SHORT STOPS.
What the People are Saying.

Capt. Shardein'S "open letter" to the
voters is one of the pleaSanteSt surprises
of the city campaign. As long as the
Captain kept mum, great many people
might have thought the Captain knew a
heap. but he don't propose to tell ii"
Now they will swear that he don know
anything and don't know how to tell it.
The Captain starts out with this beau
tiful sentence: "On the eve of an impOr-
tant election, which shall decide who
shall govern our city during the next two
years at least, it is not unreasonable that
my fellow citizens should expect some
expression from me regarding the issues
involved in such election" And right
here he breaks down, and tells the voters
that if elected he only expects to be a
figure head
The rest of the open letter is unintereSt-
ing until it reaches the bottom where he
tells the people that be has the
friendship and support of Bryan CaIIag.

Plain Linen Gowns.

In describing the gowns worn at an in
formal luncheon tho other day some one
said that Mrs. q. of Fifth avenue wore
linen gown. This intelligence seemed
to surprise the listeners. Plain linen for
swell luncheon they considered 80 in
appropriate.
Opinions were changed after the dress
had been described. The linen was of
chocolate brown tint made over a silk
foundation. The plain skirt was full,
made with FIVE seams, end inside were
three frills Of brown. blue and buff,
forming the balayeuse. The jacket had
an Eton front, with pointed revers edged
with soft cording Of blue silk. In tho
back it was tight fitting, with long coat
tails and two big silver buttons mt tho
waist line. A vest Of pale blue crepe do
chine was worn, with row Of small,
glittering silver buttons up the front.
Diamond studs set i'm blue enamel
peepcd out from the emaculate linen
cheinisette. The coat sleeves were fin
ished with gauntlet cuffs of blue silk.

Absolutely
Pure

"A battered silver whistle used by
the abolitionist, John Brown, to sum
mon his followers to secret meetings
shortly before the civil war, is owned
by eou sin of Col. Lewis Washington,
of G georgetown, ID. c. When Brown
was arrested and searched he gave up
everything else willingly, but begged
leave to retain this, OF course the re-
quest was no. granted. The whistle is
said to resemble in shape long-tailed
tadpole with dorsal fin extending the
length OF its body. What corresponds
to the tail is u slender pipe through
which current of air is blown flute
wise across the hollow bulb at the end,
givi ng thin yet mellow sound of pc
culiar timbrc that is very penetrating.
Residents of Harpers Ferry said after
the capture that for weeks before they
had heard that whistle sounds at night
without knowing its meaning. But
the negroes knew it, and for them it
WAS the engine whistle for the under
ground railway.

MS we may talk of their being so, GUS
talk is not an echo of our reason, Ev.
cry man of us relies on their courage
measurably in the ordinary affairs of
life, and entirely in most of its crises.
We usually begin with our mothers, and
end with our wives But whatever
their relation, they are an inestimable
help to us in every great trial by their
calmness, strength, decision and hope
fulness. Unhappy he who at such a
time has no feminine counselor, sus-
tainer and friend. How many men
have borne testimony to the invaluable
aid of woman, when the future black
ened, and fortune seemed inexorablel
How many more might bare such testi-
mony were they but willing to speak!
Is woman not constantly upholding
weakness, inspiring morality, stimu-
lating higher motives? Not hun
dredth part of her efficiency in this
way is known, nor ever will be known.
She is rarely conscious of it herself; it
is regarded by her as part of her duty,
as a matter of course, and he who is
supported, lifted to loftier level, often
chooses, through self love, to ignore
her assistance. Her acts, under such
conditions, are the result of moral cour-
age, the essence of all courage, and of
the kind of which men have SO plenti

Two Woman's Clubs and the Noble Work
They Are Doing.
A new and worthy benefcence is
that of the Helping Hand Visitors club
which has its headquarters at IS East
Fourteenth street. It's object is to
bring about introduction and commu-
nication between people having homes
in the country who would receive into
their households for short summer
vacation well recommended young
women from the city willing to spend
part of their time each day helping
with sewing or other domestic duties
in return for home during their vaca-
ton time, and the respectable young
women clerks and seamstresses, whose
means are too limited to allow of pay
ing regular rates for board, and who
would Xix to avail themselves of such
opportunity for summer sojourn in the
country. 1t is greatly desired that phil
anthropical women of the smaller towns
and villages will take up the work and
communicate with the central socie-
ty in the nearest city, for the work is
not confined to New York alone. An
other summer vacation organization,
which has demonstrated it's raison
d'etre, is the Woman's Rest Tour asso-
citation of Boston. This society appeals
to women of different type, and its
object is to enable women of moderate
means to travel intelligently with con-
genial companions and with the small
est possible expense. The yearly fee Of
one dollar entities the member to a
carefully prepared schedule of expenses
whose data are gathered from actual
experience, and include a list of relia

ory publications and itineraries, with
costs, throughout the year. Women

WOMEN oE TIE SOUTH.
Their Recent Congress In Memphis Was nj
Eye-Opener to All.

Eyc-Opener 10 an
The recent meeting OF the Womans
congress, in Memphis, was an eye
opener TO old fogydom, north and
south. II proved what has long been
evident to the close observers OF our
new southern life; that the old social
empire of southern women is TO be re-
newed in the high educational service
of training the daughters for n larger
and loftier influence in 1.-THE grand and
awful time" now upon MS Not the
least significant feature in this develop
ment is the going forth of an army of
several thousand young woman teach
ers of the colorcd race. In Washlng1
ton, u. G., indeed, in every city and ais
most every considerable southern town,
can be seen an exhibition OF good
school-kceping by the superior class OF
these teachers that needs no qualiiica-
ton in the hearty commentator OF
any generous and broad-minded expert
All this is in keeping with the steady
uplift of our new American life. The,
superior influential women of the south
are American in every fiber OF their be-
ing. They waste no time in arranging
any pathetic or picturesque wardrobe
of sachcloth and ashes. Their mourn
ing over the past is the Christian ac-
ceptation of an inevitable dark provi-
dence, already shot through with the
radiance of the sunrise of new and
grander hope in better day near at
hand. That mysterious and tumultu-
GUS past, in its own time, will be EN-.
balmed in the rising literature of this
portion of the republic. But just now,
the mighty obligation and inspiration
of lifting ZIP the six millions of south
ern young America to its own place in
the new republic is broodihg over the
heart and stimulating the mind of tho
most thoughtful and consecratcdwomcn
in all these great and growing COM
monwealths.-0 Ruth jefferson, in
