The public have been wishing for the time to arrive when they could read in the society columns of the city papers of the uses to which these implements were put; of the development of the muscles of the society leaders, and the days of waiting are about over.
 One of the things that has retarded the opening of the club has been a spir- tied debate on the subject of the club bar. There were those of the lady mem bers who were averse to the selling of strong drink in the clubhouse, while others insisted that if the club was to. ranl2wfth representative clubs of the city bar was necessity; in fact that club without high balls, cocktails, 3 "gin fzzes," etc, would be such back number that they would not care to add their patronage to it.

They, themselves, will be allowed to purchase limited number of drinks after a plunge in the beautiful tiled baths. But the price demanded is a doctors certifi- cate to the effect that such intoxicants are needed. The barlseeper will be in structed to sell only to those who come prepared with such prescriptions, and drinks will not be served to minors un- der any circumstances. It. is thought that this last regulation will have a strong tendency to retard the business of the bar for the ladies prefer to be elassed as too young to be permitted to drink
 It is intimated, however, that for those who desire his services a doctor will be in attendance at all hours. and that the price of prescriptions will be moderate

What tales of woe the alder man would have to listen to; what abuse he would have to take; what stir ring speeches would echo through the hall of his office as his constituents de- manded their right and the equivalent of the taxes they were paying.
 But could not this service be secured at less expense to the taxpayers? Are there 1f6t sufficient number of men who would undertake to listen to the woes of an entire ward for, say. $4,000 a year? We believe there are, and that the expenditure of the extra $1,o00 n year is q useless waste of the peoples money which should not be counte- nanced.
 It is said that some of the Chicago al- dermen are making plans for the ex- penditure of this additional salary, and are expressing sympathy with the county board over the fact that they could get but Q raise of $1 ,0o0 year, and had to vote themselves that,

To remedy this evils he proposes that the city provide its policemen with suits of armor as a protection against the jeers and strong language of the citi- zens and small boys. He would have him eneased in a suit of mail with a spiked helmet and broadsword when he goes forth to battle for the peoples rights, or to quen the disturbance caused by a dog fight.
 But the policeman, what does he think of this interest in him? Does he accept this regard for his interest and bodily welfare in the spirit in which it is offered, or is he inclined to be skep- ticaI? From the opinions expressed by those whom we have interviewed on the subject we should judge that he is inclined to be skeptical. They say that a policeman is in no special danger, so long as he keeps out of the way of trou- ble; that they have become used to abuse and strong language, and do not mind it. Again, they would like to know whether Alderman Smulsli is in terested in the manufacture of the ar nor or not, and what the expense will be to them.

West side of the city a number of friends, men of means and influence, connected with various manufacturing interests, have dined together for a year or more each day. One of these men looks very much like Mayor Har- rison, and, noting the resemblance, his friends, in a jocular way, began calling him 'the mayor" After six months of that they began to intimate that they believed he would make good city ex- ecutive, and when they found the little bee had found lodgment in his hat they kept it up Every day he would be consulted on municipal questions, and his Judgment was always applauded.
 In this way the bee was nurtured and grew in strength. The mayor" did not always wait for his opinion to be asked. From the unassuming citizen he be. came first the critical taxpayer, then the dictator. The friends, finding amusement for themselves, fattered him; urged him to seek the nomination at the spring conventions, saving the city needed a strong man in the mayors office.

permit the young men from Chicago to spend their Sundays with them, and any resort that can offer young men as an attraction, even though it be but for one day in each week, is sure to be popular with the girls.
 But the girls lose half their interest when out of style, and since MT. Dag gett, of the Wisconsin legislature, pro- poses to regulate the fashions in this state and places a bar on the slender figure that Dame Fashion says must be cultivated by tight lacing if the dear girls wish to be In style, the girls have revolted, and it now behoeves the hotel proprietors of the resorts to labor ear nestly with Mr. Daggett and his col- leagues.
 If MT. Daggett but wishes to protect the natural beauty of the subtle forms of the nymphs of the Wisconsin woods he should make declaration of his in- tentions, and in such case the Chicago young ladies would undoubtedly with draw their opposition to his proposed legislation. It isnot believed they would in any way seek to retard the enact ment of law that would place rival at disadvantage, and any legislation that would prevent the wearing of what is considered proper stays by the Wis consin belles would be looked upon in this light On the other hand, the courts might object and decide against in favor of the Wisconsin beaus.

The meeting of the National Association
of Afro-American Women in Chicago this
week was most notable one, bringing
together as it did the best brains among
them And the manner in which they
transacted their business was calculated
to commend them to the respect. of all
fair-minded people, and must be produc-
tive of much good. AS in all large gather
ings of like nature there will usually
arise some differences, and this meeting
was no exception to the rule, but the
good done must so far outweigh these
little things that we can afford to pass
them in silence, and find nothing but
words of praise to say of our noble wom

lima they are $50 unanimous that it is

The greatest hindrance to the prosperity

the labor unions, which she ascribes to
business jealousy and racial prejudice
But she thinks both of these strong fac

ing Afro-American newspaper publish
ed and has the largest circulation of any
paper Of it's class.
More than thirty attempts have been
made to publish Afro-American papers
in Chicago since the advent of The APP
peal, but all have failed There is but
one other Afro-American paper publish
ed in the city.
The Appeal has succeeded because it
is the peoples paper. 1t is not publish
ed in the interest of any particular clan
or clique, but is the organ Of all Afro
Americans.
The Appeal has never claimed to be an
illustrated paper, yet as a matter of alb
solute fact, it has every week, for years,
printed more illustrations than any so

in the matter of marriage the two people
who are the high contracting parties

were giving an exhibition in London, and
the bride in question was not the only
one who was smitten with the dusky
warriors. A very large number of those
who attended the exhibition were women

cultivate their attention, and but for the
difficulty of making themselves under

who were just wild about them. We be-

not be abridged. How would those who
