ONE WOMAN'S WORK.
She Sews. Keeps House and IL EN-
pIoyed in store.

For the benefit of the young woman
who thinks she is overworked when she
has busted her own apartments and
looked over the clothes fresh from the
laundry to see if they need mendiag,
the duties undertaken by a young wo-
man in one of the shops might be
mentioned The young woman in ques-
ton is of slight build and delicate
aspect, yet she is the buyer in the lace
department of the store in which she is
employed Every day except Saturday
she is kept busy from s a. m. until 6
D. m. behind the counter, and on Satur-
day it is II p. m. before she is finally
released from durance vile and allow
ed to go home to rest.
She makes every piece of the clothes
she wears-underwear gowns and even
coats sometimes. She trims her own
hats. and darns her own stockings, and
does the hundred and one little things
that are necessary to keep a wardrobe
in oruer.
But this is not all-besides, she keeps
house. ordering the three meals day
and exercising a watchful supervision
over windows and corners to see that
dust does not unduly collect on them.
How does she accomplish all this?
Only persistent, tireless, energetic
woman can answer. and yet the hard
working one doesn't consider herself i'll
used at all. She says that she even
has time to see IKE best things that
come to the theatres and to read num-
Der of the new books. She reads
daily newspaper as well, Of course.
It's only another instance TO prove
that when a woman will she will, no
matter how impossible the task may
seem. A man couldn't think OF per-
forming such a diversity of duties. but,
then. a man wouldn't be expected to.
Reminds one of that unpleasant old
adage. "A mans work is from sun to
sun. but woman's work is never done,
doesn't it?

WoMEN'S SHOES.
More Sensible In Size and Weight
Than Formerly.

Exchange.
According TO a saleswoman in we'll
known shoe store, women are wearing
their footwear larger, in proportion,
than they ever did before. Once upon
a time new shoe meant a period OF
torture. Comfort was done away with
for the time, so long as the shoes were
new. and pain of all sorts was endured
without murnur This was the
'+breaking-in" period.
That day is fast coming to an end
and women are buying their shoes with
an eye to more comfort and less vanity
now. The woman who few years ago
delighted in wearing a No. "a last,
asks at present for a No. CO. last
without particle of regret for her lost
grandeur.
In a shoe store yesterday sales
woman asked her customer what size
shoe she wanted.
No particular size" said the GUS
toner, airily. Il simply want large
shoe one that will fit without hurting,
and look we'll but be ocGifortao ole. I've
passed that period where Pm wiling to
endure untold agonies for the sake of
saying | wear a No. Shoe
A difference is also noticed lately in
the thickness OF the soles worn by the
feminines. Instead of the thin paper
ones our grandmothers wore, plowman-
like soles are worn to-day. This is an
evidence of greater common sense on
the part Of women.
Men never break in their shoes, and,
as rule, buy them as they do their
hats--a size too large, put them on in
the store and walk off rejoicing
Through the change in the number
ing of shoes, the masculines now wear
a boot that more nearly fits them than
ever before" explained the sales
woman. THE man who is sure he can
wear nothing less than No. 7 shoe
leaves the store perfectly happy in one
a size smaller, and the secret Is that
when he looks in his footwear he sees
something like this-.25349-and thinks
it means &c, There's nothing like
mind over matter"

Haroer's Bazaar.
A physician ascribed the complaint
known as floating kidney" from
which, he says. thousands of women in
the country suffer. Though many of
them may not know it, l2r-ey to tNc
wearing of COMPRISING corsets, an
which he considers the straight-form
corset accentuates if it does not actual
ly produce. Another physician pre-
diets race of oddly formed women
If this present corset is long INDUCED
in. Already the female figure of the
moment is taking on a serious unnat-
ural twist. and this is likely to be en-
phasized and increased with the con-
t!nued wearing of the corset. Another
physician said that he would abolish
every corset if he could. He admitted
this to be impossible. so he took refuge
in a second proposition that they
should be made of the listest material
possible, should be fitted individually
to each figure, to insure a minimum
OF pressure at the most vital points
He objected to the present corset for
several reasons. one of them being the
low bust, which tended to bring the
pressure directly across the bust in
way that, il continued, might produce
very serious evils in the way of tu-
mors, malignant and otherwise.

A Loss TO THE STATE DEPART
MENT,

The enforced resignation of Hon.
Thomas w. Cridler, native West Nir-
ginian. as Third Assistant Secretary of
state, in order to make room FOR
friend of Senator Lodge, of Massachu-
setts-the Mark Hanna of the Roose-
vert administration-has aroused the
entire West Virginia delegation IN
Congress into an attitude that is any
thing but loving toward the admins
tration.
The excuse for the ousting of Mr..
Cridler-namely, that his management
of the Morocco affair was not satisfac-
tory to Secretary Hays evidently
not the real reason. since Mr. Cridler's
service of over a quarter of a century
has made him probably the best in
formed diplomat at Washington and
one that could give all sorts of points
or correct methods of procedure to a
diiettante in craftsmanship such as
Secretary Hay.
Mr.. Cridler's lengthy experience and
thorough knowledge of the foreign af-
fairs of the government made him a
most valuable. man and the State De-
partment could aitely better afford
TO lose Secretary Hay. himself.
Tire protests of the West Virginia
delegation, however. are not apt to cut
any figure with Mr.. Roosevelt, who
seems to delight in rough riding over
We politicians.

invest 1t for them. Possibly the wo-
men, being unfamiliar with the work
ings of the Board of Trade, were more
easily induced to part with their saw
ings. But those who condemn the
speculative spirit must not condemn
the women too severely. The patrons
OF gold bricks are usually of the mas
culine persuasion and it is a mistake
to think that women are gullibie be-
cause of their sex.
Hamlet was only mad nor nor'-west.
When the wind was southerly he knew
a hawk from a hernshaw. Women
may get bit by designing manipulators
of the stock market. But try to palm
off piece of shoddy on them and they
know rag pulp from the real thing
every time. How many men can TIL
whether one of those bewitching wat
ermelon pnk shirt waists that look so
retchng IS mercerized or not? What
woman cant, the first crack out of the
box? A woman can tell to potatoes
eve whether you are giving her good
measure or not, while there Is hardly
man eAtant who would not readily ac-
cept three quarts for gallon or who
can tell a plugged peck from the eight
quart affair.
Perhaps the lesson of this little ex
perience is that honesty is the best
policy and that the question of sex
doesn't enter into the effort to get
something for nothing. At the most,
if women have a sphere it would be
well to stick to it, and when some
member Of the Board of Trade" offers
to make them rich, to refer him or her
to the man of the family. The man
runs a pretty good chance to get stuck,
but he has the advantage of expert
ence and knowledge of the ways Of
the world

SLANDERING WHEELING.

Mrs Nation is going to Wheeling to be
tried. We don't know what for unless
that has come to be the only way she can
get her name in the papers.-Chicago

This time the ''home defender has a
good case, even If there is a little adver-
Using on the side-Intelllgencer.
And our neighbor on Fourteenth
street is doing all that it can to help.
Mrs Nations manager advertise his
show enterprise, which advertising
has included heralding Wheeling
throughout the country as 'the wicked
est city in the South
This will do Wheeling no good-but
the Intelligencer has never lent its aid
to upbuilding Wheeling, and has done
what II dared to defeat every munich
pal enterprise in the past decade that
and welfare. In this it has usually
been actuated by purely partisan poli-
teal motives, as now it is guided simp-
ly by partisan spite against Demo-
cratic Mayor and Democratic Chief
of Police
. Toe charge that Wheeling is 'the
yickedest city in the South" is as false
as anything can be. There is not
city in the South where the laws are
. more strictly observed or where the
people are more law-abiding and there
is not a city anywhere of its size in
the whole country that requires less
police protection, or that has better
police protection.
Under the present regime-not per-
feet by any means-the evil of Sunday
saloons is less marked and less often
sive than ever before in the history of
Wheeling. AS long as the public pat
ronize it the Sunday side door will be
open, or the greater evil of the
.'speak-easy' win flourish, but the
Sunday side door is not as wide open
now as it was under the last Republi-
can regime in this city Then the sa-
looms never closed. Now they at least
close promptly at midnight Saturday
and stay closed at least until daylight
and the Sabbath morn is not now
desecrated by drunken Saturday night
revellers-as it regularly was under
the last Republican administration.
This is much gained If it isn't every
,aing. In the matter of Sunday obser-
vance Wheeling will compare records
with any city in the South and with
nine-tenths of the cities in the country.

that Il marriage contracted in this State
between white man and negro woman
in 1861, was invalid and that the children
born of such marriage did not inherit an
estate left to the lawful grand children Of
the parties. 1t was shown that in 1866
the South Sarollna Legislature passed an
act prohibiting the inter-marriage Of
white and colored persons, and reiter-
ated it in the act of 1866. Under the code
of 1872 these two acts were repealed by
the Republican State government. Under
the present constitution inter-marriage
between white and colored persons IS
prohibited. The real estate in DISPUTE is
said to be valuable. and the loss will be
heavy to the mulatto claimants.

HANNA MILKING THE OFFICFEOLD-
ERS.

The Register is in receipt of print
et. circular mailed from Columbus, O..
t. consula. official in Ireland begging
contributions to the Ohio campaign
fund. 7 he circular which thus found
its way back to this country, shows
that the Hanna machine is not content
to fry the fat out of the officeholders in
the United States, but extends the fry
ing pan to all parts of the world where
an official is employed by the govern
ment. This hold up circular is
neatly worded and while not containing
direct demand for contributions the
recipient is given plainly to under
stand that a voluntary" contribution
would be the proper and wise thing for
the officeholder to send along. The
circular sets forth:
Two years ago the finance committee
of the Ohio Republican State executive
committee prepared and mailed circu-
lar letter, calling attention to the inn
portance of the State campaign that
year and stating that voluntary contr-
buttons for the legitimate expenses
would be very gladly received. These
letters were mailed to the leading Re-
publiCans throughout the country. Be
cause some of the letters were delivered
to federal officers within the govern
ment buildings where they were en-
ployed, over-zealous friends of the civil
service law contended that the law had
been thereby violated and brought the
matter to the attention of the federal
grand jury. The law on this subject for
bids soliciting campaign contributions
States in any room or building occupied
by him in the discharge of his official
duties but the grand jury very sensibly
concluded that IL was no violation of this
law to address a letter to a postmaster
or to any federal officer in a government
building merely for the purpose of in
forming him he might contribute to the
campaign fund il he so desired.
After thus beating the devil around
the stump as to the civil service law,
the circular goes on to impress upon
the officeholder the immense import
apce to the Republican party of the
Ohio campaign this year and the emf
nent desirability of the victim sending
forthwith portion of his salary to the
Treasurer of the Finance Committee of
the Republican State Committee at
Columbus.
Evidently the Ohio machine is scared
and has taken extraordinary means to
corrupt the election in Ohio this year.

MANILA. October 2S.-The eonstab-

Panay. in which twenty-five insurgents
were killed and three captured, togeth-
er with a quantity of arms and ammu-

The news from Gen. Hughes regard

encouraging. Lorego has surrendered

1t is believed that the recent nantes

chiefly due to the lack of food. the in

outlets to the coast in order to obtain
this. The first labor problem growing
out of the new tariff has arisen. A

DRESSING ON $500 A YEAR.
1t Would be Hard Work For a So
ctety Woman.

A great deal of discussion has been
provoked by Mrs. Roosevelts an
nouncement that any woman can dress
on $500 a year. There can be no
doubt that the great majority of ,wom-
en- manage to make a very decent ap-
peararce en- this amount, or even less,
but these are women who do not oc-
cupy the station held by Mrs. Roose-
welt.
1t is extremely hard to believe that
that lady, when occupying the execu-
tive mansion at Albany, managed to
purchase tie myriads of frocks that
her conspicuous position demanded
with so small an amount. Did she pro-
vide reception gowns, street gowns,
evening gowns, house gowns and ad-
juncts necessary to these with it? 1t
wOulc take q manager of no mean
ability 10 90 so.
y business woman who considers
herself mcst economical in dressing
spends more than this for her ward-
robe. and her gowns are not silkllned,
but are modest in material and make.
An income II $500 year would hardly
PERM. its possessor to own a tailor
made gown, Cor the see or SIS demand
ed for this would make hole quite
disproportionate in the lump sum. 1t
would not admit of the wearing of
elaborate underwear, even though the
wearer made it herself, and it would
put furs ana laces, except the cheapest
sort, out of the question.
TO the young woman who dresses
neatly and prettily on $3.50 year--and
there are many of these-S300 seems a
large amount. but to the woman who
has not time to make her own clothes
and no home to take a sca.nstrGss to.
it hardly suffices for a modest ward
robe.
