4 DEYILISH DEED.

The whole civilized world will rejoice that the youthful anarchist who tried to kill the Prince of Wales in Brussels yesterday failed. Perhaps royalty isn't as popular as it might be or has been, but assassination hasn't increased in popularity. The deed of the boy Sipido was about as wild and senseless as any such deed has been, and it will not be surprising if he turns out to be luna tic as well as an anarchist. Anybody who could decide to kill the Prince of Wales "because he caused thousands of men to be slaughtered in South Africa is evidently not very straight thinker. It is to be hoped that the cowardly and senseless crime will not have the effect of melting other such crimes, but the heads that wear crowns in Europe will probably be un- usually uneasy for awhile.

cause of their stylishness, that any double-faced fabric is as good as an- other The two sides should contrast pleasantly, and plaids that shriek are as unpleasant here as elsewhere.
 Shown here is a simple type of gown that will be stylish for months to come, so though there's nothing especially striking about it. 1t is worth careful att tention. The skirt was the sort pieated all around. Similar pleata appeared on the bodice, deep yoke with sleeve ex- tensions completing it. This particular dress was havana brown cheviot, with ecru lace for the yoke and brown velvet for bands and belt. But these details may vary through the entire permissi- ble field; the general type Is what counts.
 ! Oddly shaped parasols are on view. Some of them are attractive enough to become popular. Little triangular af- very quaint when open. They, some how, are daintier than the square para sols, but the latter when covered by a square of lace so laid on that the cor ners of the lace fall between the cor ners of the frame are very graceful. When each lace corner Is weighted with a great rose that mtaches the color of the silk stretched over the frame, there's something to be proud of, as well as to hold up to the sun.

THE DEWEY CANDIDAcl.

This Dewey business is becoming in- teresting. When the great Admiral came sailing home he had a welcome such as few men in any land have re- ceived He could have had anything he wanted, and he did have all he showed any signs of wanting. In the great
 gush of enthusiasm it was suggested that he might have the presidency. He didn't receive the suggestion with fa- vor. Among other things he said: T think I have in published statements already pretty clearly defined my po-
 misunderstanding, I repeat to you that
 am not fit for President. I have not
 had the necessary political training, my
 experience and education running in an
 entirely different line. I know little of
 politics and affairs. I would not accept
 nomination or an election for Presi-
 dent. and this is my final decision.
 Moreover I believe that President Me-
 Kinley ought to have second term.
 He has made good executive and de-
 serves well of his country" This ut
 terance and other similar ones were
 taken as modest and sensible, and he
 was not bothered any more about the
 presidency. But, as it now appears, he
 boc 10 mind mot
 only concluded that he is fit for Presi-
 dent, but he has also concluded that he
 wants to be President. From what he
 says 1t is evident that the bee is buzzing
 right briskly. Yes" he says, T have
 decided to announce myself as willing
 to accept the presidency. You will re- member that when I first reached home from Manila l did not care to appear as a candidate for the presidency. The run of events since then has caused change in my views. and I am willing to accept the nomination--if the people of his fitness the following is interest ing: Since studying this subject I am convinced that the office of the Presi- dent is not such very difficult one to fill, his duties being mainly to execute the laws of Congress. Should I be chosen for this exalted position I would execute the laws of Congress as faith fully as I have always executed the or ders of my superiors.'' And he doesn't 1 seem to be troubled about his platform. platforms; they are formed by the peo- pie. I am not in the attitude of fore ing issues or platforms. I will say, however, that I think the platform of | the American Flag would cover most of | the pending national question"
 The people and the politicians will be | greatly surprised by this performance, and it will take few days to make the situation clear, and to discover who and what are behind the move. Times came home, and perhaps he has not gained in popularity since then. It is how much political skill there is back of him remains to be seen. It will take some political skill to save him from becoming ridiculous.

SOME GOUD RULES.

New York is, they say, governed by a more or less ungentlemanly band of robbers, but they are not all wrong there. For instance, the board of park rules 1t has just adopted that 1t knows at least a part of it's business, These memorial building shall be erected in any part of any park where the scenery
 is of a predominating natural charac- ter, and statues shall be placed only as adjuncts to buildings, bridges or via ducts. Statues of great national, civic or universal interest and of great artis- tic beauty may be placed in any of the small parks at the intersection of two or more avenues. No existing natural scenery, rock, woodland, drive or lawn shall be destroyed or altered to accom- modate any statue or memorial. No statuary, however satisfactory as a work of art, shall be accepted unless it will help to heghten the beauty of the landscape. Statuary and structures al- ready in the parks, if not placed in con- formity with these rules, may, if con- demned by the art commission, be re- moved by the commissioners of parks.
 Of course no such rules as these are Taste are in the very air, but there are places where they could be advanta- geously copied.

FASHION NOTES.
Short Skirts Too Long,

Stylish bicycle, golf, outing and rainy day skirts are so long that they are hardly worth while. Ankle length is required. Such a length catches mud from the heels, sweeps the curb, trails the car steps and is very awkward when lifted. For the country the sensible wo- man will stick to the skirt that is eight inches from the ground, but in the city, or at the fashionable clubs, if she would not seem to be wearing a last years ready made, she will have to pull down her short skirt about two inches. Dou- ble faced goods is the one stylish stuff for these skirts, and a fine medium it is It is wonder women never took to them before. Like all good things they are misused. So don't feel, be-

WRONGS TO BE RIGHTED.

Woman is thorough, and so it is not leading members of the National Wo- mans Suffrage Association and well separate society for a special purpose. It is called the National Legislative League. The first meeting was held in New York city the other day, when off, ficers were elected and the organization was started on it's mission under fav- orable conditions, if it's friends are to be believed. The declared purpose is to obtain for women equality of legal, municipal and industrial rights through action of congress and State legisla- lures. Among the reasons for this movement the following are set forth: Tn thrty-seven States a married moth- CT has no right to her children; in six teen States a wife has no right to her own earnings outside of the home; in eight States woman has no right to her own property after marriage; in seven States there is no law compelling man to support his family It Is thought that through the new organiza- tion women all over the country can be united for bringing influence to bear upon the correction of these alleged wrongs to the sex, and other wrongs and disabilities.
 By and by Woman will have things just as she wants them, and then the world will be much brighter and bet ter place than it now is.
