DIVORCE AND TROUSERS.
Two Topics Touched Upon by the National
Council of Women.

Council of Women.
PHILADELPHIA, May 9-Marrage and di-
vorce and dress reform were the subjects
that occupied most of the time of the exec
utive board of the national council of wom-
en- of the United States at the Continental.
Touching the matter of divorces for in
human and cruel treatment, the council
points to the danger of making it any
more difficult to leave state in which one
human being is so wholly in the power of
another The council then resolved that
the first step toward elevating the home is
to put man and woman as homemakers in
a position of legal equality. 1t passed an
other resolution thanking Judge Jere Will
son for his just advocacy of the rights of
women under the law and in the profess
sions in his recent public plea before the
courts of the national elpital.
''The attempt to make trousers look and
behave like skirt can never be satisfacto-
ry," declared the executive council of near
ly 100000 of the mother sex.
The details of the report on dress reform,
written by Mrs. Russell, were considered
by committee consisting of Kate B. Sher-
wood, Ellen B. Iietrick E. B. Grannis,
Ellen Longstreth and Mrs Quigley, and
with slight amendment against esta blish-
ing an official dress magazine the report
was adopted.
= In working toward the proper style they
say: 1--WE must be bold, but not too bold.
1t seems absolutely necessary to destroy
the fashionable idea as fast as possible,
and the hideous newspaper illustrations
of latest novelties are helping us wonder
fully" The council then decided to offer
prize for design of suitable student
girls dress-one suitable for all college
work and exercise.
They then adopted the following as the
requisites for such dress: 1. No interior
ence with the free and natural action of
the organs and limbs of the body. 2. No
contradictions of the natural womanly
outlines. 8. Simplicity of construction
and ease of adjustment to the wearer. 4.
Adoption to a variety of materials and to
changes in temperature.

Militia Held In Readiness,

PARKERsBURG, w. Va, May 9.-Orders
have been issued from brigade headquar-
tiers in this city to companies c, D, f and
K of the West Virginia national guard to
be ready to move at two hours notice, and
several other companies have been asked
to hold themselves in readiness for action
in anticipation of trouble with West V1r-
ginia miners Brigadier General Spillman
is superintendent of the Monongat Coal
and Coke company, the largest in the

General Spillman of their readiness to
move at his command.

Maryland Mines Idle.

BALTIMORE, May 9.-Dispatches from the
mining region of western Maryland and
West Virginia show that the ranks of the
strikers are hourly being augmented. In
the Georges creek region the Ocean mine
of the Consolidation Coal company, the
largest on the creek, has stopped The
Barton miners have struck, and the Iona
coming men will quit today. The meeting
at Wright's Crossing, near Frostburg, ap-
pointed committees to prevail upon Ech-
hart & Hotfman's men to join the strike.

The Spokane IndustriaIs.

SPOKANE, Wash, May 9.-The Spokane
industrial army, under the leadership of
Dolphin, is camped at Hillyard. Dolphin's
claim that he had secured transportation
was hoax, and the men are growing dis
satisfied. Stragglers from Seattle and
Tacoma are dropping into Spokane all the
time, and more will be here in a few days.
The corps of deputy sheriffs at Hillyard
has been reduced to 16. Everything is
quiet.
There is no truth in the rumors of trou-
BILE at Sprague between commonwealers
and deputy marshals. When the stock
train pulled out of there with deputies on
board, some of them fired shots into the
air to brighten back men trying to climb
aboard. The crowd has cleared out of
Sprague, some of them catching freight
trains and some tramping out. About 600
or 700 men are strung out along between
Ellsburg and Sprague. The situation here
is unchanged.

BROOKLYN BRIEFS.

The funeral of Hanora Brennan, who
died suddenly at her residence, 40 Rail-
road Hill street, yesterday afternoon, will
take place at 2 o'clock tomorrow after
noon.
Daniel Cassidy was thrown from a
team Cd Porter street yesterday receiving
few bad cuts on the head and face to-
gether with black eye. DR. Donahue at
tended him.
DIR Dubuc performed an operation on
boy named Slasher on North Leonard
street yesterday. The boy got his thumb
caught in fish hook, and the doctor
found it necessary to make an incision
over an inch deep to relieve the point of
the hook before it could be removed.
"A driver broke the springs of his car
riage on the Bank street bridge the other
day, and says he intends to ask the select
men to pay for repairing them. The
bridge is in a bad condition and should be
attended to at once. The DEMOCRAT
called attention to the condition of the
place few weeks ago.
Judging by the chart at Cones drug
store there will be a crowded house at the
opera house tonight to witness the per-
Torrance which will be conducted under
the auspices of the Brooklyn Dramatic
club. There are some good seats left yet,
and those who attend will witness one of
the most interesting stage performances
that has ever been seen in the city.
@-Residents of Washington avenue still
complain of the nuisance caused by burn
ing debris in Holmes, Booth & Haydens'
yard. When the wind blows in the di-
rection of their houses they are compelled
to keep their windows closed and this they
consider very undesirable during the sum-
mer months. They have tried every
means to have the nuisance removed
but all their efforts have been unsuccess-

CUMBERLAND, Md, May 9.-Alfred Metz,
a young miner employed in the Potomac
mine, near Barton, met with most horri-
BILE death while at work in the mine. The
roof caved in upon him and almost mashed
his body into a jelly. The unfortunate
man was 25 years of age and the only sup
port Of an aged mother. Metz refused to
quit work when asked by some strikers on
account of his mother

bama Mines.
PHILLIPsBURG, Pa, May 9.-Three hun
dred miners from the neighborhood of
Keystone hill made their appearance at the
mines of Richard Hughes, near Osceola,
for the purpose of trying to induce num-
Der of miners at work there to join the
strike. They are still encamped at the
mine, but thus far have not fully succeed
ed in their purpose. The ls-ine supplies the
Tyron paper mill with coal, and at first
the working miners, who We're armed, de-
clared that they were American citizens
and proposed to do as they pleased.
The delegation then went into temporary
camp on the township road and it required
great effort on the part of their leader to
keep the men off the nnpany's property.
The owner of the mine was seen, but he
refused to suspend operations. Finally
the men at work decided that they would
not go into the mine while the delegation
remained there, and the visitors sent to
Osceola for recruits to come and relieve
them while they went to dinner. The
same thing occurred at supper time, and
all last night the men kept up the siege.
The operators announce that they will
have policemen on hand today to protect
all who want to go to work, and trouble is
probable.

Shot Herself af, the Theater.

PARIS, May "A young Frenchwoman
named Cuyot attempted to commit suicide
in the Empire theater last night, The
woman occupied a seat in the grand circle
and was in full evening dress. She shot
herself and was carried from the theater,
and doctors were summoned. The ball had
lodged in the abdomen, and the wound
will probably prove fatal. The people in
the theater were in a state of partial panic
and were with difficulty quieted. Nothing
could be learned of the woman's motives
for her action.

ings have been burned, and at present both

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, May AT the Blue
creek mines over 100 negroes were put to
work without molestation, and the evic-
ton of striking miners is in progress. This
has irritated the strikers considerably and
continued threats of violence are being
made. Threatening notices, bearing dag
gers, pistols, collins and crossbones, are be-
ing posted promiscuously. Meetings are
being held at all the camps, and it is
thought that an outbreak will be attempt
ed on some of the mines which are now
working negroes. The situation is serious.

MorriIPs Humor.

Mr.. Hoar's temper was seemingly I'M
ruff1ed when he replied in few words to
what Mr.. Gray had said. He said that the
senator from Delaware had been too severe
in his condemnation of the Mckinley law
when he stood here on this floor advocat-
ing measure dotted and crowded all over
with protection If protection was uncon-
stitutional and robbery, this was wicket
thing to do Why did he not tell the sen
ate, in extenuation of his course, why he
had put protective duty on sugar?
II do not propose to put a protective
duty on sugar." calculated Mr.. Gray from
his seat. Can the senator not understand
the difference between protective and a
revenue duty?' An audible litter ran
round the Republican side at this retort.
Mr.. Hoae insisted that an attempt to
show that increases in duties were for rev.
enue purposes and not for protection was
simply an evasion.
The discussion was closed by the venera.
BILE senator from Vermont, Mr.. Morrill,
The author of the old war tariff, white
haired and bent with age, arose in his
place, smile playing about the corners of
his lips. AS he had on previous occasions
said something in derogation of the Demo-
cratic tariff measure, he desired now to say
something in appreciation. The 400 amend
ments to the tariff bill offered on Monday,
he said, showed that after listening to Re-
publican speeches for six weeks the Demo
cratic senators had learned something. If
the tariff bill were laid aside for month,
and that month were devoted to study by
his friends on the other side of the cham
Der, he thought that at the end of that
time they would bring in a bill which
would be perfectly acceptable to the Re-
publican side and which would pass the
senate unanimously. The senate seemed
to enjoy the playful joke. g s-~- - r
When Mr.. Morrill, took his seat, Senator
Quay appeared from behind his huge pile
of manuscript and resumed the speech he
has been delivering since April Is.
No attention was paid to the Pennsylva-
mia senator save by the official reporters
He spoke in low voice and could not be
heard far from his seat.
He completed this long detailed account
of the processes of refining sugar and took
up the subject of wool and woolens, treat
ing it in the same exhaustive manner in
which he had dealt with sugar. Several
times during the afternoon a call of the
senate was had upon the suggestion of
some of his Republican colleagues. These
roll calls gave Mr.. Quay the necessary
breathing spell. Finally, on motion of Mr..
Mills, the senate went into executive ses-
sion.
In the House.
The bill for the erection of public print
ing Office in Washington occupied the at
tention of the house during the greater
part of the day and came to rather ig-
nominious ending. A number of amend
ments and substitutes were offered to the
first section, providing for the purchase of
a site, but the only one which finally came
out of the melee was resolution of Mr..
Holman to refer the question to commits
sion, to consist of the committee on public
buildings and grounds, with INSTRUCTIVE
