The Careless Modern Young Woman

From the London Telegraph.
 ''The a,lluision," writes "An Old Mahd," to the neglige attitudes assumed after dbrner by the advocates of rational dress at Oxford draws attemtfon to a feature of the new woman's progress wl1fah has ralher escaped notice so far. Our grand mothers were taught to sit very upright, to keep their knees close ,tlogether and to cross their feet, and when they s.ood to hold themselves erect. The modern young faldy, as any one may know who has had tea, say, dn Ithe 'roomS' of a womelHs university student affects the most extraordinary positions, It's on the floor with her head against the sealt or arms of a chair. curls herself legs and am, into arm chairs, and does nor at all oibject to the taIble, swinging her legs as she sits on It.. In fact, she lies or Iolls or does anything in preferenee to the oas- djnary act of sitting down on a chair. No one desires a return to the oad- fashioned rigbdity or to limit easefui and comfortable freedom of posture, but 1t can hardly be maintafned that some new methods contribute to 1his, and the observer who takes note of such char acterhkacs rather sees in them another sign of ithiat curious retssta nee to any timing that savors of the dignity, the grace and gentleness of former feminine ideals"

last person in the world who I thought would ride wheel is the Chinaman. saw one pedaling down the street in Cin- oinnati the other day and the sight was so ludicrous that burst out in roar of 1aghter. A friend of mine from Texas was along and enjoyed the spectacle hugely. He remarked that some of the boys dn the western towns were mot stuck on thls wheel and the sight of a Chinaman on a bike would be a sure cause of trouble.''
 They were just few drinks in and were walking down the street late in the afternoon. A sign in front of a barroom attracted their attention. The sign an- nounced soup as the integral part of a free lunch with beer.
 They rushed in at once and called for soup and beer. or If you please beer and soup.
 "Yer way off," sniffed the "barkeep.' That don't go only at dinner. See"
 How about the sign?" asked one.

The G. 0. M.
From the Phdladelnhia, In.

From the Philadelphia Inquirer.
 The so-called settlement of the Graeco-Turkish question has moved MT. Gladstone to declare that the pain, shame and mischief of the last two years in the eastern policy transcend entirely the powers of any language he could use concerning them. This may. at first sight, sound as an exaggeration, and yet his brief summing up of the whole matter justifies the statement. That summing up is that one hundred thousand Armenians have been slaugh- tered, with no security against a repeti- ton; that Turkey is stronger than at any time since the Crimean war; that Greece is weaker than at amy time since she became kingdom, and that all this is due to the European concert, which is synonym of the mutual hatred and distrust of the powers.

OF THE STREET
 AND HOTEL LOBBlES

"Do you know that the common run vious of each other," asked W. H. Cab mess, of Sparta, Tenn, who was in the city yesterday. q just heard a conver- sation at the dinner table which served to bring the thought forcibIy to mind.
 1.-Two young 'Charlles' came up to dinner. They couldn't keep quiet, ard of course they had to roast some one. But the way the objectionable party was drummer was the butt for their envy, and the dialogue opened up thus:
 q heard Jones was getting s1OO0O a year. said No. 1.
 "'oh, aren't you mistaken?' answered No. 3.
 Well, you know he is an excellent hardware man, just sells. 'em whether they want to be sold or not, didn't much believe any hardware house i'm Birmingham could afford to pay that price, but Jones told me himself, and you know Jones is a very, very truthful man.. Jones never tells lie about his goods even. Jones don't favor Joe Null hattan; he's the real article.' This was said in rather an ironical way, that pug zled the listener, who was No. ?.
 Well now I believe Jones does get about half that much, and I know he was offered a better position. At least he told me so.' This came from No. 2.
 Jones also told you this, did he? You got all your information from Jones' To tell you confidentIally, don't believe a word Jones says. I am getting a pretty good salary myself, and you know I am no slouch of a salesman. To tell you the truth. don't believe Jones re- ceives the salary do."'.

She is a pretty woman, with not a streak of gray or a sign of trouble. She was married when she was thirteen, and mother at four teen Her daughter is now just twenty and the rair would be taken for sisters quicker than mother and daughter"
 
 Tt is surprising the amount of money being won by expert bicycle riders" said J. K. Donahue. "The American riders are raking in fame and shekels fast enough. but in England and France 1t is going on at even Hvelier rate.

THE LUETGERT TRIAL.
Attorney McEwen COncludes-Case
VIII Reach Jury Saturday.

CHICAGO, ILL, October 12.-Assstant-
State's-Attorney McEwen finished his ar
gument in the Luetgert trial to-day, and
will be followed tomorrow by Attorney
Phalen, who will make the opening ad-
dress for the defence. Mr.. McEwen
took up the entire day with his argu-
ment and went over the case carefully
connecting the details OF the evidence
for the jury, and showing how one cir
cumstance fitted into another, and how
the whole mass of evidence submitted
by the state furnished, in his opinion, a
full and complete circumstantial chain
proving that Luetgert had murdered his
wife in order that his relations with
his servant girl, Marie Siemmering, might
remain undisturbed.
Throughout the entire argument, Luet-
CERT listened TO the speech Of the at
torney who was asking for his life with
the greatest attention. He never took
his ewes off Mr.. McEwen for more than
an instant, and the heavy scowl that Is
habitual with him deepened as the AS
sistant States Attorney pointed out cir
cumstance after circumstance that
weighed against his innocence.
1t is now practically certain that all
of the arguments will be finished so that
the case will be given to the jury by Sat-
urday night, at the latest.

submitted TO the Cabinet at Its meeting
tomorrow. The reply. 1t is stated, Will
say that Spain is unable to fix exactly
the date when the war will be over. bus
the ministers are persuaded II will not bG
long, because "the situation OF the rsbeia
Is critical and the efforts OF the Spanish
troops are sure of success. Owing TO ths
rebels situation, and the concession oa
autonomy. which will be effective before
January, the hope Is that actual hostsIi-
ties will finish shortly"
Spain, 1t is continued. thinks the res
forms and the activity OF the Spanish
troops are safe elements to secure the im-
mediate pacifcation OF the island. which,
IL is asserted, would have been more
rapid II the rebels had not had the sucs
cor of flibusterers. who. under the shei'
ter of the American flag, have contributed
TO maintain this state OF affairs"
The government has decided that Gene
raj Primo de Rivera Is to retain com-
mand in the Philippine Islands In order
that he may initiate the proposed re-
forms.

REDUCED FREIGHT RATES MET.
Cut Figures Made by The Mallory
Line via Galveston.

CHICAGO, October 12.-All the lines be-
tween Chicago and Denver have met the
reduced freight rates announced yester-
day by the Burlington road. The cut
rates will remain in effect until a COM
plete understanding is reached with the
Southwestern lines regarding the rates
made by the Mallory Line via Galveston,
which were the cause of the reduced rates
made by the Burlington.
The reduced rates made by the Mallory
Line via Galveston were cutting down the
business of the western roads between
Chicago and Denver, and there was no.
thing for them TO do but cut the rates
or see the traffic go in some other direc-
ton.
The lines between Chicago and Denver
claim that they would not have been
compelled to reduce rates If the roads
between the Gulf of Mexico and Colorado
common points had maintained rates, but
Il Is asserted that they were all the time
cutting them, and, therefore, 1t became
necessary for the Chicago-Denver roads
TO follow their example.
