Overdonc and Undcrdonc.

It seems difficult. not to say impoSsi- ble, for the present generation to esti- mate at its true rate the value of wom- ans work. If lady writes a novel or q poem. if sine plans q building, studies law or invents an apple pairing machine, either it is ignored altogether or else hullabaloo is raised, making twice as much of it as il really amounts to. The method heretofore has been to ignore women's intellectual powers. It was not till many years after both their deaths that it was generally known Caro- line Herschel did much of the astronom- ical work for which her famous brother got all the credit. In the historic ency- Clopedias. if you wish to find something of the history of a woman who Is distin- guished in any way. the chances are that you will not find her name. The ency- clopedic records are written and occu- pied by men.
 So it has been i'll the past. There is a little danger that now the rebound will go too far the other way and overestimate feminine work just because a woman does it. An exaggerated sentiment of chivalry ilnpels men to this course some times. Again, the newness of the fact that the achievements of women are to be taken seriously at all overimpresses a considerable proportion of mankind. The sooner the period arrives when wo- mems work is judged of exactly on its merits, just as mems work is. with no thought of the sex of the one who wrought it. the better it will be for the progress of womankind.

 With the mercury and valkyrie effects in trimming, wings are in great demand for garniturr. Two, four and even moro are required to produce the flaring val kyrie effect. All kinds of wings are em- ployed, but there is an especial fancy for wings of green, black and snowy white. Genuine parrots wings are to bo seen on some of the most expensive hats.

 Age only gives value to comparatively few books. Hundreds volumes print ed in the seventeenth century are to be had at our secondhand shops at prices ranging from 10 to 25 cents apiece. and the average vellum of $50 years ago is worth 50 per cent less in the market today than is one of Hawthorne's or of Whittier's cunning little first editions printed be tween 1888 and lS42.

obtaining, under false pretenses, S39.o2'
the property OF j. Il. BrOckshaw, from the
Richmond Locomotive works. Mr.. Il. u.

SENATE AND HOUSE.
Sherman on the Bill That Goes by His
Name.

BY telegraph to the Dispatch)
WARRINGTON, ID. G., Aug. 3O.-After
routine morning business. the bill for the
repeal Of the Sherman act was taken up
and Mr. sherman proceeded TO address
the Senate. lie said that If repeal of the
purchasing clause Of the act Of July, 1880,
were the only reason for the extraordi-
nary session. 1t would seem to him in
sufficient. 1T was. however. justified by
the existing financial stringency. on one
thing. he said. Congress and people were
agreed. and that was that both gold and
silver should be continued in use as
money. MonOmetallism pure and simple
had never gained a foothold In the
United States. If the Senators wanted
cheap money and an advance in price, the
free coinage OF silver was the way 10 the
end desired. but they should not call 1t
bimetallism.
When Mr.. Sherman had concluded the
repeating bill was laid aside and the ma
tional bank circulation bill was taken
up 10 allow Mr.. Teller to finish the speech
which he had begun yesterday.
Mr.. Voorhees, gave notice, however. that
after the morning business tomorrow he
would ask the Senate to take up the re-
peal bill, and would do so from day TO
day-subiect, Of course, TO his desire 10
accommodate Senators.
At the conclusion OF Mr.. Teller's speech
the Senate went into executive session.
and when the doors were opened at
O'Clock adjourned.
The session of the House to-day was
devoid Of interest.
Mr.. Talbot asked unanimous consent
TO introduce bill repeating the statute
authorizing the appointment OF ~arshals
and Supervisors of election.
Mr.. Dingley objected.
~. breckenridge. from the comrnitteee
on appropriations. reported the urgent de-
ficiency appropriation bill and IL was pass
ed. The items are SIS, 900 for bank note
paper; 10000 for recoinage of subsidiary
coins and $4,000 for clerks to Represen-
tatives.
The House then resumed consideration
of the new code of rules. with the under
standing that general debate should close
at o'clock. This understanding was dis
regarded and the time extended so as 10
include the entire days session. The pro-
posed code OF rules was debated, both
under the hour rule and the five minute
rule. but the passage at arms yesterday
between Speaker Crisp and ex-Speaker
Reed seemed TO be regarded not only as
the opening of the fight, but as the culmi-
nation OF It: and little attention was paid
TO the speeches made to-day.
without disposing of the rules. the
House at sos adjourned.

INQUIRY ABOUT MEAT.
The Penitentisry Board Examine VIII
nas.es and Adopt a Stntement.

The Board of Directors OF the penlten-
tiary at a meeting yesterday afternoon
adopted the following:
In view OF recent publications concern
ing a quantity OF beef furnishd this in
stitute by Lambert & Bros. the board
met In special session this afternoon and
heard statements from Dr. Oppenheimer,
Mr. W. II. Lambert and Superintendent
Lynn, and Assistant Superintendent
White and Glinn from which the follow
Ing facts appear:
/. That Lambert & Bros. undertook to
furnish the penetentiarry with trough
cuts "of real good beef" and with fore
and hind quarters OF equal quality. This
they contracted to do at s2H per hun
dred weight, expecting to be able TO do so
by disposing OF the choice parts to their
regular city custom at a much higher
price.
2. That In the case In question there Is
no evidence that the cow was diseased;
but Mr.. Lambert admitted that she was
very poor and he contended that in giV-
ing the penitentiary the whole carcass he
was making such an average as his con-
tract required. The penitentary officer
whose duty IL Is to inspect the beer
bought by this institution had no recollec-
ton OF the beef in question; but stated
positively that the contractors had never
sent any unsound beef TO the institution.
g. In order that the institution may
have a record of the inspections OF beer
the board requested Superintendent Lynn
to see that the officer detailed as inspec-
tor hereafter keep book exhibiting the
character and condition of each lot OF
beef delivered at the penitentiary.
