must wear yellow. Yellow being trying
color TO many women, it Is a canon that
is likely to be most honored in the breach.

roR INFORMAL OCCASIONS

A very attractive little dress for in
formal occasions and which would do e1-
cellently for one of these dances out OF
towns in white mouSSeldine de lame,
figured over with sprays in pale, delicate
colorlngs. The fabric ia one which we
have OF late years almost neglected, and
most unjustly. The cOrsage IL made with
great full ruche, or ruff, OF white
chiffon. drawn out with radiatng lines
of ribbon. the colors Of which reproduce
the colors Of the dress fabric in attenuation.
This ruche is well stidened aud stands well
out upon the shoulders, leaving the throat
and chest bare. ltIs one OF the most ehec;;
tive forms Of the decoUete corsage and
requires perfect chest and throat to wear
it 10 advantage. Below the bodice Is
drawn in close folds to the waist. where a
double girdle of ribbon confines 1t. The
skirt Is slightly n, trdipe, finishing WIN a
ruching of chiffon and ribbon. The sleeves
are full to the elbow, with falls of lace
caught up With ribbon bows.

70 FENCE IN THE PARK.

A force of hands will be put to work IN
a few days fencing in the Baseball Park
AT Forest Hill. A high fence will be
placed around the field, and the grounds
will also be equipped with a grand-stand
for the accommodation OF the ladies' WHO
admire the national game.
There is some talk Of the League series
being played at this popular resort, as the
grounds are superior to any other. either
IN Richmond or Manchester, and are very
conveniently, located at the terminus OF
two electric lines.

but luckily the engineer saw the obstric;;

in the neighborhood early YESTERDAY

the obstruction on the track.
The citizens living in the neighborhood

doubt something will be done at once TO

cot" in conventions. as the men he NOM
mates are generally elected regardless
of odds.
Mr.. Shields is of old Virginia stock,
but was born May 8. 1912, in Pike
county, Mo- He was graduated from
Union college, New York, in 1852, stud
led law with Senator John b. Hender-
son, of Missouri, and practiced with
success till in 1883. when he was elected
prosecuting attorney for the judicial
district including Dubuque, where he
had settled. In 1889 he was elected
state senator for four years, his major
ity being 1920. In the senate he great
ly distinguished himself, and his speech
last winter in favor of a license bill is
regarded by many as unanswerable.
His reputation as an orator and close
reasoner caused his nearly unanimous
election as delegate to the approaching
national Democratic convention. He is

that powerful machine called scientific
criticism, a criticism immovable. mex
orable. which in some way destroys in
dividual liberty, making of man the
simple product of precise and defined
factors, from which he can, under no
pretext, disengage himself, such as race,
epoch, surroundings, which classifies
and labels all literary works like speci-
mems in q museum of natural history;
which seeks, above all, the law. and for
gets, in its desire to bring all things into
common, this element Of difference
which is felt, this vibration of soul to
soul, this something which escapes and
constitutes genius"
And yet Taine has written some beauti-
full poetry, thus combating the very
theory which be labors almost constantly
to maintain. Enthusiastic admirers
have declared that Tame is the first
writer of our time. Be that as it may,
he is genius and an analyst of the first
magnitude. His power of expressing
much in little is remarkable. Perhaps
the most conspicuous example Of this
faculty is TO he found in THE Nor
mans" where, in describing them. he
speaks of them as these heroic seekers
after profitable adventures"
Tame is a thoroughly domestic man,
in that he spends all Of his time at
home. but he can scarcely beconsidered
an ideal husband, for apart from the
meetings at meal time he sees little of
his family. Nine. Tame is hospitable
entertainer. and she and her beautiful
daughter are prominent figures at most
of the social events of the fashionable
literary circles Of Paris; but the great
philosopher has so arranged matters
that he ia by common consent absolved
from all social obligations. From early
morning until far into the night. with
but brief intermissions for the "consti-
tutionals" which he compels hinself to
take, Tame is immersed in his study--a
dingy sort Of den isolated from the fam
ily's apartments and richly stocked
with valuable books. The great writer
and thinker is morbid in his dread Of
notoriety, and would not even permit

FILTH In THE CITY
Dangerous Condition of Many
OF the Streets.
CESSPOOLS AND STENCHES
Are Numerous and the Odors That A-e
Emitted Are Sickening and
UnheaIthful.

Persons driving into the city from
the south or east sides slll have TAO
trouble IN determining when they have
reached the city limits. Inc streets are
go much worse than any country road
could aspire - De that the Dement'S OF
municipal government are palpaoiy
evident. Within the city are inRameF.
able cesspools that are u positive
menace TO health. MANY OF these have
been flled with water all the year anu
the stencil eminatlng from them would
shame the steamboat channel ia the
warmest day OF dry summer.
About the worst place in the city Is
near Fountain street, opposite the
Diamond street school. On Foun-
tain street itself there is y
miniature frog pond about two hun
bred feet long. Ii is just beyond tue
eastern boundary or Fulton street
cemetery. The water Is covered WITH
greenlsh scum, when 1t isn't being
stirred up by the school boys. The
oder that 1t ennis suggests q coucen.
trated sewer. The lots are flooded and
the inhabitants have made q few
attempts TO drain them; but haven
been remarkably successful.
Holland street which connects,
Fountain and Fulton streets, 10 III a
disgusting condition. At the entrance
10 Burners alley, the street Is impas-
sable. The water and mud are nearly
TWO feet deep and driving Is unsafe.
The yards facing Burners alley are full
of water, aud have been aii the year.
The inhabitants have placed planks
from one house to another to prevent
complete isolation. The stencil in the
vicinity of these alleys where the
houses are close together and the
/ drainage from the dwellings has
mixed with the watery filth Of the
! street, is slckenlng. Clusters and Van
Dimes alleys arc as bad as Burners.
The inhabitants OF the neighborhood
are Hollanders.
On the side streets near the south end
{ of Grandville avenue the mud holes
are reported to be very numerous and
equally offensive. The inhabitants 1T
the corner OF Hall and South Division
streets are wailing earnestly against
the mud holes there. There is
pond about 200 feet long
extending along the side Of
! the street. The water has not been
drained of since the street was graded
and the odOr that comes from 1t lie
sweet, even in comparison with Denmark
in the days of Hamlet. There is nc
particular reason why the city isn't
/ filled with typhoid fever, malarial
fever, diphtheria, and every other dis.
ease unless it be that the water is too
putred and the odors too vile even for
the baccilli that are supposed to exist
and flourish IN the midst IF such dis,

lately become quite sympathetic with
the Farmers Alliance and other indus
trial organizations.
In 1890 local elections hero and there
were carried by these elements, and at
least two congressman of the new sort
acknowledge their obligations for Pro-
hibition votes. A regular fusion is now
proposed. and if that is effected General
Bidwell is the logical candidate. Several
delegates, however. serve notice that
there will be no fusion without bitter
fight. They do not go quite to the
'over-my-dead-body" extreme, still they
make it known that things will be ex-

of the convention) before there is any
fusion or any change Of the party's

The Newspapers or rersla.

Recent travellers in Persia find the
newspapers of that land source of per-
ennial amusement. There were none
till the shah returned from Europe two
years ago. While in Paris he saw the
cabmen with newspapers in their hands
when idle, and naturally, it is said, at
tributed their general intelligence to
this fact. AS soon as he arrived in Te-
heran he established q ministry of the
press. and called upon the mobiles to aid
him in his plans. AS a result there are
twelve journals in Persia today. Among
them is the official organ, Iran. To
read them, however, requires consider
able linguistic ability, as they are print
cd in mixture of Turkish, Persian and
Arabic, with French and Russian words
here and there. Sheref, an illustrated
paper in Teheran, contains only por-
traits of Russian and European celeb
rites. When one can read them, how
ever, he finds their grave comments on
western affairs more amusing than the
most labored efforts in Punch or the
Paris comics.
