What the People are Saying
The Berlin bridge chip should be
tured over.
The people want man for mayor
who can't be banboozled by q YAM

Let the mayor send for persons and
papers on the bridge question.
Let the specifications for the bridges
bs published.
If some tax payers could enjoin the
city from paying for "high truss"
bridges where slow truss" open
bridges were contracted for, it would
unearth the bug.
Twenty-four thousand dollars is q
good price for the three "high truss"
bridges, the city Is paying 5000 for
them.
Call in the bridges companies that
bid on slow truss" bridges and see
what they will build "high truss
ridges for.
II the "bridge committee" has
made this change without consulting
the mayor or city council, their names
should be Cd the shield over the
bridge, ms tead of fallaghan's. The
people want to know who is guilty of
the hocus pocus.
The people are anxious to vote for

What has become of our bonds? the

DRESS REFORM.
'EA SALVADOR.


Demand for Lighter, Less Burdensome
Dress for Street Wear.
Much has been said abroad about the
" Fin de Steele" dresses. There has even
been looming dress bazaar" held in Ken
sington Town Hall, in which the dresses
worn by members of the Reform Dress As
ISOLATION were remarkable for their pictur-
esqueness and grace, though all were alike
in being several inches from the floor.
Soft, graceful materials were universally
advocated and used. The Syrian skirt,
which was extremely full, caught up un-
derneath, SO that it fell in full puff
around the edge. and the Turkish tea
gowns are picturesque examples of
this dress. The trouble In this matter
is that we do not want any reform
in picturesque dress. There are styles
enough for silk and velvet which are neither
burdens0me nor out of place. There is
demand for lighter, less burdensome dress
for general street wear, an outfit that shall
give woman all the freedom of riding
habit aud yet be no way conspicuous or un-
feminine in effect. While men have been
sneering over the prospect of feminine
trousers and general adoption of the
Bloomer style of dress all the change which
women of this country have desired has al
ready taken place. Women of sense, who
are good pedestrians and experts in athletics,
and others who refuse to be unnecessarily
burdened, have ordered their tailor dresses to
BIZ made as light as possible and so as to clear

CRICK EFT.

Practicing for Series of Games With
Victoria Players.
The proposed games between cricketers
of Victoria and local team. which will
leave this city next month for British CO.
lumbia, have very materially added 10 the
interest in the pastime here, and the boys
are losing no time to perfect themselves for
the struggle at the wickets, which. if rumor
speaks correctly, will terminate in favor OF
the San Franciscans, many of whom can
favorably compete against the cracks OF the
older countries.
Ernest Smith, celebrated English
crlcketer, Is now about completing his col
legiate career at Oxford, and as soon as he
gets his Nj. A. lie anticipates visit to this
country, with probability of permanent
residence here. Cricket in a recent issue
gives Smiths picture and concludes sketch
OF his life rs follows:
Already this season Mr.. Smith has proved
himself TO be IN excellent alaround form. His
commencement was promising enough, Tor IN q
match against Christ CHURCH on April 24th and
10Th lie scored 1877 for University College, In
addition to taking IL wickets for 80 runs. This
week, too, against Lancashire. his all around
cricket was the best feature on the Oxford side.
In the 1rst Inning lie WAS credited with 90 out OF
ia from The bat. and his ~ proved The highest
aggregate. Though rather expensive, his bowl
ing was, 100, the best, showing four wickets iof
81 runs.
AS ap .all-around cricketer Mr.. Smith is consld-
efaOy above the average of amateurs. AS a
fast round bowler lie is generally successful. at
Times particularly dangerous. Being feet
inch Iii height, he has every advanta-c as a bat.
aud uses his opportunities, hitting all around
with the greatest freedom. To ada 10 bis capa-
bilitles. he Is moreover line held. As foot
baller he has, in addition, a fair record. He
secured his Cap al Chiffon. and has played for his
college at both the Rugby aud Association
games. MIR. Smith is Mathematical Scholar OF
University College Oxford. and took honors In
MOderations in 1889.
MIR. Smith Is a brother OF Mr.. A. E. Smith. the
weltknown Belmont expert.
The morning call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1878-1895, 1891-07-12

morning the four odd rings, after being sub
jected to a careful polishing. are placed
upon the waiting finger of the trained hand.
1t Is not until the ring fiend gets aboard the
street-car that his left hand begins to do its
best work. The right hand. guiltless of
adornment, acts naturally. 1t grasps the
evening paper, it rests gracefully and care
lessly on cane or umbrella, or it is moved
through the air in an easy conversational
way. 1t goes into the pocket for coin in a
commonplace way, or it lifts the hat to a
lady as any well-bred hand would do. In
fact it acts as hand should act.
But the ringed hand is different. It hasn't
30 many motions. and these motions are
more restricted. 1t never by any chance
goes into pocket or allows itself to be hid
den under a newspaper. 1t sometimes
raises the hat, but not often. Its favorite
position is shown in one of the Illustrations.
To one who is not accustomed to the man
with the finger-ring habit the pose of this
Eand may seem exaggerated. 1t is hard to
imagine that man can put his pet finger
rings on view in such deliberate fashion,
nut this particular young man does so.
Every morning at the same hour he may be
seen apparently unconscious of observation,
yet fully alive to the fact that he has four
odd rings on one finger, and that it is not
only his duty but his pleasure to make that
fact plain to every one about him. Though
all OF his kind do not wear so many rings,
there are great many who exhibit their
stock in similar way.
The morning call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1878-1895, 1891-07-12
The Umbrella Style. Fired for Al observers,

One illustration shows the young man
who, being the pOssessor of fine diamond,
tells you of it through the medium of his
dainty little mustache. He spends most of
his time trying. or apparently trying, TO
coax this little mustache to curl. This is a
harmless enough diversion for young
man, and, as a means of exhibiting ring,
not quite as Objectionable as those of the
Chestnut-street gentleman.
Another form of exhibiting a valued
finger ring has been adopted by young
man in the West End. He has found what
he considers an original way of carrying
his cane He may nnd it tiresome at times,
but he never betrays that fact His hand
some signet ring is always in evidence, yet
If it were not for the cane his good right
hand might seem to be spending most of its
time in Sullivanesque attitude.
Still other ways have been found for
showing finger rings. The young man who
invariably holds his umbrella in his hand
on which the ring is worn is not content to
let his fingers rest idly on the handle. He
has an active third finger. 1t hobs up and
down and sideways and SO deports itself
that all stray CLEANS Of LEGITIMACY fall on the
flashing stone In the ring. There is one
more genius to be described. This is the
gentleman who gets the end seat in the
church pew and allows his hand to rest on
the outer side of the pew arm. 1t may be
that he moves it for the purpose of getting
a coin when tile plate is passed round, but
outside of this action it is safe to say that it
will rest quietly during the continuance of
the sermon.-St. Louis Post Dispatch.

SOME LATE STYLES.
Something for The Boating Girl-A Dress for
Church or Calls.

FIFTH AVENUE (New York;, July 6, 1891.
Among the pretty pictures which now
greet the eyes that are weary of city and
stones and dirt and crowds there is none so
fetching, so mentally pleasing, as the stretch
OF winding, tree-shaded river, or the broad
placid lake, upon whose bosom rocks The
little skiff, whose motive power is pair Of
SOULS, welded by the slender, sun-burnt
hands Of the summer resort girl. Some
times there Is more than one of her in the
boat, or maybe she is supplemented by the
rare and much des ired young man, who,
alas, is so very infrequent at the idling
places of the summer visitors, and then the
picture is even more attractive for the touch
of possible romance it contains. But
whether the masculine element is in evil
dence or not, there's no question that in
her easy boating dress our pretty maid is
at her best, and that she knows it as well as
the observers do, and glories in her freedom
from the restraint of ordinary costume and
her consequent ease of movement II you
don't believe me, just glance at the damsel
here illustrated, who is gowned In a
Redfern dress Of waterproof serge. At
