Major Richard Sylvester, chief of police, 'has adopted a new style of official head gear for himself, Capt. Austin and the in spectors and lieutenants cf the depart ments, which is a. decided innovation. In place of the old style cap with its straight, glfsienlng vizor, which threw heat and "sunshine directly into the 'eyes of the wearer, the Summer hat is in the shape of a natty brown derby, w'tb a rather narrow brim, A silver cord runs aroaid tht crown at the base, the acorn tipped ends forming a ,loop bow In front. A wreath, with the rartk of the wearer embroidered in pold Jotters in the center, is placed en the 'front of the hativing it a .tr.'irin and official appearance- For "Winter wear a cap has been decided upon, but It will have a downturned vizor and will be similar to the caps wdrn by army offi cers. The Summer hats have been issued and are being worn now by the officers of he department when in full uniform. They are comfortable and make a much better appearance than the old styo cap.

Edgar Thompson, a schoolboy, fifteen years old, of 1313 I Street northeast, was taken to the Emergency Hospital yester day morning, suffering from a bullet wound over his left eye. A colored boy gave a cheap revolver Saturday after noon to Thompson's brother, and the lat ter took it into the house to show it to Edgar. They had no cartridges at the time, but later Edgar found one whicli fitted and he slipped it into one of the chambers. Then he laid the weapon down on a table, and his brother, coming in a little later, picked it up, and not knowing that it had a cartridge in it, began snapping it at Edgar. The bullet entered his head just above the left eye. 1'ew "Warehouse Erected. ,The Seaboard Air Line people have made a handsome addition to their prop erty at Norfolk In the shape of a splen did warehouse on the water front. The r.ommodious new building affords the management of the road ample accom modation? for its increased traffic which Its size and conveniences show were much needed. The new warehouse, on account of the steadily Increasing foreign trade of the Seaboard Line has become a necessity, and will be used exclusively for the handling of freight, especially cot ton, for export trade. The erection of this new building Is regarded as an evi dence of the faith of the road in the steady growth of the resources of the South. The new structure covers an area of about two acres and has a stor age capacity of 21,000 bales of cotton. TWth this most advantageous facility the uMMbharwir LIne management claim it XI .be"?r ab,e than ever to handle foil "eSS Wh,ch ls tendi"S to Nor! folk.

CJL 1 I. IN SEARCH OF EVIDENCE. Tliomns 31. Fields Investigates Ills Alleged Marriage in Baltimore. The last chapter of the Flelds-Von Olsen annulment cross bill replevin pro ceedings has not" yet been written, and from what was 'learned last evening new and interesting ,. developments .may be looked for in the near future. Thomas M. Fields, the original mover in the proceedings, was seen at his home shortly after his return from Baltimore, where he had been on business connected with his suit against Wilhelmlna A. E. von Olsen for the annulment of an alleged marriage certificate, which she claims to be a record of their marriage. He said that he had searched the rec ords of the clerk of court of Baltimore and Is now more firmly convinced than ever that the alleged certificate is a forgery. He had several photographs of the certificate made, which will be used as evidence at the trial. Mr. Fields said he had also searched the city directories of Baltimore as far back as 1S50, and no where can there be found the name of such a person as -the "Rev. Kenry S. Clogg," the minister who Is al leged to have performed the marriage ceremony. Further than this, ho says, the certificate will show forgery on its face by the fact that ithe n.nne "Clogg" Is spelled one way in the body of the cer tificate and another in the signature. He gathered a great tdeal mtreAvery ma terial testimony, he -said, wb'ich he did not think it well -to disclose. In reference to his picture being levied and taken away he said such a. proceed ing only went to show the animus of the defendant, and caused him no uneasiness. Mr. Fields said that today or some time within the next few daysjie will inter vene in the replevin prbceedlngs:brought against his wife, and show conclusively that the property levied uppn belongs to him and not -to his wife. He will also ask that a new bond be glvea "for the re turn of the property. GETTING BEADY TOPABADE. Good-Xatured Itlvnlry Ueivrecn he Various Police Precincts. Active preparations are being made in all the police precincts of the city for the annual police parade and drill, which will be held October 15, The men who will take part are being drilled twice a week, and there is considerable good-natured rivalry among the precinct companies for the honor of bearing the prize fiag to po lice headquarters. Major Sylvester after consultation with his officers and Commissioner Wight, has decided that there will be no competitive drill for the flag. Since October 14 last year it has reposed in a handsome case in the First Precinct police station, to be taken out only on state occasions. This year it Is the purpose of the de partment to make a battalion fiag of it and keep it at police headquarters. The parade will be reviewed by the Commis sioners and specially Invited citizens, and the fiag will be awarded to the company which makes the best showing In line. They will have the honor of forming a color guard, which will carry the flag to police headquarters and formally turn It over to the major. Lieut. Amiss has announced that the case, which is the property of the First Precinct, and was made by Policeman Frank Emmert, will be presented to head quarters by his men, and in the future it will adorn the walls of Major Sylvester's office. It is a handsome bit of cabinet work, made of seasoned quartered oak, and lined with blue plush. The case ls the full size of the flag, with a single piece of plate glass for the front. It has not been definitely decided "yet whether or not the President will review the parade this year. If he is in the city when it takes place he, with the members of his Cabinet, will doubtless witness It, as they did last year. '.from a stand erect-,. eu in iront oi tne wmte. .House, as was. the case last year, the parade will be a joint one of the police and fire depart ments. There will be nine companies of , In fantry, a troop of mounted men, the am bulance corps, which includes nine patrol wagons, and the fire department's turn out. The magnificent display made by both departments last year is still re membered, and every effort will be made to make the occasion this year an even more memorable one. COBBETT LEAVES TBATNTING. Accuses McCoy and the Hawthorne Club of Deceiving the Public. Asbury Park, N. J., Sept. 23. Corbett and his retinue of trainers broke camp this afternoon and left for New York. The ex-champion said that he was tired of training when there was no positive assurances in sight that his proposed fight with McCoy will come off. Corbett had intended remaining here unUI the second week in October, and it was a sur prise to his friends when he announced his determination of getting. out. Before leaving Corbett said: "I will not be a party to any deception perpetrated by McCoy and the Haw thorne Club. I believe they are deceiving the public. Last night I received a letter from a friend in Buffalo saying that ef forts are being made to induce the au thorities to permit my fight with McCoy to proceed far enough to get about $7,000 from admissions. The Idea Is to h'ave the 'Kid' and me on hand, and when we start to box It is understood that the police will interfere the same as was done In the case of Lavlgne and Erne. Such a fiasco would probably make me $10,000 richer, but I am not after money made by such methods. McCoy never intended to fight, but I want to demonstrate that I can whip any man in the world:" While Corbett Is disgusted with the present turn of affairs, he has hopes that' either Jeffries or Sharkey will accept the offer made by several reputable clubs. Ten-Mile Amateur Ccle Race. The annual amateur ten-mile handicap road race, under the management of Ru dolph Jose, will be held on Thanksgiving Lay, November 24, at 10:30 a. m on the Conduit Road course, finishing" "at Cabin John Hotel. The prizes, consisting of several bicycles and jewelry, will be an nounced later. As this race will be the largest ever held In this part of the country quite a few out-of-town entries have been received. Entry blanks 'may be had from R.

(From the English Illustrated Magiznft) To the somber philosopher the Cuban war stands for a struggle between a young and an old civilization; it is the old fight of the Saxon against the Celt.

As a "war" proper It would scarcely In terest the tacticians. Spain Is always thf land of the Infante. Today It Is thp kingdom of an infant, just as it was sixty-five years ago, when the king's grand mother, Isabella II, ascended the throne at the age of three, assuming the actual government when she. was thirteen. Cu riously enough, at that time both parts of the Iberian peninsula were ruled by little girls, and both were In touch -with the American continent, inasmuch as Brazil was In keeping of a little boy, poor Pedro II, then aged eight. The road these three children had to travel was as hard as Alfonso XIII's. Isabella's path -was especially thorny. Her mother, Maria Christina, shocked the grandees of Spain by contracting (in 1S33) a morganatic marriage a few months af ter the death of her husband. She plotted and planned to marry Isabella, who ulti mately wedded her cousin, Francisco de Assisi. Maria ultimately had to go to France (In 1854); and Isabella was ex pelled to the same country in 1SCS, abdi cating two years.later In favor of her son, Alfonso XII, the lather of the present boy-king. Marlai of Pdrtugal also found life a -worn. Her father, Dom Pedro IV abdicated in her favor in 1826, when she was seven, keeping- Brazil for himself and his son Pedro. Maria, who was: born In 1819, should have married her father's brother, Dom Miguel. But she didn't. She espoused first the Prince of Iieuchtenburg and then Prince- Ferdinand of: Saxe-Coburg-, cousin of our own Prince Consort, and the grandfather of the present king of Portu gal.
