NUDE AND ANTI NUDE.
n. Y. Legislature Discusses the
Anti-Nudity Bill
1t is Designed to Protect Public
Morals.
SOME DON'T LIKE IT.
Don't Think Art Views of Fee
male Forms so Bad.
Ballots We're Exempted by an
Amendment.

ALBANT, April 24-What was designed
to be very tame, business like affair in
the assembly last night, started in con-
trary manner by the launching of the
Ainsworth anti-nudity bill, and a conse-
quent discussion. No sooner had the
clerk announced the bill than there was
an amendment offered by Mr.. Friday
exempting from the bills provisions all
entertainments where historical costum-
ing, ballets or operate performances
were concerned
Mr.. Ainsworth said that he hoped that
no such amendments would prevail The
DILL was designed to protect the morals
of the community and hinder any dis
play that WAS IN any way indecent No
man would stand up and justify such
exhibitions as have caused the inIrodnc-
ton of the bill
The bill was demanded by every de-
cent citizen in the state, and no man who
was q lover of the land and the people
would oppose it or amend It
Mr.. Foley moved to strike out the en-
acting clause and said that the bill was
entirely too drastic
DR.. Bush hoped no such motion would
prevail. For the protection of the home
and everything in the home that was
pure and decent the bill should pass
MI Ainsworth said: why, Mr..
Speaker. these destroyers of morals and
all that Is decent have even sent their
pernicious literature into the female
academies and schools of the land. There
is nothing in the bill that will stop de-
cent exhibitions and no theatrical mana
ger has protested against it."
MI FoIey-"I don't believe that the
art views Of the female form are so very
detrimental to anybody's morals. 1t is
rather the acting and conversation in in
decent lines"
Mr. Armstrong; am in favor of the
principle of the bill, but I am also for
the amendment for l believe the lines
should be drawn in the hill and not left
so ambiguous that art sales. exhibitions,
etc, shall be prohibited"
Mr.. AInsworth-HI contend that there
are great differences n productions and
nobody shall say that representation of
the Greek slave or Cleopatra is indecent,
but that fully clothed figure doing n
Cairo dance is"
Dir. Stanchfield commended that the law
was so broad that any production de-
nounced by q crowd could be adjudged
indecent and he believed that the line
should be drawn
Mr.. Ainsworth-"This bill IS not des-
tined to say how people shall be clothed.
but to say that they shall not be IN
clothed"
Dir. Fridays amendment was adopted
by a decisive vote, and the bill was
amended and ordered printed for pass
age.

WOMEN ARE AFTER IT.
Another Application for a Place on the
Sanitary Force.

Another Application for a Place the
Sanitary Force.
Mrs. DR.. Mary Stewart is the latest ap-
plicant for a position Oh the city sanitary
force. She called upon Mayor Fellows
this morning TO inquire about the duties
aud was told to make written applica-
ton and he would consider II. The city
clerk furnished DR.. Stewart with a copy
Of the ordinance governing the sanitary
force.
Mrs. DIR. Stewart is practicing physi-
clan, and there is 20 doubt but that she
is capable Of filing the position if she is
appointed
Mayor Fellows does not care to talk
about the matter, bu. his actions appear
to Indicate that he would not be averse
to putting a woman on the sanitary force
if she would serve.
There is no reason why a woman should
not be appointed on the force and there
are many women in Topeka who would
make good officers. Ne might then ex-
pect to see d revolution in the sanitary
condition of the city.
Miss lane Adams of Hull house, Chi
cage, applied for the contract of doing
the scaveuger work for sanitary district
in that city She had some excellent
plans and was backed by the best men in
Chicago, but political patronage pre-
vented Miss Addams from getting the
contract

She is Growing Rapidly Worse and Can't
Live Long
BoRDENTowN. n. j., April 24.-It now
seems but a question of but few hours
until Mrs. Della Stewart Parneu passes
away Since she was attacked by the
first CONFUSION yesterday she has grown
rapidly worse and is growing weaker
every minute. DR.. Ships. the attending
physician, has given up all hope of say
ing the aged woman's life. and as she is
too weak to undergo an operation all
that can be done is TO wait for the APP
preaching end
DR. Ships believes that if his patient
was strong enough to stand an operation
that the cIot of blood at the base of the
brain which in his opinion is the cause
of the commissions, could be successfully
removed and while it might not result in
her ultimate recovery life could be pro-
longed for some time.
Friends of the distinguished patient
are at her bedside, but she does not seem
to recognize any one. She has not
spoken half dozen words intelligibly

HOPELESS MUDDLE.
While the Dam Companies scrap To-
peka Gets No Dam.

While the Dam Companies scrap To-
peka Gets No Dam.
The mayor has called a special meet
ing of the council for tonight to consider
the advisability of reconsidering the
contract for power made By the upper
dam company.
By the terms of the contract adopt
ed at the last meeting OF
the council the city Is
to take 900 horse power, in consideration
of which the city is TO pay the dam COM
pany $40 per horse power, or $24, 200 an
nualIy.
Mayor Fellows says he has found that
the city is not able to pay for so much
power and that the city could not use
more than $40 considering that the Ca
pacity of the city electric light plant
is to be increased sufficiently to supply
the entire city with lights He thinks
the amount of power to be contracted
for should be reduced 10 400 and that the
new company would accept the contract
with that reduction.
The managers of the new company
say that if the action of the council is
reconsidered and the amount of power
to be taken by the city is reduced, they
will withdraw and all plans for building
q dam will stop.
Mr. Bartholomew of the Oakland dam
on the lower dam soon, and if that is the
case, the city would not be bound by the
contract with the upper company,
and it would not be necessary TO recon
slider it
Mr.. Fitzgerald of the upper company
says that his company will present the
$40 900 bond required at the next regu
meeting of the council and accept the
contract and ordinance if it is not
changed
There is story in circulation to the eff
feet that the power users are refusing TO
contract for power with upper company
through the influence of the lower COM
pany but Judge Day denies all knowl-
edge of anything of the kind and says
that they have already made many con-
tracts for power and have the best as
surances from others who use power.
The friends Of the upper dam charge
that the movement to reconsider the
contract is for the purpose of defeating
the upper company, but Mayor Fellows
says that he is working only for the city's
good.
