The reason why a woman is afraid of
mouse is Il profound mystery-indeed, it has
never been very clearly proven that she is.
But some women are constantly in such Il
nervous, irritable condition that the slightest
thing annoys and startles them. The cause of
this unfortunate state of affairs is usually
some functional arrangement; some distress
ing Or painful irregularity, some dcrange-
ment or peculiar weakness incident to her
sex: or, it may be due to inflammation, ul-
ccration or displacement, OF some of the
pelvic vlsccra. or to other organic LESSONS

Gaming on the Hand.

A father sued an English school
master for assault because he had caned
his boy on the hand. Tho magistrate
before whom it was first tried thought
that tho father was right, for the rea-
SON that Gaming on the hand was at
tended by risk of injury, AMI there
were methods Of corporal punishment
quite as available, etficacious and not
necessarily attended with any risk
which the defendant might have used"
Tho higher court, though, decided that
It was not actional'le.

The chemise, In spite OF many ana
peremntory DEGREES OF baniShment. has
by no means disappeared. 1t has, how
ever, bowed to the storm. In one or
two important particulars 1t has re-
formed 1t is cut to fit the figure, with
breast pleats and followed outside

worn with low bodice, to which It's

TIE WORLD,S FAIR.

1t has boen an open secret for TWO or
three months past that the republican
leaders, both in New York and Wash
ington, have not been favorable to the
location of the worlds fair in New York
city. 1t has not been necessary hitherto
for these authorities to give an expression
to their opinions, and, except that they
have not hesitated to throw cold water
on the enterprise in private converse
ton, they have contented themselves
with remaining silent. But, now shat
definite action is called for, the faint
disguise is thrown off. If administra-
tive influence counts for anything
New York city will not have the honor
conferred upon it. None the less, the
influence of New York may be strong
enough to prevent the choice of a site
which its citizens would consider OBJ
iectionable, and for this reason it IL
altogether improbable that Chicago will

THE RASE BALL SUIT.

Though there is nothing decisive IN
Judge O'Briep's refusal to grant the in
junction prayed for 10y the New York
base ball club, to restrain MIR Ward
from going over to ia" brotherhood, his
decision is clearly point i'll the brother
hoods favor. The icaSue, under the
national agreement. made the player
sign contracts having in them the re-
serve clause, which gave the club the
right to retain his a~r> ICES for the fol-
lowing year at the e.sn.c salary as be-
fore, in spite of any o.Ier ut higher pay
he might have from other parties. If
he refused to play. then. under the
national agreement, he was debarred
from playing with any other profess
sional club in the country. and conse-
uuently Of his livelihood. If. under
this pressure he again consented to play,
a similar contract, with the same OBJ
noxlous clause in it. had to be signed.
Thus the reserve clause was used as the
means Of making the players practically
the slaves of the moneyed men in the
business of professional base ball. In
spite of tho fact that Judge O'Brier
recommends that the case be brough,
before a jury it will be practically inn
possible to find twelve unbiased mer
who would decide against the player in
such case.

More and moro money is spent on
underclothing every year. and while
not everybody has yielded to the craze
for color, it is seldom that a full or
elaborate outfit is supplied which does
not contain some colored pieces. There
arc still women who prefer linen
to silk, women rich enough to indulge
in every whim, and for them the most
exquisite webs are put on the market
of fine sheer grass linen which is made
up simply and daintily, without the sac
religious touch of the sewing machine.
Such garments are nearly always i'm.
ported, for few American necdicwomen
have patience or skill for the invisible
stitching. The trimming is always
hand wrought embroidery and real
laccs, narrow but valuable, for tho
women who buy such underwear have
no liking for the snowy, but demand
rather fine materials and garniture
which is unobtrusive, delicate and re.
fined. The days of lavish machine
wrought embroidery have gone by.

the date Of the execution, except that 1t will
be later than Tuesday The law requires
that lthree days notice be given the wit,

tions will be issued tomorrow and the execu-
tion take place Thursday. All stories con-
cerning the possibility of postponement on
account of the mental condition Of the con-
demned man, ,or possible Injunction against
the warden, are Of doubtful origin. 1t is be-
heyed the dynamo Is in working order and
there Is no probability and hardly a possi-
bility that the execution will not take place
this week. None Of the special representa-
tiVes OF Individual newspapers Will be adj
mitted to the jail on the day Of the execu-

platform 20 feet from the ground on a tele-
gragh pole directly across from the prison.
