s BRUTAL WHITE GAPS. The Law and Justice Indiana Has Bred Within Her Borders. Communities Regulated and Terrorized by Masked Mobs of Men. Women Dragged From Their Beds, Stripped and Scored With Whips. Blood Freely Shed and a Reign of Legal Chaos In- 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.

The Reprehensible Creature Who Wore a Jet Hat and Light Dress. A Small, Compact Bustle of Inflated Rubber Which Made Trouble. The Folly and Fun of Fashion as Seen by Wicked Clara Belle. "New York Letter. New York Letter. 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 cause she would not lengthen her skirt. This picture shows with absolute pre- ONLY SCANT. clsion the cut and contour of the 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 SHE GAMBOLED Ml'Cn 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 for 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 SO BUOYANT. 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*" TITK NEW FELT HATS I•' - ' 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.
