No domestic servants like Emily Davis

pie that an Englishman's house is his

The result Of the interview was that the

The honor has been wrested from him by
that game black stallion, Joe Patchen, III
the most exciting speed contest ever seen
on a grand circuit track. 1t has been
said since last season that Joe Patchen
was great racer, but even his warmest
admirers did not believe that he was
speedy enough to defeat the phenomenal
Robert J. when driven by Ed Geers. the
''silent man." In the auction pools Rob-
ert j. sold for S25 and the field for 50. In
the books the Hamlins world-beate was
barred. He was supposed to have
cinch on the race. and most of the betting
was On Joe Patchen for place. After the
first heat 81 on the field would have
brought $50 on Robert j.
The second heat was the beginning or
the surprise that was to follow Inc
favorite and his rival came into the
stretch neck and neck, after pacing the
middle half in one minute. Jack Curry,
who was driving Patchen, seemed to
push the black whirlwind under the wire,
and he won by the shortest kind OF
nose in 2:044. The last two heats were
trifie easier for the black stallion,
although he won by less than length
each time. 1t was the fastest four-heat
race ever paced, and the last heat in
2:O54 was the fastest fourth heat ever
paced.

ABSOLUTELY EUDE

Battelle Dietrich, who is prominent
in the new woman's cause. is
leader in this novel plan of pODularlZ-
Ing boomers. So. too. is Mrs. Potter
Palmer. Mrs. Russell Sage is also said to
favor 1t. No definite plan has yet been
formulated. but call has been issued tor
conference of women at Sorosis late IN
July or carly in August.
Mrs. Elizabeth Cady Stanton has even
gone the length of asserting that no more
practical work was ever achieved by NOR
tai woman than Mrs. Bloomer, unaided,
performed. The monument, when 1t IS
complete and dedicated, will show to an
admiring world exactly how Mrs.
BlOOmer looked when she donned the
first pair Of bifurcaLed skirts.
Mrs. BloOmer never prescribed any
particular form for the upper garment TO
be worn with the boomers. She wore
with it q decOllete affair. which was
her view of a ball dress. The effect cre-
ated by Mrs. Bloomer when she danced
is SAID to have been thrilling. She was
quite young at the time, and the personal
courage required for such an experiment
must have been considerable.
1t was at ball given on July %, 1851,
that the heroic lady first displayed to an
admiring world her idea or the new
woman. 1t is little singular that not
until the present bicycle came did the
bloomer conquer. Few women, perhaps,
who now tool along i'll the habit think Of
what their dead and gone sister endured
for the sake of the progress. Mrs.
Bloomer, at the time OF her bifurcated
campaign, was editor of temperance
paper published at Seneca Falls, in New
York State. She had advocated in her
little publication the desirability of the
change in woman's attire, but experience
convinced her that if she wished to make
the right impression she must herself
lead the way.
'If delicacy." she asserted. requires
that the skirt should be long, why do
our ladies Il dozen times a day commit
the indelicacy Of raising their dresses,
which nave already been sweeping the
sidewalks, to prevent their dragging in
the mud of the streets? Surely few
spots of mud added to the refuse of the
sidewalk on the hem of their garment
are not to be compared to the charge of
indelicacy to which the display they
make might subject them."-N. Y. World.

There seems to be general disposition
among the officials who are chosen to ex-
ecute the laws, not to make them. to as
sumo that all laws which they DO not APP
prove, or which do not suit their pur-
poses. are unconstitutional. This is the
case with the new law relating to official
fees. Instead of enforcing the law and
leaving it to the courts to say whether ii
is constitutional or not, the officials con-
cerned seem to be in conspiracy to de-
feat it. So it is in many other cases. and
especially in cases that concern the
liquor traffic. Laws that restrict the
liquor traffic are not enforced either in
the letter or the spirit, but any law that
seems to favor the liquor dealers as
against the general public is promptly ac-

This practice of multiplying or enforcing

OF SAILORS DUTIES.
I Bakersfield Californian. |

AT the Instance of "organlZed labor" an
attack has been made upon the constitu-
tionality Of one of the shipping statutes
of this country that has been in success
full operation over hundred years. The
law in question is one which forbids q
sailor, after signing articles and shipping,
from leaving his vessel until the voyage
Shall have been completed. The position
taken by the jawsmiths is that this law is
in direct contravention OF the Constitu-
ton, in that IL prevents a man from en-
joying the liberty which is guaranteed
him by that document. In the very
nature of his occupation it is absolutely
essential that when sailor starts on a
voyage he should not be allowed TO quit
the vessel when or where he pleases
Such privilege would be destructive of the
shipping interests Of any country enact
ing il. The same necessity which max s
the Captain OF q ship at sea the absolute
ruler Of all on board, also make il essen
tial that the crew DO not allowed to desert
without mourning the just penalty of
such desertion. In that respect the mer-
camille service is like the navy and the
army.
