Great Interest in woman's Dress Reform

Mrs. Annie Jenness-N1iller stopped over
in New York for a few hours the other day
10 see some of her old friends. Just at this
time she is very busy woman. She is de-
voting most of her time to lecturing on wo-
mans dress, physical culture and kindred
topics, and she has little time to give to her
friends or her family. Mrs. Miller has not
been seen in New York for nearly a year.
Since she left Gotham town she has become
the mother of what she calls the daintiest
dumping of girl baby in existence. She
IS extremely fond Of it, of course, as all
mothers should be Of their children, and it
nearly broke her heart that she was not
able TO take it on her lecture tour. For
the next six months Mrs. Miller will live
"Oa the road'-that is 20 say, her lecture
tour viii take her as far as California, and
also to the extreme East and South as well.
l asked her what progress she thought
was being made in the sO-called wOmau'S
dress reform movement She replied very
frankly that it was growing in favor more
rapidly than even the best friends of the
movement could hope for. She reports a
great awakening on the subject, and her
lectures are frequently attended by as
many as 1000 women. There is no notice
able increase in favor of dress reform in
any particular section of the country.
Mrs. Miller is of the opinion that all
sensible women are gradually beginning to
realize that they have been burdened too
long with unnecessary and uncomfortable
garments, and they are eager for any in
formation that will give them aid in solving
the problem of the proper and most health
ful methods of dress.

Out of the pulpit DR.. Paxton is free,
straightforward, manly and liberal in his
daily life. He is often seen at public din
ners, and he never fails, when called upon,
to make good speech. He is particularly
fond of referring to his experiences in the
army, and he can make his hearers laugh
by telling some ridiculous story, or he can
make them weep as easily by telling some
pathetic incident of the battlefield. He is
master Of word painting.

The Golden Hour for shoppers.

The shopping district of New York is one
of the most attractive places in town just
now. All the big stores have their new
spring and summer goods tastefully dis
played, and a woman must be hard to
please, indeed, who cannot select her
wardrobe from the infinite variety of pat
terms displayed. Broadway, Twenty-third
and Fourteenth streets are crowded all
day with women and girls looking over the
stocks of dress goods and the feecy mate
rails that will be worn at the seaside and
in the mountains is.summer. Never was
there greater opportunity for the tasteful IN
dress, and the Partisan bonnets are said to
be the daintiest things for headwear seen
in many day. A manager of one of the
largest stores told me to-day that great
percentage of the trade of New York came
from residents of other cities, such as
Philadelphia, Washington, Boston, Provi-
dence and places within days ride of
New York. There are some reasons for
this, chief of which is the fact that not only
are the latest fashions here to select from,
but the cost is much less, SO that woman
who resides in any of the cities named can
easily save money in addition to paying her
railroad and hotel expenses by making h3r
purchases in New York.
Another evidence of the merry boom in
the spring trade is that all the hotels are
thronged with guests. 1t doesn't seem to
make much difference how many new no.
tells are built in New York, there are
enough people to occupy them and pay the
highest prices for the accommodation. At
ter O'Clock it is quite impossible to find an
unoccupied dinner table in any of the good
restaurants up town. The hotel keepers,
like shopkeepers, have all they can do, and
are adding much to their already large bank

a Great Chance for New After-DInner
Orators

Gen. Horace Porter or DR.. Chauncey NJ.
Depew made the assertion at a great pub
lie dinner recently that oratory was
gradually dying out. l don't recall which
one of these gentlemen made the statement,
but its of no consequence. The statement
is true. There never was a time when a
new, fresh, vigorous and pleasing after
dinner speaker would be so welcome. DR..
Depew is still the best liked and the best
known of all the men who are heard in pub
lie here. But DR. Depew is not ubiquitous.
He cannot be in more than one place at
time, and there are a great many big din
ners given in New York in the course
of a year, which, for business as
well as physical reasons, DR.. De-
pew cannot attend. Gen. Porter
ranks second, / should say, as an after
dinner speaker. But he is no more able
than is DR.. Depew to cover the entire
or three times in one evening at various
places. These are not all of our great
speakers. There is Colonel Ingersoll, who
has an unfortunate way of accepting invita-
tons to speak and then forgetting to make
his appearance. There is ex-Congressman
Wise, who is vigorous and eloquent. There
is DIR, Paxton. spoken of above. There is
DR.. Talmage, who never fails to interest
There is Senator Hill, who is well liked.
And there are scores of others equally as
well known, but who have been heard again
and again, and their stories have been
heard so many times that they really cease
to interest, as they once did.
ThCS3 is great opportunity now in New
York Tor young man of brains and ability
who has something to say, and knows how
to say it-Such q one, for example, as was
the late Henry w. Grady: There is plenty
of fame for MIN, and perhaps, fortune as

each, and one for q wharf to cost 81. 700.
The others were for small buildings and
repairs, ranging from $500 down.
It has been decided to complete the
Yesler building on Pioneer place instead
of just putting on two stories and then
roofing it over. 1t is to be six stories high
in all and will be one of the finest build
ings in the city. The decision to complete
the building does not imply any change in
the plans. The additional three floors
will be finished up in the same style as the
second and third stories, description Of
which has already been published.
A permit has been issued for the erec-
ton of nice Norwegian Congregational
church at the corner of Olive and Twelfth
streets. The building will be we'll finished
and is to cost about $1,000.
Skillings & Corner are preparing plans
for the construction of two nice cottages

frames with brick foundations and base
ments, and will be nicely finished. They

put on the Boston block for the accommo-
dation of photograph gallery has been
made the subject of good deal Of annoy
ance to the building inspector. The
owner of the building was refused per-
NIT for the work until he brought the
building inspector q certificate from
the underwriters giving him permission to
have the job done. Complaint was after
ward made to the inspector that the work
was not being done properly, and on in
quiry some of the insurance men said
they did not understand the case properly,
80 the inspector ordered the work stopped.
Saturday it was said the consent of the
underwriters had been secured again and
the work would proceed. The job is to
cost about 81, 900.

HOW TO BECOME GREAT.


An Ohio Preacher Discourses on False
and True Ideas of Greatness.
The Rev. J. s. Thomas q young and able
clergyman of Jackson, O., occupied the
pulpit at the First Presbyterian church
yesterday. His subject was How TO BE-
Come Great" His text was Mark x:43-45:
But so shall IL not be among you: but whose

preacher said. betrayed their humanity,

was strong rehuke: aye know not what

text. Ii Was the conception of greatness
by dominion which was disclosed and re-
huSed in this episode. The Master also
conveyed the idea that not appointment

true greatness: "Whosoever will be chief

discourse was full Of illustrations from the
lives of the saints and martyrs. In the
evening the text was Matthew vi:l0 and

Duty of Christian F,IIovsh,p.

The Rev. Kenneth Duncan spoke yester-
day morning at the Second Presbyterian
church, Oak and Harrison streets, on the
subject Citizens and Strangers" "Be
not forgetfui to entertain strangers. for
thereby some have entertained angels UNI
awares." Now, therefore, ye are no
more strangers, but fellow citizens with
the saints and of the household of God"
The central idea was the broad hospitality
OF the church Of Christ. which welcomes
everyone to fellowship. The speaker
closed with an earnest appeal to the
church to become rich in its sympathies,
thoughtful in its entertainment Of all who
were estrangsd from its communion.
Thoughtlesness Is the foe of the church,
most to be feared We may not forget
God; We may be most devout in the sane
tuary, but We, by our frigid neglect of our
fellows, slight Gods angels, unrecognized
by us in the outer mold of human nature.
