A Mn,ter of Imnortnnce.

The business men of this city and Beau
fort and the people living along the coast
between these cities, are protesting Wig
orously against the delay in improving
wrghts river and RAMS Horn Creek The
contract for this work was let several
months ago, but thus far little or nothing
has been done towards making the inland
route navigable.
Work has been begun on the bar at the
junction OF Rams Horn creek and New
River, but for some reason or other It is
being prosecuted very slowly. with a
good dredging machine the work at either
entrance to the creek should have been
completed by this time.
The public interests require that some
action in this matter should be taken at
once. The contractors should be com
PEELED 10 complete the work as quickly as
possible or give up the job.
The work at the entrance TO wrlghrs
river should also be pushed vigorously The
only channel that is now available is that
inside the jetties. and 81 is gradually hn-
ing up because Of the dumping of material
dredged from the Savannah river a year or
so ago. II is only a question OF a few
months when II will be closed entirely
Something should be done, and done
quickly to keep the inland route open,
and thus protect an important part Of
the commerce and mercantile interests
Of this city.

Miss CaIdweII and Mr. He,inr.

Miss Jane Caldwell. who describes her
self as "one Of Boston's 5000 old
maids" gave Postmaster Hesing, candi-
date for mayor the most uncomfortable
half hour to-day he ever experienced,
says a Chicago special to the st. Louis
Globe-Democrat. The scene was a wo-
mans meeting in Willard hall. While
Miss Caldwell was speaking Hesing en-
tered the half She said:
1T was here in this Christian city that
that man Iiesing, who wants to be your
mayor, had the audacity to say that the
extravaganza of woman had taken as
many men to the prison cell as whisky.
1 think when Mr. Hesing said that he
must have been unbalanced to a little de-
gree by some Of the wine himself. 1 have
been wearing my clothes for two sea-
sons, and l want to say that when Mr..
Hesing says it keeps the men busy buy
ing women's clothes, no man had TO pay
for mine. Then he attacks US because
we would not tell our ages. I want to
thank God that the women of America
have enough sense not to tell their ages.
/ warn every woman here, from this day
on, never to reveal her years.
And so Mr. Hesing is here said Miss
Caldwell. well, 1 am glad of it. l want
ed him to get my opinion of him, and now
he has got it, let us hear what he has to
say for himself"
Mr.. Hesing arose: st want to say that
l did not intend to make an attack on
woman, nor did / make one. l do stand
by my declaration, however, that 81 per
cent. of the married men in Joliet are
there because of the extravaganza of
their wives That was told to me by
man who had been a clerk there for
twenty years, and / guess he ought to
know. l have not attacked women in
saying this. It is simply facts that 1
give you. [ am not responsible for them,
because they are true. You cannot blame
me. 1t is with respect 1 speak of
women"
Miss Caldwell at this, leaped from her
seat and shouted "Amenr' three times.
This Disconnected Mr.. Hesing for mo-
ment, and he stood looking at the woman
from Boston, while she gazed back with
a Svengali stare.
Il am no enemy of temperance" then
declared Mr. Hesing.
Even So" shouted Miss Caldwell.
Shut up!' Put her outr' roared the
crowd.
You won't shut me up" shouted Miss
Caldwell in return
This caused pandemonum to break
forth, and Miss CASTOR FASTENED to de-
clare that Miss caldwell was no Chicago
woman, or she would not interrupt the
speaker.
mo, thank God, 1 am not a Chicago
woman" shouted Miss Caldwell.
Get out!' roared the crowd
well, l VIII so. 1 guess, however,
that even though l retire, my brains and
intelligence are equal to any Chicago
womans."

The Immigration NH.
From tho Philadelphia Record CDem.

Happily, President Cleveland's attack OF
govt did not so disable him that he was
prevented from sending TO congress a
veto Of the iniquitous immigration bill.
That bill covered a reversal Of the con-
slant policy OF the republic. and was In
effect a reputation Of the Declaration OF
Independence. The right of men born
into the world 20 go about In Il Is funda-
mental. IL President Cleveland had done
no other act TO commend him 20 the graf
itudo of his party and the confidence OF
his feilow-men everywhere this veto
would insure him both.

Inc very latest plum in the gift of the
new administration is the post of consul
general at London. The Office is sus-
tanned by fees, and the income is larger
than that of two or three ambassador
ships combined, and at at same time the
incumbent is not required by custom to
give costly social functions. 1t is said
this delicious plum will be given to Will
liam Mckinley Osborne, a cousin of the
President who went through school and
the war with him.

Oh. a home is terrible handicap
To a soul that fam would be free;

But il shall never shackle me.

In the same old rounds each day,

And a lunch at a chance cafe.

For / haven't a place to go;
And early or late, no meals / mar,
For I'm dining alone, you know.
The hands of the clock l never chase,
For / drift in an easy way
Since l sleep in a transient lodging-place
And lunch at a chance cafe.
A brother of mine-I loved him WE'LL
Went wrong in his early years,
For he married and bought him a place to
dwell
ooh, the thought of it brings me tearsD
And there he has lived-what a pitiful
easel
And there he will likely stay.
While / sleep in lodging-place
And lunch at a chance cafe.
I sometimes think OF his wife and child,
And the vine at his cottage door.
While / dream of the perfect lips that
smiled
But they smile for me no more.
And 1 muse, If the saint with the angel
face
Had answered me Yes that day.
Would l sleep in a transient lodging-place
Or lunch at a chance CATER

What enchanting ideas our large shops
are showing in shoes for evening wearl
No former year showed as dainty an
output, and no woman can now be abso-
lutely chic as to evening gowns unless
her footgear is charming.
A recent idea is having the evening
shoes to match the gown in color. To
have them fashioned even of a portion
of the gown which they are intended to
accompany, if the material is available
for this purpose.
But then, this outlay is much beyond
the normal purse string, and there are a
variety Of novel creations on the mar
ket which wiH half a dozen
gowns and look we'll with all.
Take for example a pretty pair of
dancing slippers which were shown to
me yesterday. They were III soft Russia
leather, of pale saffron tint with fiat bow
Of amber colored ribbon and small yell
low buckle TO hold the ribbon in place.
The heel was of the pretty modified type
seen SO much at present date. The price
was s5-the usual cost of a really good
thing in the line. Affairs of this kind
would look well with any light gown.
AT IS also come shapeiy suggestions
In bronze leather. These have artistic
French decoration in gilt and steel beads
with dark ribbon bow and steel buckle.
They come also plain.
The aat-toed patent leather shoe which
was the rage last year is little seen.
The patent leather slipper Of he hour
has well rounded or pointed toe with
small black ribbon bow and steel buckle.
