wen Ride Astride.say Chicago Wom.n


CHICAGO, May 4-Chicago club and
society women are not to be outdone
by B~ostonians and New Workers. A
movement has been started here TO
organize a "Woman's Cross Saddle
Riding Club" The prime mover is
Mrs. T. E. Steele.
ut is such an improvement over the
old fashion, says Mrs. Steele to-day,
that | am certain it viii be adopted
By all of the women horse lovers in
Chicago. 1t rests with the men, how
ever. II they approve, the rest will be
easy"
Mrs. Steele has planned a new habit
Of two-piece trousers, wide at the bot
tom and full length, to cover most Of
the boot, andla long coat, which buttons
down the front and over the trousers.
Madame Marantee, the equestrienne
Of Ringllng's circus, does not believe
In riding astride.
Put a woman in a properly made
saddle, she said, 'having her leaping
horn and stirrup correctly adjusted,
and nothing short Of a fall and roll Of
the horse should dislodge her. In Cali
fornia / was invited to the Golding
Gate Riding Academy, and was asked
my opinion Of the new fad of riding
aStride. The San Francisco women
had just taken it up, and a large num-
Der OF them had donned the divided
skirts. At first / was too polite TO say
what l thought, but one day they
pressed me for an opinion and | gave
my honest opinion.
ut was that women were not fitted
for the mans saddle; IL was much
more dangerous than the ~side-saddle,
and that women who rode a mans sad
die make themselves conspicuous"

WARD EIGHT.

The Ward eight caucus in Associa-
ton Hall brought out 470 voters and
the feature was the defeat of Council
man Albert e. Newton for another
term in the City Council by Henry E.
Dean by a vote of 293 to 1872. The re-
suit was announced at 1890 and it
brought bitter disappointment to the
friends of Councilman Newton who
were in the hall. They could give no
reason for his defeat except that Mr..
Dean evidently had more friends who
took the trouble to get to the hall and
cast their ballots for him.
The aldermanic fight between Her
bert B. Belcher and eX-Councilman A.
A. Wheeler was too one-sided to be
even interesting Mr. Belcher's delega-
ton to the municipal convention win
ming by a vote averaging 290 to vote
averaging about 80 for the Wheeler
delegation, which was composed of
Frank G. Fay, H. L. Walton, Frank B.

F. Thompson Louis j. Kendall, Walter
S. Doane, A. II. Henry c. M. Smith and
Henry A. Bullock. Alderman Louis
J. Kendall was the high man on the
delegation with SO votes. On the Bel
cher delegation the high man was
William II. Burns with 296 votes There
was no contest for the School Commit
tee and Alexander H. Bullock received
43S votes. The men nominated for
the ward committee were also without
opposition but the knife was used a lit
tie. Walter S. Doane was the high
man with 400 votes. Dewitt Clinton
second with 391 and George W. B.

but 1t was several minutes afterward
before either the judge or the prisoner
appeared in the courtroom. At the first
session the courtroom was by no
means crowded. Mr.. Bonine and Mrs.
Meachem, husband and sister of the
seats reserved for Mrs. Bonine's es-

At 10 minutes past 10 Mrs. BONNIE APP

After a brief statement of the case

the court pleading for liberal construc-

GERMAN AMBASSADOR
PRAISES THE NEW MCKINLEY

Washington, Nov. 19.-Herr Won Hol-
leben, the German ambassador to the
United States, has just returned to
Washington from his summer vaca-
ton in Europe and has resumed the
duties of his post here. His eXcellency,
when interviewed here today, seemed to
be in excellent spirits and much bene-
fitted by his leave of absence and by the
complete rest from his responsible
work. When asked about the existing
relations between Germany and the
United States, he said:
They have never been better or
more cordial. The great sorrow which
came to your country through the
tragedy in Buffalo has greatly aroused
the sympathy of the German people,
who are so closely united to the peo-
pie of the United States by the many
ties of blood and friendship. Just as
in private life we think more of
friend whom fate has made to suffer
severely, so the German people have
been brought nearer to those Of the
United States through the latter coun-
try's great misfortune. Mr.. McI<inley's
great qualities in private life, as we'll
as his great craftsmanship. shown in
his dealing with public affairs, have
always been thoroughly understood and
appreciated

convey to Mr.. Roosevelt his majesty's

ton.

Before closing ths interview his ex-
cellency said:
Il have one more thing to say: You
are without doubt aware that at reg

newspapers 10 inc S4Lect that NorHidny

These reports are started again ard

I am officially authorized to state that
Germany has no such purpose. I want
to deny now, once for all. these ever
