SKIRT pINpINa.

Unless you want your trouble for
your pains, don't get q poor skirt
binding; the old fashioned mobair
braid is away out of date. The best
kind is avelveteen with a cord stitched
into it. Nothing gives a skirt more
slovenly appearance than to be the
least bit worn around the bottom, and
unless you get the best you will be re-
newing all the time.

WHAT SIXTY CENTS IN WHISKY DID.

According to a Texas paper, an investment
OF sixty cents in whisky by young man
named Dean, in the year 1869, cost Fannin
County, in time and money, more than tho
revenue arising from the whisky traffic for
five years amounted to. Dean, inflamed
with his whisky, shot and killed Dan Coul-
Ger. Then the McDonalds shot and killed
Dean. For this otfense they were arrested,
and after continuing the case several times
were tried and convicted Of maRslaughter
and sentenced to the penitentiary. While in
jail they were rescued by their friends break
ing open the Jail and liberating them. TAX

whisky killed two mon, made one widow,

TWO SUCCESSFUL PRrAcurRs.

Two women preachers who are well
known in Cleveland, Ohio, are Miss
Murdoch and Miss Buck. Their work
is by no means light, for, besides
preaching, they visit the sick, make
many social calls and superintend all
sorts of church organizations. They
have also established a free kinder
garten in one of the poorest districts
of the city. In the pulpit they both
wear plain black silk gowns with sim
pie white linen collars and cuffs and
neckties.

"The saloon had been called "the poor
mans club" So it would always be. It's
constant patron would indeed remain a
poor man. Intemperance was especially
The curse OF the laborer. Yet Terrence
Powderiy, OF the United States, and John
Burns, OF England, had said to the working
men: "Unless you give up drink there Is
no hope for you. When you have given up
drink the labor problem is solved" Liquor
was not food, not a medicine, not per-
anent source Of pleasure.

of the colored swimmers who knew here
Fritz had gone down, none of them had
presence of mind enough TO tell the search
ers that they were diving in the wrong spot
until, at the expiI alton Of an hour, they
came out of the water.
When told where the body lay they dived
at once and secured it. The First pre-

around his home called him, was a sturdy
little fellow just about to enter the ghth

mother, who, bytaking gin W ashing, ma aged

The policeman on the street beat has
known the family for the past eight years.
He said that Mrs. Driver is hard-workng,
honest woman, and that Freddie was
one of the best boys in the neighborhod.
A number of boys who live near by were
at the beach when the drowning occurred,
and all of them declare that the bathing
beach authorities did all In their power

Cleveland, O., July 9.-Jndge w. c.
ong, of the common pleas bench, today de-
clared the law prohibiting Sunday base
ball unconstitutional, ana the first Sun
day professional game Of baseball vii be
played in Cleveland next sunday between
the Cleveland and Washington teams .,he
case was appealed to the common pleas
court from the police cour /, aad JudgeUng's S
decision has been anXiously awaited.
The technical title of the case was Ohio
VS. John Powell, it being decided TO make
PitCaeI PowelI's arrest a test case for the
whole. nineteen arrests. In his 'iecissOn
Judge Ong, speaking OF the Sunday law,
says that its validity must rest on one Of
two pTedicates: II must either be unlawful
or an offense to play OF exhibit baseball on
Sunday because 1t is Sunday. or it must
rest, in order to be an offense, upon the
fact that it is an immoral game or exhibit
tion falling clearly within the police power
of regulation, aud therefore, n crime and
a violation of it's provision is punishable as
therein provided.
On these predicates the Judge argues that
as it is not unlawful or immoral tn play
baseball on Monday, the illegaiiuy comes
from the Sunday playing, which fact is in
clear violation OF the constitution Of
Ohio, because the doctrine is well set
tied that all statutes that refer TO the
first day of the week, commonly called
Sunday. are not enacted or enforced to
compel the observance OF that day as
day of religious worship, hut is a day set
apart by the statutes of Ohio as a DAY of
rest And while the court Is we'll aware
regarding the morality of the game, the
only other ground considered. the judge
declares that it cannot be contended that
baseball is immoral, and, therefore, under
police power or regulation.
The decision was received with glee by
thousands Of baseball enthusiasts
