She Lectures at Philadelphia-WOn't Dis
cuss Charges Against Her.
PHILADELPHIA, March 5.-Lady Henry
Somerset who lectures here tonight
under the auspices of the w. G. Z. T.,
refused to discuss the charges made
against her by Secretary Hicks of the
single tax congress. Being asked what
induced her to first come to America, she
said it was a desire "to act in the living
present" 1t has been my lot in life,'' she
said, "to visit many countries and to revel
in the beauties that art has accumulated
and the treasures stored by centuries; to
stand in places built by the great dead;
to linger on the spot where
Charlemagne knelt where Dante
walked or Virgil sung, but when
1 crossed the great Atlantic ocean
and landed on the shores of the new
world, whose portals are kept by the
figure of liberty she holds so dear, I felt
within me that which made me say, The
living, the living shall praise thee The
whole of that great world pulsates with
the larger hope, and that optimistic spirit
seems breathed into its philanthrophy,
for the air is filed with the presence of
regeneration and reform"
Lady Henry's son has gone on trip to
Jamaica and Central America, accom-
panied by Richard Harding Davis, the
author, and Clement Griscom, son of the
president of the American steamship
line. He will return in time to sail for
England with his mother this month.

on TO C1eanso tllo Face.

Oil, not water, should be used when
you really want to clean your face
Learn a lesson from the actresses If
an actress tried to wash with soap and
water her nightly makeup from her
face she would have no skin to speak of
left in week, to say nothing about a
complexion. She never makes any such
mistake. She removes her makeup with
oil, usually and preferably cocoa oil.
And she learns by experience to do the
same thing when she wants to get rid
of the CRIME of travel Oil cleans the
skin more thoroughly than soap and
water, as you can thoroughly demon
strate after a journey or any such soil
ing experience. If you don't mind the
abuse of your skin for once, just wash
your face after the old fashion, as well
as you can; then cover it with oil and
remove the oil with soft cloth One
look at the cloth will prove that the
soar and water did not get it clean.

THE FIRST LONG DRESS.

Most Important Event In the History of
a GtrPs Life.
1t is momentous day in the history
OF girls life when she puts on her
first long dress. It is a much more i'm
portant event than the putting on of
his first pair of long trousers by a boy,
for the boy is a boy still for some
years afterwards, but from the time the
girl dons her first real long dress she is
regarded as woman
She may have worn dresses that
reached almost down to her shoe tops,
but they were as youthful in appear
ance as the long dresses which she
wore in babyhood. But when an even
al-round skirt is changed to the dra-
perry of the dress worn by grown
women, then we have no longer young
girl, but young lady, pure and simple.
Many girls. anxious to be thought
young women, are in too great hurry to
put on these sweeping gowns, and don
them too soon In after years they
will regret their hurry, for it is
strange, but true, that a girls age is
reckoned by her friends from the time
she puts on her first real long dress.
This style necessarily makes a change
in her demeanor.
No matter how coltish and young
she may feel, the long breadths of
cloth put a, stop to the frislziness of the
days of short skirts. 1t is only natural,
therefore, that a new department
should follow the advent of the length
ened skirt.
When the long dress comes the hair
undergoes a change, but a different
change from that which takes place in
the skirt. 1t is taken up high on the
head, and the result is that a stranger
would be at a loss to tell whether the
little girl of the day before was now
seventeen or twenty years of age.
Girls, don't be in hurry to put on
long dresses. Think of the years dur
ing which you viii have to wear them.
Some time in the future you will look
back with regret to the free and happy
days of your girlhood, and will wonder
how you could have been in hurry to
leave them for the cares of woman
hood.
Don't be in hurry to abandon your
dolls and go into society. Cherish the
days of your youth. If you are, as
Longfellow puts it:
Standing, with reluctant feet,
Where the brook and river meet
Woman1,ood and childhood feet
don't be anxious to plunge into the
river, whose mighty torrent sweeps all
before it, bat linger by the side OF the
babbling brook, whose music brings
joy to a1l.-Mabe1 Rich, in Golden Days.

GOULDs. MINDS CHANGE.
They Finally Decide to Have q Second
Marriage Ceremony.

They Finally Decide to Have q Second
Marriage Ceremony.
NEW YORK, March 5-No arrange
ments seem to have been made by the
Goulds' for civil wedding previous to
yesterday. In fact, the matter had been
discussed, and it had been decided not to
have a civil ceremony. The decision
was made nearly two hours after the re-
ligious services had been concluded by
Archbishop Corrigan.
At 2 p. m George Gould telephoned to
his attorney, Julien T. Davies, of No 81
Wall street, saying in effect:
1--WE have decided to have a civil mar
rage. Go Immediately to the court
house and ask judge to come up pre-
pared to perform marriage ceremony"
This message caused great excitement
in the law Office. 1t was decided to ask
Judge Miles Beach of the court of COM
mon pleas, and Attorney Garner
was Immediately dispatched to see
him. Judge Beach was holding
court and said it was out of the
then being summed up before him. JUS
tice Andrews was then called upon, and
he at first declined. saying it was equally
impossible for him to go. Justice An
drews finally consented, and leaving the
bench, was driven rapidly to the Gould
home.
When Justice Andrews arrived it was
about $3.50 o'clock and the wedding party
was in state of excitement for fear the
plan to have civil marriage might fall
through. The wedding breakfast and re-
ception were ended and many of the guests
gone. The justice assured the bride and
bridegroom that the ceremony would
consume but a very few minutes, and at
his SUGGESTION the DartioS went upstairs
to the sitting room on the second floor,
and there in the center of the room the
simple ceremony which declared the two
man and wife second time was per-
formed George and Helen Gould, At
torney Garner and about half a dozen of
the guests were witnesses. The brides
maids and ushers were not present The
bride and bridegroom signed the certifi-
cate hurriedly and departed.

KEEP WITHIN OUR MEANS.
North Topeka Citizens Favor More of
Mayor Harrison's Methods.

Mayor darr1SOn'S Methods.
There was meeting of the citizens of
North Topeka last night to discuss plans
of lowering the salaries of city officers
who receive more than 500 per month.
j. J. Miller was chairman of the meet
ing. There was a good attendance and
the following resolutions were adopted:
Resolved, That the meeting of the Cit
liens of the First ward of the city of To-
peka, duly called and held for the con-
sideration of ways and means to reduce
the public expenses of this city, are in
favor of the reduction of all salaries of
city officers and employs receiving more
than $50 per month; and be it further
Resolved, That a committee be- ap-
pointed by the chairman to obtain
public expression of their intentions in
this matter from the different candidates
for mayor of the city and councilmen
from this ward And we hereby recon-
mend that the citizens of the other wards
take like action in the various other
wards of the city.
I he action of the meeting is in har-
mony with the expressed views of Mayor
Harrison.
When he was first elected mayor he
went before the committee on ways and
means, of which Councilman Fellows
was chairman, and recommended sweep
ing reductions in the heads of the de
partments Among the other reduc-
tions he advocated the reduction of his
own salary to $50 per month.
He said in his recommendation:
This would work saving over the
year 1892 of over $4,000, which would
give 5000 days work to laborers at $1.5O
per day and still leave fair compensation
for the officials, considering the times
and the work to be done"
The committee refused to endorse his
position and the present salary ordinance
was the result.

SALARY REDUCTIONS.
The Pay of Some of the Members of the
Police Force Reduced.

The Pay of Some of the Members of the
Police Force Reduced. e
There is quite stir among the new
police force over the action of the police
commissioners in fixing salaries. The
pay of the patrolmen was fixed at $50
per month for the first six months they
are on the force, after which they are 10
receive $55 The men had expected
500 from the first The pay of the two
jailers, the sanitary officer and the patrol
driver were reduced from $50 per month
to $50. The pay of other members of the
force is left the same.
A resolution was 20 have been intro
duced at the meeting of the council last
night in reference to the matter, but it
was not reached. 1t provided for the
drafting of an ordinance regulating the
salaries of the police. Such an ordi-
nance would be of little use as the law
gives the police commissioners the au-
thority to fix the salaries.
Chairman Bonebrake says that if the,
men do not want to work for the fixed
wages they can scarcely do otherwise
than resign, as there are $50 applicants
for positions on the force.

GRANDPA's HEAD REST.

1y to shun them as altogether too fixed
up" for his after-dinner nap in the rock
ing chair. But grandfather's white
head must be plllowed- One of his
granddaughter might make him a
simple but very pretty head rest like
the one in the accompanying sketch.
A downy pillow is first made and COW
cred, just big enough to fit the special
chair it is to hang upon. Then pill
low case of dainty gingham is made in
fine stripes or plaids and in the dainti-
est, softest colors obtainable, for it
will wash like a pocket handkerchief
and so need not be any of those de-
pressing colors that won't show dirt. -
Let it be as pretty a gingham as the
counters offer.
The case is trimmed across the bot
tom with full ruff1e that curves round
the lower corners and gradually merges
into the sides. Four fat-very flat
buttons fasten the pillow into the cas-
ing and also add somewhat to its APP
pearance They will not come into
contact with the head as they are down
under the curve of the pillow, and so
will not be likely to cause discomfort.
Two strong loops of cord fasten the
rest to the chair, and these may be of
cotton cord whose colors go well with
the bingham case. Then, when the
whole needs washing one has only to
slip out the pillow and send its cover
ing just as it is to the laundry. When
it comes back as good as new, the pill
low is buttoned back into it and grand
fathers chair is ready again to coax
him into another nap.-Country Gentle

ST. LOUIS, March 5.-Late dispatches
from Havana state that the governor of
the province of Santiago has reported to
the governor general that the rioters at
Blaire are disposed to surrender, and a
favorable result of parleyings with them
is expected very soon. The entire band
of insurgents in Jaguey Grande with
Marrero, their leader. have surrendered.
Bartelo Masso, commanding 200 men
in the district Of Manzanillo, has taken
refuge in the mountains and is complete

There is a band of 100 men under
Amador Guerra, and small band is sta
toned at Bayamo, headed by Esteben
Tamayo.
The military commander of Guantana-
mo reports that several members of
Pedro Perez's band have surrendered
The officials of the district assert that
the rebel force there number only $50
men; that they are poorly armed and
have very little ammunition. 1t is
thought that they expect fresh supply
from abroad, and war ships are cruising
along the coast to intercept any vessels
that may bring ammunition to them.

MAYOR HOPKINS ON TRUSTS

williams in BrOadcloth'' is What He Calls
Their Manage rs.
CHICAGO, March 5.-Mayor Hopkins
last night announced his unconditional
official approval of the Ogden gas ordi-
nance which has aroused warm opposi-
ton from the Civic Federation and in
other influential quarters, on the ground
that it is a ''boodle" measure. The Cos
mopolitan electric ordinance, which has
been similarly classed by the opponents
OF the Ogden ordinance, was also ap-
proved by the mayor.
In message to the city council &C.
companying his approval, Mayor Hop
kins says: There is hardly state in the
union in which laws prohibiting the
formation of trusts and kindred combina-
tions have not been passed and the courts
everywhere seem to be more or less en-
gagged with judicial inquiries into the
manifold abuses incident to the esta blish-
ment and continuance of these unlawful
and oppressive organizations. So far
however. the people have only here and
there been successful in this great strug-
gle. and 80 crafty aud law defying have
been the villains in broadcloth and kid
gloves manipulating these enormous
properties, that they have managed by
various subterfuges as artful and cum
ming as can possibly be contrived by the
shreWdeSt and most Inscriptions or cor
poration lawyers to escape the conse-
| quences of final judgments and DEGREES
of the courts of last resort.
1t is the direct consequence of the or
! ganization and continuance of trusts like
the great Chicago gas trust now said to
| form but branch of a still greater, and
| therefore, still more dangerous trust of
not only national, but international dom
nance that, notwithstanding the increas-
ed consumption, and Notwithstanding
the continuous new inventions and i'm
! proved contrivances materially cheaper
| ing the cost of production, the people of
our city have to pay a much higher
price for Illuminating gas than the peo-
pie of other less populous American
| communities Why should our people
be compelled to pay more for gas than
| the people of Detroit, Cleveland and
| Wheeling?
If the capitalization of the trust rep
resented nothing but capital actually in
vested in the plant, the dividends de-
rived from 81 gas stock would be so
large that the stock could not be had for
anything less than an amount equal to
many times its par value.
