but when he went down to South
street one day and stood on the roof
of his building and lodged several
horseshoes il wasn't funny any more.
He is said to have been driven off the
roof by an unusual rain of horse
shoes, but perhaps that particular
story was overdrawn. Mr.. Lemken
has grown SO tired of the rain of
horseshoes that he has sued to re-
strain the New York and Brooklyn
bridge.

A certain married woman who
"glorles in her sex" confesses that
Longing for there are times
when she envies
her husband. With
business suit and a dress suit, she
says, he is prepared for any occa-
SION" and to choose such convention
al clothing costs him hardly a mo-
ment's thought; whereas with every
changing season she must complete
ly rearrange her waDlrobe, not the
gowns alone, but the "gewgaws to
match" The older she grows, the
woman says, the more heavily does
this burden weigh upon hef spirit:
Although She is not society woman,
says Youths Companion, she meets
many people; it seems a duty to ar
ray herself in the manner that the
general Judgment of her sex APP
proves, and to do this demands time,
money and anxious meditation. She
admits that she likes to feel well
dressed. Yet what relief it would
be, she adds. if, like the sisters be-
longing to religious orders, women
would put on uniforms and make no
change except, say, from thick gar
ments to thinner! At first thought
1t would be so if applied to the other
sex; for man already pays an esthet-
ic penalty for his efforts to save HIM
self trouble in choosing his clothing.
Members of secret societies evade the
penalty for an hour OF two when they
decorate themselves with sashes and
swords and feathers; but every other
assemblage of men is necessarily q
somber and cheerless spectacle. The
members of any such gathering are
clad so uniformly that one might log
ically demand they put on uniforms.
Happily woman's instinct permits her
to be more original. Probably the
only reason why one particular wom-
an suggests uniform is that some
penurious man has charged that she
and her sisters sinfully waste their
| time and money on dress. But that
is not true of many American women.
For one family broken up by the
wife's extravaganza, hundred are
ruined by the husbands folly. More
over, the woman who takes pains to
show herself at her best does good
deed, since she adds just SO much
more to the charm of life.

A young woman in Milwaukee has
achieved national reputation and is
fast winning wealth by designing and

designs the windows and reproduces
the design in colors upon the glass, but
with some assistance herself manages

burned into the glass and the design
thus made permanent.

MENDACIoUs TRUST SERVANTS
Republican Newspapers Make Bold
Assertions in Defense of
Robber Combines.

The New York Mail asserts with
out qualification that nothing has
been adduced to show that any of the
combinations known as trusts take
advantage of protection to maintain
high prices" And this in its face of
the sworn testimony taken before
the industrial commission which
proves the contrary and the astound-
ing secrets let out by Mr.. Frick when
he quarreled with Mr. Carnegie. 1t
is matter of easy proof that the
steel trust, the tobacco trust, the
cigarette trust, the salt trust, the
paper trust and others have all raised
their prices and all are protected by
the tariff. None of these trusts could
maintain this increase If the tariff
protection was withdrawn and COM
petition was allowed to interfere with
them. Steel rails have recently been
advanced from $26 to $2s ton, which
means an enormous tax on the rail-
roads which falls almost directly on
the people, for it is hold-up Of
transportation for many millions.
The Engineering News says that at
the former price of $26 ton, the
profits on this years output of the
steel corporation were estimated at
$12,50O,000. The cost of ore has been
reduced this seaso on $1.29 per ton, but,
in the face of that reduction, the
price has been sent up So.
The duty on steel rails is 1884 a
ton and the steel trust is selling
them to foreigners for about $40 a
ton and paying the freight to Europe.
Would the increased price here be
possible without the tariff protection?
But the New York Mail is only a
sample of all the other mendacious
republican protection organs. They
are largely owned by the trusts and
plutocrats and the truth is not in
them.

TrIb i'm the High Sierras.

The day we started on our trip ac-
ross the mountains, from Carson, Me-
vada, while wheeling down the grade
toward Lake Tahoe, l went over a
high embankment, falling and badly
spraining and bruising my knee.
W hen we reached Hobart, the instep
of Mrs. Gordon's right foot was much
weakened by the severe exertion nee
essary on the mountain road. 1t
seemed as il we could go no further.
There was just N bottle of liniment,
Trib, in the place. We bought it and
applied it thoroughly that night and
the next morning, and we were thus
able to proceed easily and without
delay. Continuing its use, in three
DAYS we reached our destination, both
knee and instep completely cured and
free from that muscular stiffness, and
oreness which too often mars an out
ing. Trib is the greatest thing on
earth where a liniment is needed.

Without Trib all the pleasure OF a
most interesting journey would have
been destroyed, if indeed, We could
have made it at all.

From this roint on the railroad nearly

been built here. 1t takes it's name from
a mountain in the vicinity, which years
ago was the scene of a remarkable fight
between a party of emigrants and a
~marauding band Of Shoshone Indians.
The town is supplied with good hotels,
school house, NJ. e. Church, Catholic
Church, public halls, several stores and
saloons. 1t has an elevation Of four
thousand five hundred feet above sea
level. It is a supply point for quite a
number Of mining camps. Such as Ga
lena, Copper Canyon, Lewis, Dean, Cop

1t is also a center for stock-growers and
farmers. Here is the junction OF Reese
River and Humboldt Valleys opening in
to which are numerous side valleys
which are we'll watered by mountain
streams aud are more OF less productive
The town is well supplied with water
which is conducted by means of pipes
from springs also from artesian wells.
The water rises to the surface. They go
down through silt to gravel. Below the
gravel is a stratum of hard clay and be

ROUNDING UP ExPEcToRAToRs.

From the New York Herald.
 There is no more disgusting habit than that of expectorating in public convey ances. It Is bad enough when practiced by pedestrians fin the streets, but when 1t comes to splitting upon street or elevated car floors and ip ferryboats it is. some thing that demands prompt and adequate punishment.
 The action of the health board in send ing out 1s0 policemen, of the sanitary squad to round up these violaters of the most ordinary rules of decent manners is healthy commended by the public, and 1t is to be hoped that they will pursue the hunt until all expectorators are run in or taught to reform their ways.
 In no other country is this intolerabe practice so prevalent as in America. It Is a pity that 1t is so, but the most super flcial observer knows 1t to be fact. Dickens, who made ample apologies for many hard things he had written about us, never thought it necessary to take back what he had remarked of American expectorators. Nor should he have done so. We ourselves inveigh against 1t, and the action that has now been taken by the health board meets with the hearty approval of every decent-mannered citi- zen.

YELLED OPPOSITION.

From the Montgomery Advertiser.
 Some few of our state exchanges haven't the cheek to argue that our present con- stitution Is all that is desired, but they claim that the necessary improvements can all be made by amendments. This is all subterfuge, and they know it. They know that the changes necessary can only be made through an entire revision of the constitution, and that this cannot be done by amepdments. These papers fear that 1t would be unpopular to come out openly in opposition to changing the organic law, and so they hide their real motives under the thin cloak of revision by amendments. That they will fail to defeat the movement which the people of Ala bama have set in motion Is certain, but they will expose themselves by their course, and that is all they will accom- plish.
 Besides this, 1t is much more difficult to secure legitimate amendments than to amend by a constitutional convention. It requires a two-thirds vote of each house of the legislature to adopt a pro- posed amendment. It must then be sub mitted to popular vote at regular state election and a majority of the entire vote cast must be recorded in favor of the amendment. This Is to say, if as many as 100000 votes are cast for governor, more than half that number must vote for the amendment. How easy to defeat amendments by its opponents simply de- clinng to vote. Everybody knows that at general elections the interest in local and state offices overshadows everything else and very few take the trouble to vote for or against amendments. The way to get such amendments of our con- stitution as are needed is to have a con- stitutional convention. The opportunity Is now presented to the people of Alabama and they should gladly take advantage nf
