OF INTEREST TO WOMEN.
Mrs Longshore Potts First Lecture ct a
baugh's Opera House.

Mrs. Longshore Potts' First Lecture at Al.
baugh's Opera House.
The great interest in the course Of lectures
which will be delivered by Mrs. Longshore
Potts, N. D.. at Albaugh's Opera House was at
tested yesterday afternoon by the largo and
fashionable audience Of ladies that filed every
available seat in that large auditorium. twas
an assemblage of women to hear woman dis
cuss q topic of more than usual importance.
AS it was the initial lecture Of the course DR..
Potts spoke Of the habits Of women and their
disregard Of the laws of health. The speaker
has pleasing manner and her style is direct
and concise. She said that while mortality
among children was generally attributed to an
act Of God, yet in the majority of cases the
cause may be assigned to the ignorance of pa
rents. She made plea for the more general
diffusion of physiological knowledge and said
that with equal medical training and expe-
rience women are the superiors of men in
treating women. The lecturer maintained that
the hereditary transmission of disease should
be punished as crime. She spoke OF excess
in dancing, skating. lacing and bareback rid
ing in women. The lecture was finely illus
trated by stereopticon views.

THE FREE WOOL BILL.
IL viii BE Reported TO the House Ways and
Means Committee Tomorrow.

Ihe committee on ways and means will meet
tomorrow. The free wool bill will probably
then be laid before the whole committee and
the republicans will be given a week to prepare
q minority report. after which the bill will be
reported TO the House. Those members Of the
majority who are opposed TO the separate
bill plan have indicated their pur-
pose to aid their colleagues as much as
possible in carrying out the policy agreed
upon by the majority, with the understanding
that they are to report bills attacking every
prominent feature of the Mckinley bill and
press the work vigorously. Ii is said TO be Mr..
German rather than Mr.. Hill who is urging
the do-nothing policy, but whoever is re-
sponsible for it appears 10 have no prospect
OF success. The argument that is being made
against any reduction of the tariff is that the
revenues will not stand reduction. This is
met with the claim that bills can be introduced
to meet all the requirements of the case and
that If a complete revision OF the schedules
were necessary to prevent a shortage OF revc-
nues resulting from placing raw materials
on the free list a general bill would be pre-
pared. An overwhelming majority are de-
termined that the do-nothing policy shall not
get foothoId. 1t is expected that not less
than six tariff bills will be reported from the
committee.

The Central Committee VIII he Advised Not
to Redistrict the City at p resent.
The subcommittee of the central democratic
committee held important meeting last
night, and will make a full report to a called
meeting Of the central democratic committee
on next Tuesday night. The report OF the
subcommittee contains a plan for registra-
tion in the District OF Columbia; also the de-
tails for holding the primaries. No date has
been fixed, but it is understood that the prima-
ries will be called for March or early April
The last democratic primaries were held four
years ago on April g. An important feature of
the report OF the subcommittee will relate TO
redistricting the District of Columbia. The sub
committee take the ground that it is question:
able whether the central democratic committee
has the power TO increase either the number of
districts or the number 81 delegates from each
of the twenty-five districts as now laid out The
disproportion of population in the districts as
now constituted is recognized, but the report
will state that the subcommittee does not see
Its way clear to redistrict at this time and on
the general ground that il is inexped;ent will
report that primaries be held as they have since
1872, on the lines Of the twenty-five districts as
now constituted.
Some suggestive figures will accompany the
report They show that in 1872 the popula-
ton of the District of Columbia was in round
numbers l3l, 900, in 1892 230, 600. In 1872 the
twenty-five districts were SO laid out that each
district contained about 6,oO0 people The
equitable division in 1872 has by the increase
in some districts-notably in the northeast.
the county and in the northwest, and
by the decrease in other districts-notably in
the center of the city-been radically over
turned, until now, by the census o: 1890, the
population of each of the twenty-five legisla-
tive districts, now constituted, is: /.

THE CRoNIN MURDER CASE
Reports That the Supreme Court Would Re.
verse Findings Of the Lower Court

verse Findings OF the Lower Court.
CHICAGO, Feb. a.-word was passed around
among those interested in the Cronin case yes-
terday that the supreme court had handed
down an opinion reversing the finding Of the
lower court Ii was stated that the opinion
would be made public az Ottawa today by Clerk
Taylor Of tie northern grand division.
While reports of a similar nature have been
in circulation before, some importance was at
tacbed to the rumor from the fact that il was
said to have emanated from persons who were
likely to obtain the information first in case a
decision had been rendered. and also for the
reason that tho information seemed TO be
wholly confined to the friends Of the late Dr.
Cronln.
The news was received with considerable
surprise by those in sympathy with the prose-
cution, ana there WIS a disposition to doubt
that the supreme court had remanded the case
and directed a rehearing.
Justice Magruder of the supreme court de-
clined TO give. any information about the
Cronin case or any other case pending in the
supreme court on the ground that such o
course would be improper. He said no de-
cision would lie announced until the close of
the march term Of the supreme court TO lie
held at Ottawa

THE APPROPRIATION BILLS.
Sharp Fight Over Them Promised in the
House.

House.
pretty sharp fight is promised in the
House over the various appropriation bills
as they are called up for consideration.
The members of the appropriations commit
tee are bent on making as much of saving as
possible. They are not alone in this wish, but
are supported by the leading democrats in and
out of the House, and they will not confine
their efforts in behalf of the integrity Of Uncle
Sans cash box to bills coming from their own
committee.
1t has been asserted that Mr.. Holman has
given notice that there must be a 20 per cent
cut all along the line. This, Mr.. Holman says.
Is not true. 1T would be manifestly absurd. +"
he says, ito attempt a horizontal reduction.
There are many things which have to be pro-
vided for to the full amount asked There are
places where there can be no cuts made.
"Ihe government has got to be run and the
money must be provided. mother cases there
can be very considerable cuts made. In some
cases much more than 20 per cent can be cut
of without injury TO the government service.
So to talk of a horizontal cut is foolish.

MRS. OsBoRNE's RETURN.
IL is Said That She VIII DO It to save Her
Husband From Disgrace.

LoSDoS, Feb. 4.-Mrs- Florence Ethel Os-
bore, for whose arrest. on a charge Of perjury,
a warrant is in the hands of the police, and
who, il was announced on Tuesday last. was
about to return from Irun, in Spain, TO sur
render to the authorities is taking
the step entirely of her own volition. She says
she does not want to inflict any further ruin on
her husband, Capt. Osborne, who unless she
came back and answered the charge against
her would be compelled to leave the army.
Capt Osborne, It will be recalled, married
the lady after Mrs. Hargreaves had charged her
with the theft Of her jewels and he was a firm
believer in her innocense until indisputable
proof of her guilt was placed before him. He
has stood by her in all her troubles and after she
arrived at Irun he expressed to her willingness
to join her and accompany her IN a fight 20
a remote region if she SO desired. She thought
it better, however, for her TO return and stand
trial. and thus, If possible. save her husband
from the further consequences Of the act fog
which she was alone responsible.
