NEW YORK, May 10.—Snail racing is an innovation in the mid-Atlantic, where there are not anti-betting laws, and judging from the excitement attending a race staged on the promenade deck of a French steamer, which has just arrived here, the sport is likely to prove popular. A woman passenger at dinner sug- gested the snail race. A half dozen snails of the edible variety, some three inches long, were obtained from the ship’s steward and placed upon a white sheet of paper on the promenade deck A head of lettuce was set as a goal, and, incidentally to encourage the racers. The distance over the track was 18 inches. When the first race was run off, on Wednesday afternoon, the winning sna‘! covered the course in a trifle more than three hours.

Brown’s Enterprise Now Has 7 Factories and Sales of $1,000,000 a Month. Alanson D. Bruwn made his first visit to St. Louis in 1472 as a delegate to the Southern Baptist Convention. In Mis- sissippi he had been engaged in the drug business for six years with his uncle and had sold out his share in the drug store for $13,000. He was so pleased with St. Louis that he decided to stay here accompanie1 by and go into the shoe business. He took as his partner the late J. M. | Bamilton, who had ractical know- ledge of the whol oe business, and they pooled their money and or- ganized the firm of Hamilton & Brown. They started out with three traveling salesmen, and from this modest start the present big Hamilton-Brown Shoe Co., with its seven factories and sales of $1,000,000 worth of shoes a month, has been developed. Brown was the creator of the shoe manufacturing industry in St. Louis. He established a shoe factory in St. Louis in 1883, the first in the city. Up to that time all the shoes sold in St. Louis had been manufactured in the East. The Eastern manufacturers scoffed at the idea that shoes could be successfully manufactured in St. Louis, end predicted an early failure of the enterprise, but Brown declared, as he had during the panic of 1873, When his partner, Hamilton, was about ready tc give up the fight, that the Hamilton- Brown Shoe Co. would never fail in anything it undertook. He built factory after factory, and as the result of the establishment of|{ the industry here St. Louis has become the largest shoe manufacturing center in the world. Made Partners of Employes, Early in his career in the shoe busi- ness he adopted the policy of taking bis employes into partnership with him. One of his first partners was his brother, George Warren Brown, him- self the head now of the Brown Shoe Co. As the men were trained in the business, and amassed fortunes of their own, he encouraged them to withdraw from his company and go into business for themselves. At one time or an- other nearly all the men who have be- come the leaders in the shoe industry . Continued on Page 3, Column 5. oe i Going. Some!

One of them was found in the passenger's waiting room at* the busy Lime street railroad station in Liverpool and the other in the sorting room of the post- office at Redding. In addition to those attempted. out- rages Farrington Hall, near Dundee, the residence of Henry McGrady, former Lord Provost, was destroyed by fire early today. Indications point to the militant suffragettes as the incendiaries. Flames broke out simultaneously in half a dozen places in the great man- sion, Which was a beautiful specimen of architecture. The house was being prepared for occupation during the sum- mer by the owner and his family. The fuse of the Liverpool bomb had been lighted by the perpetrator of the outrage, but had died out before it reached the gunpowder. The bomb con- sisted of a tin tobacco box filled with gunpowder and iron nuts and the long fuse was laid in the center. The Reading machine was wrapped in a bulky parcet. to which the at- tention of the postoffice employes was attracted by the sound of ticking. The police were calied in and on examina- tion found that the parcel contained an electric battery connected with ex- plosives and accompanied by quanti- ties of suffragette liter:ture.

LONDON, May 10—Bleinheim Palace, the residence of the Duke of Marlbor- ough, is one of the buildings marked for destruction by the militant suffragettes. The news of the plot to burn the palace and destroy its famous pictures reached the Duke some days ago. Whereupon he immediately ordered that the facili- ties hitherto freely accorded to the pub- lic to view the palace be withdrawn for the present. Bieinheim is one of the greatest show places of England. The letter to the Duke says: “IT hereby give you warning that Blen- heim Palace has got to fall by the hands of the suffrageties, and being a strong supporter of the movement, but not for any violence, I give: you this notice The plot is being prepared now and the particular portion to be damaged will be the picture gallery.

CHICAGO, May 10.—~Miss Maude Rob- author of the affidavit calling question of O'Hara, told her to the Ettleson committee appointed to investigate the allégations. Asked point blank by Senator Ettel- son whether her relations with O’Hara had been unduly intimate, witness re- plied in the negative. In her testimony she brought in the name of Mrs. Mabel Davidson Inbusch of Madison, Wis, daughter of a former governor of the Badger State. Miss Robinson testified that she came from Springfield to Chicago on the train with O’Hara and Thomas Vredenburgh. They went to the Hotel La Salle, whersa she checked her baggage and where they met Mrs. Inbusch, a widow. Thev then visited the cafe cf Hotel She-:- man for dinner. Vredenburgh, she said, and when he returned handed her the key to a suite of rooms, saving he had registered the quartet as “J. F. Miiller and wife’ and “EF. D. Duncan and wife.” The committee held an executive con- ference in advance of the first public session. Adjourn to Another Cafe. After the meal the party adjourned to the. Lambs’ Cafe, where, she said. they met Harry Gibbons, a court Bail- iff and friend of O'Hara, whom the latter says he telegraphed to meet him in Chicago when he found himself in the party on the train. After a number of drinks witness de- clared that she, Mrs, Inbusch and Vre- denburgh went to the Hotel ‘Sherman, leaving Gibbons and O'Hara talk ing. ou he sidéwalk in front of the Lambs’ afte, Later in the evening she said that the Lieutenant-Governor called at the apart- ment. It was at this point that Sena- tor Ettelson asked the direct question as to her relations with O’Hara. & Miss Robinson testified that she came to the hotel on Jan.. 17 and remained there three days. Witness said that she signed the af- fidavit at the request of Samuel Davis, a liquor dealer of Springfield, who as- sured her that it would never be made public, but would be used only to coerce O’Hara into steering his vice investiza- tion away from Davis. She said that the paper was meant as a club to be Held over O’Hara, according to assur- ances given to her. Later Davis asked her to sign a second affidavit against O’Hara, but on advice of Fred Mortt- mer, a lawyer friend of Springfield, she declined to do so. “Why didn't you want to sign inquired Senator Ettelson. “Because he said that Davis might not keep his promise to keep the af- fidavit secret.” Denies Improper Conduct. Throughout, Miss Robinson, dressed in a trim gray suit and frequently brushing back the long green veil which fell over her pretty face, spoke in a clear, unhesitating voice. “I wish emphatically to deny that there was any improper relations be- tween myself and Mr. O’Hara, or that the subject was even discussed,” she kept repeating between the interro- gations of Chairman Ettelson. “Nel- ther did Davis offer any money in connection with my signing the affi- davit.”’ “Were you the chairman. “Yes,” witness replied. “My hus- band was Foster Shriver of Spring- field. I was granted a divorce from him last April.

PRESIDENT WHO WINS INSURANCE POLICY SUIT ] G. RAWN. MRS. RAWN GETS 320,310 VERDICT Widow of Railroad President Successfully Opposes Plea That Husband Killed : Himself, ..-... A verdict for $20,316.68 in favor of Mrs. Florence W. Rawn, widow of Ira @G@. Rawn, president of the Monon Rail- road and vice-president of the Illinois Central, against the London Guarantce and Accident Co. was returned Friday afternoon by a jury in Judge Cave’s court, The suit was based on three insur- ance policies on Rawn’s life, and the verdict included interest from July 13, 1910, the day Rawn was mysteriously shot at his summer home at Winnetka, Ill. The insurance company resisted pay- ment on the alleged ground that Rawn euded his own life following revelations of graft in car repairing bills of the I!- linois Central Railroad. Mrs. Rawn de- clared her husband was shot in a struggle with a burglar. Rawn carried. insurance policies on his life aggregating $130,000, and after his death his widow filed suit againsi the various companies. Settlements on six policies have been made with her. She obtained a verdict for $15,661 in March against the Pacific Mutual Life Insurance Co., in one of the suits, im Judge Grimm’s court. Ten suits were filed in this city by Mrs. Rawn against accident insurance companies on account of her husband's death. The companies went to the Supreme Court and asked for a writ of prohibition against the local courts con- sidering the cases, raising a plea of jurisdiction, but a writ’ was refused them. Then six of the companies com- promised with the widow, she netting about $50,000 in the settlement. Four of the companies, however, re- fused ‘to settle and insisted on a trial. Of the two cases vet to be heard one is for $23,000 and. the other for $6000. Mrs. Rawn now lives at Greenwich, Conn.

WARN OF POISONS AT CITY HOSPITAL ra tion Against Mistake Tak- er Patient at Sanitarium Sleigh bells tinkled in all the wards of the city hospital Saturday. There was such a merry concert as the the white gowned nurses moved from place to place that the curiosity of the pa- tients was aroused. The bells were chained around the necks of medicine bottles containing poisonous drugs. Every time a nurse picked up a carbolic acid bottle ths noise of the bells attracted not only her attention but that of all the pa- tients in her ward. The mystery of the bells was selved by Dr. Wayne Smith, the superintend- ent. He explained that he had ordered them fastened to the neck of every bot- tle containing poison to make it im- possible to administer poisonous drugs by mistake. The order was issued following the in- dictment by the grand jury of Thomas Adams, an attendant at the city sani- tarium, for giving to a patient car- bolic acid by mistake. The patient was killed and Adams was indicted for man- slaughter in the fourth degree. ‘With the bells on the bottles,” Dr. Smith said, ‘“‘there will be no possibility of making mistakes. The nurse or at- tendant will be warned immediately py the ringing of the bells that the bottle contains poison. There is some chance for misreading of labels, but the littls tinkling bell will always be on duty against carelessness or the mistakes in- sident to haste or imperfect labels.”’ SHOWERS TONIGHT AND TOMORROW; WARMER THE TEMPERATURES, is one good thing about this weather.

TROUSSEAU STIRS GERMAN CURIOSITY Hinted Kaiser’s Fear of Socialist Criticism Hides Luise’s Wed- ding Outfit. DRESSMAKERS ARE SILENT Fatherland Under Heavy Emer- gency Tax and Gown Is Said to Have Cost Only $1000. BERLIN, May 10.—Scores of. tailors, dressmakers and lace makers gave a Sigh of relief today at the completion of the greater part of the trousseau of Princess Victoria Luise, who is to marry Prince Ernst of Cumberland on May 24. There has been a continuous stream of delivery wagons at the palace at Pots- dam and boxes after boxes have been delivered and ex ‘bited for the inspec- tion of the Empress and the ladies of the court. The Berlin papers have sought in vain for information as to a description of the bride’s« trousseau, in regard to which there is much speculation owing to the unusual secrecy which is being observed. The shopkeepers refused to give any information, declaring that the strictest injunctions have been imposed on thtm and that a violation of the restrictions would involve the loss of the royal patronage. Early this week it was an- nounced that the bride's’ trousseau would be exhibited at the Museum of Industrial Art, but a high court mar- Shal said that no decision had yet been reached as to when the public would be informed as to the details. Socialists Are Feared, Inquiries in court cireles elicited the BOoiInewhat surprising information that the fear of the Socialists hangs heavy over the bride’s trotisseau and is more or less responsible for the secrecy. It was intimated that the Kaiser and Kais- erin were afraid of the caustic criticisms of the Socialist press as to the cost and quality of the outfit. It is said that the Empress probably will decide in the coming week, in view of the popularity of the Princess, to permit the wedding gown and veil, to be placed for a few days at some place where the public can see them. Unofficial information received at ve- rious shops in regard to Princess Vi-- toria Luise’s trousseau is that it ‘s rich, but of simple elegance. Althoug!: the Kaiser's wealth is estimated at $25,- 000,000 and his salary is $4,500,000 and Princess Victoria Luise is marrying into an old Guelph fund of $25,000,000, the Kaiser and Kaiserin are said to have given strict orders for a comparative! inexpensive outfit and to avoid all in- dications of ostentation, as this year’s emergency taxes have involved heavy sacrifices in the Fatherland. Twenty-One New Gowns, The Princess is said to have 21 new Fourteen of these are: tailor- Many wealthy American brides have more elaboraté outfits and are freer in their choice of goods. This simplicity and inexpensiveness is in- tended to avoid the giving of ammu- nition to the Socialists, while another offense is avoided by having everything made in Gerinany. The wedding gown is of white satin point applique of conventional cut, with the train four yards long. The cost of the gown and the train, which has béen specially hand made, and the lace will not exceed $1000. The veil, on which many girls in the Silesian lace school worked for more than six weeks, cost $600. U. S. GETS BILL FOR 35 CENTS AND MUST PAY gowns, made, New Hampshire to Collect for Killing 3 Brown-Tail Moths at Dover Postoffice. WASHINGTON, May y—The Com- monwealth of New Hampshire today filed a claim for 35 cents against tre United States Government, and _ the ‘worst of it is the United States must must pay, notwithstanding that econ- omy is the watchword of the adminis- tration. State authorities in a campaign against pests invaded the back yard of the postoffice at Dover, destroyed three brown-tail moths and presented a Dill for 3% cents at the established rate cf 1h cents for the first and 10 cents for each of the others. The Postmaster protested that he could have killed the moths without ex- pense if the State had pointed then out, but to no avail, and the bill was sent to the Treasury.

Letters written by Edgar McCammon to Mrs. Stacey E. Thomas, and which Mrs. Thomas never received because they were intercepted by her husband, played a part in causing her to lose her divorce — suit. Judge Rassieur, after hearing testimony in the case for three days, late Friday gave a decree in favor 209 Lafayette avenue, on his cross bill. The letters were introduced in evidence. McCammon took the’stand-as a wit- ness for Mrs. Thomas. He admitted writing letters to her in which he ad- dressed her as “My Little Red Head,” and “Little Honey Bunch,’ and in which he used such expressions as but said that the wording was intended to be jocular. To the husband was given custody of his son, Gregson, who had been in his mother’s charge while the suit was pending. ‘Mrs. Thomas ° wept when Thomas took the boy’s hand and led him,from the courtroom. While the trial was in progress the child had sat with her most of the time. Under the decree of divorce she will be permitted to see him only once a week. Mrs. Thomas is eh ali lenag: small and pretty. She charged that her husband no longer loved her, that he nagged her, would not take her tg places of amusement and allowed their child to accompany him into barrooms. He charged that she fre- quented dance halls and places where intoxicating drinks are sold and. wit- nesses testified to having met her in such places.

BY Associated Press PEORIA, Ill., May 10.—State’s Attor- ney W. W. Reardon of Tazewell Coun- ty, stated today that he will not turn Clyde Stratton, who is a prisoner in the Tazewell County jail, over to the Federal authorities to be returned to Leavenworth prison or to the authori- ties at Columbus, O., where he is wanted. He says that he will try him at the September term of court on the charge of burglary and larceny, the maximum sentence being 14 years in the penitentiary. Stratton escaped from Leavenworth prison March 29, by crawling half a mile through a sewer and two men who started with him, were forced to turn back on account of the sewer gas. The Leavenworth authorities had asked that he be returned to them. Stratton said today he had shot two men, but that he did not kill them. He refused to ‘reveal their identity or tell where the shooting took place. He says that he was in Chicago during the auto bandits’ raids and that there he purchased an automobile for which he paid $1300. When asked where he had obtained the money, he said he had stolen it. When asked what he was doing in this part of the country he declared that he was prospecting for a number of bank robberies, the first to be at Dan- vers, Ill. The smaller robberies were perpetrated, he says, to tide him over until the time set for the series of bank robberies which he had planned.

WAS VAUDEVILLE SINGER' Death Due *to Natural Causes; ‘Sister?’ Who Was With Her in Room Has Disappeared. Testimony was taken Saturday morn- ing concerning the death of Mrs. Leathia Laflam—also Miss Lethia Underwood—who was found dead [ri- in a room at the Woodford Hotel, 1483 Chestnut street, but a verdict as to the cause of death will be withheld until the toxicologist has completed a chemical analysis of thexstomach. While the presence of poison in the stomach has been ascertained, the Cor- the opinion that the poison was generated from disease complica- tions. The autopsy physician found that she had eaten mushrooms, but whether this food caused her death will not be known until after the analysis. Among the witnesses who were ques- tioned were Mrs. Elizabeth Lange of 1920 Goode avenue, mother of the girl, and Arthur Lange, stepfather of the girl. Both said that Mrs. Laflam had been under the care of Dr. Maurice A. Krankenthal of 4132 Easton avenue for several months. Mrs. Laflam, who also was known as Miss Leathia Underwood, accompanied by another woman, registered Wednes- day night at the hotel as “Sylvia Ku- ber and sister.’’ The “sister’’ left the hotel Thursday afternoon, saying her sister was sick and that she was going to call an ambluance to have her taken tc a hospital. She did not return. Mother Identifies Body. Mrs. Louis Lange of 1920 Goode ave- rue, ‘mother of the woman, identified the body Friday night as that of her daughter, and said Mrs. Laflam left her home Tuesday morning to pay a gas bill and had not returned since. She was accompanied by Leathia Laflam, 4 years old, daughter of the dead woman. A divorce suit was filed a month ago by Mrs. Laflam against Noah Laflam and was docketed for trial the last of this month. She alleged in her petition hat her husband deserted her a short time after the birth of their daughter. They were married in 196. David W. Israel, proprietor of the Princess Hotel, Eighteenth and Ches*- nut streets, told the police the woman registered at his hotel in December as Lea Underwood, Chicago. He said she stayed there several weeks, and when she left he held her baggage for a board bill of $10. In the baggage the police found let- known as day oner is of ters to the woman from various meén. | Some were addressed to Miss Leathia Underwood and others to Mrs. W. E. Avery, 3580 Vincennes avenue, Chicago. Police Learn of Child. Several letters were signed Avery,’’ and asked her to hurry anid get a divorce so that they could be married. In a pathetic letter which the woman had neglected to mail, and evidently was intended for Avery, she made a pitiful appeal to him to sen2 money so she could join him in Atlan- ta, Ga, Other communications were from a man who signed his name as ‘‘Underwood.”’ In some of the letters from men the woman was criticised for transferring her affections from the writers to other men. It was through a postcard found among the letters that the _ police learned the mother’s address and of the existence of the baby girl. Mrs. Lange told the police that her daughter re- turned to St. Louis from Chicago last winter and had been employed for a time as a singer on the vaudeville stage. She had also worked in a gro- cery store here, according to her moth- er. The police have failed to find the woman who went to the Woodford Ho- tel with Mrs. Laflam. 3 BANK ROBBERS GET $2000 AT BONANZA, ARK. “Walter Posse Starts From Fecrt Smith, Men Coming With Stolen Cash.

Nearly all of the men who were trained under Brown made success of their own business. Some of them afterwards became his keenest business rivals, but most of them have always remained his close personal friends. It has heen said that Brown, by giving young men their financial start in life, has made more men rich in St. Louis than any other citizen. Some of the men who came from the farm, without a dollar in their pockets, and went to work for him at small salaries, are now rated as millionaires.

A miniature aeroplane bearing a ban- ner stating that “A high flyer is to be taken in matrimony in the near 7u- ture," formally anneunced Friday the engagemertt of Miss Josephine Brandle, 19 years old, of Belleville, and William G. La Rue of St. Louis, at a receptio. at the home of the young woman’: parents. A romance starting in their schooi days is woven through the court, ship of the couple. Miss Brandle formerly lived in St. Louis. When she was eight years ol} She started to school one winter's day taking her sled with her. In coasting down a hill the sled struck an ash pile and was overturned. A boy picked her up and pulled her on the sled to school. The boy was Willie La Rue. He thet. Was ll years old. When she was 11 years old, Miss Bran- moved to Belleville, and they have lived there since. Two years ago Miss Brandle went to Creve Coeur Lak& She was introduced by a com- panion to an affable young man, also enjoying an outing at the lake. He was William G. La Rue, cashier for the Eddy & Eddy Manufacturing Co. The young folk renewed their ac- quaintance, which had been interrupt- ed by the removal of Miss Brandle. The incident of the overturned sled was re- told to the delight of the outing party. Since then La Rue has been a frequent visitor at the Brandle home. Friday afternoon Mrs. Brandle gave a reception at her home to several friends of her daughter. While the guests were at dinner the lights were turned out. Then from the center of the room an aeroplane sailed above their heads. When the lights were turned on a banner attached to the miniature air craft was revealed. It contained these words: “A High Flyer is to Be Taken in Matrimony in the Near Suture by Miss Josephine Brandle and William G. La Rue.’’ The date of the wedding has not been announced.

Outlook and which are now issued in book form. The letters are in answer to letters that have been received from “nown perplexed friends, who have owned enterprises.” There are private enterprises of which the Government is part owner and therefore has a voice in its directorate. Again, in other en- terprises the Government seeks to ac- quire controling interests. In Germany the Government.

To the charge that the “new immigration” gathers in cities and stagnates ther, the author responds, with fact and fis- ure, that the same charges were made to the immigration of a generation ago. He indicates clearly that “‘the effect of immigration upon labor jn the United States has been a readjustment of the population on the scale of occupation.” As to the standard of living, the author says that the tmmigrant laborer soon acquires American standards and de- mands the prevailing wage. (Putnam.) CONAN DOYLE IN NEW ROLE. ONAN DOYLE, turning tempora- C; rirly from Sherlock Holmes and the detection of imaginary crimes, has written a little book, called “The Case of Oscar Slater,” with a view to vindicate a man he believes is serving a life sentence for a murder he did not commit. Marian Gilchrist, an elderly woman, living in a flat in Queen’s Terrace, Glasgow, was found dead in one of her bedrooms. Though she possessed, besides a comfortable fortune, diamonds valued at $15,000, all of which were kept in her home, only one diamond brooch worth about $200, was missing. Oscar Slater was seen walking out of the flat but a short time after the mur- der, and he sailed immediately for New York, where he was arrested. He was taken back to Glasgow, tried, convict- ed and sentenced to spend the remain- der of his life in prison. Dr. Doyle vigorously attacks the evi- dence, ail circumstantial, upon which Slater was identified and convicted. He presents what he declares are suffi- cient facts to show conclusively that Slater could not have committed the crime and that he is a victim of both mistaken identity and insufficient evi- dence, He pleads for the British Gov- ernment to release Slater and give him complete public vindication. He is equally as interesting and ingenious in his reasoning and conclusions as his wonderful detective has ever been and it is impossible for one to read his story without hoping that it will achieve its purpose. (Lane.) “THE CRIMSON CROSS.” HERE are enough thrills and ex- i. citing incidents in “The Crimson Cross,” by C. E. Walk and Milliard Lynch to supply a melodramatic play- wright with material for an entire sea- son’s output. The cross, apparently an ordinary little jewel, contains a secret message, and is as eagerly sought as were the medals given to the scattered heirs in “The Wandering Jew.”’ Things are made to happen in the heart of Chicago in the tale’s telling that could never happen anywhere in real life, but the reader devours the in- credulous stories because of their very incredibility and because the story be- gins in such an air of mystery that its gradual development seems a natural sequence of events. There is a little love romance running through the story in which a very beau- tiful girl of violet eyes is the heroine, but one has no patience with love mak- ing and sweet phrases in the exciting chase for the cross. The reader is anxious to recover it, for each moment he is expecting to learn its secret. Hap- pily, this is denied him until the very last chapter, and then he is privileged to help figure it out. (McClurg.) WHAT DID JESUS BELIEVE? EV. DR. GEORGE SHIPMAN ~ PAYSON parts company with those who feel that they must “apologize to modern intellectualism for the miraculous and supernatural m Christianity. In ‘‘The Vital and Vic- torious Faith of Christ,’’ he tries to answer in his own way from the Gos- pels, the question ‘“‘What Did Jesus Be- lieve?’’ In this sense, we are to get “back to Christ’ by ignoring what high- ly intellectual and scientific people be- lieve or disbelieve about Christ. We are to find the ‘“‘faith of Christ,’’ only by finding what Jesus himself believed. If we think of Nero as a type of ex- treme intellectual culture, Herod as a representative of political and _ diplo- matic genius and Pilate as the result of science and philosophy at any historical period of climax, then Pilate’s question, “What Is Truth?’ is to be answered. The answer Doctor Payson would give is the “faith of Christ’? himself as a supernatural and miraculous means of saving the world from the worst conse- quences of beastliness developed during any period when the intellectualism of its Pilates, its Neros and its Herods has dominated it with “the limit off.” This supernatural means of escape is to become possible by the miracle of personal civilization as defined in tit “Reatitudes” under the most “unfavor- able environment” when it is said that those who attempt to practice “wha Jesus believed” are “sheep among wolves.” Those who wish to be the sheep are fittest to survive, may be greatly helped by Dr. Payson’s attempt to show them what Jesus himself be- lieved of what is real in such words as civilization and fitness to survive.— (Funk-Wagnalls). “THE MAN AND THE WOMAN.” HE next best thing to being in love 1 is to have the privilege of reading a wholesome study of the love theme, such as Arthur L. Salmon here presents. The cardinal relation of hu- man life is treated in a manner which beautifies and refines its manifestations, and which discounts the romancer’s idea that passion can ever rightly be placed above fidelity and duty. The conclu- sion is that “‘the sole loveliness of life is the beauty of loving.”’ (Forbes.) LITTLE THANK YOU. LITTLE boy's winning ways aid in the development of a pretty ro- mance, touchingly told by Mrs. T. P. O'Connor. But “Little Thank You” accomplishes also the redemption of a rather wild if attractive young man, and their comradeship is a thing beau- tiful to read, (Putnam.) LOVE’S SOLDIER. HERE are.many persons who like the sort of an English novel that | by! Olive Christian Mackirdy. There comes into the life of an orphaned but home-loving young aristocrat a waif. He centers the affection that follows grief and disappointment in a love affair on this bright youngster and then the story Starts with their two lives. (Cassell.) T some smell of the moist brown earth emanate from the pages of this attractively bound volume. If you haven’t a garden you will want one before you have read very far and by the time you have finished, you will feel that the garden in all] its rich beauty is your own. Mary E.

N dren, has made remarkable prog- ress in England within the last decade. One of the evidences of its progress is a series of ‘‘Shown to the Children” books, of which the eleventh. on “Bees,” is an excellent example.

ZA — — INSURING CITY BUILDINGS. It costs the City of St. Louis more than $10,000) a year for the fire insurance carried on municipal buildings. Delegate McCarthy is right in_ his contention. In view of the ample resources of the city and the present cost of protection, it will be a profitable business for St. Louis to carry its own fire insurance. The trustees of some State institutional prop- erty have been accustomed in the past to buy fire insurance, but the State is turning more and more to the policy of doing its own underwriting. Though the capitol was destroyed by fire, no one would contend that wise forethought requires that fire premiums should be paid on the new $3,000,000 Indeed, it is con- tended in the present crisis that the State should insure private property.as well as its own public property. Our most valuable city buildings are fire-proof, and if some others should burn it would be a civic gain provided there was no loss of life. To insure them: is an extravagance. Five Deriiocrats, 14 Progressives and 120 Repub- licans, making 139 in all, opposed the Underwood bill to reduce the cost of living. Only two Re- publicans and four Progressives supported it: | ae nines t | MERACLE-WORKER DISCREDITED. No remedial qualities are found in Dr. F. F. -Friedmann’s cure for tuberculosis. The German miracle worker not only does no good, but may dy harm, Those who leave off outdoor sanitation for the Friedmann treatment are relinquishing the substance and grasping at the shadow. This is the verdict of Dr. John F. Anderson and Dr. A. M. Stimson, designated by the Government to in- vestigate the visiting physician’s claims. ~—-_— Distrust of mystery in healers is well founded. | Mystery was the chief stock in trade of the old/ Charlatans of unscientific times and the medicine men of savages. The suspicion aroused in the medical profession by Dr. Friedmann’s secret methods had prepared the laity for the verdict. Great advance has been made toward the con- quest of the disease, but the value of what Dr. Friedmann has done is too doubtful'to be relied on. Patients may give up their single chance of life who put trust in it. “ae are _ BALLAD OF TARIFF OPTIMISM. “We have enjoyed ourselves with our debate or:tWo hours,” said Mr. Underwood, interrupting thé*o her day the discussion on his tariff bill. He addressed himself to his rivals in leadership ay - oan on the floor, Mr. Mann and Mr. Murdock, “to see if we cannot agree to swap tobacco between the lines, as it were’’—in other words, reach an amicable adjustment of parliamentary technicali- ties to itate the progress of the bill. “Enjoy” a debate on so time-stained and prosy a subject as the tariff? If we may judge from the “applause” and “cheers” and “laughter” and “great laughter” sprinkled in speecher actually delivered, not inserted under a leave to print, that te just what those Congressmen have been doing. Not a little tobacco has been swapped between the lines. There was, for instance, the generous slice of rugged natural leaf plug Henry A. Barnhart proffered his colleagues, inviting them to put it in their pipes and smoke it: | There-was & man named Joseph Cable, Who bought a goat, just for his stable; one day the goat, too prone to dine, Ate a red shirt, right off the line. - Zhen Cable to the goat did say. “four time has come; “you'll die this day.” _ And took him to the railroad track, fend there he bound him on his back. _ Mfhe train then came, and the whistle blew; Be sit ees _ And the goat well knew his time was due, But with a mighty shriek of pain, Coughed up the shirt and flagged the train. _ The lesson Mr. Barnhart, who is editor of the Sentinel at Rochester, intended to enforce is that J sings may not be recognized when they come, tit may be darkest just before dawn, that the od a Say See “menace the standpat orators see may pot be “ Wes terrifying as they pretend.

Affirming his confidence in the correctness of City Counselor Baird’s opinion of the illegality of repeals of the Reber approach ordinance and the Southern Traction franchise and of the useless- ness of seeking further legal light, Mayor Kiel says he wants the question of repeal submitted to the people. What will he submit to the people—the ques- tion of the legality of repeal or the question of repeal regardless of its legality? We can assure the Mayor -that the voters are not competent to decide the question of legality, nor will their decision affect the legal status of repeal. ' If the Mayor wants the voters to decide the question of repealing the ordinance, regard- less of the legal obstacles, he merely submits to them the issue of engaging in costly litigation which will delay bridge’ completion for many years. | In the case of the Reber approach there is the added problem of selecting another approach, should the Reber approach be repudiated at the polls. How would he select the new approach— by a popular vote on the advice of competent en- gineers? How would he submit the question of u% new approach to the people? Would he offer several approaches to be submitted in one elec- tion or a series of elections; or would he have the voters submit the approaches they favored at the polls? Suppose the approach selected at the polls cost more money than the bonds pro- vide, would we have another bond election? As a bricklayer anf contractor, would the May- cr submit the question of how to build a public building to the people? If the bridge bonds carry, with approval of the Southern Traction franchise, but without approv- a: of the Reber approach, the bridge will be in the air for an indefinite time. We shall have a trolley line without a bridge. If the bridge bonds carry, with the approval of the Reber approach and the repeal of the Southern Traction loop franchise, we can build the bridge, but we shall have, instead of a trolley line, litigation over the loop franchise. We shall either have to grant another franchise or wait until the city gets the power to build a loop. The only conclusion of the triple election which would assure the prompt completion of the bridge would be the approval of the bond issue, with the approval of the Reber approach and the Southern Traction franchise. | Are we likely to get this conclusion? Let us consider. Would the element of voters determined tc repeal the Reber approach ordinance and the Southern Traction franchise’ vote fpr the bonds without the certainty- of-repeal? Would the element of voters who have support- ed the bond issue hitherto, with existing condi- tions, support the bond issue with the probability of a muddle of legal complications which, may long delay the completion and the use of the bridge? Would not both elements repudiate the bond proposal in disgust at the shifty scheme of poli- tics designed to entrap them? We submit to Mayor Kiel the wisdom of acting on the legal advice of the City Counselor—let him assure himself of its correctness—and seeking a practical plan of avoiding complications. Amend the Southern Traction franchise in the one ob- jectionable point—the 60-year term. Substitute an indeterminate franchise or a 20-year term, with a purchase option. This would assure mu- nicipal ownership of the loop when the city has the power and desire to purchase it. Surely the owners of the franchise would see the wisdom of accepting without litigation a fair amendment in satisfaction of the popular demand for municipal control, as they accepted the repeal of the bridge franchise. The power to extend the Reber approach en- ables the city to satisfy the demand that the bridge be guarded against terminal bottling—in our opinion an impossible contingency since the anti-monopoly decision. | St. Louis never needed sane, strong leadership in the City Hall as it needs it now. It does not lie in evading issues, or multiplying the bridge complications, but in finding a straight, honorable, sensible solution of our present difficulties and convincing the people of its soundness. We need judicious and courageous action. Even the poker table at which Uncle Joe Can- non began to stand pat at Washington has been sold. COL. HARVEY ON MORGAN’S PATRIOTISM. One of the penalties of greatness to be paid after death is to suffer eulogy by the well-mean- ing but injudicious friend who was proud to know us. Col. Harvey’s remarks on the late: Pierpont Mor- gan reveal an unction and naivete which we should find altogether delicious but for the fact that the Colonel unwittingly slurs Morgan’s pa- triotism. We gather that in his ripe old age Mr. Morgan was first aroused to the consciousness that he had a country through listening to some laudable postprandial eloquence of the Colonel’s, and that later, in almost his last hours when he was so feeble that he could barely raise himself from his chair, he was converted to patriotism by means of a visit from the Colonel, who feelingly quoted the lines: “Breathes there a man with soul so dead my own, my native, land?” ae t , om the New York Evening Su) ; | Moros, civilzation migg,. c LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE An Ex-Telephone Girl’s Advice. Te the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. I notice the telephone operators are about to strike, and I, for one, hope and pray that they do, also organize a union. I was an operator once, worked for $15 per month. -I know what it is, and I worked night work; it nearly killed me. So, to keep life up, I decided to quit telephone work and took a six months’ courge in a business ecliege and now am earning $85 per month and can exist and get life’s nourishment now, some- thing my $15 a month operating could not supply. I certainly know the suffering of an operator's life. The telephone company takes in enough to pay as much as railroads pay to their office girls; so let all operators demand more wages and eight hours’ work; if they refuse them let them quit, for no one else will take their places, unless they call on Boston (Mass.) operators and I don’t think they'd do that, for the operators up there were striking and won the strike. When the operators in Boston were striking they tried to get two operators from these small towns near St. Louis, two out of every office, to go there and take the strikers’ place, offered to pay them $20 a week and board, but never mentioned a thing of a strike to them, but said a new telephone company had organized, but when the girls found out it was a strike they refused to go, so the strikers in Boston got their rights and now if these other towns do likewise their rights will be granted. Let the Post-Dispatch and all papers keep all tcwns where there are telephone branches in touch with the offices. that strike. Have your meetings, girls, and decide for the best, don’t let the officials get ahead of you, for you know they cannot get along without you. If all telephone employes would quit right now what would the officials do? Nothing, but give them their rights and demands or close down all telephone offices, and that is something that they will never do as long as girls offer to work a lifetime for $15 per month. ; ONCE AN OPERATOR, BUT NOW A STENOG- RAPHER OF COLLINSVILLE, ILL. California’s Anti-Alien Law. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. The letter in your Wednesday’s paper on ”Call- fornia’s Trouble,” betrays a superficial view of the question. It must be clear to everyone that if the laws of a State antagonize the provisions of a foreign treaty they are null and void. If California had adopted the laws of the Dis- trict of Columbia or of the State of Illinois de- harring all aliens from land ownership, Japan and China would have offered no objection, but to be singled out and discriminated against in this manner would naturaly invoke a protest from any self-respecting nation. _ As to “Japan’s insolent demands” and her “scheming and planning” awful things against the United States there is not a shred of evidence outside the, heated imagination of Capt. Hobson and other war-mad jingoes and carefully fos- tered by the armament syndicate. Had E. E. F. attended the Peace Congress last week and lis- tened to the instructive discoveries of Senators Fairbanks and Burton, Congressman Bartholdt, Edwin M. Mead, David Starr Jordan and many other able men and women, he would have been a wiser and probably, happier man. If E. E. F. will take the time to search the records instead of repeating the moss-grown platitudes of “the armor-plate. press” he has an- other surprise in store for him in the fact that history proves that heavy armaments have al- ways tended to provoke instead of prevent war. PAX. Absurd Titles. To the Editor of the Post-Di8patch. I find this in oné of our best publications: “The correct form of address for a member of the President’s Cabimet is ‘The Honorable the Secretary of State,” or ‘the Honorable John Smith, Secretary of State;’ and letters should be- gin ‘Sir.’ Address the President of the United States as ‘His Excellency the President of the United States,’ letters beginning: ‘Mr. President,’ or ‘Sir.’” Nonsense! Those are bad forms—un-American— Cabinet officer should be adressed simply as ‘Secretary of State,’ or whatever his real title may be. There is no such American title as “Ex- cellency.” In the first Congress there was de- bate on the subject, and some proposed that the President be addressed as his excellency, others as his highness but a committee reported that it was not proper to annex any style or title other than that expressed in the Constitution. That view was approved, and from the beginning of the government the President’s official title has been simply, “‘The President.” Offictal communi- cations and reports to him by the heads of de- partments are always addressed in that way, and no other title is authorized or proper. AMERICAN. GHOGRAPHY IN CALIFORNIA. Los Angeles Dispatch to the New York Sun. The Gazetteer of the Surface Waters of Cali- fcrnia, just issued, shows many curious similari- ties in nomenclature, common and favorite names having been given to different streams and lakes by the early settlers who christen most of the natural features in new countries. Such characteristic pioneer names ag Deadman creek, and Deadman Canyon Creek are applied to five different streams; in the area covered by the report there are ten Dry creeks, two Humbug creeks, two Jackass creeks, five Lion and Lion Canyon creeks, five ‘s.ost” streams, and two Mad rivers. Bear, Bear Canyon, and Bear Trap are applied to 36 different water bodies, and there are five Grizzly creeks. There are fifteen Coyote water bodies, two Wildcat, one Cat, and two Gatos (cat, Spanish) creeks, one Skunk creek, nine Deer creeks, one Rabbitt, two Quail, two Dog and one scorpion creek. : There are also ten Devil and two Diablo creeks, but the saints, male and female (san and santa), cover a dozen pages on the gazeteer. There is also a Poison creek, and a dozen Snake and Rat- tlesnake creeks. The fish are represented in a page full of Eel rivers, several Fish creeks, and one Sardine creek. GRADUATED INCOME TAX From the Boston Common. VWith the theory that rich and poor should be taxed alike on their Incomes we have little patience, The cry comes, a8 a rule, from the stanchest friends of the protective tariff, a tax in itself so designed as to tax the poor consumer for the chief benefit of the rich manufacturer. The same plutocratic interests who thought it the true “American system” to tax the poor for the benefit- of the rich, now call it “un-American” to reverse the process.

HE waking rooster greets the breaking day, The farm expert springs lightly from his cot, The hired man is throwing down the hay, And the busy housewife’s battercakes are hot. The agile farmer, with his big oil can, Vaults here and there among his patent plows, And the pretty milkmaid with her face of tan Bobs in and out among the blooded cows. The south wind turns the great windmill around, And water splashes in the barnyard tub, The breakfast bell intones its pleasant sound, And the hungry farmhands scramble in for grub. At breakfast, while the mind is fresh and keen, The expert reads from page four forty-two, Concerning corn rows and the space between, And what a proper planting ought to do. The biscuit plate sails blithely in and out, The ham and eggs begin to go around, And the expert, eating meantime, tells about The whims and habits of some kinds of ground. Full many a field of rich and fertile loam Is unproductive for the want of rule, And many a debt rests on a country home For lack of what they have found out at school. The old-time farmer, with his thin corn rows, Calls in the Sheriff and departs the scene, The modern farmer, in his tailored clothes, Tools up the highway in his limousine, The listening farmhand’s eyes begin to bug, The hopeful housewife stirs around the room, And the expert’s words, like some magician’s drug, Invest the coffee with a rare perfume, The happy farmer cries, “Well, boys—let’s go!” And like Phedippides they dash away. They scurry fieldward through the morning glow, And the great round sun begins his fleeting sway. Finds fulfillment in the mire.

From the Philadelptiia Telegraph. Prof. Henry Fairfield Osborn, direc- tor of the American Museum of Natural History in New York City, makes the ] suggestion that we should inaugurate a new order of sainthood for men like Pasteur, who showed the way to physi- cal redemption. The life work of these evangelists of what William Osler would call his “Third Gospel’’—the gospel of the body— has been to demonstrate what Prof. Os- born ventures to think is something more than merely scientific or humani- tarian. It is religious in the highest sense, “a true eveangel, the glad tid- ings of a Gonquest beside which al! oth- ers sink to insignificance, the final conquest of nature, out of which has come man’s redemption of man.” Would not, he asks, a statue of Louis Pasteur in the Cathedral of St. John the Divine proclaim the faith of the modern Church that the two great historic movements of Love and of Knowledge, of the spiritual and intellectual, and the physical well-being of man, are har- moniovs parts of a singlé and eternal truth? On the base of such a statute might be inscribed the words written at the most perplexing period of Pasteur’s life: . “God grant that by my persevering labors I may bring a little stone to the frail and ill-assured edifice of our knowledge of those deep mysteries of Life and Death where all our intellects have so lamentably failed.” $e DIDN’T BLUFF NEW HAMPSHIRE. From the Washington Herald. The new Missouri law is not one to suggest itself for use in other states. It is quite possible that the insurance com- ranies have been somewhat precipitate in preparing to run away before they were hurt. It is not the first time they have clashed with legislation of which they did not approve. They withdrew from New Hampshire when the “valued policy’ law went into force, but, of course, they returned again and were only too glad to do so. The only practical benefit from state insurance would be a better building code, because if the state had to pay the insurance bills it might require a much safer system of construction thaa that which now often is permitted to g0 unchallenged.

Although he did not pre- cisely turn into a prince, he turned into a poodle of the most fashionable aspect. Obviously an aristocrat among poodles— a poodle of high estate. The metamor- phosis was so #triking that a new fear assailed his rescuers, the fear that it might be dishonest of them to retain him—probably some great lady was dis- consolate at his loss! Sure enoubh. A few days later, when Sanquereau, the sculptor, called upon them, he said: “By the way, did I not hear that you had found a poodle, my children? Doubt- less it is the poodle for which they ad- vertise. See! And he produced a copy of a journal in which “a handsome re- ward” was promised for the restoration of an animal which resembled their pro- tege to a tuft. The description was too accurate-for “the children’ to deceive themse¢ives, and that afternoon Julfette carried the dog to a magnificent house which was nothing less than the residence of ‘the Comtesse de Grand Ecusson. She was left standing in a noble hall while a flunkey bore the dog away. Then another flunkey bade her follow him ap- stairs; and in a salon which was finer than anything Julfette had ever met with outside the pages of a novel, the Countess was reclining on a couch with the poodle in her arms. “I am so grateful to you for the recov- ery of my darling,” said the lady; “my jistress has been insupportable. Ah, naughty, naughty, Racine!’ She made a pretense of chastising the poodle .on the nose. “I can understand it, madame,”’ said Juliette, much embarrassed. “Where did you find him? And has he been well fed, well taken care off I hope he has not been sleeping in a draught?” | “Oh, indeed, madame, he has been nourished like a beloved chil& Doubt- HEY were called “The two chil- | dren” because they were 60 un- practical; even mn bohemia, where practicality is the last virture to flourish, their improvi- dence was surprising; but really they were not children at all—they had been married for threa years, though tq watch their billing and cooing you would have supposed them te be bride and bridegroom. Julien and Juliette had been fn love and run to the Mairle as joyously as if chateaubriands were to be guthered from the boughs in the Jardin des Buttes-Chaumont; and since then their home had been the studio under the slates, where they were often penni- less. Indeed, if it had not been for the intermittent mercies of Madame Co- chard, the concierge, they would have starved under the slates. However, they were sure that the pictures which Julian painted would some day make him. celebrated, and that the fairy- tales which Juliette weaved would some day be as famous as Hans Andersen’s. So they laughed, and painted and scribbled, and spent their money on bonbons, instead of saving it for bread; and when they, had no. dinner, they _ would kiss each other, and say “There is a good time coming;” and they were called “The two children,” as you know. But even the patience of Madame Co chard was taxed when Juliette brought back the poodle. She found him—a strayed, muddy, un- nappy little poodle—in the Rue de Ri- yoli one wet afternoon in November, and what more natural than that she should immediately bear him home, and propose to give him a bath, and adopt him? It was the most natural thing in the world, since she was Juliette, yet this Madame Cochard, who objected to a dog on her stairs as violently as if it were a tiger, was furious. ‘Ts it not enough,” she cried, “that _ re.

Re- member the history of the Lodgers, the ’ Concierge and the Pug!”’ “IT have never heard of such a his- tory,”’ returned Mme. Cochard, “and I do not believe that there ever was one.’’ “She has never heard the history of the Lodgers, the Concierge and the Pug!" cried Juliette. “Oh, then listen, madame! Once upon a time there were two lodgers, @ young man and his wife and they were so poor that often they depended on the tenderness of the con- cierge to supply them with a dinner.” “Did they also throw away their good money on bonbons and flowers?’’ asked Mme. Cochard, trying her utmost te look severe. “It is possible,” admitted Juliette, who Was perched on the table, with the dirty little animal in her lap, “for though they are our hero and heroine, I cannot pretend that they were very wise. Well, this concierge, who suf- fered badly from rheumatism and stairs, had sometimes a bit of temper, so you may figure yourself what a fuss she raised when the poor lodgers brought home a friendless pug to add to théir embarrassment. However’—— “There is no ‘however,’” persisted Mme: Cochard; “she raises a fuss, and ' that ts all about it!’’ “Pardon, dear, madame,” put in Ju- lien, “you confuse the cases; we are now concerned with the veracious his- tory of the pug, not the uncertain fu- ture of the poodle.” “Quite so,”’ said Juliette. “She raised a terrible fuss and declared that the pug should go, but finally she melted to it and made it welcome. And then, what do you suppose happened? Why, it turned out to be an enchanted prince, who rewarded them all with wealth and happiness. The young man’s pictures were tmmediately accepted by the Salon —did I mention that he was an artist? he young woman's stories—did I tell "u that she wrote stories?—became so ~juch the fashion that her head swam th joy; and the concierge—the dear, “Rind conclerge—was changed into a beautiful princess, and never had to walk up any stairs again as long as she lived. Thus we see that one should never forbid lodgers to adopt a dog!” “Thus we see that they do well to call you ‘a pair of children,’ ” replied Mme. “Oh, no,” said Juliette; “my parents ie in heaven, madame; but I am mar ried.’’ “Your husband must be in heaven, too,”” said the Countess, who was a charming woman. “Ah,” demurred Juliette, ‘but al- though I have a warm heart, I have also a healthy appetite, and he is not rich: he is an artist.’’ “I must go to see his pictures some day,’’ replied the Countess de Grand Ecusson. “Give me, the address—and —" that I am extremely grateful to you!” It need not be Said that Juliette skipped home on air after this interview The hint of such patronage opened the Sates of paradise to her, and the pros- pect was equally dazzling to Julien. For fully a week they talked of nothing but a visit from the Countesse de Grand Ecusson, having no suspicion that fine ladies often forgot:their pretty promises as quickly as they made them. And the week, and a fortnight, and a month passed, and at last the expec- tation faded; they ceased to indulge their fancies of a carriage-and-pair dashing into the #reet with a Lady Bountiful. And what was much more _ serious Madame Cochard ceased to indulge their follies. The truth was that she had never pardoned ¢he girl for refusing to accept the proffered reward; the del- icacy that prompted the refusal was be- yond her comprehension, and now that the pair were in arrears with their rent again, she put no bridle on her tongue. “It appears to me thaf it would have been more honorable to accept money for a poodle than to owe money to a landlord,” she grunted. “Tt must be perfectly understood that if the sum is not forthcoming on the first of Jan- uary, you will have to get out. I have received my instructions, and I shall obey them. On the first day of Jan- uary, my children, you pay, or you go! Le bon Dieu alone knows what will be- come of you, but that is no affair of mine. I expect you will die like the babes in the wood, for you are no more fit to make a living than a cow is fit to fly.” “Dear Madame Cochard,”’ they an- swered, peacefully, ‘“‘why distress your- self about us? The first of January le more than a week distant; in a week we may sell a picture, or some fairy tales—in a week many things may hap- pen!” And they sunned themselves on the boulevard the same afternoon with as much serenity as if they had been millidnaires. Nevertheless, they did not sell a pic- ture or some fairy tales in the week that followed—and the firet of January. dawned with relentless punctuality, as eT ES a j -t ms ) ce F Qe . ° .

The crime of lese majes. te of the law was attributed -to her be- cause of the filmy character of her gray silk stockings. A short time ago Miss Ida Tarbell voiced the general opinion of the older generation here when she eaid in an interview: ‘Tt suppose if a woman were to go up to any one of the thousand girls that may be seen any fair afternoon, dressed in the present alluring and suggestive fashions, their cheeks and lips painted, | and were to say to such a girl that her, chief ‘object in dressing and adorning herself was to excite the emotions of men, she would profess and often feel the greatest astunishment and indigna- tion.

Today fashionable women would &as8 soon be caught wearing a crinoline of the ’60s as appearing with an under- skirt. The points of emphasis in her outer garments are not such as a spir- itually or mentally developed being would care to emphasize. The whole idea of ultra-fashionable clothes for women seems to be the pressing of the pedal of sex and holding it hard and all the time. Which is bad art, to say nothing of bad morals. To thdse wom- en who care nothing for morals or who refuse to believe that morals and fashions have any relation to each other it seems pertinent to remark that persons who live at Niagara Falls become so accustomed to the roaring waters that they never hear them. And sO men surrounded on every side by suggestive .costumes and painted faces may become sex deaf. With a raging Niagara of femininity all about them they may ceasé altogether to hear the utter it, tonsclously or otherwise, choose to describe it. It has taken 300 years to land on the Pilgrim Fathers for the legacy of hy- pocrisy and prurient silence they im- posed upon us, But we certainly are landing hard. Until about 10 years ago free speech supposedly guaranteed by our form of government was the last thing any American man would have thought of claiming except In a barroofh or at a stag dinner. And the poor Ametican woman was chained conventionally to mincing platitudes and had to go about pretending a 4de- gree of ignorance which cquld be par- doned only in an imbecile. At last, however, our newspaper, here and there a book, and-once in a while a magazime, have been emancipated from ®& moral squeamishness, natural only to prurient old maids and retired roues. But while a few women seem bent upon the emancipation of their minds. theceandés upon thousands geetn to OC concentrating their entire attention on the emancipation of their legs. For one worhen who dares to wear her hair 80 that the Shape of her head shows, there call of the wild, or however they who, | | of geography. the time and place have everything to do with the propriety of a costume; | that a ball gown on the beach would be as immoral as a bathing suit in the ballroom. And this is true. N? time and no place where men and women assemble justify feminine sarments designed solely to emphasize and advertise physical wares. In pur- pose and effect the extremes of the fashions of today are degrading to those who wear them and thgse who see them. If woman in the twentieth century has not advanced to a potnt Where she does not seek sex advertise- ment she might as well get back to the harem. One cannot pick up a woman's magazine without reading that “the trend of fashion continues to be toward the Oriental.” A recent dispatch from Paris told of the appearance of the jupe zouave or double-barreleq skirt—in other words, trousers, Women of course wore trousers originally; but even in China they are discarding them. I believe the Chinese Government in January last decreed that sack coats for men should replace the blouse and that skirts should be worn by women instead of their immemorial pantaloons, It would be a fine bit of irony i women of the West should decide to wear the cast-off trousers of the Ori- ent. The case against trousers so far aS women are concerned is merely that they are hideously unbecoming and less comfortable than skirts. Also that we might as well let man keep the distinguishing ¢haracteristic of his attire, and though he really stole them from woman, he has come to regard his bifurcated estate as the sign and symbol of masculinity, and is surrendering so many of his more important prerogatives with such u S00d grace that it would be a shame to take a fashion we DON‘T WANT away from hfm.

It was Pratt’s habit to hit into double plays when he had opportunities to score runs until re- eently, but he seems to have found his hatting eye. The game was won and lost in the Browns’ half of the opener. Mr. Mack trotted out one Houck, a right-hander who has failed in three starts this sea- son. For a starter, Shotton poled a sin- gle to right. Then Johnston parade‘! Williams tried twice to sacrifice ana then waited for four balls. That packed the bases for Pratt, whose ef- fort was a single to left. _ It shoved over Shotton and Johnston, and when Oldring fum- bled the ball Williams raced to third and Pratt to second. This same biow also caused Houck’s ban- ishment. He was relieved by Wyckoff, anoth- er right-hander, who, like C. Mathewson, hails from Bucknell College. Although never per- forming in a minor league, Wyckoff scored a victory over the Phils in the spring. Had it not been for Mr. Brief, understudy to G. Stovall, Wyckoff would have had a bet- ter chance of winning even after Houck's poor start. But Brief slammed one of Wyck- | off’s shots between Murphy and Walsh for a triple, and scored Williams and Pratt. After Austin lifted to Baker, Wallace sent out a lsacrifice fly to Walsh, and Brief tallied the fifth run of the round. Opposed to Houck and Wyckoff was Carl Wellman, tall left-hander, pense, after the first, and a slight letup in the sixth enabled the Mackmen to shove over a pair of markers on three hits. Should Messrs. O’Loughlin and Ferguson put on a head-balancing act or walk down the foul line and feign a tight-ropé per- formance, be not surprised. For the um- pires are doing peculiar things every day. They contributed their share of the mat- inee Friday.
