pointment Of Judge Judson Harmon
became know here attorneys from the
courts and offices rushed to the office Of
Harmon, Colston Goldsmith g.
Hoadley to congratulate the new
attorney general and to ask for
farewell dinner from the bar.
Judge Harmon said he received letter
from President Cleveland and replied
to it by wire, but he had no knowledge
Of his appointment until advised by the
Associated Press. He does not know
when he will go to Washington.
Judge Harmon has long been recog-
nized as one of the foremost lawyers
and jurists of this state and as one of
its most popular citizens. He was born
near this city 49 years ago, has always
lived here and is known by all. His

would be merely to fill the vacancy
caused by Mr.. Olney's promotion.
The appointment of Judge Judson Har.
mon Of Cincinnati as attorney general
came in the nature Of surprise. His
name had not even been canvassed as
among the probabilities. There is the
best authority for the statement that
the president
Had Several Men Under Consideration
and the portfolio Of justice might have
been had by Mr.. James &. Carter Of
New York, who was counsel for the
government in the Bering sea tribunal
and the income tax cases, and by Mr..
Frederic R. Coudert of New York, had
they been disposed to accept it, Sec
retary Carlisle knew Judge Harmon
personally and both admired and re-
spected his ability. 1t was he. prob
ably, who first presented his name to
Mr. Cleveland Ex-Governor Camp
bell of Ohio, close friend of Judge
Harmon, also warmly supported him,
and the president secured also from ex.
Governor Hoadley of Ohio, who is now
living in New York and whose law
partner Harmon was, most favorable
reports as to his ability and standing.
After canvassing the situation thor.
oughly the president offered the port
folio of justice to Judge Harmon by
wire, and, Immediately upon receiving
favorable reply, announced the ap'
pointments.

CAPTAIN TO BLAME.

noss Of the Steamer Colima Duo to Her
Commanders Obstinacy.
SAN FRANCISCO, June 10. The Call,
in its story Of the wreck Of the Colima
as told by the survivors of the wrecked
vessel. says: The ship was overloaded.
badly loaded. top heavy loaded-all
agree to it. When the gale struck her,
she weathered it badly. Then she ca
reened. There was list to starboard
and she did not right again. Men called
out to the captain to cut away the deck
loading Of heavy spars. The captain
was obdurate. He knew his business,
or fancied he did, and would brook no
suggestions from what he called the
terrified and panic stricken passengers.
The ship listed more and more. Then
ehe lost her steering power. The cap
tain rang for more steam and would
not cut loose the deck load. The panic
on board grew worse, the fear OF death
more intense. Then the captain gave
orders for the crew to keep the passen'
gers within bounds. Whether those
orders went 80 far as to
withhold Life Preservers.
from the passengers and to permit
those who sought to do 80 to come on
deck where they might have had a
chance of battling with the waves Is
not known at this time. Steerage and
cabin passengers say they sought to
obtain life preservers and were forcibly
restrained from doing so. Down in
the steerage, guard was posted at the
companionway door and those who es-
capped to the deck in time to cast them
selves into the sea before the vessel
went down, did 80 only by main force,
by kicking and fighting their way past
the guard
Those who were saved are some OF
those who were wiser than the captain
who could see their peril more clearly
and had wit enough to throw them
selves into the sea before the Colima
gave her last list to starboard. AS she
did this, the captains whistle sounded
to cut loose the deckload of spars.

SLAVES OF FASHION.
They Are Truly Pathetic on Rair

They Are Truly Pathetic on a Rainy
Days.
"When girls discover that they can
be as healthy as their brothers, that
nature has not made them wretched
invalids, the sensation of good health
will create gradual but certain revo.
luton.
Common sense heels and broad
soles are almost a fashion. Fear of
microbes has very materially shortened
walking skirts. 1t used to be common
to see women SWEEP ag the street at
the expense of their own skirts and
bringing into their homes filth and
disease galore. Women have evoluted
so far as either to wear skirts that
clear the ground or practically to
apologize for their length by holding
them up. I don't know more
pathetic sight on a rainy day than a
woman wildly clutching her skirts
with one hand and her umbrella with
the other. Even then she is almost
sure to wet her ankles, though her feet
be protected. The final agony comes
when she needs to get at her pocket,
which is situated in the back of that
skirt. OF course the skirt must be
dropped and the fumbling goes on in
definitely until the placquet is found.
By this time the skirt is more or less
damp and the chances of grip are great
ly increased.
MARK how man walks! Erect, free,
with no petticoats to endanger health
or temper, with pockets all over him,
with his hands free, he is lord of crea-
ton And he is lord because he has
so willed it. Talk about the equality
of the sexes! Equal suffrage or no
equal suffrage-as long as we are slaves
of fashions set in the interests of man.
ufacturers of certain goods, utterly re-
gardless of woman's physique, we shall

Materials for Cushions.

Suitable materials for tho covers of
pillows are legion. Pieces Of last sum-
mer's thin silk can be used, and for a
hearth cushion there is nothing better
than the front of one of those tea-gown
patterns which were used few years
ago, and which were embroidered in
Persian designs and colorings. At any
japanese store can be found variety
of printed cotton crepes Of odd silks, or
of elaborately embroidered oriental
scarfs, ranging from 25 cents yard to
any amount you may be willing to pay.
A new material is chiffon, a ridged cot

In the Time of Erasmus.

Then not only all the learned, but
all the educated, were familiar with
Latin. Whoever read, indeed, must
read Latin; for there was little else to
read. Theology, history, philosophy
all were in Latin. The national liter
atures were only in their cradles.
Nearly a century after the time Of
Erasmus, Bacon deliberately buried his
bater works in Latin in the hope Of
juring his fame; and even Milton
bse Latin as the vehicle of some of
best of his early poetry, and did
abandon it without hesitation.
Erasmus it was everything; the
guage of his tongue as well as
lhis pen. He travelled everywhere,
Italy, France, England, Germany,
he certainly knew no English or
man, and apparently made his
in carry him through wherever he
bit. And whatever difficulties OF
guage he found with innkeepers,
servants, and officers of customs,

ceive the designs and then execute
them. To this extent he was an artist,
and he was supreme in his realm. The
woman who thought she knew what
she wanted better than he did not have
her gown made by him. There are
other men dressmakers, but they have
not reached his heights. 1t was only
necessary to have the stamp of Worth
upon ones gown in order to secure uni
versal respect and envy. Probably In
his long career he turned out many
dresses that were no better than those
designed and created by others, but
this made no difference so long as 1t
was knewn they were produced by
| Worth 1t was as much heresy to
doubt the perfection Of dress made by
| Worth as it would be to belittle score
by Beethoven or a picture by Raphael.
The signature at once lifted it above
criticism.
In his time, says the Chicago Tribune,
Worth had long and brilliant career.
Women of wealth and fashion, brides

queens and princesses, actresses and
prime dome have thronged his studio
and been arrayed In glory which
might be unlike that Of the lilies of the
field, and yet was both fascinating and
powerful in It's influences, for how
many actresses and singers have relied
upon Worth's ravishing stage costumes
for their success, and how many
more who never saw Worth have clan
destinely used his name to draw troops
to the matinees and make a popular
success! No man living, poet, prose
writer, artist, singer or actor, has ever
had such an influence upon the world
of high society as this dead gown
maker. He has been the alteration OF
those who could afford to patronize
him, while those who could not have
lived upon hope that some day their
ships would come in whereupon
they wqsld sail away to Paris and
visi that atelier whence issued
such ravishing costumes. Worth's
calling was not very exalted one,
for q man, but measured by the
standards of success he reached high
place. He was easily at the top of his
profession, and, as the practice Of his
profession did call for some artistic
knowledge and some sense Of the beau
tiful, his rise and his pinnacle where he
sat lonely are not to be lightly regarded
or to be deprecated. While 1t Is some
what Of calamity to lose man like
Worth, who had done no small work In
helping to beautify women, still there
is no question his place will be filed, as
among his heutenants there are those
who by long experience are fitted to fill
It. 1t is ono of the compensations Of
nature that no man is indispensable.
Other geniuses will appear in the world
of fashion, and some one of them ere
long will dominate it as supremely as
did Worth. Meanwhile 1t will be, in one
sense at least, a relief that stage per.
formers of the female sex can no longer
assert their artistic excellence because
their gowns were made by Worth.
