GAVE UP HUBBY FOR HER BIKE.

Philadelphia husbands have got to
wake up. The Baddest commentary on
their harassing deliberations comes to
us in the news of a divorce suit brought
by a Quaker City citizen against his
wife because she prefers her bicycle to
him. His name Is Mat. and one OF the
exhibits in the case is letter she
wrote to him. In which she said she
preferred her pneumat. to her old one
because the pneu was the younger and
friskler and more cOnsenial OF the two"
The Philadelphia woman Is wildly in
love with her bike. She aays she Is ''in-
fatuated heart. soul, mind and body"
with It, 81 set more comfort and salts
faction from my wheel" she penned,
than could derive by being tied down
to your side" There IL the keynote OF
the whole trouble. Philadelphia hus-
bands are anchored to lentamenteness,
and no woman wants a hawser holding
her fast to a chunk of inertia In these
impulsive. go-ahead times. Benedicts
on the banks OF the Schuylkill want to
get a move on.

A MODEL COMMITTEES.

The object of a combination against
Tammany on local candidates, and es-
pecially on Mayor, Is not so much to
beat the Wigwam as to secure efficient,
Independent and honest government in
the city.
on the Republican Committee to take
part In the accomplishment OF this de-
sirable object are Michael Cusack, John
] Collins, Johnny Simpson, Jake Patter-
son. George b. Deane, Fred Gibbs, who
once ran for Mayor In Tammany's in
terest. and others Of like patriotic sem
timent
Well, fine articles are sometimes turned
out by very dirty-looking machinery.
In admlring the beautiful mechanism OF
a watch. no one stops to think OF the
tools used In its construction. But then,
again, nobody would think OF using
blacksmiths' tools to make watch
with.
Let us hope the Republican Confer
ence Committee will agree upon nom

Mayor. whether he be Republican or
Democrat. With or without COM
bine" none other can defeat Tammany.

HOWGATE ARRAIGNED
The Alleged Embezzler Consents
to Be Taken to Washington.
Visited by His Daughter and an
Aged, Gray-Haired Woman.

companied Him in Flight.

Henry w. Howgate, alias II. Will

day after evading the authorities since

Ludlow Street jail before United States
District Judge Benedict In the Federal

Howgate seemed to have recovered
somewhat from the shock of his arrest.
When arraigned before Commissioner

appeared to have regained his balance

Stockings.

1t pays to buy good stockings.
Fine stage and dress stockings ars
French made.
The Spanish were among the first to
knit fine stockings
White silk stockings go with the
bridal slippers, but nowhere else.
Silk stockings should be cleaned, like
other silk goods, and not washed.
Queen Elizabeth, 1850, was the first wo-
man in England to wear knitted silk
stockings.
Put warm stockings, even though
coarse, upon the child as the chill Of
winter approaches.
Use little OK gall and no alkali In
washing black stockings. Dry them
quickly In the house.
1t was doubtless Of the stocking that
1t was first said: "A stitch in time saves
nine"-it might have said many times
nine.
Do not mend a hole In the stocking BY
drawing 1t together; the strain upon the
surrounding fabric soon makes the rent
worse than at first.
That was an unkind old fashion which
once decreed that the old sister should
dance in green stockings at the wedding
Of her younger sister.

EXPECT OF EXCLUSION.

Tho Evening World" told the Demo-
cratic State Convention In advance OF
Its meeting that an important step in
the direction OF success was the opening
OF Its doors and the admission to the
Convention of all Democratic organlza-
lions formed in opposition to the regu-
lar organization, through a variety Of
causeA
or course, II Is necessary In q political
party to enforce regularity as rule.
Without that, organization would be use
less and boiling on any slight pretense
would be encouraged. But this year
the situation was peculiar. Tho De-
mocracy had been routed in the State
because of tho blunders and misdolngs
OF the regular machine. Public disap
prevail Of the MANAGEMENT OF the party
had been so strong that the leaders
were compelled to retire and the State
Committee was practically broken up
by the retreat OF Its chairman.
1t was felt to be necessary to unite
the party. This could not be more eff
fectually done than by admitting the
boiling organizations to seats In the
Convention, thus removing the reasons,
real or pretended, for the continuance
of their existence.
This was not done. The doors were
shut in the faces OF the Grace delegates
and the Shepard delegates The result
will be that while the followers OF those
factions will doubtless vote the Demo
cratic State ticket, the leaders will re
tain their organizations and seek to de-
feat the Democratic candidates. either
by voting for the Republican machine
and Doodle candidates or by not voting
at ALL
1t IL not likely that the Grace or
Shepard faction will put an Independent
Democratic ticket in nomination to show
their strength. But their treatment at
Saratoga will make them more anxious
for a combination against Tammany in
this city, and hence will add to the
chances OF an overthrow OF the present
local administration and the reform of
the methods exposed by the Lexow
Committee.
1t is an Ill wind that blows nobody
good.

Oranges Her Steady Diet.

In order to be healthy and beautiful,
women should make their habitual bev-
erage of water, into which a lemon Juice
has been mixed. and they should eat
ple1ty OF fruit in all seasons. Oranges
are especially recommended, this fruit
possessing, 1t appears. extraordinary
virtue. The Marquise de Crequy, who
died at the end of the last century at
the age of ninety-eight, and was then
most attractive old lady with an
apple blossom complexion, an abundance
of snow white, silky hair and all her
teeth unimpaired, lived during the last
forty years OF her life almost exclusive
ly on oranges. She was wont to eat
dozen of them for her breakfast, and
the same number for luncheon and din
ner. accompanied each time by a few
thin slices of rye bread and bowl Of
