JURY TO JUDGE GOWNS.
Ms Howard Gould to Try Them on
in "a New York Court.

NEW YORK, Jan. 13.-Mrs Howard
Gould must appear in the City Court be-
fore twelve men and there try on several
gowns, waists, petticoats, and four
striped shirtwaists. which she declares do
not fit her, and for which she declines TO
pay $1.175. jury must determine
whether the garments fit Mrs. Gould
This decision was made yesterday by
the general term of the City Court in the
suit brought by Mary F. Smith and Mar
garetta Dillon, dressmakers, at West
Forty-fifth Street. II is upon an appeal
by the modistes from an order made by
Justice Hascall in October, directing that
the testimony in the case be heard b. fore
a referee.
Mrs. Goulds counsel, Howe & Hummel
in securing the reference contended a jury
was not well enough versed in the intri-
cacies of the dressmakers' art to pass
upon the question Of proper fit. It was
also argued that it would be unseemly to
make woman parade her nnery before
twelve men.
Justice Mccarthy writes the opinion
upsetting the reference. He says the
matter should be decided by a jury. The
trial is set for February ).
Howard Gould is named as defendant in
the suit. The goods were supplied to mis-
wife in the latter part Of 1899 and the
early part of 1900, and the amount Of the
bill was s., 1855.
Payments have been made on this ac-
count until there remains balance of

Mineral water and tea were the only

This building is merely one of dozen
amusement places which the Committee
of Temperance has opened in this city.
This committee is one of thirty-hve
which under the direction of the Ministry
of Finance are making an effort in those
governments and cities where the spirits
monopoly has been introduced to prevent
the masses from drinking to excess, and
particularly to provide counter attrac-
lions to the spirits dispensaries and sa-
loon restaurants on the numerous feast
days.
The Ministry of Finance has just issued
a statement of the financial results of the
four years operation of the spirits mo-
nopoly. 1t has occasioned no loss of reve-
nues. though the expenses of management
are large The Ministry of Finance states
that the monopoly has caused a percepti-
BILE diminution of the consumption of vod-
ka, the national drink. The reason that
the Government has not lost money there
by is that frauds upon the Treasury are
now practically impossible, there being
no longer an opportunity for illegal rectl-
fication. and because the price of spirits
has been increased. The latest statistics
show the average consumption of stand
ard vodka is 7.3S litres annually for each
inhabitant of the Empire. This is less
than the average of many other countries.
1t should be observed that this calcuia-
tion omits beer and wine, which are little
drunk here, and that the drinks of other
countries are compared with the Russian
,l,,TS ante In.
nutshell the financial results have been
as follows: Cost of introduction of the
monopoly. 40.7O0,0 geo rubles; net profits in
four years. 81 700, 600 rubles.

THE BEST COSMETIC.
1t Is Snid to Be Very Hot Water Jul
diciOusly Applied with
Wooden Cloth.

There is no cosmetic equal to hot
water and a wooden rag" says a
bright, rosy matron of so, who for
many years has used no other. Every
night and morning | give my face a
thorough washing with a piece of
white flannel in hot water. Once in a
great while l use soap, but not often,
as | have found the hot water, per-
sistently used, very satisfactory. If
the skin has not been exposed to a
great amount of dust the water may
be merely sopped upon the face at
night, as once day is often enough
for the scrub. After the hot bath
dash on a liberal quantity of cold wa
ter with the hands, until the skin
fairly glows. This is the cheapest
and most wonderful cosmetic known.
A month of such treatment will trans
form any complexion. My skin is
much fairer and roster than when I
was 20. | had naturally poor COM
pleXion, coarse and muddy. I tried
many remedies, but they were unsat-
isfactory, until one day an old lady
whose skin I always had admired
for its youthful appearance gave me
her recipe. l tried it faithfully, and
before long saw with delight that
my complexion was clearing. '-Phila-

offered advice as to what | should
spend it for. That it should buy a
shotgun was the nnal and unanimous
verdict, with the exception of my

Once in town Bruner took us to the
hotel for dinner, as was his custom,
and when the meal was over the boys
began to intimate that it was time to
spend the ten dollars But as l had
earned the money by myself l rather
wanted to spend it in the same way,
and besides the shotgun idea was not
entirely to my liking. l wanted
gun, but | wanted fiddle worse and
then, too, | knew that Bruner would
be disappointed if | did not get a
fiddle, and | wished to please him.
After time l succeeded in getting
away from the other boys and got
put by myself. One of the first places
that | found was a pawnshop with
twoo three fiddles hanging in the win
dow. The place was presided over by

looked for all the worlu like William

WOMAN IN POLITICS.
the President of the Woman's
Republican Association.

Long before the twentieth century
shall have passed women very gen
orally will have found out that civil
government is the most comprehen-
sive form of human association, and
therefore the most effective human
agency for protecting human rights
and promoting human happiness.
Women will know that the ordi-
nary instincts of maternity and the
higher Intellectual and spiritual pur-
poses of motherhood may be hindered
or may be helped by the caprices of
rulers and the will of governments,
and that according to the measure of
woman's concern for her child and
for her family and for her own de-
velopment she should desire to be put
in the most influential relation to
government.
The fathers, brothers, husbands and
sons of women will then scorn or pity
the men of to-day, who base their
estimate of woman's value to the
government on her supposed physical
weakness, her claimed mental infer.-
ority and the supposed limitations of
her femininity.
A hundred years from now govern
ment will have emerged from the
dominance of materialities; the
dream of doctrinaries that the golden
rule should reign in law as it now
does in morals will then be realized :;
the full stature of manhood shall have
been so far attained that the incident
of sex will not differentiate the eXer-
else of political activities and the
discharge of political duties.
Woman's present relation to gov
politics" is government in
action-is a practical contradiction
of the declarations of constitutional
liberty. Woman is taxed, but not
represented; she is governed without
her consent.
Many women so keenly feel the
humiliation of their political status
that they submit to the expressions
man-made government simply be-
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1901-03-07

cause they must. They obey it under
protest. They choose to have no
politics until they have their rights -
Other women, through selfishness or
ignorance, hug their personal COM
forts to their hearts. They either
do not care for others good or do
not know how politics touch the
home and the woman and the child
in it.
Other women believe that ours is
the best government under the sun
that American manhood is of the
highest type yet developed; that
American standards for woman,
though not ideal, are the noblest
yet produced; that under this gov
eminent and in the civilization of
which it is a part woman possesses
wider opportunity for personal devel-
opment and for pure and happy fam
lily life than in any other land.
The best women, those of widest
information and deepest study, serve
the government as best they can I'M
der the limitations which men put
upon them. They do not one whit
resign their claim to larger oppor-
tunity and higher service; they are
conscious of the injustice of their
present relation to politics; they be-
leve that at the close of the twenti-
eth century these distorted views of
political ethics relating to women
will have passed away, and that the
republic shall then be established on
the sure foundations of equal justice
to all.
For myself L beg to say that, keen
ly as I feel the injustice which the
limitations of my political status i'm
pose, I'd rather be a woman citizen
of the United States in the twentieth
century-though disfranchised-than
be a queen under any other flag

organist in one of the largest churches
