REFORM In WoNAN's DREss.-There is
a healthful tendency to exhibit at this
present writing, in regard to woman's
dress. Not that It is all that it is desir-
able, but the general tendency is in the
right direction. Even the fashion
nonthlies now and then adopt q wise
suggestion from the Psychologist. Years
ago, on Broadway, the trail was so COM
mon that q gentleman must tread care
fully on the sidewalk, or he would step
on the silks and satius that swept the
payements. To-day they are nothing
like so common. A year or two ago it
became fashionable to hook up the long
skirts so they should not touch the
ground. Fashion forbade more, but
she relaxed her dictum enough for this.
"Giye an inch and take an ell" is likely
to be the result of this relaxation for
to-day, instead of looping up the skirts
a few inches, u more sensible one Of
making them shorter has been intro
duced, and is likely to become popular.
What the next step will be it is inpos-,
sibls to tell, but We hope it will be in
advance. This abort skirt, SO far as
looks are concerned, though not yet
perfect, is much haudsomer than the
long skirt tied in ,%ungraceful, bungling
folds, and spread owe broad hoops
that tilt on every touch, so as to
make the wearer violate every rule Of
modesty and propriety. But the great
reform in womau's dress must be about
the waist, where the vital organs are
situated. Let woman make her dress
about the chest both beautiful and phys
biological, so as to admit of the fullest
action ofthe lungs, heart, and all the
muscles of the abdomen, sides, chest,
back and shoulders, and she viii olsen
thral herself from u multitude of ills,
improve her form, and become the moth
or of better, healthier children. Many
m undertake to make their. dresses
about the waist loose, but forget to
make them tasteful. In this they err,
and prevent its general adoption. 1t is
a very difficult IL not impossible thing
to make the waist handsome when using
the most common style Of pattern. We
want the old style superseded, and
something entirely new, physiological
and beautiful. Man can point pout
wherein there is any departure from
ph~yilogical principles, but 10 elaborate
the design may we'll enough be left to
woman. For and all improvements in
this direction we are thankful, but we
will never be satisfied until a still high
er standard Of real merit is reached
than has been gained by any one yet

A SAVINGS BANK.
Y1Ra1SIA CRY, sept. lst, lsl

VIRGINIA CIrY, sept. ISL, 1905
EpIroR Nrws:-I have noticed, and
been graifed by your frequent urging
the benefit and importance Of %establish-
ing a Savings Bank in this county.
You have enumerated many of the ad-
vantages that would arise from such an
institution, to the patron and the capt.
talist. regret that It is manifest hat
our bankers have no desire or inclina-
ton to take the initiative or assume
the responsibility Of such an undertake
ing as you suggest. Now why could
not there be a public meeting Of citizens
called to take the subject into consider,
alton? Or, let a paper be passed round
among the laboring men, for sigma
lures, on which the petition may set
forth the necessity for q Savings Bank
in Storey county. i believe that a
proper petition to the managers OF the
Hibernia Bank, In San Francisco, a well
known and ~eminectly solvent institu-
ton, would induce those capitalists to
invest in the project, and give their
name and influence at once to the con.
Germ. If the Hibernia Bank men would
only take hold Of the matter, they might
soon have here what would amount, TO
them, to a very valuable branch bank I;
though the State laws may not be In
such comfy as to permit Of there being
literally q branch Of q savings bank
here. 1.-THE Bank Of California here is
u brauch.l I do hope my fellow daily
laborers will think this matter over,
and take a practical step right of. AS
you have said, the Miners Unions
could properly move first on the subject;
All good citizens are deeply interested
in having a savings bank established in
this county. Yours,

THE Colorado Register Of August goth,
reports that the ruins Of the train de-
stroysd by the Indians is still standing
OF the track where it was burned, and
that the charred remains Of the fireman
still lie upon the engine. The Railroad
Company found it cheaper TO lay a new
track than to repair the old one. A
culvert had been undermined and other
damage done, giving the Indians a bet
ter chance to operate. They had placed
the end Of a rail against a tie and ele-
ysted the other end so as to strike the
boiler of the engine and pass through
il, where it still remains, a monument
of the friendly disposition and feelings
ofour red brethren. The Railroad Com

A Big Man in a Tight Place.

FROM the Pittsburg Dispatch, Dec. 24J
Last evening about O'clock, q fireman
named John Well, employed on the tow oost
diamond, lying in the Monongahela, very
nearly came to a sudden end. 1t appears that
ne set about cleaning the boiler Of the tug an
having finished the exterior to his satisfaction,
went inside. He entered through an aperture
IN the end, and applied himself to his task at
once. Scarcely had he been At work tor more
tnan four or five min utes, W hen be was sud
denly seized by a cramp and commenced to
swell. Well is almost proverbial for his ro-
tnndlty-ordinarily measures ~ inches around
the chest, and is of a gravity proportisnately
great. Shortly after he had taken i'll he
crawled to the aperture and attempted TO get
out, but so much had he gained by the
swelling that to force himself through the
bele was ont OF the question. He bawled lus.
tiIy for help, and his cries brought some of the
hands to his assistance. They, however, were
unable to ISlieve hlm from his plight, and the
cramps Rapidly becoming worse, messengers
were instantly dispatched for doctors, police,
olacksmins, &c, and one adventurous fellow
who seemed TO understand the situation,
hunted up the coroner. Things looked very
blue for some time. and il was proposed to cut
away strip OF the boiler as a last resource
This being objected TO, eight or nine stalwart
fellows seized Well, and through a "iong pull

nim through by main force. His clothes were
torn in tatters and his body badly bruised an
scratched In various places. He is seriouslv
