AND CAUSES EXCITEMENT AMONG PROLETARIAT. . Wearers of ttao genuine hobble akirts have only deigned to pass through the good old Quaker City and ao far none have dared to appear on the streets except In very mild creations.' However, In Logansport the appearance of the genuine article led almost to a r!ot. not of violence, but of exhibiting fror.i the proletariat. The Cass county city saw Its first examrlo or the true bobble on a woman who left a Chicago train yesterday and before she had gone five blocks she was attended by such a mob of joering followers that her return to the Pennsylvania depot was made In a cab through the atreets. Mlaa Margaret Conover, of Chicago, did not stop long- enough to give her street address to the grocer who helped ber out of the trouble. She was rnroute to Cincinnati and "hobbled" off a Panhandle train In Logansport with the asalatance of the . Pullman ear porter. The hobble skirt was brown, which Is as far as the average msn writer ran describe It. It Is about eighteen Inches In diameter at the bottom, and there was a band somewhere Just above the ankles that not only Impeded It's wearer's locomotion but threatened to tie up the traffic on the main streets. Exelttment Among Proletariat. It was Loganaport's flrat view of a hobble skirt and mere man marveled at the porter's dexterity In getting his passenger down the steps alive.

Then trouble began, trouble that will make the Logansport police more careful about guarding women who reach here clad in hobble skirts, because they make too much excitement among the proletariat Before Miss Conover had crossed the street about five minutes later, she had a following almost as large as the first time the dlrectolre skirt was worn down State street; Chicago. First the following was fairly reverent. Then attached more ribald members, until five blocks from the depot the wearer lost her nerve and tried to get Into a grocery store, where there are five stone steps to climb. Miss Conover, evidently had some experience with the hobble. She went up sideways Instead of trying to go up the steps direct. This gave the mob outside especial pleasure and they showed It by their cheers. On the last step, she swerved a little toward "fine speed ahead" and there was a tipping sound. Hovt She Escaped. As casually aa possible under the circumstances, Miss Conover approached the clerk, saying: "Let me have five pounds of sugar, or baking powder, or something." "And may I see the proprietor, of the bookkeeper, or anybody if she Is a woman?" . While the crowd waited for her reappearance Miss Conover arranged for a retreat to the Pennsylvania station by hiring a carriage and being driven through back streets. She left immediately for Cincinnati.

After attracting much attention for several days, 'gowned in up-to-date garments cut on the hobble skirt pattern, Mrs. Theodore Bourne was coming down the steps of her hotel when she fell.

The house was a fair one and seemed well pleased with the production, especially with the novelties which were introduced. These perhaps were the equal of any which have ever been displayed In the city. The plot for a comic opera, was above the average. OVERCOME BY GAS ; Jim . Kelley, an .' employe ,: of(' the Light.

He is worse off than-he was years ago when, under his real name of Jack Warner, he was a page in a hotel at Belfast, Ireland. Warner was a handsome, curly headed youngster, and when he went to London with the idea of becoming an actor he met Oscar Wilde, who gave him a smattering of palmistry and took him to the Duchess of Sutherland's house one evening, where he introduced him as "Cheiro," a great palmist from India. Warner in an inimitable manner painted u picture of romanticism and mysticism that was absolutely gulped down by the entire party as truth. Under Wilde's schooling "Cheiro"
