GROWS MUsTAcHE.

Much nonsense is talked from time to time about the terrible effects of ath- letic exercises for women. and lurid pictures are set before Us showing how man withers, and the woman is more and more. in height, in length and breadth of feet. and in circumference of ankle. Now it has been discovered that one of the penalties which the modern woman has to pay for her love of outdoor exercise is the growth of hair on the upper lip. Some genius has traced a distinct connection be tween the now extensive practice of electrolysis and the popularity of golf and gymnastic exercises: and pushing this theory little further some one else, doubtless, will announce present ly that the modern girl now includes a set of razors as we'll as a cigarette case among her personal belongings.
 Perhaps the truest indictment that can be brought against what is loosely called the athletic" woman, which means the woman with keen love for outdoor exercise. is that she invaria- bly, overdoes it. She rushes to ey- tremes and does foolhardy things. If she confined herself to exercises which are suitable to her sex. with it's physi- cal restrictions, and pursued them mod erately, nothing would he said. Most women ride horseback. for example, than which there is no more violent or more masculine exercise: but to ride to hounds was a recognized pursuit of English ladies: even in the days when l fainting was de rigueur and "vapours'' were general women rode as a matter of course. But nowadays we seem unable to do anything without making a "cu1t'' of it. and an exhibition Of ourselves. whereas if our girls just took their golf. their swimming and their gyrnnastic exercises is a quiet | fashion. athleticism for women would 20 uneondemned.

UNMERITED CENSURE.

Censure of the Newport set,' is
 again in full blast. Many newspa- pers that are conservative enough on
 most subjects are immoderate in their
 expressions of contempt and scorn against Newport. Silly stories set
 afioat by unfortunate reporters for yell low journals who must provide copy
 or else lose their places are accepted seriously and made the texts of long sermons against the vanities of New
 port. Trivial and harmless incidents of Newport life are seized upon, exag-
 gerated and ridiculed.
 The most absurd feature of these attacks on Newport is that their au- 1 thors seek to give the impression that the social circle of Newport is made up of persons utterly foolish and friv- olous. That members of the summer colony at Newport mean to have good time and to amuse themselves In l the pleasant summer months as they please is beyond question. But their , methods of amusement are about the same as those followed by people else- where. They are Americans favored by fortune, and they are, for the most ] part, very bright and active Ameri- cams.
 | A foreigner on reading the indis criminate filings at Newport society
 might easily conclude that the Ameri-
 can people are very envious-unabie to look upon the pleasures of those , who have attained wealth and social | emfnence without feelings of bitter ness and hatred.
 Many Of the old and well known American families of New York and 1 Newport are extremely kind to news papers. They treat the representa-
 lives of newspapers with great cour- tesy and rather than seem disobligfng they often give information that really
 concerns no one but themselves. Tn 1 return, they are accused of rushing l into print, and seeking to advertise themselves. If they are silent, infor-
 nation about dinners and parties is gathered by indirect and sometimes
 questionable methods, and reports arc
 sometimes manufactured on 8 very
 meagre groundwork of fact. Light
 trifies of everyday life are seized upon
 and made to appear in light entirely false.
 The result of wholesale abuse of people who have wealth and the dis 1 l them more and more from the masses. The time will come when, if it is im-
 possible for persons of wealth and cul-
 ture to live at Newport in decent pri- vacy, they will make their summer l homes elsewhere. Furthermore, they
 will as the years go by, take more 1 and more care that their homes are as we'll protected from the gaze of the 1 crowd as that of the man of moderate circumstances If the disposition to abuse families of independent means
 that find pleasure in social pursuits
 continues, many will go to lands
 where they will be spared annoyance
 and will spend wealth accumulated here entirely in foreign lands. Ameri-
 ca should be pleasant place for all
 who observe the law and whose lives
 are free from meanness.-- Worcester

Statistical investigation goes to show that security values in the United States advanced about 4.500 millions after President McKinley's first election, says Banker Clews, and that the present downward movement represents shrinkage of fully $500 millions, showing that the boom ad. vance has largely disappeared. Such estimates are, of course, only approxi. mate, but they are probably not far out of the way, and very likely they at least represent the proportionate de, cline, So extensive and rapid q shrinkage as this is nothing less thar panic of the severest type and while concentrated banking interests have fortunately been able to prevent a sud

Our republican friends have been husv since Monday explaining how U was possible for them to make sucn q sweep. There is nothing very alarm ing about it, after all. 1t is oniy a few years ago since Thomas D. Bar low, a republican, was elected mayor. He served his term, and we all renaeia- Der what happened then; why the democrats won the next election by q majority larger than the republicans had last Monday. Politics is very hard to understand and our friends who take office next January will realize 1t when the next revolution comes, for it is bound to come, just so sure as we keep on electing mayors every two years. There is only one bad feature about this whole thing. A certain number of Waterbury people keep right along telling the outside world how wicked Waterbury was, and how much we deserved the censure of the people of the state and the country at large. If we have no respect for our selves. outsiders will have none either. Let us remember the words of the old song, Laugh and the world laughs with you.' We are not half as bad as we have been painted Let us at home let up on throwing mud and we will all be happy. The election is over and the mud throwing has had its effect and presumably done its work, so instead of drowning on wa. terbury let every one from this time forward sound it's praises.

A cheering runaor is abroad that the army and the navy may yet sound the call to arms on the same football field, says a writer in a sporting journal
 The disagreement between the ath- Ietic commanders of West Point and Annapolis pained and disappointed that great part of the public which is both sport loving and patriotic. It has been the fashion for the colleges to generate hostilities over eligibility rules" and other technical obstruc- but the cadets of West Point ana An napolis had played their game with refreshing candor and spirit, mixing no 'swar medicine outside their foot ball clothes. It is certain that the cadets of the two academies are earn estly in favor of getting together, and the officers who are 1n control of ath- Ietic relations should be able to find a way out of the snarl. When these militant youths are somewhat older, they will become entangled in plenty of red tape and technicality, afioat and ashore, and it's over early to begin their education along these lines The nation has become weary at times over the loneliness and jealousiesp of the army and navy relations, and there is no place for them in the academies and on the football field. 1t is not for the common or garden" civilian to suggest ways and means, but surely it is possible for the army and navy to extricate themselves from this foe of misunderstandin by means of ar officers and gentlemen's" agreement which will end an unhappy episode.
