Pride and Grief.

Notwithstanding their sorrow, women
who order mourning give the dress
maker no peace and no pay until every
thing is all right. Mourning is made in
day, or, II the order Is received in the
afternoon. ii is finished at night. The
cutter goes to the house, takes the
measures. and either carries away old
gowns for compa rison or returns by APP
pointment and Ats the costumes. In the
bodices and jackets the alteration seams
are only basted, and usually the finish
ing is flesh work, unless the firm is ia
miiiar with the customers ideas After
the funeral the trouble begins. Nine
ont of a dozen orders have to be re-
made; appointments are renewed and
repeated again and again. 1t is the
general opinion that mourning goes
back oftener than any other class OF
work, ball dresses not excepted.

An old-fashioned prescription for

Animal Foods for summer.

Animal foods contain fats which are
heat producing. A little oil, or even cold
cream, rubbed on the face will heat the
tissue and excite perspiration. In hot
weather the diet clothing and surround
ings most conducive to a lower tempera-
ture are desirable. One meat meal a
day Is all that an adult should allow
himself In midsummer. and one ounce
OF meat is the limit for the young: chill
dren under five years of age do not re-
auire any. Aside from heating the sys-
TEN, the danger.of tuberculosis in beef,
tapeworm in veal and trichinae in pork
is greater in Summer than in any other
season. Butter. milk and eggs are rich in
nutriment. contain the essential eIe-
ments, and are digested without great
muscular expense

Dastardly Attempt Miscarries at
West Oakland.

Cast-lron Pledge Required of Re-
turning Southern Pacific Men.

WEST OAKLAND, Cal, July l7-An
attempt was made last night. to blow up
the local train connecting with the 3
o'clock boat from San Francisco. A
cartridge Of giant powder was placed on
the track. 1t did some damage to the
engine, but happily resulted in no in
jury TO either the crew or the passen-
gers.
The train was well filled and left the
Mole about fifteen minutes late. When 1t
reached kirkham street there was a
loud explosion. then a fash of flame. fol-
lowed by dense smoke. So strong was
the shock that the train was brought to
sudden standstill There was much
excitement among the passengers and a
rush 10 escape through the windows or
over the gates.
The conclusion shattered the windows
OF the cars and of residences along the
line OF track. The engine was twisted
and broken by the shock.

A PUBLIC DANGER.

The Legislature last Winter passed n
law making 1t a misdemeanor to crowd
the passageways in theatres and other
public places OF amusement In such a
manner as to make free and unobstruct-
ed ingress and esress difficult.
Yesterday Martin Hoffman. the chief
usher OF the Garden Theatre. was on
trial in the Court OF Special Sessions,
charged with violation of this law. 1t
was the first case tried under the stat

THE MULBERRY STREET CHANGE

Police Commissioner McClaVe has re-
sSred. and the reasln given is that his
health has been 80 undermined that 1T is
uncertain how long his recovery may he
delayed. Mayor Gilroy, recognizing the
Importance OF having Fun Board OF
commissioners In active work at this
Time, has promptly accepted the resigna-
ton and appointed Gen. Michael Kerwin
to I'LL the vacancy.
Whatever may be thought OF the testi-
mony against Mr.. McClave, ii is certain
that his retirement from the Police Com
mission Is in the public interest He
would have been OF no use there in the
future except as an unquestioning tool
or the Tammany Commissioners. and his
presence in the Board was a scandal.
1t Is singular that the policy SO much
desired by Mr.. Plat. and supposed 10 be
favored by Mr.. Croker. OF a bipartisan
Police Commission. although defeated
at Albany, has now been esta blished by
other means, and precisely in the man
rer Mr.. Plat desired. The very Repub-
icans that leader would have chosen are
now in the Board, and they are there
without the safeguards and reform pro-
NIsloHs contained IN the Dill vetoed by
Gov Flower The position az Mulberry
street to-day Is precisely as 1t would
have been II Mr. Plat had been able to
retain the boss-ship he was az first sup.
posed to have established over the Al
bany Legislature last Winter. and his
alleged original bargain with the Tam
many lead r had been carried out.
There is no uncertainty about the po-
litical position Of the two new Republi.
can members Of the Board. MIR. Murray
Ia the census mutilator who sought 10
cut down the population and the repre-
sentation Of the Democratic city of New
| York, and Gen. Kerwin Is the former
Democrat who strove to defeat MIR
| Cleveland in 1884 by turning over to the
| Republican candidate the Irish vote OF
the city. He was rewarded by President
| liprrison with the Collectorship OF In.
| ternal Revenue.
| Both the new Commissioners are Plat
| Republicans, and their appointment
strengthens the Milholland faction OF
that party. 1t remains to be seer
whether the new deal means. as Is gen
orally believed, the nomination of straigh
Republican city candidates this year u!
allies OF the rammany ticket.

To the Editor:
The highly cultivated and thoughtful lady teacher
who says that the abolition OF corporal pun'h-
ment has decreased the teachers efficiency 80 pct
cent is without doubt person addicted TO
large speech. and one who will judge all schools
by her own experience. teacher Who can teach

A girl Of this stamp accomplished the ruin OF my

way ! never progressed any under her, and even
lost all interest in school being compelled TO

money. will not attempt to say that the rod
cannot be used to aid a teacher but II can be put
to a serious misuse by people who teach only
to have something to do, which doubtless. is
very commendable In itself, but very injurious Ia
our public school scholars. How many teachers
love their work? Not many. think. And they
have no use for rod they are teachers.

CALLS DEBs An ENTHUSIAST.
But A. F. of L. Treasurer Lennon
Greatly Admires Him.
Reasons Why the Federation Didn't
Order a General Strike.

Treasurer John b. Lennon OF the
American Federation of Labor, who ar
rived from the Chicago conference with
Secretary Chris Evans yesterday, gave
an Evening World" reporter to-day
some of the reasons which convinced the
delegates that general strike would
have been useless
I'm the first place" he said. "Presi-
dent Debs, of the american Railway
Union, never asked us to strike at all.
We went to Chicago at the request OF
the Chicago trades. and the order that
has already been restored proves that
We did not go there in vain.
I'VE found on arriving that a number
of men there had gone out, that all the
other trades affiliated with us were only
waiting for the word 10 go out. and we
also had kilograms from every quarter
or the country that our men were only
waiting for the word.
After hearing President Debs and
going over the situation Thoroughly. we
refused To consent to u general strike
as We believed II would do no good
TO the American Railway Union.
also want to say right here that every
single delesate-even those from Chica-
go thought the same; further, that our
REFUSAL TO so out had no effect whatever
In favor of or against the railway men.
We realized that u general stoppage

Wall DRESSING.

A bare wall is better than one blotched
with daubs. Many pictures that hang
in family parlors would look well in
the woodshed. Unless a portrait has
artistic merit or exquisite beauty, it
should be hung in the hall or private
room. Faces lost to sight 10 memory
dear" are too sacred to be gazed at by
the selfish critical crowd. 1t is good
judgment to hang marine, aquatic and
field pieces low; oceans. yivers and
meadows are seldom seen above ground.
one fine engraving or good etching is
more to be priced than four square walls
of gilded, paint-spattered canvas.
