late hour this afternoon The president re-
turned unsigned to the interior depart

Choctaw and Chickasaw Indians conveyed
to the government their equity title to
Cheyenne and Arapahoe land in Okla
homa. for which the last congress appro-

turned the deeds to the interior department
with a statement to the effect that with
the press of business during the last hours
of his administration he had no time to
examine the deeds. and hence was COM
PEELED to return them without approval.
This takes the matter over TO the incom-

statesmen and philanthropists have
found no satisfactory way of dealing
with the question.
there are two points for consideration,
one the surface and temporary facts.
the other fundamental causes.
The surface question. whether it is
better for the state TO recognize this
evil and regulate it, has been discussed
and tried Ill all countries, and as yet
there is no agreement of opinion among
mOralists. Like the liquor traffic. it Is
difficult to regulate a perverted appe-
tite, or mitigate its penalties by law. es-
peciallv when its victims are innumer-
able and in all classes of society.
Hence l shall deal with the causes of
the evil and suggest the radical work by
which men and women can be lifted to
higher plane of companionship.
As the mother is the great factor in
civilization, all improvements in social
conditions must begin with her. We
must have new and higher type of
womanhood, in order to develop the
moral and spiritual forces in humanity.
to inspire our sons with higher ideals of
life, with nobler aspirations and ambi-
tions than have as yet controlled their
actions.
The first step in this reform is to edu-
cate, elevate and emanclpate women
from The old idea of subsection and de-
pendence. To begin with the girls,
they must be trained to self-suppOrt, to
self-respect, to the dignity of pecuniary
independence. Alexander Hamilton

VIEWS OF SUPT. BYRNES.

NEW YORK, Dec. 29.-It is hardly
necessary for me to say that it is the
business and the duty of police officer
to enforce the law as he finds it, and
whether the law is or is not in accord
with his personal views and theories. 1t
is therefore in no sense of impugning
that duty that reply to the inquiry as
to my Views Oh subject that has for
ages challenged the attention of
the law makers and moraIsts.
We learn from an incident in
the Bible that the So-called social evil
flourished and was tolerated in the age
of the patriarchs, and no doubt the
early civilization of Egypt had that evil
for one of its features, for 1t is safe to
presume that if there were female out
casts in Palestine, then comparatively
primitive region, the same class was
much more numerously represented In
the great and crowded cities of the
Egyptians. We know that the courte-
san class was tolerated in Athens and in
Rome, the centerS of ancient empire,
both intellectual and military, and that
in Athens women of the kind in ques-
ton sometimes achieved great distinc-
ton and influence. And so the
world has gone OH down to our
own era. Savage suppression has
sometimes been attempted, but
the almost invariable rule has been
either the legal recognition of the vice,
as i'll European continental cities, or its
liberation without legal sanction. as in
pertain IF
tlced that in the recently published
memoirs of the Duke du Pasquier,"
who was project of police in Paris I'M
der the first Napoleon, attention is
given TO this subject, and the duke
describes at length and with some pride
the success of his efforts as project of
police to make the social evil as little
Injurious as possible to the public. He
does not hint at suppression as being
possible in Paris in his day. Imay add
that PasQuier's character for honesty
and morality is not questioned i'll his
tory. 1t commanded the regard even of
the first Napoleon.
Can New York accomplish what no
great community in the world has ever
accomplished, from the beginning of
civilization until today? 1t is not for me
to answer. My task is to do my duty,
and that have always endeavored. and
will endeavor faithfully to perform.
But this will say: New York is the
most moral city i'll the world, from what
ever standpoint considered, and in no
city in the, world are life and liberty
more secure; in no city is vice less os-
tentatious or less offensive. l remember
reading statement by the London cor
respondent of a leading New York news
paper 10 the effect that while walking a
few squares in London he was accosted
not less than dozen times by unfortu-
nate women. Here such an experience
woul1 be utterly impossible. But, as |
have said. 1t is for the police to enforce
the law, without regard to results. At

life are impelled by varied motives. A
better class, but men are generally
prompted by lust. and women by the
need of money. Hence, just as other
and more profitable avenues are open to
them, and education refines their tastes
and associations, Il ranks in these
social pandemoniums will be gradually
depleted.
Virtue and pecuniary independence
90 hand in hand. While training our
daughters to self-respect, to more re-
fined and dignified manners, we must
train our sons to more chivalrous feel
ings towards all women. A good rule
for every young man 20 follow is to treat
the girls in his circle of acquaintance
just as he desires all young men to treat
his sisters. Surely there should be as

that whatever can be done will be done
for the reformation of the erring, and
every sincere, humane and judicious
movement of the kind will have nv
earnest sympathy. 1t may be added.
however, that the blame for being un-
fortunate and outcast does not always
rest upon the unfortunate and the out
cast, and that some of the admoni-
tons addressed to that class
might we'll be pointed in other
directions. There would be far less
OF the social evil if the good people.

every other city would do all that is DOS

Special Correspondence of the Globe.
NEW YORK, Dec. 29.-I have. still a
few words more to say about evening
gowns. l mentioned mnire and satin as
the popular favorites, and now l must
add that these materials look better
with revers to set off the bodice than
with fussy effect such as is derived
from lace OF chiffon. Where the seams
of the skirt are emphasized with inser-
ton, the insertion is carried around the
edge of the revers also. and used as a
waist band. The revers are cut very
large and spreading.
While on this subject of wide revers
L will speak word of warning to ladies
who are taken with this stylish but
widening effect. Let me beg of you to
try and preserve sense of the fitness
of things. Do not, Deseech of you,
get too wide. The sleeves, especially
the sleeves of evening gowns, are
spreading more and more every day-or
should say, perhaps, every night. At
a recent cOncertI sal spellbound before
stout prima donna whose balloon sleeves
or white satin spread for quite eight
inches on either side of her ample frame,
Increasing proportions which were
already quite wide enough. When
she had finished a duet warbled
with another queen of song. she
came out of it crushed on one side. The
sother queen of song had pressed against
her and demolished eight inches of her
glory. Truly. nowadays a woman's
glory is her sleeves. But they are really
getting too big. Every woman should
study her height and general proper
tons, or let her gown builder do it for
her. and her sleeves ought to be in pro-
portion to her frame. The tall. thin
woman can do no better than make all
the use that she can of this style as
long as it lasts, for it, like all other
styles, is but fleeing. IL gives her what
she wants, solidity and width.
But the woman who is inclined to en-
bonpoint-which is the modern way of
saying that any one is stout-shOuld be
temperate in the matter of sleeves. 1t
is better form just now to have the
principal fullness come just above the
elbow.
The very full. curly-lool1ing basques
are very suitable for evening gowns.
Three of these of white MORE, OH a
gown of the same material. lined with
shrimp pink satin, Nile green or amber
color, the fullness of the basques giving
glimpses OF the colored lining, have
very chic effect. a sleeve of the same
style-three frilly tiers-goes we'll with
the basqued bodice, and three lined
founces at the foot of the skirt finish
the costume off splendldly.
For walking gowns the use of fur is
still much encouraged by Redfern. as
our illustrations will show. Although
coats are very much worn. Redfern is
making a great many walking costumes.
which are exchanged when in the house
for house gowns. These costumes are
very stylish whether for carriage wear
or walking. but there is nothing of the
indoor style about them.

much honor and honesty In the
relations of the sexes as men
show in their dealings with each
other, in the world of work. 1t
is this fine cObweb of faith that men
and women have in each other that
holds society together; faith that has
survived innumerabe receptions and
disappointmentS and will remain stead
fast as long as the world stands. Hence
every betrayal of love and friendship is
terrible shock to the vital principle on
which society is based. When a girl
INDUCES her vanity and love of
admiration by trifiing with young men,
amuses herself with the jealousy
she can stir between them, she is
undermining the virtue of the whole,
circle i'll which she moves. The male
tlrt is equally responsible and more de-

ranks of the thoughtless and corrupt.
Education, you say. is a slow process
for such crying evil. but it is the sure
one. While we welcome all such efforts
as DR.. Parkhurst'S for the repression of
this evil, we must begin the more radical
work of creating higher types of men
and women.
1t will take time, but the work can be
accomplished. 1t took 800 years to build
an Egyptian pyramid: twelve genera
tons OF men spent their lives on that
one object. Was not the labor of those
who cleared and covered the ground as
important as of those vino laid the cap
stones at last. So those who will begin
today more rational training for girls
will lay the foundation for that grand
type of womanhood that shall yet re-
deem the race.

This is the risk to be avoided at any
and every cost, and not by taking care
merely of those who will reform. Those
who will not reform are by all odds the
most dangerous. There will have to be
good many homes established to take
them in. for taken in they must be
somehow. or the end will be worse than
the beginning. BY all means let us re-
move temptation, not merely move it
from the avenues where it otfends the
rich, to the tenements where it may
corrupt the poor. God knows they have
burdens and temptations enough with
out adding that.
For the rest let every man sweep be-
fore his own door and sweep clean.
