The Plymouth Republican. (Plymouth, Ind.) 1878-1901, 1901-06-13

Princeton, Ind, June 11.-Henry
ination yesterday on the charge Of
criminal assault on girl Of 18. 1t
seems that the mob has concluded to
let the law take it's course, but the
sheriff has an ample guard to stand
of any mob. The little girl was able
to appear in court as witness. ReyD-
olds, in his defense, claims that he
thought the girl a woman, and that
she consented to the proposition, but
the child testifies that he pointed a
pistol at her head and frightened her
into compliance.

Passing of the Athletic Girl. 4,

The athletic girl, it is predicted, is to
be supplanted in popularity this sum-
mer by the girl of the olden type, who
knew nothing of outdoor sports except
a mild game of croquet be included in
the list and. Furthermore, did not care
to know. 1t is limited that the men
have lost interest to some extent in the
self possessed, Independent young wo-
man who can row a boat-and soil one,
too-play tennis, throw ball straight,
make century bicycle runs, tramp for
hours without getting fatigued, swim
long distances, etc, and that a reaction
has set in in favor of the old fashioned
type of girl, content to occupy her sum
mer days with purely feminine tasks
instead Of initiating her sport loving
brother. Golf has not apparently come
under the ban of alleged masculine dis
pleasure to quite the same extent as
other forms of sport, but the golf girls
skirt has been heightened until it just
escapes touching the ground, for fash
ions experts declare that it is not cor
rect to wear skirts that are overshort
even on the links. Whether or not
these predictions prove true and the
pendulum really does swing back to its
former position remains to be seen.
Meanwhile the shops are making a
brave showing of golfng outfits and
other sporting paraphernalia for wom-
en-, and Quitting costumes have not al
together ceased to attract attention.

A Good Thing.

An innovation in the matter of wom-
ems clubs has been introduced out
west. Kansas, of course. mothered it.
We always look at Kansas for the un-
usual. 1t is a darning club. Euchre
clubs, literary clubs and social clubs
have been a-plenty. This is strictly
utilitarian.
Mems socks are a speciality in this
new organization, and it has been de-
nounced as an encouragement to bach
elOrdom. The officers of the club are
the most expert members, and they as
sist the rest by showing how to mend
the worst holes. "She who cannot
darn cannot Join" is the clubs official
motto, but exceptions have been made
in the interest of uninstructed sisters,
and the motto no longer has the force
1t had at first. Meetings are held fort
nightly, and the club boasts of having
darned LA pairs of hosiery at sitting.
Members only are admitted to the
afternoon sessions, but in the evenings
admiring husbands are permitted to at
tend and TO watch their better halves
at work.-Kansas City Times.

fore raising the alarm. The fact that
he escaped with all his clothing. and
that he was the beneficiary of $1,000
insurance upon his wife's life led to
his arrest. At the cOroner's inquest
Maggie utterly refused to give any
testimony. Maggie at one'time was II
