of skirts and bodices, 1t is a relief to turn
to a topic which will permit of positive
statements. It can be said with entire
safety that the fashion of undergarments
is becoming more elaborate every month,
but the number can hardly be lesseued,
since few fashionable women wear more
than one petticost and this of the most
elaborate description. Most of the white
petticoats have two or three skirts sus-
pended by one band, or what is practically
the same thing, fouuces reaching quite
two-thirds of the length, and these
founced and trimmed like separate skirts.
Some of the black or dark silk skirts are
made in tine same manner, with the skirt
proper of the full length from the band,
and edged with gathered frill of the
same silk, and over this full gathered
founce, reaching well above the knees and
the edge trimmed with light-colored
fiounce covered with black lace. All these
frills and flounces one above the other give
the effect of many skirts, and of course
add to the warmth, while the hips are COW
cred only by the one deep band, which
permits the gown to fit like a glove. Sat
ins, merv or soft silks of any kind are now
preferred to the rustling glace silk for pst-
ticoats, and these certainly hang better and
are more durable than the sitter kind.

TAKING HIs OWN MEDICINE.-

The predicament In which that noble and
useful citizen, Communist Justus Schwab,
of New York city, finds himself is a sad
one. That is, he feels it to be SO. He is
suspected by the Central Labor federation
of Capitalism. because he is supposed to
have made money in selling beer. He is
also accused of not being true friend of
Organized Labor, because he employs q
non union bartender. His old friends are
turning against him, and their antics are
making his life a burden. He thus un-
boeoms himself: 'I'm sick and tired of
this kind of business. I sold International
union cigars and the Knights of Labor
beycotted me. I sold K. of L. cigars and
the International boycotted me. T sold
Progressive cigars and both the other
unions boycotted me. What shall dos"
Not many moons ago Communist Schwsb
was loud in his denunciation of people who
made and saved money and of people who
saw that the tyranny of labor was likely to
be even more unreasonable and intolerable
than the tyranny of capital. He believed
in the boycott if people didn't do just as
they were ordered to by the labor leaders.
He has evidently done his best to please
the labor leaders in his vicinity. He has
sold several kinds of properly labeled ci-
garr, and he has found that in obeyipg one
tyrant he was displeasing another. Now
he is all mixed up. He isn't sure that
Capitalism in his own case Is reprehensible.
He can't even see the justice of the boycott.
When the labor leaders unquestioningly
drank union beer and smoked union cigars
in his saloon he could truly sympathize
with their efforts to better the condition of
the workingmsn, to cripple the capitalists,
and to boycott those who didn't obey the
mandates of the new tyrants. Now he
wants sympathy himself, because it is his
turn to be dsspised and boycotted.
This case of Justus, besides being a fine
example of what is called poetic justice, is
| truly instructive. 1t shows how difficult
it is for even Communist beer and cigar
seller to carry on business under the su-
| perintendence of labor tyrants. These
| tyrants have been go rash and SO ipjudici.
ous In the use of their power all over the
country that it has been found necessary
to fight them. They have been defeated
whenever and wherever the fight was made
with pluck and persistence. We suppose
| that even Communist Schwab could con
tinue in business without their consent il
he wanted to. They have made such use
of their power as to seriously discredit
both themselves and their cause. They will
of course find that they are subject Il
the same laws and circumstances that gov
ern other people in this world, and wher
they fully realize this if they go to worl
reasonably and sensibly they can accom-
plish more for Labor than they have beer
able to accomplish by violence.
1t is decidedly interesting to see Sohwab

declaimer against property rights, in tn
same pit that he has helped dig for others
His complaint shows that he hasn't yer!

AN NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.,

AN INTERESTING-HAB
While Woman has been In state of
slavery to Man she has formed the habit
of being Httls sensitive about her age.
When she is fully emancipated perhaps
this habit will not continue, but nobody
can yet tell how that will be. There are
so far few signs indicative of any diminu-
tion In the force and persistency of the
habit. Doth not the old man, counting
his own years openly and honestly, con-
tinually see how the young ladies of his
acquaintance fail to keep up with his
progress toward the graves And if, in his
surprise and mystifcation, he may hsply
consult the family bible which he supposes
contains the birth record of those young
ladies, doth he not sometimes find the page
he is looking for torn out and the record
as If it had never been? OF course he doth.
And what happens to the old man happens
to everybody who tries to pry into what Ia
none of his business. A French judge,
who has had a long experience on the
bench, has been trying all through 1t to
find out something about the ages of wo-
men. He has of course been largely
baked. He now believes that the only
women who tell exactly how old they are,
in court, are either under 25 or over S5.
At all other ages they are sure to under
state their years. The rule Is, SO says this
judge, that If woman says she is in the
thirties she is over 40. She will be apt to
say she is 80, If between 80 and 40, and SO,
If between 40 and so.
OF course there are reasons for this hab-
1t. Woman's BEST time is when she is
young and beautiful. She considers 1t her
duty to herself and to the world to stay
young and beautiful as long as she can.
She knows, whatever her birth record may
denote, that she is no older than she looks,
and no older than she feels. Therefore she
hides whatever discrepancy there may be
between her years and her looks and feel
ings, and she stays just as young as cir
will let her. If at times she
attempts to hide too big a discrepancy it
must be laid, not to dishonesty. but to a
laudable desire to be and to be thought
young and beautiful. Another reason why
this habit of hiding years has
been formed by Woman is that
1t has been considered a little
against woman to get beyond certain,
Or uncertain, age without being married.
in Difference to the sense of
others and her own excusabls sensitive
ness, she has done her best not to get "out
Of bounds" until she had to. Her dreams
Of home, of power and of freedom have
been connected with the age question. and
she has made that question as comfortable
for herself as she could.
We cannot stop to discuss whether there
Is any morality or immortality in this
habit. We simply refer to 1t as one of the
res geste," as our lamented friend Colonel
Dexter R. Wright would say. Perhaps,
when Woman is what she is aiming to be
she will cast off this habit with all the
other habits that she seems about to cast

Election. Day IN Ell<ton.

Election DaYin Elkton was charact-
erized by general good order and quiet
voting. The polling under che Australian
ballot system WAS done in Odd Fellows
Hall, aud the character of the election
was most satisfactory. The town took
holiday appearance. The saloons were
closed aud although a large number were
assembled on the streets throughout the
day. little disorder was experienced. 1t
was day noticeable for the lack of
jostle and rowdyism generally incident
to an election.
If money was used the scheme oparat-
ed we'll for little heeling was noticeable.
The floating vote was disappointed.
One representative remarked that this
was sorry country cor the poor man
who by his vote pnts fellow inio a
$50, 900, position and dosen't get Il cent
for lis trouble. Why said he Il used to
make 81 or So every shot" The polls
opened at seven a. m. and closed at six.
The report of the election throughout
the county appears elsewhere. Ample
arrangements were made in Elkion for
the receipt of the returns. The Elkton
Athletic Association ran special wire
to the club rooms in the Frazer building
The returns were received by special
wire at the headquarters of the Republi
can Club in Maxwell hall and also by
the Democratic Club at their quarters in
SCOTS warehouse. A party received the
news by special wire at the Clerks Office.
At o'clock the victory seemed assur
ed for Cleveland and Democratic excite
ment rose 10 high pitch. A parade
was formed and large number marched
through the town cheering Justify.
