Shooting is already popular sport
with lively English girls has been 30 for
q long time. Many OF the l1dies who
ride with the hounds can also bag par
tridges on the moors. and therefore the
new freak hore for shooting Is entirely
an imported one. Stunning costumes
are gotten up for the sport They are
not so bold as the suits worn by Partisan
Dinnas, but are natty suits Of Scotch
tweed or some similar material, able to
stand considerable rough work. They
are made sometimes with short jacket
bodlces and sometimes with blouse
waists. the latter being favored. The
skirts are always narrow and very plain.
They reach scantly to the tops Of tho
high hunting-boots worn, and are de-
signed to interfere as little as possible
with progress over rough country. \
htHe round cloth cap, helmet, or Tam o
Shantcr completes the dress. Some la
dies wear gloves, while others leave
their hands free for better handling Of tho
weapon.

rHREArENINa EPoCH.

A writer in the Hazleton Plain Speaker
Of a recent date has the following to say on
dangerous trusts: There is no question be-
fore the American masses to-day more
dangerous or vitality threatening.to the well
fare Of our people than the so-called COM
binatlons of pools" and trusts" that
corner the necessities and commodities of
living, fixing and regulating the prices--in-
dependent Of the law Of supply and de-
mand, This dangerous epoch iu the his
tory Of our country was brightly, cogently
and tersely demonstrated in an article con-
tributed to the North American Rerietc by
the Hon. William Rapsher, Of Mauch
Chunk, Carbon county's distinguished
District Attorney. in which he says:
practically, all the great necessities of
life in this country, excepting only the air
and that would be monopolized il it had
solidity like the earth-are now controlled
by soulless and mercenary combinations.
Are these things ineyitablep Are they the
legitimate product of our civilizationp If
they are we had better begin anew. But
they are not the outgrowth OF progress.
They are rather fungeous growth-horrible
sxcresencas. They are the fruits of bad
legislation; and bad judicial construction OF
already bad laws They domi-
nate all channels of activity; they control
governors, judges and legislators; they
make hewers of wood and drawers of water
of all outside of their charmed circle"
None of your readers will dispute the ap-
prOpriateness of the eminent gentleman
terse demonstration of the condition Of
affairs that, in defiance OF all laws, threatens
the liberties and safety of our American
people. These dangerous factors in the
commercial world will not be admonished,
so IL they are swept beyond the line of jus
tics by the violence of an oppressed and
much wronged people they must not be
provoked, but accept the inevitable as
natural result of American Independence
In excuse of this condition of affairs
Ex-Governor Isaac Bromley, in a later issue
Of the same magazine, attempts to answer
Mr.. Rapsher's invincible arguments by al
exhaustive combination of brilliant sar
casms that are amusing 10 the reader bu
not convincing. Mr.. Bromley makes nc
complaint against universal human nature
but fires inyective and ridicule broadsid'
into tho masses who murmur against thu
oppression of cooperative greed and vicious
ness. Like all others who roll in the lal
of luxury ne fails to appreciate the hard
ships and miseries caused by these combi
nations that are the breeders of dissatis
fed people-call them Socialists or Anarch
lists. a. YOU please.

WHAT THE MILLS BILL MEANS FOR La
BORING MEN.

/. 1t means Cheaper Clothing. The Mills
bill takes the tax or duty off wool, thus
reducing the cost of woolen goods and en-
abling the workingman to buy for the same
price he pays to-day clothing that will con-
tain less shoddy and more wool.
2. 1t means Cheaper Food. The work
ingman now pays a heavy tax on every
pound OF salt or sugar that he uses. The
Mills bill takes the duty off salt entirely,
and reduces that on sugar.
8. 1t means Cheaper Houses. The home
of every mechanic in the land costs faI
more than il ought owing to the taxes on
the materials used in its construction
levied for tho sole benefit of the forest
owners Of Michigan and Maine and the
mine.owners of the Western and Middle
States. The Mills bill puts lumber, bricl
and building-stone on the free list, and re
duces the tax on iron, copper, lead, zinc
paint, slate, tools and other articles useC
in building
A. 1t means Less Rent to pay. The esi
the cost of building the more houses will
be built and in the market.
5. 1t thus means More Employment fol
the multitude of people engaged in or de
pendent on the building trades.
6. 1t means More Employment for thos,
engaged in wooden manufactures. The
manufacturer gets his material cheaper
and can thus afford to sell cheape
without cutting wages, finds a wider mark
ct, and will thus extend his plant and busi
ness.
I. 1t does not mean Free Trade, bu
lower duties on the raw materials of manu-
facture and the necessaries of life.
s. 1t means in short, that the Democratic
party has to-day, as ever, the interests o
the laboring classes nerest to its heart, ant
is now advocating in the Mills bill meas
ure that will necessarily increase the welfar
and prosperity of the laborlng people o
this country.

The young men In front of me were wild,
and the tallest and handsomest man Of the
party rose, and balancing himself, stepped
forward TO the orchestra and threw her a

attached his card. The man was Fred
May, at that time one of the foremost

men. He was even then on the broad
highway to ruin, which eliminated some
months ago when he tried TO kill police
man. He had been on a drinking bout and
stood on Park Place grossly insulting every
woman who passed. A. policeman came
up and told him to move on. May struck
him and nearly knocked him down; the
policeman drew his club and May drew his

policeman struck him with his club, laying

eye to his chin, and destroying his beauty

assault, which involved the penalty of
States Prison. 1t took some time to get

by the man he horsewhipped, James
Gordon Bennett, with the understanding
that the bail was to be forfeited, which 1t
was. And so passes from sight central

BROADBRIM'S N. Y. LETTER

What's the use of trying to think about
anything at this time except saving the ma
tiOn. There are plenty of men that have
never read the Bible, and millions of them
who have never given the slightest con-
sidsration to their future state; but what
ever their knowledge of any other class of
literature, sacred or profane, there is no ex-
euse for ignorance on the tariff. My, my,

The past spring and summer have been
very prosperous seasons for Lehighton.
The large number of new buildings erected
and the various other improvements made
In and around the town have kept our la
boring people constantly employed, while
the works at Packerton and the several in
dustries here have given constant employ
ment, at comparatively fair wages, TO the
great mass of Lehighton's toilers. Taken
all together the season just passed has been
a prosperous one and we should be happy.

Price. Paid for Magazine Work.

Speaking few evenings ago with the ed
itor of one of the great New York magazines,
chanced to ask him as to the present rates
paid to authors for their work His answer
was not uEinteresting.
THE present average rate for magazine
work is $40 per thousand words. This is now
paid to a large number of what is termed
average writers-that is, writers whose repu-
tations have yet to be made. OF course, this
price does sot apply to known and tried
writer's Where articles are solicited they
always command higher prices Work OF
famous writers commands different prices;
some come very high. For example, We have
paid as high as $1,000 for single poem
How long was iti Five pages of our maga-
zine. For single story as high as 5000 has
been paid. although usually 500 is a good
price for good short story. Those which
are considered especially meritorlous COM
mand as high as $3.50
but rates finctuate, and am frank to
confess that great deal depends upon repu-
tation This must, of necessity, be so, for
the public will read a story or poem very
often because of the name attached to it,
where the same story might go unread in
many cases if an unknown name is signed to
it. From my experience, women write the
best short stories. They are better equipped
TO meet the demands of the age. Most
stories sent to the magazines by men en-

every conceivable plot has been invented,

II has long been serious matter with
the women to find out why men prefer to
attend clubs instead of receptions and
weddings The secret was divulged by
an irate parsonage of the masculine gen
der the other evening when his wife tried
TO induce him to go to grand reception
with her She coaxed, Hattered, wheedled
stormed. raved and finally went into hys
terics Of course, the husband was at his
wits end. and nothing was left for him to
do but give her the true cause Of his re-
fusal. which was. he told her, that q
league had been formed by the men pledg
ing themselves not to attend evening
parties as long as the ladies' wear low
uecked dresses.
The reason for this revolt on the part
of the men lies in the fact that
the rooms have to be kept SO heated for
the ladies to be comfortable that the men
suffer untold agonies. many becoming 80
overheated that they take cold on coming
out into the open air, pneumonia follows
and death ensues. This league is prepar
ing statistics to prove that more men are
sacrificed in this way every year than by
war. pestilence. famine and intenperance
The president of the league Is the reverse
of woman hater. and he finds 1t very
lrksome to attend the club all the while.
accordingly he has formulated scheme
whereby the difficulty can be obviated.-
