Reign of Legal Chaos In-
augurated.
The final determination of the famous
White Caps to disband and forsake their
lawless raids has been received with a
feeling of general relief by those who
have suffered or stood in constant terror
of this notorious organization. There
has been so much interest manifested
in the doings of the White Caps that
the World correspondent has made a
journey of investigation through the
territory in which they have been oper
ating.
The Weite Caps were first heard of in
Blue River township, Harrison county,
Ind. At first they were known as the
"Whippet* Up," or "Regulators."
They were organized for a specific
purpose and achieved it. Some
ten years ago there lived on a
mountain farm in Blue River township
a man named Henry Long. Strange to
say. in thai township there was a chapel,
and near Hancock chapel was Long's
farm. Long was a man of herculean
build. He was nearly seven feet in his
bare feet, for he did not wear stockings.
His frame was such as does men good to
look at. Henry was a believer in the
theory that "What's yours is mine, and
what's mine is my own." Not that he
was any ordinary, petty thief. He
played for far larger stakes. On one
occasion he stole the use of a man's
farm for a year, and on another went
over to the Kentucky shore,
STOLE A POKTAIJI.E
saw mill, engine and all, loaded it on a
stolen ferryboat and got safely back
home with it.
At this time justice at Corydon, the
county seat, was fearfully and wonder
fully * administered. Although Har
».ison county is
■**' fairly prosperous,
it was unable to
support in proper
style and comfort
the fifteen or
twenty lawyers
who lived In
Corydon. In or-
der to make both
ends meet these
offsprings of the
law had formed a
sort of league
with the county
officials, whereby
all court cases
which came up
were postponed
from time to
time, largely In-
creasing the fees
Inefficient .UAB- and proportion-
niASs. ately diminishing
the patience of the clients. Affairs
Dually became so bad that justice could
not be had by any one outside the Cory
don ring. Thereupon arose the first
grumbling of the citizens.
One spring morning a neighbor of
Long, named Smith, looked out upon
liig farm and discovered Long and a
••earn of mules engaged in ploughing up
i.is i;esi iot. in repiy 10 rimmi s ex-
» i ted inquiries Long stated that he did
not care a copper who owned the land,
he was going to raise a crop on it. And
he not only raised the crop, but he har-
vested it, and was not even arrested.
Long was a holy terror. After he had
safely harvested his ill-gotten crops he
•conceived the scheme of stealing the
paw mill. Alone and unaided he stole
.the hand ferry which ran across the
[Ohio river at Corydon, crossed the river,
land in the dead of night loaded the
mill; recrossed the stream, and in the
fnorning was far away in Blue River
ownship. Of course, a great hue and
cry was raised, but the injustice of the
Corydon courts was so well known that
Long was not prosecuted.
By his cruel prowess he had so un-
mercifully beaten several of his neigh-
bors that they had disposed of their
possessions at a great sacrifice and fled
Jhe county, One of his victims was
Charles Dinklocker, now a respected
resident of Now Albany, Ind. Finally
Long's neighbors came to the conclusion
that there was one citizen too many in
their midst. Over one hundred of them
banded together, and agreed to rid the
county of the monster by fair or foul
means. They tried fair means first. He
was arrested and taken before Justice
Baston, of Blue River, on the charge of
assault. Knowing full well the devious
methods of justice, he did not resist.
The court was held la the justice's house
after dark, and the room was filled with
Long's enemies. On his arrival he was
at once searched. Two ugly navy revol
vers were taken from his pockets, and a
razor-edged bowie-knife from his boot.
The trial proceeded. Justice Baston
rendered all his decisions in favor of
the prisoner, and he was about to be dis-
charged, when an unusual disturbance
was heard outside, ltwssthe tramping
Of hoofs.
THE REGULATORS nAD ARRIVED!
Long grew pale and realized he had
reached the end of his rope. The regu
lators approached the door in a body, all
heavily armed. The scene was intensely
dramatic. The prisoner stood pale and
resolute with his eye upon the pistols
which had been taken from him. The
door was flung open with a crash and a
score cf men, led by Henry Allen,
pressed in with drawn revolvers.
Quick as a flash Long leaped from his
guards, grasped one of his pistols and
sent a ball crashing through the brain
Of poor Henry Allen. Turning like a
caged tiger he fled through a rear door.
The mob pursued, shooting volleys at
the fugitive. Long miraculously gained
the shelter of the woods, but saw the
game was up. He went at once to a
friend's house and had himself conveyed
to Corydon, where he gave himself up.
In the fight he had been wounded three
times, once through the body, once
through the leg, and a third ball had
entered the back of his head and
emerged through his mouth. After
eight days he died in the county jail.
The county was well rid of an extra-
ordinary outlaw, and the regulators
were consequently elated. Immediately.
all over Harrison county, there sprang
tip similar organizations known as
»'\\ bippers Ups," and finally as "White
Caps." They constituted themselves
the conservators of the morals of their
unscrupulous neighbors. Notorious
women, drunken loafers, and shiftless
eons of worthy widows received special
attention. Twenty-five to 150 lashes
were given to each victim across the
bare back. The raids of the regulators
always occurred at night, were can-
ducted with great secrecy, and no one
knew who the members were.
InlSSthe Corydon ring of county
official, became more corrupt than ever.
It was alleged that County Treasurer
Bowling was short in his accounts,
and the people demanded that an
investigation be made. This was re-
fused, and one night the town *of
Corydon was raided by 200 of the
White Caps. They were dressed in suits
more grotesque than elegant. Each
face was concealed by a large black
mask and was surmounted by a peaked
white cap. The captain was enveloped
in a long white garment from his head
to his heels. As the procession entered
the town the vigilants fired off their
pistols. They paraded the streets for
two hours, announcing at each corner
that if the county commissioners did
not promptly and thoroughly Investi
gate the books each one would be taken
out and whipped. The books were
promptly examined, and found to be In
a terrible condition. The treasurer was
several thousand dallars short.
From Harrison county the
• CRAZE SPItEAD
to Crawford, where it obtained a great
foothold amo:>g the less intelligent peo
ple. For six rears the operations of
the Crawford County White Caps have
approached in honor those of the Mol
lie Maguires. From being an organiza
tion to promote the good of the commu
nity it has become a vehicle for the grat
ification of the most malignant
petty spite. At present the or
dinary mode of procedure is as
follows: If the man to be whipped is a
desperate fellow no warning is given.
but if he is a common sneak thief a
note bearing a skull and cross-bones
- _iTT h and a bundle of hick-
ory switches are left
on his doorstep. If
he does not vacate
the country the riders
meet on horseback a
few hundred yards
from bis house. A
guard is left to watch
the horses and, un
der the leadership of
a captain, the gang
proceeds to the house
of the persop to be
punished. The door
is battered down and
mtss wiseman. the victim is dragged
forth. He always knows what to ex
pect and is never disappointed. No
useless explanations are given. He is
dragged to the nearest natural whip-
ping post and is tied naked. Each regu
lator lays five lashes on his bare shoul
ders. Each stroke draws blood and an
agonizing yell from the terrorized vie-
tim.
These whippings mean business and
are never given for fun. Men and
women are treated alike. Many women
have been whipped, especially within
the past year. When one is whipped it
is always inflicted for an infraction of
the Seventh commandment. If there
is anything which an Indiana farmer
views with horror, it is any disorderly
conduct with which he is not connected.
Although the White Caps have been
generally successful In accomplishing
their purpose when they set out to pun
ish a victim, vet they have not always
escaped unhurt. During the last
part of July a tragedy oc
curred in the secluded neighbor-
hood of Carnes' Mill, near English,
Crawford county. A middle-aged
woman named Wiseman and her daugh
ter, aged nineteen years, had fallen un-
der the displeasure of the White Caps,
who charged that the women were dis
orderly. On tiie night of July 23twenty
five well mounted and well armed
White Caps rode up to the secluded res-
idence of Mrs. Wiseman, took the
mother and daughter out of bed, stripped
them of their clothing, tied them to
trees and whipped them unmercifully
'th hickory switches.
Blood followed each blow, and the
.s!;rieks of the tortured women could be
h«*ard a mile away. Their cries for
i mercy were disregarded by their tor
i nu ntors, and the "blows fell heavy till
the women fainted on the ropes which
heid them to the trees. They were then
cut loose and the
WHITE CAPS
remounted and rode away.
Leslie Moreland, the nearest neigh
bor of the Wisemans, had been aroused
by the shrieks of the women. Moreland
is a reputable citizen of the neighbor-
hood, and bears a reputation for great
bravery. He apprehended that he
might receive a call from the regulators;
so, securing two seven-shot revolvers
and a double-barreled shot-gun. belaid
in wait across the road from his house
behind a stone wall. It is customary
after a victim has been chastised for the
marauders to inform a neighbor of the
punishment and command him to spread
the news in the vicinity. Scarcely had
Moreland taken up bis position behind
the wall when the masked men drew up
in front of the house. They called
Mrs. Moreland to the door, and told her
to have her husband spread the news.
She told them he would do no such
thing. The White Caps said if be did
not they woeld call again, and take him
out and ban.: him.
moreland's AMBUSH.
They then began to shout and.> fire
their pistols at the house. Morelanrt
opened fire from his ambush with his
shotgun. As soon as the gun was
discharged he seized his pistols,
and fired fourteen more shots at
the gang. This Was more than was
expected, and the astonished White
Caps put spurs to their horses and gal-
loped away, one of them, John Saun-
ders, leaving behind a blooody hat. and
two others being supported by com
rades. Three of the fane were shot,
John Saunders and Brice Gregory fatal-
ly. The name of the other could not be
learned. Gregory is a well-known
country merchant at Wolfork postoffice,
Crawford county. He is a man of con-
siderable means and has a large family.
He is well known in New Albany and
Louisville. Saunders is a saloonkeeper
and a worthless fellow.
The affair created tremendous excite
ment throughout Southern Indiana.
Moreland was the recipient of many
congratulations for his courage, and it
was hoped a death blow had been given
the notorious organization. Not so,
however, for Moreland has received two
or three warnings from the White Caps
ordering him to leave the country. He
goes heavily armed, and will undoubt
edly give the gang a warm reception if
they attempt to molest him.
The shooting of Gregory and Saunders
led to the arrest of several suspects.
They were, however, liberated- on light
bail. The matter was brought to the
attention of Gov. Gray, who ordered
Attorney General Michener to proceed
to the southern part of the state, and it
is his visit that has induced the notori
ous outlaws to disband.
"TWO SINNERS."
There was a man, it was said one time,
Who went astray in his youthful prime.
Can the brains keep cool and the he-art keep -
quiet
When the blood Is a river that's running
riot?
, And the boys will be boys, the old folks say,
And a man's the better who's had his day.
The sinner reiormed, and the preacher told
Of the prodigal son who came back to the
fold,
And the Christian people threw open the
door
With a warmer welcome than ever before;
Wealth and honor were his to command.
And a spotless woman gave him her hand:
And the world strewed their pathway with
'lowers abloom.
Crying: "God bless lady and God bless
groom '."
There was a maiden went astray.
In the golden dawn of life's young day.
she had more passion and heart thau bead,
And she followed blindly where fond love
led—
And love unchecked is a dangerous euide
To wander at will by a fair girl's side.
The woman repented and turned from her
sin.
But no door opened to let her In :
The preacher prayed that she might be for-
given,
But told her to loot for mercy in Heaven.
For this is the law of the earth we know:
That the woman is scorned, while the man
may go.
A brave man wedded her after all ;
But the world said, frowning: "We shall not
call." —Ella Wheeler Wilcox.

They are having their annual row
down at sanctimonious Ocean Grove
over bathing costumes. Time was
when the Methodist maiden at that sum
mer resort ambled from tent to surf
with her feet and legs bare to the knees,
and thought no harm of submitting to
leisurely courtship while sauntering or
lolling in that disclosing sort of rig.
Two years ago the rulers forbade the
girls to walk through the streets in
bathing dresses: last year they were
still more stringent, and this week they
actually arrested a young weman be

condemned costume. It was no
more scant of drapery than may be
seen at the other Atlantic watering
places, although considerably more so
than the average.
"Brief let me be," said the fair wearer,
and it was the ghostly trustees who
completed the quotation from "Hamlet."
"But this eternal blazon must not be."
They vowed that she was ot wicked in
tent, and in proof they cited the sighted
fact that

on the sand and covered herself little in
the water. Her suit was made of white
flannel, and Its waist fitted snugly over
a closely corseted bust and waist. Its
edges were bound with black braid.
Those edges, as to the sleeves, ended at
the biceps, from which point the arms
were bare, and they stopped on the
snug trousers at the knees, where white
stockings took up the task of covering
until relieved by canvas gaiters. It is
true that she was rather spectacular.
But custom settles these things. Any
how, I have placed the case conscien
tiously before my readers, who can now
judge for themselves.
It is at Pleasure Bay, near Long
Branch, that the sunlight seems like a
calcium because it illuminates young
women who look like actresses in a bur
lesque. Crabbing parties there contain,
once in a while, these bold beauties. I
saw one pretty but reprehensible crea
ture wearing a jet black cap and tight
bath dress, while with her contrastingly
bare fair arms she raKed for the festive
crabs. But Pleasure Bay is remarkable

EXAGGERATIONS OF DIVERSION
Just about the liveliest parties imag
inable go over there from Long Branch
to sail in yachts, wade for crabs, eat
clam-bakes and drink— well, enough to
make them far too reckless of public
opinion.
As to the much-assailed bathing cos
tumes worn by American girls, the sin
of them lies in their too frequent un
sightliness. Any woman ought to be
ashamed to put on a shapeless flannel
arrangement three times too big for her,
and thus display herself in ungraceful,
fiappy, dripping outlines. I would be
intolerant of them if I could. I would
drive them from the gaze of an outraged
public. But if a maiden will wear a
nicely-fitted blouse, reaching just below
her knees, and thus show a pair of
well-filled dark stockings instead
of wide trousers, she can have
my respect and admiration. Such

a one waded into the water at Manhat
tan Beach the other day, with a strong
cord attached to her belt, while a stal
wart bathing master held to the other
end. She meant to wade out beyond
her depth, to see if she could swim.
The man was to pull her in if she
couldn't float. Well, she floated! She
Just did ! But not in a decorous or com
fortable manner. The fact was, and 1
may as well be truthful about it, that
she wore a small, compact bustle of in
flated rubber for
THE SAKE OF CONTOUR.
"1 felt rattier buoyant before I had
waded out hip deep," she told me after
wards, "but 1 thought it was the salt
water. Slowly 1 submerged myself to
the armpits, and it was with difficulty
that I could keep my feet on the bottom".
I surmised that the dreaded undertow
was getting a hold of me and trying to
boost me out to sea, but I wasn't scared,
for I had confidence in the man at the
rope. Then I got into still deeper water
and struck out bravely to swim. My
head aud heels went under, and I as
sumed a position exactly like sitting
down -only the part of my anatomy
that would have been in the chair was
t'other side up and clear out of water.
I wouldn't have had it happen
for the world. The beech was
thronged. If I had been let
alone I'd have drowned there and
floated as a corpse away out to sea rather
than be rescued and identified. But the
humanitarian with the rope hauled me
ashore half drowned and entirely
ashamed. They thought 1 was going to
have apoplexy, but it was a rush of
blush to my face."
The new straw models for
EARLY AUTUMN HATS
are mostly ornamented with birds, or
little pan-shaped arrangements of point
ed feathers, and with ribbons, or else
covered entirely with net or tulle. As
to shapes in hats, many models from
Paris have low crowns, generally broad
and square, in some instances of the bell
shape, with brims narrow at the
back and broadening out in aurcols
style in front. The brims take on many
capricious freaks, being turned up here
or there— most frequently at the left
side or at the left front quarter— here or
there slitted or scalloped, here or there
pinched up or plaited, and otherwise be
traying the resources for variety which
are at the command of the designer.
The Tosca, which has been the showy
form of the present season, is to be the
dressy type of hat for early winter. It
is reproduced in felt, with little or no
alteration. Even the peculiar shade of
green— color in which it first made
its appearance before ' the world— is
maintained. There are two forms of
La, Tosca bat. One, a little less wide
in the brim than the other, Is waved or
gaufre at the back. Both are made to
be worn with the brim uplifted, and will
be generally trimmed inside; for In
stance, with a circular wreath of ostrich
feathers, and a bird nestling in one side,
or merely with a bird and lined with
velvet. A noticeable hat has the broad,
low, square crown, the brim on a line
with the crown at the back, and pro
jecting deeply in a cluster of side plaits
at the left front -quarter. A model of
this shape, In dark moss-green velvet,
has a bandeau of the velvet under the
brim, with a bow of satin-faced faille
Franchise ribbon, striped in three tones
of green lifting the brim at the point
of the plaits, a band of bias velvet laid
In several folds surrounding the brim,',
and at the left side of the front a great
bow formed of loops, many of the i rib*
bons intermixed with two tall loops of
velvet, sustaining a monture of the
head and back of an Oriental rifle bird,
and a wisp of the tail feathers of a bird
of paradise. "A*.l*l*"

have a slight pile, soft and glossy,- and
are very pretty and agreeable in their.
coloring. Plain, dull felt is reserved
particularly for traveling and morning
undress hats, such as are sold by the
hatters. Even these are adorned
with a little plumage in addition to
the band of gros-grained ribbon; mostly
tufts of soft brown or gray feathers,!
Both "pot" hats and turbans are
trimmed in this way, as well as soft
hats with an indent in the top of the
crown. Turbans and toques will be
more popular than ever, possibly.
Pleasing shapes in both turbans and
toques are among the imported hats;
and our most enterprising manufactur
ers of straw and felt goods are prepar
ing for heavy sales of these particular
hats. They appear in many subtle and
interesting varieties, with the crovn
broad, low and square; the crown
broad, low and rounded at the
edge ; low and oval, and rising in front
and shelving down in a gentle curve at
the back; the brim curled up regularly
all around, higher in front than at the
back, deeper at ona side than at the
other, rising high at the left front quar
ter, and so on— almost every model pre
senting a perceptible difference on its
lines. The Pierrot hat has a tall, sugar
loaf crown, and hardly any brim to
speak of. Felt hats have been ordered
in this most hideous shape. It is not
likely that any of these forms will be
worn much here, save, perhaps, in white
by little gills. There is, however, a
pointed felt hat on the list of novelties.
Its crown is neither so high nor so
pointed, and the brim is wider and
sweeps up in a becoming curve at the
back.
KIBBONS AND FEATHERS
will be the general trimmings. Plain
gros-graiu and faille Frai.caise ribbons
with fillet edges and two-toned ribbons
of these weaves, the front of one shade
of color and the back of the other, prom
ise to be of standard importance in the
coining millinery. Ribbons with satin
edi.es, or edged with a narrow satin
welt, are repeated. Wide double
faced ribbons, satin in front and faille
Francaise or gros-gain at the back, trim
some of the handsomest of the Paris
models, and some are garnished with
wide ribbons in stripes of three tones,
these stripes in some instances divided
by a hair stripe of white, pale gold or
some other delicate color. Velvet rib
bons with satin back have reanpeared,
and are again in the highest favor for
fine millinery. There seems to be no end
to the variety in the fancy feathers
for the next season. Cashmere effects,
in intermixtures of the feathers of birds
of brilliant plumage, in pieces of split
slub shape, bands for bordering, trip
lets of leaves formed of breast featheiß,
finished with a heron aigrette or a wisp
of the plumage of a bird of paradise,
introducing the feathers of all varieties
of pheasants, the beautiful little co-
Chitura, the peacock, rifle birds, the
ronze merle and other denizens of
Oriental aid South American forests,
have part in the provision for the au
tumn. Handsome montures are made
of the plumage of the owl, the thrush;
and other brown-mottled birds; much
is done with heron and grebe feathers;'
the heads, wings and breast-feathers of
doves, pigeons and other birds native
to our own country are made intomon
tures, and seemingly endless conceits
appear in dyed feathers. Among
