NEW YORK. Oct. 31.-NOt so very long
ago-that is not as long ago as to begin
''once upon time" but in ages not
quite prehlstoric-a barber meant man
and milliner meant a woman, and the
only profession of which the sex was at
all doubtful was that Of the curate.
Sidney Smith said there were three
seXes-men. women and curates, and
the poor darling with his tea, music,
and embroidered slippers is still lady
like creature of the tame cat species.
Mrs. Humphrey Ward and Margaret
Deland have created something manly
in this line, but the Robert ElShereS
and John Wards are not plentiful in
real life. But pHtting the doubtful sex
of the curate aside. there is difficulty
now in determining the sex of many
professions. The tables are being
turned everywhere-th men are grasp
ing the needle land by the right end, too)
and the women are welding the razor
without cutting their victims noses off.
The men dressmakers began at the
tailOr-made gown, got we'll satisfied
with their results, experimental little
with ribbon and lace, and finally
plunged into crowd of various fabrics,
turned few summersaults and came
down triumphant on their feet. The
lady dreSSmakerS first laughed, then
trembled, and then resigned themselves
to fate. Fate decreed that the muscu-
lar, brawny hand of man should achieve
better results from the finery and fall
lals of dress goods than the delicate,
blue-veined hand of woman can posi-
bly, accomplish. Worth is name which
is to dress creators what Millais is to
painters-what Tennyson is to verse
makers. There are myriads of little
WOrths turning out hosts of little
WOrthisms. Some of these small trI-
umphs are beating the work which
comes from the great masters hand.

The thumb ring has not yet become

the trailing skirt is very much to the
fore.
ApropoS of long skirts, there's little
article out now which will be boon to

English woman, who has probably

The Stingy Young Man.

| would go across muddy street OF q

the person who stands at the head OF
this paragraph. and when | had shaken
hands should perhaps humbly beg him
for his autograph or a lock OF his hair.
And wherefore? Because, to be a
''stingy young man" means in popular
parlance young man who has the
moral courage to spend his money his
own way. 1t means that be-
cause he happens to be in u crowd oil
addle pated green horns who are throw
ing away their earnings in manner
that does not bring a return to them or
any one else, he refuses to chip in"
It means that he doesn't have amOnthly
whisky, livery, theatre, florist or con-
fectionery bill in excess OF his monthly
earnings.
1t means that he dosn't rob his en-
ployers. or, if he is bank cashier, his
bank TO minister to his illicit pleasures.
It means that his tailor bill is paid
promptly, ditto his board bill: that
II he has mother or sister not to well
off he can and does afford them an oc-
casional generous gift. 1t means that
while every designing girl of his ac-
qnaintance is not a recipient at his
hands of costly flowers and confection-
cry, the girl he likes has plenty of both
and both are paid for. This term of
reproach means also that while his
generous colleague is talking slush
about the extravaganza of girls and the
impossibility of supporting such crea-
lures, that he, our ''stingy young man, "

accepted by his sweet heart and is Civ

cry case of Ethel TOwne. the 20-year-Old
young woman with the varied history,
was put on trial in the circuit court late
yesterday afternoon.
Miss Towne, alias Ella White. alias
Helen Anthony Rogers, was arrested
two months ago for passing a bogus
check on the management OF the Terre
Haute house. Tho next day sitter her
arrival she told the hotel clerks that
she was on hei way to st. Mary's OF the
Woods, four miles west of here, to enter
a noted Catholic educational institution
for young women. She said she was
expecting her mother and her rich
aunt that day to accompany her over to
St. Mary's. and she appeared consider
ably put out because they did not come
as expected. She represented to the
hotel people that she was a niece and
ward of ]. H. Walker. the big Chicago
dry goods man. The second day after
her arrival she presented check fol
$500. also bearing the signature OF j. h.
Walker.
The hotel people telephoned to St.

if he had signed the check, and the re-

nothing OF Ethel Towne. In the mean
time the girl volunteered to telegraph
Mr.. Walker herself Later, and al
most simultaneously. two kilograms
were received from Chicago. both signed

was forgery. the other said the check
was all right. The hotel people came to
the conclusion that Ethel had a.confed-

one of the kilograms. Ethel was AZ

work of Harry d. Roberts, an artist en-
ployed on the Chicago Daily News, and
that she had come down to Terre Haute
to pass it under his direction, the whole
thing being carefully planned. She
said he had sent her the bogus telegram
from Walker.

Kingfisher, Ok, January 19.-The
county republican convention met In
this city to-day. The platform Is o
novelty, and It's unanimous adoption
shows the revolution that is going on
In public sentiment. After clarifying
the past, and expressing confidence in
the future of the republican party, tn
free coinage silver act was endorsed;
also the proposition that the govern
ment should issue an additional supply
of currency, based on hypothecated Sc
curities, and that the government
should extend to farmers the facilities
for borrowing money that 1t does to ma
tional banks, AS the money belongs TO
the people, it should be returned to
them for their use on such terms as are
consistent with security, and that only
such interest should be charged there
on as would Offset the expense OF the
transaction.
II is futher resolved that all corpo-
rations should be assessed for taxation
upon the basis of the face value OF their
capital stock. and that speculation by
the non-producing classes should be
prohibited: that ii should be made
crime for manufacturers to combine to
control any particular industry: that all
old soldiers should be pensioned, and
also paid the difference between the
value of the greenbacks, in which they
were paid, and the value OF gold at the
same time. The tariff was generally
denounced, Blaine and reciprocity en-
dorsed, and an income tax upon all in
comes of $1,000 and over proposed.
Home rule for the territories was ap-
proved, and the national administration
severely criticised for not adoptinglt;.
AS to Oklahoma, the chairman OF the
committee, who reported the platform,
is a private banker, one John z. Jones
of Hennessy, who is also chairman OF
the board of county commissioners.
After the adoption Of this unique plat
form. ticket was nominated.
The convention was composed OF

Washington, January 1.-the Sill
preme court to-day rendered an Opin-
ion affirming the judgment of the cir
cult court for the eastern district OF
Missouri, in the suit for an injunction
brought by the city of St. Louis and the
st. Louis, Kansas City & Colorado Rail-
road company, against the Wabash
Pacific Railraod company. The object
was to restrain the Wabash from pre-
venting the st. Louis, Kansas City &
Colorado road from using the track OF
the Wabash through Forest Park, in
st. Louis, to the union depot in that
city. The court holds that the action
OF the circuit court granting the relief
asked for was proper.
The court also rendered an opinion
affirming the judgment OF the supreme
court of California on the case OF George
F. Parker VS.. Jake Bird and Frank
Dixler. This is suit over the owner
ship of an island of about eighty acres
in the Sacramento river, Colusa county.
Parler's claim rested on the ground
that HIS grant extended to the middle
of the stream, and the court decided
against him on the ground that as the
stream is navigable at this point, title
stops at high water mark.

The Lntss. Indian News.

Pine Ridge Agency, via Nashville,
Neb., January 19.-There is an increas-
ing nervousness noticeable among the
Indians this morning, occasioned by the
difficulty the Indians experienced in
agreeing upon the question of turning
over their arms, submitting to the deg
radiation of the several tribes, and the
manner in which they are to be treated
by the government. The Rosebud In
dams fear to leave this agency lest they
be set upon and killed by the soldiers.
About thirty Indians, however, will go
to Rosebud to-day. In the council yes
terday the Rosebuds boldly charged
that the Ogallalas had committed as
many crimes as they had themselves.
Bad feeling was also engendered by the
statement of one chief that he intends
to turn over all the Indians to the SOL
diers as q consequence Of these actions.
The collection OF arms has been very
unsatisfactory. Only 104 have been
given up.
Washington, January 19.-The presi-
dent has approved the act making APP

Trrrx.r1Rsr CONGRESS.
Senate.

1
Washington, january 19.-After
reading the journal, Mr.. German ar
gued against the correctness OF . RUE
of the vice president during fridays
session, to the effect that an appeal
from q decision was not debateable, be-
cause the question itself on which the
decision was made 10 motion to lay on
the tablet was an undebateable one.
Addressing himself especially to the
vice president, Mr.. German said that
no vice president had ever taken, or
ever could afford to take
any advantage or make any
arbitrary ruling in the senate. From
the first vice president until now. no
man whom the people had honored by
an election TO that office had ever At
tempted to do it. and in his opinion no
one ever would.
Mr.. Edmunds said that he took the
liberty OF affirming, with great respect
to everybody else, that the decision OF
the chair. on the occasion referred to,
was absolutely right in point OF parlia-
mentary law. There were certainly
rules of the senate against 1t.
The point raised by Senator German
seemed to excite considerable feeling
among the republicans as it was
felt to be in the nature Of a flank move
ment OF more or less insidious nature,
and might develop into something dan
gerous in its application to the cloture
test, which will soon be applied. The
discussion was kept up until 1880 when
Mr.. German withdrew his motion.
The journal OF the Friday was APP
proved. and the morning business was
proceeded with.
At o'clock the elections bill was
taken UP as the unfinished business, and
Mr.. George took the floor in opposition
TO the measure.
Mr.. George yielded to Mr.. Hoar, who
moved that the adjournment to-day be
till II o'clock tomorrow. in order to
give the senator's who desired to attend
the funeral Of Mr.. Bancroft an Opportu-
nifty to do so. The motion was agreed
TO.
Mr.. George then resumed his speech,
but without concluding yielded for o
motion to 60 into executive session, and
the senate soon adjourned.
