HENRY G. ROBINSON.


Henry c. Robinson, who died in Hart
ford yesterday, was a good lawyer, a
good business man, good speaker and
writer, and good citizen. Indeed he
was capable and efficient in whatever he
undertook, and the range of his activi-
ties was wide. During large part of
his life he was prominent in politics and
public affairs, and his State and city
have protited by his public spirit his
sagacity and his skill. He was wise and
tactful in his dealings with his fellow
men, kindly in spirit and given to good
works. The Congregational Church and
the American Board Of Commissioners
for Foreign Missions have long felt the
influence of his zeal and wisdom. He
Will be greatly missed by many who
have been accustomed to rely on his
counsel, and he will be long and sin
cerely mourned by many who have been
accustomed to rely on his friendliness
and good will. In his death his family
his friends, his Church, his profession,
his business associates, his city and his
State have met with great loss.

belt, close fit at back and hips of skirt
and pretty looseness of the bodice front

the equally easy straight front, produce
suggestion of outline that somehow
seems slender no matter what the real
size of the waist.
Originality in boleros is again in great
demand, and the output is large and
varied. Skirt and bolero to match,
with fancy waist to complete, consti-
tute the usual scheme, and in the simp-
Ter forms the cut of the jacket is the
point of novelty, rather than it's trim

moderate treatment, its trimming of

Empire styles are introduced in sep
arate waists, but are not very attrac-
tive. The empire is a form of princess
it implies something of continuity of
line from bust to skirt hem, if not from
throat to hem. So the empire in a sep
arate bodice is an anomaly. Such as
are seen show a belt of the bodice type
reaching to under the bust, the bodice
being draped In scarf lines above, When
the belt is a sash affair and knots I'M
der the bust to fall in long ends to the

ty is accomplished and the result is not
so bad. The skirt to so with these
waists must be carefully chosen.

sErn 4CKs or GREAT CaUsE


1t is always pleasing to record the
progress Of great cause, and it is al
ways saddening to record the setbacks
which a great cause may receive. But
it is noted that in 1899 woman suffrage
bills were defeated in the legislatures of
Massachusetts, Maine, Connecticut,
Vermont, Illinois, Oklahoma, Arizona,
Indiana, Missouri, Michigan and Cal
ifornia. Woman suffrage amendments
to the constitution were also defeated
by votes of the people in 1898 in South
Dakota and Washington, the latter
State having had a law in operation to
that effect while 1t existed as a terri
tory. The issue is to be tried before the
people of Oregon in June and it is sig
nifcant that an association of women
has been formed in that State to oppose
it. The same kind Of effort is being
made in New York and in Massachu-
setts.
Of course these defeats will only in
cite the advocates of woman suffrage
to still more Jealous and persistent
work. Ultimately they will carry all
the kops and kopjes that are in their
way.

Women's waists are larger than they

who are disturbed by this dressmakers
say that the extra size Is because of
the dip in front. A good deal of that
Is true, and 1t is also true that the dip
gives chance to a portion of our
anatomy that formerly had none. Time
was when a physicians order to go to
bed might be considered, but a COM
mand to go without corsets would not
have been thought of for a moment.
Not few women are dressing without
corsets. They wear only girdle that

waist a bit. Careful adjusting of the

Dig a trench and line it with good
shots, supported by modern artillery
and no enemy can advance in the face
Of them. They may be outtlanked or
starved, but, while their ammunition
holds out, none can GUST them, for they
can fill the whole plain over radius
of at least four thousand yards with
such whitening blast of shrapnel and
rifle bullets that no troops can stand in
the open before 1t. Given plain, field
glasses, modern magazine rifles and
quck-firing small guns, and the whole
German army itself could not dislodge
the 65, 900 men of the two Boer republics
by frontal attack on those grass lodged
trenches.
So says Julian Ralph, who has seen
some of the attempts made by brave
British soldiers to drive the Beers out
of their trenches Some military experts
are now saying that the new weapons
give an army on the defensive an adj
vantage of ten to one. The war in
South Africa Is going to be very in
structive as swell as destructive. The
English generals don't seem to be learn
ing very fast, but perhaps they don't
tell all they know. Possibly they will
soon give evidence of new and valuable
knowledge. 1t ie very evident that how
ever much the Beers may be lacking in
most of the arts OF civilization they are
up to the most civilized date in the art
of war.

MORE FEED FOR TEXAS CATTLE.
They are, it appears, making two
blades of grass grow in Texas where
none grew before. Promising expert
ments are being conducted in that
State, under the direction of the Ma
tional Department of Agriculture, in
an effort to find way of restoring the
cattle ranges almost destroyed by over
stocking. When the land upon which
the experiments have been conducted
was shown to a committee of exper-
fenced stockmen in 1898, they decid-
ed that it would require sixteen acres
of it to support cow through the sea-
son, and expressed some doubt as to
whether the yield of grass would be
sufficient for that, and this season the
agent in charge has been pasturing cat
tie on this land at the rate of one head
for every eight acres. There is now an
unbroken turf over the entire land,
and fine carpet of grass. Before the
experiments were begun one-half of the
land was devoid of vegetation and al
most as hard and barren as a pave
