Again the pawnbroker.

Good Housekeeping has repeatedly
called attention to the practices of pawn
brokers and others in the business of

suppression of vice and crime, and help

That Silken Lininr

The silk lining.'' said the business
woman, 'is the dividing line between
the woman at home and the woman in
business. The swish and f1utter, as you
name it, have no place about business
office. In fact, the tailor-made gown
and the Fedora hat form the armor of
the business woman. In that attire You
may call her the new woman. if you will; /;
she is ready to meet the world on it's own
ground and will not feel that she is mis-
understood.
''The woman who r,1stlcs into busi-
ness office filing the air with the sounds
of silkcn tuttcr is more often looked
upon by the men she encounters as a di-
versi ion. If they have no interest in d.
version at that particular moment, they
get rid of her and bow her out as soon
as possible. If she is dressed too we'll
the chance is that they regard her as
too pros porous for earnest work. If she
is shabby or carelessly attired, which is
about the same thing, she is branded as
inefficient or she wouldn't be in such ap-
parcntly reduced circumstances. The
tailor-made suit, therefore, is the hapDy
medium If she has good gloves and
good shoes, well-fitting garments and no
silk lining, she is equipped to meet the
world. Silk Innings, silk pctticoats and
ostrich plumes all mitigate against the
success of a woman in the business
world. New York Tribune

How Mrs. Lincoln "Fived Up the Presi.

In narrating when Lincoln was First

Home Journal, Stephen Fiske writes i'll
tcrestingly of the memorable journey
from Springfield, ILL.,, to the national
capital, and tells of Mrs. Lincolns eff
forts to have her husband look presenta-
lie when receiving a delegation that was
to greet them upon reaching New York
city.

crowds could be seen; the cheering

her handbag and said:

"Mr Lincoln gently lifted her upon the
seat before him; she parted, comber and
brushed his hair and arranged his black
necktie.
"'Do l look nice now, mother? he af-
fectionately asked.
"'Well, you'll do. Abraham, replied
Mrs. Lincoln, critically. So he kissed
her and lifted her down from the seat.

Rational Ercss for the Daby.

For young baby, in cold weather. two
garments are needed between the under
skirt and the. dress. These should be
made, one of Jaeger white stockinet. and
the other of silk-warped flannel. Neither
one should be more than long enough to
cover the feet These materials are so
beautiful that they will require no en-
broidery or trimming. Simple feather
stitching will be sufficient to render both
garments fit for a princess; and yet they
will not cost rs much and will be more
durable than the usual long, heavily EN-.
broidered flannel skirt. and the longer,
h-betrmmed cambric abomination
called an over-skirt. Properly appareled
in the silk and woolen clothing, baby
has every garment as soft and warm as
his own delicate flesh, and cannot be irri
tated or hampered by his dress, at least.
Silk-warped flannel skirts and white

Newport to Prevent Lynchine.
Newport. KY. Oct. SAN angry
crowd gathered about the court house
and Jail here yesterday upon the an
nouncement of a most shocking assault
by II men upon the young wife Of q
switchman, recently married. Thomas
Gleason and his wife started out the
Alexandria pike to visit a friend on
Wednesday night, when two men with
revolvers, and representing themselves
to be officers, separated husband and
wife and dragged the shrieking woman
into field, where II men assaulted
her. ~
Yesterday the gang Of ruffians were
brought to preliminary trial before
Judge Bennett, who, upon the testi-
mony, held them all to answer to the
grand jury without bail, the offense
being Il capital one. The idea of q
special grand jury was abandoned, as
the regular jury meets Oct. 10. Mean
time, owing to the excited state of feel
ing and the insecurity of the Newport
jail the men were ordered to be taken
to Maysville yesterday afternoon for
safe keeping.
When the time came for the removal
OF the ten prisoners Zone being still
held for further Identification to the
Chesapeake and Ohio depot to take the
train for Maysville there was such a
menacing crowd about the Jail that the
sheriff called out the entire police force,
day and night, to preserve order. 1t
was with difficulty that the men were
taken to the two wagons which con-
veyed them to the depot, and tho crowd
followed closely after. At the depot
and before the train arrived the situa-
ton grew more threatening. The crowd
jeered the prisoners and shouts of
Don't let them get on the train" were
heard. The police force finally had to
charge the yelling crowd to prevent a
rush at the prisoners Fortunately the
train soon came and the men were safe
ly embarked.
The prisoners are aged from 10 to 80,
mostly without employment. Two or
three :re street pedders, and all are
known to the police as gang going to-
gether and often found drunk and dis
orderly. Their names are Dad Meiner,

foss, Matt Meiner and William Schorle.
