The New York Sun tells of Big Jim Connolly, tug gas house laborer, who was arrested for throwing his wife from the fire escape of the flat where they lived at 645 West Forty-second street, to the yard, two stories below. Oonnelly happened to be brought be- fore the court yesterday morning be- cause his wife Anna, who is only 17 years old, was discharged on Satur- day from Bellevue Hospital, where she had been since the assault was made. .When Connelly was brought into court, his wife was asked to take the witness stand against him. This she refused to do. Nothing that the Mag- istrate could say would induce her to testify against her husband. Finally, after coaxing and pleading, Magis- trate Flammer said: “.Young woman, if you do not tell us, under oath, the facts in this case, I’ll commit you to prison for con- tempt of court.” ' “I don’t care for your commitment,” said Mrs. Connolly. “Send me to prison if you like; you’ll get nothing from me." “Make out the papers and commit her," ordered the Magistrate. With a vision of a term of impris- onment before her, Mrs. Connolly con cluded to go on the stand. She said that her husband had not thrown her from the fire escape, or even thought of it. Policeman Manning of the West Forty-seventh street station, who ar- rested Connolly, said that while no one actually saw the prisoner throw his wife down the fire escape, he could produce two women tenants of the house who heard Mrs. Connolly cry, as she clung to the escape before her husband pushed her off: “He’s done it! He’s done it!" The Magis- trate directed the policeman to pro- duce the Witnesses. Then-there was a scene. Mrs. Con- nolly, finding that her husband could not go free, fell upon his neck and sobbed as if her heart would break. “Oh, Judge! Let him go! Let him go,” she cried between sobs. He didn’t do it! He didn’t do it! He wouldn’t do it! He wouldn’a do it. “Oh, Judge, let him go, or let me stay with him! I wont leave him. He was always a good boy. He gave me all the money he earned at the gas house, and I put it in the bank in my name, and he never said a word.” The husband and wife had to be separated by’ court officers. When Connolly was led away to his cell his wife fairly screamed: , ‘ “Let him go, I tell you. don’t let him go, I’ll go out and kill myself. Let him go! or my curse be upon you! May you never live to see the light of another day in this court! You're a fine Judge! You judge noth- ing. Let him go, I tell you! Oh, dear Judge, let him go!” A Consider-ate Woman. “Excuse me, .sir,” she said, as she took her place at the head of the pro- cession—a place which strong and brave men could have reached only by wading through goreL—“I would like to ask you a question.” “Certainly.” “Are times really hard?" “There isn‘t any use of trying to conceal it. In a good many branches of industry the depression is very se~ rious.” "I’m ever so mu h obliged to you,” she responded, nd turned to go away. “If you were worrying about any particular investment, I might be able to give you some advice.” “No. It wasn’t anything especial. I just wanted to satisfy myself that times are hard. I don’t really wish to annoy my husband with my ex- penses, and I thought the best thing _ to do was to:come and find out for certain whether times are hard or whether it is merely the same story that he has been telling me every year when the styles come in.”—Washing- ton Star. Turned the Tables. 'An IriSh witness was being exam- ined as to his knowledge of a shoot- ing affair. “Did you see the shot Magistrate asked. “No, sorr, I only heard it,” was the evasive reply. . “That evidence is not satisfactory,” replied the 'Magistrate, sternly— “stand down.” .The witness proceeded to leave the box, and directly his back was turned he laughed derisively. The Magistrate, indignant at this contempt of court, called him back, and asked him how he dared to laugh in court. -‘4Did~ye see me laugh, Your Honor?” queried the offender. “No, sir, but I heard you,” was the irate reply. fired ?” the "That evidence is not satisfactory,” said Pat, quietly, and with a twinkle in his eye.

Sun.) “Linen are anxious to know what to purchase for the future and how they shall‘ ~ave their wardrobe made. Although the new styles are very ele- gant, there seems to be a tendency to ward simplicity of material. 'As for color, no one need despair of her favor. ite color not being tsed, for every hue will show itself this season. In Paris women are wearing red, 3. deep pink- ish‘ crimson, in which lingers a sus picion of geranium and cerise. Many of the cigar tints 'have' acquired new beauty this fall, and will be very mucl' .- I Fashions for in evidence, and all brown-s, grays and fawns will be more used than any other shade for street wear for the early gowns, outside of the beautiful mixtures that are shown in the twecds. The new woollens have the boucle effect introduced into almost all the new fashions. Plain colors are covered with geometrical designs formed by the black curling threads, and the principal mixtures are black blended either with red, lavender, brown, green, royal blue, and petunia. Often two of these are combined' with no intermixture of black. Some- times the boucle effect is thrown on in . misty checks or shaded stripes, and in most of these there is a suggestion of tartan, and all of them are well cov- ered with the black curl. This boucle effect is also thrown over the tweeds and on the mixed coatings. There are also in the fall cloths many with large checks, but most of them are softened by the boucle effect. Some .have a brocaded effect in two colors as well as the curled threads. The old knicker- bocker style, in which the threads in, the stripes become every now and then rough and coarse, is once more seen in the speckled tweed. Besides the pure woollen goods, there are a great many mixtures of silk and wool. Another novelty is the thick basket work cloth in black and :olors. Bright colored metallic ellfects, like beads or pin points, are seen on many ”of. the black checks and the shine zibelines with flower effects; but notwithstanding all this, a great many of the best dresses will be made in un- figured material."
