STATE JOURN"AXf, "WEDNESDAY EVENTN"Q-. MAT 9, 1894. TRUTH THAT HURTS. Senator Hoar Taunts Democrats About Compromise, And Senator Gray Becomes Quite Angrj. "A LITTLE BLUSTER" Wouldn't Intimidate Him Said Mr. Hoar. Washdtgto:, May 9. -There was promise of an electrical display in the senate when that body met yesterday. The Republicans were active and dis posed to ask some embarrassing1 ques tions concerning the "compromise amendments," offered to the tariff bill SI on J ay. Mr. Quay demanded the presence of a quorum before the jour nal was read. Some routine business intervened. When the tariff bill was laid before the senate Mr. Hoar took tne floor. Toward the close of his speech Mr. Hoar succeeded in raising' the ire of Senator Gray, lie was talking- about the methods used by the so called conservative Democratic senators to secure concessions in the form of higher duties, and concluded his state ment by declaring1 Democratic sena tors who would support the compro mise bill agreed upon by the Demo cratic caucus would violate the con stitution and their oaths. This statement brought Mr. Gray to his feet. He wanted to know what the Massachusetts senator meant by such a charge a charge, he said, which was unworthy of Mr. Hoar. Mr. Hoar waved the Delaware sen ator aside. He would refuse to yield to him, he said. But Mr. Gray was not to be put off. His cheeks were flaming'. He insisted upon an explanation. "Very well," said Mr. Hoar. "I can not be intimidated by a little bluster. But I will explain. I meant to say that for a Democratic senator who subscribed to the doctrine of the Chicago platform, that a tariff for protection was robbery, who went to the people- affirming his allegiance to that platform, and who now comes here seeking and obtaining protection duties 1 mean to say that for such a senator there is no escape from the logic that he violates both his sena torial oath and the constitution." Senator Gray made an effort to re ply, but Mr. Hoar refused to be inter rupted, whereupon Mr. Gray called him to order and asked a ruling upon his point that such language as the Massachusetts senator had, used was unparliamentary. Mr. Gallinger, who was in the chair, overruled the point of order. So Mr. Gray could do nothing then but sit down. In a few minutes Mr. Hoar concluded his speech. Mr. Gray arose. His anger had not subsided. This was the sixth week of the tariff debate, he began. If there was any doubt about the artificial character of the edifice of protection this debate had supplied it. Every attempt to approach the monstrous aggregation of folly and greed known as the Mclvinley bill had been met by those who raised a clamor about the interests of the people and by the greed of corporations. The culmina tion of McKinleyism was character ized in this debate by the wild statements and assertions of the advocates of the system that had wrought so much ruin to the country. They threw aside all restraints of speech and dealt in the rhetoric of the slums. They cast their foul as persions on those who sought to do their duty to their country and their party. To-day in the speech of the senator from Massachuseuts the de corum of debate had been Violated, but the language he had indulged in only showed the straits to which he had been put. Mr. Hoar's temper was seemingly unruffled, when he replied in a few words to what Mr. Gray had said. He said the senator from "Delaware had been too severe in his condemnation of the McKinley law, and he stood here on this floor advocating a measure dotted and crowded all over with pro tection. If protection was unconsti tutional and robbery, this was a wicked thing to do. 'Why did he not tell the senate in extenuation of his course why he had not put a pro tective duty on sugar?" ejaculated Mr. Gray from his seat. "Can the senator not understand the difference between a protective and revenue duty?7 Mr. Hoar insisted an attempt to show that increase in duties were for revenue purposes, and not for pro tection, was simply an evasion. After some remarks of a sharp char acter by Hale, Palmer and Morrill, Mr. Quay resumed his speech. Several times the point of no quorum was made and the roll calls gave Mr. Quay a breathing spell. At 4:45 the senate went into execu tive session and adjourned. House Proceeding. Wibhisotos, May 9. The bill for the erection of a public printing office in Washipgton occupied the greater part of the day and came to a rather ignominious end. A number of amend ments and substitutes were offered to the first section providing for the pur chase of a site, but the only thing which finally came out of the melee was a a resolution of Mr. Holman to refer the question to a commission to consist of the committee on publics buildings and grounds, with instruc tions to select a site on grounds now owned by the government. The naval appropriation bill was called up and briefly explained in some of its parts by Mr. Cummings, but the house adjourned at 5:10, be fore he had concluded his remarks.

CongressmenDon'tWant to Talk About Tariff, First Time They Were EverLoth to Talk. MANY NOT PLEASED. Strong Opposition Anions the House Democrats. Washington, May 9. Leading senators were chary yesterday about expressing themselves upon the sub ject of the revised tariff bill. Senator McPherson would not talk, saying that be had, not read the bill with enough care to justify a statment for publication. Senator Hill did not claim not to have read the bill, but he said he had nothing to say on the subject beyond what he had previously said. Senator Jones believed the bill would pass by Democratic votes and that it will be sent back to the house sooner than most people believed. Senator Smith spoke approvingly of the chances, and expressed approval of the tariff part of the bill. Senator Faulkner contented him self with expressing confidence in the work of the tariff committee and in saying he believed the bill would pass. Senator Cockrell thought the bill, when perfected, would be one of the best tariff bills the country ever had. The Republicans were naturally not so well pleased with it. Senator Dubois characterized it as a '"protec tion bill in spots," and said there was only one of two courses for the Repub licans to pursue, to either let the bill pass after a business-like discussion of its provisions or to stand it off until the 4th of March next. He thought the former the wiser course. Senator Piatt said: "If the Wilson bill was called an abomination, this should be called a bill of shame. If it had not been for the power of the sugar trust it is doubtful in my mind mind if there would have been a single protective duty in the bill." Senators Mills, Berry and Faulkner conferred with house members during the day concerning the tariff situa tion. The feeling of opposition to the amendments was very marked among Democratic members.as they regarded the changes as a step toward protec tion and as a retreat from the lines of the Wilson bill. Mr. Montgomery of Kentucky, a member of the ways and means com mittee, said the amendments looked like a move for the worse all along the line. The amendments impressed him as being in the line of protection. On the Republican side there was much sarcastic comment in the house. Judge Caldwell's Rale Mar Become a Federal Law. Washington, May 9. Representa tive Terry of Arkansas, who with Representatives Boatner and W. A. Stone have been investigating Judge Jenkins' anti-strike injunction, has prepared a bill designed to reform the practice by which federal courts are practically engaging in the railroad business through the appointment of receivers. Mr. Terry's bill will attempt to put a limit to these railroad receiverships, in order to avoid the charge that the courts are going into the railroad business. It is said not only is the time of the federal courts consumed and their functions diverted by this practice, but many incidental abuses have sprung up. One of these is the practice of cutting off all current debts for supplies, repairs, labor, etc, in order that the receivers may pay all the income of the road to the first mortgage bond-holders. The latter usually apply for the appointment of receivers and when they are appointed they cut off all debts save those to the bond holders. Judge Caldwell of the United States circuit bench, has recog nized this abuse and in appointing a receiver for the Santa Fe railroad at tached the condition to his order that the receivers should pay debts due from the railroad for work, labor, materials, machinery, fixtures, and supplies of every kind, including dam ages to persons or property which oc curred after the execution of mort gage under which the receiver was .appointed. Mr. Terry's bill will seek to incorporate Judge Caldwell's ruling into permanent statute laws. Twenty Houses Blown Down. Gainesville, Texas, May 9. One of the most destructive cyclones ever known in the Chickasaw nation has passed over that country. No less than twenty houses were blown down. Among them was one occupied by J. C Humphrey and family of six. The building was completely demol ished and the occupants scattered in all directions. Mrs. Humphrey had her skull crushed and arm broken. Being in a delicate condition it is thoup-ht she will die. Frank, the 10-year-old son, received internal in juries which will probably prove fatal. Other members were slightly bruised. Fences were laid low for miles around and stock suffered. Osage Half Breeds Most Go. Guthrie, Ok., May 9. The Osage council, controlled by full bloods, has declared its intention of cutting over 500 mixed blood Indians off the an nuity rolls and expelling them from the reservation. The half breeds and the adopted members are up in arms. The president has approved the act to protect birds and animals in Yel lowstone park, and to authorize the construction of a bridge across the Niobrara river, near Niobrara, Neb. Let us remind you that now is the time to take De Witt's Sarsaparilla, it will do you good. It recommends itself. J. K. Jones. It cures blood and skin disorders. It "does this quickly and permanently. Is there any good reason why you should not use De Witt's Sarsaparilla? It reco menda itself. J. K. Joue- THE KIOWA LANDS. Saeratary Smith. Decides That the Chlok aaaws and Choctaws Have no Interest. WA8HrjsraTOsr, May 9. Secretary Smith has submitted to the committee on Indian affairs his recommendations on the equity claim covering the Choctaws and Chickasaws in the Kiowa and Comanche lands. The secretary's letter is an elaborate re view of contentions of both parties, setting forth, in full both sides of the controversy. His conclusion is that, so far as the interior department is concerned, it is the opinion that the Choctaws and Chickasaws in I860 ceded every right and title to these lands to the government. This opin ion of the secretary virtually means that when Congress appropriated 83, 000,000 for the Cheyenne and Arapahoe country to the Choctaws it was a clear gift, ft coincides with the opinion of Representative Curtis on the same question. Notwithstanding this view held by the secretary, be does not advise an immediate confirmation of the sale, but suggests that in view of wide difference of opinion on the subject and legal complications which might follow, it would be .better to submit the matter now to the courts for settlement. This is especially advis able, he says, as the Choctaws suc ceeded in convincing one congress that they had just claim to an equity in these lands. The house sub-committee which has the matter in charge is evenly divided. Two of the members agree with the secretary of the interior; two agree that the Choctaws and Chickasaws have a just equity in the land, and one is non-commital. Representatives Ctfrtis of Kansas and Flynn of Oklahoma will make a fight in the house to have the sale confirmed at once, and the lands thrown open. WE'RE BEHIND THE TIMES Says Cong rest man McGinn In Matters Pertaining to Labor. Washington, May 9. Representative McGann, chairman of the labor commit tee, predicts that a turn in the tide of immigration is not far off, and that when it comes, it will offer the solution to the depressed condition of American labor now existing. "The tide of immigration has been steadily toward the United States, until the labor market of Europe is being so drained that the commercial classes are awake to the necessity of keeping their laborers at home. "Furthermore the leading men of Ger many, France and Great Britain place the labor question foremost among the great national questions, while in this country the public man who seeks to ad vance the cause of labor i set down as a demagogue. "Bismarck aud Emperor William are urging reform to ameliorate the condi tion of labor. In France, labor is recog nized by the government to the extent of establishing public bureaus of labor, similar to our intelligence offices where employers can secure men and men can secure work. 'la England they are 25 years ahead of us in lending government assistance to labor. There are two half holidays each week, Wednesday and Saturday afternoon, during which it is ille gal to keep men at work. Pub lic halls are provided for the meet ings of working-men. Public parks are designated, where they may spend their half holidays. Premier liusebery is following Gladstone in aiding toward the better condition of labor. "And while European countries are thus bending every energy toward helping labor, the United States is stand ing stilt We are already far behind our foreign neighbors, and while they are going ahead, we are going back ward. This cannot but be recognized by labor before long, and it will surely re sult in turning the tide of immigration away from the United States." Bold Safe Blowers. Springfield, 111., May 9. At 2 o'clock yesterday morning Stephen O. Coleman, a clerk in Reich St Thomas large Adams street dry goods house, i went into the store to get his over coat on his way home from a ball and surprised two safe-blowers at work on the large safe of the company. They pulled g-uns on Coleman, relieved him of his revolver, diamond stud, gold watch and chain and $50, bound him to a chair and then fieri. The lock on the safe had been blown off, but the contents of the same, about $2,000, were untouched. A Wealthy Man Asphyxiated. St. Joseph. Mo., May 9. The dead body of Caleb Munson was found in the rear of a little stand, a block from the central police station yesterday. He had been asphyxiated and had lain where he was found since Sun- day. Munson came here from Illinois four years ago withxjver $1,000,000 to j his credit. He had trouble with his family and took to drink. His fortune rapidly left him and for the past few months he has had to be taken care of by his friends. j Breckinridge Will Sot Withdraw. -Lexingtou, Ky., May 9. Colonel Breckinridge and his friends denounce as false the statement sent out from here to the effect that a committee of his friends would wait upon and re quest him to withdraw from the race. Such a report has not been in circula tion here and several Owens men when approached declared they had heard nothing of it. t Heavy Punishment Inflicted. El Dorado, Kan., May 9.

Beardsley, of this city, will have to serve thirty-five months in the city prison and pay $3,500 fine for violating the prohibitory liquor law. Diifomed Taylor's Case. .Washington, May 9.

In the yards of the Chicago, .Burlington Quincy company nt Aurora, a number of locomotives are now being provided with apparatus for burning oil. It is said that it will take but a snort time to. equip every engine belonging to the company with the ap paratus. The Burlington management intends to make the first trial trip to the Mis Biasippi with oil as fuel within a short time. If the run on the roai proves as success ful as the experiments in the yard have proved, all the locomotives in the com pany's service will be sent to the shops to be supplied with burners." Superintendent F. C. Rice, of the com pany, is enthusiastic over the prospects of being able to do away with coal. It is much cleaner and its use will leave locomotives in much better condition than coal; it will last much longer, weigh less and occupy less space, and hence will give much more room for water, an important consideration.

People Who Fed First Band of Commoriwealers, Not Anxious to Provision Any More Armies. TAKES L.OTS OF FOOD To Feed an Army Says a South ern Member. Washington. May 9. Special. All the parka are gorgeous in their sura mer beauttes,'and all. the peoplo have been vaccinated. The smallpox scare is over, the cholera scare has nob revived, and if Coxcy's army, and their kindred hobos do not start a pestilence we may be happy yet. All ladies are in their summer rigs, and all the society men testify that lawn parties, Ice cream festivals and evening walks and ridc3 were never better patron ized. Even from the remote provinces comes news of a rather encouraging nature, for the reports run that tho various detach ments of so called industrials are finding it very hard to got nny nearer to Washing ton. Tho people who fed tho first detach ment and bade it godspeed look upon the second 0110 113 a nuisance. It is interest ing also to note that the few congressmen who served in tho commissary department during tho war take a very different view of the proper remedy from those held by their colleagues. DiJUccJ'tles of a March. A southern member, speaking to a group on this subject, said: "Peoplo without ex perience have very littlo idea of the enor mous difficulty of supplying 1,000 men in a march across the country, and really I was glad to hear that Kelly's army ex ceeded that number, for I knew they vould never reach here. Start 2, 0OO men from Council Blufi's straight toward this city through the farming regions without a commissary and with the most peaceful intentions-in tho world, destroying noth ing in mere malice, and they will devas tate a strip tw.o or three miles wide, and unless under tho very strictest discipline they will completely befoul any small area in which they caiiip three d.'iys. And that is just what even these 300 or 400 of Cox ey's men would do if they should remain in their first camp a fortnight. Why, a regiment of raw soldiers not under a good commander will render a camp of two or three acres unfit for visiting in a week and would make a mere city lot too noi some to abide in." His remarks were but too well verified soon after Coxey's men were located, but the pluco which was giv en to them was already tho vilest in the District of Columbia. A Reversal of Folicy. In the meanwhile congress is shoving business alon vrivh quite an increase of speed, and r.s tho various committees of tho house wind lip their most pressing business many things are made certain, mostly in tho negative. It is, first of all, certain, so those inor.t interested say, that there will be no new states admitted by this congress; also that tho Nicaragua canal bill will not become a law, for the house committee is very ?nuch opposed to it. The chairman in particular believes that the time ha.-? come to completely re verse the machine, and tliatall forms of what he calls paternalism should be op posed for the present and some years to come. In short, this committee will have no land grants, no money subsidies, no in dorsing of bonds or lending the govern ment's credit for tho Nicaragua canal or anything else of that class. As to the bill prepared by Attorney General Olney for consolidating the. -ifi'airs of the Pacific rail way, tho committee declares after each hearing that the time before anything car: be done must be greatly extended. The attorney for the Central Pacific has pre sented a. batch of facts and figures which a novice in the business could not hope to understand in l?ss than a 'month and promises that after consultation with the officials of the road ho will present a plan. The committee on patents is wrestling with a bill introduced by Amos Cum mings which is by title an act to amend title GO, chapter 3, of the Revised Statutes. It provides that any person publicly per forming or representing any copyrighted operatic or dramatic composition without the consent of the proprietor shall be fined" not less than $100 for the first representa- I tion nor less than $50 for each subsequent representation and shall bo guilty of a misdemeanor besides. So far tho measure seems searching enough, but the moat of it is in what follows. The proprietor may get out an injunction Ixifore the federal court anywhere, and that may be served anywhere in the United States. The bill is favored by the dramatic association of New York, which is to have a hearing, be fore the committee. Military Matter. The veterinarians of the United States army have joined in a request that they may have and enjoy the same rank as sec ond lieutenants of cavalry, and Mr. Pick ler of South Dakota introduced a bill to gratify their ambition, but the subcom mittee of the'eommitteeon military affairs has reported against it, and its fate, there fore, is probably sealed One object of this bill and probably tho only object of its companion bill is to give a military stand ing to men who need it for other purposes than tho pay. The second bill authorizes tho secretary of war to issue a commission to any contract doctor or hired surgeon who served three months during tho war in attendance upon United States troops. Every old soldier will ovmember that in emergencies physicians were called from civil life and followed their profession among the troops just as if employed by private citizens. At the beginning of tho war t his was very common, and thousands probably of young doctors served in hos pital or elsewhere. These men now want a rank that will enable them to join tho Loyal Legion, the Grand Army or other organizations and generally enjoy the rights and privileges of veterans. The secretary of war is therefore empowered to muster them in and out again with the rank their service would entitle them to, but they are to get no extra pay and gain no rights otherwise. Tliis bill will proba bly pass. Encouraged Democrat. Whatever may be the cause, it is certain that there has recently been a. general brightening up along the linds with the majority party, and Democratic congress men who only three weeks ago were de claring that the whole thing was gone, hook, line and sinker, now talk confident ly of holding the next house by a good working majority. Some even go so far a to declare that the tariff bill will be come a law by the 20th; that they will be at home two weeks later; that business will revive with the biggest boom since 1879, and that everything Democratic will be transcendently lovely, but these aro few and all of the redheaded and brightly blue eyed species. INDIGNITY TO AMERICANS. Canadian Revenue Cotter Seizes Two American Fishins Vessels. Sandusky, Ohio, May 9. Today off Pelee island the Canadian revenue cut ter Petrel, Ctptain Dunn commander, captured two American vessels, the Visi tor and LeRoy Brooks, and forty gentle men from Cincinnati, Dayton, Spring field and Decatur, 111., who were fishing, for black bass. The vessels were dismantled, placed in charge of an armed crew and towed to Amherstburg, Canada. The gentle men were afterwards released. Great excitement and bitter feeling is felt on the islands for the insult, against the Canadian officials. e vs at Washington. No complaint has been received by the state department relative to the cap ture by the Canadians, of two American steamers, crews and passengers, who were fishing in Lake Erie. It is assumed that the parties were fishing on the Canadian side of the boundary line, where they had no right to be, as these waters are under Canadian jurisdiction, according to the treaty of Ghent. So while it seems that the arrest of. hook and line sportsmen smacks of per secution probably to recover informers fines, there does not appear to be ground for a protest, unless, as is thought not probable, the arrests are made more than three miles from shore. HISTORY REPEATS ITSELF The First Ward, Too, Is Not Ex actly Sa.ti.fied. The Morrill caucus held in the First ward last night does not seem to be sat isfactory to the voters of the ward, and even some of the men whose names ap pear on the delegation selected by the caucus are objecting to the ticket. The dissatisfaction has grown to such an extent that a call has been issued for a caucus of the Republicans of the ward to be held at the fire station tomorrow night. This caucus will be in the interest of an uniustructed delegation and it is ex pected that a ticket will be nominated which will be more satisfactory to the voters of the ward.

It- is as follows: Chief of Police and Guardian of Civic Rights: I warn you against Mrs. Mary Lease, whose teachings are dangerous to the president's and the Nazarene's ascending of hhvthrone of glory, and righteousness in the Lamb. You must send your offi cers to take her, for she shall not escape ,,me. You must keep her until I come. You will not know me or see me, for the Nazarene is like the dew that falls upon the plants and flowers. I had a vision which told me that the red cross and blood on his breast must be obeyed. I have a duty to perform and I must kill her on May 20. She cannot escape me. You are to help me, and I will send money for the flowers and oil. The Nazarene had oil poured on his feet, The eyes of human kind converse as much, as their tongues, with the ad vantage the ocular vision needs no dic tionary. Her eyes say one thing and her tongue another. I know her terrible in tentions. President Cleveland is a good man, and if Prendergast is murdered he will be an angel. You will not know me when I come and stand, by her coffin and see that you do your duty." The flowers must be white and'ybur duty. On May 20 I will be with her. I have prayed to the Nazarene and the vision shows me what to do. You are my friend and I will trust you. I will not shed her blood for she was born a Catholic. Her tongue does not apeak the truth about the cross. On May 20. Facile Pkinceps. BLAMES KANSAS WITH COXEYISM. Congressman Hall of Iowa, Snows His Ig norance in a Letter. Abilene, May if.

Congress ia saying to Coxey, Get off the grass," but it means "Get ofl the earth." The jury in the Coxey case undoubt edly thought that tramping on the grass was a hay-nous offense. Kelly's fleet will be the first introduc tion many Iowa people have had to "Ships that pass in the night." There ia no good reason why Mrs. Lease shouldn't be sent to the bouse of representatives when so many old grannies have been sent to the senate. Scpt. Hitchcock was endorsed by the State board of charities notwithstanding the fact that twenty-seven out of the forty-nine charges against him were sus tained. Since the senate finance committee has found 400 mistakes in it? own bill that body will become a formidable rival of the executive branch for the prize for stupidity. If Baby Ruth really is a deaf mute, as reported, it is to be hoped that the mis fortune will not accentuate any long winded tendency in writing that she may have inherited from her father. Thousands of Washington people walked on the grass and threshed around through the shrubbery and were not ar rested, but doubtless that is one of the peculiar privileges of residents. Kew York, city is just now making a big fuss over the elephant Tip which has eight murders to its credit.. The occurrence is far from new hundreds of men have been destroyed by tips. The senate Democrats only made 400 Changes in the tariff bill all in sectional interests. Even at a paltry thousand dollars a change (hat would make quite a neat little sum for each of them. Mrs Lease ought to stand a good show for the nomination in the Seventh dis trict, she has the advantage of a clear record for no one can accuse tier of hav ing ever done anything unmanly. Boas Cboeer doesn't want to resign but simply desires to be relieved of work. The Democratic administration ought to be able to arrange it for him as it has done the latter for so many others. If Coxey and Browne committed a crime when they walked on the grass, what punishment would have been great enough for them in the eyes of the sen ate if they had tramped on sugar cane? When the whole list of Populist officials shall have been gone through, it is doubt ful if many will be found that have not exceeded in corruption and incapac ity anything that has ever been heard of before in the state. A newspaper man in San Francisco had his life saved by the bu.let which was shot at him hitting a silver dollar. It was probably a newspaper man also who shot and the dollar seemed so big he coutda't hit anything else. Tom Reed suggests that "back stairs" influence has been at work among the senators. A little more back stairs in fluence in the way of tumbling down them on account of a kick administered by the people is what the senate needs. Blvb Grass Blade (Lexington, Ky.): If Breckinridge were so humbled by the degradation to which he has brought himself, and by the disgrace he has brought upon his county, that he would modestly and contritely Beek the retire ment of private life, and show a disposi tion in that capacity to make amends for the ruin he has wrought, it would be quite another matter, but, fresh from the conviction of the lowest and most brutal and heartless uncleannecs and un faith-' fulness to a pure and loving wife, and with the echo of lie after lie scarce dying from his polluted lips, he comes and asks the people of this county to ratify and indorse all of this by sending him back to congress." HITCHCOCK 2Z OT CLEARED. Superintendent Hitchcock of the State Reform school has been pronounc ed innocent by the state board of chari ties, of the charges preferred against him, but not so by public opinion. From the evidence given at the investigation and by his own admission, Superinten dent Hitchcock is proven to be wholly unfit for the position he occupies. If as is believed by many, he was giv en this thin coating of white wash that he might resign without being removed the public will not object seriously. It is a matter for the board to settle with their conscience and their party. What the public demands is that this impor tant institution shall be purged of a man proven so wholly unfitted for its manage ment. Had Superintendent Hitchcock lived in the south before the war he might have commanded a high salary as an overseer of black men, and even now he might be useful in the mines of Sibe ria, but his methods should have no place among the free and enlightened people of Kansas. What a cry of indignation would go up in any community if it were known to have a man in its midst who beat his children on their bare backs with a rub ber hose! Shall a man be permitted then to do this to the children of 'the state? Such things would scarcely be tolerated in the penitentiary, why then in a re formatory Perhaps the public is wrong in its conception of what a reform school is for, but it has been under the impres sion that it was for the purpose of taking bad boya and moulding them into good boys, who would go out into the world and become useful citizens. If this is not the purpose of the school, it might as well be abandoned and the boys be sent to the penitentiary at once. The object of the school is scarcely less likely to be attained under the Hitchcock system of discipline. People are not reformed that way and a man who is incapable of more civilized methods should not be tolerated at the head of such an institution a single day. Mr. Hitchcock should reform him self or step down and out, willingly or unwillingly. The state administration cannot afford to ignore this fact. As soon as the legs of General Kelly and his men gave out their popularity began to wane. The spectacle of their march to Washington over rough roads and under beating rain storms was a sight that filled the country with admira tion of their courage if not of their mo tives. There was something romantic and inspiring in the thought of 1,500 men going on foot all the way from the Missouri river to the nation's capital as a matter of principle. It made one think of the crusaders or of the little band who sang the Marseillaise .along the roads from Marseilles to Paris. If these men were willing to undergo such hardships because they thought they were right, the country was willing to waive the question and furnish the pork, bread and coffee to sustain their frames while tiiey plodded on. But when they began to show signs of weakening, when they ex hibited the melancholy fact that they were not the stuff that martyrs are made of and wanted to ride all the way and walk not at all, not even for exer cise; when the march of the invincibles threatened to dwindle into a mere rail road excursion, the country lost faith in Mr. Kelly's army. While they were marching with bright eyes and heads up lifted cheering for non-interest bearing bonds (or whatever they were cheering for) they were an imposing sight, but now that they have fallen from their high ambition and refuse to get out of Des Moines unless they are carried out, the public breathes a sigh of disappoint ment and turns eagerly to some fresh humbug. It is a noteworthy fact that Rev. W. G. Todd, the clergyman who did the praying for the Populist house during the legis lative war, is almost the only man who has been appointed to office under the present ad ministration who has had sense and abil ity enough to manage his business with out dragging the institution over which he presides into disrepute. Rev. Mr. Todd is superintendent of the state blind asylum, and as far as can be learned he is making a most exemplary officer. Of course the state board of charities will go out of their way to avoid putting as good a man in charge of the reform school or the Topeka insane asylum. Mr. Todd is one member of his party who seemingly lives up to his profession in declaring that the Populist party is founded on the "Fatherhood of God and the Brotherhood of Man." Besides he possesses common sense which is a great rarity in his party. Mr. Wait of the board of charities doesn't want to be hurried in the investi gating business. Taking his view of it, one can hardly blame him. 1 he proba bility of developing more mismanage ment in the asylum just after the Reform school outrages have been brought to light is far from a pleasing prospect to Populists with a campaign at hand. The prosecution in the trial of Browne and Coxey, with all those who have been forwarding it, has been so farcical and so ridiculously puerile as to make the simplicity of the misguided Coxey stand out like a solid mountain of common sense In comparison.

NEWSPAPERS AND NEWSPAPER MEN OF THE WESTERN METROPOLIS. John Calhoun Started the First Journal There Storey and The Times Med ill and The Tribune The News-Record. The Inter Ocean sod The Herald. The first newspaper ever published in Chicago was The Weekly Democrat. It was established 40 years ago by a young man named John Calhoun, who had been a printer on The Eagle at Watertown, N. Y. Having concluded that the eaat was too slow for him, he started west one September morning with a complete outfit for the publication of a -weekly JOSEPH MEDILL. paper. It took hirn about four weeks to get from Watertown to Chicago, and when he got there he found the popula tion of the place to be not more than 800 souls. There was no finished build ing in the entire village in which he could rent space for publication, press and editorial room, so he fell to and with his own hands helped to lath a room in a not yet completed structure: The day the first issue of hia paper was printed was one of great excitement in the little hamlet by the lake shore, and the sheets that were then thrown off from the hand press were regarded by the inhabitants as evidence's of a distinct ly forward step in the history of the set tlement. It is probably not necessary to say that among the articles in that first number was one predicting that Chicago would one day be larger that New York. Shortly afterward Mr. Calhoun was elected a justice of the peace and in time became chief justice of the supreme court of the state of Illinois. How long he remained in the newspaper business I do not know, and if The Democrat which he started be still in existence it is in a form so obscure as to attract no attention and to be utterly unknown to the great world. It would be interesting to trace from this humble journalistic beginning the history of that marvelous thing, the press of Chicago. It would be a chron icle filled with thrilling incidents and detailing the deeds of men of extraordi nary force. Perhaps the most extraordi nary of them all would be Wilbur F. Storey, the shrewdVermont Yankee who, after learning the printer's trade in the shadows of the Green mountains, drifted west, located first in South Bend, Ind., and afterward published the Detroit Free Press for some years before going to Chi cago. There he succeeded in making I The Times the greatest newspaper of j the west if not of the world. There he virtually introduced the "special dis patch" as well as many other, of the most important features that differen tiate the journalism of today from that of the fathers. When he was in his prime, he once said to a subordinate that he did not wish his newspaper to live after him; he desired the world to un- derstand that he was the newspaper, and that without the guidance of his genius it could not be perpetuated. Later, after his brain had been partially overwhelm- ed by the lethal wave that finally quite submerged it, he changed his mind and planned to leave the property in the hands of a board of managers who should pay its profits up to a certain point to his relative and after that to designat ed charities in the city of his adoption. This plan was never carried out, and VICTOR F. LAWSON. the paper, though still a journalistic entity (it belongs to the estate of Carter H. Harrison), has dropped out of the first rank of Chicago newspapers. Of the men who still guide the jour nals of Chicago, but one of the old school its left. Joseph Medill, the editor and 1 chief proprietor of The Tribune, was a I member of the general class which in cluded Thurlow Weed, Horace Greeley, James Gordon Bennett, Henry J. Ray mond, George D. Prentice, Charles A. Dana and Wilbur F. Storey. Mr. Medill is now 71 and for several years has liv ed most of the time in southern Califor nia. But notwithstanding the fact that his form is no longer seen and his voice no longer heard in the office of his news paper he still directs its policy and writes many of its editorials, some of which he sends by telegraph. When he took The Tribune in 1855, after having virtually started the Cleveland Leader, it was not a success. m: Wot? It become one shortly thereafter. Mr. Medill was the virtual discoverer of Abraham Lincoln. His first vote was cast for Clay. He was in at the birth of the Republican party. He was mayor of Chicago just after the great fire, and it was during his term and his subsequent brief sojourn in Europe that The Trib une received its only setback. Mr. Hor ace White, then being the editor, caused the paper to support Greeley. When Mr. Medill returned to the editorial chair, he swung the paper again into line with his party, and its progress since has been steady and continuous. The Tribune's chief competitor for the favor of the Republican party in Chicago is The Inter Ocean, which was started in 1872 by John Young Scannon, who bought the franchise, practically all that was left after the big fire, of the Chicago Republican, that had been Charles A. Dana's paper. Scannon had to abandon the enterprise not long after its establishment, but it was taken up by The Inter Ocean Publishing com pany. Elijah Halford, known to the World as President Harrison's private secretary, was the first managing editor, William Penn Nixon the first business manager. F. W. Palmer, afterward public printer; Gilbert Pierce, later United States minister to Spain, and Melville E. Stone were among those who began with The Inter Ocean. It re ceived great impetus when The Tribune decided to support Greeley in 1872. Its present publisher, Herman H. Kohlsaat, began life as a cash boy at $3 a week, but he wanted to go to work in a news paper office and got a place as office boy with The Tribune. His mother objected. He predicted that some time he would himself own a newspaper and is busy now verifying that prophecy. Before he bought into The Inter Ocean, how ever, he made much money as a sales man and some fame as the inventor of a new style of lunchroom. He is a man of great energy and keen journalistic sense. Next in order of age comes The News, which was born in 1875. Melville E. Stone and William Dougherty believed that Chicago was a good place for a 1 cent newspaper. They succeeded in per suading Percy Meggy, who had some money, that they were right. There were no 1 cent pieces circulating in Chicago at that time, and the early days of the life of The News were not days of plen ty. Dougherty was the first to get out. Meggy paid him $55 for one-third inter est. Then Meggy, after sinking $13, 000, abandoned the enterprise, Then Stone, who had no money, but lots of faith in HERMAN KOHLSAAT. the scheme, succeeded in interesting Victor F. Lawson. Lawson was a na tive of Chicago, whose father had left him some property, including The Skan dinaven, a Swedish-Norwegian news paper. He put up the money needed and agreed to pay Stone a regular salary as managing editor. After a time Stone got one-third interest in the paper back, but a few years ago sold out again to Mr. Lawson, who has since been sole owner of the paper. A peculiarity of The News was its four editions daily one in the morning, one at 12 o'clock noon, one at 3 p. m. and one at 5 p. m. Two or three years ago it was decided to separate the morning and afternoon editions, and to the morning paper was given the name of The Record, with a separate management and separate plant. Mr. Lawson is but little over 40 years of age. He still devotes all his time to the direction of his two newspapers and stands in high regard in the business and social world as well as in journal istic circles. It is in the columns of The News that Eugene Field has printed most of his late work. It was in 1881 that the Chicago Her ald was established by a number of bright, enthusiastic young men from the offices of the older papers. Like many another journalistic enterprise, The Her ald saw some days of uncertainty, but in 1882, when the energy of James W. Scott and the money of J. R. Walsh, the owner of the Western News compa ny, were added to the resources of the j paper, a period of phenomenal growth j and prosperity, began. No backward j steps have since been taken by the pa- per, which now adorns a shining place in the front rank of American journals. Anong the charms of the Chicago i Herald have been its clean, beautiful typography and the pure white paper stock upon which it is printed. Much of the success of the paper has been due to H, W. Seymour, the managing editor, whose assistants have always been men of ability and energy. Walter Wellman, who has gone north to look for the pole, was for some years connected with The Herald and originated many of the fea tures which gave it individuality in the early days. The Evening Post is, in a way, an afternoon edition of The Herald, being owned by the same stockholders, although printed from a different plant and conducted by a separate staff. The Chicago Journal, published every afternoon, is still conducted somewhat upon the old school plan, but it doubt less pleases its constituency quite as well as the newer journals do theirs. So much space is required even briefly to mention the giants of the Chicago press that none is left to devote to the lesser lights or the periodicals, of which there are many and printed in many lan guages. L IX Jif 4TtSHT.T HE HAD LOST TWO. The Beetle Browed Man Knew What He Was Talking About. Among the people waiting in the de pot at the foot of Brush street two or three evenings since was a citizen who expected his wife on an incoming train. He didn't tell anybody that he expected her, but his looks and actions gave him away. He skated up and down to see if the train was on time. Then he rushed out and engaged a hack. Then he prom enade around and wiped his brow, and he was impatiently watching the clock when a sawed off, beetle browed man, who was evidently yearning to dash somebody's bright hopes to earth, slid tip to him and queried: "Expectin some one, eh?" "Yes, sir." "Not your mother-in-law?" 1 "No, sir." "Wife, probably?" "Yes." "Bin away long?! "Over two weeks. "Comin on this train?" "Yes." "Waal, I dunno, continued the man as he rubbed his back against the ticket window shelf. "I wouldn't be too en thusiastic about it. Wimmen are mighty onsartin. I've had two of 'em run away from me. Is your wife any hand to make acquaintances while traveling?" "No, sir." "Couldn't be induced to elope?" "Sir! Do you intend to insult me?" "Gosh, no! I wouldn't insult nobody nor nothing. Could your wife be carried away by good looks and lots of money?" "If you wasn't an old man, I'd thump you for your impudence!" exclaimed the husband as he grew red all over.. "You would! Waal, I won't talk to you. If your wife comes in on the train, all right. If she doesn't come, you needn't blame me." He went into the sitting room, and the train presently came in. The hus band dodged about as if he was walking on glass, and the passengers came out one by one until the coaches' were empty. There was no wife. It was 10 minutes before the husband could give up, and when he did and started out doors the old man lounged out and said: "I told him so. I've lost two wim men just that way, and I knew what I was talking about. Detroit Free Press. Small. The young man from the city had been fishing. He hadn't had much luck, but it was more than he was used to, and he looked very jubilant as he strode into the farmhouse kitchen with his catch. "What'je git?" asked his host. "Oh, nothing much. Just a few cat fish. "Mean them?" the farmer inquired, pointing with his pipe stem. "Certainly. They're not very large. But there's no doubt about their beina catfish."

The reader of the daily paper who sits in his cosy home and is informed of what is transpiring in every quarter of the globe, seldom realizes the amount of actual labor necessary to ascertain, collect write, transmit and print this wonderful mass of news. Mr. William Henry Smith, formerly manager of the Associ&ted Press, is in the prime of life, and possesses a mind clear as to the requirements of the public. Mr. Smith has always been an "arduous work er, and it is by no means surprising that his health 6hould, in the past, have suff ered more or less, thereby. The mental strain necessary to the performance of his duties cause! difficulties of digestion which are not easily overcome, and also a uremic colic, both painful and exhausting:. All attempts vo overcome these tenden cies by force of will power failed, and he consulted eminent physicians, amon them Dr. P.arthol, of Philadelphia, lu spite, however, of the care and skill of these practitioners, he grew worse con stantly. The result can best be described in his own words. He said: "My brother, C. W. Smith, manager of the Chesapeake Ohio Railroad, came to via ft me, and, seeing my condition, took Upon himself to conduct my case, and &o secured a preparation which, I sincj learned he had used successfully himself and in his family. I began its use, and commenced improving at once. This improvement continued, until now I am well, and wholly through the influ ence of Warner's Safe Cure. I have since then used the remedy with good results in my family, and keep it on hand constantly. I consider it a remark able medicine." Mr. George Alfred Townsend, the famous newspaper correspondent, whose letter.-, written over ihe nom de plume of Gath," have attracted sucli wide atten tion, said to the writer: "While in Eng land, I had a pleasant visit with ex-Gov. S. B. Packard, our Consul at Liverpool. We were remarking on the death of a number of distinguished Americans, when the Governor said: 'Townsend, I can't see why so many of our public men are passinsr away, victims of one dread scourge. There is no need of their dying if they will consent to avail themselves of what has been provided for them, as I have.' Gov. Packard went on to des cribe his experience, ami I found his symptoms corresponded almost exactly to my own. I soon afterward returned to America, began the tame treatment, and when 1 had taken a number of bottles of Warner's Sale Cure the remedy Gov. Packard used and commended to me so strongly I, too, Was rid of backache, bad fluids, tired feelings, nervous pros tration, irregular appetite, thick head,' and today am as sound as a nut. It indi cated my disorder and removed it entire ly. I regarded it as a godsend to this country, where Bright's disease and all other kidney disorders are so prevalent." The above statements are not from ob scure sources, but from gentlemen in the most exalted stations of trust and respon sibility, and the affirmations they make are the results of actual observation. Does it not stand to reason, therefore, that the article of which they speak is a most valuable one, and such as may be used with great benefit by all who are suffering?

Proposition Considered by tne Fo lice Authorities TO LICENSE DISORDERLY WOMEN. The Women y the Sew Bale is to rO Into force Jlmy 14th Police Com missioners Claim to &nir Xothins or It. In spite of emphatic denials on the part of the police, it is reported on good authority that the police revenue of the city is about to be materially increased by a system of fines levied each month on tix wornen-about-town who comprise the lower world of Topeka. It is pro posed to "run Topeka like other towns," by thi3 system of "fines" which while not a license, can easily be made the equivalent of it. One of the women who would come under the provisions of such a police regulation said: '-Captain Gish called here a few days ago and told us that all the girls of our class were to be fined $5 every month. We didn't have any money and he said we could have until the 14th to pay it in. If we don't put up by that time he said he would order the house pulled and we would all be fined $25. Gish said the $5 fine would entitle us to police protection and that we wouldn't be molested as long as we kept a quiet, orderly place. He advised us to get five or six in jre girls and get a better loca tion and we intend to do so." A member of the police force who keeps his eyes open and knows all that is going on, was asked by a Journal re porter regarding the truth of the woman's assertion. At first the officer professed ignorance and declined to talk, but finally he said: 'It is true, every word of it. Captain Gish gave Officer Campbell and several other officers on whose beats there are disorderly houses, instructions to tell the girls that they would be fined $5 every month, and in return they are not to be molested unless they get disorderly. Gish hasn't said anything to me about it but I have heard it talked about for several days. I think an effort is being made to keep it quiet. .Police Judge i.nsminger was asked about the truth of the story. Ha said, "I have heard rumors to this eifect for several days but officially I don't know a thing about it." i. he .fact is not denied that the board of police commissioners have had this and other methods of remedying the social evil, but the commission ers deny that the plan outlined here was agreed upon and say if Gish has done what it is claimed he did, has acted without their author ity. Chairman A. B. W hitmg said today: "What to do with this particular ele ment is a grave question, and it has baf fled the best police boards in the coun try. At the board meetings for several weeks we have been giving it a great deal of attention, but nothing of the sort you speak of has been decided upon. On the contrary it is our wish to restrict the evil as far as possible." Oscar Krauss, the Democratic member of the board, says: "If Captain Gish has done what these people claim he has, he has done so on his own authority and not on ours. 1 think myself, however, that it would be much better for the morals and health of the young men if this evil was regulated in such .a way that it could be collected. There is no benefit in inflicting heavy fines on these women. It only impoverishes them and turns them out from their houses onto the streets. The city council has been after us because our expenses are so heavy and our receipts are so light. We feel that we have got to do something pretty soon, but it would be unwise to try to license those people because pub lic sentiment isn't that way. Since we got prohibition here, the peopl want everything prohibited." Captain Peter Gish him? Mf was asked about the assertions which have been made against him. He sp "If I were one of the police commis: ers I would throw the throttle wic open, but so far as I know the board -isn't done any thing of the sort" He denied that any "license" was being exacted of the women either as fines or blackmail pur poses. 'Do you deny calling on any of the women and saying that $o a month would guarantee them from police in terference?" the reporter asked. "I had no authority to do that," re plied Gish, and that was as near as he came to answering this direct question. WILLITS FIXING THINGS. lie Baa Been to Leavenworth Doing: Auti-Lewelling Work. John F Willits has returned from his Iowa trip and is now at work organizing the anti-administration forces against Lewelling. Willits has lately been working in Leavenworth county and he is said to have fixed things in such a manner that a solid anti-Lewelling delegation will be sent from that county to the state con vention. It is understood that Lewelling's friends in Leavenworth county who seem to be confined tottie penitentiary officials and the police force, will be unable to do anything to counteract the anti-administration sentiment. Warden Dick Chase and Directors Hollenbeck and Butler were in Topeka yesterday and held a conference with Lewelling. The ladies of the First M.

BY THEIR OWN FRIENDS. The Board of Charities Condemned by 13 r. McLalll in the "Advocate." The Topeka Advocate of this week, speaking of the exoneration of Superin tendent Hitchcock of the Reform school bv the state board of charities, says: For this the board has laid itself liable to as severe criticism as seems to have been justly heaped upon the superin tendent. The Advocate then gives twenty-seven facts, which Noah Allen says were prov en by the testimony of the witnesses, among which are the following: (1) Not a single rule written or printed governing the officers, employes and in mates. (2) No semblance oT any system, no standard to work to, either in man agement or education of the boys. (6) Negligence in permitting smoke-house to burn, destroying between $300 and $400 worth of meat. (9) Quarreling with the .matron, his wife, in the presence of the other officers and employes. (10) Ig noring his assistant, John Hinchcliff, placed there by the board. (21) Whip ping a boy on bare back with rubber hose. (22) Whipping a boy while in stooping posture, covered with a thin shirt only, thirty lashes with a hose. (23) Whipping a boy fifty lashes with a raw hide. (24) Numerous whippings of the same bov with rubber hose. (23) Com mitting a boy, Denman, to the dungeon or strong room, feeding him bread and water only, releasing hira while the board were in session at the school one day and returning to the dungeon as soon as the board had departed. (27) Send ing another boy to the dungeon to be fed on bread and water and whipping while in there across the back while stretched on the bed. This is the Populist view of the recent investigation in which the board of char ities cleared Hitchcock. HIS HICCOUGHS GOT WELL. George Morgen'i Life Saved by the Salva tion Army and Dr. Wallace.

Beduction of Time Made at tne Santa Fa Shops. THREE SH0P3 ARE 1FFECTED. Speculation) as to Why the Redaction Is Made The Men Think It Is to Give Work, to former Employes W ho Struck. At the Santa Fe machine shops this morning a notice was posted to the effect that the employes of the shops will work only eight hours a day for rive days in the week and not at all on Saturdays. This order goes into effect tomorrow morning, and does not affect any of the departments outside of the machine, boiler and car shops. This shortens the week to forty hours and lessens the income of the employes to less than $7 a week. This is the sec ond reduction of time the shop men have Buffered within less than a week. "But what are we to do?" said one of them this morning. "We will have to stand it. There is nothing else left for us to do unless we join Coxey and starve to death. I am not surprised, however. The road hasn't a great deal of money to do business on, and somebody must suffer. I had rather work shorter hours than to be laid on entirely or ,have some other man laid off who has a family to support." "It is hard," said another, "but not al together unexpected, so far as I was able to judge. You see the road has found that it must take back those 125 men laid off at the time of the strike last year and consequently we get shorter time to give them work. And I would not be urpnsed if some of us got laid off alto gether pretty soon. .Of course there'll be no trouble. we can t airora to quarrel with our half loaf, can we? You can't get work for the asking today and we must keep what we ve got. X would net be surprised, though, if some of these men tried to find work elsewhere with more hours and more pay."

KOBINSUX'S RAILROAD. He Tells How the Mexican Central is Getting- Along. At the recent meeting of the stock holders of the Mexican Central railway at Boston, A. A. Robinson of this city was re-elected a director. Mr. Robinson is also president of the road, and as such presided at the meeting. In his address to the stockholders Mr. Robinson made some very interesting statements. In reviewing the road's business of the past and its prospective future, he held the view that the outlook for the coming year was favorable, de spite the fact of the decline in the price of silver, and the serious falling off in business in the republic of Mexico as well as in the United States. There was, however, a very excellent increase in the local earnings of the railway, and with the appreciation of sugar the rail way would be upon a sound footing and able to compete with any corporation in the world. The number of contracts was growing larger, their increase placing the rail way upon a firm basis, with the outlook that before lo.ig, whatever the price of sugar, it will be able to compete with the lines of the world. Cotton, iron and cop per they had always with them. They had been able to operate their road for about 53 per cent of the gross earn ings, which would compare favora bly with the operating expenses of any similar railway. GENERAL RAILROAD NOTES.

MX MOOTER OAMBLS CO GUTOv THE RATIONAL DRESS CLUB. Womi of Denver Who Propose to Wear Comfortable Attire Their Pledge. The male population of Denver is just now in a state of daily expectation of an event which is to revolutionize soci ety, in appearance at least. For some time the men have had a sus picion that the women had concealed somewhere about them that unknown quantity, a divided skirt, in spite of the fact that their skirts still flow about them as gracefully and innocently as though dress reform had never been heard of. Cut their suspicions have a pretty firm foundation. A rational dress club is only awaiting a few last con verts to complete its roll of 100 mem bers to make its appearance before the wondering public. They don't intend to troop out in a squad like some new fan gled army, but they will put on their new reform clothes, and if their cour age holds out go about the duties of life as thotigh nothing had happened. The models for these reform clothes are furnished by Mrs. B. O. Flower, the wife of tho editor of The Arena, and Laura Lee of Philadelphia. The costume consists of bloomers and a blouse. But Denver does; net intend to be a mere copyist in point of style, so she has racd ified the two designs given her by the east, and her leaders of society will ap pear in a carD peculiar to themselves. The skirts are to be very full and gath ered "just above the ankle, so that the folds will fall within five or six inches of the ground, and they are said to fol low the movements of the legs so grace fully that it. is difficult to see much dif ference from tho conventional ekirt. It is to the enterprise of the Chicago Tribune that the early knowledge of the reform is dfo. It has dona its work of investigation thoroughly, too, as it even gives us the form of the pledge whieli must be signed by those who wish to be among the hundred. One res-alt of this movement will be to reduce the long reigning Four Hundred of the city of Denver to tho 'One Hundred. The pledge is as follows: Believing that tlio heallh, grr.ee and com'ort of women will l.c increased by the adoption of more rational .dress for business (including housekeeping) purposes. I. the undersigned, in consideration of ninety-nine otlicr women of tho city of Denver severally pledging and bindins themselves by nri agreement similar to this, do hereby plecisjo and bind myself and agree: First To provide myself vrith a costume as follows: A rational rlress tkirt, a. comfortable fitt inz blouse or waist, using no whalebone or stiffening of any kind whatever (whether in the form of a corset, under waist or dress waist): shoes with common sense heels. Second To wear the same publicly in the city of Denver, commencing at such time after one hundred (ICO) women sh.-i.ll have signed this document, as may bo determinad by the Colo rado Kational Dress club. Third To continue to wear the same as a working, business or street costume for tho pe riod of at ieivfc,t-tlirea months after said date.

Other names are kept secret to add to the surprise in store for the public Mrs. Kilton sayp, "There will not be the least bit of immodesty about the dress, and she thinks there is no rea Bon why it. cannot be made very attract ive. In her opinion it is all nonsense for women to say they cannot help look ing slouchy without corsets. She says: "They will simply have to learn to stand up and walk gracefully.

When the number of signatures re quired is complete, the idea is to have a reception, so as to get a little accus tomed to the new found freedom from petticoats before venturing on the streets.

Mrs. Florence Blythe Hinckley, who, by the decision of the supreme court of California, the highest appellate tri bunal of the state, is declared legally en titled to the property of her putative father, Thomas EL Blythe, thereby comes into possession of an estate worth at least $4, 000", 000, much of it in San Francisco real estate, which is rapidly appreciating in value. This property, FLOREKCE BLYTHE HINCKLEY. though not particularly well improved, is returning a steady income of about $150, 000 a yerj, and by judicious im provement can easily be made to yield four times that sum. There are also thou sands of acres of land belonging to the estate in southern California, near the city of San Diego, and other thousands of acres in New Mexico and Arizona, besides a domain of magnificent extent in old Mexico. The legal battle for the possession of Blythe's prpperty began in 1886. It was very much involved because of the pains which Blythe took to conceal his ante cedents and history. There were nearly a hundred claimants besides Florence Blythe, who was alleged to be the nat ural daughter of Blythe and his legal heiress. The evidence showed that Blythe's proper name was Williams, and that he was born in Wales. He left home at 16, drifted to California and accumulated wealth. He died suddenly in San Francisco in 1883, leaving no wilL In February, 1873, while in London, Blythe contracted an intimacy with a girl of 20, Julia Perry. Blythe was then 50 years old.

In 187C Julia Perry married a man named Ash croft, whose child some of the claimants alleged Florence to be. Florence was tak en to San Francisco immediately after Blythe's death. Her striking resem blance to the dead pioneer made Blythe's intimate friends favor her claims.. Miss Blythe was married in 1892 to Frederick M. Hinckley, a young man in the insur ance business in San Francisco. They reside in Oakland and have a beautiful country place at San RafaeL Guarding the Bank of England.

It was snowing, and the wind was blowing furi ously. He had driven a long distance without seeing a house, and he knew it must be a long way to a village where accommoda tions for man and beast, could be secured. So he hailed with delight a rough farm house by the roadside and drove up in front and began to shout to the inmates. It seemed a long time before there was any sign of life, but at last a chamber win dov opened, and a roush, man's voice, with a good deal of profanity intermingled, ask ed what was wanted.
