CORSETS WORSE THAN RUN.
Said to Injure Women More Than
Liquor Hurts Men.

KINGSTON, N. Y, March 20-At the
semi-annual convention OF the Ulster Coun-
ty Womens Christian Temperance Union
just closed the hundreds of fashionably-
dressed women in attendance and the DEL
egates were taken by surprise when Mrs.
A. II. Huiding, wife Of well-known cler-
gyman. in a carefully-prepared paper. made
a crusade against the wearing Of corsets.
She spoke against it largely from sani-
tary standpoint Sixty millions of corsets
are used yearly in the United States, she
says. She thinks that a woman OF the pres
ent day in corsets, high. square shoulders,
hour-glass waist, artificial and inartisuc
attire, is incapable of making a single
graceful movement. II beasts were so cru
ely treated the officers appointed to pre-
vent cruelty TO animals would wait upon
those responsible. -
The corset, she says, is the curse or word-
an, inflicting upon her even more injury
than rum does upon men. A woman with
corset is like a man who INDUCES in whis-
ky. The man is almost certain 10 become
a drunkard and the woman TO injure her
health by tight lacing.
The corset violates at once the laws OF
good taste and the laws of health. 1t weak
ems the body, enfeebles the mind and wa.ps
the soul. Hence IL is a hindrance TO Our
best attainments and a defiance of the pur-
poses of the Creator.

The Dunphy bill, which is now in the
House, provides for the classification Of
clerks in the postal service. The whole
subject. involving the compensation of sew
eral thousand men, and indirectly the ef-
fciency Of the service is very vague. AS
a matter of fact, the clerk does not always
know how much his compensation in any
year will be. The compensation ranges from
500 TO $780, and the classification is en-
tirely artificial. The Dunphy bill classifies
the clerks and designates the compensation,
one feature being that in the lower grades
the compensation shall be increased 500
year until the limit of $500 is reached This
portion Of the bill relates to clerks in the
postofiices-a class OF men whose work is
exacting and incessant. For such work
compensation Of 500 a year after three
years experience is very moderate. 1t is no
wonder that men of the capacity required
for the service resign because they can do
better than 10 work indefinitely at $500 a
year. The Dunphy bill should be enacted,
both In justice 10 the clerks and to secure
an efficient postal service.

GOVERNOR RICH UPHELD.
Michigan's Supreme Court Says He Was
Right in Removing officials.

LANSING. Mich, March 20.-The SUI
preme Court this morning rendered a de-
clsion sustaining Governor Rich in remov-
ing Secretary of State Joachim, state
Treasurer Hambitzer and Land Commits
sioner Berry for gross negligence in failing
personally TO canvass the returns on the
salaries amendment election in 1898 They
hold that it was within the power OF the
Governor TO remove such officials under
the Constitution and that he has power to
determine as 10 the facts A judgment
OF custer is entered. When the decision was
read Colonel Atkinson, for the canvasseTs,
announced that he would appeal the case
TO the United States supreme Court, and
asked for stay or proceedings. Chief JUS
tice McGrath refused the stay saying the
point could be determined Just as wei IL
the custer went into effect Immediately.
The cause leading to the removal OF the
otnclals py the Governor was gross negli-
gence in permitting the manipuls ton of
the returns OF 1888, whereby their salaries
largely increased. ALI OF the above officials
and several clerks have been indicted by
the grand jury on various charges OF fraud.
Governor Rich this afternoon announced
the following appointments: Washington
Gardner. OF Albion, Secretary OF State;
James Wilkinson, of Marquette, State
Treasurer; William A French, OF Bell,
Commissioner of the State Land Office.
No demand has yet been made upon the

of proceedings pending an appeal to the
United States Supreme Court. This mat
ter Is under adviSement.

tiOn-TwO Bills Passed.

WASHINGTON, March 20. - Hawaii
cropped out in the Senate again to-day,
when Mr.. Turpie attempted to reach some
mutual agreement for the consideration of

of the Hawaiian territory to- this country"
Mr. Dolph, however, blocked this purpose.

to come to any agreement in regard to the

MICHAEL KEEGAN DYING.
A Widely-Known Railroad Contractor
and Daring Better on Horse Races.

LOUISVILLE, KY, March 20.-Mr. MI
chael Keegan, the well-known railroad con-
tractor and turfman. is dying of cancer OF
the stomach at st. Joseph's Inhrmary. Yes
terday a surgical operation was performed.
which may delay the end for a while. Kee-
gan's name is known from the Atlantic
to the Pacific, and his railroad contracts
brought him an extensive business ac-
quaintance. But his fame came through
his bold speculative spirit in race betting.
For a dozen years he had carried the repu-
tation of being the ''piunger'' OF the SoLtA.
1t was In the spring Of 1888 that Keegan
won his name as plunger at Churchill
Downs. The starters for the Louisville cup
that year were Thora, John Davis and
Ida Stanhope. Thora a hot favorite,
and the talent looked upon her as a
''cinch,' but keegan thought otherwise. He
bought every pool that he could get on
Ida Stanhope. The result is well known.
Thora broke down and Ida Stanhope beat
Davis to the wire. Keegan won $4,000 on
the race and had TO haul his money TO the
city. He will leave a large fortune, in
Guiding fine stock farm in Missouri.

MUNICIPAL REFORM.
Senator Henderson Thinks Cities Should
Own Street Railways, Etc.

WASHINGTON, March Ex-senator Man.

In favor OF municipal ownership of street
railways, lighting and water works Ad-
dressing the annual meeting Of the WASH
ington Congregational Club upon THE Good
Citizens in Municipal Affairs the Senator
advocated a change in the present system
Of municipal government 1t was unfair
that I'm so many cases men controlled the
funds of a municipality who had no m
terest in its welfare and prosperity. l'ri-
vate corporations, he said, had no right
to furnish light, water or transportation
for municipal purposes. If there was profit
in conducting these enterprises the munic-
ipality should conduct them and reap the
benefits. And it was the duty Of good cit
liens TO see that this was brought about.
The president, Justice Brewer, Of the United
States Supreme Court, said that II was the
vicious element OF New York that gave TO
the municipal organization Of that city its
enormous power, and that ii must be
through the willingness and faithfulness OF
the good citizen If reform was TO be ac-
ccmplished.

Herbert Spencer as a Guest.

Herbert Spencer is a special friend Of
Grant Allen, to whose home he recently
went as a guest, but being in fragile health.
Mr. Spencer said that he could not endure
the noise Of many persons talking together
so he begged TO have his meals in the room
adjoining the dining room. Yet his social
instinct prompted him to ask that the door
between the two rooms be left open. 1t
should be said that Mr.. Spencer has In
vented a pair of iron clappers which he
shuts over his ears when the sounds of life
become too oppressive for endurance. AS
the family were talking and laughing in the
dining room, Mr.. Spencer could not endure
the strain, and called out TO them that
they were too hilarious"
The next day they subdued their voices
10 the lowest pitch. and he complained that
they were mot company enOGgh." They
then went out TO drive. and the talk be-
came so lively that. with a snap, he drew
hack well nigh exhausted.
