A WIDOW WHO MERITS PITY.

When Henry Hiemenz, jr., of s. Louis. died the ether day he left S1,0O0. eco and d will which provided that his widow, who inherited the entire fortune was to strew the grave of his first wife with flowers every Sunday and on an niversaries of her birth and death. This probably is the acme Of refined cruelty. If the testator had provided the widow in order to keep the money, must climb a greased pole every Sunday morning, or give up corsets, or do her own wash ing, other women might have gone to her and encouraged her with the assur- ance that the money was worth the sacrifice; but to be compelled to streW flowers on the grave of the lady who Is now, let us hope. happy with the gen. tleman in paradise, will undoubtedly be regarded by all sOber-minded women as too much. The courts should inter- fere in this case and wipe out the obii- gation as being unnecessarily cruel and pressive.-Chicago Chronicle.

PADS FOR THE MANLY HIPS.

The latest bulletin from the London tailors says men who would be stylish Iy dressed during the fall and winter must have small waists and padded hips. The announcement is said to have caused general consternatiOn in swell circules. As far as the padded hips are concerned, most of the gentle men who consider it their duty to re- gard the tailor's fiat as law are not worried. Any one can have padded hips if he is foolish enoguh to want them: but the small waist is wholly different matter.
 The exact language of the pronuncia- mento from the tailors is: "NO man can hope to be stylishly attired if his waist does not taper triangle fashion from the shoulders
 It is singularly unfortunate that the wording of this order cannot be slight Iy changed. If it were said that the waist must taper triangle fashion to the shoulders a majority of the very genteel gentlemen of this country might be in fashion without the help of pad of any kind. As it is there is likely to great deal of quiet, patient suffering among those who yield to the tailor's dictates.
 What a pity it is that a free people must thus be given over to martyrdom by few London tailors. who probably see in the fact that King Edward has become quite thin since his illness a chance to inaugurate a style which shall effectually block the schemes of those vulgarians who have been plan ming to have last years suits sponged and pressed for further use.

The company published advertise

mittance of 81 for the inevitable out

and box of salve
The Postoffice Department charges that
letters returned by patrons to the COM

of the salve and were to be written on
the raper furnished by the company. But
as the company refused to send more
than the twenty-five sheets furnished in
the outfit it was impossible for the
patron to comply with the conditions uu.
der which he might earn the sS a thou

Strange Letter Received by Postmaster
General From a Northern
Village.

A letter addressed to the Postmaster
General and marked private and con-
fidential'' was received at the Postofice
Department yesterday from the chief of
police of a little Northern town, warn
ing Mr.. Payne that the postmaster there
was lawyer. and, therefore, should not
be allowed to hold a Government post
tion. The letter follows:
Hon. Postmaster General:
My Dear Sir-As will say to you, Is
it contrary to the Federal aw for a
postmaster to practice law and still hold
his commission as postmaster? And |
Will say another thing: Can he go on a
bond such as in court for anyone's ap-
pearance? our postmaster here is also
our attorney. and is but very little in the
pOstoffice His assistants do all the
work. If l understand right, post
master cannot be 4 lawyer and practice
law. This is done right along here, and
believe it is my duty 10 inform the
postofIice officials at Washington OF the
fact. "
