Boards ON THE COMING WOMAN.
(St. Louis Republic)

VIII the coming woman be a bearded
Amazonian and the coming man a weak
and hairless freak? We are told by the
anthropologists, the psychologists, and
other lists" that the coming man will be
as bald as billiard ball, and that his
face will be as smooth as that Of a babe.
We had begun to reconcile ourselves to
the inevitable, but now the scientists
have made the startling announcement
that the beardless ana hairless man will
have a bearded woman for a companion.
provided. of course, that he has any kind
of "A female '-helpmect." This amazing
information is put before the world by n
learned German, who asserts that nous
taches are much mere common among
women than they were so or even 20 years
ago. In Berlin, Vienna, Constantinople.
he says, one out of each 10 women has an
unmlstakeable covering Of down upon the
upper hp, while one out of each 20 has a
very fair moustache. In Spain, also, the
proportion Of women with this masculine
characteristic is shown to be as great as
it is IN the German capital or in the city
on the Golden Horn. America, too, this
learned German says medical men tell
him thar from to per cent Of the ladies'
are similarly adorned. and that a still
larger per cent get rid of the unWelcome
hairs by the application of depilatory
preparations. What is the meaning Of
this wonderful increase in bearded women ?
Is it to he regarded as a sign of physical
or mental Improvement of the human
race, or the contrary?

Mr.. Powers Again Con rai1cts the state
ment That Liqu Was Sold There.
To the Editor of the New Yo-k Evening
Post:
Sir:-I begin to think with "Jeems' that
"a hatercation is never no good" but as
your recent editorial seems to give the lie
to my statements, think it best to explain
more fully. ] purchased the street rail-
road in burlington early in 1888, and was
engaged in rcConstructing and extending
the same during 1898 and 1894 During the
major part of that time lived at the Van
Ness House, and | am familiar with the
means by which liquor can be obtained
there. The hotel keeps no bar nor any
liquor for sale on the premises, SO far as
know. AS a matter of fact, a man can
not sell, furnish, or give away" what he
does not own, and there is no pretence
that Gov. Woodbury. ever owned the three
bottles of whiskey and one of beer" now
cherished by the editor of the Rutland
Herald, or any others obtained by guests.
AS to liquor being served in the dining
room, have n friend who had it so served
but happen to know that he purchased
it outside the hotel The waiter drew the
cork, believe, but / doubt this to be an
indictable offence, even in Vermont. If
the servants of the hotel are induced by
Guests,or even the "unimpeachable" friend
Of newspaper editors in search of am
muniton, TO purchase liquor for them
thereby inducing the said servants to
commit what they believe to be crime
against Vermont law), is it not a little un-
just to convict Gov. Woodbury. of violating
the law on such facts, especially in view
of the absence of a bar in the Van Ness
House? VIII the Evening Post please
describe how it would run a hotel in YER
mont and obey the law better?

II. W. Vail and wife, and Prof. ]. L. Hills
and wife and two children. The eXcur-
sion embraced trip to Mount Mansfield,
which was made from Jeffersonville
through Smugglers Notch over the new
road opened last season. The scenery
through the Notch is as grand as Vermont
affords. The party remained on Mount
Mansfield Tuesday night and found excel

of Agriculture and wives with the excep-
ton Of Prof. Hills and family proceeded
to Greensboro and went into camp at

morning. The scenery about this lake is
beautiful, the water clear, and the air
bracing. The lake is three miles long and
covers 400 acres and there is no record of
Il fatal accident ever having occurred up-
on it. Consi cradle time was passed upon
the lake in rowing and a trip in the little
steamer of Mr., Halls was highly enjoy
ed. Through the kindness of Mr.. j. b.

Investigation into the recent explosion
by which 50 men lost their lives is still

The developments today were i'm

which the law regarding the storage
Of explosives has been disregarded.
Witnesses testified that there were all
the way from 1000 pounds TO 20 tons
Of giant powder in one burning ware
house, and that some one, unknown,
who seemed to have authority, assured
the firemen that there was no powder
in the building.
Witnesses also testified that on the
night after the explosion, hardware
dealers hauled from their stores in the
business part of Butte, as high as 500
pounds of powder, which had been
kept in store there. Testimony was also
introduced going to show that powder
was shipped into Butte in cars marked

Washington, D. c., Jan. 25-Dock-
ery's scheme to cut down more ex-
penses by decreasing the efficiency Of
western land Offices does not possess
sufficient vitality to insure its passage,
and western receivers may rest secure
in their offices during this Congress at
least. It is very doubtful if the bill
effecting the changes will pass the
House committee; if it should, western
men viii make a, strong fight on the
floor and believe they will defeat it.
Even should they be unsuccessful the
bill cannot pass the Senate Public
Land committee, as that has been fixed
already. Next Congress Dockery will
not be in power. and. therefore. the
limit is to be fixed.
The subcommittee Of the House Ju-
dietary committee will probably not
consider this session the bill restoring
the escheated real estate to the Nor
mon church. They have felt all along
that it would be an almost useless en-
deavor to pass the bill at this session.
as it is one that would provoke much
opposition and debate. There is
scarcely time to pass appropriation bills
and measures backed by a strong dele
cation on which there is d practical
agreement. Under thsse conditions the
subcommittee believe it would be a
waste Of time for them TO take it up,
as the Judiciary committee will be re-
organized by Reed for the next Con-
gress and the matter must come up
again before that new committee.
