results would be disastrous. Her bodice is of brocade in ivory satin with design of camelias in scarlet and green. Her sash is of black and green, and her "birdcage" is of black silk net strapped with bands of gray satin. It is over a tight dress of silver tissue, which is again over black and white panta- lettes. Her headdress is of black lace and red and green flower tucked in at the back.
 Another birdcage is the little lady in the silver wig. Her gown is of blue tulle and blue and silver bro- caded taffeta and a lowered bodice. The skirt is made over hoops to sup port the weight of the taffeta. These hoops are of silver, as also are her stockings and shoes.
 Speaking of stockings, have you seen the silver stockings? They are exquisite. My history book tells of the extravaganza of Queen Eliza beth: mentions pair of silver thread hose brought from Venice. should imagine them very thick and uncomfortable. but the new ones Of today are half silk (gray) and half silver. and, worn with silver shoes and wig, have the most fairylike effect.
 I always dislike patterns in stock ings, and to find a new thing like this is really a joy. Stockings to my mind should be plain ana or ugnC colors or else black. in which case they should be the finest possible and transparent without any design.
 I have seen white stockings with black lace butterflies. Shun them. And the latest horror was pair of gray stockings with design in scarlet up the front like the lacing of a boot. finishing with a bow at the top. Not to be thought of, but one wonders who buys this sort of things.
 Way down history full skirts have always been accompanied by trou- gers. The Tudors wore them in bro- cade and the Veterans in embroid- cry. Tn both cases the skirts stood out SO far it was unbecoming to see so much leg while a tight petticoat did not give enough freedom. The return to the full skirt means the return of the "pantalettes-a pretty name and far removed from the ugly "harem" skirt or trousers of three years ago.
 The pantalettes are long and tube- like from the knee down, and are of nhiffon lace and ribboned and possi-

skirt and being so modelled to the figure as to have somewhat startling effect at little distance.
 A great barbarically beautiful orna- ment of dull gold and brilliant mala- chite green is fastened on the left hip, fringes of the beads and bugles and jewels hanging far down on the skirt, and a similar ornament-in miniature-providing a decorative apology for sleeve on the right shoulder, though at the other side the bodice has no visible means of sup port" narrow fold of flesh pink tulle (possibly, and cleverly conceal ing an elastic threading), being only notic cable or even discoyerable at close quarters.
 You may always, indeed, take 1t for granted that each dress is provided with a fesh-colored foundation whose chief aim and object it is to make it's presence as unobtrusive as possible. And. remembering this. you can try to realize the effect of sleeveless corsage of silver gauge crossed by wide scarves of sapphire blue panne, which are eventually caught together on one hip by clus- ter of damask roses. The full skirt beneath is of delicate pink chif- ion and net in the deeper blue of a tropical sky at night, at first just brOidered with a light tracery of dull gold, which soon, however, grows bright and bold and beautiful, too, tinsel ribbon of gold and silver be- ing interwoven with the metallic threads. And finally, shimmering out through the blue with a moon like radiance, a fold of silver tissue is deftly introduced between a dou- ble fold of the blue tulle at the skirt hem.
