The Kitchen Mechanic Was Unuxed to
That KIDD of a Doctor.
Katie was fresh from Ireland, but, as
she said, she came of the better class of
trades people, and was withal a neat
looking girl, though very, very much
in need of enlightenment in American
ways, especially ways of housekeeping.
She was quite ignorant of the names of
the most common kitchen utensils and
their uses were mysterious and strange
to her. But her mental darkness in
this respect was not to be compared to
her unsophisticated innocence regard
ing social equality, the rights of women
and the progress of her sex.
She had been told that there were
three in the family, besides doctor.

WOMAN'S DRESS.

Plea For Garments Which Permit Free.
dom OF Movement.
There can be no doubt that as long as
women remain the slaves of fashion
they are destined to occupy an inferior
place in the affairs of the world. A
thoroughly healthy mind can live only
in thoroughly healthy body. Women
who wear corsets suffer from contrac-
tion of the thorax and the thousand ills
it brings forth. The trailing skirt
whose weight rests on the hips, inter-
feres with the power of locomotion,
prevents wholesome physical exercise
and poisons the skin with the impuri-
ties it sweeps up on the streets
Woman's evolution or elevation de-
pends upon the adoption of a dress
which permits the lungs to expand and
liberates the body from the thralldom
of inartistic drapery. It's one of the
pleasing signs of the times that the
leaders of the woman movement, how
ever much they may differ on matters
OF less Importance, are unanimous and
enthusiastic in their advocacy of dress
reform
Woman, like man, was made in the
image of God. We have no sympathy
with prudes who insist upon the perpet-
uation of the skirt because it hides the
form. The skirt is a badge of woman's
inferiority, conferred on her at
time when the sex enioyed
neither civil nor social rights. The
Oriental trousers dual skirts.
far more convenient and healthy gar
ment than the heavy drapery worn by
the women of America who look upon
their sisters in the east with pity and
compassion.
Every one who has given some
thought to the social conditions of the
country must admit that the women
will play an important part in it's future
development. They have already be-
come a part of American business and
professional life and are even now con-
ducting an aggressive and popular cam
paign for equal suffrage. In a few
years they will accompany us to the
polls and assist us in selecting law
makers and making our laws.
In view of these facts, it becomes the
duty of men to urge upon their wives,
sisters and daughters the adoption of a
dress which shall permit rational exer-
else without violating the artistic taste.
Not until women are clothed in gar
ments emblematic of freedom can they
hope to compete successfully with men;
nor will they be free from tn, small
prejudices and weaknesses which have
retarded their evolution and madt
them the subject of ill.tempered ridi-
cule.

be underestimated. TO quote from

CHRISTOPHER G.

. p
In the city OF Genoa, over the sea,
In beautiful country called Italy,
There lived sailor called Christopher c.
A very wise man.for his time was he
He studied the books and maps and charts,
All that they knew about foreign parts;
ana ne said to himself: "There certainly
oughter
Be some more land to balance the water.
"As sure as gun, the earth is round:
Some day or other way will be found
To get to the east by sailing west
Why shouldn't find ftas well as the rest?r
The court philosopher shook his head
Laughing at all that Christopher said:
But the queen of Spain said: "Christopher c.
Here ts some money; go and see''
That is just what he wanted to do.
And In fourteen hundred and ninety-two
From the port Of Palos one August day,
This Christopher c. went sailing away.
He sailed and sailed with wind and tide.
But he never supposed that tho sea was so
wide,
And the ,saiiOfs grumbled, and growled, and
cried:
1--WE don't beliexe there's another side.
''Oh take us back to our native shore,
Or we never shall see our wives any more,
tdko US DacR, y christopher c.
Or well tumble you overheard into the sea-
In spite Of their threats he wouldn't do IT.:
There was land ahead and Christopher knew it
They found San Salvador green and low,
And the captain shouted: II told you sol
"Thisis the land King Solomon knew,
Where myrrh and aloes and spices grew:
Where gold and silver and gems are found
Plenty as pebbles all over the ground"
They thought they had sailed clear around the
ball,
But 1t wasn't the other side at all
But an island lying just of shore
Nobody'd ever seen before.
They planted their flag on flowery plain,
To show that the country belonged to Spain;
But II never once entered Christophcrs mind
That North America lay behind
Ihcn Christopher E., he sailed away
And said he would come another day;
But II he had staid here long enough
We would talk Spanish or some such stuff.s

Novel Horseback I,fd,ne.

When riding by night on the pampas
fused to enjoy lying back on the horse
till my head and shoulders rested on
the animals back. My feet were raised
till they pressed against the horses
neck and in this position, made by
practice safe and comfortable, gazed
at the starry sky, seeing nothing OF
earth. but letting my mind absorb the
impression created bv the vast circle of
the heavens glittering with innumer-
able stars. TO enjoy this method of
riding thoroughly the rider must have
perfect confidence in the sure-footed
ness OF his horse and the horse
must have similar confidence
in his rider. The animal must 90
over level, grassy ground and
at swift, harmonious pace. Then the
illusion is that of soaring through
space-an enchantlnent heightened BY
the muffied sound of the hoofs on the
soft sward, which suggests the rushing
of'wings. The Naturalist in La Plata.

Would it be scion les rsgles to go with
out any especial dress, If one has a

Alice Appleton, whose mother was
poor, and who earned her own board
and tuition by giving lessons to the
smaller girls.
Will madame consent?" breathlessly
questioned Louise Hayward.
Madame will consent to anything
that Nell Evans chooses to ask tri-
nmphantly announced Ida Cotton.
Nell was one of inadame's graduates,
you know, and a pattern damsel in all
respects. And if Nell were to request
that we Should all attend the masquer-
ade costuned in pink tinsel, and walk

There was q general laugh at this,
and then commenced the Joyful tasks
of selecting personalities, studying up
the costumes in old engravings and
antique fashion plates, and turning
over the combined stores of the whole
school in sash ribbons, artificial
flowers, jewels and plumes. For al
though the graduating class, which
alone was invited, consisted of only
eight young ladies', the interest con-
corning Miss Evans masquerade party
was disseminated through the whole
school in no measured degree.
And Alice Appleton's gentle heart In
particular beat with innocent anticipa-
tion, for she had sometimes fancied
that Capt. Hugo Evans, the brother of
the pretty hostess, had looked upon her
with tenderer glance than he vouch-
safcds to the other young ladies of his
acquaintance To be sure she had no
party dress. but the individuality sug-
gested by Marian Holley, "a Snow
fake," would be sufficiently inter-
preted by her simple muslin gown
with a few starry white flowers of the
Catalonian jasmine in her hair.

should be necessary. In his view four
months ought to be ample time to dis
pose of the whole matter.
Judge Thomas Simpson. of Winona.
an officer of the road. asked if decree
OF foreclosure could be entered at once.
Judge Caldwell answered ia the affirm
alive.
The attorneys and several officers of
the road. as well as Mr.. Walker, of
New York, took couple of hours to
confer as TO who should be named as
receiver. MIR. Lawrence suggested sew
eral names, and Mr.. Bum suggested
several. MIR. Lawrence claimed that
his clients had the right to name the
receiver, as they represented three
fourthS of the bonds and large amount
or stock. He also asserted that he
wanted a man who will bring suit
against the improvement company to
recover the rolling stock, il deemed
necessary.
MIR. Bum, said that his clients would
insist that no one nominated by the
Green Bay road should be. appointed,
because that is hostile interest.
Several times the men conferred on
new names during the afternoon, and
the lists of nell were taken to the
court, with the statement that no agree
m'nt was reached. Judge Caldwell
went over the list of twenty men and
trust companies, and asked the objec-
lions to ttitn severally. Judge Thomas
Wilson. of Winona, happened to step
into the court room, and he was offered
the receivership i'll joking way, but
declined. Finally the name of Tilden.
IL. Seiines was mentioned as a good
man, and both sides said he would be
satisfactory. Judge Caldwell. without
moments further hesitation, said that
he should be the receiver, and gave in
structioDs for drawing up the order,
which will be signed by him at 10 o'clock
this morning. The bond will be S25, ZOO.
Tilden r. SelmeS is assistant general
counsel of the Northern Pacific Rail-

regarded as very capable man for the
position, and his appoin tment gives ELI

JOSEPH VANCE.
The Final End Of a Long Hines

The Final End OF a Long Illness.
After all illness of some years dura-
ton. resulting from paralysis, Joseph
Vance, residing at 102 Western avenue,
died yesterday at II a. m
Mr.. Vance was born on the 18th of
February, 1880. in Allegheny county,
Pa. When he reached his majority the
California gold fever was at its height
and thither he went by the overland
route, in search of fortune and advent
ure. In few years he returned to the
states and located at Wellsville. O., but
soon removed to Ravenna, in the same
state, where he resided and conducted
mercantile business until he came to
st. Paul. He was married at Ra-
VIENNA in 1858 to Harriet W. Hall
daughter OF l.. W. Hail. and in 1873 re-
moved with his family to St. Paul, where
he has since resided. He was for sew
eral years connected with the business
department of the DAILY GLOBE, and
subsequently was United States deputy
supervisor of steam vessels. A brave
fortitude marked the conscious portion
OF his long illness, and when the end
came it was quiet, painless sinking to
sleep. He never sought prominence in
public affairs, but discharged the duties
of a private citizen which fell to his
lot with the utmost fidelity, anu main-
tanned through life most honorable
career.
His surviving family consists of a
wife, two daughters and a son, his eld-
est daughter being Mrs. Charles w.
Rice. He was brother-in-law of Il.
r. w. Hall, of Minneapolis, and of II.
Z. Hall, of st. Paul.
The funeral will take place from the
family residence, 102 Western avenue.

soil, OF the Park Congregational church,
officiating. While in health he was an
active Mason, and members of the order
will informally attend the funeral.
