The dress reform movement, which holds
up as Its first principle the permanent ban
ishment OF the corset from the human form
divine. has received a severe blow of late
and Mrs. Jenness Miller may be properly
Imagined to be writhing in paroxysms of
grief. while the champions Of the cuirass Of
whalebone. canvas and steel, cling to it
with renewed affection. Out at Kansas
City last week one Leonard Marsh, while
In fit Of Jealous rage. armed himself with
pistol and went cunning for his wife. He
found her in the Office of justice of the
peace, before whom she was about to swear
out warrant charging her lord and
master with threats Of violent character
She was accompanied by her daughter by
a former marriage When Marsh saw them
he opened fire and his aim was excellent.
Two bullets struck the two women, and 1t
was thought they were killed. Examina-
ton, however. developed the fact that in
each case the corset worn by the intended
victim had detected the deadly missile.
without more serious results than slight
bruises. There is scarcely any need Of
comment. The stays have evidently come
to stay, If they are to serve not only as
aids to beauty in feminine fancy, but as
Mfe-preservers In actual fact.

viii also be some show Of gratitude in cities
where un-fendered cable-cars are permitted
to do business. The inventive American
brain should now turn to the construction
Of life-preserving appliances which will
permit the wearers thereof to defy the
forces that now prove superior: pneumatic
clothing could certainly be designed
FOR that purpose. and there IL easy
probability that within a month or 80
If alert minds were turned in that direc-
tion-the market would be glutted with car
proof hats and shoes and half dozen sorts
OF shirt fronts that the wheels Of even a
grip-car and two heavily LOADED trailers
could make no impression on. None of
these suggested inventions are beyond the
powers Of the acute American intellect
Tailor Dove has succeeded in menufactur-
ing a cloth which successfully defes the
penetrating powers of a bullet that pune
lures forty-seven inches of pine as easily as
a darning-needle would an orange, with a
strong man operating the needle. Why
may we not hope for the construction of
vests and trousers that will smash the dash
board Of any car that happens to collide
with such garments?

Ever since the incoming Of what IL broadly
termed rapid transit" but which generally
means the overhead-trolley system. thought
full men have endeavored to find practical
remedy for transportation conditions which
demand many human lives as sacrifices; but
remedies are hard to find when there il a
wide divergence of opinion as to the causes
Some OF the investigators hold the motor
men to accountability: others pin their faith
on car-fenders: many are nationally enthusi-
astic in opposition to the obstructive poles
and the dangerously-exposed wires; a few
content themselves with blaming the re-
sponsible corporations. The real solution,
however. has been reached. One of the
Brooklyn trolley magnates, when asked to
explain the great and increasing mortality
due 10 the operation of the overhead-trolley
cars. said that there was nothing the mat
ter with the trolley; that the trouble was
principally with the people who get in front
of the cars For this settlement Of a much
vexed question the public in trolley-cursed
communities should be deeply grateful. and

Lovers Of the overhead-trolley system of

enjoyed the spectacle afforded by q broken
