COUNTY OFFICIAL PAPER.
A SAFE PROPOSITION.

The Carson Appeal charges that last
Fall every paper in the State, except
the Prohibitionist, w"s in favor Of tn.
lottery amendment. They were ccm-
mirted wholly and unequivocally to the
measure" says tue Appeal, land urged
it in behalf of the State. It was urged
as n measure OF public good nad self
protection" The Appeal closes its
philippe AS follows:
"To my paper showing single line
against the lot cry scheme, published
III its columns prior to January LIST,
1899. we retract our statement and
present our humble apologies in adj
vance"
A very safe proposition; for We all
know TINT the subject was not aGituted
previous to Jan. l. 1889. The Appeal
in the same article. charges that the
INDEPENDENT supported the lottery
scheme last Fall. Now, it is vel
lnown that the subject of lottery was
not presented to the people last Fell;
the subject was not discussed, and
there WAS no occasion for any paper to
take sides either for or against the
measure. The Appeal is perfectly safe
in challenging any paper to show n
single line against the lottery scheme,
prior to Jan. ], 1889.

Fashion FIFTY Years Ago.

Few ladies who follow the fashions, :"
or who consult the hundred and one
fashion periodicals poured out from the
press every month and every year, have
any idea of the extreme simplicity of
the patterns Of female attire which were
in vogue fifty and even forty years ago.
1t is sufficient to say that the bodice
and the skirt of the dress were gener-
ally in one piece; that the gown fas-
tened in hooks and eyes behind; that
the skirts We're never" draped," and that
their sole Commentator was nothing
but founces.
The only practical way in which a
lady could show that she was in full
dress was to show low-necked dress
and to bare her arms. Moreover,
bodices We're, when made low, univer-
sally cut horizontally instead of on the
bias, and the female novelists of the last
generation found unfailing material of
fun in depicting the torments of grow
ing girls at evening parties in their en-
deavors to prevent their low-necked
frocks from slipping off their shoulders.
When a lady went to court she
gloritied herself with a train, tall
"panache" of plumes and as many Ola
monds as fortune had favored her with !;
otherwise the cut Of her gown did rot
materially differ from that of the
schoolgirls low-necked muslin frock.

Ne,c York Wo,,.en of Fashion.

New York women are, as a rule, very
charitable and very Industrious. They
have, through the season, often fifteen
invitations for one day. Such life
creates the necessity for order, system,
and good management, to even meet
half their engagements, The type Of
the lazy, indolent, voluptuous Countess
Castiglione, is wanting. There are no
lazy women in polite society, who are of
the least Importance.
The greatest number of New York
fashionable women are doing their part
in society honorably and we'll. They
bring up their daughters carefully.
They make their girls healthy, accom-
plished and we'll bred. They tame
down the too exuberant spirits, and the
New York young girl is model.
Perhaps they have not had as good
luck with their sons. Some critic calls
the young man of fashion selfish and
impolite, either cold and polished cynics,
ora mixture of the dude and the cad"
This is too exaggerated and too absurd.
All New York young men may not be
exactly glittering prizes, but some Of
them are. The ideal gentleman may be
hard to find anywhere, but, as class,
the fashionable young men of New
York are neither ignoble nor useless.
They may not be always as courteous as
theg ought to be, but they are as class
nice, handsome, agreeable young men,
destined to lie good citizens.

evening last week party started out.

the boat, driving the men on the upper

struck the wheel house and other parts

The Well-Firett Wife Hou11s't s,.pncxt ..
Lazy Hass5o,.d.

Not many years ago one of our sub
urbs was thrown into State Of great
agitation by the separation of married
couple. says the Pittsburgh Commercial
Gazette. They seemed to be living hap
PLY and getting along nicely, with the
exception that the husband was con-
stantly out of a job.
This, however, was far from being q
source of worriment to him, as his wife
was we'll fixed.
She took different view of the case
and gave him timely notice to quit or
get some employment by which he
could keep himself. He pretended to
hunt for work, but always came in with
the same story.
when the time was up she packed his
grip, gave him money enough get out
Of town, and bid him goodbye.
He didn't think she would. do it, but
when he found she was in earnest he
quietly submitted.
when I married him." she said, in
defense of her action, she was getting a
good salary. I had enough to keep my
self and was willing to do my share to
build up home. He lost his situation
q year ago through negligence. Feel
ing 4hat he had me to fall back on he
didn't care whether he worked or not.
Time went on and my efforts to get
him to go to work We're fruitless.
Then it was that I made up my mind
that he would do no good as long as
L had dollar. Several times he
wanted to go into speculations on my
capital and got very grumpy because I
wouldn't consent.
Seeing that hadn't enough to keep
both of us I concluded that he could
make out better than 1 in tussle with
the world. I sent him out.
sit was an act of self-preservation for
myself and children. Had he remained
we soon would have been on the verge
of want. As it is the children and are
certain Of comfortable living. Had he
shown disposition to help support us
I would like to have had him remain"
Was she right?
The verdict was Utmost unanimously
in her favor. There were some who
held that she was as much bound to
him as he to her, and that it was her
duty to share her fortune with him.
This was the moral view of the case.
From humane standpoint her action
was approved by all. Had her husband
been cruel-hearted or dissipated she
would have more sympathy, but under
the circumstances it was conceded to be
a shrewd and legitimate business trans
action.
Now that the deposed husband has
settled down to business in one of the
territories, and has a bank account, it
looks very much as if his wife had done
the proper thing.
What the sequel will be is past find
ing out at present, but it will depend
entirely on the degree of affection ex-
isting between them. If it is of the
strong, deep sort they will probably
come together again.

eighty carloads OF California fruit
handled in New York. This year the
total shipment to the eastern market
will be about two hundred carloads.

4 PRACTICAL SUGGESTION.


One of the most remarkable features
of outrages by the police is the apathy
shown by the Police Commissioners.
They seem to regard drunken and bru-
tai policemen as their special proteges.
Very frequently no punishment is in
ficted on cowardly clubbers, and when
there is punishment it is invaribly in
ficted with the soft end of the broom.
The tenderness of the police commits.
sioners in applying remedy for this
crying evil is very similar to that of q
fond mother whose favorite son was a
terror to the neighborhood. A gentle
man entered her house with large
bruise on his forehead.
Madame he said, "a boy who 1 am
told IS your son has just thrown a
stone at me, causing this painful
wound. What is going to be done
about it, Madame?"
81 don't know. Have you tried ar
nica?"
If the Police Commissioners We're
asked what is to be done about such
cases as Policeman Hogan, who
dubbed Henry Muller, they would
probably reply with complacency, I'VE
don't know. Have you tried the hospl-
tai or the morgue?'
