The Outdoor Woman

II was doubtless a happy reaction
which took place last year from the
epidemic of boomers to more grace
iul and becoming cycling dress. which
lhcluded a skirt among its component
articles. Most people We're well pleased
with the change, and the costume now
worn by the better class of women
riders stands as quite a triumph in
evolution. The skirt is six or seven
inches shorter than that of a street
gown, and this length has been found
TO meet all requirements as to appear
ance, comfort and safety. But l should
like to say that there is little tenden-
cy now among a few people to go over
10 the other extreme, and wear on the
the wheel, as is commonly done in Eng
land, skirt of ordinary walking length.
Nothing could be more foolish than
such practice, the. dangers of which
have been set forth time and again in
accidents of various kinds If English
women choose to take such risks, that
IS no reason why we should feel OBLIGED
to initiate their recklessness. Keep the
skirt at the sensible, comfortable and
pretty length, which is at present the
most common one-or, mark a proph-
ecy-we shall have a not uniustifiable
lapse to the bloomer fever-Harper'S s

The ssPenuy Dreadful i'm Germany.

The penny dreadful is known IN
Germany as the "Schauderroman, ana
it appears there to produce the same
kind of inspiration on the boyish mind
as it does here. At SchWelm, lew
days ago, ten lads, aged from eleven to
nineteen, We're charged with series OF
burglaries and high-road robberies for
miles around. 1t appears that they
had been excited, by their common
study of the "shudder- Schin-
derhannes, to constitute themselves
into a band of robbers. Each youth
had adopted a robbers name, as the
Black Wolf" Antony Bears heart"
''Iron-fist," ''Sly-fox," "Falcon's-ey
and the like. Every member of the
band was sworn to loyalty upon the
dagger and the revolver of "the Chief"
The band, happily, had only four re-
volverS among the ten, and these We're
discharged at the police who tracked
them to their "cave," though without
hurt to the officers of the law. No
fewer than seventy keys We're found in
their possession.-NeW York Evening

Superstition is not extinct, even IN
enlightened England and among her
officials. The Council at Ampthill,
Bedfordshire, had under the law the
duty of finding a new water supply
Instead of taking into counsel science
and engineers, it employed a soothsayer
who went about with arms extended
and. coming to a standstill as if he had
been shocked by an electrical current
pointed downward and told them to
sink there, and they would find water
in plenty. Then the fellow presented
his bill and the board attempted to
pay it, but was restrained. 1t was
shown that if the officers bored where
the water-finding magician told them
they would sink into a stratum of OK
ford clay as deep as the earth may be
thick; that borings had been made in
that stratum to the depth of 100 feet
and not a drop of water found. The
objecting auditor was sustained, and
the fellow will not get his pay. Yet
that Council insists that it was a good
method of finding water, and is con-
fident that if it had been permitted to
go on with the work it would have
discovered springs enough to have sup
piled all England.

The Stockton MALI advances agairst
the Hawaiian annexation treaty the
puerile fear that if we absorb Hawaii
it will mean the annexation of Cuba.
1t adds:
The logic of one situation is the logic
of the other. The two cases are in all
respects on all fours. Thus we will
have in few years another weak link
in the long chain of national defense.
We viii have another territory 20 pro-
tect, one full of an alien people, for
eign to our manners, laws, customs. ira
ditions and speech. Once under our flag
the high spirit of the American people
Will insist upon their protection at any
cost. The result viii be the building
OF great fleets, the gradual change from
a peaceful nation to a military power,
the addition of enormous burdens of
taxation
This is begging and wildly specula-
tive. If there is anything logical about
either we fail to understand it. 1t is
not question of reason in demonstra-
ton nor of proof by stages of premise
and conclusion. 1t is simply a question
of political policy, neighborly kindness
and ordinary prudence. An independ-
ent but weak people on a group of
islands in the mid-Pacific, menaced viii
conquest by a strong Asiatic Power,
turns to the nearest Republic for pro-
lection, and desires to be annexed in
the form of a territory. We greatly
need on those islands a harbor of refuge
and naval station. Our commercial
relations are very close with that peo-
pie A sentiment of sympathy exists
between the two countries. each being
a Republic, and the lesser threatened
with domination by a monarchy In
the other case, Cuba is not yet free
1t is possessed by a foreign Power. It
is seeking independence. II not
only does not ask annexation to the
United States, but rejects any sugges-
ton of that order. The insurgents stand
for independence and the preservation
of the identity of Cuba, and in the
struggle for that end we synpathize
with the rebels. Cuba as an independ-
ency would be no menace to us. But
if it should seek closer relationship with
the United States it is q land of rich
resources, and has been an enormously
large contributor TO the revenues Of
Spain. 1t has all the capacity for self
support that a people can desire, and
they have demonstrated likewise their
capacity for self-defense and for mill
tary assertion of their rights during

A VOICE FROM CUBA.

A New York paper publishes extracts
from a private letter written by a resi-
dent in Cuba to friend in this country,
and with no thought of it's ever finding
its way into print. 1t was one friend
speaking in confidence to another. and
therefore it has the weight that at
taches to sincerity. The letter writer
says:
Speaking on this topic I think it high
time the United States did something
for this unfortunate country. Just as 1
am writing there stands before me a
young girl, about 8 years, who was
forced from her home in Quinia Miranda
by Spanish troops She lost her mother,
brothers (two) and sister, the troops
separating and the family being also
separated. Here are hundreds almost
dying of hunger, and nothing whatever
being done for them or pretended to be
done. Some rush out again to probably
be shot like dogs, and the women and
girls to a more shameful fate. 1t is
sickening. Speaking of the disgusting
and depraved barbarities" that are hap
pening daily, even hourly" this wit
ness adds: You yourself have witnessed
many things, so am not speaking to
one unacduainted with some states of
these affairs. You yourself, I believe,
saw the carloads of children taken to
Artemisa, being sold at auction. You
did not see anything of this line, as at
the time you were here pacificos still
lived out of town. Since then they have
all been driven into town, into a town
which was already almost starving to
death. God help us all if this does not
end mighty soon.
1t would seem in the light of such rev.
elations that it is full time that Spain
and Weyler should be called down.

But nothing of that kind is probable.
There is nothing to indicate that such
a contingency will ever arise.
Either by ex-Judge John r. Aitken, or
by the pretender to the wifeship of the
late Senator Fair, Mrs. Craven, rank
perjury has been committed in the ia
NOUS case now on trial in San Fran
cisco. 1t is indisputable that one OF
these two has testified under oath to
willful and carefully prepared lie. Mrs.
Craven, whosesno in this matter
is unenviable, being the proponent of
proposition involving Judge Aitken, has
the burden of lifting the veil of this per-
jured testimony. Judge Aitken on his
part occupies the attitude of one who
has seemingly no special interest in the
case on trial, and one who being ap-
preached to commit perjury, acceded
sufficiently to trap the proponent, and
then took the stand and gave the snap
away. Mrs Craven has sworn that III
the winter of 1895 she showed the deeds
to property purporting to be executed
by Fair to Judge Aitken and others.
II that is true, then the charge that the
Cooney acknowledgment to the deeds
is a forged document, or rather false
acknowledgment, because the blank
upon which it is made was not printed
until 1896, falls to the ground, and the
Craven woman's case is about made
But Judge Aitken on Thursday took the
witness stand and swore that he never
saw Mrs. Craven until July, 1896, that
he saw her then in her own rooms IN
San Francisco at her request and in the
presence of Martin Kelly, the politician,
and that these two offered him a bribe
OF five per. cent of the value of the
property involved if he would swear that
he saw and examined the deeds in ques-
ton in 1895 The Office of the law
should now be most vigorously asserted
to fix the perjury upon the guilty party,
and administer the severest penalty TO
the offender. This notorious case has
been fruitful of perjury from the out
set hut in no respect has an issue of
false testimony been so clear-cut as IN
this. If the guilty escapes punishment
after this latest disclosure of crime, 1t
will be Iarnentable indeed.
