The morning call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1878-1895, 1893-07-09

must pass ere the evinced preference OF the
majority settles the question. 1t is not
clear whether the little jacket which goes
with the skirt should be inside the belt or
worn outside. The examples are numerous
both ways. Those who wear it inside have
the advantage of graceful outline. Those
who let it flop or bulge outside have the
charm of novelty, and they excite solicit
tude in observers. who are apprehensive
what may happen should anything give
way. The loose putting about the arms
and shoulders at present In vogue shows
what stowage lady may c0ntrlve IN wear
ing apparel, yet it does not appear possible
to invent pocket for lady. AS conse-
Quence, all carry the purse In the hand.
This may have a subtle meaning to show
that women can make an economical use
of money, or that they stand in need OF it,
or that they can get along with SO little
that they only require the hand to give 1t
safe keeping. Be the reason what 1t may.
the purse is grasped by the hand and often
tho watch is on the wrist. Pockets are
unfeminine.
The popularity Of the Rosalie as ferry
boat is not less apparen: in San Francisco
than in Oakland. Its decks are simply
crowded at the hours when traffic is
urgent. Ordinarily the 5-o'clock steamer

conveniently full of passengers, but not
so now. The Rosale has subtracted few
hundreds, and for most people there is sit
ting room outside on the monopoly ferry.
AS passenger-boat the Rosalie has many
merits. 1t is very graceful and makes
swift passage For many people the run
up the harbor on the Oakland side is more
attractive than landing at the mole and
run to Broadway by train, Oakland
should take possession OF its harbor and
make it as perfect for shipping and ferry
business as poss bic. 1t is positively spurn-
ing advantages to hand over such harbor
to the manipulation OF one railroad COM
pany.
The Cramps are finishing the first three
of the ten great turbine wheels OF 5000
horsepower each which are TO be placed
in position at Niagara Falls for the utili-
cation of fraction of the water-power
there going to waste. When these wheels
are working there ought TO be display oil
some wonders in cheap manufacturing
Great as Is the horsepower at command
by this installation, a couple Of steamers
like the Campana represent more, and
very shortly one steamer may develop as
much power.
The moral effect OF firmness and GER
illustrated at this moment in Vancouver
Island. Kennedy. the outlaw desperate. is
defying arrest for one of a number of muir
ders, and is supporting his objections with
rifle. The Coroner of Nanalmo eDdeav-
ored to persuade him to surrender peace
ably, by assuring him that he was sur
rounded and must be taken. Kennedy did
not dispute the prospect of capture, but he
had a most definite opinion of the conse,
Quences. Il know what your laws are,
he said. "You will hang me if you get
me; but you never will" From which it
may be inferred that il he had been In the
| United States he might have waived the
point and surrendered 10 the Coroner. with
the probability that extenuating circum,
| stances would miracuously be discovered
to save him from the gallows. Apparently
they are little lOath to shoot in Van
| cOuver, but Kennedy Is not. He has no
hope. but he protests against being hanged.
There is con siderable difference between
soft concrete and hard. So laborer has

and was only injured by dropping into

severe test on hot days, and here and there

In a considerable part OF Germany the
| working hours Of workpeople exceed fif-
teen per day. This fact has been ascer-
| tanned by the Imperial Commission on
Labor Statistics. In Northeast Germany,

| Germany, Saxony and eight Thuringian
States III and South Germany 52per cent.
| Considering what poor wages are paid
| this in an awful revelation of industrial
servitude. No wonder there is emigration
to America.
AS the Rosalie has come off the Vallejo
route, Vallejoites are thrown back upon
the considerable care of the Southern
Pacific of Kentucky, which has arranged
the passenger fares at so cents per trip.
They will not be better off until there is
genuine opposition once more. The sue
cess of the Rosalie should make il worth
the while of capitalists to embark in the
transportation business up the bay. There
is enough of traffic to make low rates
profitable. Propeller or paddle steamers
much speedier than any now on the bay
could readily be designed, and were they
available there might be considerable gain
in excursion traffic.
They are still fighting in Paris. The
slums have poured forth their swarms of
can allie, and stones, clubs and revolvers
have come into play freely The facility
with which a barricade is thrown up
in narrow streets with reQuisitiOned
omnibuses and cabs is quite artistic. But
an end will have to come to all this wreck
ing and boodshed. The army is at call,
and the police are probably precipitately
eager for license to club. Napoleon would
have made short work of the mob. 1t was
his talents In that line which gave him his
| first lift in mili arism and pc wer.
