WHAT DRESSES TO TAKE ON A VISIT
t'rom Iarpcr's Round Tablc)

How much luggage you must take when
going on visit depends on the length of
the visit and the number of engagements
# will include. As a rule in our change
able climate you will need in going away
from home something thick and thin. \
trunk is great comfort, though one can
manage with a large bag or telescope,
while a mans suitcase lends itself finely
to the folding of a girl : gown.
With two or three pretty shirt-waists
and a nice skirt, a simple dress for
evenings and warm stuff costume of
serge or flannel for cool or rainy mornings.
a girl will be supplied for every needful
requirement. Ones own dainty home
wardrobe is sufficient for a visit, and if
the sailor be trim, the shoes and gloves in
order, and the girl carry herself grace
fully nobody will think second time
about her dress.
AS soon as possible after journey Law
aside your travelling dress, and make fresh
toilette before joining the family Try to
ascertain the family habits, and conform

Clothing Of tho Children and Ncllic's
Feet Fuund-Holmes Must Atone
the Murder of Pcitzel.

Toronto, July 17--Although it is known
that almost all the clothing of the muir
dered pictzel girls was burned, some ar
ticles of attire belonging to them were
stuffed into the chimney and into holes
around the house, No. 1G St. Vincent
street Some of that clothing has been
traced and the last link in the chain of
evidence against Holmes has been prac-
tically forged by that discovery. II was
discovered that the feet of Nellie were
missing and a search in the cellar reveal
ed them, and it iS now thought they were
amputated by Holmes for some reason.
All the preliminary steps have been taken
for the oXtradition of Holmes, should he
be charged with murder by the coroner.

WILL NOT GIVE Up HOLMES.

Philadelphia, July f7.-Dstrict Attorney
Graham this afternoon stated that Holmes
would not be surreudered to the Toronto
authorities. He said sufficient evidence
has been gathered to prove that the body
found in the Callowhill house in this city
was that of Pietzel and that Holmes would
be convicted of murder.
When brought before the district attor-
ney yesterday Holmes is said to have re-
marked, "Well / guess will have toswing
for this" but he quickly recovered him
self and spun several more fairy tales all
of which were set down as falsehoods. 1t
was said that Holmes made a full confess
sion, but this Lawyer Barlow denies. Mr..
Barlow to-day said
while the statements of Holmes added
nothing materially new to the case, we
secured certain data that will aid us in
continuing our investigation of the strange
affair.

A TASTE OF EUROPE.

1t has not been very long since the CALL,
in showing how cheaply one may live in
San Francisco, named specifically a num-
Der of places where excellent meals may
be had for 10 or Is cents, and described
in detail the dishes which are served for
that price. One very interesting feature of
the matter did not receive special atten-
ton in that article, and it is that the very
large number and great variety of foreign
ers in the City explains this most interest
ing phase of our City life. In no other
city in the world, thanks largely to the
presence of these foreigners, may one live
so well at so little cost.
Of course there are expensive restau-
rants conducted by foreigners. At the ex-
IRENE opposite end of these cooked-food
resources are the numerous little shops
kept by Americans, who are not res
taurateurs, but who keep on hand cooked
substantials of a wide variety, which are
bought and taken away, to be eaten at
home. As rule these delightful resorts
are kept by New England Yankees, and
are conducted by earnest, anxious-faced,

THE ORIGINAL MULVANEY,

Wherever the English language is read
and tales of romance find a welcome, Rud-
yard Kipling's genius has made the fame
of Private Mulvaney known. 1t is not
too much to say that Mulvaney is the
greatest creation of recent literature.
Though he figures only in short stories
his personality is as real and as vital as
that of any character presented in English
fiction. 1t is character, moreover, that
attracts the admiration and wins the abid-
ing sympathies of men. Had Kipling
written nothing except his Mulvaney
sketches, he would still hold high place
in the literature of the day, and would
have been accorded no small honor because
of the popular delight in the adventures
and the philosophy of that racy specimen
of the Irish soldier in India
1t will be regarded therefore as rare
treat to the lovers of romance and to the
readers of Kipling that the CALL presents
this morning an account of the original of
Mulvaney. 1t will also be matter of
pleasant surprise to find he is resident
of San Francisco. The true name of the
hero of those exquisite stories of life in the
East Indian army of Great Britain is Will
liam McManus. AS a corporal in the
British army he knew Kipling when that
brilliant story-writer was boy and fur
nished him with the materials out of
which the best of his romances have been
made. His real story is not inferior in in
terest to those which Kipling has told
about him, and our publication of it this
morning may be accounted as one of the
literary sensations of the day.

THE MERCANTILE LIBRARY.

The action OF the directors of the Mer-
camille Library on the proposition to con-
solldate that institution with the Free
Library was taken by majority suffi-
GENTLY large to make it decisive. There
will be no consolidation. The friends of
the Mercantile maybe feel assured that
the institution will be maintained in full
independence to supply the special re-
quirements of its patrons and to fulfill in
the intellectual life of the City the part it
has SO well filed in the past.
The debate upon the proposed consolida-
ton brought out statement of facts in
the highest degree encouraging to the
friends of the institution. So far from be-
ing clouded by gloomy prospects the situa-
ton of the library is much better now than
it has been for some time past. While it
has liabilities of $50, 900 it has assets valued
at about 100000. In addition to this,
Director Biglow stated that friends of the
institution had promised $4,000 to the
funds. He was also sanguine of a large
increase of members in the near future
and cited as fact justifying his expecta-
ton, that number of new subscribing
members had been added to the rolls last
month.
One of the most effective arguments
against consolidation is that the readers of
the Mercantile Library are different class
from those who patronize the Free Lii
brary. Their tastes are different, and
they call for different class of books It
is evident, therefore, they can be best
served by maintaining library devoted to
their particular requirements. There are
certainly enough people in San Francisco
to maintain in a fourishing condition a
library which fills the position of the Mer-
camille. 1t has grown up to its present
noble proportions because of the demand
for it, and with little cooperative energy
on the part of its friends there is no reason
why it should not continue to flourish and
increase Indefinitely.

THE WOMAN's CONGRESS.

The Woman's Congress has been the
principal feature of the week in San Fran
cisco. 1t has every day attracted crowds
that were limited only by the capacity of
the hall. These crowds, moreover, have
not been composed of mere curiosity.loyers
seeking a novel entertainment They
have been made up of earnest men and
women, who attended the congress either
from genuine sympathy with its objects
or from an intellectual desire to learn the
aims of progressive women and to estimate
the ability of their leaders to deal with the
broader problems of life
The attendance of such audiences I'M
doubleday excited the emulation of the
speakers and reused them to put forward
their best efforts. As consequence every
day of the congress was marked by more
than ordinary brilliancy of discourse. The
subjects which engaged the attention of
the speakers covered wide range and in
their entirety comprehended almost every
important problem of modern society. 1t
may be said of the congress, therefore,
with an almost literal truth, 'sthere was
nothing it did not touch, and it touched
nothing it did not adorn."
That our society will derive much bene-
tit from this assembly of intellectual
women and their earnest discussions of
great subjects, is certain. To doubt it
would be to doubt the ability of our men
and women of culture to acquire new ideas
or to profit by new suggestions. 1t is not
necessary to agree with all that was said at
the congress in order to recognize its value.
Much that was said would perhaps not re-
ceive the assent of the majority of dele
gates themselves. This does not detract,
however, from the substantial worth of the
work accomplished. The congress has
shown US how some of the difficult prob
lens that confront the world are seen by
intelligent women, and has given US sug-
gestions of how women seek to solve
them.
No one can gainsay that the view of
these problems presented in the congress
was essentially accurate, and that the So
lutions offered were full of promise. Out
of the discussions we may draw enlighten-
ment, not only upon those questions that
concern women mainly, but upon many
which are now regarded as distinctively
the affairs of men. To the members of the
congress, therefore, the press of the city
may well extend congratulations. If they
have not conciliated opponents they have
won the favor of the inn partial, the praise
of the iudicious and given encouragement
to their friends.

OUR EXCHANGES.

By reason of the cordial welcome and
hospitabIe entertainment given to the
visiting members of the Sacramento VAL
ley Newspaper League, the pleasant town
of Woodland is receiving an amount of
commentator which will make its attrac-
tons known all over the Pacific Coast and
to considerable extent in the East. The
praise given to the place, however, has not
been indiscriminate and thoughtless. The
editors met in Woodland to consider what
is needed to advance the welfare of the
valley and they studied that community
as an object lesson in the work they are
about to undertake. As a consequence
they found even in Woodland some condi-
tons that should be changed. The Dixon
