CONSIDERS THEM UGLY.
Miss Ada Sweets Opinion of Bloomera
and BIoomer Girls.

anu bloOncT
"Bloomers are SO ugly and unbecom-
ing" said Miss Ada c. Sweet, ex- United
States pension agent at Chicago and
one of the leading spirits in all move
ments for the advancement of women,
to Chicago Tribune reporter, "that
am sure in short time women will
cease to wear them; thus the bloomer
question will settle itself. Neither
boomers nor knickerbockers for me,
and l think the latter are as unbecom-
ing to men as to women, The most
sensible costume to my mind is a mod
erately short skirt worn over knicker-
boclsers and a comfortable waist and
hat. Everyone should suit themselves
as to the length of their skirts. Any
immodesty may be prevented by the use
OF gaiters. If the skirt is short, long
CATERS should be worn; If it is good
length, shorter ones will suffice. At
all events boomers are unmitigatedly
ugly. l never saw woman yet they
were becoming to. Then these baggy
sleeves one sees are as unbecoming as
the baggy trousers. A reasonably full
sleeve looks well, but the loose, foppy
sleeves added to the bloomer costume
make perfect spectacle of the woman
wearing them" Miss Sweet laughed
heartily when asked if she thought the
morality of the community was affected
by the bloomer costume.
Certainly not" said she, and then
she added: ut don't affect mine.'
mo, but how about the people wear
ing the boomers ?" was the next ques-
ton.
II am sure it doesn't affect theirs
either. don't see how anyone's dress
could affect their moral character.
Dress is the index of character; in fact,
an outgrowth of the character, but
dress does mot affect character. A

The silver blade. (Rathdrum, Idaho) 1895-1903, 1895-11-23

In glancing over the columns of the
Messenger, published at Mlnersvllle,
Pa, we we noticed the following let
ter written by prominent resident
of Occur d'Alane City, whose home
was formerly at Minersville. The let
ter expresses a patriotic feeling that
every one true to the Stars and Stripes
should possess:
"Hurrah for Quay, Cameron and the
free coinage of silver, Is to i, the
''dollar" Of our daddies and the poor
mans money. We turned the En-
glish Shylock under in 1915, and again
in 1872, and to preserve our homes
from the pressure of the English gold
bug we will, as American freemen,
have to repeat the operation in 1896,
by voting at the polls for those who
are in favor Of the free and unlimited
coinage Of silver at the ratio of 16 to
l, regardless of what England or any
foreign nation may say or do.
''The dear people of my beloved ma
tive state should consult Coins FL
nancial SCHOOL, and the Tale Of Two
Nations and get enlightened on the
monetary question. 1t will also open
their eyes to the crime committed in
1873, whereby the poor were made
poorer and the rich richer.
Praying that the great American
people will in due time deliver them
selves from the dictates of all foreign
nations and on any subject whatever,
l have the honor to be,
Very respectfully,

The ONLY CERTAIN ROAD TO PROS
PERITY: BIMETALLIsM.

In another column will be found
the report of the grand jury. That
body adjourned yesterday after having
been in session just five days, during
which time they disposed Of large
amount Of business and in manner
that places them on record as men of
brains and good Judgment. Their re-
port is worthy the careful perusal and
consideration of every Taxpayer IN the
county, and should win for the sixteen
men who have attached their sigma
lures, the admiration and respect Of
all right thinking people. All bust
ness coming before them received due
consideration, and everything was dis
posed Of strictly according to merits.
They had the stamina to rely on their
Judgment and the courage to say what
they believed was right. All trifling
matters were disposed Of without any
further expense to the county. which
is record that was never equaled by
similar body in the history of Koote-
mai county. Not only do they recon-
mend that expenses can and should be
reduced in the justice courts of the
county, but they have set an example
we'll worthy Of emulation. The vol
ume Of business transacted by them
was equal to or even greater than
which ever came before a similar body
IN this county, but the total cost of
this work to the county does not more
than half equal the expense of the
cheapest grand jury this county has
ever had. The total expense of this
grand jury, including sheriff and wit
ness fees, mileage, ETC., is only lit
tie over 5000. Gentlemen of the grand
jury, you deserve credit for your very
cOmmendable work.

not wish an aristocracy endowed with
the same special privileges that that
class have in some old countries, some
means should be devised whereby such
and similar proceedings could be
checked.
The day is past when it is necessa-
ry for the business man to stand in
the door Of his shop and call his wares.
The newspaper furnishes far better
means for making known what line of
goods he carries, while by its use his
voice is preserved in all it's pristine
sweetness, and yet his business is pro-
claimed in every nook and corner of
the land. Elk.

ONE of the reasons given for not
coming silver doollars, is that they
are too big for use, says the Western
Mining World. We have our opinion
OF the person who would prefer a dir
ty, greasy piece Of paper that has pass
ed through all manner of hands to
bright silver dollar. A silver dollar
Is one of the incest coins in the world.
The only objection raised to them is
because OF their scarcity. That's
the only fault we ever found with the
silver dollar, and venture to say that
its size might be increased great
deal before we should notice it.-Ed. !

A Horrible Crime and ATTEMPTED
Murder between Gorham and
Berlin. The Brute Caught
near Island Pond.

On Friday evening last a man BIZ the
name Of Levasseau living At Gorham
upper village, procured team AZ the
Eagle Hotel, and went up To Berlin pre-.
tending TO hire a girl TO work for his
vie. After trying at several places he
finally secured Young girl by the name
OF Marie Dion, whose mother : widow.
and the family are very respectable
They started at about half past seven
and drove about three miles when the
man turned up a side road leading across
the Grand Trunk railroad track TO a
stone quarry, quite a distance nom the
main road. There it is understood he
took the girl out of the wagon. aud after
a severe struggle. and beating the girl,
succeeded in committing a nameless and
brutal crime, after which he took quite a
large stone and beat her about the head
and left her apparently dead. How long
she remained inseusible she does NOT
know, but some time in the night she re-
covered partial consciousness and began
to wander, she knew not where; but at
about O'Clock in the morning she came
out at \. Blodgett's. at the Cascade
bridge, and they took her in in a fright
tul condition, her head. face and clothes
all bloody, clothes torn, and unable to
tell the details at first. Mr. Rlodgett
sent to Berlin for a police officer and
doctor. Chief of Police Lambert, Editor
". A. Boothby and DR.. {. H. Bowker
went down Immediately. The doctor
after dressing her wounds temporarily,
concluded that she could be taken home
to Berlin. Then Mr.. Boothby and DR..
Bowker went directly to the scene of the
crime and saw evidences of a struggle,
and found tracks and blood on the snow
around there for quite a distance and
also found a stone with blood and hair
upon 1t, evidently the one used in the
murderous attempt. 1t is now in the
possession of Prosecuting Attorney Goss,
The shock to the girl is very severe and
vet the physicians think with studious
care that she will recover. Had the Grim
inal been caught on Saturday and
brought to Berlin, the Indignation of the
public was at such fever heat, that it is
feared he would have been taken from
the officers and hung to a tree. Nothing
of late date has stirred the blood of the
people there for long time Levasseau
was traced to Island Pond, The formerly

strange to relate the topic of CONVERSE
ton was the horrible crime, the parties
little realizing the would be assassin was
in their presence. Later their suspicious
were aroused, but in the meantime the
man disappeared. Vigorous search was
made for him all night, but without
avail, and on Tuesday morning he was
caught by Con Fitzpatrick OF Island Pond
and deputy sheriff Moves OF Berlin be-
tween Lake and Norton. He waived all
tormahtics, and accompanied the officer
back TO New Hampshire, where he will
doubtless meet with his just deserts.
