MATcHBoxEs FOR GIRLS
Another of Mans PrerOgatives Seize
IL

BrerOGatiyPS Seized
Upon by the New Woman.
Until this year the matchbox has
been the unquestioned, exclusive prop
crty of man. says the New York Jour
nal. Never once did he think of such
L thing as the fairer sex borrowing it.
He may have had presentment of her
laying claim to his necktie, but his
maJGhbON-neNer.
But the bicycle girl. who makes what
ever she wants possible, has now LAID
siege to mans matchbox. If she con-
templates riding at night she needs
matches to light her lamp, and neces~
sarily she must carry them in a match
box.
That is the reason that there are any
number of new matchboXes this year
which are smaller and more dainty than
anything in this line ever seen before.
DO girls buy them?" a prominent
jeweler was asked. To which question
he answered: Yes, indeed. The
smaller sizes are made particularly foI'
their special use"
The prettiest of the new matchboXes
for girls are of gold with an enameled
decoration. The enameling either
takes the form of a college or yacht club
flag or it resembles a hand-painteG
miniature showing a girl on wheel or
the head of a dog. Many of these match
boxes are made with a concealed recess
for a photograph. 1t is only when
certain spring is touched that the pic
ture can be seen, SO skillfully is it hid
den away.
The silver matchboXes, decorated
with the outline of Il tiny bicycle in
enamel, are also new and much less eX-

CUTTING OFF coREANs' PIGTAIL
Great Grief Over Edict of the Japan
ese ConquerOrs.

Great Grief Over an Edtct of the Japan
csc Conquerors.
Rev. a. F. Moore, missionary OF the
Presby terrain church for four years in
Seoul. Corea, arrived al San Francisco
on the steamer Rio en- route for home,
accompanied by his family.
Some months ago thu Japanese, who
dictated the appointment OF the Corean
cabinet. caused the japanese police to
cut off the hair, or topknot so called, OF
Il great many COreans. The topknots
are a sign of distinction. They are worn
only by married men. and no man is
supposed to have properly asserted
himself until he is married and has
topknOt.
The cutting off of these appendages
caused great grief. There were many
circumstances and increased dissatis-
faction. However, things have SO far
improved now that an edict has gone
forth allowing the COreanS to wear
their topknots. The consequence is
that many whose hair was cut off
have collected it again and fastened it
on, so that their happiness has been re-
established.
The gentleman says that many of the
COreans are embracing Christianity.
He says there is great disquiet in Corea.
and that bands of dissatisfied natives
are going about the country robbing
and pillagine. Travellers are not safe.
The king. whose consOrt was mur-
dered over Il year ago, is still at the Rus
sian legation and largely under its con-
troll. There is much dissatisfaction be
cause of this. \ new palace is being
built near the legation for the king.

WARM FEET.

They Are Essential to Health - Proper
Covering for the Feet.
You viii never be III good health and
never do your best work if your feet are
constantly cold. Grave diseases OF the
throat and lungs are caused by cold feet
alone, and these troubles are always ag-
gravated by frigid condition of the
lower extremities. If proper footwear
does not give relief, consult physician,
for the chances are the system is run
down" and radical measures are neces-
sary. In nine cases out of ten, however,
the foot covering is to blame, either be-
cause of it's shape or it's material. Save
in warm weather, and for low-cut shoes,
leather, as ordinarily prepared, has serl-
Gus objections. It lacks two prime quail
ities-porosity and capacity for alb
sorption-being in this respect too
much like rubber. No foot can remain
either comfortable or healthyi keptina
perpetual bath of its own emanations
and excretions. Leather, especially
that of the more porous varieties, may
be tolerated for the outside, but for
cold weather it should always be lined
with wooden cloth. or, better, with wool
felt. In fact, for all cold climates and
for winter wear in all climates where
there is any winter, a footgear made
from all wool felt approaches the ideal.
According to modern notions, any ill
ness in one part of the body may be oc-
casioned by some irritating cause far
removed from the seat of the trouble.
Just how this is cannot always be clear
u explained, but that such connection
does sometimes exist is beyond dis
pute. In the matter under discussion,

tated by tight shoe, or the extreme

A Man Kills His Sweetheart and Her

CENTERvILLE, Ia, Feb. 15.-George
Jones shot and killed his sweetheart,
Leah Martin, her mother. Mrs. w. j.
Martin, and then put bullet into his
own head, yesterday evening. The
reasons for the deed are unknown, but
it is supposed that the parents of the
girl, with whom Jones had been keep
ing com pany for two years, had object
ed to their relations Jones was of
good family, and the Martins were also
highly respectable people. Jones went
to their home on the street car in the
evening. and the last seen of
him alive was when he entered
the house. A short time after
several shots were heard. Neighbors
rushed to the house and found
Mrs. Martin and her daughter on the
floor. Mrs Martin had a bullet in her
head and one in her breast, and was
dead. The daughter had bullet in
her head and one in her neck, and will
die. Jones was found outside the
house with great hole in his temple
and his brains oozing out. The scene
in the house indicated that Jones had
gone there and had quarrel with the
girl, and that her mother interfered
between them; that Jones shot the
mother first and then the daughter.

Lord Salisbury and other responsible
British statesmen at the opening of

tanned here by the officials of our gov
eminent and memb ers of the legisla-

and that the Venezuelan dispute will
be settled by arbitration. England, of
course, will try to conceal her back

try to convince the English jingoes
that the British government has not
yielded to the demands of Uncle Sam,
but the fact nevertheless remains that
Salisbury's speech in the house of
lords is of very different tenor from
his reply to Mr.. Olney. Lord Sails
bury's reply to our secretary of state
was an emphatic refusal to submit the
Venezuelan boundary dispute to arbi-
tration. an emphatic assertion that the
United States had no interest in the
dispute and plausible argument that
the spirit of the Monroe doctrine was
in no way involved in the contention

REPRESENTATION FIXED.

Kansas POpulist Committee Completes
Further Arrangements for the COnven-

TOPEKA, Kan, Feb. 1.-THE populist
state central committee completed its
work by making an apportionment OF
delegates for the two state conven-
tions. For the Hutchinson conven-
ton, which meets on March IS to
elect delegates to the national con-
vention, the basis was fixed at one del
egatO for each county and one delegate
for each 400 populist votes cast at the
last general election. This makes a
convention of about 400 delegates.
For the state convention at Abilene on
August 5, which is to nominate state
officers, the basis was fixed for at one
delegate for each county and one for
each $50 votes cast for the populist
ticket, making a convention of about
600
