Offern-.an, who Is a property owner on i, street, sought to have, enjoined the pavln of that street, trie contract for which was let to the National company , at the- tin when Murphy had a a t'.d In $397 less. Judge RedlcK based his declelon on the fact that the law provides.. the contract shall, go to the lowest responsible bidder, that a comlttee of the council voted that the Purlng-ton brick Which 'the Nsttonsl "com pany proposed to ..furnish badrbeen Used satisfactorily In several streets and that the Cofteyvllle-brick had i never been " so used. This established, said the Judge tn effect, the legsllty of tTle letting f , ,uie contract to' a higher bidder than Murphy.1 Although by the "rattler test" the Coffey vllle brick showed better slightly 'than' the. Purlngton,. yet' both came within the prr scribed limit of efficiency and. durability. ', Murphy, through his counsel, W. J. Coa nell. announced that the flgkt will be car ried to a finish. The National Construction company csn now proceed ; to pave the street, the restraining order having beon vacated by Judge Redlck, but suit will be Instituted to stop psyment for tho work. The tight between Murphy and the Na tional company, which. Includes severst for mer city officials, is a bitter one snd the resources of .the law will tie exhausted be fore it Is ended.

"I needed the boy at home to help me at the work. Tes, my husband works) he gets SK a month, but Its little of It he gives ma or the children. The rest of the children try to pick up little Jobs to help us out. But they csnt do much. They've all got to be fed. And If I can keep Harry at home to help I can pick up a little work at washing. Harry is a dear, good boy; he never spoke an unkind word to me and tries his best to help me. I would like for him to go to school and be would like to go. But you hee how It Is, Judge." 'Tes, I see how it Is," ssid Judge JDs- telle. "Tou snd Harry are not the ones wanted In this court. Go home. We will have Mr. Murphy to deal with next Satur day morning. He rs the one that needs the discipline." ' Another women, a widow from the flats down below the Union depot was asked why she did not send her lt-year-old boy to school. I hsve ten children, your honor, snd I need this boy to help me rsise the money to feed the rent," said she. "Plesss let me keep him out of school a little while longer, I need him so bad." The court was of the opinion that the boy should go to school until June, when he would be 14. Judge Retells advised the mother of the ten children to have one or two of the older children help out In the work and give the boy a chance to get a little schooling.

ADAPTED FOR OUTDOOR OCCASIONS Made In Anatrla" of Anton Wool- Seasonable Remarks on Over eoats, hlrta, Collars and Sasavndera. Time was, snd not so very long ago either, when the swester, as such, was more or less a garment of opprobrium, at least as far as those occasions were con cerned on which the man-about-town wished to appear at all well dressed. It was distinctly a utilitarian affair, for warmth only, designed to be worn In the open, when Indulging In some one or other of the athletic sports. Even when called rnto use on a summer's dsy. It. wss donned but rarely, except on the golf links, the athletlo field, the beach or some similar -.,,11. iwco. V, (,..'V LOnillQ cold" was' the principal thought In the mind of the wearer. I'ntll very recently the swester (than which there was never anything Invented that wss more 'grateful.'" to use a British expression), could never have been conaldred a "dressy" garment. even by tho widest stretch of the Imagina tion. In Its original form, with Its high, close-fitting, bulky collar. It was frankly s sweater and nothing more, and was quite as ugly ss Its nsme. f It was not very long, however, before a decided evolution, not to say revolution, In sweaters began to take place and the close fitting neck gave way to a kind of sailor collar, the garment itself being fashioned with a V-neck, which laced up In front. It was, however, a sweater for all that and, In spite of the fact that models of this kind oould be worn under the coat and yet not Interfere with the display of the collar and necktie, they proved a short-lived faah lon. The sailor collar effect was bulky and Inconvenient and was soon dispensed with, giving plsce to the fsmlllar V-neck sweater that has been popular for so msny seasons. Change for the Better. Indeed, the V-neck sweaters were by ths way of being the turning point In the fash ionable adventures of this now slmost uni versal garment. For the first time In the history of Its manufacture the sweater coat had become a thoroughly nest snd practical article of dress, ono which could be worn'' either In place of or over the waistcoat (when additional warmth was required) and under the cost. I'nless the latter was unbuttoned, the casual observer was none the wiser. From this time the very general use of the swester "In polite society" moy be ssid to hsve had Its begin ning. Admirably adapted fch outdoor oc casions, whether urbsn or suburban, par ticulsrly on those dsys In which there waa frost In the air, but on which the younger element In society was loath to put on an overcoat, the V-neck sweater was manufac tured In nest shades cf dark grsy, some times black trimmed snd also In white, as well ss In the usual swester colors, all of which Were very popular, but especially the grays. The necessity of slipping these swesters over the head, combined with the fact that, having no opening in front, they proved uncomfortably warm If one was dntslned indoors on sny occaslru. mitigated against thlr .ir,ivori oontilBrltv. however, and tha modern coat swester wss quickly evolved. Originally this was little more than a Y-neck sweater, opening In front and dealgnod to be buttoned up when, worn 1n the open. It was a variation of the old cardigan Jacket of blessed memory and came In all the usual swester shades. In cluding brown, which, by the wsy, Is espe cially favored at the present time. Tncse swester coats, some of which sre now msde without sleevrj, in perfect walstoost form, ore possessed by almost every one these days and sre worn on all day occasions. Boms of the wslstcoats sre particularly elaborate In design, white with color de signs and the like. The newest expression of swester coats are made of the finest Angora wool and are manufactured In Austria by a secret .process which up the present time has proved an unsolvable problem to an con cerns not "in the know." They are msde both with snd without collars. Some of ths waist-coats haye the silk aleeves with which tha golf enthusiasts havs made us familiar. They come In both gray and brown effects, soms plain and others contrast trimmed. The newest model Is double breasted, hss a "standing" collar and la embellished with eighteen buttons, no less.

The January shirt sales have offered some wonderful possibilities.

WORTHY WORK QUICKLY DONE Enerar of the Navy Department In Handling; Three Thousand Honaes for Messina.
