Women in Golf.

The widespread recognition of women in golf is simply one more illustration, and probably the most significant, of the wholesome tendency of the age. It is particularly consequential on the other side, where, although women
 have always gone in for many differ ent kinds of sport, their claims to re- cognition as a factor have been ig- nored by the men. Mankind, indeed,
 in England more especially, has ever been prone to look disparaglngly on the sporting efforts of the gentler sex; not that they failed of appreciation of the great benefits to health and the natu- ral influence on the future generation,
 but out of pure selfishness preferred that their wives and sisters kept away from the fields they regarded as more or less their particular preserves. The stock excuse has always been that wo- men were in the way on the links and in the hunting field; but, so far as my observation goes I have never found them more ''in the way" than seventy five per cent of the men one sees in both fields. Of course not every wo- man rides her line, and only a few men do; nor can women drive a golf ball with the fartherest; but it has always seemed to me that the quality of wo- mans performance averaged higher in proportion to the number of her sex in

NIPYED.

"Ike's," one of the historic institu- tions Of New Haven, and closely con- nected with the University, was pulled last evening with neatness and dis patch. The affair was a shining suc- cess, and gained impressiveness from the fact that it came off while the Police commissioners and Dr. Smyth were holding their first investigation meeting. like" has been playing his game with great secrecy lately, but the police have been too much for him and he and his paraphernalia are now where they will do the most good. After his case has been disposed of we move that his roulette wheel, etc., be donated to the Historical Society. One who has played such an important part in the affairs of New Haven and of Yale should be remembered, or at least have more attention paid to him than he has had.

right sort for tailor lines, but that her rosy, childish face lacked the boyish- ness that makes the shirt front appro- priate on some girls. So, like a wise maiden, she adapted, not adopted. Now she has so many followers that the fashion is admitted and it's combi- nation of effects will make it suit al- most every one.
 While simple of stuff and cut, the gown sketched is far away from any touch of tailor primness. Cut from gray suiting, it's full gored skirt is lined with alpaca and finished inside with 8 black lace frill. The lining of the bod ice hooks in the center and the suiting is draped over it, fastening at the side. It has a deep velvet yoke and collar to match, the ribbon rosettes finish the ribbon straps over the shoulders. The sleeves have long velvet cuffs, but puffs of the suiting. A hat of gray felt with waved brim and profuse garniture of gray ribbon loops and bows goes with the dress.
 Many of the new hats look enough like straw to make one suspect a mis- take in the handbox. The braid of vel vet and wire has proved so pliable and pretty that milliners are unwilling to let it go just because winter is at hand. Crowns are made of velvet and brims of this braid, and the imitation of straw is often almost perfect.

Among the reasons for the almost uninterrupted success of Japan In pros- ecuting the present war with China Is the spirit of sacrifice and generosity exhibited by her people. Voluntary contributions amounting to almost sl5,- 100000 have been received by the gov ernment. The Bank of the Nobility. which has given s1.00O,O0O outright, has also placed $150O0,oO0, interest free, at the disposal of the authorities. The noblemen and wealthy merchants have been most patriotic, and a number of them have contributed more than s100,- 900 each, Victory under such condi- tions is comparatively easy and certain. Public spirit in China, with reference to the unfortunate conflict, presents a melancholy contrast. Unhappily for the Chinese, the same spirit of indiffer- ence-to use no stronger word-seems to pervade a great part of the army and navy. Admiral Ting himself had to report that seven of his ships re- mained concealed during the fight on the Yaloo; that several officers had to be court-martialled for cowardice, and that 1t was deemed essential to behead Captain Fong, who fled before the be- ginning of the battle.

chant and ex-postmaster general that the new tariff Is good thing for bus mess. They would have their readers think that policy of pushing things and of doing the best that can be done under existing circumstances Is equiv alent to an assertion that the circum- stances themselves are all that can be desired. But while they are calling at tention to the enterprise of MT. Wana- maker they are not saying much about what he has written to the Republican committee of Huntingdon county, Penn sylvania. No settled prosperity. says Mir. Wanamaker, can come to this coun- try under free trade, and he says fur ther:
 l regard this election of uncommon importance, because 1t gives the Key note for 1896. The issue Is squarely set, and all workingmen have the question to decide whether labor shall be fully protected In this country or not. NO one ought to be misled by the temporary stir of business that always follows a long waiting for definite action No one can believe that people will pay more for American goods than for foreign goods, and If foreign goods cost less because of low priced labor, either we in America must come down to the same level with foreign labor or give up the trade to the foreigners.
 Already a number of the mills in Philadelphia are getting through and preparing to stop.
 know of my own personal knowledge that there is no such open market abroad for American goods as is claimed by free traders. If there was such a market why do not the foreigners run their mills and works at full time and supply the professed demand? The only answer is, they are already oversup- piled with goods and there is no room for our goods.
 Compulsory reciprocity, born of Blaine and Harrison, which the Democrats have abandoned was thousand times better. The country has steadily lost under Democratic rule, and the worst of 1t is that 1t was entirely unnecessary. l haven't question but what all the old time prosperity, previous to 1892, would have continued without break but for the change in the politics of the government. The next election will be the first step toward the restoration of work and wages.
 "The main issue" isn't lost yet. It is in plain sight right here in this con- gressional district. The Register pro- fesses inability to see it, but the Regis ter's eyesight is poor. It couldn't even see West Rock awhile ago.

THE MAIN ISSUE.

The Register would like to see "the main issue" in this campaign lost, for it knows that unless it is lost Democratic success cannot be found in November 6. So it gleefully talks about "the re- vival of business" and endeavors to convince those who are out of work or are working at reduced wages that they are prosperous and happy. Other Democratic newspapers are trying to play the same game that the Register is trying to play. Some of them have been quoting parts of John Wanamaker's advertisements, setting forth bargains in various kinds of goods. with the design of proving by the great mer.

BENEFITS OF GOOD ROADS,

One would hardly expect the people of Mecklenburg county, North Carolina, to take more interest in good roads than do the people of New Haven county, Connecticut, yet it appears that they do. They are said to De enthusi- astic over the results of their experi- ments in improving the roads of the county. At first the farmers were op- posed to paying the extra road tax, believing that they would derive little or no benefit from it, and would have to pay for the advantages accruing to the towns, but now they are more than willing to bear their share of the ex- pense of the improvements, and are clamorous for extensions, even offering expedite the work. Forty miles of stone road, it is stated, have already been laid in the county, and the work is being rapidly pushed. The labor is performed by convicts. The roadbed is nearly thirty feet wide, but the stone, or metal" as it is called, is placed over only half of the width of the whole bed. The other half is made smooth for Summer road" being, when dry and hard, better for driving over than the stone bed. Some of the benefits de- rived from the improvements were briefly stated by one of the speakers at the recent road congress at Charlotte The social isolation of country life, he said, has been greatly decreased. The farmers keep better horses and better vehicles. Four bales of cotton can be carried to market with the team that was formerly required to haul one bale. "The good roads," he added, "enable the farmers to market a great quantity of fruit and vegetables which formerly went to waste. This has encouraged diversified farming, and the farmers are fully conscious of the advantages of good roads," It is also stated that in Mecklenburg county, as in other places where similar improvements have been made, the selling value of the lands along the new roads has greatly in- creased.
 The people of Connecticut have the reputation of being able to see oppor- tunities to do good and make money, and yet they are sadly indifferent to the benefits and the profits of good roads.

The recoil of the shot when the pistol is first fired sets in motion mechanism which ejects the shell just fired, brings up a new one to the barrel, cocks the pistol and locks the movable parts.
