CORSETs TAKEN OFF
By High School Girls Who Are Taking
Physical Culture Lessons

By High School Girls Who Are Taking
Physical Culture Lessons.
WoBURN, MASS, Feb. 10.-[SpeciaI 1.-The
girls at the High School will continue their
gymnastics without corsets, knowing that
the exercises have been approved by the
leading physician of the town, who was a
critical observer yesterday. 1t seems that
the complaint was not as widespread as at
first represented by the discontented ones,
and in view of the fact that the course of
gymnastics has received the sanction of
physicians, there will be no further trouble
over the matter.
The physician who visited the school for
the purpose of ascertaining if the girls were
being subjected to too severe strain, saw
only some very simple movements consist
ing of "order movements and leg move
ments to induce circulaT Tion, strain bending
movements, etc, for respiration and expand
ing the chest and developing the body. The
girls wore a regulation exercise suit, which
was exceedingly pretty and girIish, and
comprised rather full skirt of navy blue,
made ordinary length, with blouse or loose
waist of same material, turned down collar
and set off with jaunty tie of some bright
color, tied in coquettish little knot.
When asked to state his opinion of the ex-
ercises, the medical critic said: "If con-
Quoted properly, and providing the girls are
in good health no doubt they are most bene-
fetal; but the interval between the lessons,
which come but once a week, is too long. t
think it would be better if they came
oftener."
One of the young ladies said she only OBJ
jected to the backward movements as it
hurt to do them, and she thought it strained
fessed that she was not fond of the physical
culture exercises, said: Il would not exert
myself to do the exercises If not obliged to,
but if they are good for me 1 have no objec-
tion." Another bright girl, active and full
of life, was quite enthusiastic over gymnas-
tics She practiced them at home with her
sister and evidently took much delight in
the exercises.

WHAT WAS HoNORED

Pittsburg paid due honors yesterday to
the memory of a citizen whose reputation
and friendship were priced to wider circle
here than could perhaps be affirmed of
men of much more marked prominence.
A soldier whose courage and devotion
were ideally chiyalric, a politician whose
uprightness and honesty were above sus-
picion, and a citizen whose career was
marked by modest and unassuming pub
lie spirit, in marked distinction to the
usual pursuit of wealth, William McClel-
land leaves memory in honoring which
the community honors itself.
1t is worth while to give little ref1ec-
ton to the true meaning Of the respect
which the community paid to the funeral
of that brave, modest and noble soldier.
1t is well known that the conscientious
ness of Captain McClelland was car
ried to a degree which, according
to the ordinary standards, would be
considered impracticable. 1t is hardly
a secret that this scrupulousness in his
conduct prevented him from rising to as
high position in politics and wealth as
might have been the case if he had been
hlllIIlS W slhC buO Ol SuCCOSS
adopted by the average man. Yet it is
exactly that extreme conscientiousness to
which the public now pays homage There
is great weightin the reflection, now that
the end of life has come that the salts
faction of no political ambition nor the at
tainment of any degree of wealth could
have compensated for the slightest deter
ioration in his extreme and careful hon.
esty In view of the end of life, is not the
memory of William McClelland better
possession than the glittering success of
any great politician or wealthy mil
lionaire?
1t is at least such memory that the
people of Pittsburg paid their tribute to
yesterday. And that is the sort of men,
ory which it is the power of every man to
leave to his heirs and his community.

THE ELECTORAL QUESTION.

Among the measures bearing on national
elections produced by the present session
of Congress is bill introduced by Mr.. Nc
Aleer, of this State, dealing with the cleo
tion of Presidential Electors Mr.. Nc
Aleer does not, propose the simple and
radical change Of abolishing the Electoral
College altogether and electing the Presi-
dent and Vice President by direct popular
vote. On the other hand, he proposes a
sort of compromise between the constitu-
tional theory and the actual practice.
This compromise takes the form of bill
providing that the Electoral College shall
consist of one elector from each Congress
sional District, to be chosen by the voters
of the district; two electors representing
the Senators, to be voted for by the quail
fed citizens of the State; one elector for
each State and Territory, including the
District of Columbia, to be elected on a
general ticket voted by the qualified
voters of the entire nation. Under this
plan the Electoral College would contain
356 chosen by Congressional districts; SS
elected by popular vote in each State, and
45 chosen on a national ticket, making
total of 4S9
The first objection to this proposition is
as to its FORM 1t proposes to effect by an
act of Congress what requires constitu-
tional amendment The next is that while
it affords a degree of progress toward doing
away with the paradox of an. election by
which the candidate receiving majority
of votes may be defeated, it does not
wholly do so. The 8S votes chosen by the
States may hold the balance of power and
affect the result exactly as the present
system does. The Electors chosen by Con-
gressional districts may represent skill in
gerrymandering rather than the popular
will. The temptation to gerrymanders
will be materially increased by this method,
and one of the most obvious results would
be the redistricting of each State by the
dominant party before each Presidential
election, on the plan now exemplified by
New York and Ohio.
The great mistake of such a proposition
is that it fails to recognize the lesson of
our history. The constitutional theory was
that the election of the President and
Vice President should be removed from
the influences of popular campaigns by
resting the choice in Electors who were to
be chosen for that purpose, and were ex-
pected to exercise free choice without
bias from the circumstances of their cleo
ton. Experience has proved the theory
to be impracticable. The whole system
comes down to the foundation stone of
the popular will The Electors as long as
they exist will be, not free agents. but
simply puppets. Why not recognize ex-
isting facts and do away with the electoral
machinery that gives voter in Idaho or
Rhode Island six times the power of
voter in New York or Pennsylvania in
choosing President
The entire logic of our political system
points to the election of President by
direct vote of the people. When the
Electoral College has utterly failed to do
the work for which it was constituted it
is high time to abolish it

EFFECTIyE AGITATION.

If the taxpayers continue to interest
themselves until Tuesday, they will secure
an efficient representation in Councils
pledged directly to a reduced milIage and
TO close scrutiny and retrenchment of the
appropriations.
The argument is made in some quarters
that these pledges will not amount to
much, as the sitting Councilmen, not the
candidates to be chosen Tuesday, will have
the vote on this years ordinance. This OBJ
lection is more technical than forceful
Many of the sitting members are candi-
dates for reelection on Tuesday, and
these can be reached by clear and deter
mined expressions from the people in
their districts. When the people let it be
seen that they are pronounced for given
programme their will is sure to be respect
ed. 1t is only when the people are silent
or Indifferent that extravaganza grows up.
Further, the candidates elected this wear
will frame future appropriation ordi-
nances; and finally, the ability of taxpay-
ers to send men to Councils to represent
their views and interests or a special
policy, will, when successfully demon
strated, serve as notice to the City Hall
officials that an obnoxious policy cannot
be forced through without inviting defeat
at the polls.

Chairman Ewing stated this evening that
the idea of inviting Congress to visit Chi
cago had its origin at an after-dinner talk
at the house of one of the principal citizens
of Chicago, and this has grown into n great
citizens movement. The motive which in
spired this invitation was that of gratitude
of the citizens of Chicago, who fully appre-
c1ate the great honor which was conferred
upon the city by selecting it as the location
of great international exposition, the
greatest event of this generation, and
they desire that the national repre-.
sentatives shall come and see for
themselves how faithfully the trust
Is being executed. The desire of the
citizens is that the invitation shall be re-
ceived in the spirit in which it is given,
namely, that OF pure hospitality, and in no
event shall the dignity and hospitality be
lowered to cover any ulterior sordid motive,
and each guest shall be cordially welcomed,
and his time spent in an agreeable and in
Structlve manner. Particularly is it desired
by the citizens OF Chicago to remove the i'm
preston that the coming event has any
connection whatever with the proposed ap-
preparation for the Worlds Columbian Ex-
position. The Worlds Fair directory and
officials have no connection whatever with
the present affair, which is being conducted
exclusively BY the private but public-minded
citizens of the city of Chicago

the State or Go to Jail.
BANGOR, Me-, Feb. Especial ]-For some
days past it has been rumored about the
streets that the grand jury at the present
term OF the Supreme Judicial Court of
Penobscot county would report indictments
against every person in city who held a
United States license for selling liquor, the
fact of their having paid the special tax
being considered prima facie evidence of
guilt. The rumor was generally discredited,
Tor the liquor dealers have long gone prac-
tically unmolested in this city. When the
grand jury came in this forenoon. however,
they reported A4 indictments for the GRIM
inal term, over 200 of which are against
liquor dealers, and great sensation was
created in the crowded courtroom.
Every druggist, hotel keeper and liquor
dealer in the city has been indicted, to-
gether with the keepers of several notorious
dives and various small peddlers of the
stuff. Great e1citement prevails among the
liquor dealers. from the opulent McCanns
and Maguires to their small customers in the
purlteus of Hancock street and the DEVILS
Half Acre. for one and all will have to walk
up and settle from one to three cases. The
great majority will have to pay 500 and
costs, but some may go to Jail under the
new law, although this is not probable. A
to go to Jail for a couple OF months on ac-
count of inability to pay their fines, and
Bangor jail, which was in prohibition times
the home of so many liquor Dealers will
shelter a fair quota OF that class OF offend
ers again. -l
The druggists are indignant at the action
Of the Grand Jury in indicting them, but
several of the drug stores are common rum
shops, and there is no reason why any of
them, with possibly two or three exceptions,
should be omitted from the list. The larger
liquor dealers say that they are satisfied to
pay fine now and then in lieu of q license
fee, and declare that the only cause of the
present crusade is a desire on the part of
the County Commissioners to fatten the
Treasury. Several liquor dealers have left
town. The Prohibitionists are in great glee.

THE THEORY OF TT

A boiler explosion which. took place on
the Reading Railroad the other day is an
interesting as well as fatal illustration of
the theory of boiler explosions, which so
far is the only one that fulills the prime
requisite of scientific theories, namely, of
agreeing with the facts and of being DEM
onstrated by the experiments.
1t is to be remembered that the Lawson
theory, brought to the front several years
ago, was that boiler explosions result from
the high explosive power of superheated
water kept under pressure. Thus under
normal pressure water passes off into
steam at temperature of 180 degrees. If
the pressure is increased the water must be
brought to a higher temperature before it
produces steam, and if it is thus raised to
a superheated state it is plain that the
sudden removal of pressure, as by the
opening of the throttle, will cause the
water to burst into steam with instantan-
eous rapidity. The Lawson theory, which
was supported by some remarkable demon
strations, is that it is this explosive power
of superheated water caused by the sud-
den opening of the throttle OF perhaps
safety valve that causes boiler explosions.
The account of the locomotive explosion
referred to tallies very closely with this
theory. The engine was pushing train
out of the yard, and it struck a heavy
grade, when the engineer, according to the
account, pulled back his lever to put on
more steam. Hardly had he taken his
hand from the throttle when the boiler
gave way under the extra pressure of
steam" Here, with an unimportant
allowance for the inaccuracy of description
by one who must give the facts at second
hand, is an exact reproduction of the
Lawson method of exploding boilers.
As the lives of thousands are daily de-
pendent on a thorough knowledge of the
conditions which produce boiler explosions,
too much study cannot be given to every
