clubs OF it own. The followin, anus

prof Of their rigid exc.usiven.ss, at
neither cub are men callers permitted
to enter the premises. But this policy
may be influenced by other motives. By
excluding men the advanced woman
may be avenging herself for centuries Of
untold oppression. Fortunately these
tactics are not universal. There are
clubs where to!erating liking for the

as a remedy for the evil complained of, that officers of the customs along the Mexican border be furnished by the board with a supply of tags of a style and color different from those used on the American hides, for at taching to all hides imported from Mexico. The chairman adds that it is but the work of an instant to at tach these tags; that they will remain on the hides until they leave the ter ritory; that they will be the means of identifying all imported hides, and may possibly bring to light the cases of smuggling, as hides found untagged would be subject to Investigation.
 ''The department favors the plan suggested by the chairman and upon reports received from the collectors along the frontier, it appears that the plan is considered feasible and good one and unattended by any expense to the government. You are, therefore, instructed to make acquisitions upcn the chairman of said board for a sup ply of such tags and upon receipt thereof to furnish the same to the in- spectors of your district with direc- tions to attach them to all hides inn ported into your district from Mexico.

THE HARP CONCERT.

Certainly Miss Mabel Ava Messen- ger mus have felt highly ftattered last evening when she looked out upon the large and fashionable audience which filled the auditorium of the cp- era house; still more to be called SO heartily to respond at the close of each number. ArtisticaIy, Miss Mes senger's performance on the harp was complete success. The young lady was on the programme for two num- bels and was obliged to respond to a second encore, in each instance ex- ecuting familiar airs so exquisitely that her hearers seemed never to have enough of the sweet and melodious music, so rarely heard. It is not say ing too much in giving to Miss Mes senger the credit of having thoroughly mastered the instrument. Miss Roselyn Madden Sargent's singing of the Polka Chantante'' was indeed re- freshingly rendered, and in response to generous applause the lady sang a verse of Scotch air In the chorus, List!

THE END OF THE WAR.
A Work of Reform Suddenly Sus-
 pended.

The war declared last Sunday night against men who are supported by women to whom they are not married came to a preoipitate end last night The campaign opened ausp ciously. Three subjects were easily convicted the first day. But yesterday after- noon the case of Chambers, the big fish in the net, was taken up. The court was crowded largely with his sympathiZers. It was shown early in the session that he was not a person of Punitanic morals. That he was ac- cuStomed to visit places where he ought not to go. This was admitted by his attorney, who claimed, how ever, that he was not guilty of the particular kind of cussedness he, was charged with and there was offered in evidence on his behalf a rubber medicated bath apparatus. The wit nesses for the pros ecution were Off, cers Molfoy, Doheney, Porlerie and Galpin, who manipulated the net in which Chambers and the others were gathered. The debate between the | counsel for the defense and these wit nesses was at all times unchris ian in spirit and at times, indeed, acri- monious
 The witnesses for the defense knew ! next to nothing of the matter. They | had been surprised to s:e as much as ] had been voluntarily presented of the shady side of Chambers life. But the defense relied wholly on the theory that Chambers by the sale of medicated | baths had earned his own liv- l ing. Ergo, he was not of necessity l supported by a woman. Recorder 1 Jobs took this view of the case and | discharged the defendant.
 Then Officer Molloy arose in indig- nation and declared that the battle l for decency had ended in defeat. He would decline to appear against other persons arrested on this charge and
 would studiously avoid arresting any more- He declared, and his declara-
 tion was supported by the other off
 cers, that the hobos would be given the run of the uown. They would be
 arrested no more for merely getting hungry and they would be moles ed
 for nothing short of commi tttng a dis turbance. It would hencefor h be the
 policy of the police to restore. order
 and not to prevent disorder. They
 said they would continue to look ou
 for thieves and those who menace lifs
 and property, and not for those who
 only annoy folks by their press nee or
