skirts and Feminine Activity.

Curiously, just as the dress reformers
are attempting to show the tyranny Of
thoskirt came Loie Fuller and the skirt
dancers, and now the Frantz family.
The theory Of the reformers is that the
skirt. by lettering the movements Of
women, has ever prevented the accom-
plishment Of great things. The skirt
dancers. under yards Of extra stuff. are
friskier than ever and point their toes
at the very stars. The Frantz family
wear demure black satin gowns to the
feet, AZ primly cut as q Quaker Wild
Ow's.
When lady can turn 30 somersaults
without stopping and come up smiling
without turning a hair, or run up and
down two superimposed men as cat
runs up and down q tree, it seems that
no lack of achievement On woman's part
can be properly ascribed to her dress
It is interesting to notice how essentially
feminine are the soft, feline, graceful
movements as well as the dress Of these
entertaining women.-New York Even

JEAGCUSYS VICTIMS.
One Man Self-Dcsroyed and Another Des-
 peratefy Wounded.

CHICAGO. Oct. 2.-Yesterday after noon William Smidtha, while in fit of jealousy, shot Henry Miller in the right thigh and then went into his room and cut his throat from ear to ear. causing almost instant death. Both of the young men have been been paying attention to Mary Polst, a German girl, aged 23. When Smidtha vent home Saturday he saw the object of his adoration in the company of Henry Miller. Early yesterday morn lnp the two men met in the street in front of the boarding house, and a heated argument took place, which terminated in a fight. Smidtha was badly .worsted in the encounter, and retired to repair damages and nurse plans of vengeance.
 Smidtha again met Miller, and with cut word of warning drew revolver and shot him. The infuriated man then jumped upon and struck him un- Til he fell over unconscious. Smidtha was evidently under the impression he had killed his rival and went into his own room before anyone could reach him and cut his throat. severing the iugular vein, death following almost immediately. Miller is in n pre- curious condition.

 but too i'll to be removed. A man named Blume claimed to have paid money to Johns, which Johns failed to turn in to the collector. Johns claimed Blume's receipts were forgeries. Blume was convicted of the forgeries, thus freeing Johns. Blume, however, se- cured new trial.

T..- SUPREME COURT
Will Meet Next Tuesday with a LiEht- ened Ducket, Demonstrating the Utility of the New Court of Appeals

 Win Meet Next Tuesday with a Light.
 ened Docket, Demonstrating the Utility
 of the New Court of Appeals
 WASHINGTON, Oct. 2.-The October term of the supreme court of the United States will begin week from to-day, the 9th inst. The court will open the term with docket that in itself dem- onstrates the advantages of the new court of appeals. While the docket for the October term, in 1892, at the opening contained 1,sl3 cases, there are but 1.021 awaiting the courts atten- tion at this time. If this rate of pro- gression is maintained the court will be confronted with nothing but cur rent cases seven years hence. The new cases docketed for this term in- clude a number of interest to the coun- try. Prominent among them are the appeals by An Sing and four other Chinese from the judgment of the United States court for the northern district of California; which will bring up for review the Geary Chinese law.
 The Mormon case is another of inn portance. Upon the decision will de- pend the disposition of the funds aris- ing from the sale of church property under the Edmunds-Tucker act
 Three railroad cases will attract gen. eral attention, one of them is the ap- peal of Lemon. one of the Lake Shore engineers who refused to haul bis train because it contained some cars from the Ann Arbor railroad upon which a strike was in progress. The other two are similar in nature and present the question how far the states may go in the matter of assessing railroad prop erty and finding freight rates Besides these the court will have eleven mur- der cases from Fort Smith, Ark, to de- termine, and the mineral land case of Borden vs. the Northern Pacific rail- road from Montana affecting large portion of the land grant.
 The confirmation of the nomination of w. H. Hornblower. of New York, to be an associate justice of the court, vice Samuel Blatchford, deceased, has not yet been announced, and the prob- abilities seem to be that the court will be short one member when it meets, unless confirmation is made in the meantime.
 Justices Field, Brown, Brewer and Jackson are already in the city and the remainder of the court will reach Washington this week. The court will meet at noon on the 9th inst. and after the induction into office of Judge Hornblower, if he shall have been confirmed, and the admission of at torneys, will adjourn to pay their re- spects to President Cleveland. The next day the call of the docket begins.

THE YELLOW FEVER.
Many New Cases and No Encouragement at Brunswick, .Ga.-The Only Hope is Frost.

Frost.
 BRUNSWICK, Ga, Oct. 2.-Twelve new cases of yellow fever were re- ported yesterday. Sixty-five patients are now under treatment.
 Surgeon Murray returned yesterday morning at 10 o'clock from Jesup, and ren, the deputy sheriff who died there Saturday, proved by the inquest that he had yellow fever It is stated that Warren had not been in any infected district within the past few weeks, and if this be true the theory that it requires only ten days incubation for the fever to develop will be proved un- reliabl The idea that negroes are by nature exempt from the disease is also dissipated. The negroes to date have been the greatest sufferers, and so many fatal cases have developed among them that scientists are investi- eating.
 No cheering words can be truthfully written on the subject. The scourge is sure to stay until frost. Four-fifths of the 5000 people here will have the fever before frost comes. This is no idle statement, but the result of care ful consultation with the physicians on the ground.
 Surgeon Murray is working day and night. Saturday afternoon he visited Miss Orilla Dart, on St. Simon's island, aad found her much improved. He re- turned at midnight, and left on spe- cial train yesterday morning at 10 o'clock for Jesup, held an autopsy there, and returned to Brunswick at II o'clock

Further Particulars.

MOBILE, Ala, Oct. 3.-The storm reached it's height 12 midnight, when the wind reach velocity of seventy five miles an hour From that hour the fury of the gale began to decrease and the wind gradually changed from southeast to west. The rain had fallen in torrents the entire day. Tonight the city is in darkness, and there is no electric light of any kind burning.
 The bay steamer Crescent City dragged her anchor seven miles and went ashore on the beach between Arlington and Monroe park, about three miles below this city. Capt Frank Lumsden and his solitary passenger, a coal broker named Lewis Donnell, put on life-preservers and swan safely ashore through the angry waves.
 Nearly every bath house along the western shore is blown down, and at Fort Morgan an attendant named Gra- ham was swept away with five bath houses and drowned.
 The Magnolia and Cooley's ware houses were blown down, and two un- known negroes were drowned in the cotton yard. Magnificent oaks all over the city are blown down. Houses all over the city have been unroofed and fences blown down.
 Nothing has been heard from the eastern shore nor the market garden CTS in the mars hes, where it is expected great damage to property and proba- bly loss of life has occurred
 The storm at this writing q a. m.) has abated, and the waters have re ceded. There is not a wire in the Western Union office affording inter- course with the outside world, and this is written to be sent several miles out of town, where ii is hoped communica- tion may be established.

MOBILE SUBMERGED

By Pent-Up Waters fr m the River and
 Bay Driven in shore Inv a Great Gale-Aii
 the Wholesale and Much Of the Retail
 District Four Feet U.der Water, While
 the Terrific Wind Spreads Destruction.
 MOBILE, Ala, Oct 2.-A southeast gale broke here this morning about o'clock, and the wind has Sbeen in- creasing in velocity ever since until at this hour q p. m.) it is blowing at the rate of at least fifty miles an hour. The barometer is still falling. The wind has blown the water in front of the gulf until the river has reached Royal street, which is four blocks from the river and on an elevation of about ff- teen feet from the mean river height.
 There is no possible chance of esti- mating the money damage. All the wholesale and great portion of the retail district of the city is some four feet under water, and thousands of dol lars worth of goods damaged.
 The pilot boat Ida Low has been driven on the wharf at the foot of St. Francis street
 The bay boat Heroine was driven on the Mobile X Ohio wharf and almost totally wrecked. The Crescent City, another bay boat, left Point Clear at the same time the Heroine did this morning and has not since been heard from.
 It is reported that three dredges working in the channel have been lost It is also reported here that some fifty miles of the Louisville x Nashville ,l- Ia iS ,rn1ar a. ter. and that the Biloxi bridge has been swept away.
 Nothing has been heard from the gardeners in the marshes east of the city, and the worst is feared. Tele- graphic communication is cut off in almost every direction and from the present outlook Mobile will be entirely cut off from the outside world when dark comes.
 In this city, houses have been un- roofed, trees blown down and one cot ton warehouse has succumbed to the fury of the gale. All of the smoke stacks of the manufacturing indus tries have been blown down. Street car traffic has been totally suspended because of the damage to the electric wires, and the city will no doubt be in darkness tonight as the waves are fast encroaching on the electric light works, which may be under water in another hour.
 The busiest thoroughfares of the city are being navigated in boats, and people are wading up to their arm pits in an effort to save goods. It is re- garded by all as the worst storm that has ever visited Mobile.
 The southern part of the city pre- sents such scene of wreckage that it looks as if it had been bomb barded. The towers on the courthouse and Christian church are tottering.
 Dredge No. 5 turned over near the lighthouse and three men were thrown into the angry waves. At great peril the crew of the tug Capt. Sam steamed to the rescue, and saved two of the men, the other being lost. An un- known white man lost his footing while wading from the Union depot at the foot of Government street, and was swept under the bridge and drowned.

Eunnine with a Human, Trolley.

The novel sight of man taking the
place of the trolley on an electric car
was seen last night ON the Lake Roland
elevated railway. Tho trolley. on one Of
the large electric cars in crossing Lex
ington street at North street had it's
trolley wheel caught in the wire, and tho
entire trolley apparatus was torn off,
falling to the street. The accident hap
pened at time when travel over the
road was heavy, and it was necessary to
prevent d blockade.
Linernan William Scott was equal to
the occasion. He procured piece of in
sulated wire, and after stripping each
end of the insulating material connected
ono end through the car ROOT, ,and standing
on the top Of the car held the other end
against the trolley wire. A connection
being thus made the car was ruin over
the elevated structure to the car barn nt
Walbrook without accident to Mr.. Scott
OF delay to the other cars. Mr.. Scott's
position was novel one and startled
persons who are unused to electricity as
he stood on the top of the car amid myr-
lads of sparks and illuminated by light
ninglike flashes from the trolley wire

The Derby as a zone Horse" Race.


For a fortnight or more before the
Derby everybody who talked or read
about tho subject must have become
wearied Of the expression that it would
be "ono horse race" 1t may be well,
however, to realize the fact that the Der
by appears to be becoming one horse in
stitution. for at the start for the last
eight Derbies odds have been laid on. the
fayorite with the sipgleexception of last
year, when the merest shadow of odds
III to 10y was laid against La Fleche.
Before the race of Wednesday 10 seemed
reasonable to inquire whether backing
these SO called certainties for the seven
previous Derbies had proved profitable.
The reply was that if the sum had been
invested on the favorite in every instance
the gains would have about counterbal-
anced the losses, SO that the hacker
would have had his fun for nothing, ;"
although he would only have earned that
unsatisfying reward for his arduous Ia
bors. On the other hand, ii he had put
the same sum on each of the favorites
for the seven Derbies Immediately pre-
ceding the one horse Derby period he
would have been a considerable loser.
So after all there is something to be said
in favor Of the one horse race.-London

THE American public, OF perhaps more
properly speaking the Chicago public.
is uncommonly stiff-necked and con.
trary. One would think. after the great
hue and cry that went up for Sunday
opening of the worlds fair, that jackson
Park would literally swarm with people
after the boon was granted. But in
stead of that the directors have found
the attendance go slim as to make it ex-
pedient to rescind the order for open
gates Sundays. Itbeing extensively ad-
vertised that yesterday would posi-
lively be the last open Sunday.
and that the entire proceeds of
the admissions would be devoted
to the relief of the families Of the fire.
men who lost their lives in the fire at
the fair grounds last Monday, it was
reasonable to suppose that a mighty
throng would pass through the gates.
But strange to say the attendance was
smaller than ever. This not only proves
that Sunday opening, after having been
given fair trial, is found to be failure,
but reflects on the liberality of the
masses of Chicago, who have always
been represented as ever ready to res
pond to the demands of sweet charity.

Our esteemed contemporary, the San
Francisco Chronicle, undertakes to be-
little the standing and weight of Vice
President Stevenson, in recent issue.
Nothing could be more absurd than this.
There is not Republican editor or pol
itician in the United States who does not
concede, in his personal conversations,
that Stevenson embodies a political
proposition of tremendous force. The
vote which the Democratic party re-
ceived in Stevenson's state and in ad-
joining states shows his strength con-
clusively. The attempt OF the Chronicle
to create anything like ill-will between
the president and vice. president is one
of those puerile efforts that provoke a
smile amongst the discerning. As agen-
ersl thing, OF late years, the two highest
officials of the government have at best
only been civil and strange, but it is a
we'll known circumstance that Jackson,
away back in the tbirties, pushed Van
Buren, to the front, while Buchanan's q
open championship OF John G. Breckin-
ridge for the presidency was the subject
of universal remark thirty-three years
ago.

Speed ON tho Great Lakes.


The first of the new passenger carry
ing whalebacks for the lakes has made a
speed Of 23 miles an hour In o trial trip
on Lake Michigan from Milwaukee to
Chicago. This is very high rate Of
speed, and the Christopher Columbus
deserves to be called the greyhound of
the lakes for time at least. It is far
above any rate yet attained by any
steamship on them. It would be regard
ed as high rate for the swiftest of the
ocean liners on the Atlantic. The con-
structors of this whaleback promise that
while traversing the lakes she will make
1000 miles within 80 hours, in which
case the Cramps Of Philadelphia will
have to look out for their laurels as they
hurry up the building of the new At
lantic steamships for tho American line.
Tho Campania has good record, but
she cannot afford to lower it in the face
Of the Christopher Columbus.
A short time ago we gave an account
of some of the whalebacks and other
steamers that have been launched or are
on the stocks at the lake ports. They
are not far from the first class in mate
rial, mechanism and fitting up. We are
proud of them. They are needed for the
immense commerce and for the travel
between the cities of the five great lakes
which were spoken of in old times as
western lakes, but which are in the east
ern half of the territory of the United
States. They constitute the lake system

Tho cadmus of the Cherokees.

George Guess, to whom a monument
is soon to be erected in Indian Territory,
was the Cadmus of the Cherokees, SO to
speak, for he invented an alphabet for
their use, and in that way distinguished
them above other American Indians.
Guess was half breed, the son of a
Cherokee mother and an English father,
and was so years old when in 1920 he
devised this famous alphabet, He lived
to regret the invention, for he was an
unbeliever, and the only work of conse-
quence printed in Cherokee with thenew
alphabet was the Bible.-San Francisco

WITHOUT abusing anybody in psrticu.

WITHOUT abusing anybody in particu.
lar. or going to any malevolent spasms,
it would be very interesting thing to
know where the large sums of money go
to that are undoubtedly spent at the
reform school at Whittier. There is no
possibility of evading the fact that the
youths who occupy that institution
could be supported for less than one-half
of the money which the state and
county between them furnish for their
maintenance. There is no use of trying
to attribute these remarks to partizan
malignity. because the personal rela-
tions of the proprietors of the HERALD
with DR.. Walter Lindley have always
been exceedingly pleasant, and our only
anxiety is for the taxpayer. We have,
besides we are obliged to confess,
slight curiosity to know who is getting
rich hand over fst with the usufruct of
this novel institution. As. we under
stand, there are three or four hundred
inmates of the school, and if they are
being attended to at a profit of three or
four thousand dollars month somebody
is getting rich at lively rate. AS Dis.
trict Attorney Dillon has called the ct
tention of the board of supervisors to
the waste that is going on at that unique
institution, we ought to have thorough
