REFORMER .TOS7Js FATE,

| The case of Henry Jost of St. Louis,
 Missouri, teaches several things. Among them is the fact that what is sauce for | the goose is not always sauce for the gander. MT. Jost is a reformer, that is, he was. What he is now he hardly
 knows He was especially interested in
 that great reform movement which aims, through the abolition of the big theatre hat, to elevate the moral tone
 of the people, to decrease profanity, to
 promote good temper, and to give peo-
 pie what they pay for when they buy
 tickets for a show. It struck MT. lost
 that good way to push along the
 movement would be by means of an ob- ject lesson. He went to a St. Louis the
 atre the other evening, paid $150 for
 seat, and found, as he had expected to
 find, big theatre hat In front of him.
 He calmly put his own high silk hat on
 his head in order to show that the beau
 teous being who sat in front of him and
 obscured his view of the stage was do-
 ing something that she ought not to do.
 He expected that those who sat behind
 him would see the point, and he didn't
 know but that appreciative applause
 would greet his effort. But he was neH-
 CT more mistaken in his life The peo-
 pie of St. Louis are thick, if they were
 fairly represented at the theatre that evening. They didn't break out into ap- preciative applause of MT. Jost's action, and they didn't see the point he so plainly and skillfully made. They treat ed him just as some other reformers who have overestimated the perception of their fellow beings have been treated They hissed and hooted, and requested hat" When he persisted in trying to impress them with the great truth that equal rights should prevail in a theatre l an usher bore down on him and told him that he must remove his hat or remove l himself from the theatre. He did neith- | CT, but continued to make an object les | son of himself in the hope that some | who were present might catch on. Then | a policeman was called in and both MT. | Jost and his hat were removed from the | theatre, and MT. lost had to pay $5 the next morning for disturbing the peace. The beauteous being who sat in front of him had no trouble on account of her nat, she didn't even realize that MT. Jost was trying to illustrate her, and she ,nly regretted that she had had the mis- fortune to be seated near such a nasty, horrid man.
 One conspicuous moral there appears to be to this tale is that reformer would do well not to give object lessons unless he has reason to believe that hose whom he is trying to teach can them, It Is pity that with l bill now in the Missouri legislature to lbolish the big theatre hat the point made by MT. Jost in St. Louis was not teen. If anybody had thought to make t in a New Haven theatre the result would have been very different. He would have received unbounded ap- ,lause, and the fair-minded audience would have seen no difference in offense between his high hat and the high hats f beauteous beings

An attractive feature of the Cotton States and International exposition, to be held at Atlanta, Georgia, next Sep tember, will be the reproduction of the Worlds Columbian exposition in min iature by G. W. Ferris, the builder of the Ferris wheel. The great worlds fair will be reproduced in it's entirety, complete in every detail, on scale of 1-14Oth. This makes the Manufactures and Liberal Arts building about ten feet long, and the whole exposition about seventy-fve feet long. Search lights will be shown on the battle ship and the various buildings, the intramural railway will be seen with cars in mo- tion, the whaleback steamer will be seen arriving and departing, and Lake Michigan will appear in the distance. By electrical and mechanical effects sunrise, daylight, moonrise and the White City by moonlight will appear in succession.

tween the gores. The jacket bodice has | a fitted vest fastening at the sides that Is ornamented with bias folds, and the loose fronts turn back in revers and fancy collar faced with crape. The sleeves are made entirely of crape over fitted lining and all bodice seams are strapped. Heavy lustreless black silk lines the entire costume, which is an extremely dressy one
 Ordinary veils, not the mourning sort, are now worn smoothly over the face and the creasing and folding lit tie while ago so popular is all gone by. Women are at least recognizing the fact that the veil all wrlnkled up and down was aging to any face and com plete ruination to a good many. If there are wrinkles made, they are all across now, the veil being drawn in at the top only enough to make 1t catch at the brim of the hat. Black veils only are worn. The border may be white or sometimes dots or markings of a color appear at the border, but the fashion for spreading a colored net over the face is happily bygone. The only veil admissible beside black Is brown to match costume or white for even ing wear.
 A few made" veils are being shown with insertion at the edge of thread lace or even Of narrow ribbon. but they look prettier at the counter than they do when worn. The emphasis of the border is likely to give heaviness to the face. It is only when veil is worn in the old fashioned "curtain" way at the edge of a brim of big hat and well away from the face at the chin, that border or a heavy pattern can be risked. Made veils of chiffon-like ma terials are finished at the edge with a tiny puffing of cream chiffon.

Twenty years ago the persons of the emperor and empress of Japan were sacred; they were seen by no one save high court officials, and even to these the emperor's face must be yelled. The empress now visits the free hospitals of Tolsio, and talks or gives presents to the patients as freely as in any western land.

FASHION NOTES.
Mourning stylishly.

Anything like jauntiness is, of course not permissible in mourning costumes, but, on the other hand, it is very deslr- ale to avoid an appearance of dowdi- ness, which the sombre garments too often bring For young women this ap- plies with especial strength, and it IS for such that the pictured mourning dress is designed. Made of heavy crepe cloth and crape, the skirt is gored and laid in organ pipe folds in the back

The dredging for the great east coast canal in Florida is now being rapidly pushed. The waterway is to begin at St. Augustine and end at Biscayne bay in the far south From St. Angus tine the route is down the Matanzas river across eight miles of land to Smiths creek, thence into the Hills boro river, down that stream to the haul-over, which has been dredged, then into the Indian river, through it's entire length to Lake Worth, through the lake to the southern end, thence inland to New river, and from New river, which is mere stream, to Biscayne bay. Owing to the length of the so-called Indian river and the laying of the route through Lake Worth and three tidal rivers, there is comparatively lit- tie dredging to be done, and that for the most part through marshland. The two enormous dredges in use push ahead about 125 feet day. They have

A bill has been introduced in congress providing that next year and every al- ternate year thereafter one cadet shall be appointed to the West Point military academy from every odd-numbered reg iment and cadet from each even num- bered regiment, and from the engineers battalion on the intervening years. There are now forty regiments altogeth- CT, so that twenty cadets would be ap pointed under this system every other year and twenty-one cadets, including the one from the battalion of engineers, the alternate year. If the bill should become law, the plan proposed would take the place of the present system by which certain number of enlisted men are each year appointed to second 1ieutenancies.

WITH THE WHIP.
He FlicLxed the Revolver From the Stsgs


He Flicked the Revolver From the Stage
Robbers Hand.
'"There is quite difference between
staging in the early days of the state
and now" said William Miller, the
owner of the stage line running from
Cazadero to Ukiah, to a San Francisco
Call man.
"When / came here from Boston in
1854, drifted about bit, and finally
went into the service of Charles Nc
Laughlin, the man who was afterward
killed by Jerome Cox. He was the
owner of the longest stage line at that
time It ran with relays from San
Jose to Los Angeles.
Il remember once, in lonely coast
range canyon, through which the road
wound, we had little experience that
was thrilling for the moment. It was
about ten o'clock and a moonlight
night. I was just putting the horses
through. The stage was full of pas
sengers, and there was a heavy treasure
box.
Just as got around bend in the
road I saw the figure of a man on
horseback standing by the side of the
road. He yelled to stop, and ] saw
gun barrel CLEAN in the moonlight
The horses were going at speed that
might be called breakneck, and | just
made up my mind to take the chances
of getting through. I saw the gun
raised to the fellows shoulder as we
approached. [ had my long whip in
my hand, and with desperation born
of peril of the moment | made vicious
swipe at him.
II don't know how it occurred but
the lash wound itself around the gun,
and as we dashed by the whip was
drawn taut, and / knew it had caught
SO held fast. I was nearly pulled out
of my seat, but the gun was dragged
from the robbers hand and fell to the
ground, at the same time it was dis
charged by the shock. It ratified along
the road for quite distance before the
whip1ash unwound itself. I don't know
what the highwayman thought, but
I'll bet he was surprised"

STOPPED SMOKING TO SAVE.

But the Procedure Didn't Pan Out as
Profitably as lie Had Expected.
Xerxes Jones determined to quit
smoking, says the Philadelphia Call
not, you know, that it had any baneful
influence upon his health, but solely
for the reason that he didn't feel iusti-
fed in spending twenty-five cents a
day for the weedy luxury. Jones had
a good disposition and began his new
scheme on Sunday.
Seeing I've quit smoking, I'll put
an extra quarter in the collection box
to-day" he unused, and in the money
went.
Monday. just TO please his little wife,
good Jones bought a forty-cent box Of
mixtures and handed it over with the
remark: mo, my dear, it's no extrav-
agance. Just about what I saved on
cigars to-day, and we both can enjoy
this after tea" Tuesday Jones bought
a fifty-cent toy for his little boy out OF
the cash saved by abstinence from to-
bacco. Wednesday he changed his
dining place down town from TWEEN
ty-fve-cent to a fifty-cent table d'hote,
feeling justified in spending the extra
quarter saved on cigars.
Apparently forgetting this Thurs
day, the reformer remarked TO himself:
'"There's that new umbrella my wife's
been talking about. III buy that and
charge it up to two weeks savings on
smoke" Friday new dinner set was
purchased to please the wife of his
heart, and set over against twenty
weeks savings from tobacco, and Sat
urday Xerxes Jones spent twenty-five
cents sor cigars, having lost six days OF
his luxury, and figured up that he
had saved on the wrong side of his
books just about thirty-eight dollars
nd ninty cents.
