are subject to involuntary bankruptcy
for certain designated causes. In gen
eral these involuntary causes relate to
fraudulent conduct on the part of the
bankrupt.
The clause in past measures provid-
ing that a man who permits his COM
mercial paper to go unpaid for 80 days
shall be an involuntary bankrupt, is
eliminated. The general effect of the
bill is to discharge the bankrupt of all
debts after the estate has been admin
istered and it has been found that
there has been no fraudulent conduct.
The bankrupt measure is so framed
as to make it's administration simple
and inexpensive. 1t involves only two
officers, referee and trustee.

There is no better exercise for young
woman in thoroughly good health than
bicycling. On the contrary, if she suffers
from weakness or disease of the distinctly
feminine organs, if she rides, at all, such
exercise should be very sparingly INDUCED
in. Women are peculiarly constituted and
their general health is peculiarly dependent
upon the health of the specially feminine
) organism.
It is the health of these delicate and i'm
portant parts that makes the wheels of
general health go round" Their strength
and vigor are as important to a woman as

Flo Irwin had a cold last night She
brought it up with her from Kansas

her the rest of the day. 1t bothered
her considerably and caused her to
wear a lace handkerchief in one hand
and make dainty applications from
time to time. 1t was responsible for
the disappointment of the audience in
not hearing more than two of the Irwin

at times in executing back talk may
also probably be charged to it.

CoNEY ISLAND IS GoOD WOW.
stn There Is n Little Life and No Drought on
the Bowery.

The annual spasm OF reform struck Coney
Island yesterday, but for all that the resort
was not exactly on the order of n Christian En-
deavor convention. Concert halls and free
and casics" were open as therefore,. and visitors
could easily obtain drinks without the Itaines
law sandwich. Police Captain Collins enforced
his reform order prohibiting cane and ~penknife
ringing, and the Streets of Cairo and
the Turkish Theatre were running I'M
der reform limitations. The couchee-couchee
dancers were somewhat handicapped by
Oriental dresses reaching 70 their feet.
Capt. Collins made an hourly visit to each place
and kept a policeman there as well. Capt. Col
Inns said that no allowed the women TO perform
on probation, but II an attempt was made TO
give the original couchee-couchec dance no
would at once place The performers under arrest.
At the concert halls the women performers
were attired In street costume, but with this
exception there was no attempt at a Puritanical
Sunday.
According to the estimate made by the police.
there were between 10000 and 40. 600 visitors
on the island, but the arrests were few. Chief
Detective Reynolds and members of his staff
were at the island part OF the day. Commits
