From observation OF the different stores
i have learned that biouses and shirt
waists will be very important feature oil
summer outfits. / have been told that
nearly all London and Paris gowns sent
over as models for domi-dress show this
style OF bodice. Large exhibits OF fancy
and trim tailor-made shirt waists have
been made In this city, and from the first
day of their display they have been ad-
mired and purchased. The comfort, neat
ness and daintiness OF white and coiored
shirt waists cannot be denied, and since
their earliest appearance, after improve
ments in shape.and style, nearly all women
have been converted 10 their utility. The
new "tailor-made" waist has a slightly
sfarched shield front, collar and cuffs, the
plain fiat shield ornamenied with a vine
embroidery. 1t comes in pink, cream and
blue linen, in single colors in chambery
and gingham, and In combinations OF
dainty cotton fabrics, and can be worn
with or without an outside jacket.

the question. ''Snall the waist be buttoned

Not ALWAYS the Truth.

Editor Stead stirred up hornets
nest the other day, in Chicago, when
he appeared as volunteer speak
er at a Women's meeting called to
relieve distress among the laboring
classes out of work. In the course OF
his remarks he said that some of the
most disreputable women in Chicago
sat before him; that the woman who
lived a life of ease, with abundant
means to relieve distress, oblivious OF
suffering. was responsible for the acts
OF desperation which led to perdition.
The remark created the utmost con-
sternation. It was SO unexpected that
1t was several minutes before anybody
had recovered enough from the shock
to arise and reply. In the meantime
Stead had lett the hall. His ears
must have tingled, however, if there is
any sensibility in that portion OF his
anatomy, for one after another the en-
ragged women proceeded to score him
The work was well done, and it is safe
to say that there is one man who is SO
thoroughly dead in that community
that he will have no resurrection.

TROUBLE AMONG OUR OYsTERMEN.-

TROUBLE AMONG OUR OYsTERMEN.-
1t is to be regretted that an effort has
been made to deprive the oystermen
on Oyster Bay of their possessions
held and improved the past fourteen
years, and which have developed into
such benefit to our local trade. 1t
seems that the flats were extinct oys.
ter beds, on which, from natural
causes, the oysters had died many
years before. These they proceeded to
reclaim, by deposits of oysters and
careful cultivation, complying with
laws of the Territory in making oyster
beds. This development of thriving
business cost its originators over $780,
600, and it seems unjust that anybody
should seek, by technical construc-
ton of the State law. to deprive them
now of the results of their foresight
and labor. the matter will come up
for hearing before the Land Commits
sion on the 18th inst.

The First Newspaper.

1t is strange that newspaper re-
porters, when the comment upon
events Of auld lang syne,' should not
aim as closely at accuracy as in noting
the passing occurrences OF the day,
while there still remain SO many OF the
pioneers who are able to give facts for
the simple asking.
The PostIntiigeHc'r OF Tuesday
contains copious extracts from the
Puget SoHnh Courier, published at
Stcilacoom, in lSJJ, which it declares
twas the first newspaper published on
the Sound, and probably in the then
Territory" Had the writer OF the art
icle, who it must be remembered was
writing for a newspaper which as
sumes 10 be the leading paper OF the
State, asked Chas. Prosch, Sam Craw-
ford, &. b. Bag!ey, or Il score or more
oi Old-tlmc newspaper men in Seattle
when and where such an important
historical even; as the establishment
Of the first newspaper occurred, they
would have kept the leading paper"
from falling into the glazing error
which the unequivocal assertion that
the COuritr "was the first newspaper
published on Puget Sound involves.
They would have told him that the
Columbian, published by I. F. Neil
roy, on the same old Ramage press
used in publishing the first issues OF
the Ueekly Oregonian, made its ap-
pearance in Olympia in 1852, three
years before the Courier was dreamed
Of; and that it was still in existence
IS the Pioneer and Democrat, when
that paper appeared at Steilacoom.
The Courier had but brief existence !;
in fact it was campaign paper, started
in the interests of the Wing party, and
like its creed, "died bornin'."
In 1850, there were three newspapers
in the State of Washington: The
Pioneer and Democrat, published by
Edward Furste, of this city; the
Puget Sound Herald, by Chas. Prosch,
Steilacoom, and the Northwest, by John
F. Damon, at Port Townsend. In
November of that year the WASHING
TON STANDARD made its appearance,
and constituted the fourth member OF
very genial quartette. In 1861 the
first of these papers suspended,
and soon afterwards the two 9th.
ers succumbed to the inev-
liable, leaving the STANDARD to
win the distinction at the present
time, of being the oldest journal in the
State. Its publication has never in
80 years been interrupted by a single
nor has it passed from the
control OF its founder and sponsor dur
ing all that time.
But we did not start out to write
history OF journalism, but merely to
correct very palpable error of our dig
nified contemporary, and to call the
attention of newspaper men to the
first requisite OF good reporter-to
state facts.

DECLARES 1T UNCONSTITUTIONAL
Judge Ballenger, of the Superior Court
of Port Townsend says the law provid.
ing for extra compensation to men,
bers of the Board of County Commits
sioners, is unconstitutional, for the
reason that it provides that while the
Commissioner, if he is dissatisfied with
the findings OF the Superior Judge
may demand jury trial OF the case,
while the county is given no privilege
of jury trial. The court intimatee
that there are other grounds for de-
claring the law unconstitutional, but
it is unnecessary to state them. The
question of allowance came up on
presentation of bill by Commissioner
Starrett for $50 expenses to Vancou-
yer, B. c., to get deposition regard.
ing certain forgery cases. County
Attorney Jennings contested the bill
on the ground that the trip was unhe-
cessary and unauthorized. The Court
did not pass on that point, however
but based his action upon total insult
ticiency Of the statute.

What It Will Cost.

1t will cost about $40 to see every
thing at the Midwinter Fair, the gen.
eral ticket emitting the visitor to
admission only to the associations
buildings. 1t will take at least S. of
general admissions to be in position
to patronize the side-shows, which
charge from % to so cents. The ad-
mission to those concessions that
charge stated fee amounts, according
to the Examiner, to SOLO; these en-
brace about one-third of the features
which all who visit the fair will wish
to see. While the others charge no
admission, there are on every hand
elegant cafes, to tempt the appetite,
rolling easy chair, to WOO the weary
form to rest, curios OF all descriptions
to carry away as souvenirs, iced cream
to lower the temperature at tropical
midwinter fair, fish for you to catch
and have them cooked for you while
you wait, and many other devices to
reach the bottom OF the visitors peck
ct. If he spends only % cents at
each concession not calling for an ad-
mission fee, and if he were to pass
through the gate ten times, the cost
would be, according to a careful esti-
mate made by that journal, about $40.
While the fair was nominally opened
on the LIST, like its illustrious proto.
type, it will not be ready to entertain
visitors for fully a month yet. Those
who 60 in February will be on the
ground early enough to pay for all the
sights to be seen, and unless times
brighten up 90 as to lengthen the
purse somewhat, it would be sound
policy to stay at home and save your
money. The moral taught by the
story of little Bonnie Franklin and his
costly penny-whistle, admonishes us
to count well the value and weigh it
with the cost before you "Pays yer
money and takes yer choice"
