There Are Indications That 1t VIII

There Are Ind icatiODs That 1t VIII
Be Worn Later In the SEASON.
Women who study fashions in far
sighted way have prophesied for some time
that the days Of the hustle were about to re-
turn. says the New York World. They have
said that Organplaited backs presaged the
advent of the hustle, and that widely fla ring
skirts lined with stiffening would inevitably
lead to the readoptiun OF that clums ri icle
of attire which women gave up SO gladly a
few years ago..
Thelingerie department inthesi1ops would
seem to bear out this prophecy. The hustle
has made its reuppen rance there, tenta lively
far, but still with the air OF having come
to stay. 1t isnot otthemonstrousa article which
was banished when clinging skirts became
fashionable. 1t is rather small and is made
of haircIoth, sometimes black, sometimes
gray and sometimes white.
1t consists of three vertical puffs. which
look like the abbreviated lining to an orga n
plait skirt, and it is finished by frin of
haireletir. It's main object is to give the
skirt a start in the right direction. A
weIllfnetI skfft will flare at the bottom With
the aid of q very small hustle.
or COURSE, this slight reappearance OF the
hustle may be followed by a hustle revival
on large scale, which will ma Ike camel-like
humps once more the style. Doctors will
object violently to the re-introduction of the
hustle on the ground Of health, and art ists
will declaim against its use on the score of
beauty, but the medical and aesthetic world
may grow hoarse with anatheinas againsti it
before it will he discontinued If fashion once
says authoritatively that it must be worn.
Louis Seize and Marie Antoinette styles
both require more or less padding about the
hips. The panniers of the Louis Seize coats
and the stiff skirts Of the Marie Antoinette
period demand Some bouffancy, and this
is obtained only by padding or by hustle.

Proposed Tribute to War Correspondents.

Monuments and memorials of every de-
scription have been erected to commemo-
rate the deeds and services of the military
and naval heroes of the war between the
States At the Capital of the na ton, in
the different States and on battlefields
they have been reared. Now the happy
thought has occurred to Mr.. George Alfred
Townsend to build on the battlefield Of
South Mountain a monument in honor Of
the correspondents who accompanied the
armies of the union, and whose services
were in their way as valuable as those Of
many a doughty warrior.
Some of these correspondents themselves
bore arms in defense of the integrity OF
the union. Al, of them incurred hardships,
labored zealously and nearly always faith
fully, and the great public was under no
small obligations to them for their services.

Dunraven's Second Appearance.

Only ianguid interest attaches to the ar
rival of Lord Dunraven, who visits the
country to attempt the substantiation of his
charges That the Defender was juggled with
in her race with Valkyrie III: in the race for
the Americas cup. The fact is that, so far
as the American public is concerned, his
case is preiudged, for nobody for moment
believes that his accusations, duplicating
a number OF honorable men, contained one
scintiIla of truth.
Almost from the very beginning Of the
races from which be withdrew in so I'M
sportsinanlike a manner, Lord Dunrayen

He came firmly convinced that an easy vic

feat in the first race to make him dis

second race allayed his discontinue just
trifle, but not enough to make him risk a

Magistrate Kudlich, who is sitting In
jefferson Market court, received two let
ters yesterday. One of them, which was
from a woman, read:
Dear Sir-Kindly permit me TO state
few words in favor of American men who
are being sued by their wives or sweet
hearts.
Looked upon in the right light, a woman
VITO sues her husband or lover, for what
ever il may be, does not deserve respect nor
sympathy. The very fact that she sues
him clearly shows that she never loved him.

A true womanly woman IL she loved man

these cases does harm TO both sexes. Women

The other letter was from Il man who
evidently thinks he is a second Schlatter.

errors in their chronicles, but, taken all
in all, their work was marked by painstak-
ing labor and impartiality. A good part
Of it was cphemeral in the very nature Of
things, yet it is not to be doubted that
the historian may have found much valu-
able material in the columns of the news
papers to which these men contributed.
Mr.. Townsend has placed his project in
the hands Of a committee of which Gov
ernOr-elect Lowndes of Maryland is the
chairman, and Hon. Edward NJ MeaIy of
Hagerstown, Nd, the treasurer, and with
them are associated Some of the best known
newspaper men In the country. One thou
sand dollars has already been contributed
and the active workers in the profession
are expected to raise this to an amount
sufficient to carry the project into exc
cution.~ 1t need scarcely be doubted that
the monument will shortly be reared.

Curse OF Selling Liquor to Minors.

The stabbing of sixteen-year-old boy
by companion of about his own age while
both were intoxicated would seem to indi-
cate that the law against selling liquor to
minors lacks a great deal of being en-
forced as strictly as it should be. 1t is
not always possible, OF course, for bar
keepers to tell just whether young man
has reached his twenty-first year or not,
but he can have no difficulty in making
the distinction in the case OF boy who
has barely entered his teens.
Selling liquor to minors may work the
forfeiture of the saloonkeeper's license.
and. possibly, upon prosecution in the
police court. subject him to the imposition
of fine but neither OF these penalties is
commensurate with the offense, especially
when one considers that it may have such
tragic results as that referred TO above.

When the tariff and bond bills, which
will be reported from the Ways and Means
Committee today, shah have passed the
House, the debate on them in the Senate
may again make apparent the necessity
of changing the rules governing the trans
action of business in that body. Senator
Harris, for instance, is credited with de-
clarinS that no tariff bill shall pass the
Senate, as long as the voices of Demo
cratic Senators hold out. on the other
hand the silver Democrats in that body
are believed to be equally determined
in their opposition to a bond measure.
The worst OF these threats is that under
the rules and traditions" of the Senate
they are capable OF being made effective.
These rules set no limit to debate and while
1t is true that dangerous legislation has
many time been prevented by means of them
II is no less true that meritorious measures
have been talked TO death. The only
limit TO such a performance is the power
OF endurance of the opposing sides.

The money loss to the dealer in Consequence
OF being compelled to close his saloon, and
even the fine he may have to pay, do not
compensate for the possible ruin OF 4
young life, or the even more shocking
commission of homicide.
1t is well understood, OF course, that
no reputable saloon-keeper will dispense
liquor to minors, but unfortunately there
are enough that do not discriminate in this
respect, and If the police could get on their
tracks it would be good piece of work.
At the same time, however, the Commits
sioners should also give orders to the police
to proceed vigorously against the speak
easies south of the Avenue, where youths
can obtain intoxicants at all hours of the
day and night.
Some vigorous action is called for to
check the sale of liquor to minors.

race. although in that respect his boat was
no worse off than the Defender.
When Dunraven returned to England he
got what comfort he could from the com
miserating comments of the British press,
and in an evil moment formulated the
charges, the utterance of which Mr. C.
Oliver Iselin declared could only emanate
from "a liar and a blackguard." Even
the English newspapers were shocked. The
reputation of the men who were inter
ested in the Defender and OF the New York
Yacht Club was too far above suspicion
to make 1t possible that Dunraven's charges
could be anything but the outgrowth of
spite.
On this side the Indictment naturally
aroused deep Indignation, but this was
soon followed by profound disgust, and
at the present time the only interest at
tachng to the matter is to be found in the
general desire TO see Dunraveu's discom-
future made SO complete that he will
not be recognized again as entitled to the
respect of gentIemanly sports,nen.

What the Prince of Wales Thinks.

In response to a telegraphic inquiry ad-
dressed to them by the New York World,

succeeded by the same warm feeling of
friendship which has existed between them
for SO many years" Though the Prince
Of Wales, even as the heir apparent to the
English throne, is not a powerful factor
in the settlement of an international dis
pute, whether by force of arms or other
wise, yet his utterance is of value as proba
bly, Indicating the prevailing sentiment of
the conservative element of the people OF
England.
There is every reason why the present
crisis should he arranged in manner
satisfactory to both countries. There was
no reason whatever why it should have been
precipitated. No interest was involved

Police Spread Out Too Thin.

The capture OF three supposed cracksmen
in the city gives point to the recent warnings
of The Times that the criminal classes
throughout the country would regard the
weakening of the local police force as
affording them the opportunity for making
raid upon Washington. At the same
time it emphasizes the necessity for that
increase of the force upon which The Times
has insisted. The fact that a member of
the detective force could be set upon and
almost killed by gang of drunken toughs
in the immediate vicinity of Que of the
principal business streets and at time
when there were crowds of people about,
further shows how scan.ily our streets are

1t has been practically decided by Secre-
tary Herbert to q ward the contract for the
battleship Kearsarge and her unnamed

ing and Dry Dock Company, of Newport
News, Va, in accordance with the recon-
mendation Of the naval board of bureau
chiefs.
The lii Of the Virginia firm was Sc ,25O,-

the suggestion Of the board that the secre-
tary give the Union Iron Works, of San
Francisco, an opportunity OF securing the
contract for one of the ships by scaling
their bid was rejected by Mr.. Herbert on
account OF precedent established by
Secretary Tracy that bidders should be
allowed to scale down only when their
proposals came within 8 per cent. of the
bid Offered by the successful competitor.
The alternate proposition of members
OF the board that the Union Iron Works
and the Cramp Company, of Philadelphia,
be given an opportunity to secure two
ships each by an appropriation by Congress,
on the recommendation of the Secretary
Tor four more battleships, is said to be
