and disease would only be little more con-
siderate of personal appearance and not al

combinations and stocking of wool, a
wooden union garment, with divided skirt
and dress, there would be some use in
their preaching. But both men and women
who deliver themselves to the scary instruc-
tons relative to the abandonment of fash
ionable dress always go
A STEP TOO FAR.
They will not be moderate. They will al
low of no medium way for women to look
graceful and pretty while conforming to
these abominable hygienic principles.
Women ought to be told that when they
bare their shoulders below a certain point
they expose the upper lobes of the lungs,
the seat of consumption; that when they
cannot fasten their belts without their cor
sets they are laced too tight; that when
they wear high heels on their boots they
throw their weight on muscles that should
never be strained, besides eventually dis
torting the shape Of the leg. All this and
much more il is well for silly women to be
told, but they will not heed this knowl-

offered by the baggy hygienc gar
ments devised by strong-minded cranks."
Now, that is sensible talk. Society girls
are much incensed because all the old
women and barbarians are hauling them

but skirts at balls and parties. 1t has been
the one excitement of the winter to reach
low water mark without breaking the sta

talking. There is no fun in being peculiar.
We are not to be bullied. Sensible physi-

absurd. Girls can ape manishness prittily,

are good angels to preserve him from awk-

away and he resorts to his pockets,

GOSSIP FROM GAY PARIS.
The Stupid Memoirs Of a Shameless
Adventures.
A disappointment to the Prurient Partisan
Public.
A "Reminiscences of the Corrupt Sec
ond Empire.
Close OF the Carnival Season An
other Swell Wedding.

PARIS, April 1.-The Memoirs of Cora
Pearl' have proved great disappointment
TO the public. She has left unsaid all the
piquant things that she might have said and
the residue Is stupidity. Probably she has
made more money by emitting all refer
ence to the more startling passages in her
career than she would have gained by the
extra attractiveness of the book had they
been fully set forth i'm it. For the suppress
sion of one group of letters a noble French
family paid, 1 am told, some $40, 900.
But she passes lightly over some episodes
that she might have made very interesting,
without offense TO any one. Take. for in
stance. her brief apparition on the Parisia n
boards in the role of Cupid in Offenbach's
''Orphee aux ENTERS" Cora was then in
the prime of life and of her beauty, whose
chief attraction lay in the sculptureSQue
perfection of the most exquisite figure that
ever was revealed in faultlessly fitting
riding-habit in the avenues of the Bots de
BOulOgne. Her dress as Cupid was OF
the scantiest the draperies of pale-pink
crepe de Chine being scarcely more
voluminous than the clasps and
chains of diamonds wherewith they were
fastened. Diamonds blazed upon her
everywhere that diamond could be set;
they buttOned her classic buskins, they
formed the wings on her shoulders, they
shone in her crepe fair hair, and they
clasped her scantieSt of all possible TUNES.
The culver that hung at one shoulder was
in silver fligree. filed with diamond ar
rows and supported by diamond chain.

THE JEWELS
Of her costume were computed as being
worth at least SIS, 900. But though the
words and music of the part had been cut
down to their very smallest proportions,
there was too much to be sung for woman
who could not sing, and too much TO be
spoken by woman who could not pro-
nOunce dozen words of French correctly.
Her false singing and her English pro-
nounciation were not to be tolerated even
for the sake of her figure and her diamonds.
Moreover, the Partisan public has at times
sudden Tevolts against an open scandal.
They rose in rebellion against the spectacle
of this shameless being thus exhibiting
herself and her splendors without the
slightest artistic excuse upon the stage. She
was roundly Kissed and forced to retire
after the twelfth performance. And thus
ended, and forever, the theatrical career of
Mile. Cora Pearl. The diamond wings of
her costume were afterwards bought by one
of the bellies of the second empire, who
wore them at one Of the great costume balls
of the court in the character of Queen of
the Fairies.

President CleveIand's Hunt for Deer.

To the Editor Of the INDIANAPOLIS Journal
The telegra6hic dispatches of yesterday say
that our great and good President has gone into
the woods deer hunting. Now. as the close sea-
SON for deer in the State OF New York has not
yet ended, number of your readers would like
to know if there is anything in the Constitution
of the United States or the prerogatives of a
President which give to him any more right to
violate the laws than the humble citizen. The
States of New York and Maine both have game
wardens, and spend thousands of dollars an
nually in prosecuting violators of the law, but it
looks TO us if they fail in doing their duty now
they will have hard time hereafter in convino-
ing the average juryman that the "outer" who
kills deer for meat is any greater criminal than
the man who does it merely for the sake of hay
ing his name heralded across the country as a
rival to Jack Scott, the deer slayer Of the Adj.

ORGANIZING A NEW PARTY.
Representatives of Various Organizations
Propose to Unite Their Interests.

Beginning at noon to-day, at No. 1891 East
tives from the Knights of Labor, Changers,
Wheels, Farmers Alliance, Greerbackers and
Prohih-donists will be held to formulate
some plan for unity of political action.
1t proposes national significance
as the members are to come from Illinois, Mich
igan, Wisconsin, Kansas, and other States. But
last night the representation from abroad did not
number more than twenty-five or thirty, with
the Knights of Labor in the ascendant. Among
those here are Colonel Norton, Of the Chicago
Sentinel; B. S. Heath, of the Chicago Express;
DR.. Waters, chairman of the NationaIists' State
commtte. of Bloomington, H.; Willis Jones. of
Illinois; Mrs Marian Todd, of Michigan; John
Hasting and S. Jones, of Kansas and W. P.
Brush, Of the Clark County News, that State.
At the English Hotel, last night, preliminary
conference was held, to lay out work for the day.
They were all at sea as to what should be done
but the prevailing idea was that all the various
organizations which had adopted political plat
forms ought to unite one, as the expressions
of each were similar, and one object was com
mon to all. 1t is hardly probable that anything
will be done to-day except to prepare for dele
gate convention to be held on or about the 22d
of February next NJ. G.. Rankin, of Terre
Haute, presided last evening. with S.
Z. Douglass and Ed Hutchins of this
city, as secretaries. After an interchange of
views committee was appointed. consisting of
Messrs. Heath of Chicago; Gruelle, of Indianap-
oils; Eaton. of Illinois; Brush, of Kansas; Nor
rison, of Greeneastle and Richards, OF this city
to receive and arrange resolutions and sug-
gestons relative to a platform. A report is to
be made to the conference and by that referred
to another committee. Tonight at "a place to
be designated. Col. s. F. Norton, of Chicago
Leo Miller of Grand Rapids, and Mrs. Todd of
Detroit will deliver addresses.

Miscellaneous Notes.

The Northern Pacific elevator Offices are to be
removed to Minneapolis.
The Wisconsin Central is running through
postal cars between Abbottsford, Wis, and Min
neapolls, and direct mail service has been per-
manently established
A gentleman lately over the Manitoba road
says it will handle more grain this year than
last Its new mileage this year is about three
hundred, and it is nearly all completed.
The Minneapolis & Northwestern road refuses
to join the Northwestern Association until the
milling in transit business is abolished. It is
reported that the Wisconsin Central takes the
same position.
The increasing passenger business of the East
Tennessee, Virginia e Georgia railway has made
| it necessary for the freight and passenger de-
partments of the several divisions to be sepa-
rated after Sept. !.
The Canadian Pacific is preparing to do trans
continental business in earnest 1t has opened
Office in San Francisco, and is making ready
to put line of steamers between that port
and Vancouver. When the line is running it
will probably try and compete with the Central
and Northern Pacific roads for freight and will,
as matter of course, have to be taken into the
pool after a time.
George V. Sims, president of the proposed
Billings Clarks Fork & Cooke City road, was
in St Paul. on his way to New York. The
proposed road is to run from Billings southeast
to Cooke City, distance of lis miles, with q
branch line leaving the main line few miles
south of Billings to Red Lodge, distance of
about thirty three miles, giving the company a
total mileage of 148 miles.
The new branches of the Atchison. Topeka &
Santa Fe which are being constructed in Kansas
under the name of the Chicago, Kansas s. West
ern, will probably all be completed this year
Some of them are already finished and in opera

work of construction. and it is stated that the
cost will approximate $40 900 000 The dimen.
sions of the bridge are as follows: Length from

including approaches, 5000 feet; clear span,
LOGO feet; height of railroad above water 1873
feet; height of towers above water, 80 feet:
width of bridge, SO feet. There will be 30 cables,
each IA inches in diameter, to be carried across
in four systems and to contain total of 481,-
1873. $50 feet of steel wire. The weight of the
steel and iron in the structure will be rs. 435
tons. The building of this bridge will more
closely identify the Western and New England
States and give the Erie a short line to New
