MILITARY WOMEN.

BELvA LOCKWOOD has been looking
over Europe and has noted the appoint
ment of Queen VICTORIA as colonel of
German regiment. She thinks women
are appraised higher in America than
elsewhere, and asks why they cannot be
allowed to be colonies, majors or cap
tains in this country. To meet a class
of objections, she insists that these
positions are mere sinecures, the occu-
pants having only the requirement to
be ornamental and draw their salaries
regularly. There are no wars, and
hardly the possibility of any. In emer-
gencies armies are improvised, as In
the last unpleasantness. 1t is ad.
mitted that ladies acquire all needful
experiences as equestriennes, and they
can lead the columns on dress parade
with more than masculine grace and
facility. 1t is possible there would be
fewer assertions from the army if
ladies accomplished and fascinating
were in command. BELvA ran for
president, and she could command a
regiment quite as pleasantly as Col.
VICTORIA.

TICKET LIMITATIONS.

The attempts of the railroads to fix
limitations and conditions to tickets are
still put forth. although the results are
not such as would usually be regarded
as largely compensatory. One of the
shops that deal in reduced rate tickets
but day or two ago had full asSOrt-
ment of uncut books issued for news
paper advertising, non-transferrable, of
course. If the parties TO whom they
were issued gave value, as they pre-
sumably did in some form, there should
be no requirement for them to suffer the
loss if not able to make personal use of
them. The legends on the papers con-
tain q fairy tale menace of taking up
the tickets if in the hands of the wrong
parties. The Atlantic & Pacific has a
$4,000 law suit, and conductor is out
of employment by reason of blunder-
ing attempt to enforce this stipulation.
A man the other day by mistake took on
a trip a ticket made out in the name of
his daughter. but the cond u etor was
prudent enough not to do more than
threaten to eject him. 1t would seem
that this veXatious system of limitations
could be avoided without injury to the
roads,

TRAFFIC. COMPLICATIONS.

At the meeting of the Northwestern
Railway Traffic association to be held in
Chicago to-day, an effort will be made
to unravel the complications produced
by the late Burlington cut, and to de-
wise some plan by which our North
western railroad lines can be protected
against Canadian competition. This is
unqueStionably the gravest problem that
has ever been presented to the assocla-
ton for solution, and it is matter OF
good deal of speculation to know what
the result will be. Immediately after
the announcement of the Burlington
cut, and without waiting to have the
matter brought before his commission,
Judge COOLEY volunteered an opinion
which operated as temporary restraint
upon the waste of revenue proposed by
the 15-cent cut, yet it did nOtgive prom
Use of any permanent remedy. Ac-
cording to his Interpretation of the law,
which must be conceded to be correct,
if the Burlington l5-cent rate were per-
sisted in the commission would be COM
PEELED to reduce the local rates to the
basis that had been established. This
would be ruinOus to all roads operating
between st. Paul and Chicago, and yet
1t is a problem with these roads how
to get any share Of the through
freight at a higher rate when the
rate from New York to st. Paul
by the lakes and the $500" line is as
low as it is from New York to Chicago.
The only hope that the Northwestern
lines have is that they can get sufficient
concessions from the Eastern lines in
their through rates by means of which,
with such a reduction in their rates
from Chicago as will not destroy all the
local business, through rate may be
made which will allow the ail-raiIrOutes
to have some share of tine business
which the Canadian and lake lines are
now absorbing. Unless this arrange
ment can be made the lines now Operat-
ing between this city and Chicago will
be compelled to do strictly local bus
mess.
And yet we are not sure, if the North
western lines are forced to this latter
alternative, but what it will be fort
innate thing for them. 1t is noteworthy
fact that those railway lines winch nave
confined their operations to the building
up of local business have been more
prosperous than those that are engaged
in constant struggle for through traffic.
But whatever may be the policy agreed
upon by the meeting at Chicago to-day,
or whatever compromise may be effected,
the commercial interests of the Twin
the natural sympathy for lines that are
important feeders to our commerce we
have no interest in the outcome of these
complications. We already occupy
vantage ground from which we cannot
be removed. Chicagois naturally enough
disturbed over the situation, but it so
happens in this instance that what is
Chicago'S loss Is our gain.

proceeding now would be conSid.
cred a Vulgarism, for if there is
any one article in a fashionable
toilet which is not perfumed it is a
handkerchief. Hosiery and gloves slum-
Der in beds of sweet grass and rose
leaves; laceS, wraps and underwear
have their separate sachet pillows;
dresses ale hung among the bags Of
sweet clover that perfume every closet;
even bonnet boxes emit fragrant odors
when uncovered, and in the lining OF
many OvercOats the wadding is busted
with Orris, but not trace of scent hangs
about the sheer little square of lace
edged null.
The deficiency, however, is more than
counterbalanced by faint sweet odOrS
that linger about the folds and hem Of
dress skirts and the bows of ribbon pen
dant from jeweled carriers. Even
card cases and pocketbooks are per-
fumed, and SO is the small blotter
bought with fashionable stationery.
But these items are insignificant COM
pared with the cost of pertaining a
summer outfit, which requires the
service of a maid and an outlay equiya-
lent to that expended for gloves or
shoes.
For instance, there is the corSage
sachet, made of fine satin to match the
dress and filled with perfume too de-
llciOuS for description. The sacks,
which are an inch square, retail at 50 a
dozen, and it takes about twenty to go
round the edge of Josephine dress.
Of course every low corsage has to lie
satcheted, and if a belle cares to buy
them by the hundred she is charged at
the rate of so cents each. Another per
fume trick is to pour scent over the
hair just back of the crimps or friZzes.
Every woman rubs the stopper Of
her Scent-bottle across her lips and
eyebrows before leaving the mirror, and
the habit of dousing feather or satin

THE BOARD OF TRADE
Will Give Distinguished Guests a
Ride-The MONTHLY Meeting

Will Give Distinguished Guests a
Ride-The Monthly Meeting.
The board of trade met yesterday
morning. 1t was the monthly meeting
for September. The weekly meetings
begin next month. There was not
large attendance, only the alwayspres
ent members being there. Of course
this included Judge Atwater, FL. G. 0.
Morrison and C. j. Buel, trio without
which the board of trade would be
most uDinteresting body.
Judge Atwater begged more time for
the committee of which he is chairman
to draft the resolutions in honor of the
late treasurer of the board, Leandor
Gordon, and it was granted.
G. j. Buell., who is the bone and sinew
of Self-conStructed committee to look
after the matter Of taxation of indus
tries announced that very valuable in
formation would be served out to the
board some time in the future.
Secretary Hall read a communication
from the national board of trade that is
to meet at Louisville soon, asking the
Minneapolis board to send in subjects
on which they wanted information. to
be discussed. The board could think
of no subject upon which they were not
FULLY informed.
The chamber of commerce of st.
Louis asked for the Endorsement of the
board for that city as the site of the
worlds fair. The question was in a
fair way to be laid on the table, when
Judge Atwater sought more respect
full and thoroughly successful manner
of sinking it into oblivion by referring
it to the committee Oh legislation.
The convention for the consideration
of the national bankrupt law which ad-
journed at st. Louis last March to meet
in Minneapolis to-day was brought under
! discussion. Ali of the gentlemen were
! of the opinion that some special atten-
ton should be given the delegates.
After much discussion OH whether 1t
should be drive or banquet, the
drive was decided upon, ami w. E.
Steele and q. q. o. Morrison, Anthony
Kelly and A. j. Blethen were made a
committee TO provide carriages.
Judge Atwater, in the absence of the
governor of the state and the disability
of Mayor Babb, was appointed to make
an address of welcome to the conven-
ton. 81. G. o. Morrison and j. L..
Vicks were also appointed as delegates
to the convention.
The secretary was instructed to pur-
chase fifty copies of Minneapolis Illus
trated to send to proper applicants from
abroad.
Of course, it was out of the question
for the board to adjourn without G. j.
Buell. introducing some set of resotu-
tons. This time they were in the form
of request to the government that the
next census include statement of the
wealth of the people, how many owned
farms, homes, places of business, etc,
and how many of these were mortgaged.
The resolutions were turned over to the
committee OH city affairs, and the board
of trade adjourned.

SARAH BERNHARDT'S NERVE,
Held Her Husbands Body Before
Being Placed in His Coffin.

Copyright, 1889, by New York Herald
PARIS, Aug. 24.-Serah Bernhardt,
who has so W, nderfully imperSonated
death in all its phases, has just had
painful experience of its dread reality.
On the occasion of the funeral of her
husband, Damala, report was spread
by the Rappel to the effect that when
the body was carried down to tn Q
ground floor of the house the coffin was
found to be too small and it took an hour
to make it large enough.
During the operation, said the report,
the body was placed in an arm chair.
and Bernhardt had the courage to sup
port the head on her shoulder. The
whole sight was blood-eurdling upon
those present. In consequence of this
statement DIR. Gannal, the physician
who Superlntended the embalming OF
the body, has written the following let
ter to the editor of the Rappel:

have taken place at the funeral of NJ

rorS. The coffin was of proper size, but
on account of the difficulty of lowering
it from the first to the ground floor I
proposed to Sarah Bernhard to leave it
down stairs and bring down the body in
an arm chair. The body was not i'm
mediately placed in a coffin simply be-
cause, according to the Greek rite, the
latter had to be blessed by a priest be-
forehand. 1t was then that Sarah Bern
hardt held her husbands head. This
ceremony over and the body having been
placed in the coffin with visage uncOv-

toned, which caused Bernhard to shed
abundant tears.
mime. Bernhardt's courage was even
greater than was stated in your paper,
for she was present during the whole
process of embalming, which was most
trying on account of the advanced state
of decomposition of the body, and she
insisted upon herself arranging her hms-
bands hair ard beard as he used to
wear them during his Iife."

EXPECT AN OUTBREAK.
Scotland Yard Detectives and
Troops Ready for a Fight.

LONDON, Sept. 2.-The authorities
are in hourly expectation of an out
break among the strikers, and the most
careful preparations have been made to
meet it. Scotland Yard detectives are
circulating among the men so as to Sc
cure the promptest information of
the first move in the direction
of organized violence. while the
reserve police are distributed as
to be within call of any point likely to
be threatened. Troops, too. have been
quietly concentrated at stations near
the shipping. where it is expected their
services will be first called upon. and
altogether the authorities will be found
fully prepared in the event of serious
disturbances. Mrs. Gladstone visited
the scene af the strike yesterday and
gave a check for the relief of the
strikers. The ofio ials of the commercial
dock are refusing to admit more vessels
for fear of liability for damurrage.
