street by her father, has at last found
a home with her uncle. Charles Gross

the refusal of the American Female
Guardian Society nearly two months
ago to give up the child.
Legal proceedings had been threatened,

represented Mr.. Grosskurth, and Mr..

A Question for Women.

Why will women be so careless in
little things about their dress? A stray
end of ribbon flying, a ragtag hanging
from the border OF her gown, a button
missing, a tiny rip. too small, she thinks,
to he .ioticed. a rip in her gloves and
countless other little slovelinesses give
her an untidy look that mars the beauty
Of any costume. No woman looks WELL
dressed II she be careless about these
minor appointments. Any and all Of
them are fatal despoilers of a girls
attractiveness. 1t is very easy to get in
n way of putting in a pin to hold
the bow of ribbon when 1t becomes
loosened, or TO practise scores of make
shifts. but the practice is a bad one and
will surely mark one as shiftless and
careless.

HEARD THE PRESSES ROAR.
Photograph and "The Evening
World" Checred at Proctor's.

A large audience listened with rapt
attention last night to the hum and
clatter OF THE Worlds" giant presses.
1t was not In the press-room OF 1.-THE
Word" or along the visitors gallery
leading thereto that this audience was
entertained with the music Of the great
news machines, but at Proctor's The
atre.
Edward Clarence, who for the last,
four years has been connected with the
Edison Company, reproduced on the
stage with the aid Of n powerful phono-
graph the noise of the press-room, heard
during the printing OF 1.-THE Evening
Worlds" s O'Clock Extra last evening.
1t was the first time such a novel idea
was sprung upon the public, and when
the photograph itself announced that 1t
would reproduce the noise OF 1.-THE
Worlds presses the audience applaud
ed loudly. And when It ended with a
cheer for "The World" by the boys OF
the press-room the applause of the au-
dience was long and hearty.
Manager Proctor conceived the Idea
which made such a hit at his theatre
last evening.
Mr.. Clarence. accompanied by John y.
Rogers. one OF Mr.. Proctor's assistants,
drove to the Pulitzer Building yesterday
afternoon and saw the 6 O'Clock Extra
OF "rhc Evening World' printed. While
all the presses were in motion the pho
nograph recorded the noise. and repro
duced 1t on the stage OF Proctor's Thea
ire an hour later.

THE DRAKE.

TO the Editor:
Some few years ago. while visiting the public
library at Colombo, Ceylon, among a good many
''curiosities OF literature I found a volume Of a
little weekly comic paper called the Delhi Punch.
1t was published at Delhi In the early sos,
when John Company bossed things ana the great
Sepoy mutiny vas undreamed OF. The Jokes
were awful. but the Illustrations caHcaturing the
English grimm and the hopeless ihanity OF the
native servant. who. as an instance, on being
demonstrated with for straining the soup through
his masters socks. FASTENED to explain that they
were only dirty ones. were we'll drawn and very
funny. But on turning the leaves ! came across
a piece Of rhyme with a refrain that sounded
strangely familiar. and ran thus:
but H.. f.,
The Governor. he
Don't think the petitioners worth q rupee"
II. E., OF course. stands for His Excellency.
Can 1t he possible that James Russell Lowell had
ever seen the Delhi Punch Or was his we'll
known poem written early enough to be parodied
by the periodical In question? Who can answer
this TUTICORIN.

seats to ladies on the IL road. horse car or any
other vehicle OF public conveyance, and the whole
matter makes me tired texcuss the slangy ex-
precision, but take 1t literally. and It really does.

ton. The other night. on the Il" road. a young
man got up to civ" his seat to a young lady. when

himself down In 1t and refused TO get up. I should
call that man, Judging from the way | have been

RESERVATIONS DUE TO-DAY.
Governor Has Charges Ready II
Michigan officials stick.

LANSING. Mich. Feb. 6.-Another sus-
piCious circumstance in connection with
the 1893 salaries amendment canvass IL
that while the legislative manual Of 1891
gives thu vote on the salaries amend
m mt by counties, the manual for 1853
gives only the total vote--the vote by
counties not appearing at all.
Undoubtedly some one in authority Is
responsible for this departure. Gov.
Rich has his charges already prepared
to serve upon the delinquent State Of
metals to-day In case their designations
are not forthcoming.
The usual custom in other cases of re-
movals will be followed by giving the
defendants eight days in which to an
swer. although both the statute and the
Constitution apparently leave the cause
or removal within the discretion of the
Governor.

Wake Up, Annexed District.

To the Editor:
II the people OF the Annexed District are show
Ing signs OF wakefulness In consequence OF the
proposed bill for the annexation OF Brooklyn |
trust nothing will be said by The Evening
World to quiet their fears. 1t is not generally
known how badly they are in need OF something
20 awaken them something that will keep them
awake and make them hustle. Their last wakeful
moments were fruitful in procuring a Street Com
missioner for the district. but the inherent drow-
siness peculiar to the people Of this section has
so affected the employees that It is not uncommon
to SEQ rock prospectors asleep at their drills and
the people wade in mud. which ia Just as deep
as when last measured by a special committee
sent down from Albany. They litter their houses
with mud, and in their wakeful moments wonder
where it comes from. Therefore I hope THE
Evening World will encourage their wakefulness
nor disguise the truth that 1t is the only hope OF
their salvation. c. c.

Corsets for the United States trade
are made to measure from models &C.
lected in the United States. French
corsets fit French women because they
are modelled from French figures, and
although they please Americans they are
far from satisfactory. Domestic. manu-
facturers were aware of this When they
began using American women for
models in place of imported dummies or
forms. The most celebrated New York
firm makes twenty-five different sizes.
for which twenty-five differently formed
women and girls pose. In the run or
corsets for fat women there are no less
than fourteen sizes.

1t Is true, In ordinary cases, that n
man should not be condemned until the
evidence Is all In and passed upon, But
neither should he be acquitted, These
remarks are suggested by the incident OF
~Brockway's r-instatement at Elmira,
and some comments which 1t has called
forth. However. in ~Br0ckway's case,
the extraordinary circumstance occurs
that all the evidence, both for the pros
ecution and the defense" points one
way. This IL what renders the prema-
ture 'vindication' OF the accused Super
intendent by the Board of Managers SO
remarkable a proceeding.
