A GREAT CAUSE DAMAGED.

The great cause of woman suffrage
has suffered some damaging blows
lately, and although 1t is still in the
ring 1T isn't in as good condition as 1t

the principal of the women's depart

of Evanston. She said publicly: 81 am

see that it is a question Of expediency

vote, but I am afraid the time Is fur
ago." OF course anybody who has more
important things than woman suffrage
to think about is as dangerous an enc
my as the cause could have. Another
damaging blow is that delivered by
Miss Phoebe Cousins, who seems to
think even less of the cause than Mrs
Miller does She is positive where Mrs
Miller is negative, and she goes back

she remarks that woman in public life

would prove a panacea for all of the

close observation and experience I have
come to the conclusion that women are
no better than men. After reviewing
the characteristics of men and women

that there are as many good women
as men in the world, and no more"

should be large, and ample Fairgrounds
should be provided. The building should
be isolated so that light could be al
lowed to enter all class rooms through
the windows. The proximity of other
buildings to most of our present schools
has shut out from the class rooms all
daylight, and the use of gaslight is re-
quired when a few clouds appear in the
Sky. This is damaging to the eyes of
the young scholars. The building should
also have freest ventilation because of
the number of human beings occupying
it, and should be large and airy. A
few more dollars spent by parents now
would result in better health for the
children in years to come"

SOME TEMPERANCE LEGISLATION.
The South Dakota legislators may
have known what they We're about
when they made the high license law
that has just taken effect in their State.
If they didn't know what they were
about somebody else evidently did 1t
is real curiosity in Temperance legis-
lation.''
While the new law provides that
wholesalers shall pay license fee of
$1,000, 1t declares that the sale Of any
thing less than five gallons shall not be
rated as selling liquors at wholesale.
When q dealer can sell as many five
gallon packages as he pleases without
being rated as wholesaler it becomes
an easy matter to avoid the payment of
the $1,000 license fee. All the retailing
saloons of the State must be conducted
in rooms with windows and glass doors
which are left unscreened by curtains,
paint or other concealing substance,
No partitions are allowed in the room
and chairs and. tables are ibanished. 1t
is said that a lot or~the. saloon keepers
in Deadwood have already prepared to
avoid this section by securing ham
mocks, which will be swung for the ac-
commodation of guests. 1t is provided
that all saloons must be located upon
public thoroughfares and so provided
with doors and windows that passers-
by may secure an unrestricted view of
the interior. 1t is particularly provided
that the bar must be so situated that
any one drinking at it shall be in full
view of the street.
The druggists are permitted under
the new law to sell liquor without IL
cense for medicinal, mechanical, scien-
tific or sacramento PURPOSES but not
as a beverage. They couldn't and prob
ably didn't ask for more freedom than
this and their customers wouldn't want
more. 1t will be interesting to see If
there is any complaint from South Da-
kota that rum isn't convenient The
rum drinkers Of that place must be
hard to suit If there Is.

princess line down the front is to trt-
umph. And as many girls as can tri-
umph are doing so now, though very
few are putting themselves into the
strictly princess gown. That is really
trying except to the beautiful heroine
in the novel.
Notifications of 1t are almost with
out exception very becoming. The tail
or-made models have seized upon this
princess line In front and with excel
lent effect, q s the accompanying picture
proves. Skirt and waistcoat are made
one in front-that is, the apron breadth
of the skirt extends, bib like, to at
least the bust line without break at the
waist. A regulation coat or an eton, if
the princess effect can be risked also
over the hips, is put on over, and above
the bib-top the regulation linen APP
pears. Or the coat may be modified and
cut into any sort of variation of the bo-
lero with skirt added fitting jauntily
over the hips and down at the back,
the princess front showing between the
rounded, pointed or overlapping layers
of the jacket edges. When the jacket
is thus modified the linen is replaced
by handsome fall of lace.
A stunning gown made along these
lines shows a princess front and a
iaunty jacket, one entire side of which
turns back into stunning lapel, show
ing an unbroken princess effect on that
side in the, under portion from collar
to skirt hem. On the other side the
jacket hangs loose, masking the severl
ity of the princess lines. Any of these
tailor notifications of princess are
charming. ELORETTE.

they are important if true, Many will
be inclined to think that there Is at
least some truth in some of them, but
of course few will be able to believe
that Sister Cousins speaks truly when

that women are no better than men,

"A curious problem in law and ethics
came up for solution the other day at
Hazleton, Pennsylvania. A man was
arrested there for practicihg medicine
without having been registered as the
law of Pennsylvania and most other
States requires. He confessed his guilt
and admitted that he was well ac-
quainted with, and approved of, the
regulation he had violated. Then he
proceeded to assert, and to prove by doc
llmentary evidence, that he had been
graduated from the Medical school of
the st. Petersburg University and had
practiced IA the Russian capital for
years. He was therefore quite eligible
for registration In this country, but on
reaching Hazleton he had found him
self penniless and without friends. At
ter he, his wife, and his three children
determined TO risk imprisonment in or
der to supply the wants of his family
and incidentally to earn enough money
to pay the registers fee. Immediate
denunciation and arrest followed. In
vestigation showed that the mans
story was true in every particular. His
wants were supplied and he is now
openly and successfully following the
profession the practice Of which had
made him a technical criminal.

Bicycle weddings are not the only
wedding freaks they have in England.
There has just been a wedding there in
which an animal tanner and his bride
were made one in the cages where a
couple of huge lions crouched at the
farther end. A photograph was taken
of the affair, and the bride and groom,
with the maid OF honor and the best
man, show mistily through the iron
bars, which were deliberately decorated
with white satin bows. The rest of the
bridal party-the parents. pages and
fiower-girls-are ranged in front of the
cage. The stalwart groom's right hand
rests on a huge king Of the forests
head, while on his left arm leans the
blushing bride, in all the glory Of white
satin, orange blossoms and misty veil.

COMPLICATIONS in CUBA
Weyler May Be Sent Home Under Ar
rest for Refusing to Surrender
Command to CastellanOs.
ORDERED TO DISDAND VOLUNTEER FORCE
Killing of General Castillo Will Prevent
Acceptance of Autonomy by Insur-
gents Betrayed by Cuban
Guide While Ill and Shot.

Havana, OCT. 28.-General Weyler has
been ordered by his government at Mad
rid to remain in Havana until General
Banco arrives. This may mean that
Weyler is to be sent home under arrest
for refusing to obey the order to sur
render his command to General Oastell
amos. General Weyler wanted to sail two
days before General Blanoo could reach
Havana, but that the heSpanish government
anticipates disturbance is evidenced by
the fact that telegraphed to General Wey-
Ter to disband the volunteer forces. The
colonels of the volunteers agreed to cable
Senior Moret expressing their indigna-
tion and stating that they would not be
responsible for the action of the men if
the news was conveyed to them.
The outgoing authorities struck a
heavy blow at autonomy by permitting
the killing of General Castillo. General
Castillo was betrayed by Cuban guide
and captured by Spaniards on last Fri
day, and was shot Monday morning. His
killing will sronse an intense desire for
revenge that will tend to prevent the ao
ceptance of autonomy by the rebels.
General Castillo was ill with fever when
the guide betrayed him.

PREFERS SERIOUS SPECIFIC CHARGES

Their High Places-Van Wycks
Star Speech Was Composed of
80 Commonplace Words.

New York, Oct. 28.-Henry George is
supplying the greater part of the ''gn-
ger" in the municipal campaign. His al.
legations touching the integrity of the
recognized chiefs of both of the leading
parties are exciting wide interest, though
they are met by those most directly con
cerned with a showing of Indifference.
The most specific of Georges allega-
tions are: That Roger A. Prior paid
Richard Croker $4,000 for q judgeship;
that $4,000 was paid for seat upon the
bench for Judge Ingraham, and that
other judicial offices were made the OBJ.
ject of barter, by so-called political
bosses.
A categorical denial has been made by
the judges involved.
The only exception to the rule of volu-
bility among the may yorality candidates is
Van Wick, whose ''star" speech. delivered
last night before the Independence Hail
Democrats, was limited to 30 words of
commonplace ackn owledgmeLt of the
