Regarding LnteuonrS.

Whatever other lessons / may
teach my sons, said sensible wo-
man, there Is one bit of instruction
that will not be forgotten, and that Is
TO go homo at reasonable hours.
There are more scandals, more an
noyances and more damaged reputa-
tions caused by late callers than by
any other one social mistake In the
world. A gentleman calls upon u
lady. He enjoys her society and
presumably she enjoys his, or she
would not invite him. When the hour
grows late he does not Incline To go.
and the lady scarcely feels like hint
ing that his absence is desirable, and
20 he stays. Possibly he hints that IL
Is time he was going when she, for
cour tesy's sake. says: "Oh. it's not
very late YETI and, although she most
ardently wishes that he would leave,
he settles himself for another hour
chat. and remains until there Is no
possible excuse for longer delay.
Nine times out OF ten the lady suffers
some annoyance In consequence Of
such protracted call. and the gentle
man also suffers In the esteem Of
right-minded persons.
One OF the most philosophical OF
modern society men recently said:
IF men knew enough 10 20 home Mt
proper hours there would not be one
scandal whore now they are ten. And
not the fault Of the woman. No
woman likes u send man home, but
II he hasn't sense enough TO go OF his
own accord she should do IL and save
herself endless annoyance and possibly
open disgrace.
Young women who live with their
parents are less likely 10 be annoyed
in this way than those who are de-
pendent on themselves and lead more
independ ent lives The fact OF exist
ing natural guardianship Is in itself
protection. for a big brother or father
Is sometimes an uncomfortable tad-
versary.
L. but IL is the friendless girl who is
The victim OF such indiscrotion. Men
call themselves the stronger sex. and
should therefore be the guardian OF
NIL women. especially those who are
young, weak or defenseless. The man
who takes advantage OF a woman be-
cause he can is coward and not
worthy OF the name OF man.
''My soas have from their earliest
childhood oeen taught that all
women and girls are 10 be respected,
aud that they as boys and men
should act toward them in such n
way that no one can be scandalized by
their conduct"

increase I'm women worIsers.

IL is remarkable that nearly 30 per
cent Of the total female population is
employed In remunerative occupations.
In the last decade the percentage was
only 2l.33 of the whole. Out of the
eleven classes OF occupation women
have increased comparatively in nine.
viz. government service. professional
and domestic service. trade, ugrlcul-
ture, fisheries. manufactures and as
apprentices, while they have de-
creased comparatively rs laborers and
In personal service. In 1880 there
were nineteen branches OF industry In
which women were not employed; in
1885 the number was reduced TO
seven.

Now that lawn tennis is again to the

exact dimensions of COURT"

the Tribune and put il i'm some con

that the knowledge will not come
amiss.
The court is 7S feet long and 2 feet
wide, the net dividing its exact center
the post for which should stand 3
feet outside ofthe court on either side.
The height of the net should be 3 feet
o inches at the posts and 3 feet in the
middle.
At each end OF the court and par
allel with the net and 80 feet from il
are drawn the base lines. the ends OF
which are connected with the side
lines. Halfway between the side lines
and parallel with them u drawn the
half-court line, dividing the space on
each side OF the net into two equal
parts, the right and left courts. On
each side OF the net, at distance OF
81 feet from IL and parallel with IL are
drawn the servins lines.

lowing the one mentioned in this
paragraph, and Che writer OF this let
ter here expresses his knowledge OF
the former one. The natural infer
enoe from the language is that the
writer Of the one is the writer Of the
other Mr.. Turner, however says
that this is not true, and he offers the
following explanations
"The letter was written, no said, "by young
man about 20 years Of age, who came 10 Wash
lngtOn from my district about two months ago.
No was q lawyer and wanted an once. In order
10 help him along LOT him write such Of my let
tors ~ could bo answered without dictation, for
no was not q stenOgrapher and gave him enough
10 pay his board bill. He hung around me here
and at my room, and OF course had every OppOr-
tunity 10 use my stationery. Finally, when IL be.
came apparent that no could not get an appoint
ment here, he became angry toward me and IN
revenge wrote this letter."
"Where Is no nOW2"

h0 has gone 10 Kansas, in which event l will be
able 10 have him arrested and punished. II he

state Of Washington. lam making every effort
10 catch him, and II necessary win 90 TO Kansas
10 prosecute him. His familiarity with my al.
fairs made IL easy for him 10 incorporate such
matters 40 would give the letter the appearance
Of being genuine.
Mr., Turner should have stopped at
this point. Had he done 80 he would
not have so completely convicted him
self of the act Of which he pleads not
guilty. He continues, however, as
follows:
For instance, Il was true that wrote letter
To MCGrath which was wrongly directed, and
this clerk Of mine knew this, because / spoke Of
the mistake In his presence and asked him II he
mailed the letter.
Here is q clear acknowledgement
by Mr.. Turner that he wrote the
first letter with his own hand. Mark
distinctly what he says:
I lN0tc letter TO MCGrath which was wrongly
directed, and thiB clerk Of mine knew this, be-
cause spoke Of me mistake IN hts presence,
Now the two letters have been COM
pared by good many men, and the
universal verdict is that they were
both written by the same Eand. There
can be no difference OF opinion upon
this subject. The writing and the
signature are unquestiOnsbly the
same. Mr.. Turner's confession there
fore that he is the writer Of the first
letter convicts him Of having written
the one in question.
But there is another point in Mr..
Turner's explanation that clearly In
diCates che shallOwness Of the man
and the Aimsyness Of his explanation.
Speaking Of the disappearance from
Washington Of the man who is
charged with having written the let
tor, he says;
do not care TO make known his name, be-
cause believe no has gone TO Kansas, In which
event will be able % have him arrested and
punished. II he knows that ann after him he
win go straight 10 the state OF Washington.

the letter Of Congressman Turner to
President MCGrath, of the Kansas
State Alliance, together with such
comments as seemed at the time
proper 10 be made. The letter upon
its face seemed to indicate the com
plicity Of President MCGrath in a
most diabolical plot, and after a
lengthy consultation, which failed TO
elicit a satisfactory explanation Of
the matter, IL was decided chat the
letter should be published. In our
remarks predatory TO the letter. we
said:
We regret tho position In which the publiCa-
tlOn Of tho letter places the president Of our
state Alliance and member Of the executive
board, and Wo leave them 30 make such per-
sOnal explanation as thoy may have 70 mako.
There were two questions involved
in this case in which the people Of
the state Of Kansas are deeply inter-
ested. The FIRST OF these is, did Tur-
ner write the letterl The second,
had President MCGrath either said
or written anything TO Turner that
would justify the latter in addressing
him such a letterI With regard 10
this question, we made Che following
statement last week:
We believe our readers are entitled 30 know
OIL that we know aboutit, We have no knowl
edge Of the circumstances that led 10 the writ
ing oft. We have no knowledge 40 TO whether
any OF the parties named In the letter are Crimi-
nally implicated In the corrupt schemes brought
10 light by tho letter. 10 Ia not our business or
purpose 10 attempt 10 defend or excuse any per
son OF any party or in any position who may be
In any way embarrassed by thls publication. We
leave each 10 make his own defense, and the
people 10 draw their own COncIuSiOns,
II will be seen that no charges Of
CriminSlity we're made against any
person. We purposely left the way
open for Che expression Of such opin-
ions as TO the guilt or innocence Of
the parties as their defense should
justify. Unfortunately President
McGrath adopted q method of de-
tense which we believe he now re-
grets, and we shall be disappointed
If he does not himself correct the er-
roneOus Impressions which his letter
is certain to convey.
We propose TO discuss tho question
Of Che authenticity Of the letter at
some length, as Mr.. Turner has
deemed il to his interest to pronounce
il a forgery. We uDhesitatingly Sf-
firm that the evidence Of Mr.. Tur-
ner's authorship of the letter places
that matter absolutely beyond ques-
tiOn, and in order TO give him the
full ben eft of his infamous sCt, we
