loving, sensitive and amiable creatures
who sin against cleanliness by sweeping
the streets with their skirts and offend
their neighbors by wearing large hats do
not consider that they are defying
good taste or debarring anybody
Of reasonable pleasure. They
would be shocked to be called dowdy or
dirty; they would be panied TO be called
rude or Inconsistencies They are simply
following a fashion which they did not
set; which they are not willing to
change which they dare not defy.
The writer in Horper's Bazar, evidently
woman, recommends that women
should adopt a dress that is appropriate
for the street, and use the trained gown,
which is graceful and beautiful, only in
the house 1t seems superhuous to make
such suggestion as that TO those who
spend half their time in the considera-
tion of affairs of dress. On the con
trary, however the suggestion is neces-
sary, for, with all their taste and deli
cacy, women are liable to outrage
decency; break all the laws Of health,
and show contempt for all the models Of
beauty by following a silly fashion put
in vogue by some great woman to hide
a deformity or to aggravate beauty.
Women are not emancipated from the
slavery Of their fashions.

The answer of the levy court has not
been drawn. Mr.. Bradford made certain
recommendations this afternoon, and
they met with the approval of the levy

followed the levy court will fight the

have no idea Of relinquishing the bridge
for the aggrandizement of any one or

The answer will not be filed until
sometime next week because, by mutual
consent Of counsel, the levy court has
secured an extension of time.

Clark Howell of Atlanta says;

Herald, containing Mr. Halstead's last
letter, in which he turns with evident
expectancy TO the vote Of Georgia, from
which he evidently hoped to derive some
satisfaction, because, to quote him,
"The certainty that all the Southern
states are Democratic has passed away,

the Democracy.
"How does Georgias 10000 majority

corruption in the administration of gov

FASHIONS SLAVES.

The editorial department Of Harper's
Bazaar often contains some excellent
suggestions and criticisms. A recent
number contains an article on common
sense in dress which might have been
labelled common decency in dress. The
article began by quoting from a little
woman who says:
have made up my mind that my
skirts for street wear shall clear it fully
There is no comfort in walking when one
hand must forever hitch up the hem of
ones garment lest It come into contact
with vileness and mud; Furthermore.
there is no sense in it. Commonsense
DEGREES that a short skirt shall be worn
in outdoor life.
1t is impossible for the manly mind to
comprehend how the neat and carefully
dressed woman with refined tastes and
the exquisitely delicate sensibilities Of
her sex can wear trailing skirts on the
public streets, for her own de6lement.
and to every body else's disgust; OF
how she can top herself with a big hat
at public assembly to render herself
conspicuous and annoy everybody else

content that seems like contempt for al
the world

Out While Edwin spoerl Could Not
Walk Because of It.
Michael Donaho was found by Officer
James H. Massey at Second and Adams
streets, yesterday afternoon, suffering
from alcoholism. Michael was so
knocked out by King Alcohol as to rem
der him incapable of taking care of him
self and the officer had the patrol wagon
summoned and Michael was soon in the
cells As he had not been before the
judge for four months he was let off
with fine of 81 and costs which
amounted to $270.
Dennis Sweeney was drunk yesterday
and was found by Officer Thornton at
Front and Market streets. Dennis was
ordered to leave the corner by the officer
which he did. In a short time, however
he returned and the officer was com
PEELED to arrest him. Dennis was glad
when he got off with 81 and cost fine.
Edward Spoerl was before the Judge
yesterday morning for drunkenness and
appeared before him again this morning.
Edward stated that his family lived in
San Antonio, Texas, and that he was in
this city trying to get work. 1t was as
much work as Edward cared to do in
keeping control of himself as he was so
intoxicated when he was found bv Off
Ger White. Edward was fined 50 and
costs or twenty days imprisonment
John $. MacLeroy was so drunk that
he was compelled to lie down. This he
did beyond Eleventh street bridge and
when Officer Clayville came across him.
John was sound asleep. His sleep was
continued when they arrived at the
police station and this morning he had
fully recovered from his debauch. He
has not appeared before the Judge for
five months and was therefore let off
with fine of S and costs.
