Women Want to Grow Bigger.
From the New York Press.l

They are worrying in London, it seems,
over the increased size Of English women,
and we have been worried here in New York
by the spectacle OF two score or more ofthese
amplitudinous ladies in the spectacle of ''Cin-
dereila," now being presented at Abbey's
theater. The other day, in an argument
with suffrage girl. who knew everything
about history and nothing about life, l was
driven to my last trench, and said in despera-
ton:
after all, you could not be soldier. you
knowi Suppose New York was invaded by
Chinese, for instance. You could not go down
to Flarbush or Sandy Hook and fight"
Il could not now, of course" she said,

denial OF the true sphere OF women. l sup

bicycle in the school and on horseback in the
park, and swing clubs, and all that, vou could
knock me down without any trouble If you
chose. l don't count now and none of US
count physically. That's what makes it all so
wrong. Don't you remember when Cesar in
vaded Britain how the women bore part in
the defense. and even met men in actual per-
sonal combat? Then think of the Amazons
in Dahomey that we read about, There is
yonr primeval, unspoIled type of women
The time may yet come when we shall fight
the physical as well as the moral and mental
battles of life.''
She was five feet three inches high, weighed
ITO pounds, and looked like a hothouse flower.

temptation OF the primeval type Why should

for entering an appearance and all subsequent

he and Mr.. Parsons were to conduct every

all, not to worry. That was the great point

was an active lad The note he delivered ran
thus:

wauted-A innocent Piece.
fFrom the Detroit Journal,l


In these days Of money discussions it is per-
tinent TO call attention to a much-needed coin.
The denomination in mind is Scent piece.
Modern business ingenuity and enterprise
have brought about q fine discrimination in
the matter of selling prices, and instead OF be-
ing satisfied with fixing their profits in
decimais and dsmi-decimal denominations,
find it to advantage to make the concession
OF a single penny on S5, $40, or SIS sale. In
values that are less than 50 it is almost as
common to see 90 and f9 figures as il IS those
ending and 90. We submit that Scent
piece is now as necessary as Il 10-cent piece.

CATHOLIC CHURCH ATTACKED.
Mr. Linton Accuses Them of Running a
Lobby for Indian School Appropriations.

Mr.. Linton Accuses Them of Running a
Lobby for Indian School Appropriations.
When the Indian appropriation bill was
taken up in the House yesterday the proceed
ings gave every evidence of tendency to
settle into dull debate. when Representative
Linton, of Michigan. suddenly preciptated a
sectarian discussion by the contention that
the Catholic Indian school received three
fifths of all the appropriations for school pur-
poses and tnat the present bill would result
il still larger proportion.
He then charged that the Catholics had
lobby in this city and at the Capitol for the
purpose OF obtaining money for Catholic
schools On Indian reservations.
This declaration. which soon profoundly
impressed the House, he followed by having
read a collection OF letters aud resolutions of
protest from Protestant bodies. Then he gave
a list of appropriations for contract schools
of different denominations.
AT this point came the sensational part of
Mr. Linton's speech. In vigorous language
he appealed TO the country to take warning
by the history of the past, and to take precau-
tions in time to prevent religious riots. He
was opposed, he said, to church whose head
resided in foreign country, receiving the
lions share of the appropriations, and he
criticized 4 sect which used its church as a
pOIlllNhl llc " every man
in the House. whose constituents he declared
were watching their action on this question,
to vote against that section OF the bill, and he
appealed to their patriotism and their love of
religious liberty to. utterly sever all union of
church and stale.
With this sensational feature the House re-
lapsed into quiet until brief discussion of
the merits of New York and Chicago was in
augurated by Mr.. Straus' protest against the
removal OF the Indian warehouse to Chicago
from New York. Mr.. Goldzier championed
Chicago in speech which convulsed the
House.
He would not for the world he said. injure
the little village of New York, which was
about to throw OF its swaddling clothes and
emerge as greater New York" Laughter
New York had received serious blow when
the Worlds Fair went to Chicago. while New
York was obliged to satisfy itself with the
tail end Of naval review. Another blow was
when peanut vender removed his stand from
New York to the rival city OF Hoboken
[Laughter.l
Mr. Holman started to have the bill read by
paragraphs. which the Chair held would shut
off general debate, and as this was objected
to he withdrew his request. and after passing
two immigration resolutions the House ad-
journed.

AfNsWoRTH APPEAL ARGUED.
Counsel Questions the Right
To ApneaI-Court Reserves Decision.

Defendants Counsel Questions the Right
to AppeaI-Court Reserves Decision.
The court OF appeals yesterday considered
the motion of Col. Ainsworlh's counsel 20 1is-
miss the appeal from Judge McComas' de-
cision, noted by District Attorney Birney Fri
day last.
Mr.. J. A. Morrison, Of the War Department,
represented Col. Ainsworth and Assistant
District Attorney Hugh T. TagSart appeared
for the government.
Mr.. Morrison argued that If any authority
existed for the governments appeal it was
found in the first provision of section seven
OF the act establishing the court OF appeals, as
follows: ANY party aggrieved by any final
order. Judgment. or decree OF the supreme
court OF the District Of Columbia, or OF any
justice thereof. may appeal therefrom to the
court of appeals hereby created"
Mr.. Morrison contended that the act re-
ferred to did not change or add to previous
laws relating to appeals in criminal cases so
as 10 Civa in such cases right OF appeal IN
known to the common law. He cited the case
of Redmond vs Chesapeake and Ohio Rail-
road Company. in which. he alleged. the
court had construed the language OF the act
in such a manner as he precluded such a
contention by the government, and held that
the act uid not lntend tue multipiiclty OF
appeals or the giving OF the right OF appea,
in cases whore it had previously been deniedl
except rs the act specifically provided.
Mr.. Morrison also contended that in the
case of the United States VS. Sanger it was
settled that the state has no right to sue out Il
writ of error upon a Judgment in favor Of
the defendant in criminal case except in
accordance with express statutes, whether
the judgment was rendered upon a verdict or
upon a mere interlocutory order.
IN his reply Mr.. Taggart contendei that
the whole matter rested upon the determine
tion OF the court as to whether the United
States came within the term 'any party"
ana asserted that the right Of appeal as
wholly within the legislative control, and
could therefore be restricted or extended.
The right of appeal in criminal ease was
no newly-claimed one. was one exercised at
common law. and was expressly provided by
statute in several states.
In conclusion, Mr.. Taggart claimed that the
Importance OF such right OF appeal was we'll
illustrated in the Ainsworth case. At the con-
clusion of the arguments the court announced
that decision in the matter would be re-
served
