NEW ITEMS OF DREssMAKING.
Pointed waists both ia front and back rival

pecially those OF silk, lace or Sicilienne. The
point OF the back is sharper than that in

short sides and back are finished by knife.

inches deep in the middle of the back, but
slopes away to only half al inch under the

Society and Reforms.

Lillian Whiting IN lnter-Ocean.
The truth is indeed, that the purely fash
enable circles OF society are becoming so in.
tell;gent, and the intelligent circles are be.
coming go fashionable, that it is no longer
possible to dIax sn exact line between them,
fixed between fashion and reform. Reforms
then selves are becoming fashionable, and
society re enforces itself from the people who
have ideas 1t is they who contribute value,
vitality, and who enrich life with new
thought ard nobler ideas. 1t is the sign OF
q benigbted and igr GRANT, rather than an I'D
vanced and intelligent social state, to con-
slider fashion and reform as sntagonistic
terms or to believe that the woman who
champions cause or principle Is lees
womanly than she who limits
her horizon 10 her personal desires.
II society does not welcome those who
bring to 1t nobler views and univers al
thought, so much the worse for society. The
reform er. in the true significance of the term,
is the poet and the prophet OF umsnity.
He is the diviner OF possibilities, the seer OF
finer social states. That every genuine re.
form attracts its cheap following is true; but
every real coin has its counterfeit. Law
has its charlatans and medicine its quscks.
but net the less because OF this is medicine
Tor the healing Of the nations, and law hath
her eat in the bosom of Gcd" The attitude
OF IL social world toward the leaders of
thought and the OWNERS OF truth reveals Its
own quality; whether 1t be that which can
az preciate all nobleness, or whether it is
limited 10 material things and incapable OF
appiehen ding the spiritual side of life, the
atmosphere in which they, oar poets and
our prophets. dwell, "who give Us nober

Not Permitted 20 Practice Law.
INaw NnrfhWestl


The Supreme Court of Oregon has brought
discre dill upon itself by 81 constituting our
laws as 10 disbar women from practicing the
legal profession in this State. The decision
was rendered last week on the application OF
Mrs. Mary A. Leonard, OF Seattle, who pre-
sented certificate OF admission to the bar
of Washington Territory and asked like
recognition here. The refusal of the udges
is based on the fact that In the statutes
which permit persons to prctice
law the plonouns he" and him"
are used. In other words
women are not persons" The statutes in
referen &c to variods other matters also con.
tain the masculine pronouns; yet the Su-
preme Court does not hold that women are
exempt from laws to impose taxes, to punish
crime, and so forth. In the construction of
statutes there is a mighty differences far
as womt n are Observation-Disclosures burdens
are to be imposed or rights protected. The
illiberal decision is not only personally dam
agir to the applicant, but il is blow at ev-
cry woman's ght TO earn her living in a
way that she elects. Mrs. Leonard has made
an application to practice in the United
States Courts, and we believe Judge Deadly
will grant her petition. SEE will also en-
deayor to have rehearing before the State
Supreme Court, when We hope the judges
will look into the justice of the case and
allow women q chance to demo nstrate their
capacity 10 master the law" Some will
succeed. some will fail; all they ask is fail
field and no favor.

A Bloody Battle.

Gen. Herbert Stewards battle at
Kassaniyeh with Ell Mahdi's forces on
the 18th inst, was very desperate af-
fair. 1t was fought between $4,000
British, mostly dismounted cavalry,
and 1000 Arabs. A flank movement
exposed -arthworks prepared by the
enemy, and advancing in hollow
square with his six screw guns divided
at the corners, Stewart took position
on the summit of O low hill. Here he
was at once furionsIy attacked by the
whole of the Arabs, who managed to
pierce one side OF the square, when des-
perate hand to hand fighting resulted.
The break occurred in the line of the
10th Hussars and was caused, it is
claimed by them, by disorder among
the camels in their rear. The shrap-
nell of the artillery did terrible execu-
ton and the Martini Henry rifles al
so gave splendid results. The enc
nies' loss was $500 and the defeat
was thorough. Among the British
killed was Col. Fred Barnaby of the
Horse guards, author of a Ride to Xiii
va and other werks and the strongest
man in the British army. He stood
feet, 6 inches barefooted. and meas
ured so inches around the chest and
was noted for his wonderful pluck. He
was killed by spear thrust through
the neck, and was found dead clutch
ing the throat of the Arab who had
killed him, and whom he throttled in
turn. Many more officers were killed,
and Lords st. Vincent and Airlie were
wounded. Serious apprehension is felt
in England as to Lord Wolseley's capa-
bility to reach or leave Khartoum, but
he is pushing forward rapidly. Stew
arts force had had no rations for "a
hours before the fight, and had to be vic
torious 10 get to water at the Ale:am-
mech wells, "a miles in advance.

Do You Want Good Fruit Trsss'

Ifyou do, we can give you no better adj
vice than to call on A. X. Sutton, proprietor
pies, Pears, Peaches, cherries, Plums, Straw
berry Plants, etc., of every variety. Most
of the fine fruit grown here in this season is
from trees taken from his Nursery, which is
rapidly acquiring an excellent reputation.
The trees grown in this climate are certainly
better suited to this section than those i'm
ported from distance, and our people ap-
pear to have at length become aware of the
fact. We can commend Mrs. unqualified
ly to every reader of this paper, and his word
can be depended upon at all times. Orders
by mail for trees from responsible parties
will receive prompt attention.
