FEMININE FOIBLES.
A Sharp md Merited Criticism of
High-HeeIed Shoes and Tight
ly-Laced COrsets.

10 describe the vagaries of fashion
in women's dress from physiological
point of view would be to pen a scath-
ing satire on the foibles of the sex.
From recent letters published in a
public journal we learn that one of
the chief causes why a woman cannot
take the short, smart little steps that
mark the progress of tightlyshod
and high-heeled boot is because she has
not worn them from youth upward.
Anyone who prefers cramped, artificial
gait of that kind, to say nothing OF
the associated internal organic COM
plants, would probably defend the dye
ing of hair, the rougeing of cheeks and
all other methods of improving ma
lures work, and would defend their
use in the nursery or at the boarding
school. Heaven defend our schoolgirls
from such a fate! So far, their most
serious physical handicap consists in
the corset that distorted feminine
judgment still generally insists upon
their wearing. About that eXtraor-
binary implement of torture-for that
that prevents its killing off consid-
cradle proportion of the feminine pop
ulation lies in the fact that during
sleep the body is allowed to resume
the shape and movements with which
that most perfect product of nature
has been endowed. 1t will come as
shock to most of the sterner sex that
the practice of sleeping in stays is
discussed in some quarters as an ac-
cepted fact. In the directions given by
one foolish dame the lady is directed to
stand upright and hold an old-fash-
toned blackboard, bracing the Shout
ders, while being laced. This method
is said to obviate entirely the necessity
of sleeping in corsets. The picture thus
raised reminds one forcibly of the
medieval rack, with an innocent school
girl as the victim, instead of Chris
tian martyr or a criminal. - Woman's

York city and in Bensonhurst-b blythe
Sea, where the Cats have one of the
contest summer residences in Long Is
land. The new head of the American
sutfragists has a personality altogeth-
er out of line with the traditional land
false) idea of the womans rights wom-
an. She is an ideal hostess, house
keeperof enviable ability and resources
and a cook whose dishes are famous.
She is fond of horses, flowers and
pretty bric-a-brac. She is a student,
and one of the most eloquent speakers
in the country. She is in the suffrage
movement because she has convictions,
and these convictions she is quite capa-
BILE of conveying to others by the lu-
cidity of her argument and the indis-
putability of her conclusions. She has
never sought for an Office in the asso-
citation of which she is now the chair
woman.

Miss AnthOny's Successor ms Pres
ident of the National Womnn's
Suffrage Association.

Mrs. Carrie Chapman Gait, who sue
ceeds Susan B. Anthony as president of
the American Woman Suffrage associa-
ton, is unquestionably the foremost
active sutfragist of this day. She took
up the cause several years ago and has
sonably spare from her duties of the
household. Mrs. Gait was born in
Iowa and lived in that state until she
became the wife of George A. Gait, the
big dredging contractor. Since that
time she has made her home in New

Bicentenary of the Sweet Pen.

The sweet pea is said to have an in
ternational bicentenary celehI alton
this year. 1t was introduced into Brit
ish gardens from it's home in eastern
Europe just 200 years ago. The fine
blooms and extensive range o. color
ings which are now obtained are, how
ever, of comparatively recent date,
having been produced during the last
quarter of century or so by the efforts
of growers like the Shropshire firm of
Eckford and the American firm of
Burpee. The arrangements for the
bicentenary include an exhibition in
London next July, with prizes for
punches, collections and decorative eff
fects, conference of expert growers
and perhaps banquet.

Cure for Moth Patches.

Brown spots on the cheeks are calico
moth patches. They are usually caused.
by some internal disturbance. Ere
quently the liver is at fault. The fol-
lowing formula is given for external
use, but as long as the internal cause
remains, no outward application will
effect permanent cure: Kaohn, four
grams; lanoline, ten grams; glycerine.
four grams; carbonate of magnesia
and oxide of zinc, two grams each.
Apply to the spots at night before go
ing to bed.

beyond this point the loss would have
been enormous. The street Is the center
of the commission district, where the
streets are narrow, the buildings old,
and their contents of a combustible ma
ture. Nothing could have prevented the
fire from sweeping everything TO the
river.
In the meantime. stores and buildings
on the north side of Franklin avenue,
for half a block east and west of Broad
way were suffering. The great heat from
the burning buildings opposite broke the
windows and soon flying embers mad
started incipient fires in half dozen dlI-
ferent places. The tenants living above
moved out as much of their property as
possible. Good work by the fremen pre-
vented much loss at this point.
The drug store of johnson Brothers. at
the corner of Franklin avenue and Broad
way, and a saloon on the opposite cor
ner with some small shops adjoining,
which were partially destroyed were the
heaviest losers The other losses were
confined to broken show windows and
scorched store fronts. =,
The trolley wires along Broadway and
Franklin avenue were source OF JAIL
ger and until they were cut on the may
ors order there were numerous hdIIo"
escapes from electrocutlon.
Fireman Fatally Crushed.
District Superintendent Baumhoh, OF
the United Railway Company, and corps
of men set about rescuing a derailed car
at Fourth and Morgan streets. Stretching
a long chain from a Fourth street grip
car, the power of the cable was used te
haul il out of the way of the firemen. the
gripman started his car, but did not re-
lease il soon enough. The car bumped
along over the granite, crashed into a
fire engine, which was stationed on the
corner. and crushed Fireman Hanmore.
He was removed TO the dispensary, where
his injuries were pronounced fatal.
For hours after the fire broke out the
scene of the confiagration was thrOnged
with thousands of people, who had been
drawn from churches and homes by the
report that the city was burning up. Ey-
cry policeman available was hurried TO
the scene, and rope barriers were erected
around the section in which the flames
were raging.
Late tonight John Cummings, private
| Waterman of Penny & Gentle's, was ar
rested and is being held. pending an iE-
/ vestigation into tie origin Of the fire. He
was taken into custody as the result OF

InterOceanic Canal Committee. said yes
terday that he believed il would be posi-
BILE to pass the Nicaragua bill in the morn
inS hour of the Senate, as the only out
spoken opponent TO the measure was Sen
ator Gallery, Of Louisiana. But Mr.. CAT
ferry" said Mr.. Morgan, will not filibus-
ter, as i understand It. He simply wants
time 10 present his views in opposition.
and this. Of course, must be accorded -
Senator Morgan also said that Speaker
Henderson and the House Committee on
Rules were favorable to the measure, and
that he was sure that there was a ma
jority for it in the House. According 10
the present programme, no steps will be

upon on the 18th instant. Senator Morgan
promises that when il is taken up there
will be little difficulty in reaching vote
