as we'll as in the Sultanas' palace the
orthodox Ottoman garments are worn,
although when the ladies go out. which
they always do in carriages under es.
cort, more modern styles are affected.
Victoria Augusta sat on an eXqulsitely
upholstered divan and ,chatted pleas
antly for an hour with the Sultanas,
while ebony skinned Nubian slaves
waited on them with refreshments.
She had q glimpse, too, of some of the
amusements Of the harem, and the
sweetest singers sang and the finest
musicians played for her qualification.
Like others who have been privileged
with a glimpse of the inner life of the
seraglio, she noted the indolent luxury
of the women, their love of friends and
their passion for knowledge concerning
the outer world.
She received the impression that a
majority of the women were compare
lively happy and contented With their
surroundings, ambition and the quail
ties that belong to higher intelligence
being found among the Sultanas only.
some OF Jne ldJlGl, she discovered, were
in no wise behind European ladies in
education and feminine accomplish

departure for home, the Emperor Wis

their great religious ceremonies. A

Shoes Are n Blnnder.

Few people know how to take good
care of the feet" said Miss Moffett, the
physician chiropodist of Detroit, as she
sat in low, cushioned chair and held a
lady's foot in her lap. "All feet are not
perfect by any means, but it is always
the bad fit of a shoe that produces
corns, bunions and otherinjuries which
affiict the feet. do not believe that it
was ever intended that shoes should be
worn. The ancients believed this, for
they wore sandals"
"Whv should sandals be worn ?"

breathe. The great toe You see is on a
line with the arch of the foot, and

others. The ball of The foot and the heel
serve as two pillars to balance the arch,
which is bridge to the body. Every
step that we take that arch elongates
like the springs of a buggy. A high
heeled shoe throws the whole structure
out OF balance because we cannot raise
one part without making false foun-
dation. We are taught to consider the
pointed shoe beautiful, but how can it
be beautiful when the foot is thrown
ont of proportion? People cannot walk,
they can only hobble."
Have YOU many customers with NAL
proportional feet?"
All my patients have trouble with
their feet or they would not need my

Ar recent meeting Of the Western
Microscopical Club, of London, Prof
Stewart remarked that while we ey-
pect to find the ears upon the head in
the larger animals, we look in vain for
the same arrangement in the lower in
vertebrate creatures. Many Of these
like the scallop, have no head others,
like crabs and Holsters, have their ears
placed on their horns or antenuu
others, like the green grasshopper
have the ear ON the foreleg others, like

GEN. BUFFERS TALK.
The Hearing Yesterday on the Proposed
Georgetown Freight Line.

At the hearing yesterday before the District
Commissioners of persons interested in the pro-
posed amendment to the ball to charter the
Georgetown barge, dock and elevator COM
pany, after DIR. Allen concluded his remarks in
opposition to the proposed amendment Mr. j
Harrison johnson. the chairman Of the citizens
association Of South Washington spoke, saying
he approved everything DIR. Allen had said and
wound up by remarking tina; the people of
South Washington had enough railroads already.
Gen. Butler then spoke. He said he appeared
in behalf of Mr.. Henry II. Dodge, who was a
large stock holder.
Mr.. Dodge interrupted him and said that he
had sold out.
Mr. John A. Baker declared that Mr.. Dodge
resigned from the road because he couldn't be
president.
Mr.. Dodge denied this and said that he re-
signed because he had been deceived by sup
posed friends.
Gen. Butler said he thought the question be-
longed TO Congress and not to the Commission
ers. He said further that he did not think the
Commissioners would grant any more railroads
permission to occupy the street; that the os-
tensible purpose OF the amendment was to
permit the company to run freight rail-
bridge, when the real idea was to
use the line as passenger railroad.
He went into review of the history of Wash
ington and referred to the fact that it was not
the intention Of Gen. Washington to have the
streets barricaded, and he put circles in the
streets at all angles to prevent such q thing
He said that he hoped that all south Of Penn
syivania avenue would become park. He said
ne opposed any more railroads there.

THE EIGHT.HOUR LAW.
Provisions OF the Bill Reported by the
House Committee on Labor.

Ever since the eight-hour law came into ex-
istence it has been subject to msconstruction
and misapplicaton. As stated in yesterday
STAR, the House committee on labor has re-
solved to put an end to distortions of the
statute, and the following measure has been re-
ported by Chairman Wade. The amendatory

eight-hour law on government premises" is
practically the one drafted and submitted to
the commit tee by Mr.. John L. Kennedy of Co.

nary emergency which may arise in time of
war. or in cases where it may be necessary to
work more than eight hours per calendar day
to construct public works, as provided for in
section OF this act, preserve property, or pre-
vent the destruction OF human life.
Sectlon That whenever any contract is
made by or on behalf of the government of
the United States with any corporation, per-

BARRIERS AND THEIR BOSSES.
Secret Meetings Going On-The Ques-
tiOn Of Early Closing.

The barber who has or will shave YOU today
will probably be considering deep political
schemes. He may seem careless and gay. The
razor may be poised with the usual graceful
air. Light. airy conversation may flow, as
usual, from his lips He may, as usual, remark
affectionately that your hair is get
ting a little thin on top and then
as a careless aside remark that "Benzine"
hair tonic is an excellent fertilizer for spring
hair. In short all may seem as usual, but
your barber is at the same time thinking great
big chunks of thought. If he runs the estab-
lishment and is boss barber he was at a
secret conclsve night before last where various
schemes we're discussed, although just what is
not known. II he is a jOurneyman barber he
was at the Philadelphia house on Pennsylvania
avenue last night, deep in the discussion Of
how and by what means he could better his
condition.
THE CONTROVERSY.
Just what is the trouble is rather hard to
define, but as near as can be arrived at is about
as follows: Many Of the BARRIERS, both journey
men and bosses, are members of the District
BARRIERS union, which is in utilization with the
knights OF Labor. A large number of the
Journeymen BARRIERS, however, are not men,
Ders OF the union or, being members, fail in
their attendance and interest, the result
being that although largely IN the
majority so far numbers 60
the journeymen complain that the bosses con-
troll the action of the union. This they allow
is through their negligence in attendance and
the meeting last night was called for the pur-
pose of seeking some remedy. 1t was proposed
TO form an association and by means of it draw
the laggards back into the folds of the union.
THE CLOSING HOUR.
rumor of one of the actions of the boss
BARRIERS at their meeting the night before
caused CONSERVATION and anger among the
fifty or sixty delegates gathered before the
meeting. Journeymen BARRIERS at present get
80 per cent OF their receipts and are expected
to work until O'Clock. 1t was said that at the
meeting the night before resolutions we're
passed that an attempt be made to fix the clos
ing hour at 9 clock.
AN INCREASE OF PAY.
The ting last night was held with closed
doors and The STAR reporter was obliged to
sorrowfully withdraw without seeing all the
walls of wrath poured out. Resolutions were,
however, passed demanding an increase in the
proportion paid the journeymen to 60 per cent
and calling on the employers to close the shops
for the two hot months at pm.

Discussing Their Hobbies.
