Women and Mems C1othes.

Ouida believes that, instead of going
into society, women would be better
employed i'll applying their minds to
"dressing themselves, their children
and their men. - She says in The Cos
mopolitan:
''I do not think mon would long re-
sist feminine effort Oh the part Of wom-
en- to introduce some better male cos
tune than that which at present makes
the streets and the drawing rooms alike
hideous-that is, if the effort were gen.
eral, sustained and persuasive. The
trouser is the eliminating point in
modern male attire of ugliness indecen-
cy, unsuitability and antihygienic stu
pidity. The chimney pot is the moro
ludicrous, but think the trouser is tho
moro odious portion of masculine cloth
ing. 1t would make guy of Apollo's
self -
1t would be interesting to know what
most mon would say to the proposition
that their wives design the clothes they
should Wear. Imagine the predicament
mauve spike tails and refractory hus-
band with horror of attracting notice.
The number of complications is too hor-
rifying to contemplate. Ouida is quite
right about the trouser, but a mind built
to dwell upon tiounces and toques-
would it be entirely safe to trust such a
mind with the grim problem of the
trouser, the bassy vest, the stern silk
hat?
1t is doubtful Best leave mans gar
ments to the tailors-and to the bicycle,
which is already doing a great work in
exterminating the hated trouser Phil

hallway Vibration.

Annoyance and temporary discomfort
are small items i'll the schedule of ills
chargeable to vibration and noise on
railways and the unceasing and terrific
racket of many of our cities. The noise
of the elevated railways has caused
convulsions in children and what is
equivalent to nightmare in adults. One
lady of somewhat delicate organization
has frequently sprung from her bed on
the approach of a train and found her
self standing upright III the middle of
the floor when she awakened 1t SEEM

sweetheart living i'll that neishborhood,
and he managed so that the locomotive
made a series Of peculiar noises when
ever he approached the dwelling Of his

that so affected the sufferer. and she
was obliged to leave the neighborhood
on account of 1t. In ordinary railway
travel speed is the most important item

ing the great rapidity with which the
train moves is really a secondary con
sideration. Medical scientists who are
giving attention to this subject are be-
ginning to demand for their patients,
especially those who find it necessary to
take long journeys for their health, ac-
conmodations in which due regard is
had for quiet and freedom from that vi
bration which affects the nervous sys-

ing and pledged a good time and lots

in acquiring territory so far from this
country. and did not care to obligate
himself in any way to support a
measure which he could not indorse.

der was committed in this city this
morning, and this afternoon the slayer
was lynched, not for murder, however,
but for the crime of rape.
This morning Charley Gibson and
Jim Smith, colored, quarreled about
thirty cents. Smith turned away and
Gibson shot him dead. Gibson fed.
The sheriff and posse kept up the
chase until ,. M, when the murderer
was surrounded. The negro gave shot
for shot until brough down by three
Winchester bullets. The negro was
suspected of outraging a Miss Chapman
a few nights ago. The sheriff came
here for vehicle to convey the wound
ed man. While absent Gibson confess
ed to having raped Miss Chapman and
to thefts and burglaries. The crowd
which had gathered secured rope and
swung the negro from a limb.
In Gibson's house were found artic-
les which have been identified by own
ers In the room where clothes and
shoes stolen from the house where he
outraged Miss Chapman. There have
been two cases of rape within two
weeks and three attempts. People are
terribly excited and this summary pun
ishment is what the public reasonably

OF the wounded, it is thought that
two will die, as they suffered inter-
nal injuries. All of the dead and
wounded were sent to Wan, with the
exception of Walton's body, it being
brought to this place, where he has
relatives living. None Of the trainmen
were hurt. The wrecked train was a
local freight, No. 4, from Coffeyville.
Kan, to Van Buren,. While the train
was running at the speed of twenty
miles an hour the forward trucks of
one of the cars near the engine broke,
Wrecking fifteen cars loaded with wal
nut logs and baled hay. With the ex-
ceptlon of two cars in front and three
cars in the rear, including the caboose,
every. car of the twenty composing the
train was ditched. In the middle of
the train was car loaded with heavy
machinery and it was in this car that
thirteen men were stealing a ride and
from which seven dead and six serious
~ wounded were taken by the train
men shortly afterwards.
1t appears that the occupants of the
wrecked car were a party of men and
boys living at Wan, l. T., who were
coming to Van Buren, to find EMPLOY
ment in the cotton fields. When the
machinery cars left the rails it fell
on its side. nearly all of the man being
caught by the heavy beams. A car of
logs was piled on top Of the one in
which the men were riding, and that
any escaped instant death is but little
short of miracle. A message was
sent to Train master Welsh at this
place by the train crew and he imme-
diately ordered out wrecking crew
and, with Division Roadmaster Nc
Leod, went to the scene of the wreck.
taking with him the company's local
surgeon at this place. The first thing
done was to eXtricate the dead and
wounded, and on account Of the heavy
logo and machinery under which they
were buried, the task was laborious
one, and it was several hours before
the last of the bodies was recovered
from the wreck

PITTSBURG, Pa, September 12.-Pitts-
burg operators believe that this week will
find many mines in full operation. Mine
owners have announced that their pits
will be opened in the morning. Many Of
the strikers will take the opportunity.
Secretary Warner, of the miners, says
the Columbus agreement will be adhered
to- 1t is not believed the officials will try
to stop the men from going to work. A
convention of miners has been called
Wednesday to devise means for continu-
ing the fight against such firms as refuse
to pay the price. The ten days, the opera
tors here say, was to steal trade of Pitts
burg operators. Mr.. Ernest Sages says
ten days at this season means heavy loss
to operators and miners. Pittsburg coal
is hampered, and must find passage
through the lakes by rail and water. The
longer lake shipments are delayed the
more coal will be mined west during the
winter Pittsburg miners will suffer des-
titntion this winter and waiting ten days
increases the suffering.
Pittsburg operators are discussing an
offer to the men to break away from the
national organization and form a sepa-
rate organization.
1t is known that the New York and
Cleveland Gas Coal Company had erected
close to Sandy Creek mine a temporary
boarding house for the purpose, it was
supposed, of housing imported workmen.
Tonight it is said that many of the old
men are sheltered in the new house and
intend to go to work in the morning. The
district officers are hastily arranging for
a special demonstration in the morning in
order to, if possible, prevent the threaten
ed stampede.

Late Member of the Heptasophs.
Baltimore. September 12.-The Cir

fer died about August Is, and Emma

The Supreme Conclave alleges that
it has learned that Emma was never
the legal wife OF Philip George Schae-
fer, but that this position was held nv
Margaret Schaefer, who also claims
that she is entitled to the benefit under
the certificate. The order is willing ia
pay the benefit, but it does not deem

Macon, Ca, September IA special
to the Telegraph from Valdosta, Ga,
says: The story of the killing of Sam
Parker, a well known citizen of Cecil
at Hahira, this morning, by Shelton
Dampier, shows it to have been one
of the blacklist crimes that has ever
stained the criminal annals of this
country.
The story received here is to the
effect that Parker was on his way to
church and had stopped on the street
to talk to some gentlemen, Dampier be-
ing in the crowd.
After a few minutes conversation
the crowd began to break up, and
Parker, Dampier and the town mar
shall were left alone. Dampier drew
his pistol at this juncture and putting
it against the bosom of Parker, fired.
The ball passed through Parker's
heart and he sank to the ground, dying
instantly.
Turning to the marshal, Dampier
waved his pistol in his face and defied
him, threatening to kill him if he
moved. The desperate then turned
and made his escape.
Telephone messages were sent to
this city after dogs with which to trace
the murderer, but they could not be
sent, as the sheriff of, Brooks county
had them tracing a fugitive there.
The cause of the tragedy is said to
date back three years, when Dampier
was prosecuted for stealing some meat
from Parker.
