published in The Times, was mildly an
tagonistic. Mr.. Bradshaw comedies that
women have equal rights with men.
''She has the right to herself, to her
property, TO her fullest self realization
in every way" But he thinks that the
function of the suffrage, of lawmal1-
ing and law enforcing is one which
does not belong to women. And he is
fearful of the consequences to women
and to society should women be enfran-
chised- Particularly is he fearful of the
ssbad women that class which has
never expressed the slightest desire for
the ballot. The Times, while editorially
indorsing the sermon, gave space to sew
eral criticisms against it. The Demo
crat, owned and edited by a bright wom-
an, pointed out its fallacies, and an able
and exhaustive reply by Judge N. W.
Cheever was published in both papers.
The Educational club, E. Cora De Puy
president, passed resolution of thanks
to Judge Cheever. Altogether there was
a heavy aftermath to the suffrage con-
vention at Ann Arbor, and the straws
mostly pointed in the right direction.

WOMAN'S WORLD.
PARIS AGITATED OVER A COSTUME
FOR BICYCLING WOMEN


Mrs. Cleveland et the rheater-An Inter-
esting Foreigner-women as Swimmers
Are Self Supporting Women In Danger?
A Healthy Discussion
Bicycling has become such a favorite
means of locomotion and popular exer-
else with women in Paris that the sub
ject of costume, appropriate in all its
details for this charming occupation,
has reached the magnitude of a discus
sion The old battle for riding breaches
is being repeated in the arguments for
and against bicycling trousers. Know
ing, as we all do, the fate of the full,
long skirted riding habit, it is safe to
predict which side viii win.
Women are becoming more and more
interested in athletic sports and are
adapting them to their use and aInuse-
ment as fast as possible; but, as ever
must be the case with women, the ques-
ton naturally resolves itself into prob
lem of dress. A distinctive, rational,
modest and becoming costume that will
display the feminine charms to advan-
tage and at the same time suit itself to
the required purposes of a bicycle is an
article of perfection which the modern
Frenchwoman, even with all her adapt
iveness has not yet invented She has
taken up the sport with all eagerness
and interest, but opinions are divided,
and the important problem remains I'M
solved. Meanwhile the costumes vary
with the individual preferences and
prejudices of the riders. Those who insist
on wearing trousers have to endure the
discomfort OF being stared at as freak
as they pass, while those who wear
skirts have to contend with the wind as
it catches them and bulges them out in
a very immodest manner, so each has
its own disadvantage
The most acceptable trousers suit has
thiclxly plated zouaye knickerbockers
put in at the waist like a kilt skirt and
falling below the knees in heavy folds
A short zouave jacket and full shirt are
worn with them. This gives perfect free
dom to the body, cannot be inflated by
the wind and does not reveal the out
lines of the figure as much as an Ordi-
nary riding habit. Other members of
the cycling society cling to the feminine
skirt, cut quite short. The most grace
full dress Of all combines the two by sub
stituting for the zouave jacket and shirt
a Russian blouse belted at the waist
and giving the appearance of an over
skirt reaching half way to the knee
One of the important factors-to the
Frenchwoman-amon the attractions
OF cycling was the pCSS1D1l1by OF a new
and fetching gown, but the difficulties
do not seem to be as easy to surmount
as she anticipated, and before the Dues
ton is settled she had better consider
the fact that mems clothes are very I'M
becoming to women The idea that
women ride astride of anything ON a BIZ
cycle is absurd, as it is not possible.
She mounts by placing her right foot ON
its pedal, and as soon as the machine
starts the other pedal comes up to meet
the left foot, and the rider is seated as
modestly as if she were in her own draw
ing room--New York Sun.

Are Self Supporting Women In Danger?
The tragic death of Miss Martha J.
Fuller in her employers Office in New
York is case that deeply concerns the
great army OF young women who work
Saturday afternoon, and having finished
her duties for the week Miss Fuller was
preparing to leave for home. A few mo-
ments later shot was heard, and now
the question arises as to whether her
death is the result of suicide or murder.
But whatever later developments may
substantiate or disprove the fate of this
young stenographer touches working
women very nearly. Thousands OF girls
earn their ivings today as typewriters,
cashiers, etc, in huge Office buildings
located in the business centers of all the
big cities. Up many flights OF stairs,
often in small inner rooms, difficult of
access, their labors c0nfine them from 8
O'Clock in the morning till nightfall.
These arrangements are safe enough
when the full office force is at hand, but
think of the perils of such a position at
other times. Not to speak of the thieves,
tramps and loafers that fairly infest
such places, a girl is really at the mercy
of any one who plans to take advantage
of her helpleSsness- 1t is remarkable that
cases similar to Miss Fullef's are heard
of SO seldom, but should think it might
make women look carefully to their
safeguards or try as far as possible to in
sure proper protection. Wo-

Swimming has become fashionable
amusement for San Francisco women,
and they are proving themselves to be
quite as expert as their brothers in mas
tering the mysteries of this accomplish
ment. Two mornings each week are set
apart at the Olympic club for their espe-
cial benefit, and the swimming tank is
alive with blue jersey suits and caps to
match. They are first put through a ru
dimentary course of instruction, and as
soon as they gain confidence they be-
come reckless and take the high dive
and back somersault with utter disre-
gard of consequences and to the dis1nay
of the instructor. Their ignorance of
how to manage themselves after they
strike the water does not deter them
from making heroic leaps from the gal
lery, a distance of 20 feet. While one
woman is being rescued from a watery
grave another fearless one plunges into
the water and founders there until
some one comes to her assistance The
delights of diving have captivated their
fancy, and they must dive at any cost.
Those who have been practicing for
year have acquired thorough knowl-
edge of both the practical and theoret-
zeal side of the art and are accomplished
swimmers, taking the cutaway dive, the
arrow dive and back omersaults with
grace and ease They leave their dignity
at home and enter into the sport with
all the zest that men do, ride on each
others shoulders and execute all sorts.

election riot which culthinated in the
death of Robert Ross was inspired, not

The eloquent reputation of this insln-

case of the state against "Bat" Shea, de
serves to be committed to memory.
After announcing that the state ex-
pected to show that Shea and others
like him had been offered $25 apiece If
they could get up disturbance with
the Ross boys and shoot them down In
cold blood, Mr.. Pagan said;
The great agonizing cry that went up
from our city on March came not fro m
Robert Ross nor his grieving family, but
from society. The bullet that killed Ross
struck at the vltals Of American institu-
tions. 1t struck at the state itself. A

The Bed Rock Principle,

NV OSN ''SNN ' '''S'S'~s
Information from Albany is to the
effect that members of the committees
on charities and education of the New
York State Constitutional convention
have decided that they will not report
favorably on the proposition to with.
draw state aid for sectarian schools.
They favored the idea at first, but
changed their minds after inspection
and comparison of sectarian and of
state institutions. The former were
far the better Of the two. A public
meeting has been called for Wednes-
day evening at which such distin-
guished men as George Bliss and Fred
erick r. Coudert will speak in behalf
of sectariau institutions now receiving
state money.
This subject is obviously of such
great Importance that the proceedings
of this mass meeting, as we'll as the
later decision of the constitu-
tionsl convention, will attract wide
spread interest The danger in sec.
tartan education receiving state aid
lies in the fact that, from whatever
standpoint one views it. it presents the
same evident departure from the prin-
ciple Of a complete divorcement Of
church and stats. That principle is
vital one in Republican government.
Liberty of conscience is not threatened
by that divorcementi liberty Of con.
science might be threatened by its an
nulment.
Sectarian schools in New York are
better than the state schools, it is re.
minder that the latter should be i'm
proved. The trouble today is that state
schools attempt too much. They not
only want to teach the fundamentals OF
an education at public expense, b ut
they want to add on all the frills. No
matter how eminent its sanction, this
is utterly and indefensibly wrong. The
duty Of the state, in supporting educa-
tion, is one only OF self-defense. It is
the duty of individuals to provide the
airy superstrueture of intellectual ac-
complishments now foisted on over
crammed pupils at tax payers cost.
II the New York constitutional con-
vention could make up its mind to 60

lie school question, and there quarry
out the fundamental principle that the
state should pay simply for the plain
teaching of plain elementary factors Of
an education, leaving all the rest to
individual care, it would solve not only
the sectarian problem, but also a vast
number OF other problems connected
with our schools.

THE PERTINENT QUESTION.
WnsLinaion POSI-.


Why did not the bitumiuous operat ors
advance their rates without waiting for
all this violence and bloolshed? We as.
sumo that they could have done so in the
first place, because otherwise they could
not do it now. The riots have resulted in
a dreadful destruction of property and a
general paralysis Of business. The opera
tors are poorer by many hundreds OF
thousands of dollars than they would be II
their commerce had gone on without in
terruption. Yet we find them offering to
increase the wages of the miners notwith-
standing the serious losses they have sus-
tained, and it seems to us that we cannot
be mistaken in assuming that they could
have made the increase just rs well, If not
to better advantage, before the troubles
began.
Why did they not do it?
