The dress reform movement i:
afoot in London. 1t will be remem
bered that the WOmen's Congress
held in Washington a couple o
months ago, appointed commits
sion to devise n rational business
dress for women; also that the sub
ject was dropped and apparently
forgotten Immediately after. The
commission, however, was given 8
year to consider the subject, and is
perhaps, now wrestling with it in
the seclusion of some dressmaker's
inner sanctum, or in some ethico
sartorial studio. 1t is in the limits
of possibility, though scarcely OF
credibility, that it will astonish the
world next winter with a neat, sen
siLle, inexpensive dress design
which will be adopted by the We
men for whom it is intended, but
let us not anticipate.
Meanwhile the Rational Dres,
Society is holding an exhibition in
London, which has set all society,
without "a qualifying adjective, to
talking. Its leaders are Lady Sand
hurst, Lady Harberton, Mrs. Oscar
Wilde and other ladies of great re
spectibility, and its aim is said to be

sists of breyity of skirt, quality of
underdress and shortness of upper
drapery,"
We trust this description is intel
ligible to the prospective wearers of
the drapery. 1t is somewhat con-
fusing to the masculine mind, and
it prefers not to take any chances by
attempting any remarks in the ma
ture of criticism. 1t hopes the pro-
posed costume is rational, and re-
grets to read the report that society
evinces no disposition to do any
thing but talk about 1t. We all
know what happens to any person
or thing that is talked about by So
ciety. The correspondent who re-
ports the exhibition says: THE
mode most approved by the adher-
ents of the society is that of Syrian
trousers and II full blouse of silk
over a velvet Zouave bodice. La
dies crowd the exhibition hall to
look at and admire the new combl-

THE MoHIcAN's ORDERS.
SAN FRANCISCO, May 15. Orders
heve been received at Mare Island
to get the wooden steam cruiser
Mohican ready for sea as fast as
possible, and the officers at Mare
Island make no secret of the fact
that she is under orders to proceed
TO the southern waters as fast as
steam and sail can drive her. AL
though II is stated that the Mohican
Is going down to Central America
to relieve the Ranger, now on that
still no one on board of her
believes this to be the case, as orders
have been issued for supply of pro-
Visions far in excess of her real
needs, and every pound of coal that
can be taken on board of her will be
slowed away IN her bunkers. 1t Ia
believed at Mare Island
that the United States government
has decided to concentrate as large |
a fleet as possible In Chilian waters,
where II will remain until the war
3 over, and this belief Is strength
med by the fact that the Mohican
will carry a quantity of shells which
AN only be used by the Charleston
n San Francisco, and which would
rot be sent down on her If the vessel
vas going no farther south than
CENTRAL America. 1t is further
tated tnat the Pensacola is also on
Ter way TO Chilli. Both the Pensa-
ola aud the Mohican have seen
heir best days, and both are armed
With old-fashioned smooth bore guns
which would make a poor showing
Igainst the modern ordnance carried
" the Chilian cruisers. Yet at
lose quarters either would, no
loubt, make things very interesting
or any Of the Chilian lighting ships.
N spite Of all that can be done, Il Is
believed that the Mohlcan will not
'e ready to leave before Saturday at
he earliest. IL Is not known what
'orts she will touch at on the way
Iown, but no doubt she will call at
Panama and possibly
'ayta. The Mohioan Is not u fast
hip, and at her best speed 1t viii
AXE fifiy days 10 reach Callao,
Without counting the days spent In

tremely rosy account Of bis distin-
guished father-in-law's condition.
When approached by reporter and
asked about the secretary's health,
Mr.. Damrosch started in by declar-
ing that 1t was excellent, but further
inquiry showed that to be an exag-
gerated statement. 1t is a matter OF
fact that Blaine is In no condition to
take part in business consultations.
He receives no visitors, and the
state department officers have in
structions to send 10 mail. The sec
retary has not been out Of his bed
room since the musical festival last
week and It is doubtful IL he has
been out of his bed. His health
has been bad for sometime, and be
is now very sick man. Indeed
he has been in no condition to work
during several months past. Tbose
who have kept close watch Of
him in Washington have re-
marked that since the beginning
of the year he has been absent
from the state department more
days than he attended there,
and when he did go to the depart
ment his stay was very short. He
has done most of his work during
the past four or five months in the
privacy of his own house, and
he has done it either
lying In bed or reclining in an easy
chair propped up all around with
cushions"

Of being an officer Of court. The
only radical remedy which suggests
itself to us, is the entire prohibition

A woMAN's POLITICAL FORESIGHT.
She Wins Two Wagers From Her Sweet
heart on an Election.
Milwaukee Evening Wisconsfn.I

She Wins Two Wagers From Her Sweet
heart on an Election.
Milwaukee Evening Wisconsin,
The friends of a very bright West Side
young lady tell with good deal of enjoy
ment campaign story in which she figures.
Before the Democratic convention the young
lady, whose cleverness enabled her to scan
the political horizon with the glance of a
statesman, made a wager with a young man
of her acquaintance that G. W. Peck would
be the nominee for Governor. Then, think
ing that she was taking an unfair advantage
of him, because she considered it glaringly
apparent that she would win, she attempted
to square things by making another bet that
he would be elected.
~ The young man was Democrat, bu. be
took the second bet for the purpose of
"hedging." Their surprise was mutual on
the morning of November when the young
man found that instead of hedging" he
had doubled up his bet. He promptly paid
both wagers, and the young lady, still bent
upon squaring things, presented to him, as
q souvenir OF the occasion, copy of "Peck's
Boss Book" On the fy-leaf she wrote the
following witty inscription: 'The Earl of
Beaconsfeld used literature to rise in pol
itics; let us pray-in German only-that
George W. Peck may use politics to rise in
literature.
