The newest dresses are made without

whatever. Ten years ago women wore
pounds of false hair. but they don't any
more.
But" says some dress reformer, 'all
this hascome about through our efforts. |"
Possibly that is true, and IL 1t is, then
all honor to the dress reformers, but
there is such thing as being overzeal-
ous. There are not many women IN the
world, and there are still fewer men.

attractive, and DR.. Mary Walker, Lady
Habberton and the few others who
have tried to establish the fashion have
been almost the sole exponents OF their
theories.
AS to the corset. Mrs Parker says
there was never one made that was not
hurtful. She claims that it interferes
with arterial circulation, and that so
long as women wear them their brain
power will not be equal to that OF men,
because the brain is robbed of its life.
When she says this Mrs. Parker demon
strates the fact that she is not well up IN

quite probable that when God created
woman he did not intend that she
should wear a corset The indications
are that it was not intended for her to
wear anything. ! suppose that Ewes
intercostal and abdominal muscles were
very much frmer than those Of the
woman of today, and they had no need
of support. But the woman of the Nine
teenth century is the product OF 2,O0'
years of corseting, and it isn't reasonable
to suppose that she can go back to trs
principles all at once" Now that seems
very sound logic. If our grandmother
through indefinite generations used steel
and whalebones to hold themselves up
isn't it reasonable to conclude that W.

sudden freshet. to carry off the, water;
and, at times, during the spring rains,
the water rises rapidly. One instance,

before this freshet: 81 have erected a
cabin on the bank of the lake and am

expect to end my days right here. Send

The surprise of the benefactor can be
better imagined than told. when, the
next day after receiving the letter, he
met his man, armed cap-a-pie with his
skillet frying-pan, coffee-pot and camp
equipage, 'thoofing it" down the beach.

The strikers are awed into subsection
only by the presence of many determined
men, whose bright, shiny firearms guard
their own lives and the property of the
Carnegie company.
The prompt arrest of q score of the
rioters lent its influence also in preserv-
ing the peace. Sheriff McCandless' Or
ders closing all saloons in the borough
have been respected, and there was very
little drinking. General Manager Schwab
OF the furnaces was instructed by the
sheriff to select as many deputies as he
deemed necessary. Two hundred en-
ployes of the company responded to Mr..
Schwab's call for volunteers. These
deputies were all supplied with arms and
instructed to be cautious but courage

Hands Paid Of.
At 3 o'clock about 400 Hungarians
collected about the company's several Of
fees to receive their pay. They were
filled with suppressed excitement and
suspicion. Several times the suppressed
murmurings swelled to a sullen roar of
anger, anu but for the timely and re-
peHteu interference of the interpreter an
outbreak that would have been devilish
in its fury would have occurred Finally,
however, the army of strikers were paid
off. As they passed down Thirteenth
treet, a squad of officers spotted the
rioters, and promptly arrested those who
were recognized. Eighteen arrests were
effected, making 25 of the rioters now in
jail

All of the furnaces have been success
fully banked, aud the danger of destruc-

that the men paid off will not be re-
engaged by the company under any cir

English speaking men will be employed
The works will resume operations on

those injured in the riot is much inn
