WILL THEY DARE IT?
The Threat of Chicago Women to
Wear Short Skirts.
Chicago Tribune


VIII Chicago women in some moment of
enthusiasm pledge themselves to wear
street dresses that hang above the ground
three inches or more?"
This is the question that has been agitat-
ing the minds Of various members Of the
gentle sex IN this city since they read the
account Of the action taken by their sisters
in Kansas City.
Ii is a serious matter demanding serious
thought, and that is just what is being given
it SO far as The women who stand at the
head OF the dress reform movement here are
concerned, their sentiments are those of un-
qualified approval, tinged with admiration
ard even envy. II is hard to have little
place like Kansas City steal a march upon
Chicago, but there are other feminine views
on the subject Of clothing which are not
adequately represented by the women who
advocate radical modification of conven-
tonal attire.
A prominent North Side society woman
was interviewed on the subject yesterday
afternoon.
Three inches above the ground!" was
her first utteranee. Nothing more likely"
The North Side woman proceeded to ex-
plain.

John McCOmb and W. w. Story. the

author, look much alike. though there Is
much dissimlarity in their talents. Nc
Combs strong point is in his executive du-
ties. He was managing editor of the old
Alta for many years, and later on Warden
OF the penitentiary at San Quentin.
Story is a well-knowD author of novels
and verse. His "Roba di Roma" has been
widely read, and his essays on art and
letters is considered a standard work. He
is known chiefly to San Franciscans, how
ever, because he looks like John McComb.

ton, the biographical writer aud eSsayIst,
have faces, the general features Of which
are striklngly similar. The nose. the eyes,
the mouth are almost exactly alike. and the
seeming difference in the shape of their
heads lies only in the manner Of comhiDg
their hair. Both have the same broad fore
head.

Hats and Elevators.

Three men out of four seem TO be ignor-
ant of the fact that 1t is bad form" to take
off their hats in the presence of ladies in
public elevators.
They might save themselves such a
gaucherie by bearing in mind thai an eeva-
tor partakes OF the character of the building
in which it is located. If the building is a
private residence, or one in which 1t is
customary for men to remove their hats on
entering it, the same rule obtains In the
elevator, as matter Of course. But there
Is no reason for removing a hat In the ele-
vator Of house in whose halls it is allowed
to remain OH the head There is nothing
sacred about an elevator which should war
rant the observance of one rule in il and
another in other parts of the hnuse. The
elevators of most buildings are simply rub
lie highways, and there is no more sense ia
taking off your hat because the ''lift" con-
tains lady than there is in taking it of in
the corridors In which there are ladies, or
in the streetcars
Courtesy Is at ali times due ladies, and 1t

Illogical caprice, and there is not one form
Of courtesy for elevators and another form

elevators. and thereby keep them out of
other peoples and your own way, while

Tbackeray will be read and studied.
Another striking likeness is that between
Edwin Booth, the actor, and G. w. Percy,
the architect. Everybody who has seen
these two men has been struck with the

ON THE KLAMATH.
An Obstruction That Has
Been Removed.
ERECTION OF A FISH-LADDER.
The Imprisoned Trout Can Now Reach
the HeadwaterS of the
River.

About four years ago the Fish Commits
sloners had constructed small fish
hatchery at the mouth of Shovel Creek and
within 100 yards of where the mountain
stream empties into the klamath River in
SiskiyOu County.
The aim of the Commissioners in erecting
hatchery at that point was to procure a
supply of spawn from the rainbow trout
during the summer months, when the
fishes were running up Shovel Greek on
their journey to spawning beds.
The experiment proved very successful
for few years, when the supply of rain
bows began to diminish perceptibly, and
eventually the hatchery, or rather the
annex nursery to the Sssons State fish
hatchery, was shut down temporarily.
The cause for the unexpected falling off
in the number Of trout puzzled the supeTin-
tendent of hatcheries, Richardson, as all Of
the stripped fishes were Immediately re-
turned to the stream from which they
were taken, consequently their mum bers
could not have been at all reduced by the
process Of stripping them of milt and
spawn.

EASTERN FAKIRS.
Swindling Number of Market-Street
Merchants.

The Eastern advertisement fakir has COM
menced the season in this city by spreading
his net in Market street. with the result
of landing a heavy catch at each haul.
The last scheme is beiHg worked by two
well-dTessed plausible sharpers, who enter
merchants store with huge and hand
somely gilt frame. Ii is so large and heavy
as to be handled with difficulty by the pair.
In the center is large view of a public
building, and the remainder Of the space is
divided into eighteen squares, which are
offered as advertising space at IS a space,
and on the representation that arrange
ments have been made with the proprietor
Of some place of resort 10 permanently
hang the frame in his premises.
Having secured the required amount OF
patronage. the frame is hung up when
agreed and the advertiser is required to
send a representative to bear evidence that
the contract is fulfilled and payment is de-
manded.
Immediately after the collections are
made the sharpers remove the frame ard
start to work the next block. The price
being low. they ill the frame in few
hours and are clearing $50 or $40 a day.
They have managed thus to swindle quite

No Wonder 1t Broke.
New York Herald.

Tho couplings between two cars Of train
drawing out Of the Long Island depot re-
ceatly parted. The beil-rope snapped like
the report of a pistol and the engine and
forward section, relieved of tho great
weight OF several runaway cars, leaped for
ward and started down the track at a
frightful speed.
The passengers in the first of the divorced
cars hurried to the forward end to watch
the rapidly disappearing baggage-car and
locomotive.
"Oh, what the matter?" quered an ex-
cited woman to her seatmate.
Nothing serious. Don't alarm yourself,
madam he replied. THE train has merely
partedw
The woman sank back treasured, and
then, catching glimpse OF the frayed end
OF the bell rope, she said: well, don't
wonder at 1t. Did they suppose little
string like that would hold these great,
heavy cars together"

The two men is that both were men Of let
Sers.
Here the resemblance stops entirely. One
man, great master in letters wrote in a
keen sstirical vein some of the greatest
novels sad most charming rOmances that
have ever been produced. Thackeray was a
thinker and hated all hypocrisy and form.
Society and its shams and weaknesses were
his fOils. What he hated most he ridiculed
most.
Bishop Kip IS another kind Of man.
From his earliest years he has been welded
10 that form Of theological dogma In which
there are more forms and conventions than
in any other Protestant creed.
he, too, is a Teformer, but denunciation
and prayerful pleading are his methods.
literary composition his style is that Of
