A Great Argument Against Corsets.

A Great Argument Against Corsets.
In order to ascertain the influence OF
tight clothing upon the action OF the
heart during exercise a dozen young
women consented this summer to run
$40 yards in their loose gymnasium
garments and then To run the same
distance with corsets on. The running
time was two minutes and thirty
seconds for each person ut cach tilal,
and, i'll order that there should be no
cardiac excitement OF depression fol-
lowing the first test the second trial
was made the following day. Before
beginning the running the average
heart impulse was 81 beats 10 the NM
ute; after running the above named
distance the heart impulse was lo2
beats to the minute; the average natur-
al waist girth being - inches The
next day corsets were worn during the
exercise. and the average glrth OF waist
was reduced to - inches. The same
distance was run in the same tune by
ALL and Immediately afterward the
average heart impulse was found to be
16s beats per minute When | stated
that should feel myself lustlhed IN
advising an athlete not to enter run
ming or rowing race whose heart i'm
pulse was 16O beats per minute after
little exercise, even though there We're
not the slightest evidence OF disease,

That was really a delicious entertainment
given at the Bushnell mansion on the East
side on Thursday evening, under the aus.
pices Of the ladies of the st. Agatha Guild, of
the Episcopal church. The delightful read
ings and representations of Miss Bishop alone
were enough TO insure success, but these
were supplemented by the rare attractions Of
singing by Miss Whittlesey and piano music
by Mr. Estabrook.
Miss Bishop, as the audience were told in
her introduction by Capt Fullerton, is the
daughter of the arch deacon of the diocese,
and consents to use her rare gifts only to pro-
mote benevolent objects of the church. She
is very petite, beautiful as pink lily, with a
matchless voice and face Of marvellous mobil-
ity but whether fifteen or twenty-five years
old, pom honor, "this deponenth confesseth
himself stumped. Her "Froggies going to
Sleep" was wonderful piece OF vocal MIN
icry; "Imph'm" was equally marvellous as
a dialecticism her mimicry Of " Grandmoth.
er's Minuet" was excessively funny, and the
story Of Robbery" brought tears. Miss
Whittlesey's singing was such as one natur-
voice which in purity and fexibility we
have never heard excelled. The piano exer-
else of Mr.. Estabrook was that of one who
has made himself master Of the instrument
All the performers were again and again en-
Enthusiastically encored, and responded as often
as in reason they could be expected to. The
audience was all In size the house could COM
fortably hold, and came away with the unan-
imous and enthusiastic agreement that they
had passed "a very pleasant evening" We
heartily congratulate the st. Agatha girls on
the success OF their " show financially and
otherwise.

A runaway at the watering trough on the
south side the other day, was remarkable in
more ways than one, A man stopped his
team in the evening to allow them to drink
and left a ten year old girl sitting in the
spring seat of high wagon box, while he
got down to uncheok the team, and while in
the act the horses made spring and started
at full speed, the man losing his grip on the
lines. The horses ran about ten rods and
then ran into the gutter, and over heavy
stone, throwing the little girl some thirty
feet-clear over the fence, and landing her
square on her feet without scratch. The
horses ran about mile, stopped and qa,etly
waited till the man and the little girl caught
up. Nothing WAS injured.

How Much F,ye.Foot Coal,


How many acres of land does Moore's FIVE
foot vein of coal underlie? To develop or
not to develop?
These were the questions coming before
the Business Mems Association on Monday
evenings meeting.
Mr.. Thomas reported no definite action
taken in regard 10 the o. Mera mine investi-
cations but urged on the Association the
more advisable plan of first investigating the
find of coal on the Moore farm, which, il
coal field and not pocket, would prove
more beneficial in more ways than one than
the O'Mera matter. Moores place being
directly east of the southern portion Of the
city, would attract another railroad much
more easily than would the O'Mera field,
because the latter was too near the c., 3. q
Q. to allow another railroads entrance uD
less the fnd proved to be greater that thirty
inch coal. Many years ago Mr.. Nattinger OF
the east side, had mined coal from the bot
tom of the Illinois river about one and half
miles from Moore's place and later had
mined camel coal from the banks of ravine
on Prices farm, half mile east Of that gen.
tleman's place.
The committee, Messrs. Thomas, Perkins
and Nicholson was retained and authorized
to confer with the Moores, offering to pay
half the expense Of drilling test hole one
hundred rods southwest of the present we'll
with diamond drill. This is thought to be
second vein coal and if this experiment
proves that depth of five feet exists to con-
siderable extent a third hole will be sunk q
half mile to mile farther southwest, to
ascertain whether it connects with the coal
at Covel Creek 1t was thought that in case
the Moore field proved good, rail
road, possibly the 8 l, could be secured from
the southeast, giving US an outlet to the east
independent of Chicago.
In the foundry matter no action had been
taken as the gentleman who was seeking
location had not been in the city. As soon
as he arrives meeting will be called to ar
range the matter.
Some one brought up the Smeeton tin
shingle and thought it good idea to have a
committee appointed to confer with Mr..
Smeeton and ascertain at what figure he
holds his patent and under what conditions
he would enter into the formation of com.
pany to manufacture the single on large
scale. Messrs Nicholson, Butler and Hall
we're appointed committee for the purpose
and instructed to take steps to start the pro-
ect toward definite ending.
Mr.. O'Mers WAS represented as
being perfectly willing that the Moore
matter should be investi gated prior to action
being taken in his case but negotiations will
be continued with him with the ultimate
view of sounding the matter to the bottom.
