Rev. Marion D. Shutter, of Minneap-
olis-The McHale bill is too sweeping.
| think it would be we'll to abolish the
ballet altogether, but if the bill intends
to prohibit such women as Agnes Hunt
ington and Marie Wainy tight from TAX
ing the part of men and dressing ac-
cordingiy, or if it is intended to inter
fere with the ordinary costume of the
chorus girl, it is piece of prudish non
sense. While the seator was about it he
ought to have gone little further. If
he was bound to go as far as he did,
while providing for covering the chorus
girls ankle, he ought to have made pro-
vision for protecting the society wom-
ans neck.

! dream of McHale and tirhts Fue,

l dream of McHale and tights. Every
man see fancy is little tight, and
the voices of all the women of st. Paul
calling the bill perfectly ridiculous"
rings in my ears. have found but two
women who consider the bill master
piece of wisdom. OLe is ALI actress
who objects to tights on hygienic
grounds, and the other is woman who
considers the ballet very, very wicked.
She has never seen it: but that doesn't
matter, for she knows it is wicked, lust
the same. There is to an ordinary
woman something veiS humiliating in
the idea that the most beautiful creation
of all nature is inherently vulgar and
only suggests evil thoughts to the be-
holder. Prudery is only immodesty
masquerading, and to the pure all
things are pure. Let Mr.. McHale and
his followers HE themselves to some
vast wilderness and endeavor to fu-
migate their moral selves, and remem-
Der that the universal verdict of st.
Pail women is, Evil to him who evil

smiled. Il think it ridiculous that men
of sense who are sent to make the
states laws should waste their time i'm
such nonsense. L feel almost as if
l could write an editorial about it my
self. 1t is very unjust to class all
actresses who wear tights with the low
est of their sex. There may be, and no
doubt are, immoral women on the stage,
but the majority of actresses are as good
women as the majority Of women off the

The present senate of the state of

really think it would be a pity to de-
prive the ladies of seeing the ballet"
she said, ''for we're quite as fond
OF 1t as the men are. A beautiful human
hgure is the most beautiful thing ID
the world, and | like to see finely
folmed man or woman on the stage
just as like to see magnificent thor

never seen any harm in the wearing of
tights, and am quite sure there are
modest and pure women who wear
them. L don't think all actresses should
be claSsed alike, for many of them are
very good women, indeed"
at Senator Davis house, not long
ago, there was quite spirited discus
sion OF the notorious bill. The princi-
pal opponent of it was Miss Moore,
charming young woman from Washing
ton, who is to spend the summer with
Mrs. Davis. She is of Louisiana fam
lily and birth, fact which she betrays
III several charming ways. Her com-
pleXion has the coloring of Southern
blonde women, her mouth heats the
English language kindly, rounding off

of her height. Her eyes snapped. II
think the bill is-absurd," she said. "It
is the most charming thing imaginable
to see beautiful form. There is no rea-
son why woman should not wear tights
II the role demands it. There are plays
ana operas where mans part must be
played by woman. Siebel, in Faust"
is always sung by woman to preserve
the artistic completeness of the OPERA"
MISS Moore is herself musician, and
has very flexible soprano voice. "The
bill will deprive us of all the plays where
a girl wears boys disguise, for trous-
ers certainly show the shape of the
are left to US, or bIoomerS, which are
much more suggestive than tights"
Mrs. Cook, of Summit avenue, thinks
the bill disgrace to Minnesota, and
says it has made us the laughing Stock
of all the country. Mrs. j. l.. Lathrop
Jr. thinks it an insult to the common
sense of the state. Miss Blakely thinks
it too absurd to be seriously talked OF.
Some one said to a young woman who
is studying Delsarte that her costume
must De changed ana DelSarte Shelved.
"Oh, no, indeed" she retorted, del
sarte, you know, is not tight-its loose"
Mrs. L. n. Scott laughed when men,
toned the bill to her. Il really think
the other end of women's attire, and
that, too, not altogether on the stage,
requires more legislation than tights.

Mr. Frick Charges Labor Leaders with Making
Tools OF the Foreigners.
PITTsBUR6, April Al. c. Frick made
statement to-day in reply to an interview
published with ex-Secretsry Watchorn. OF
the miners organization. In which the lat
ter charged Mr.. Frick with having import
cd thousands of foreigners, promising them
q sort of Utopia. Mr.. frick says: Il I'm
self nor our company nor any one on its be-
half. directly or indirectly, assisted, pro-
cured or requested any man to emf
crate to this country, and 1T Mr.: Watcnorn
or any of his associates challenged this
statement in any particular. we arc pre-
pared for the fullest examination. Al
though the violence committed in the
vicinity of our works has been mainly
by foreigners the public knows that these
people are simply the tools working out the
using these men to accomplish their works
of violence is but q repetition OF former
acts In every strike In the coke region
these are the men who have been used and
found to be plant tools whenever violence
is to be done. The public should not allow
itself to be blinded to the real authors of
the present trouble. The controversy is
now not one between our company ana It's
employees, but 10 between the lawful au-
thority OF our commonwealth and mob OF
demagogues. This breach of the peace
and violation of the law of our land Is not
the result of sudden gush of uncontrolla-
BILE passion. but 10 the result of deep-lald
scheme and well-planned attempt to over
ride the authority of our State.
Not the foreigners who are advised that
their living depends upon their resort to
violence are to blame for this, but those
who gave that advice ore culpable. They
have called meetings of these foreigners
and have melted them by incendlary
speeches, well knowing that whom excited
they will resort to violence. and then try to
exonerate themselves by saying that this
foreign element has gotten beyond their
control. 1t needs no argument to show
that this violation is the result of such acts.
and the public press and the lawful au-
thority of our State should fix on them the
responsibility, rather than upon the de-
luded foTelQners"

An Opium lIa uI.

Chief Ryan and Ben Hyde rai6e an opium joint last night, belonging to Hop Lee. Two pipes and good amount of the drug were secured. Hop was the only one captured, the balance of the inmates escaping from back door. The accused was brought into court this morning and the com. plaint read to him. When asked if he pleaded guilty or not guilty, he wished to make statement and said: "Me lockee door, smokee ale time; me no sabe nudder man smokee." This was little too thin however and seeing the apparent indifference with which Judge Staniger and Counselor Staehle looked upon this yarn, and the know ing look on the chiefs face, he con- cluded to plead guilty. Thirty dollars and costs" said his honor. "Twenty dolla befo; what io thlity dolla now% said Kee. The explanation was given him that $500 was the limit but that he would be allowed to settle for ten cents on the dollar, but that he would have to make the city the assignee of his outfit. This staggered him and he gszed at the wood pile. As visions of the chain gang grew more realistic the money was forthcoming but he left his pipes and paraphernalia pend- ing decision by the city attorney re- garding the matter.

Tobacco Reb ,te.

The act providing for a rebate on tobacco and snuff in original packages in the hands of dealers on January next and which was passed to supply an omission in the Mckinley tariff law, was approved by the President on Monday last. Already regulations for the enforcement of the act have been prepared by the Commissioner of h. ternal Revenue. According to pub- lishcd description of the general char acter of these regulations, it appears that the terms "original and unbroken factory packages" used in the act are held to mean stamped packages, 50 that a package of smoking tobacco containing one ounce if it bears a stamp is to be regarded as an original factory package. The rebate equals two cents a pound, and as no claim of less amount than $5 will be valid all dealers and manufacturers whose stock of unbroken stamped packages is less than 250 pounds will be excluded All claims under the act must be filed with collectors on or before March ?, 1891. Stamps bought at the Sc rate and unused will be exchanged or re- deemed at the Treasury Department.
 Many Tombstone merchants are making an inventory of their tobacco stocks preparatory to making a claim according to the new law. It is esti- mated that rebates will return to Tombstone merchants an amount az gragating over $500.
