Flavored vinegars are great conven-
ience to the housekeeper, and being

OUR CHARMING GIRLS.
In Variety of Attractions the America
Girl Beats the World.

oiTi Dehts the NoTlus
The beauty of American girls is a
much-discussed question. It's said they
have no distinct points, but it seems to
me that any one who has travelled must
easily have settled upon the salient
points which go to make up the beauty
of an American girl. A general deli
cacy Of outline as we'll as coloring is de-
manded. A woman with very large
eyes and no other charms Is never rated
as beauty here. When a woman is
said to be beautiful in America it means
that she has face nodded in delicate
lines, features that are thoroughly har-
monious, figure which is neither pro-
nouncedly athletic nor too plump, and
small hands and feet. In England If
woman is six feet two, and broad across
the shoulders, she is invariably spoken
of in the society papers as beautiful,
though her feet may outclass the iron
clad and her knuckles stretch widely
abroad.
In Italy and Spain pair Of big, ex-
pressive eyes are enough; but in Amer
lea thoroughly-balanced series of at
fractions must be shown to win the title.
American girls form lofty, gay, in
trepid and dashing army, whose audac.
ity should be feminine. They have all
of the athletic look of the English
woman, without the ill-fitting gloves
and ponderous boots. The assumption
of semi-masculine attire robs them of
their greatest charm. Womanliness Is
still the most attractive quality of
woman. ILLUSTRATED American.

ants, including the gardener and coach
man, had been granted permission to
attend a friends wedding, some few
miles off, and were not to return until
the next day.
1t flashed across her mind that the
man, who, as she knew, had been loiter-
ing about the eighborhood for two or
three days, had learned that she would
be alone, and meant to rob the house
and perhaps murder her If his project
of robbery could not be executed with
,Tnut The psrpetration of the greater
Scrime.
What was to be done? Again she
glanced toward the mirror. The eyes
were still there, glaring at her through
fthe gloom. All at once she remembered
that revolver belonging to her hus-
band, the Baron Won Rhaden, ought to
be lying on shelf in the dining-room,
abut she was not quite sure.
'Jf it is there and could only get

While she was rejecting knock was
heard on the door OF the room. She saw
the dark man instantly draw back into
the cupboard and close 1t after him.
She felt relieved that those two horri-
BILE eyes were taken off her; they seemed
TO pierce her like daggers.

tered.

about ten o'clock she was sitting there
in bedroom. Her chair was placed
before her toilet table, which was light
ed by wax taper on each side of the
glass. The two tapers were not suffi-
'cient to illuminate the room very brill
liantly, and the farther end lay buried
in sort of semi-obscurity.
Nine. Lucca was busy reading some
. letters concerning engagements when
suddenly she imagined she heard a
noise. She looked round, but seeing
nothing concluded she had made mis-
take, and resumed the perusal Of the
letters. She had forgotten the noise,
when she heard it again.
This time, instead of looking round,
she happened, without moving her
head, merely to raise her eyes to the
glass. She beheld reflected in it the
face of man peering cautiously from
out cupboard behind her.
At first she fancied she was dreaming.
She quietly looked again. No, it was
no dream. There was man, whom she
now recognized as having been former
Iy in her service, whence he had been
discharged for general bad behavior.
She had also suspected him of purloin-
ing several objects which she had
missed from time to time, but not being
certain on that point she had kept her
suspicious to herself. Yes, there he
was; there could be no mistake.
Nine. Lucca's first impulse was to
start up and give the alarm. But there
was not another habitation within a
mile or two, and she recollected that
she only person besides herself in the
house was her maid, who, though very
good girl and extremely attached to
her mistress, was by no means cele-
brated for her nerve. The other serv-

SWORN TO SECRECY.

Keep Their Own Counsel.

Keep Their own Counsel.
At o'clock this morning the Street
Car Brotherhood met at the New Market
Hall with nearly eveiy member present
The greatest secrecy was observed.
Before u o'clock an appeal was made to
Sergeant Cosby, in charge of the police
station opposite, for men to prevent
eavesdropping. The Sergeant informed
them that the street-car men were at
liberty to meet as they chose and that If
there was any disorder the police would
be on hand, bat that be had nothing to
do with maintaining the secrecy OF q
meeting.
At half past / o'clock three of the
brotherhood applied at the station-houee
for police to drive a DISPATCH reporter
from on the pavement in front OF the
hall. This, like the former request, was
refused.
Roll-call disclosed the fact that 1S5
men were present.
There was considerable discussion on
the list Of grievances published last
week, which it appears were never sub
mitted to the brotherhood and were en-
tirely unauthorized. As a result all of
the men were sworn to secrecy.
No further information of definite
character could be obtained this morn
ing. All of the men said that in a week
or ten days they would be ready to make
their proceedings public.
One who is in a position to know
says this means that a simultaneous
demand will be made upon all the car
lines in Richmond, and If this is not
granted general tie-up will result.
At 3:l5 this morning the meeting was
still in session, with no prospect OF adj
! lournment for some time to come.

WASHINGTON, ID. g.. October 2I-The
first motion TO secure initial action from
the Supreme Court of the United States
on the question of the constitution
atty Of the New York ELECTRICAL
execution law was made in the SUI
preme Court to-day. IL was moved
that the case bo advanced and set
down for a speedy hearing. The
point raised in the case is that kemmler s
execution demonstrated that killing ny
electricity is a cruel and unusual punish
ment, and as such prohibited by the
Constitution. After counsel had made the
motion Chief-Justice Fuller asked: us
there any distinction between that case
and the case of Kemmler?" Daniel
O'Callahan, who was the lawyer who
made the motion, responded: eyes, sir,
this distinction-that the carrying ont OF
the sentence in the kemmler case was
not scientifically successful, and the Pc
titioner hopes that electricity will be de-
cided TO be not proper mode" The
Chief Justice 1--WE will take the pa
pers.
The case in which the motion to adj
vance was made is tlat OF the japanese
Shibuya Jugiro against A. A. Bush,
agent. warden of the New York penl-
tertiary. Jugiro is under the sentence
of death for the crime of murder, and
it is proposed to kill him by means OF
electricity, as is provided for by the
law of the State Of New York. Counsel
both for the State and for the prisoner
concur in the motion to advance. There
have been several stays OF execution
already in Jugiro's case, and another
will undoubtedly be necessary, as the
case can hardly BIO decided before the
time last fixed for his death.
4 motion was made to-day in the Su-
preme Court to advance three ha6eaS-
corpus cases growing ont Of the arrest OF
the proprietors of original-package es-
adjustments in Kansas for violating the
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES. The point raised
is that il was necessary for Kansas to re-
enact its prohibition law after the pas
sage Of the original package law by Con-
gress in order for it 10 become of effect
as against the selling of original pack
aces. The Chief Justice announced
that the Court would not decide the mo-
ton until the vacancy caused by Justice
Miller's death had been filled.
