MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING.

Republican Exuberance Over the Rhode
Island Election.
One of the encouraging signs for de-
mocracy is the eagerness with which the
opposition seizes upon the slightest POI
iitical event that can be tortured into
evidence of popularity regained with
the people. The republican organs of
high and low degree are especially
jubilant over the news from Rhode
island. A clear view of the situation
fails to justify their exuberance. The
republicans were in minority at the
previous state election in Rhode Island,
but they were in power and simply as
serted the right Of possession, despite
the fact that they were outvoted by
the democracy. The democrats of that
state polled about the same vote that
they did a year ago. but six thousand
new repu blicans put in an appearance
from some unexplained quarter and
scored a victory.
If it could only be assured that this
new vote was brought out by patriotism
and not by cash the outlook for the re-
publicans in Rhode Island would be
more encouraging. They held the
Der of democrats. and it is better for
the reputation of the state that they
have title which they can defend
upon moral as we'll as legal grounds.
But experience enables every reading
man to understand the political re-
actions and to realize that they go to
the feelings rather than the convic-
tions of the people. Time and again
the voice of the electorate has made
itself heard with results such as those
recorded in the recent elections There
is little in the election of a constable,
an assessor or even a mayor to indicate
a change of belief as to the merits of
the tariff question or sound financial
system.
It would be idle to say that there is
not unrest and dissatisfaction result
ing from causes which voters are not
analysing with the same care which
they will exercise when their votes
upon the national issues are to be cast
By many the ills that exist are hastily
charged to the administration, though
they had their origin in a system which

Howard GouId's Recent Flance Introduces
New Entertainments.
New YORK, Oct 12.-In London and Paris
the reception-rooms OF well-known actresses
are very distinctive features of the theaters.
We know how Bernhardt's room is filed
with curiosties. Terry's with souvenirs, and
Madame Judic's with luxuries. These privi-
legged ones are admitted between acts or in
the interim of matinee and evening perform
ance.
But American actresses have not yet
adopted the custom. 1t is known that Miss
Rehan has charming apartment at Days,
that Miss Cayvan remains in her rooms at the
Lyceum ON matinee days, that Miss Russell is
delightfully."- fixed at the Casino, but one never
hears of any social visiting being done at such
rooms as it is abroad.
The first actress therefore to adopt the
foreign idea is Miss Elizabeth Kirkland, as
she is known socially or Miss 0dette Tyler
professionally.
Miss Kirkland is playing the leading part
in Shenandoah" at the Academy of Music
for the season. The rooms here are spacious,
for her. Miss Kirkland looked into the mode
of entertaining while abroad this year. and
came back determined to adopt it.
The large sitting-room in which she receives
her friends is hung after the English fashion
in delicately colored chintz. The woodwork
is blue The windows are cross-barred with
filagreed iron and hung in golden brown
plush Rugs are thrown about the floor,
great divans covered with golden velvet are
piled high with silk and Persian cushions. A
low French dresser is placed under two great
side lights, on which lie multitude OF silver
toilet articles. writing desk is usually open
with Miss Kirkl8nd's monogrammed paper
lying ready, and everywhere on matinee days
are flowers.
One only goes by invitation and usually
pleasant people are brought together by the
tact OF the hostess. Sometimes a clever musi-
clan is asked and in a most informal way he
spends his time at the piano, while the maid
serves tea in the exquisite cups that were sent
TO Miss Kirkland by friends when her recent
engagement to Mr.. Howard Gould was an
nounced.

TO THE MEMORY OF DIR. SINS.
Bronze Statue of the Founder of the First
Woman's Hospital in the United
States Unveiled.

States Unveiled.
New YORK, Oct 2O.-The bronze statue of
DR.. J. Marion Sims, the first public memorial
of its kind to be erected in the United States
to member of the medical profession. was
unveiled at O'Clock this afternoon in Bryant
Park.
Upon the pedestal of the statue brief in
scriptions tell in concise language the history
OF the man. On one side appears the follow
ing:
j. Marion Sims, NJ. D., Ii. D. Born in
South Carolina, 1913 Died in New York city.
1888. Surgeon and philanthropist, founder
OF the Woman S Hospital in the State OF New
York. His brilliant achievements carried the
fame OF American surgery throughout the
civilized world. In recognition of his sery-
ices in the cause Of science and mankind he
received the highest honors in the gift of his
countrymen and decorations from the gov
ernments OF France, Italy, Spain, Belgium,
and Portugal"
On the reverse side are the words "Pre-
sented TO the city of New York by his pro-
fessional friends, loving patients, and many
admirers throughout the world"
At the ceremonies of tho unveiling of the
statue DR.. George Z. Shrady delivered an ad-
dress, IN which he paid an eloquent tribute
to DR.. Sims as one of the chief representa-
tiyes of American surgery.
SohcluulnS, Dr- Snrady SAID: Livery man
has his place If brains, opportunity envi-
ronmenti and energy fit him for great things,
he Is singled out as a memory OF good ac-
complished, as an emulation for kindred
spirits, as an exponent of the progressive
idea, and as an acknowledged berefactor of
his race. The realization of such position
for DR.. Sims is manifest in the reverentIal
duties OF this hour, which consign his Iowa
bic memory to the heritage of a grateful hu-
manity."
DIR. Paul T. Munde spoke next He said
the woman's hospital. founded by Dr. Sims,
was the first institution of its kind in the
world. Its work became well-known under
his teachings. But his name became partfcu-
larly well known afterthe appearance in 1865
OF the only book OF any magnitude which ne
ever wrote, the originality and boldness OF
which aroused admiration and surprise all
over the professional world. 1t may be truly
said that this book of Sims made revolution
III modern genealogical practice.
When DR.. Muude had finished DR.. Shrady
arose and rendered the statue to the city on
behalf of the medical profession Judge
Iapham accepted the gift in the name of the
Mayor of New York.

Length of Dress Skirts.

Evening skirts are made to lie from two to
five inches on the floor, and are trimmed
with festooned ruffe of lace or chiffon.
Four yards and four yards and half are the
widths for walking skirts. Black and white
striped silks are very stylish, and these are
frequently cut so that the sides form a sue

French women never lift up their skirt un-
less it rains, and as they have gliding walk

well. They all have q pocket inserted in the
