WOMAN'S WORLD.
A POINTED LESSON FOR EACH MEM
BER OF THE HOME CIRCLE.

Changes In Washington Society = Skirt

quette-something New In Entertaining.
The story given to the world by Miss
Force of Atlanta, as explanatory of her
motives in killing her two sisters, is an
extraordinary composition to spread be-
fore the public. The explanation that
she was gradually worked up to the
point of desperation necessary to the
commission of her awful crime by Sc
ties of petty aggravations in the homo
fircle is entirely reasonable. It does not
seem to be the production Of an insane
person, and yet her grievances must have
clearly unbalanced her mind.
1t would appear. assuming the wom-
ans story to be true, that during all her
life she was the unloved but useful
member of the family; that mother,
brothers and sisters systematically prac-
ticed AL the arts that malicious natures
could devise to hurt and humiliate her.
The fact that she was plain in appear
hnce was heartless jest among them
pnd inflicted upon her keener pain
than they perhaps imagined. She seems
10 have been the willing slave of the
household, performing menial Offices
such as her sisters disdained, and this,
too, was used as an evidence that she
was poor spirited drudge whom it was
entirely safe to treat with contempt.
The story is one of little things-the
hardest kind to bear It carries evi-
dence of truthfulness on its face. 1t may
pot be true, although there is nothing
improbable about it.
And yet the people who were so cruel
70 her were respected and esteemed in
she community where they lived They
were active In church matters and pop
nlar In their own circle in society. They
kept their meannesses for home use, and
20 the world they were unexceptionable.
This is the worst form of hypocritical
rowardice, and yeb it is common. If a
man is disposed to be cruel and unjust,
be inficts his evil disposition on the
helpless members of his own family
He does not dare display his true nature
10 the world, where it would meet with
the punishment it deserves.
There is a lesson here for those who
feel that they can afford to be rude and
hngracious in the home circle. but must
be suave and polite and engaging abroad.
Home Is the place where the better side
Of ones character should have fullest
play. If 1t be desirable to show the
pther side, let it be out in the world

tiser.

cry muscle Of the body is brought into
active play, and superfuous flesh is kept
down. Several well known New York
actresses, whose duties never call for any
sort Of dancing, arc adopts in the skirt
steps, having learned them for this very
purpose--to counteract a tendency to
stoutness. Women of all ages, from 16
to 30, are found in my classes, and the
elder women are, many of them, as light
and graceful as their younger classmates.
All fancy they have talent for the work,
and many give evidence Of having prac-
ticed at home before taking lessons.
''There are number of small wom-
ems clubs and coteries of intimates
whose existence is not suspected outside
the initiated, at whose gatherings the
skirt dance is done with varying prof.
cheney by different members. Two that
meet in lovely rooms on the top floor of
Murray hill homes count some Of my pu-
pills among their members, and they are
delightful dancers. The devotion to skirt
dancing has grown much this season over
last, and the caprice shows no sign of
abatement. New York Times.
Women May Push Chairs.
A good venture for the strong armed
daughters Of the plow, I" or the more ath-
letic, more enduring young girl in many
cities, is suggested by the rolling chair"
enterprise at Chicago, for which 300 col
lege boys are already booked. The COM
pany expects to have on the grounds by
the 1st day Of May $500 chairs and 1,e0O
uniformed attendants. Tho presidents
of many western colleges are arranging
matters so that their students may be
able to leave before the close of the aca-
demic year and remain throughout the
entire six months. The college student
who is willing to do this has that in him
which win enable him to take advantage
of this opportunity for study and obser-
walton.
There is no reason why ablebodied
young women should not have their
chances to push along the light rattan
rolling chair, which has been selected as
the suitable pattern for quick and easy
conveyance There are so acres in one
building alone, which gives an idea Of
sthe enormous spaces to be traversed.
The chair attendants will see all Of the
exhibition of course, but the places near
Chicago will undoubtedly furnish most
of the service. as few young men or wom-
en- can afford tt, pay their car fare and
board bills early enough to secure place.
Trained nurses, however, SO frequently
push their invalid charges in rolling
chairs along the city streets or the sea-
shore sands that this Chicago business
ought to be open to young women as it
is to men.--Chicago Letter.

death Of Mrs. William G. Whitney. She
was beautiful woman--beautifnl of per-

and the will to do good, and so her life
was full Of sweet and gracious deeds.
Her mind was alert and vigorous; she
was scholarly and accomplished. Her
amiability, her intelligence and her vi

she moved. Universally admired and be-

woman has gone from us forever amid

THE HERRING SEA QUESTION.

1t is expected that the much mooted
Behring sea question will be settled be-
fore the close of tho year. The trlbu-
nal of arbitrators will begin active work
in Paris on the 23rd Of this month, and
it is believed that a decision will be
reached before July.
The dispute, briefly stated, is whether
our government has exclusive jurisdic-
ton over the seal fisheries Of the Behr.
ing sea, which means that seals which
herd at certain seasons on the Alaskan
islands belong to us wherever found and
come within our protection in the Behr-
ing. 1t is claimed in support of this
view that the purchase OF Alaska from
Russia carried these rights. The Brit
ish government never raised the ques-
tlon Of Russ;a's right Of jurisdiction
over waters of the Behring sea before
the transfer of ownership.
On the other hand, our British
friends say that our claim that the
Behring is a closed sea cannot hold SO
long as it is not bounded by our terri
tory. They insist that the question is
by no mean settled because it has
never been raised. The decision viii
also fix the amount OF damages. If ia.
vorable to us we will be reimbursed for
the slaughter Of seals by the Canadian
hunters. If it is the other way our gov.
eminent will not only have to pay dam.

for alleged poaching, but also for losses

AS II APPEARS IN SALT LAKE.

Our esteemed contemporaries. tho
Tribune and Herald OF Salt Lake, so SOL
dom agree on questions Of the day that
is with some satisfaction to find a mu-
tual deplorement over the failure OF tho
Montana legislature to elect Il senator.
Tho Tribune is quite sure with the rest
Of lis that u Legislature has not ac-
Quilted itself with a great deal Of glory
this year., but it strikes Il keynote when
it says:
At this writing it is not known what APP
pointment Governor Richards will make.
There are many candidates, but II the gov
ernor of Montana is also under pledges, the
probability 10 that he will appoint Mr.. Man
tie, because Mr.. Mantle is Mr.. Days can
didate among republicans, and if the DAILY
men held out to tho end and there was any
understanding reached beforehand. it was
that the governor should appoint Mr.. Man
tie. We trust there is nothing to it, and
thst the governor will appoint the best
man.
OF course. 1t was right in the air and
was visible TO republican eyes as for
away as Salt Lake. The Herald also
draws very sensible conclusions. 1t
says:
The blanc appears to fall upon tbs minor
ity of the democrats in the assembly. The
majority held out for the caucus nominee
and appeared to be justified by party rules.
AZ to the wisdom of the choice we cannot
decide, nor is it the province of a Utah
journal to do SO il the case of a Montana
contest. However, there must have been
come potent reason why the recalcitrant
democrats wero SO persistent in their oppo-
sition to the caucus candidate. If that
was only the reflection OF the personal ani-
mus of one man who controlled their votes,
it is altogether wrong nc matter what may
have been his motives. And it forms still
another argument in favor Of election BY
the people. The sooner steps are taken to-
ward that change in the manner Of choos-
ing a United States senator the better it
will DO for the country.
SO far as we have learned it was q case
of personal animus' and nothing else.
II we are wrong will the Anaconda
Standard correct us?
