Concerning Sleeves.


Under-sleeyes are still in favor, made
Of lace, chiffon, batlste, liberty silk-oi
any material different from the rest
Of the gown. They fit close to the arm
or are in puffs, and some even are
shirred; but none of them are ugly or
exaggerated. The sleeve that stops
just at the elbow, or little below it,
finished there with a turned-back cuff
is not nearly so popular as it has been,
probably because it is usually unbe'
coming. 1t is much less graceful thar
the sleeve that finishes below the ell
bow in q rufiie or fares in an exegger
ated copy Of the coat sleeve. Thin
gowns look well with elbow sleeves.
but one style that is fashionable is
most unbecOming; this is the sleeve fin
ished below the elbow with folds of
muslin or silk and without rutiie OF
flare. 1t is one Of the most trying
styles ever designed, and yet seems to
have a firm hold on the affections of
many women. An attractive sleeve
which looks equally well made of silk
muslin, or cloth, is just a little larger
than the arm, and reaches not quite
to the wrist, where It is finished in
squares, and shows underneath a fun
puff of the same material, gathered
into band The reason this is so be-
coming is that is has lines long enough
to make the arm appear graceful

A New Field For Women.

Women have invaded another field
Of industry in New York City, and it
behooves the Sandwich man" to look
out for his job. She enters upon her
new vocation timidly and travels IN
groups for company, perhaps for moral
support Time will probably embold-
en- her to stalk alone for the elusive
customer. In the shopping district six
young women may be seen any pleas
ant day, dressed in the quaint stage
garb of New England. OF course no.
body in New England or anywhere
else ever dressed that way in real life.
They wear sunbOnnets and spotted
shawls and mutely invite sufferers
from headache to use somebody's one
minute cure. 1t is a tribute to the cos
mopolitan chara -tCr of New York City
to say, and say truthfully, that since
the first >ay or two Of their appear
ance they have attracted no more at

A Woman Farmer,

Mrs. Minnie Eshleman Sherman, OF
California, former society girl OF
Philadelphia, owns and manages a
farm of twenty-eight hundred acres,
with its varied interest of dairying
stock farming and fruit growing. In
her palm bordered orchards and vine
yards are grown raisin grapes, pears
peaches, apricots nectarines, prunes
oranges, almonds and olives. For her
immense herds, Mrs Sherman grows
all of her own feed, the cows in sum-
mer being pastured on alfalfa, and, as
the season advances, on ensllage made
from the first crop Of alfalfa; then on
corn from the silo, and later on green
rye.
In addition to the dairy which sup
plies its immense creamery, Mrs. Sher-
man has a large number Of thorough
bred horses and big herd of fine
Berkshire swine. Among the lessons
which Mrs. Sherman learned by q sad
experience was the fact that the beau
tiful Jersey cows which have found
nourishment on sweet hill pastures N
a cool, moist sea air will not thrive on
fields of alfalfa in n warm, dry valley.
These have been replaced by the sturd-
Ter Holstein Friesian stock, Of which
she is said to have now one of the fin
est herds in the country. Her large
barns contain all the latest devices for
the comfort of the cows and for keep
ing down all bacterial growth detri-
mental to the butter.-New York Tri-

Mrs. Matthias GergeI Demands Large
Amount of Damages From the
Milwaukee Road.
HUSBAND KILLED DECEMBER 20.
Mrs. Gergel Will File Two Suits Against
the Company Asking $4,000 in Each
Suit.-Company Ready to Settle.

Attorney A. E. Buckmaster has been
retained by Mrs. Matthias Gerge1 to
bring some heavy suits against the
Chicago, Milwaukee and ST. Paul
Railway company on account of the
accident which occurred at Truesde11
a short time ago. The accident re-
suited in the death of Mrs. Gerge1's
husband and the lady was so seriously
in iured that she has not been able to
leave her home since. Two suits will
be brought against the company and
in each case Mrs. Gerge1 will demand
$4,000. The first suit will be on account
of the death of her husband and the
second will be on account Of injuries
received by herself. The suits will un
doubted1y be hard fought ones as the
company has set up a claim that the
woman and her husband were guilty
of contributory negligence. The action
of the coroners jury in not fixing the
blame for the accident will probably
be against the lady in her suit against
the company. While the papers of the
suits have not as yet been filed it is
stated on good authority that the COM
pany have made an effortGto settle the
suits and Mrs. Gerge1 demanded fif-
teen thousand dollars. This the COM
pany of course refused to pay and the
suits are the outcome of this refusal.
There is reason to believe that the
attorneys will settle the suits before
they come to trial. Thou1d this not
be the case the suits will come up for
trial at the March term of the circuit
court.
The company have given attention
to the crossing since the accident and
the station agent at Truesdel1 has been
kept at the crossing to prevent further
accidents of a similar nature. 1t is
stated that the company will put in
bell signal there.

Not long since young girl IN the city
of Appleton was stricken with the
dread disease and the health officer of
the city had her quarantined as soon
as possible in order to insure the citi-
zens, in some degree, against the
contagion, the officer either not hav-
ing read the valuable information con-
tanned in the "Murderous Fads," or
being impervious to high scientific
knowledge. When the alleged doctor
and the author of the book obtaining
the discovery of the non-contagious
character of small pox, heard of the
case, which by some remarka bic over
sight he had not been called upon to
attend, he straightway betook himself
to the house of the patient, clad in the
armor of his convictions, and proceed
ed to cover his face and hands and
arms with the pus from the postules
from the face and hands of the dis
eased. With the same fortitude he
proceeded down the busiest streets of
the city, went and caressed his family
with his disease infected hands, and
betook himself to the club, where he
Joined a game of cards with several
business men of the city. Then the
Doctor retired to the usual pursuits of
his life, satisfied with his invest1ga-
tons. Now the matter rests for the
present. The Doctor had tried his ex-
pertinent and the results are only
matter of time. 1t is the case of the
mushroom and the toadstoo1 over
again. If you eat it and it does not
kill you it is a mushroom. If DR.. Rod-
ermund and those he has so kindly and
brave1y exposed in the interests Of SCI
ence, do not contract the disease, the
Doctor will have established his
If they do and several
of them die of the disease, it will still
be the settlement of the question.
In the meantime the people of the
city of Appleton ought to try ducking
DR.. Rodermund in the river just to test
the theory that water at the proper
density and degree of temperature does
not discommode one nor interfere with
the respiration, even though the head
is held under for some time. Then he
might be taken to West Point and put
the whole stunt, Just to prove
to the court of inquiry whether or not
the various methods of hazing in
vogue at that institution are really in
furious.

Choir Boys of st. Matthew's Church
Are Given a Complimentary Ban
quet at the Guild Hall.
JOLLIEST EVENT OF THE YEAR
The Boys of the Choir Assisted by Their
Friends Put in Very Pleasant Even
ing of Feasting and Song.

One of the jol1iest events of the year
in St. Matthew's church was the an
nua1 feast of the choir boys, which oc-
Cured at the Guild hall on Thursday
evening. The boys certainly will rank
the feast given Thursday night as
red letter event, as everything was
done to make it exceedingly pleasant
for them,
With the older members of the choir
the boys gathered at the Guild hall
shortly before O'Clock and the hall
had been turned into great banquet
hall. The table, which extended the
full length of the large hall, was ar
ranged in the shape of cross. The
white cloth was almost hidden under
the mass of ferns and carnations which
composed the decorations, while long
streamers of ribbon extended to every
plate. At each plate had been placed
a carnation which served as button
iere for the boys.
The dinner, which was served by the
ladies of the Guild as a compliment to
the boys; was one of the finest repasts
ever served in the hall. The boys did
ample Justice to it and after dinner
was over the room was cleared of the
tables and chairs and turned into a
playground for tn use of the boys. In
the games which followed the old and
Young alike Joined and it is hard to
tell which enjoyed the entertainment
the most. Later in the evening an
impromptu musical and literary pro
gram was rendered by we'll known To-
cal talent.
Before the banquet at the Guild hall
the choir held it's annual meeting at
the vestry of the church and elected
officers for the coming year.

she recovered her breath. Well, you

GETS FIRST PENSION.
Thos. Craven, of this City, Receives One
for Services on Pennsylvania Road.

for Services on pennsylvania ROAD.
Thomas Craven, formerly resident
of this city, and who has returned here
to spend the winter, has the honor of
receiving the first pension granted by
the Pennsylvania Railway company
to any of it's employees.
Many years ago Mr.. Craven left Ke-
nosha and went to Chicago to accept
position with the railway company and
had been in the employ Of the company
for the past thirtytwo years. A short
time ago he desired to retire from the
service of the company and make his
home with his children. Shortly after
he returned to Kenosha he was notified
that he had been retired by the COM
panY and that he would receive PEN
sion of SIS month as long as he lived.
He received the first pension a few
days ago and accompanying the check
was letter from the managers of the
road, thanking him for his long and
va1uab1 services.
The many friends of Mr.. Craven in
this city will be pleased to learn of his
good fortune, and while the money
may not be needed for the support of
old emp1oye, it comes as testimonial
to the splendid service which he rem
dered the company IN the past.

In the presence Of all the omens of
Legislative innovations that are threat
ening the people of Wisconsin, one is
inclined to pause and wonder what the
new generation is going to bring
forth. Certain bills, at present 1oiter-
ing about the Hobbies of the State Leg
is1ature waiting for an opportunity to
enter, are striking, if nothing more.
to seems to be in for more than it's
usual share of consideration by the
weuera BILE law makers of our State.
With one bill making it necessary for
those matrimonial1y inclined to pass a
strict medical examination before be-
sug allowed to enter the holy estate,
and another putting a premium on
children and a penalty on ce1ibacy, it
begins to look as if the way of the un
married man of the new century IN the
beautiful State of Wisconsin were go
ing TO be somewhat stony. If the
Stout marriage bill becomes law, a
man cannot marry, if he so desires,
without a certificate from the board of
gentlemen and ladies appointed to in
vestigate him, certifying that he is not
heir TO one or more of the thousand
ills tf1at are the natural legacy of hui
man flesh. The other two bills, pre-
pared by Assemblymdn Sarau, of Osh
kOsh, provide first, for marriages for
revenue, by putting a premium on
large families; and second, against
celibacy, by placing tax upon all ur-
married men of the age of thirty or
over.
1t is evident that the unmarried man
is going to have little trouble all his
own. Of course the Stout bill, if made
a law, would naturally tend to dimin-
ish the rate of increase in the popula-
ton of the State, and no doubt,
thoughtful of that fact, the bill of the
Oshkosh gentleman seeks to counter
act it by encouraging those without
the law to greater efforts. What the
Oiu taxing all men who have failed to
get married by the time they became
thirty will do with those who could
have been married under the old reg
ime, and would have had they foreseen
the future, remains to be seen. 1t
would appear that in all fairness some
degree of 1eniency should be shown to-
ward them. AS the session progresses
and it becomes more apparent that the
two bills are likely to pass, it would
not be surprising to hear of remark
able activity in the matrimonial mar
ket.
