WILL THEY DARE 1T?
The Threat of Chicago Women to
Wear Short Skirts.

The Threat Of Chicago Women to
Wear Short Skirts.
Chicago Tribune.
viii Chicago women in some moment
of enthusiasm pledge themselve to
wear street dresses ''that hang above
the ground three inches or more?"
That is the question that has been
g itating 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.
1t is a serious matter demanding
serious thought, and that is Just what is
being given. So far as the women who
stand at the head of the dress reform
movement here are concerned, their
sentiments are those of unqualified APP
proYal, tinged with admiration and even
envy. 1t is hard to have little place
like Kansas City steal 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 mOdifica-
tions of conventional attire.
A prominent North side society wom
an was interviewed Oh the subject yes
terday afternoon.
Three inches above the ground!"
was her first utterance. Nothing
more likely"
The North side woman proceeded to
explain.
You see," said she, "since winter
began the French dressmakers have
been shortening skirts. The newest
reception toilets clear the ground COM
pletely; the street gowns are Topped off
in corresponding ratio. All the posi-
bilitieS point, therefore, to regime Of
brevity in the matter of skirts, the like
of which women have not experienced
for many year.
II really don't think that the action
of the Kansas City Society of Woman
SuffragiStS will have much influence in
bringing about this revolution. Even the
force of their example would avail
little against the dictum of the Paris
fashion-makers. But by cooperation
the two can work wonders. l wouldn't
be surprised if the Kansas City re-
formers had received tip from the
French capital, and had governed their
action accordingly.
There is an element that will enter
more or less into the general attitude
toward the new fashion,"
Here she hesitated. The reporter
waited in respectful silence. Finally
she continued.

OUR NAVY ADMIRED.

WASHINGTON, April 16.-At the re-
quest of Prince Cantacuzen, the Russian
minister. his government has detailed
Capt. Mertvago as naval and military
attache of the legation in Washington,
and he Is expected to arrive here with
his family in a few days. Capt. Merit
vago is naval captain of the first rank.
He was detailed, it is said, for the rea-
son that the naval interests of this
country are paramount to those of
the army, at least SO far as con-
struction and improvement go. The
Russian government desired to be rep
resented here by naval expert, but
one who would at the same time be COM
petent to observe and report the prog
ress of military achievement. The
Russian legation in Washington has not
had military attache for years, and
this indication Of the appreciation of
the growing importance of the WASH
ington station by the government of the
czar, it is confidently expected, will
soon be followed by the promotion of
Prince CantacuZen to be an ambassador.

"CHILD MURDER"
Rev. G.. S. Morrill, Preached a
BaDtismal Sermon.

BaDtiSnai sermon.
At the Calvary Baptist church yester
day morning q. l.. Morrill, preached
upon the subject 1.-The Conversion Of
Children" after which he baptized a
number of Sunday school scholars. Fol-
lowing is the outline of his sermon. He
said:
God created the human race and set
the solitary no families. thereby by max
ing home the institute of the affections.
"Children are the heritage of the
Lord, yet no family should be larger
than the mother can physically afford to
bear, and the father materially and NOR
ally maintain. Married people who
thank the Lord they have no 'brats' to
bother them either lie, or are unfOrt-
innate, OF are immoral. In human nat
ure there is nothing higher than faith
erhood and motherhood. Infanticide
and preventicide are the national sins
of America.
"Cornelia's Jewels were not in rings,
but in hers sons CaiuS and TiberiuS.
Child life, in Its relation to self, God and
man, has priceless possibilities. As the
smallest planets are nearest the sun. so
the smallest children are nearest God.
1.-The Gospel is rich in its reference to
children. ClflSG singled In6m out IOT
His love, and does now, for half the race
dies under five years. Children are old
enough to confess Christ when they
know the difference between right and
wrong. The best workers in the church
today are those who united with the
church in early years.
parents are responsible for the pres
ent well-being and future destiny of
their children. TO confess by lip and
life to our children that there is nothing
higher than business and society is to
be a stumbling block and to merit
ChriSt's censure that it were better for
us to have milestone hanged about our
necks and we be cast into the sea.
Thus our duty and privilege to make
our homes part of the far-away land
of the soul. where Gin loves unclouded
reign parted bands shall meet again."

CURLED WALNUT.
A Monster Knob of the Costly
Veneering Wood Found.

A Monster Knob of the Costly
Veneering Wood Found.
Trenton (Mo) Tribune
Grundy county once more comes to
the front with something that no othe
county has ever produced like it. This
time it is huge knot or knurl, as it is
termed by the lumbermen.
The knot was discovered on the farm
of Capt. Tate. about five miles south
west of this city, by A. Warmoth. of St.
Joseph, an exporter of walnut lumber.
Mr.. WarmOth purchased thrty-three
trees of Mr.. Tate, and had cut them all
but an isolated one. and came near leav-
ing it, as il was a small one, but his de-
cision to cut 1t proved a lucky thought,
as it will mean nearly $1,000 in his
pocket.
When he and his workmen went to
the tree to cut it he noticed that near
the ground it began to enlarge. Upon
close examination he found that this
enlargement was the beginning of a
knot which is highly priced by manu-
facturers of fine furniture and musical
instruments.
1t took five men all day to dig around
1t and cut the roots off Immediately
under it. The knot measured eighteen
feet i'll circumference, and was six feet
from top to bottom, and as curly as can
be. Mr.. Warmoth hauled the lucky
find to Hickory creek yesterday, and
the latter part of the mouth will ship it

from Berlin that President Cleveland
had instructed Minister White to with
hold the exchanged statement which
was promptly denied in the state de-

1t was learned today that the delay in

Last night letter was received from
Mr. Warmoth's commission men at
Hamburg, which stated that it would
bring not less than ii cents per pound
on the market, and probable more. The
knot weighed $500 pounds. At the min
lmum price it will bring $3.50.
This is the largest knot that has ever
been found, and will command high
price.
These knots are sawed into boards
one-siXteenth of an inch in thickness
and used as veneering, and are valuable
for the curly grain Of the wood. As this
was found in 1892, Mr.. Warmoth calls
1t the Columbian "knurl." and it will
probably be exhibited in Chicago before
sending it to Germany.

she passed through space where it

of the splinters headed in her direction.
OF course, when she attempted to
back out her exit was effectually
stopped, the splinters having sprung
back. And there she was as securely

she had been there five days. Mr..

her before she could be taken out, moth
