F'emininfty Measured Up.

VIC NftN Cf$S"
A perfectly formed woman will stand
at the average height of 8 feet 3 inches
to 5 feet 7 inches. She will weigh from
1875 to 40 pounds.
A plumb line dropped from a point
marked by the tip of her nose will fall
at q point one inch in front of her
great toe. Her shoulders and her hips
will strike a straight line drawn up
and down. Her waist will taper grad
uaIly to a size ON a line drawn from
the outer third of the collar bone to
the hips.
Her bust will measure from 90 to So
inches; her hips will measure from 6
to 10 inches more than this, and her
waist will call for a belt from % to 20
inches.
The upper arm of the perfectly
formed woman will end at the waist
line, SO that she can rest her elbow on
a table while standing erect, and her
forearm shall extend to a point per-
hitting the fingers to mark a point
lust below the middle of the thigh.
Her neck and thigh should be of the
same circumference. The calf of her
leg and upper arm should measure
about the same.
Her legs should be about rs long as
a line drawn from her chin to her
inger-tips, or about one-half her
height. She should measure from her
waist to her feet about a foot more
than from her waist to the crown of
her head.
Her neck should be from twelve to
fourteen inches around, her head erect
and on a line with the central plane of
the body, and her foot should be of a
size and shape to conform with her
hands.
The we'll proportional woman wears
a shoe one-half the size of the glove
that her hand calls for. Thus, if a
woman wears a six glove she should
wear three shoe.

TT must be admitted that in his let
ter to the Editor of THE JERSEY CITY
News, published yesterday, Mr.. Nc
Grath, counsel to the Freeholders,
made out a good case on behalf OF the
Board. His figures seem to establish a
sensible reduction in the ordinary ex-
penses of the county, the actual in
crease being in the way of extraordin-
airy expenses, incurred mainly in
compliance with acts of this years

The Parnell investigation Farce.

The Parnell Investigation Farce.
The withdrawal of Mr.. Parnell's
counsel from the Times investigation
was to be expected. The only marvel
was that he was able to sanction the
proceedings by his presence so long as
he did.
The Commission of Judges was APP
pointed to condemn, and not to aequit
the Irish Nationalist members of Par
lament. 1t was owing purely to for
tuitous circumstances and to the ex-
ceeding turpitude of the Times side
that this purpose was defeated.
But though the case against the
Parnellites was overthrow and
hurled back upon it's fabricators dis
astrously, the Tory Government
could not escape from the demon OF
injustice which prompts it SO far as to
allow the full exposure of the iniqui-
tous conspiracy that was framed to
aid it.
That is the sticking point. The
justice of Providence has cleared the
innocent, but the injustice of Tory
manhood shields the wicked.

At the next meeting of the Board of
Aldermen the Daft Company will APP
ply for the contract to furnish this
city with electric light. We cordially
commend the application to the atten-
ton Of the authorities.
The United States Company is a
foreign corporation, chiefly noted for
the exorbitance of its charges. The

of our people. Besides, the company

Do not be deceived, good Pro-
hibitionistsl Let not General Fiske
deceive you with false promises bor-
rowed from the lips of Sewell. 1t is
hardly likely that County Option will
figure i n the Republican platform at
all this year. 1t certainly will not if
the Republican fight is made to win.
WHERE is the Majah in the Guber-
material contest? He has not been
heard from yet.
Happy thought:-Why should not
the Republicans nominate him. He
would be a first rate losing man-quite
the sort of person General Sewell is
looking for just now.

local questions.
This Is Tough.

O
Here's richness" rs the late Mr..
Squeers used to say.
While Mr.. Sewell, of Camden, is
trying to fix the Democratic party to
suit himself, his alleged followers go
back on him in the meanest way, and
now he is going to have a fearful time
getting any sort of hold on the Repub-
lican forces in the Fall campaign.
W. tell in another column the sad
story of the uprising against the

is bitter. The Young Republicans"
and the "Veterans"-what a eombina-
tion-have determined to jump on lit
tie Mr.. William H. Butts, the Gen
erals marionette State Committee
man. They will have none of him.
Nobody but City Solicitor j. Willard
Morgan will suit their turn. This is
awful rough on the General"
But it is only a fraction of the
trouble that is in the wind. The we'll
informed Trenton correspondent of
the Camden Telegram paints a hor-
rible state of internecine warfare in
the Republican camp. He says that
Mr.. Sewell's dealing and dickering
with people outside the Republican
pale have bitterly incensed the most
respectable element of the party, and
a determined effort will be made to
kick the boss down off his throne. He
even intimates that some, who are not
particularly respectable, feel that
Sewell has gone too far, for he in
cludes George NJ. Robson among the
kickers. SIT seems probable" he says,
shat Brewer, Halsey and Robson
will combine with others against
Sewell, and prevent the nomination
of Eevins." The correspondent also
dilates upon the disastrous results of
the manner in which Federal patron
age has been misdirected in South
Jersey.
How sweetly all this chimes in with
the pompous talk of the Sewell
mouth pieces about a possible Repub-
lican victory in the Fall. 1t just
bears out what we have indicated re-
peatedly. that the Republican bosses
have no hope of carrying the State,
but have merely cast around for some
scheme by which they might reap
some crooked advantage out of the
result.

THE New York San says this morn
ing that General Sewell keeps Internal
Revenue Collector Klotz in office as a
bride to use his influence in the coun-
ellis of the Democracy so as to further
Republican aims.
Mr.. Klotz owes it to his honor and
manhood to promptly repudiate this
foul charge.

wedding Bells In "our Union"

William H. Dean, Of 'sOur Union" has
returned from his bridal trip and declares
marriage is not a failure. The "Our
Union' boys, however, pretend not to
take much stock in his opinion and say
that the silver rays of the honeymoon still
dazzle his eyes. 1t is whispered. how
ever, that Secretary Thomas +. Doland
will practically test the matter some time
in the near future, as his frequent visits
to the residence Of a pretty brunette on
Sherman avenue, the boys say, can mean
nothing else.

Benson's News Mine.

Our only competitor showed evidence
in its edition last Saturday night that
Editor Benson had been looking ove
the back numbers of THE JERSEY
City News. He announced that the
Presbytery might take a hand in the
controversy over the consolidation OF
the Bergen Presbyterian and the First
Presbyterian churches. He got that
from an issue of THE JERSEY CITY
NEWS of about three weeks ago.
He further announced that the
park site question might be made de-
pend upon the boulevard project. He
learned that from an interview with
Mr.. Thurston published in THE Sun
DAY MORNING NEWS of last Sun
day.
Brother Benson has evidently found
out where to find a mine of local news;
but why does he go SO far back in the
files on his fishing excursions? He
might have taken some fresh items
from Fridays paper.
In yesterdays too, he will find a
wealth of items with which to brighten
up todays E0eniRg Journal.
