INDIANA ADMIRALTY CASE.


There seems to have been-a serious mis-
understanding over the decision OF the
United States Circuit Court of Appeals in
the admiralty case of Gleason VS.. Duffy.
recently decided here on appeal from the
District Court u Indiana. This was an ac-
tion brought before Judge Baker in ad-
miraIty by James Duffy. of JeffersonviiIe
against whom John Gleason had recovered
a two-thousand-dollar judgment for an ac-
cident occurring on board Dufy's boat,
and the proceedings brought by Duffy in
the United states Court was TO limit his
liability under this Judgment to the ap-
praised value of the boat, which was S6O0.
under a federal statute limiting the liability
value Of the boat.
The Information given TO the press by
Mr.. Rocker, attorney for Gleason. on the
morning OF the decision and before 1t was
fully known what the decision really was,
was that Judge Baker had beef overruled
and reversed. and the attorney. at some
length, went into the alleged errors com
mitted by Judge Baker. 1t now appears
point presented to the court above, IL hold
ing that he properly allowed the limitation
Of liability under the federal statute and
that. Notwithstanding the Judgment of the
state court for 5000 against Duffy. only
$500 could be recovered from him. The
Court of Appeals. however. held that. as
the petition in admiralty was not filed until
after the Judgment In the state court. the
costs of the suit in the state court should
be paid by Duffy in addition TO the $500
value of the ship. as a mere matter Of
equity in their discretion under admiralty
rules

The Only Boy and His Sisters.
Philadelphia Times.

Philadelphia Times.
1t is an unwise mother who exalts the
only boy of the family on a pinnacle above
his sisters, for he will bear the mark of
this injudicious treatment through life.
There should be no favoritism. Let the
children be on a footing OF absolute equal
ity.
Mothers frequently will pass lightly over
faults in q small boy for which they will
severely reprimand his sisters. Some girl
ish mite is found in tears, her embryo ma
ternal feelings cruelty outraged because a
tyrant brother has injured a cherished doll.
The mother, instead of Furnishing the
~wrongdoer, regards the matter lightly or,
perhaps, at the most administers some
slight rebuke. Boys will be boys one
mother said, when such an Incident &C.
Cured the other day in a Philadelphia
nursery.
The one small boy should never become
the desrot of The nursery. He should be
on an equality with his sisters. He should
be taught to share, and share equally, his
candy, toys and books with his sisters. and
TO take part equally in the games and other
childish pleasures. Nor should the girls be
expected TO give in TO him in small matters
because of the sex. Frequently the only
boy is allowed to take precedence of his
sisters, is given the prettiest toys, the best
helpings Of pudding or cake. and worse
than this is, because of his youth and sex.
frequently permitted TO become a nuisance
TO srown-up persons. He rules the house
with a rod of iron," remarked a mother of
her small son of five the other day. and the
way she said it almost betokened pride,
certainly not regret or perturbation. The
truth of her remark made itself forcibly
apparent TO her visitors during their half
hour call, for the amount OF discomfort
that one small boy managed TO create by
his unchecked behavior was almost phe-
nomenal. A child like this is TO be pitied.

lack of training-argues III for his future.

HIGH SCHOOL SENATE.
The DISTINGUISHING Bill Is Passed by
the August Body.

There was a small attendance Of both
senators and visitors at the session Of the
Shortridge High school Senate yesterday
afternoon. However, the faithful ones
were present and an excellent meeting was
held. A resolution OF sympathy over the
death Of ADMIRAL Sampson was passed, and
then the DISTINGUISHING bill was read. The
fair Senator Mcdonald Laura Potter took
the floor and urged the passage of the bill.
t the close of the remarks of the Arkan-
sas speaker the small Senator Butler CAL
bert Burps) arose and proceeded to demand
the defeat of the measure. He grew de-
cidedly personal and declared that Senator
Pritchard earl Pritchard) had introduced
this bill so that the representative Demo-
cratic vote in the South would be dimin-
ished. This caused a number of senators to
demand the calling Of the gentleman to or
der, and the excitement was intense. IL
was with difficulty that the chair restored
order, and the enthusiastic senators were
only Quoted after the sergeant-at-arms had
been told TO seat them. Senator Butler was
called to order and later allowed to con-
tinue.
After this trouble was settled the leader
of the machine in control of the body. Sen
ator Deboe Charles Christian), gained the
floor and make known his views on the
matter. In a loud voice the Kentucky gem
tleman declared that the negro was not
given a chance in the South and deserved
the right TO vote. He also became lost in
his oratorical fight and grew personal. He
directed his charges against the former
speaker, and this aroused this senator's
ire. but he could not speak because ne had
been called TO order and not yet been given
the privilege Of the floor. However, the
friends OF Senator Butler demanded that
Deboe be called to order. which was done.
and the senator in question msekly took his
seat. He. too. was given the floor a short
time later.
The "rough-house' spirit, however. had
taken possession OF the body and there was
great excitement. IL was caused by the
president not putting a motion 10 suit one
Of the members. Things at last assumed a
normal temperature and the discussion of
the bin proceeded. Senator Perkins Ernest

of his speech a new member OF the body.

Political bigotry and race animosity
have had an apparently easy victory at the
biennial convention Of women's clubs in
session at Los Angeles.
What has been adopted nominally as a
compromise upon the color question is in
fact a complete surrender of the Northern
clubs to the manifestly superior tact which
directed the bigotry of the convention.
There is assuredly no reason in common
sense why educated and refined women be-
longing to the yellow. the brown or the
black races should not cooperate with
other Intelligent and refined women in pro-
noting industry and philanthropy. No
question OF social intercourse was involved.
Political bigotry so completely dominated
the women at Los Angeles that a rule has
been adopted requiring the unanimous vote
of the membership committee TO admit any
delegate. In case of a tie the question
is amusingly referred to the board OF d.
body will be required to elect. This brutal
and transparent subterfuge designed to
keep out women of native American col
ored blood if elected delegates by state
clubs was adopted by an Overwhelming
majority.
Whether on thinking the thing over self
respecting women who also respect the
Constitution of the United States will de-
sire in any considerable number to remain
monetary supporters of the farcical and
now un-American National Federation of
Women's Club is a question the answer TO
which uDbigoted women belonging to wom-
ems clubs will await with considerable in
tereSt.
The conviction has been growing rapidly
throughout the omen's clubs Of the coun-
try that the National Federation is both
useless and ridiculous. This conviction will
now become more general and its effect
will be the saving of considerable money
for more benign club uses than a biennial
travesty which has. ceased TO be merely alb
surd and has become malignant.
1t would have been vastly more to the
credit of the Los Angeles convention If the
majority had frankly voted that they are
in favor of reducing again TO slavery all
women in the United States whose blood is
not pure white.
A chemical investigation of blood cor
puscles might, IL is true, render the strict
application of such a decision acutely en-
barrassing in many unsupported places.
The triumph of political bigotry and So
cial barbarity at Los Angeles is a shame to
American womanhood.

One of the best cutters in the city told
me the other day that all of the effect of
a good looking cotton blouse was in the
way the pattern was laid on the cloth.
She said amateurs made everything too
straight up and down under the arms; be-
cause of that they get no spring" in the
waist. This is fatal on a slim woman.
In truth. such a line is disastrous 10
many figures, for women who have a full
bust and high chest are often fiat under
the arms.
That is why a thin woman. who is fat
chested, is padded around the armholes
and not across the bust.
She went on to say that another trouble
was in putting the under arm seam too
far forward 1t should go to the back as
far as possible, because the back wants
to be narrow at the waist line, and the
front wants to be given all the width that
the cloth affords.
She says that side bodies are not even
thought of in cotton blouses. There are
only three pieces. and that the fabric may
take up its whole width in one side of the
front. TIL line that a cutter wants to get
is a bias one from the top of the under
arm seam to the front of the belt.
The material should be arranged In this
manner. and the pattern laid on it TO carry
out that line. If there is to be any piecing
because of plaits and tucks, do it in the
front.
This is easy because the additional width
can be tucked or plated to correspond with
the rest of the front and joined under a
plat. This can be done even if the blouse
buttons down the back.
If the amateur will remember this ad-
vice from a great cutter there may be more
cotton blouses with good lines.
Fullness on the shoulder never gives the
right effect. If a blouse is sufficiently full
around the armholes and springs out over
the bust to the waist. it can be fiat at the
shoulders.
A woman with hollows above her collar
bone will make the effect altogether good
BY giving this bias spring from under the
arms and add to it a multitude of plaits
or tucks coming from the shoulder.
1t is this great difference liz cut that
makes or mars the tub gowns. AS for the
designs for the new ones. shown by all the
great designers and by some smart women
who nave returned from Paris, they are
simple. You and l can copy them easily.
But they won't look the same unless you
employ the greatest ingenuity in giving
fine lines and using the best pattern.
