The Incubation of Crinol;nes.

If there is one human being that de
spise more than another, it is man mil
liner. Ladies dress is a mystery to me
and my ideas in regard to it are some
what vague. But as newspapers ar
raising an outcry against crinolines :.
viii venture to explain their incubation
They were due to the desire in an alb
normal fit of common sense of womer
to have rational costume.
Either thequeen or one of the princesse,
wore, or was said TO wear, at Balmora
thick boots coming high up the leg. Al
loyal women insisted upon following
this example and wearing "Balmorai
boots" The ladies had no objection ts
show these boots, and, still being under
the influence of common sense, objected
to their dresses trailing on the ground
when they were out walking. The mex
step was to have a scarlet petticoat oveI
the flannel and other underclothes.
This scarlet petticoat came about hall
way down the calf and over it was Wort
a skirt which fell TO the feet when in.
doors, but which when out walking was
drawn up by cord in festoons, coming
little above the scarlet petticoat. Tc
this costume were added stockings OF
some bright color and a blouse with
wide sleeves and waist band, with over
it a zouave sort of jacket. What con.
tend is that the crinoline was not, unit
exaggeration set in, a cage, but merely
one detail in pretty and practical cos

IHE ARGUS. TUESDAY. NJ AhCH Il. 1898.


W. A. Ehleb has declined to accept
the republican nomination for alder
man in the Fourth ward. and Boss
Collins has decided upon Charles
Fiebig for the vacancy on the ticket.
He has called a caucus for tomorrow
evening to approve of the choice.
Mr.. Ehleb was regarded by the re-
publicans as the strongest candidate
they had this year; in fact the only
one who would stand any kind OF
show against Maucker. and conse-
quently there is much weeping in the
republican camp over his declina-
ton, practically conceding. as it
does, the election of Mr.. Maucker.

spnApLrNG WASN'T IN 1T.

About three weeks ago Kansas
City man named Pierce came To this
city and while here matched a foot
race with John Spradling OF this city.
The race was to have taken place last
SUNDAY, but Pierce failed to material
i've and Spadling took the forfeit
money, - side having been posted
70 insure tho race. AS Pierce was not
here to run, one G. w. Cooper. whose
real name, by the way, is John Rob-
bins, volunteered to take Pierce's place
and a race was matched for S23 Il side.
The Baxter boys thought they mad a
foot racer in Spradling and did not
hesitate to put up the required lucre.
A considerable amount OF money was
nut up ON the race before the particl-
pants went out to the track and much
more was put up just before the lamb
was crucified. After the fellows who
accompanied the Mcclure man TO this
city had bet all they could at even
money they offered odds of $40 TO $50
and the Mcclure man himself offered
20 bet that he would beat Spradling a
ward. This ''crack" somewhat damp
ened the ardor of the Baxter boys and
they refused to do any more betting.
Then the spriniers stripped for the
race, Spradling appearing first in a
neat black running suit and showing
up in pretty good form; but when the
McCune man appeared in fine run.
ming costume aud showing upin much
finer form than Spradling the Baxter
boys began to realize that they had no
snap and their iair stood straight up.
Oae hundred yards were stepped of
aud the participants got onto the course
ready for the race. After much ma.
neuvcrimg they started, the McCune
mans experience giving him about
ten feet start, and he never lost the ten
feet either. In fact be gained little
all the way through and finished about
twelve feet ahead. 1t is believed he
coull have beaten Spreading twenty

lative or judicial. Where Mr.. Cleveland
has committed mistake as president
was in failing to execute the laws with
regard to the deportation of the Chinese.
A fearless Los Angeles judge has forced
his hand in this regard. Where he has
failed as a party leader is in ignoring
the Chicago platform both as respects
the tariff and silver.
Down with man worship in the
United States, and usher in the day
when a man, no matter what position
he may occupy for the ponce, can only
dare to carry his head high when he has
fulfilled the pledges on which he has
been elected. Without the priceless
virtue of fidelity no politician counts
for anything. We are not without hopes
that Grover Cleveland will finally make
up his mind that the Chicago platform
is the law and the prophets so far as he
is concerned. Any little controversies
that will have had the result of bring
ing him up to the strict line OF his
pledges will not have been fruitless.

enough to debar him from receiving
that position. offered to contribute
$1,000 and 30 did Mr.. Gilder. ! visited
several capitalists and received the
assurance that $50. 900 could be raised at
once and without publicity, providing
Mr.. Van Allen would cease to be candi-
date for Office. But Mr.. Van Allen
refused. You can quote me as saying
that Van Allen did contribute $50. 900 to
the presidential campaign fund. You
can also say do not believe the ap-
pointment of Van Allen should be con-
frmed by the senate" Cleveland, feel
ing the full force of the mistake he had
made in nominating Van Allen, urged
Whitney to abandon him, but to no
purpose. This is one Of the most de-
plorable ESTABLISHMENTS of the late
campaign. The senate, at all events,
should refuse to confirm the unfit and
ecandalous nomination..
The herald., 1893-09-28

THERE is something very comical
about the way the fund available for the
deportation of the Chinese is being dis
cussed. We were first told that there
was no money in hand for this purpose.
We were then assured that there were
only $4,000 thus available. Then, in
response to resolution OF inquiry OF
Senator White, we were informed that
there were s6l, 900 which could be ap-
piled to the enforcement of the law.
Still later we were notified that Marshal
Gard could not defray the expenses OF
paying the railway fares of the departing
Cinnamon. Still later District Attornev
Denis announced that the funds were
forthcoming. Now ii SCI, 900 are really
available, as Secretary Carlisle informed
the senate was the case, how much
money is needed to deport Cinnamon ?
Surely this large sum ought to be amply
sufficient for the deportation OF at least
Q thousand Mongolians? If arranged
for in job lots they could be deported fo1
half the sum that now appears to be
forthcoming for that purpose.

Some Gossip About the Races This

Some Gossip About the Races This
fl Week.
There Is now in Los Angeles probably
q greater number of fast bicycle riders
than has ever been assembled in the state
at any previous time. They are the lead
ing riders of Southern California, there
being OF the northern men in the city as
yet.
The races will be between southern
riders, and the time will be unusually
fast. All OF the older riders have i'm
proved since the last bicycle races in
the city May 20th. and very creditable
performances will be the result.
II Ia safe to say that there are at least
10 men who can do mile in less than
2:S0. Several have Cotton down to 2 20,
which Is unusually fast riding.
From present Indications 1t is proba-
BILE that the much discussed question of
supremacy between Fox and d. L. Burke
will be settled. Fox's advent into the
racing world dates back about one year
and half. Burke has been riding con-
siderably longer than this. When Fox
began to show how how he could ride
and Burke retired from racing the fret
part of this year, large num-
Der Of admirers of the younger
man gave it as their opinion
that he could defeat Burke. The matter
seemed destined to remain unsettled
but UNEXPECTEDLY Burke entered into
three of the most prominent of the
events OF the coming meet. He has
been in the east TOR several months past
but will be on hand all right for the
races.
1t is stated by the conservatives that
il Burke rides in any of the events he
will be in good condition as he is not
the man to take any chances of defeat at
the hands of young riders, and more
particularly Fox. Burke or the "Great
D. L." as he is more generally known.
hassthe credit for having cool head
and the ability of "sizing up" any event
intp which he goes. Fox, on the other
hand, has not had anything like the ex-
perience of the older rider and it may
be possible that Burke's judgment will
carry the day.
Neither of the men have ever been
seen at their best and it will be q race
to the queens taste If the two come to-
gether. .4

ALL wisdom will not die when the
present city council ceases to live. That
body appointed meat inspector. Well
and good. He appears to be COM
petent official. This is as it should be.
But when this city official goes and
brands q rotten hog or rotten steer he
simply sfixes upon it the seal of the
city's condemnation and there an end.
There is nothing in this process that
prevents the owner from selling this
branded meat to the next conner, after
having carefully removed that portion
of the CARCASS which was ornamented
by the brand. Evidently supple
mental ordinance is needed providing
for the removal OF the carcass to the
crematory. Here it will doubtless be
disposed oi secundum artem.
