New York, Sept. Soon after the So

leading tailors' unions of the world held
n convention in the same city. Seventeen
delegates represented England, two Amer

switzerland. and three Germany The
reports of the delegates We're to the effect
that the condition of the tailors was
equally bad in all countries, and that the
laws against sweat shops We're not en-
forced. The Swiss delegates proposed that
general strike be declared all over the
world, but the consensus of opinion was
that conditions We're not ripe for such a
strike, and that the organization of the
tailors must be extended.
All the delegates expressed the opin-
ion that the tdilors could better their
condition only by going out on an inter-
national strike. 1t was decided that
the best place for headquarters for

Fair Charges Decided. and q Definition
OF What Is Discrimination in n Case
Tha. Is stated-OaiciaI Record of Sccrc-
tary Holse smith.
Washington, Sept. a.-The interstate
commerce commission yesterday, in an
opinion by Commissioner Clements, an.
hounced its decision of the case OF the
Omaha Commercial club against tae Chi
ca9o, Rock Island and Pacific Railway
company and other carriers between Texas
points and Omaha, Kansas City, St Louis
and o:her Mississippi river points and
Chicago. The main points of the decision
are a. follows: Carriers have no right to
disregard distance and natural advantages
FOR the purpose of bringing about com
mercial equality.
The practice, if lawful. of giving to
Kansas City on shipments from the
west through Pueblo, Colorado Springs,
Denver and Cheyenne. and from the
northwest through Cheyenne, rates not
higher than on such shipments to
Omaha. furnishes no warrant for Civ
iHS oHldna rates from IeXaS points
not higher than those to Kansas City,
the circumstances and conditions in
the two cases being substantially dis
similar.
Unjust Discrimination Defined.
Through rates are matters of con-
tract between carriers composing
through lines. and the commission has
no power to compel carriers to contract
with each other. If. in cases of ship
ment under a through bill of ladinG
and through rate, the privilege of
stopping in transit at an intermedi-
ate point and trying the market there,
and If il be found unsatisfactory, of re-
shipping on to the point of original des-
tnation at the balance of the through
rate. he lawful. the granting of it to
one locality and denying of it TO anoth-
er under substantially similar circum-
stances would be unjust dscrimina ton
against the latter.
Regulates Maximum Rates.
The maximum rates between Omaha
and Texas points should not be as high
as those between Chicago and Texas
points, and should not exceed those be-
tween Davenport, Rock Island and Moline
and Texas points, and the rate on syrup
from Omaha should not be in excess of
that from Davenport.

CONSULT THE MEN.
They Are Said to be the Best Guides
on Woman's Dress.


Men as rule have very good taste
in deciding for the women they care
for details or dress, says the London
Mail. They seem particularly success
full where the arrangement of the hair
is in question. Itis no, that they are
able to originate an idea, but a chance
alteration in the couture of the woman
they love will make them say, how
pretty your hair is today" They do
not know why it is pretty, but the
girl thus praised will understand at
once what the particular point of
beauty is, and if she be wise will keep
to it.
Women usually hug to themselves
the hints given them by their mascu-
line admirers. There are hundreds in
England today who part their hair and
curl it on the brows simply because so
or so years ago The" said he liked it
that way. Another will knot hers in
the nape of the neck, while a third
would as soon think of dressing it lower
than the crown as she would of cut
ting it off altogether.
Color, again, is a mans strong point
that is to say, he knows when he likes
a color and when it suits his fiancee
or wife. He understands, too, what
dressmaker accentuates her good
points, though he may not be able to
explain that it is because her waist
is trim in one dress and shortened in
another; that he likes the first and not
the second.
'Oh, he knows nothing about dressi'
is the common and fiippant remark OF
many a girl. But question him, with
diplomacy, and you will see that after
all, he is neither so ignorant nor so lack
ing in taste as you imagine, and that,
this being so, he is your best counselor
in matters modestical.

AT THE PENITENTIARY.
PRISONERS TREATED TO AN OLD
TIME CHRISTMAS DINNER.
In the Afternoon, Fine Entertain
ment Arranged by People From
the City Was Given.

All the convicts at the state prison were
happy yesterday the warden and his
assistants doing everything possible to
make the day a happy one for those who
are confined there Liberties were al
lowed which are not permitted on other
days, and the convicts had a very en-
joyable time of it.
The Christmas dinner was the main
feature of the occasion, not on account
of the quantity, for the prisoners in Utah
are always we'll fed. but by reason of the
quality. There was turkey and cram
berry sauce in great quantities; plum
pudding and mince pie; coffee, tea and
milk; fruit, consisting of oranges and
apples and other good things, which were
greatly appreciated
IL is these sort of things which go far
toward reforming the convict Give him
good dinner occasionally and he will
gratefully remember the officer who is
responsible for the same and hold him in
respect for the kindness Then, too, he
realizes that when inside he cannot get
all this when he likes and will remember
that it is only when he is at liberty that
he can crafty his appetite as he desires.
Love of liberty is a mighty inducement
to all, save the most hardened criminals,
to refrain from wrong doing afterward,
and it is engendered by cutting off such
pleasures as those who are free only
enjoy.
But it is for the purpose of chroniclinS,
not moralizing. that this is written.
Some kind-hearted people of the city
got up programme which was carried
out in the afternoon, greatly to the en-
joyment of the convicts- The following
is a copy of the same:

make your foot look prettier. 1t causes
your foot TO lock cramped, heavy and
chubby, and viii effectually prevent you
from walking WELL comfortably or
gracefully. Flat heels are the only
sensible heels to shoes, and the only
easy, graceful walker.
A reflective and somewhat philo-
sophie citizen was talking about
woman's sense OF humor and declared
that in a general way the things which
annoyed a man seemed to amuse a
woman On being asked to illustrate
what he meant the philosopher said:
.All of US have probably had the ex-
perience of being thrown bodily across
a car, onto the floor, or into somebody
lap, while going around a corner. Now,
it has been my invariable observation
that when that occurs to man he is
visibly annoyed. If he is a frequent
car passenger like myself. he exhibits
sort of stole disgust at the unneces-
sary violence of the company. If he is
very young, he may become embar-
raised and flushed. But never by any
possibility does he see anything humor-
Gus in this experience.
ION the other hand, woman always
seems to regard it as a facetious pleas
antry devised by the officers of the
cars every day,and if she does she is
thrown off her feet probably twice a
week, and sees some other woman vic
timized nearly every day. Yet, whether
she is the unfortunate, or whether it is
some other woman in the car, there is
for her an unfailing source of mirth in
the proceeding. The woman who gets
slammed around until her hat is awry
and her couture dislocated, and after
treading on the toes of seven other
passengers, is finally deposited out of
breath in some other woman's Ian,
laughs aloud in gleeful way. So does
the owner of the lap, and so does
nearly every other woman in the car.
As a source of feminine mirth, this ex-
perience seems never too stale
haven't decided yet whether the ex-
plantation is that women are more
good-natured under some kinds of i'm
positions than men are, or whether the
solution of the problem is shrouded in
the eternal mystery which surrounds
the feminine conception of humor in
general"
! The speaker would probably have
continued to elucidate his views on the
topic in hand had not his sister with
cred him with look of such contempt
as convinced him that further dis
cussion on that line was dangerous.

Chicago Chronicle: Mr.. Fitzsimmons
is a prize fighter by Injunction.
Washington Post: Sailor Sharkey is
still in bed explaining how he licked
Fitzsimmons.
st. Louis Republic: Sharkey got
everything in his fight with the Kan
garoo-the licking and the purse, too.
Chicago Tribune: The use of the
Australian system did not save Lexi-
'cographer Fitzsimmons from being ac-
counted out.
Chicago Post: 1t took six San Fran
cisco physicians to decide what was
the matter with Sharkey, when every
one else in the country knew that it
was merely that Fitzsimmons hit him.
Now and then there seem to be draw
backs to being a physician.
New York Sun: We believe that, in
days gone by, James Corbett could
have whipped Robert Fitzsimmons.
But, since the subsequent advance of
time and the Sharkey combat in San
Francisco. in which, speaking COLO
quially, Mr.. Sharkey was not, we are
equally confident that Mr.. Corbett will
never venture professionally into Mr..
FitzSimmonS' company.
