"When we first entered this valley it

Col. Larrabee's Widow.

SAN FRANCISCO, June Mrs. Col.
Chas. III. Larrabee, widow of the Wis
consin congressman, is having hard
time of it in San Froncsco, according
to the Chronicle, of that city. Her
husband was killed in railroad acct
dent. Mrs. Larrabee's head was
gashed, her back wrenched and her
shoulder dislocated. In the reports of
the accident the extraordinary fatality
of the Larrabee family was studiously
concealed by the railway officials and
the injured woman's name was given
simply as Mrs. Larrabee. Besides
concealing her identity there
was an attempt made to
keep the extent of her injuries a secret
and to quash the whole affair with a
compromise. Friends found the unfor-
tunate lady in dark, dismal room,
under the hall of records, which does
duty as the Oakland receiving hospital.
She was lying on a mean truckle- bed,
and stated that she had been brought
there by the direction Of the railroad
official Immediately after the accident
and had lain there ever since. There
was no female attendant, and the man
who did duty as nurse only put in an
occasional appearance. The law will
be invoked to right the lady's wrongs.

JUDGE KINNE's SPEECH.

To those who believed Judge Kinne tc
on every roadside. on every street and
thorougfare, and in all places, says the
Dubuque Telegraph, his speech at the
court house the other night was a sur
prise. Here in Dubuque, where there
are more breweries and saloons than in
any other city in this state, and where
the heaviest majority against the amend
mont was cast, Judge Kinne if he were
an advocate of the saloon, would naturally
be expected TO speak in its defense. But
he had no defense TO make for it His
speech was almost exclusively devoted tC
the liquor question, and it was an argu
ment, not in favor of multiplying saloons
but of decreasing their number by Ii
ccnse and regulation. The made
quacy of prohibition as remedy
for the evils of intemperance was clearly
and forcibly delineated, and the tax law
of OhiO-a law which was enacted by q
republican Legislature, and which, during
the brief period it has been in operation,
has abolished thousands of seloons and
caused hundreds of thousands of dollars
10 flow into the state and county treasu
ries-wa5 held up for emulation, From
beginning to end the speech was Piles
for temperance, and when Judge Kinnt
makes that sort Of speech in Dubuque
the stronghold of -prohibitory senti
ment in Iowa, it is safe to assume anC
even to wager a large sum against very
small one, that he has not and will not
express different sentiments elsewhere. Ii

GENTLEMEN 8 DRESS.
sOme Things in Their Attire that Might
Be Reformed.

Ha7per'S Bazar says: Certain Eng
lish artists have lately been testing
some of the features of mems dress by
the principle of utility, sometimes too
narrowly construed, One of the first
things they have condemned is the
cylinder hat 1t would surely be hard
to prove any basis of utility for that; it
seems equally out of the question to
claim for it that it is in itself orna-
mental. The best thing to be said for
it is that many mems faces look well
under the black cylinder, however alb
surd it may be in itself. There are sew
era! good substitutes. The black felt
''deer-stalker' fulfills the requirements
of utility, and is in itself OF graceful
lines; mans face looks as well under
it as under cylinder hat. The Tam
O. Shanter, again, as ne plus ultra Of
convenience, has no obiecti>nable lines
in its contour, and suits most faces. The
clerical round soft black felt is as con-
dlcive to responsibility of appear
ance as any possible head-coverine
otherwise, it would hardly have become
clerical.
Next after the cylinder hat comes, in
the condemned list, the article we call
trousers. These, it is said, sin against
utility in that they ignore the knee
whereas men bend their limbs at this
point hundreds of times day. There
can be no question, with any one who
has tried them. of the superior con
genience of the knickerbocker, which
dsas not ignore the knee. but termi-
mates at it So, seeing further that the
trousers are garment with no claims
to grace, the dress reformers propose te
relinquish trousers for the old knee.
