weary, one of the young pedestrians
replied with laugh. 81 think we could
dance this evening with as much real
enjoyment as any of you folks who
have been indoors all day. Except
for our Shoes" she added with a.
roguish glance as she displayed a sole
worn almost through.
As the fashion spreads there is no
reason to doubt that in the near future
walking tours will rival bicycle tours
In popularity. There will certainly be
this advantage that a walking tour
would be within the reach of many a
woman TO whom bicycle is an I'M

girl could easily construct a service
able tramping outfit out of some of
her cast-off wooden gowns, and with a
pair of stout boots and CATERS and a
cap she is ready to set out Of course
she will not be able at first to walk
ten miles day, or even FIVE But a.
little systematic training by taking
short trips and gradually increasing
them will soon enable the average
girl to accomplish fifteen miles a day
with perfect comfort. When she has
learned the art of walking well she
will be able to go off on any number
of pleasant little journeys with a.
sense of vigor and independence which
is delightful, and she will be healthier,
happier and more intelligent for her
tramps abroad.

THE WALKING GIRL.
She Appears With the Modern Fad
for Athletics for Women.

Until quite recently walking
seemed to be a lost art among Amer
lean women. 1t is true that ladies
walked miles in shopping expedi-
tons or promenades on fashionable
thoroughfares, but for party to set
out for a twenty-five or fifty miles
tramp into the country was a thing
unheard of. But the fashion has
been set and walking parties are
quite the proper thing, and behold,
Dame Fashion, never slow, comes to
the front with well-designed and
comfortable costumes for such occa-
sions. The short skirt, the broad,
thick-soled shoe, and the high gait
erS insure freedom and ease of mo-
ton; and thus clad, with small
knapSack swung over her shoulder
and stout staff in hand the Ameri-
can girl can tread her native soil
with as much pleasure as does her
English sister. True, the pedestrian
on the other side of the sea has the
advantage of a cooler climate. But
there are plenty of times in spring
mer when the woman on this side
the Atlantic may start off on a ten
or twenty-mile jaunt in perfect COM
fort.
A short time ago two young ladies
clad in the regulation tramping cos
tune walked into a village among the
Catskills welI-known as a summer
resort. They were regarded with no
little interest, as their garments told
plainly that they had Travelled some
distance. At the house where they
stopped for the night they entertained
the guests delightfully."- with an account !
of their experiences and adventures
Their homes were in the far West, but
they had been East for some time |
havingjust been graduated from one Of
the leading Eastern colleges. At the /
close of the college term a party Of /,
five graduates set off for a hundred j
mile tramp. At the time when the /:
young ladies arrived in the little |;
mountain village they had almost
reached the mark. having walk !
from Northampton, Mass, directly j
over the Berkshire hills into New /
York. "Oh, we have had all sorts of |
experiences said one of the young |
ladies with merry laugh Some /
folks were afraid of US and some
thought US insane, but we have en-
joyed every foot of the way. We /

dies had not missed anything, as they !

RED-Hor FRACTIONAL FIGHT
In Which the Hastings Adherents
'ss1Are by No Means Without
Hope.

HARRISBURG, Pa, Aug. %
Chaiffiian Gilkeson, of the Republi-
can state committee, has made up
the roll of delegates to the coming
state convention, which viii meet on
Wednesday next. The list as pre-
pared by Mr.. Gilkeson does not diff
fer materially from those hereto
fore published. Among the changes
made is that Bradford county is al
lowed but three delegates by Mr..
Gilkeson, instead Of four, as claimed,
and that the first district Of Berks
county gets but two. instead of
three. The list as issued does not in
dictate who will be dropped in the
counties. H. T. Northrup is seated
in Wyoming instead Of H. W. Bard
well. All the Hastings men are list
ed from the First and Fifth districts
in Philadelphia, where there are con-
tests.
1t now seems probable that the
contest for the craftsmanship of the
state committee will be
CARRIED INTO COURT
in the form of an action on behalf
of Senator Quay to compel Chairman
Gilkeson to surrender the books and
papers OF the committee The mem
bers of that body will hold a meet
ing tomorrow, at which a resolution
will be adopted requesting Mr.. Gilke-
son to attend and assist in the prep
aration of the roll of delegates. He
will almost certainly refuse, and
then it is proposed that the commit
tee elect Thomas V. Cooper, of Del
aware county, temporary chairman.
Legal steps will then be taken to
compel Mr.. GiIkeson to surrender
the books and an auditing commit
tee will be appointed to examine his
accounts. This programme will prob
ably be carried out without opposi-
ton, as it is the policy of the Hast
1ngs people to ignore any action the
state committee may take. The city
is rapidly filling up with politicians
from every part Of the state, who
have come to take part in or to wit
ness the exciting scenes that are ex-
pected to take place when the con-
Vention assemblies. There are also
present a number of the members
of the state committee; who are
here to attend tomorrow's session of
that body. Congressman Jack
Robinson, Of Delaware county, has
been selected by the Quay people as
their candidate for temporary chair
man OF the convention. The Hast
ings people have not yet announced
who they will put up for the place,
If, indeed, they have decided.
The result of the contest for the
state Craftsmanship is still in doubt.
Both sides claim they will win, but
neither faction is willing to make
public the figures upon which they
base their predictions. Chairman
Gilkeson and David Martin arrived
tonight, and are the guests of Gov.
Hastings at the executive mansion.
Senator Quay keeps close TO his
quarters in the LochieI, and Lieut..
Gov. Lyon is here aiding the SEN
ator in rounding up his forces for
the battle.

LONDON SOCIETY.
Its characteristics Are Its Heart
Iessness and Its Simplicity.

The two chief characteristics of
London society" says modern writer,
ARE it's heartlessness and its sim
plicity." Certainly il takes very little
to make what is called the smart set
in England. Practical jokes that we
would consider childish delight them.
and any new excitement, however
puerile, is welcomed with eagerness.
but what shocks and repels an Amer
lean more than anything else, unless
she has become hardened by hearing
more or less of the same kind of
talk at home in a certain set which
affects the latest Anglicisms, is the ex-
ceeding coarseness of speech. Subjects
that are generally tabooed are re-
ferred to with brutal frankness. and
vice seems treated as joke, unless it
is that of the lower classes, in which
case it is judged with the greatest Sc
verify.
1t is only fair. however, to say that
these people make themselves out to be
a great deal worse than they really
are. It seems to be a sort of bravado
with them to assume a vice even if
they have it not If they were half as
bad as they make themselves out to be,
tASy WOuiu hot Tolerate themselves.
That this set should be deemed more
desirable than any other, even by those
whose intellect and position would
seem to make them superior TO mere
fashionable considerations. is one of
the strange Inconsistencies of human
nature. but TO be thought smart
seems certainly to exercise a potent
influence on the wisest, and is the
greatest ambition Of society as
whole.

tiers.
KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Aug. 25.-Will-
lam Mulvihill, a conductor on A street
railway line here, was formerly the
husband Of Mrs. Lola Hawkins. who
was burned TO death recently at Min
neapolis and with whose murder Mrs
Lola Perkins, an alleged sister. is now
charged. Mr.. Mulvihill, when seen bv
a local reporter, was very much indis-
posed to talk about the matter He
was not aware Of the tragic affair until
told OF 1t by the reporter. He serious
~ objected to the association of his
name with the case. Finally he stated
that he had been divorced from Mrs.
Hawkins in Des Moines. To-. in 1891
The divorce, he stated, was the result
OF mutual understanding between his
wife and himself. Concerning the
grounds for divorce, he would say moth
ing except that Mrs. Lora Perkins. a wild
oW. had alienated his wife's affections
and had obtained complete control of her
Mrs. Perkins was not a sister of Mrs.
Hawkins, although the two women
claimed to be sisters. He understood
that after he got his divorce and left
Des Moines, where his family live. the
two women went to Minneapolis. He
heard that his former wife had mar
rled horseman named Hawkins. OF
the particulars Of this and of what
had become of Hawkins, he knew moth
ing. He did not even know that the
two were married.
His former wife seemed to be COM
pletely infatuated with Mrs. Perkins.
Mrs. Perkins was the widow of
printer. Perkins died of consumption.
When asked if he had heard the story
that Mrs. Perkins was suspected of
killing her husgand for $1,000 life in
surance, Mr.. Mulvihill said that he
believed he had heard something of
the kind, but he knew nothing of the
matter. He Furnished a home for his
wife and was in the employ of a rail-
way company in Des Moines, and was
getting along well when Mrs. Perkins
came along and broke up the family.
AS to Just what she did in detail Mr..
Mulvihill declined to state. He came
TO Kansas City and determined to
leave behind him all memory of his
marriage. He had no children. Mr..
Mulvihill is about thirty years of age
and an intelligent man.

them, representing herself to them to
be Mrs. Hawkins and. signing the
name, Lola Hawkins. The state has
and assured the Glob last night
that abundant proof of this fact was
not lacking.
In connection with the above DR.. tt
Q. Edwards, of the Security Life, at
first proposed to exhume- the remains
of Mrs. Hawkins and have them fully
identified, but finding that the fea-
lures were ruined by the fire and the
face was badly burned determined not
to Go so and the remains will not
be eXhumed
ANOTHER STRONG POINT.
this being cirrcumstantial evidence, is
that Mrs. Perkins boy, Frank, told
certain parties that his mother had
told him the night before the fatal fire
to sleep with all his clothes on. The
state can prove that the boy stated
his mother told him to do this and
that he also said she told him him to
have all his clothes on the night be-
fore the first fire occurred At the
hour the fire occurred certain of the
neighbors were a little surprised to
see Frankie rush from the burning
house fully dressed and asked him
how it happened, receiving the reply
that his mother told him the night be-
tore to sleep on the lounge with his
clothes on.
Mrs Perkins, herself, when first
seen was fully and completely dressed
in what might be called a street cos
tune. She had on a street dress. even
wearing corsets, and it would seem ex-
tremely improbable, so it is alleged.
that she should be so dressed were
she simply up attending tosthe sick
Womanss wants during the night. There
are number Of other minor points
which will come out later, but. if the
state is permitted to show the worrl-
ans character, it feels certain that
II can hold Mrs. Perkins to the grand
jury.
As has already been stated ATTORNEY
