There Is a queer club in the old German
city OF Manz on the loft bank Of tho Rhine.
1t is club Of nun organized to reform the
dress OF women: it is an antilong skirts club.
Its members stand out against tho Mainz fem
mime fashion OF wearing trailing trains in the
streets. and take Pledge to boycott the wear-
ers OF such trains and to refrain from appear
ing publicly in their company If the Manz
men live UP to this boycott and appoint walk

Manz women will DO put in Iuandary. Will

Will tho men Of NIainz push tho skirt boycott
SO fhr as to keep tho women from enjoying the

These questions must be argued out between
tho rcso.uto members of the Manz club and
their ombIttered antagonists

Years ago. the fashion OF wearing trailing
skirts in the streets existed among tho women
OF this country Some OF tho mon disliked the
fashion, but they did not dare to say anything
about it, so well established is tho supremacy
OF woman In tho United States. But up arose
among the women themselves a gallant band
of skirt reformers. They hal their head
quarters ut Chnutauqua. They tackled the
question. They started m anti-long skirts

against tho alleged evil. and printed tracts
against it, tho men kept quot. Tho cam

gain ground; cheering reports were received
at ChautauGua last summer from all parts OF

there arc excellent prospects OF the complete
triumph OF tho rcformers-long may they

Why. In tho name OF NoAn's ark. does the
now American Whnleback Syndicate talk Of
getting its leot Of whalebacks built In British
shipyaris and put under the British flag. in
stead Of building thcm in American shipyards
and sailing them under the American ilagp Is
it patriotic. Is it sound policy. is it In the In
tcrest of American shipping or American COM
merce. to go abroad for vessels that can be
built at home. for II kind Of vessel that is OF
American invention. that has been built in
this country. and that Is to be used IN tho At
lantic and the Pacific for tho American trade 2
1t is not! 1t cannot Dol The great capitalists
who hnve organized the now whale
back company will mako mistake in ON
ploying British shipbuilders. They will throw
discredit upon American genius. will discour-
age American shipbuikling. will deprive thou
sands of American skilled workmen Of en-
ploymcnt, and will compel such American
sailors as they may procure to do service I'M
der a foreign flag. 1t should not be so. surely
not. We have already put American built
whalchacks on the Western lakes: we have put
them on tho high seas: We arc building them
all the time in tho shipynrds OF West SUPERIOR
we are even preparing to build thcm for ser
vico on the Mississippi: we have facilities for
building them in a score Of American ports {:
we can build sQuadrous Of them in New York
| and Brooklyn.
But we are told that they can be built mo
chcaply in British shipyards than in American:
| and we suppose they can. for American wages
are not paid to British workmen. Aftor all
this has been said and admitted. however. 1t
mus. yet DO borne in mind that these whale
| backs arc to mako their profit out OF the
American trade and that their owners owe
| something to the country in which they have
| made money. and in prosecuting tho trade with
| which they expect to make still moro money.
| We know exactly what it costs to build a
| whalctack Of any tonnage in this country:
| and It is q fact that they can DO built here at a
| very slight advance over tho foreign cost
We cannot help saying that we regret to

can company in which some of the leading cap
itaists OF the United States are Interested.

The Pinkerton officers say they are
not at all worried by the inquiry and
say the committees work of investiga-

specifically directed toward the Home

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark, Nov. l6-Thc
democrats of Mountain View held a
presidential election celebration in the
district schoolhouse Wednesday night,
and terrible disaster ended the pro-
ceedings prematurely. Anvil firing
and the discharge of fireworks were
features of the jollifcation. and as q
consequence a large quantity of ex-
plosives had been provided. A portion
of these had been stored in the school
house.
During the speech-makin9 and while
the building was packed with men,
women and children. two kegs of
powder exploded The results were
frightful. The schoolhouse was
totally wrecked and most of its
occupants buried in the ruins.
Those who could extricate them
selves set about at once
to rescue the others. Shrieks and
means came from the mass of wrecked
timbers, and it was evident that the
calamity was terrible one. The
debris took fire in several places, and
it required hard work to prevent the
cremation of the persons who were i'm
prisoped. The flames were subdued,
however, and only one person suffered
by the fire.
A son and daughter of Silas Graham
were taken out dead, and Berry Sher-
cd, one Of the most prominent resi-
dents of Washing on county. was so
badly injured that he has since died.
Another man whose name has not
been learned was also killed Fifteen
other persons were injured, some fatal

horrible agonies, mentally as we'll as

the ruins. He was pinned down Ly
