MORAL AS EYER.

It is related that the women's clubs
 of California are considerably stirred
 up over a decision made by an Oakland
 judge to the effect that a husband is under no obligation to stay at home evenings, or to tell his wife where he
 has spent his time.
 We suppose that this means no legal
 obligation. Probably no judge would
 sit on the bench and solemnly say that
 a. husband is under no moral obligation
 to stay at home evenings or to tell his
 wife where he has spent his time.
 Therefore we do not see that the wo-
 mems clubs in California do we'll to be stirred up by this decision. We do not suppose that the women's clubs of Cal ifornia would try to maintain that a man is under any legal obligation to be at home evenings or to tell his wife where he is when he isn't at home. But they know that a man is under moral obligation to do those very things and a man knows it, too. The decision of the Oakland judge doesn't alter the real situation. No man in California will stay out more evenings on account of it or tell any more lies to his wife than he did before. Love and fear will still be the motives that keep Calfor- mia men at home evenings just as they have been. The decision will therefore have no more effect than would a de- cision by judge that woman is un- der no legal obligation to sweep the dirty sidewalks with her long trailing gown. A woman feels under a moral obligation to do it. and that settles it. The women of California will continue to be as able to enfore the moral obli- gation of a man to stay at home even- ings and tell the truth as they ever were.

For nowadays the conditions of theatrical management on a large scale are so costly and precarous, the sala- ries of actors have increased of late years by such an enormous percentage, the working staff required for heavy productions is so numerous, that one needs continuous success on the largest scale if one is to produce Shakespeare protitably year after year.

 I thoroughly believe in corporations and trusts as instruments of progress. but not in trusts and corporal tions with out souls.
 On the other hand, throughout this country the judges as a class are a high grade, conscientious and impartial set of men, with ideals as high and well lived up to as the ministry or any other profession, The writer respects them generally and believes that Connecti- cuts bench is up to, if not above the average. In the courts of this class of judges the poor man can trust his cause with perfect assurance whether pitted against corporation or private party, and this is said because true and not because the bench as such is above crit icism.

 SLAUGHTER OF CARIBOU.

The Red Deer of Newfoundland Killed by the Hundreds, and Yet Their Num- Der Does Not Grow Less.
 | Newfoundland is probably the only | country in the world where venson. | salted or fresh, is q staple article of food for the masses during the winter
 months. When one recalls the rhapso- dies of poets and novelists of the olden times over the ''haunch of venison, ' and the pleasure of the chase, the mat ter-of-fact manner in which the island hunter goes about the work of procur- ing winters supply of deer meat
 seems prosaic in the extreme. At th's writing hundreds of poor settlers are
 traversing the uplands of the interior,
 stalking the caribou, and salting down
 and barreling away the flesh for the support of themselves and their fami-
 lies All through the great northern bays this provision is being stored for the coming five months, when it shares with the all-prcvailing codfish the duty of keeping alive the fisher folks who are cut off from the outer world by the i'm penetrabe ice barrier which covers the

 Newfoundland is the home of the car- ibou, and in countless herds they roam through it's interior Foreign sports men are every year visiting us in great CT numpeis, and our fame as a hunt ing ground grows in the United States and England These sportsmen, and latterly women, too, kill their three to eight deer each, but their bags do not apprecably diminish the size of the herds. and what they kill is only tithe of the number destroyed by the settlers. Although this killing has continued for years the best authorities say the cari- bou are to-day as numerous as eyer, for

FASHION NOTES.
TaiIors Turning Out Fine Feathers

Dressy tailor gowns rank higher than usual this winter. That is, they may be worn at more dressy occasions than in the past. They deserve classification as fine feathers. Your perfection tailor made is absolute as to fit and cut, taste full as to decorations and colors, and when the bill comes in it's a wonder that women don't want to wear them among evening toilets. Many of them are very freely trimmed, but there is no need of this, for those made less elaboratly are quite as handsome, and it is not the best of taste to suggest richness in the tailoring. AS to the amount of garniture there need be no difference between the dress-up and the

loaded through the muzzle, and where the hunter is ill-supplied with bullets he uses slugs of lead, fragments of iron, pieces of old nails and such refuse. The effect of charge like this upon a herd of deer it is not difficult to imag- inc. For the one killed three or four are wounded more or less severely, and make their way into the forest maybe to die, perhaps eventually to- recover. It often happens that deer is killed, and when being cut up, pieces of these brutal charges are found imbedded in its flesh, the results of previous en- counters with its destroying enemy.
 Few American sportsmen now re- main in the island, as the winter is at hand, and no one wants to be showed in. But all who came this fall are well satisfied wth'the result of their visit, and have secured splendid antlers as trophies of their prowess.-Correspon ence of the Toronto Mail and Empire.

utilitarian sort They are otherwise differentiated absolutely, this by the length of the skirt The street sort must be short to meet the fashions. Exquis- ties insist that the trailing sort implies a carriage and that street car does not warrant their wear. Given the car riage, and the skirt may be as long as this pictured one. Then it is suited for fine company.
 Biscuit cloth was used in this one, bias brown cloth folds trimming it.. Stitching appeared on triple epaulettes lit seems as if stitching must come in somewhere. As to the colors of such suits, there is no settled rule. Reds, browns and even grays are used, though one sees so many gray gowns that plainly are old that it Is wonder the color is so often chosen for the new suit. Blacks are abundant, too and with glossy satin-like surface and with white neck finish are handsome. There is sense in the delcately smooth finish, for it will not catch and hold dust as will the rougher goods. There is current in abundance of fur trimmed tailors, and a fault that is common with many is that the fur is used too freely It hardly seems a suitable tail or's trimming, but such fine question of taste must be settled by the beauty of the result. A little of it brings en- doreement from every one, but free use seems like overriding it and takes away the desirable tailor look.

Tho Conflict of Ideps

To the Editor of the Journal and Courier:
 Apropos of the arguments of John M. Hubbard, concerning the silly century question, I am reminded of the Circliln- stance that a few years ago MT. Hub bard wrote an article, which was puD- lished in the Courier in opposition to the introduction of electric cars in our city, saying that they would frighten horses and be the cause of many seri- ous accidents. In reply to MT, Hub bard I submitted an article which you kindly printed, to the effect that MT H., was evidently somewhat anti quated in his ideas, and that the cleo tric car was sure to come, as on the line of scientific advancement At that time I entertained the opinion that he was not quite up to date in his opin- ions but now, considering the stand he has taken on the century question, am free to confess that he has not only come up to the present time but jump- ed ahead of us just one year As a matter of fact, however I would say to that gentleman that he will have to live one year longer, commencing Jan uary 1. 1900, before he will be able to consider himself as a genuine entity of the twentieth century. Now "let us have peace.

According to a writer in a London magazine, Henry Irving has said: The enormous cost of Shakespearian pro- duction on the liberal and elaborate scale which the public is now accus- toned to expect makes it almost inn possible for any manager-I don't care who it is-to pursue a continuous pol icy of Shakespeare for many years with any hope of profit in the long run. l did it for twenty years, and l say, God help the manager who tries to do it again, unless he is iberally subsidized by the state. I received half a million of the publc's money at the Lyceum, and perhaps I was foolishly conscien- tious and extravagant, but practically made the public present of about a hundred thousand pounds in outlay on productions over and above what the results should have justified Of course, some of my Shakespearian successes have made immense profits, but great theatre is a financial sieve-the profit made by one great success is swallowed up to pay for the next partial success or failure, or perhaps the accidental closing of the theatre-its a very eX-

The Rev. John G. Fee, the founder of Berea college, Kentucky, who has just died at Berea, began at an early age to preach the doctrine of anti-slav- cry and as a result suffered several times from mobs He was attacked four different times, the most violent assault being made at College Hill While he was preaching mob of sixty men surrounded the house with pistols and guns. MT. Fee was dragged out and man with rope swore that he would be swung up if he did not leave the county. He declined to obey their demands, however, and continued preaching against slavery. His life work was devoted to the colored people. He studied two years at Oxford, Ohio, then took theological course at Lane Seminary, Ohio. Berea college, which owes it's existence to him, is in a flour ishing state. The citizens of Berea will bury him with high honors. Several children survive him.

OF the Boer guns at Laing's Mex will

be nothing to prevent Roberts seiEing

that the railroad has been cut and it
is quite possible that the first official
