reasons and remedies for this abnormal
condition of things"

The death of Mark NJ. c"Brick') POM
eroy marks the end of singular career
in American journalism. Mr.. POmcroy
printed at LII Crosse. Wis, about the
closing period of the war and for few
years afterward Il newspaper filed with
columns of vitriolic abuse against the
methods adopted in the war for the
Union and against the great Union
leaders in military and civil life. His
support from extreme coppcrhcads at
the North ana survivors of the rebellion
at the South was immense. His paper
had Il vast circulation and produced
a moderate fortune each year for It's
owner. lie expended In enc purchase
100000 for presses and other office
equipments. and paid every debt that
he contracted In his enterprise. But his
personal popularity and his newspaper
circulation were cphemeral. Unfor.
tunately for himself, he expended his
money as fast as 1t was received. and
though he aftcrward always lived wei

of the most nmiablc and genial Of men
with no marked cccentricities. but will

THEY LOOK WELL. ANYWAY.

Good for the members of the Fedora
ton of WOman's Clubs! Acting upon
some wise persons hint, they created
the precedent mt Louisville of sitting
bNreheadcd while at their deliber-
lions. without any formal action or
the passage of any rule or resolution
they simply took Off their hats during
the progress of proceedings. ana II any
woman In the hall did not have clear
view of the stage 1t was not because
somebody's hat was In her path of
vision. This means quite a boom for
the anti-high-hat-in-public assemblies
movement. The federation has given
the weight of It's official standing to the
bareheaded doctrine, and Is according
ly to be held In gratitude. That the
boost It gives to this movement Is not
likely TO achieve full reform III not the
fault OF the federation. Custom AMI
the DEGREES OF fashion exert n moral
force which even the federated women
themselves could not withstand. WO-
man has always cheerfully recognized

to contribute TO the world as much OF

MUST KEEP 1HEIR KISSES.

Boston Herald: 4 Kansas magistrate

hardly become popular In iccbOund cir.
cies of Boston society. yet fashion has
been guilty of worse mandates. and to
greet ones ncighbOr with a flying
salute on the tip of her glOved fingers

the aid of the law to protect him from
such clOyingly sweet annoyance. The
