MOSES SAW 1T ALL
AND HE INTRODUCED AN ANTI
BLOOMER LAW.
An Iowa Preacher Quotes tho Ancient
Codes Providing for the Co.'S
tune of Ladies'.

Waterloo, Iowa, Sept. 1S.-Rev. G. f.
Scott, pastor of the First Methodist
church in this city, preached a sensa-
tional sermon last night against the
wearing of boomers He took as his
text that part of the law Of Moses
which declares that the woman who
weareth that which pertaineth to a
man is an abomination Of the Lord.
This law. he thought, was given then
because God could look down upon
the centuries and see the woman OF
to-day dressed In mems clothes. with
trousers. scant of cloth and tied with
string. bowling along on a wheel. an
abomination to God and to the infinite
disgust of man. The evils Of bloomers
he said. was that they tended to break
down the outward distinction between
woman and man. They caused women
to lose their modesty and compelled
men to lose their respect for women.
He thought the women who persisted
In aping masculinity in this way were
either old maids who did not hope to
marry or married women who act as
though their husbands realized they
had made a mistake on their wedding
day,

A BLACK FRIDAY.
Men Tumbied Over Ono Another In Wall
street Yesterday.

New York, Sept. 13.-Th!s day was an
exciting one. and for a time bid fair TO
be critical one In the financial world,
so that many feared that 1t might pass
into history as small edition of the
BLACK Friday" OF years ago. But to-
night the disturbing elements are better
understood and the outlook for the treas
ury and the maintenance of the gold re-
servo are comparatively clear. Uncer-
tainty as 20 the intention OF tho govern
ment bond syndicate TO maintain the re-
serve at the century mark and as to It's
ability to do so had disturbed tho mon
eyed interests increasingly throughout
the week.
A crisis was reached this morning
when the announcement was made that
the firm OF Lazard Freres, which Is a
member OF the bond syndicate, had en-
gagged ss.2iO,OD OF the gold for shipment.
This announcement naturally gave rise
to the impression that the syndicate had
withdrawn from its controlling position
behind the throne and It sent quotations
tumbling In Wall street. Before the af-
ternoon had passed. however. the city
banks had come 10 the aid Of the sub
treasury with deposits OF gold. made In
exchange for greenbacks. Explanations
had been made by the members OF che
syndicate that the firm which started the
panic. and quiet has been restored when
IN moneyed institutions closed their
doors for the day. The gold deposits
made by the banks will Offset the ship
ments tomorrow. The Hanover National
bank set the example with a deposit OF
$1,000 and the American Exchange Ma
tional bank also paid into the treasury
seOO.000 and the National Bank OF Com
merce followed suit with another 500. 600
The National City bank Is credited with
an intention OF depos.tlng $4,000 or dou-
BILE that amount. II Is said in banking
circles that the deposits OF gold by the
banks for greenbacks Will reach SOoo.-
OOo this week. The known shipments to
Europe tomorrow will make the total
amount for the week $4,000. the largest
weekly output on record except $4,000
IN one week last January.
The following statement was author
lied by the bond syndicate tonight: 'sThe
impression has been general that the
members Of the bond syndicate entered
Into an agreement with the United
States treasury TO maintain the siol OO0, =
90 reserve until Oct. |, prox.. and that
upon that date said obligation will
cease. Such !s not the case. The bond
syndicate fulfilled all rs obligations 20
the government in June last and has not
since been bound in any way 70 the trea-
sury. /. Is true = has from time 20 time
since last June paid over various sums IN
gold coin 70 the treasury, wh.ch have
sutiiced TO maintain the reserve. but Il
has done 70 voluntarily ana will continue
to do so In the same spirit and for the
same motive"

Chicago, Sept. ia special to a To-

and the result is sufficient to justify
the belief that President Cleveland Is
meditating seriously the possibility OF

the dispatch Is duo to a desire to recog-

an intention to be In a position TO en-

Certain branches OF the navy depart

Secretary Herbert. some of the officers

Philadelphia, Sept. 13.-Onc man has
found cure for the bloomer craze.
He was a shrewd vermonter and his
wife has been addicted to the bioomer

In vain has he coaxed. expostulated
and threatened. but his better half has

the hens. and when his wife returned
he called her to the barnyard.
''They look exactly as you do" he
said. ''only they are good deal more
graceful" You can depend upon 1t
there were some lively words for a
few moments. but the woman has not
worn boomers since. and. what Is
more. she declares she will never be

good remedy for other husbands to try

Detectives Are Watching Her.

San Francisco. Sept 13.-The prosecu-
tion On the trial OF Theodore Durrant
has thus far examined 20 witnesses
and has occupied two weeks in the
work. These are less than half the
number to be examined in its direct
case and the most important are yet

that the next four witnesses will take
Durrant and his alleged victim up to

probably take all of next week. Ever
