Thoughts on Muslin Underwear.

John Wanamaker, e1-Postmaster
General, merchant prince of Philadel
phia. and bright and shining light in
bethany church, has evidently been
carried off his feet by the warm wave.
In his last Mondays advertisement he
said:
Thoughts from Paris and our own
best thoughts have been sewed into our
muslin underwear-so that it is not just
like everybody's."
What will Bethany church say to
this reckless and frivolous talk?
1t is all right for Mr.. Wanamaker to
advertise muslin underwear, out the
good people Of the Quaker City want a
quiet article. They do2't want any
risky capers in it-no Paris thoughts,
even though they are mixed with MIR.
Wanamaker'S best thoughts. As the
Washington Post very properly says:
But does Mr.. Wansmaker think he
was justified In sewing in those Paris
thoughts? Does he regard Paris
thoughts as aids to happiness? Does
he consider that the women Of Phila-
delphia, more particularly the Young
and giddy, should be eucaSed In mus
lin underwear into which Paris thoughts
had been previously sewn? We hope
Mr. Wauamaker can explain this. We
venture 20 believe he can. But TO US,
at the distance from the atmosphere OF
Bethany, and regarding Philadelphia
in the light furnished by mere Wash
ington standards, it seems that he has
been inconsiderate, il not actually
wrong, 10 sewing Paris thoughts into
that muslin underwear, aud 50 scatter
ing it broadcast, cheap for cash,
throughout an innocent community.
This is our view Of 1t, and unless Mr..
Wanamaker can show that his adyer-
tisement was written without his knowl-
edge by one Of his light-minded young
men-SOme strangers 30 the sweet intu-
ences of Bethany, or some outcast from
the fOld-it will be case OF "GOOdby,

ON rae RUSSIAN TREATY.

rpMUNDs ON TIE RUSSIAN TREATY.
Ex-senator EDMUNDs, of Vermont,
IS a venerable and distinguished states
man who is ''out OF politics" from
choice and with no desire to get in
again. His estimate Of the Russian
treaty; is therefore from the point Of
view OF disinterested American, whose
service In the Senate has made him
thoroughly familiar not only with the
treaty, but with its purpose and the con-
ditions which gave rise to its enact
ment. with which the general pub
lie is not familiar. Says Senator Ed
MUNDs:
.Itfs a good treaty. There is no danger that
liucal criminals, as known In this country,
will suffer. AS TO those who put poison 10
the Cars tea, threw bombs into his ped
room or blew up the trains on whlch ne
travels. think that there is no oolectlon
to turning over such political criminals
for punishment The Russian people are
not In q condition for any form or govern
uent except an autOcrat The colored pop
ulatiOn OF the south at the close OF the cav
n war was better able to rule than are the
Russian people today"
There is no cutlery over the treaty
from anyone except cranks and Had
vised sentimentalists and the dangerous
classes, the Anarchists and bomb
throwers, themselves, who have swarmed
to this country as a safe place of refuge
from punishment for their crimes, or
an easy place wherein to carry out
their murderous theories-for the An
archist is always against the govern
ment, whether it be the despotic rule OF
the Gar or the free government OF
America.
The treaty is extremely liberal,
giving the United States government
absolute power to decide as TO whether
an offender shall be extradited, or not,
and no offender under Russian laws
can be extradited unless his offense
would be also a crime under the laws
OF the United States. Purely political
offenses do not come under its provi-
sions and therefore no honest Russian
reformer, political hero, or martyr, will
suffer by IL.

onr ,,o.t Remarkable Plant.

The most remarkable plant found
growing in the United States Is that
fragile and paradoxical wonder, the
"snow plant" Of the Sierra Nevada
Mountains. 1t Is known TO the botanist
as sarcodes sanguines. meaning
"bloody or booded flesh" Nothing In
the plant line was ever more e1quisitely
beautiful than this rosy, snow-tlnted
botanical oddly, which has been likened
to a crowned hyacinth.
1t grows TO a height OF from eight to
twenty inches, each separate bract,
sesal and miniature bell being frosted
a delicately as though done by the ice
k ng himself Although the whole
translucent spike il flushed with rose
and carmine, the petals are the richest
and most brilliant parts OF the flower,
which is fve-parted, each open bell
plainly disclosing the little frosted sta
mems and pistils.
Floriculturists Of the Pacific slope
have made many unsuccessful at
tempts to cultivate the new plant
the bulbs being too brittle TO stand
transplanting and the seeds refusing
to grow. Botantists once gave 1t a:
their opinion that the plant would moi
survive below the line OF perpetual
snow, but this idea has lately proven
erroneous One thing is certain, how
ever, it makes its early growth while
covered with many feet OF snow, bloom
ing as soon as the icy covering Is pen
etrated.

sayed From Death.

All day long the refrigerator man
had talked refrigerators. One woman
after another had stopped, peeked,
peered, questioned aud passed on with
the remark that she'd see about IL. Not
a sale had been made. His heart
ached and his voice had almost left
him. In his heart he was hoping that
not another woman would pass that
way before closing time, when one sud
denly turned the corner and came to a
halt. He uttered groan of despair
and stepped forward. There were
fourteen refrigerators standing under
the awning before her eyes, but OF
course her first query would be II he
had any refrigerators for sale. de was
preparing to answer in the affirmative
when she observed:
"You sell refrigerators. These are
refrigerators. The prices are IS, SIC
and Sl2. You guarantee that butter
won't taste Of onions IL placed side by
side. Hard wood, zinc-llned and pack
ed with charcoal. No machinery TO get
out OF order-mounted on casters
takes 10 per cent less ice than any other
refrigerator. Send me- up this $40
boXl"
She handed him her address and sic
bill, hailed a passing car and swung
herself aboard before 1t had stopped,
and the salesman stood staring at her
for a full minute before he could real
ize the situation. Then ne dashed a
tear from his eye and whispered:

probably saved me from a suicides

rher Reat q woman.

Two men named Sam Mcpherson and
VIM. McCurdy, intoxicated, of West
Wheeling, applied 10 Bridgeport au-
thorities last Saturday, saying they
wanted 10 give themselves up, IS they
had killed a woman. 1t appears the
men had taken a prostitute, woman
named Williams, from house Of i'll
fame in this city, and had taken her TO
shanty boat above West Wheeling.
Five men Joined the crowd, and they
beat the woman Till they thought they
had killed her. DR.. V. Wagner and
an officer went to the boat and found
the woman not much injured. She is
confined in the Bridgeport lookup.

PR Turnkey Resents Efforts of
A 8aro Ito Attract his Attention.
Co Is, O., June e4.-Six priso-
ners "a out Of the City Prison this
sfte ,and none of them. as yet,
hav Den recaptured. AS a result,
TuI SJ Mike Millsy's head is In
dan
s. time since the police arrested
twd zncinnati crooks, Sam E. Sedan
and rank Schweininger. They were
slatl suspicion" and were believed
to p implicated in some OF the numer-
Gus burglaries. No direct evidence
cotd be obtained against them and
th ef were given days" on minor
chsges. Sedan had woman who
g9'e her name as Nellie Sedan, and
ws, also known as Kennedy. She cali
edirequently at the prison ard carried
foOd to them. The men were finally
separated and placed in different cor
riGors.
Friday Nellie came to the prison with
a basket of food, and was allowed to
TAX with Sedan alone. AT an
early hour this morning suspi-
cipus noise was heard, and an investigs-
ton revealed that Sedan and negro
burglar named Lee Johnson, who has
confessed TO numerous roboeries, had
sawed one Of the iron bars In the WIN
dow clear off, and few hours more
work would have given them freedom.
1t was found that the work had
been done with steel case-knife
which had been hacked into a saw.
The detective learned that the cutlery
had beed stolen by Nellie from her
boarding house, and she was arrested,
and has cinch on a penitentiary SEN
tence. She is young woman or rather
prepossessing appearance. Beyond the
statement that she formerly lived in
Cincinnati, she refuses to talk.
Later developments showed that Mel
lie had not confined her attentions to
Sedan. Sehweininger had also been
presented with knife. He was con-
fined with large namber OF prison
ers In the south corridor, While they
sang and danced to drown the noise,
he sawed one Of the bars in the top
of the cage, and lending it down made
an opening through which he pulled
himself and then dropped to the cor
ridor. Watching his opportunity
he walked into the open CORR
dor, passed the turkeys desk and then
through the front door to freedom.
Five other prisoners, one by one, went
through the same performance. Dur
Ing these proceedings prisoner
nomed Neff tried vainly to attract the
turkeys attention, and even sent
a note by one OF the men who passed
the door, but the officer grutfiy ordered
him to "tend to his own business, and
quit bothering him." II was an hour
later when the exodus was discovered.
All the fugitives were small offenders,
but some were dangerous crooks.

ALICE LEVERAGE.
Making Herself Conspicuous on the Ohio
Side.

Bridgeport police authorities arrest
ed a disgraceful crowd yesterday at
Whiskey Run, in West Wheeling. In
all their experience it is probable the
three police and the marshal engaged
in making the arrests, never had
more depraved case brought to their
notice. They had heard that five or
six men from Wheeling were living in
an old shanty with one wo-
man. This woman was forced to
be Alice Leverage, now a thoroughly
bad woman, but once, 1t Is said, she
was quite beautiful.
She lives on the South Side, has been
living with the men for several weeks,
and it is said that every year this has
been the case of late. The scenes in
that locality became so beastly that
good persons living there made
information against the occu-
pants OF the shanty. When the
officers surrounded the den, the
woman was perfectly nude. John Maue,
Jack DeVinney and man named
Clark, all young men of the South Side,
and the women were arrested. One
man, who was half sober, escaped, but
all the rest were beastly drunk. Then
began the difficulty. The gang was too
much intoxicated to walk TO Bridge
port. An express wagon was sent for
and the crowd dumped into 1t, and they
were finally got TO the lookup, where
they are confined. They will have
hearing this morning in the Bridgeport
notice court.
