The Irritating Frou-Frou
 Of SiIken Petticoats

Just at this moment when silken petti- coats are within the reach of almost every woman who imagines she is fashionable, the papers are publishing interviews with the modistes, the swellest of whom say that since rustling silken petticoats may be found on bargain counters, swelldom can- not afford to wear them.
 This late wrinkle Is not due to modistes exclusively. for the decree is said to have gone forth at the meting of the state fed eration in Denver. brilliant club mem Der was intrrupted in her speech by the swish of hundred petticoats, and a mo- tion was made to instruct club members to leave their silken petticoats at home. The club women of Alabamas S sister state, ing arose to question of personal prvi- lege and other club women are discussing the absorbing topic.
 And now Redfern, the fashionable author ity. syas:
 "Rustling skirts are bad form. All Innings and pettfcoats are now made of the softest silks. Even in underskirts the clinging ef- feet is the vogue.
 "A woman's petticoat is now one of the most important garments of her wardrobe. It must be fitted with the same care as her tailor bodice. Owed the hips it must 1t her hgure like aglove, and not begin to flare until the knees are reached. It often re- quires from two to three fittings, for unless it is faultless in fit the outer skirt will not be perfection. And this seasons dress skirt, made as 1t is, with no seam at the back, must have it's petticoat an exact counterpart of itself, for every shirr and wrinkle beneath would be plainly visible in the skirt proper.
 "All he new petticoats lack stiffness. Feather bone is no longer used, and even corded rufffes are out of date. But the underskirts are more lavishly trimmed than ever before.
 "For street wear the same slk which forms the skirt is used as the trimming 1t is put on in groups of ruff1es, or in ruch- ings Many of the pettisoats are also trim

TO CALL FOR GUARANTEE.
Meeting of the Western Association in
Peoria Wednesday.

President j. Stanley Browne has
called meeting of the Western Base
ball association to be held at Peoria
Wednesday of this week. The pur-
pose of the gathering is to call on each
town that expects to retain its fran
chise to put up $500 guarantee to
stick to the end of the season. Ar
rangements will also be made for the
preparation of schedule, duty that
will probably be assigned to a COM
mittee.
Rock Islands guarantee money isnot
vet raised. The officers of the club
have not met with the encouragement
they should, and unless in the coming
few days the people respond more
genel ously to their solicitations they
will abandon the project to which they
have so earnestly devoted their time.
Surely Rock Island does not wa.t to
quit at this stage of the game, and it
is hoped the necessary funds will be
at once forthcoming.
The Tri-City Railway company this
afternoon gave $500 to the club.

East to Do Some Plum Picking-Possi-

simmons-Jenries Meet.
I James j. Corbett and kid" Mccoy
! for a 10-round contest is the card
which Jack Leonard expects to bill
before the Tri-City Athletic club at
Davenport within six weeks. The
manager and matchmaker passed
through Chicago yesterday on his way
to New York for the purpose of clos
ing negotiations with the ex-cham-
pion. Mccoy has already given
Leonard's consent to match him
against any man in the world. Leonard
now strenuously denies that he has
given up the promoting game at Da-
venpOrt and says that all rumors to
that effect are false.
According to Leonard, the boxing
game there is in healthier condition
now than ever before and a movement
has been started by some of Daven-
ports prominent men to found club
something on the lines of the Chicago
Athletic association.
1t looks like a positive cinch that
| will get Corbett's consent to come to
Davenport and meet Mccoy there in
April for Il 10-round contest said
Leonard to a Chicago Record report
er. This limit would be long enough
to settle which is better and it may
prove enough for one of the\ contest
ants to stay on the canvas until after
the limit. Yet it protects the Tri-
City Athletic club from adverse criti
cism which would result if a 20 or 25-
round contest between men of Me-
Coy's and Corbett's standing were ar
ranged. / have been negotiating with
Corbett for some time, and | feel that

Thinks Mccoy VIII Win.
Mccoy is now on the Pacific coast,
where he is to meet ice Choynski for
a 20-rouud bout. | heard from him
only few days ago. OF course, con-
siderable depends upon the result of
this contest, because if Mccoy meets
defeat he would hardly draw as we'll
as if he defeats Choynski. l hardly,
however, think that Mccoy has much
to fear from the Californian in the
cOnulIlOn InaJ tnc latter Is IN now,
and winning over him will cause Just
that much more interest to the meet
ing between the Kid and Corbett
Davenport and two or three sur
rounding towns would contribute at
least 1000 spectators, and with the
Chicago delegation l am sure the ven-
ture could be made a paying one"
Leonard also said that two prelimi-
nary bouts of 10 rounds each between
the best local men would be arranged
for the same night.
1t is said the coming battle between
Fitzsimmons and Jeffries is one of the
plums Leonard has in mind. Leonard
can afford to offer, it is claimed, as
large purse as anybody in the coun-
try, with may be the exception of the
LenOX Athletic club. Now that Lou
Houseman' Blue Island venture with
its 20-round glove fights is in the air,
