Mere English Agony.

In the United States, which used to be called the paradise of women, they are not just now having very good time. They are suffering from the per secution of both sexes. In the state of Albany law against ladies wearing tall hats ill theaters was recently pro- posed in the legislature, while bill has been laid before the board of aldermen at Chicago, at the instigation of the Wo- mems Reform society, to forbid women from wearing leggings or skirts that are above certain number of inches from the ground. The men want their attire to be cut off at one end and the women to have it heightened at the other. What would the fair fashionables who disport themselves in Battersea park on their two wheeled stecds say to such sartorial edictS? The new woman boasts of the freedom permitted to her sex in Amer ica, but even there, it seems, they want to trample on her, or at least upon her skirts. London News.

Don't go in at all if you are told there is danger.
 Don't start to swim out to a boat. It may bc drifting.
 Don't go into the surf above your waist if you cannot swim.
 Don't think you know moro about the sea than the oldest man on the beach.
 Don't imagine because you can swim Q little that you are stronger than an ocean wave.
 Don't suppose because sharks and Her man Oclrichs can swim all day that you can swim an hour.
 Don't forget if you are really good Oftcner than poor ones.
 Don't imagine that tho swimming is better 800 yards from shore than it is just outside the breakers. It is not.
 Don't go in within two hours after cat ing. Swimming on n full stomach is of ten followed by cramps and drowning. Don't imagine that those who beg you not to go so far really admire you in their hearts. Their thought really is that you arc silly and oStCntatiouS.
 Don't take out beyond your depth any man, woman or child who cannot swim. You may risk your own life, but you ought not to risk anothcr's.
 Don't try to persuade weak swimmer to go out farther than is safe. Ridicule has made weak men risk and lose their lives. That sort of thing is too much like murder to be ploasant.-Now York World.

A SlRnder.

A clever woman, in the New Orleans Picayune, says that it has been whisper ed to her that there will be room ill the Woman's building, at the Atlanta fair, where any of the sex so minded may steal away and smoke cigarettes, and she follows up the story with talk against the evils of the weed for the feminine gender.
 That such story should exist at all is probably due to the ingenious brain of some newspaper space writer, and it has never occurred to the women interested in the Woman's building that there were women who might be addicted to the noxious weed. From the very in- ception of the enterprise the general trend of ideas for every department has been to make it thoroughly refined and womanly, and indeed the mere sugges- tion of cigarette smoking among women would horrify most of the members of the board beyond expression.

A Letter Indicates That They Have Lefh
 the Dangerous Country.
 PRINCETON, N. J., July s3.-Encourag- ing news of the Princeton geological ex- petition reached here in the form of two letters from Professor Hatcher, who is in charge of the party, written from Dubois, Wy, on July 15. A short time before the party left for the Wind river district Pro- lessor Hatcher said that no danger need be apprehended from Indians at Jackson Hole, for if necessary the route would be changed and that section be omitted from the tour.
 1t is thought here that this has been done, and that the lack of more recent news is accounted for by the inefficient means of communication along the route taken. But further word is awaited with some anxiety by relatives and friends of the party.
 PHILADELPHIA, July 23.-The appre- hension of friends of the students from this city was dispelled when the parents of L. Frederick Pease, a member of the party, received a postal card at their Germantown home, which read as follows:
 DUBOIS, Wy, July 14. Am going through to Yellowstone park, where we arrive Friday, and, cross ing the park, John Otheman and return to Chicago via Northern Pacific from Gin nabar, Mon. We will reach home about the same time as formerly expected Am very we'll, as are all. The mountains are covered with snow, and we have to cross through it. Don't worry about the Ban mock Indians troubles. They are 75 miles from here, but we are daily leaving them far behind. Goodby till Friday"

Glad to Know It.

Louis Armand, prince of Cont, was an i'll made little man, and was always absentmindcd. When it could be least expected, he would fall over his own walking stick. The folks ill the palace were so much accustomed to this in Louis XIII's time that they used always to say, when they heard anything fall, "It's nothing; only the Prince of Conti tumbling down. At a masked ball in Paris some one who had dressed himself like the Prince of Cnti and wore a hump on his back went and sat beside him. "Who are you, mask" asked the prince.

Good Form In Bicycling.

TLe form" of bicycling is beginning to be studied. Grooms on wheels must follow their mistresses as they did on horseback. It is probably only question of short time when the lady's maid will have to include wheeling with her other accomplishments to secure situ- ation. On the road the woman who wishes to ride Ia mode has to know a number of little things that are over looked by another woman, just as the smart set have code for riding and driving hat is as memorable as that they sl .I not eat with their knives or put SUB ;, :! oysters. Society insists on an upris, lit position, with of course no attempt at racing pace. It also frowns upon constant ringing of the bell-that will do for the vulgar herd who delight in noise. The well informed wheelwom- an keeps eye and ear alert and touches her bell rarely. She dresses daintily and inconspicuously-effa herself, in fact, as much ill this exercise as she does ill all public places. New York Times.

DURANT ON TRIAL.
Crowds That ThrOnged to See the Notorious
 Prisoner Were Disappointed.


 Prisoner Were Disappointed.
 SAN FRANCISCO, July 23.-The trial of Theodore Durant for the murder of Blanche Lamont in Emanuel Baptist church last April began here. Upon its conclusion he will be tried for the murder of Minnie Williams, committed in the same edifice. Tho sheriff avoided the crowds who waited around the courthouse to see the defendant. Durant was taken from his cell and driven from the jail to the city hall in an open buggy, accompa- nied by the chief jailer.
 Crowds waited for hours to sec the pris- oner, but all were disappointed. No one was admitted to the courtroom but attor. neys, witnesses and reporters. The attor- neys for the defense moved for change of venue, with the privilege of renewing the motion if it should be found impossi ble to secure an unbiased jury, or should such a state of feeling be developed as would make q fair trial impossible.
 In support of the motion Durant had a bulky affidavit containing all the articles published in local papers concerning Durant and connecting him with the Emanuel church murders. The reading consumed the entire day and will be re- stunned today.
 Durant's incarceration has made him paler, but he is stouter. During the pro- ceedings he displayed no feeling and little interest,

A BURGLAR FolLEp.
Watchman's Desperate Struggle In Store With a Thief.


 PHILADELPHIA, July y23.-Timothy Rob- inson (colorcd), aged 20 years, made a murderous assault upon Oliver s. Humes a salesman for Henry c. Ewing, decorator, 1908 Chestnut street, his motive being robbery. Robinson was porter in Mir. Ewing's establishments. A man passing Ewing's store was startled at seeing the bloody face of Humes through the plate glass door, which was locked. Summon ing help, the man broke the glass and learned from Humes the story of the as- sault.
 It is his duty to open the store and out line the work of the other employees. Mon- day morning, while he was in the office, Robinson, armed with a shovel crept up behind him and struck him repeatedly about the head and body with the weapon. When Humes became unconscious, Robin son took his keys and attempted to open the safe, which contained considerable cash.
 In his haste the would be robber broke the key in the lock. Rolled in his attempt to secure money, he made his escape from the building, leaving his bleeding victim unconscious on the floor. Humes is in the hospital, where the physicians pronounce his injuries serious. Mir. Ewing's resi- dence, where Hume slept, was also ran sacked from top to bottom.
