Reflections of a Bachelor.

STYLE is born in a woman and born
on man.
A woman without any religion is just
as impossible thing as baby with
out any safety-pins.
When girl jilts one man and marries
another both men ought to consider
themselves lucky. One gets the girl he
wants, and the other finds out she
wasn't the girl he wanted.
A woman never opens letter with
strange hand writing on it till she has
looked at the postmsrk and had three
guesses with herself who on earth
could have written her from there

YANKEE SHOES IN ENGLAND.
A TRADE YET IN IT'S INFANCY, BUT LIKELY
TO GROW.
TO GROW.

In the invasion of Germany by the American
hog, and of England by the Texas steer there
has never been anything really wonderful when
! it is remembered that both the hog and the
steer in the nature of raw material But
considering how much pride English manufact-
urers have always taken in their thorough work
( manshp, and how, in particular, the English
/ boot has been in manner looked UP to all over
the continent of Europe and far beyond it for
much more than a century, it must be a little
surprising to conservative Britishers to see as
they do nowadays. American shoes advertised
in the London papers.
OF course there are particular reasons for this
apart from the general and patriotic reason that
American things destined to get to the front
everywhere. A little talk with a Wholesale shoe
exporter tends to produce the impression that
the only wonder is that the American shoe has
not literally walked all over Great Britain long
ago, not that it is beginning to get a foothold
there now.
"Of course" the exporter admits the Ameri-
can shoe trade in England is yet N its infancy
1t ought not to be, because we long ago had the
resources to compete successfully with their
manufacturers. Remember that England is a
free trade country. Shoes enter without paying
any duty.
Nov, why is it that shoes have not sold
well in the English market heretofore? There
are three principal reasons. To begin with
those which entirely to our dscredit our
manufacturers have been blind and agents
have been dishonest. We have ignored the pref
erences of English customers in the matter of
lasts, and the American drummers over there
have thought it smart to show samples which
were much better than their stock The Eng
lish think that they need a wider last with a
higher instep, than we favor in this country /
think myself that the English foot is stouter
ard higher in the instep than ours, as a rule
But whether ii is or not is business of the
man who undertakes to supply their market; |
L they want that style of shoe ii is good bus- |
ness policy to produce it, and just as easy. Then
IT is the ma ture of the people to take intense
prejudicea il the matter of business honesty.

II man succeeds in cheating Englishman
once that mans cousin, if he happens to bear
a family resemblance to him, Will never sell
goods to the same Englishman, not if he devOtes
lifetime to trying. There is the whole thing
in nutshell: The American shoe drummer of a
former generation taught the English retailer
to suspect American shoes.
well, those two obstacles have been overcome
to a great extent. The chief remaining difficulty
has been the obstinacy of the English them
selves in their belief that their feet so ut

ference there is amounts to no more than the
difference between the typical New-EnSland
foot and the Southern foot and the English are

the American shoe in England. you see. In
style and finish we easily beat anything in the

STREET CARS ON DALE STREET.
1t is a remarkable circumstance that
except the Seventh street lines there is
no direct means whatever Of communica-
tion between the northerly and southerly
portions of the city. In the principal resi-
Dental district, represented by the Sew
enth and Eighth wards, there is no means
Of communication by public conveyance
save those running east and west The
need of d cross-town street railway sys-
tenn has been long recognized by all resi-
dents of that vast section of the city
Some time ago Mr. Peet brought UP
in the Chamber Of Commerce the subject
of improving and boulevarding Dale street
from Summit to Como boulevard, in order
TO secure q desirable drive uniting the St.
Anthony hill with Como park. The propo-
sition has not, we believe, been acted
u2on and will probably be found to be
oren to the objection that 1t is Gun
tennpIated public improvement limited IN
scone and designed fer the convenience Oh
a limited class in the community VIZ:
Those who live in the vicinity of Summit
avenue, and have private Vehlc'ss Ii
which they may drive to the park.
Since Dale street is to some extent de-
signed and is admirably situated as an
artery of travel to and from the park IN
connection with Como boulevard, why
would it not be in every sense pnOHc
and private convenience of some mag'h-
t,de +o establish a street car line on that
street connecting the lines which run On
Grand selby, University and Como ave-
nues Such line, running from FledS-
ant avenue along Dale street to the pafA'
would not only be a splendid means o.
communication for the people Of that en-
tire section with Como park, but would
furnish the facilities row so badly need
ed for cross-town street car service.
The subject is certainly one which adj
mits of discussion Such a line will be
nearly, if not quite, self-supporting from
the outset. It will certainly meet an
urgent public requirement and will be
especially acceptable to the residents of
the hill, both in connection with the park
and as medium of cross-town tr&yel
Such line will probably be established
without much opposition if the residents
Of the Seventh and Eighth wards take the
matter seriously in hand. There is
demand for such a line. All that is need
ed is that the demand shall find tangible
serious and concerted expression on the
part of those who will be most benefited
by it..

RAD IN MORALS.

Ihose who have any knowledge what
ever Of the legal business of the civ
and the manner of doing 1t for the MAST
ten or fifteen years need not be remind.
ed that Mr.. Henry J. Horn has always
been regarded as having especial ability
and knowledge in professional wav.
Which rendered his services peculiarly
valuable to the city in legal controver-
sizes involving the relative rights of the
city.
In what IS known as the Jackson
street levee controversy there is no one
who will deny that as special counsel
for the CITY Mr.. Horn was very srocaes
ful' and his assistance was of great re,
cunlary value. The success of that liti-
cation was largely, if not entirely. due
to his superior knowledge and ability.
1t does not admit of question that Mr.
Horn was and is entitled morally to a.
fair compensation for those services a.
timated on the basis of their value to the
city and of the difficulty and labor In
volved. Yet the contrary proposition
seems to be laid down in the decision
just rendered by the supreme court The
majority of that body, so far as NAV
De judged from the press reports. has
decided that there existing no authority
under the charter to engage the serv-
ices OF Mr. Horn, he cannot recover the
value Of his services from tho city.
Such a decision may be good In law.
but it is decidedly bad in morals. There
is no denial, as the G 10 b Q understands
of tie hiring of M. Horn to act as spo-
cial counsel, nor of his special fitness
for just such work, nor of the recognf-
ton by municipal authority of such fit
ness, nor Of such fitness having been the
Immediate motive of his engagement. nor
Of the value Of the services rendered. The
claim is that. there being no specific au-
thority under the statute to hire Mr..
Horn, ne should not be paid.
An individual going into court with
such defense would naturally be looked
at askance by the court, and if his case
ever reached jury very short work
would be made of 1t. There would be
little of liberation extended to the in
dividual litigant that put it forward.
But it is not an individual who puts
forward such defense in this case. 1t
Is rich and powerful municipal cornor-
alton. And it interposes the defense
against the claim of one of its own
citizens.
1t may well be that there was no other
recourse for the city attorney but to
contest this claim on the ground chosen.
Certainly the success of the plea creates
the presumption that the city attorney
did his em,ire duty IN putting the plea

CONFERENCE COMMITTEE.
First Meeting. Was Devoid of II Ma
terial Result.


| KANSAS CITY, Mo-, July 5.-The COM
mittees appointed by the Democrats, the
| Populists and the silver Republicans, to
| confer upon the nomination Of a vice
presidential candidate, held their first
| conference tonight at o'clock. Senators
Tfllman and Martin and Mr.. George Fred
| Williams were present on behalf of the
Democrats; Hon. r. NJ. Patterson, Sena-
tor Pettigrew, Mr.. BreidenthaI, of Kan
sas; Gen. Weaver, Hon. ]. r. Sovereign
| and Dr. Taylor for the Populists, and
Senator Teller, Hon. Charles Hartman
and Mr.. Ransom, Of Nebraska, for the
silver Republicans.
The entire meeting was devoted to a
representation to the Democratic repre-
| sentatives by the other conferees of the
availability of Mr.. Towne rs a candidate.
Mr. Patterson spoke for the Populists,
and Senator Teller for the silver Repub-
licans.
Mr.. Patterson presented a carefully pre-
pared statement showing that there were
seven or eight states which Mr. Towne's
nomination would make sure for the
Democratic ticket and which would not
! otherwise be sure. Senator Teller stated
that Mr.. ToWne was to all intents and
purposes a Democrat, and said that
Towne would have joined that party two
years ago but for the representations Of
Mr.. Bryan and Chairman Jones that he
could be of greater service TO the common
cause by remaining a silver Republican.
Senator Tillman and Mr.. Williams ex-
pressed themselves satisfied with the rep
resent lions, and said they were willing
to support Mr. Towne.
Senator Martin said he had been very
favorably impressed, but committed him
self no further.
The conferees separated with the under
| standing that other meetings would be
held If deemed necessary.
