FAsHIoxs An THE pOoR

Fashion is an eccentric dame, bat her
eccentrcity has never taken the form of
partiality for the poor.
When hard times came she litera lIy
''spread herself" and the poverty OF the
workngmau's wife and daughter became
more than ever apparent.
Probably at DO tine since the Georgian
period has it cost so much to be in the
--style. or even to be considered ordinarily
well-dressed, as during the past year or so.
Not that there is any scarcity Of beau
tiful fabrics at reasonable prices; indeed,
the bargain counter" is boUntifully sup
piled with tasteful goods to an UNUSUAL
degree, as our advertising columns daily
show. The trouble is that the quantity of
material necessary in the making Of skirts
and sleeves is Beyond all reason.
Think Of a skirt-an ordinary skirt
measuring nine yards around the bottom
and pair Of sleeves consuming more than
would a year ago have made baby a
Dainty frock
One of the worst features OF the fashions
Bf 1895 is that no article cleft over from
last summer can be altered 90 look fresh or
up to date; for though, all women know,
d is comparatively easy 10 cut a thing
down, 1t is impossible 10 reverse the pro
cess and increase its size.

TRoLLEYs AND DISCRIMINATION.

Notwithstanding the aggressive attitude
Of the Commissioners and their apparent
intent TO compel the lexington Railway
Company 10 remove its overhead trolley, it
is doubtful if anything can be done before
Congress meets. The controversy is now
in the courts, and an appeal, should the
case be won by the Commits toner's, would
act as a stay OF proceedings and that is
what the lexington Company is fighting
for.
The deliberate way in which this cor
poration has violated The law is especially
aEgravating. For five years il has dallied
with Congress and on one pretense ard an
other succeeded in putting of tie time for
a change OF its motive power. Finally
when tie limit has been reached and the
law for the removal Of its poles goes into
force ii is found that the company has in
no way made an effort TO comply with the
requirements
There is TO use OF enacting laws unless
they can be enforced, nor should laws be
permitted TO discriminate. The overhead
trolley is much less expensive than other
modern styles Of street car motive power,
and if the lexington Company is allowed to
obStruct our streets with its poles the
same privilege should be granted other COM
panies.
II is good policy, however, in public af-
fairs, to enforce laws without fear or favor,
and to deal with corporations without
prejudice or discrimination

GIVE THEM A RoUSER.

The National Rifles drill team at St
Louis has justified the hope and faith Of
its friends by capturing two of the prizes
and enriching the company's treasury by
$1,000
This is all the more creditable, as the
preparation for the contest on the part of
the Rifles We're made at comparatively
short notice and the gallant soldiers them
selves went into the competition with
modesty and diffidence. Nor should it be
forgotten that it went hard with many
of the boys in camp by reason of adverse
climatic influences and only their deter
mination 10 do and dare kept them up.
The Rifles victorious contest ives
proof once more that when one OF Wash
ington's military companies goes for
glory and prizes il does not often get left.
Having laid another laurel wreath upon
the altar of local pride, theEeturning team
deserves proper reception in the honor of
which the Mount Pleasant Drum and Bugle

He Gailant1y Attacked the Enemy
and Captured Cannon.
Conspicuous among the trophies which
now adoTn the walls and brackets of the
Fourth precinct station-house is a minia
ture cannon. 1t is painted glaring yell
low, and, while ii does not look extremely
dangerous in itself, it shows what such a
cannon might be if it were several sizes
larger 1t is recent acquisition to the
stock of Fourth precinct relics, and is a
souvenir of Policeman Mohl and the Fourth
of July.
A few days before the Fourth an order
from the Major OF Police was read at all
the station-houses directing the men to
allow no Cannens TO be discharged in the
streets on the anniversary of the birth
OF liberty Policeman Mobl heard, and he
Kept his eyes peeled for cannons.
When the eventful day came round the
bold Teuton went on duty. Up and down
his beat he tramPed, but nowhere could
be see a cannon, until at last, as the
shades of evening were beginning TO fall
be Spied three or four small boys in a
group. They had cannon.
The policeman sa his opportunity He
would go close 10 those little boys, and
when he 'schmelt the schmoke" he would
sally forth and capture the gun Care
ecuted it.
He got behind n tree and watched The
cannon was loaded; the fuse was in; it
was lighted and the boys had retired to
a respectful distance There was a re-
port, but the policeman wasn't waiting
for report. But with the explosion there
came puff of smoke, and a gentle zephyr
waited it across the distended uostrils Of
Policeman MohI He waited for nothing
more, but with his club raised on high
he rushed wildly forth and seized that
cannon
When he went back to the station house
that evening he was proud policeman, and
his eyes glistened and his checks glowed
as he related to Lieutenant Vernon how
be had storined the battery and captured
the gun In the future the little yelIo w
cannon will occupy conspicuous place
in the Fourth precinct station house, and
will be dear to the hearts of Mr. Mohfs
brother policemen.

FAINTHEARTED REFoRMERS.
There is something especially humiliat-
ING m the way Mayor Strong and Commis-
sioner Roosevelt are apologizng for the
enforcement Of the excise law in New
York city. II is claimed 10y them that the
law is too stringent, that its enforcement
VIII make II obnoxious, and cause its re
peal. but that il is their duty 10 close the
saloons. even though they personally
would prefer a Sunday opening. Both
have gone SO far as to say that the law
should never have been placed on the
statutes
The day 0f martyrs has passed. and there
is no necessity for Mayor Strong and Com
miss ioner Roosevelt 10 sacrifice them
selves on the altar OF duty, provided they
are sincere in their apologies, Others
have filled the offices they hold without
going on record as drivelers, and both
should have adopted the same Official
policy OF have been manly enough TO have
faced public censure without flinching
Before entering upon the task Of enforcing
Teform they should have carefully con
sidered the consequences
The chances are that the law is right,
that ii should be- enforced, and that great
majority OF New York people are OF that
opinion Bat Mayor Strong and Commis-
siouer Roosevelt have come in conflict
with an element that has heretofore con
trolied New York politics, and, like most
other public men, they are try ing 10
curry favor by playing the sycophant
II is dIsCredltable, however, for men OF
their ability and regulations to stoop to
such deception, and in that lies the cause

SECURITY OF OCEAN TRAVEL.

If yoU want to live long 60 to sea. II
would almost seem that this Is pretty safe
advice. tor Gen Dumont, OF the steamboat
inspection service IS authority for the state
ment that there is only one life lost TO every
2.7Os, 1913 passengers carried. Inasmuch,
therefore. .astbedrath rateamong thosethat
remain on dry land is very much greater,
II follows that a seafaring existence con-
tributes greatly to longevity
Speaking seriously, however, The statis-
tics adduced BY Gen. Dumoui convey an as
Surance o. safety as regards steamboat
travel. which ought TO be very comforting
TO those nervous people who believe that
old ocean is a IavenOus monster with
everopenmaw. Asa matteroffact, travel
by steamboat is infinitely less dangerous
than journeying on railways The number
Of casualties is less. not as many lives are
lost, nor are there as many persons crippled
and MANNED ny steamboat disasters as
there are by railroad catastrophes
Two causes have contributed 10 make
steamboat travel more safe. One is the
wonderful improvement that has taken
/ place ia methods of construction, whereby
the chances of accident have been reduced
/ TO the minimum. There is, for instance,
/ as great a difference in the build, machin-
I cry, size and conveniences of our ocean
/ greyhound of the present day and the pas
s@nger steamboat of twenty-five years ago
as there is between a canal boat and first
/ class yacht With the constant advance Of
! constructive science it may be expected that
/ even greater perfection viii be attained in
4 the future
The other cause is the greater efficiency
/ of the inspection service. and Congress
should see TO IL that both in point OF suffi-
cheney of force and efficiency of hw it shall
/ keep pace with TIE rapidly increasing num-
/ Der of steam vessels
