TO TIE WOMEN OF SOUTH CARO-
LIMA,

Mrs. Andrew Simonds, Chairman Women's
Commission.
In view of the fact that we have
accepted as q state Atlanta's cordial
invitation to be present at her great
Cotton States Exposition, it now be-
hooyes rs to see that we 60 properly
capsrisoned and make a creditable
display.
Taere is no longer any doubt as to
whether South Carolina will be there.
That question has been definitely
settled. We will be there in friendly
competition with all the other States
Of the Union. That we have no ap-
preparation from our Government,
necessitates the greatest personal efforts
on our own part, and especially on the
part of the women who are to be rep
resented by separate exhibit Of their
cwn in the Women's Building. Owing
to tho personal good favor of the
president of the Women's Board thi.
room is in the most conspicuous and
important position. It remains with
us to make it either an object of just
pride for the whole State, or but we
will not contemplate the possibility Of
failure, as We do not recognize it.
The time, however, is growing very
short between now and the hour of
our trial. have therefore judged it
Necessary as chairman of the Woman's
Commission for South Carolina, to
write this appeal myself, to every
woman in The State, and to personally
entreat all those whose eyes may read
these lines to do what they can toward
The much desired result-lhat Of show
ing that South Carolina, if she has had
perforce to drop behind in the march
of progress, is not behind in brain,
spirit and energy, ths three essentials
Of success.
In the Worlds Fair at Chicago the
attention Of Americans was 10 great
extent turned aside from their own
exhibits to the magnificent foreign dis
plays, but in this Southern Exposition
The direct gaze of the North, East and
West will be directed towards the
southern and Gotten states. We are
one of these ShaIl We stand a-hamed
among our sisters? Let US then bestir
Ourselves in earnest.
Through the proceeds Of one ent r
tsinuent which have iu-t given and
, private subscription we have now a
little oyer thousand dollars in the
Exchequer. We should have four
thousand to make an exhibit of which
we may feel proud and that is worthy
of US. Most of the other Southern
States have more than this for their
woman's department. Charleston cul-
tributes one thousand from one enter
ta;nment alone-cannot the other parts
of the State laise the rest? Bazaars,
fairs, picnics-sll sorts of spring and
summer festivities might be made into
meney-making affairs for the States
goods cause important now above
all others we will have time to bene-
fit our hospitals, churches, etc. after
wards.-when the good the whole
State will derive from a fine exhibit
in each department will Undue us all
with new ardor to work for cur
charities.
ssAs for the articles to te exhibited,

gardless of political parties. lie was
once prominent in The Republican
party, but. finally became convinced
that the tariff reform policy of Presi-

associates in the Cabinet seem to have
been warmly attached to him as man

Still on Top.

The story as to how Joe j. Vim.
bush, the negro detective, represented
to Sheriff Williams, Of kershaw
county, that he was an escaped convict
from the Georgia chain gang, for
whom there was a reward, and got
himself carried back'to Georgia at the
expense of the sheriff, emily to be
turned loose as soon as it developed
that he was lying, has already been
told. There is q sequel to the story.
Sheriff Williams became very much
wrought up at being oatwitted by
the negro, and procuring requisition
papers, had Wimbush arrested again
with a view to bringing him back to
South Carolina. WimbuSh fought the
application for reouisition, and the
case went before Governor Atkinson.
1t seems that under the laws Of Geor-
gis in regard to such matters, copy
of the warrant Of arrest must be at
tached TO the requisition papers.
Sheriff Williams had the original war
rant attached instead of copy. Gov
ernor Atkinson decided that the papers
were defective, and Wimbush was
turned loose. Sheriff Williams may
"go aud came again.

her daughter and hel husband had on a
pair of black satin boomers made very
full. and which Tapped about in ludicrous
fashion during the square dances. The
daughter, a pretty, slim girl with light
hair and brown eyes. evidently had her
own ideas about what constituted the
proper costume. 1t was made of russell
brown corduroy, the boomers of medium
dimensions and coat with f1arlng
skirts, and leggings and shoes. OF the
same color.
The girl5 in the white and black cos
tune and the big woman with the scsrlst
waistcoat danced very little. Perhaps
the tight leggings of the one and the
tight knickerbockers of the other had
something to do with this, or it may have
been due to a mutual thought that they
showed off to better effect marching
around than In dancing.
There were but dozen mum bers on the
dancing card and before midnight the
last one was over. No unseemly levity
marked the night. in fact the ever pres
ent bloomer seemed to act as a restraint.
When the young women sat down after q
dance one and all tucked their feet as far
under the chairs as they possibly could,
thus reducing to minimum the expos
ure of lsggings. The only exceptions
were the two women in the startling cos
tunes. They took advantage of the clear
floor to promenade their glories before
the gaze OF the others.
1t may not be at all to the liking OF the
new woman to say it, but the bloumel
ball was not nearly as pretty to look a.
as the conventional kind where the wo
men are gowned in dainty frocks of varie
gated hue. Terpsichore's eyes would have
filled with tears at the spectacle of de
generacy in the bswildering art. worked
by extreme civilization. The bloome
seems destined to conquer in many fields
but the artistic, and lovers of the beau
tiful will put up va liant fight before i
masters the ball room.

the Four Hundred.

they wear bloomers while wheeling, and
exceedingly small clothes while bathing.

Just at the present. the kings and

Of society cannot tolerate the idea of a
bIoomer bali. How long this state of
mind will hold Its own against the on
ward rush OF the much-discussed gar
ments is question which time alone can
decide.
But the bloomer ball of the present is a
very interesting event and we'll worthy
she attention of any one who Is in po-
sition to take in the spectacle. Already
there are different grades of this new So
ciety function. Coney island has, with
its accustomed voracity in dealing with
new ideas, been the scene of several
dances in which gaudy and cheap imita-
tions of the bloomerte were brazenly
conspicuous. The affair 1t Coney island
is one phase OF the craze, while the New
York affair is quite another.
1T was my good fortune to attend the
first boomer dance given in New York.
Like other affairs of the kind 1t was
strictly understood that all dancers must
wear bloomers or knick bockers. 1 was

The bloomer ball has hit the metropo-
lis. 1t has been long time coming this
way. but now that it is here, it has a
solid, substantial look indicating psrma-
nency. Cities. towns and villages of brief
ancestry in other parts of the land have
jumped into the whirlpool of fame at one
bound by holding a bloomer ball. And
while New York has been slower than
her younger and smaller sisters, she has
put the final polish and veneer upon the
innovation, elevating it to standard
both artistic and elaborate.

freedom, or gretssque glory, the upper

to trust it before the criticising gaze OF
the outside world.
The bloomers we're made OF piack

They were more graceful than are the
average bloomers, but the masterpiece OF
the costume was the leggings. These
were of white kid and fitted the leg as
snuglv as kid glove fits the hand. A

ankle to the knee were the fasteners, ana

1T MAY COVER A MILE IN ONE MINUTE

In propelling the ordinary safety BIZ
cycle the riders feet travel in a circle
over forty inches in circumference and
transmit power only about one-third of
the circle, merely riding the pedals the
remainder. The latest invention. called
the spider, is propelled by levers fifteen
inches long. having an up and down
stroke of fourteen inches; hence the rid.
ers feet travel only twenty-eight inches
and transmit power about two.thirds of
the stroke. The construction of the ped
ais enables the rider to pull as we'll as
push, increasing the power nearly 100 per
cent. This is impossi Die with any other
gearing.
The driving levers are more than twice
as long as the ordinary bicycle cranks,
and the rider can propel a wheel geared
to 100 inches with as little, OF less, mus
cular exertion than an ordinary wheel
geared to sixty-eight. The inventor
claims a mile in sixty seconds, or even
less is possible.
Narrow tread is demanded by up-to-
date wheelmen, and on this whael the
tread is only three inches. The feet are
directly over the levers and not at the
side, as the ordinary cranks. The TRAN
gular frame is simpler, stronger, and
lighter than the present style of frame.
The saddle is fixed in position, the ad-
justment to suit the rider being made by
raising and lowering the large gear
wheels at thsir connection with the frame.
The stroke is also adjustable to any
length desired. The handle bars slide
up and down in the fork sides, which
are round, for about five inches, and are
fastened in any desired position by hex
| agon taper nuts. A pneumatic spring
| is provided in the handle bars to lessen
the vibration which benumbs the arms
and wrists OF riders who bear heavily or
the grips. The teeth of the gear wheels
are ingeniously covered, which, renoers

A SUBSTITUTE FOR THE PNEUMATIC

MIR. J. J. Ring OF this city has made
application for patent on spring actu-
ated wheel tire for bicycles, which he al
leges will be superior to a pneumatic in
riding qualities, in addition to obviat-
ing the occurrence of punctures. The fol-
lowing is a brief description of the in
vention: spring actuated tire composed
OF light metal fastened to the spokes; a
series of rs" shaped fattened steel
springs, IA inches hish. resting upon the
rim; eacn spring extending over four
spokes and being held firmly in place by
every fifth spoke being somewhat longer
than the others and extending through
this rim and springs where they are
bolted. Above and encircling these
springs and fastened to them is steel
rim, fiat and thin. of the same width as
the springs-about one inch-which forms
the actual riding surface.
This mechanism. VIII ich will be about
1 4 inches high, will be covered by strip
OF rubber of the same material as pneu-
matte tires which will serve the double
purpose of preventing the lodging in the
springs of any foreign substance detri-
mental to their free operation. and which
also furnishes resilient surface in con-
junction to the continuous and gradual
expansion and depression of the springs.
The springs are aoout seven inches in
length. and there will be eight OF them
in a 2S.inch wheel and seven in a 26-inoh
wheel, with about ~ inches space be-
tween each spring.
To reduce the weight the springs will
be ''skeletoned" that is, the surplus metal
will be cut out of the center of the
straight portions or the top, center and
bottom of the springs, Leaving only suffi-
cient material at either end for fastening
purposes and at the curves for necessary
strength. The length OF the springs
permits them to easily adapt themselves
to any irreguarity or undulation in the
road to be Travelled over while the fexi-
bjlity of the upper (surfsce) rim, in ad.
natural expansion ard compression of the
springs makes 1t a tire that will prevent
jolts, Jars and thumps even when striking
obstacles.
1t is easy to repair, as the rubber can be
removed and the springs taken from the
rim and easily replaced. Not depending
upon a volume of air for the necessary
resiliency. punctures cnt no figure in this
tire and ''laying up" for repairs will be
q thing of the past.
In addition to this paramount claim
the continuous expansions of the series OF
springs acts as a powerful propelling force
on the already revolving wheel and greatly
adds to the speed while decreasing the
power necessary to propel. thus lessening
the amount of force and consequently the
iaDur and eAerton required SC pedal. -
The weight will be IN excess OF that of
u pneumatic.
