FREE SPEECH
NOW CURBED.
Drastic Measures Obtain in Old
Ireland.
PRESS is BRIDLED.
Jails Filled With Leading Men
and Women People Suffer
Silently Under "Crimes Act"

| Dublin Ireland.-The remarkable
spectacle Is presented in Ireland of
the country absolutely free from
"high crimes and misdemeanors. .
which is at the same time laboring
under the most drastic of the many
coercive measures which have been
imposed upon it during it's unhappy
history.
The result is the jails of the country
are filled with some OF the leading
men in political and educational life.
Even woman is not sacred from the
grasp OF the oppressor, for the plucky
proprietor of Waterford newspaper.
Mrs. O'Mahony, has felt the bruut of
highlands attack on the right of free
speech.
In the twenty one western, mid
western aud southwestern counties
where the suspension of the habeas
corpus act has been proclaimed ana a
state OF lawlessness is, by inference,
supposed to exist. the judges on the
winter circuit If the Assizes have been
in severa! cases presented with pairs
OF white gloves. The presentation of
these gloves is time honored custom,
which indicates that the calendar of
the country interested is entirely free
from felonous crime.
Notwithstanding these obvious dem
constructions of the excellent morals of
the people the judges, who are all ap-
pointed through the machinery of
Dublin Castle, lose no opportunity to
make long speeches about lawless op-
position to CONSTITUTED authorities
and gravely warn the people that the
resources of the government will be
called into use to 'repress any out
breaks"
But curiously enough there are no
outbreaks, nor are there any indica
tons Of any, and still the 'scrimes
acts" is being proclaimed from day 10
day all over the country. Even Dub
lin, the most peaceable CT the large
cities of Europe, aud one which is sim
gularly free fl ON atrocious crimes, has
been placed under the ban, despite
the protests of its representative
councils.
The other day at Mullingar the pre-
siding judge received from the grand
jury of the country a pair Of white
gloves. Immediately after that pro-
tes against the proclamation of the
''crimes act'' in the county was hand
ed up to him. The Judge, an ap-
pointee of Dublin Castle, of course.
read the protest, then tore it into bits
Notwithstanding the fact that few
minutes before he had expressed his
qualification because there was no i'm
portant case to be presented for trial.

DISTRESS TO
THOUSANDS
Brought by Blizzard and the
Coal Famine.
POOR FREEZING
While Miles of Coal Cars Line
Railroads Bulletin Gives Hint
as to What May Be Expected.

Chicago, I'll. The severe blizzard
and the coal famine has brought
keen distress to thousands OF fami-
Tiles in Chicago. Zero weather is
likely to continue for several days
with consequences in death and Suf-
fering that are little short of appall-
ing. The efforts of the state and city
authorities and special grand jury
have been ineffective in relieving
the fuel shortage, Notwithstanding
the fact that miles and miles of cars
loaded with coal and billed for Chi
cago line the tracks of several rail
roads within an hours haul of the
city.
Some idea of the situation may be
gained from the following bulletin
issued by the health department.:
Fully 10 per cent of nearly 200, 900
residents of Chicago are suffering
from ailments of a grave character
caused by privation and exposure
resulting from the coal famine. AL
ready these ailments are reflected
in the enormous increase of deaths
among those at the extremes of life
the young and the aged, in both
NJ hn Of fol 1of
ance are at the lowest. Since the
first of the year there has been an
increase of nearly 20 Q9.2) per cent.
in the number of deaths among
those under 5 years OF age over the
number in the corresponding period
last year, when this death rate was
about normal. Among those over 60
years Of age the increase is much
greater-24 per cent. last week over
the week previous and 36.7 per
cent. over the normal rate OF the
corresponding period of 1902"
The actual search for evidence of
a combine of coal dealers for the
purpose of forcing up the price of
fuel will be undertaken by the
special grand jury. which began it's
task under the direction of States
Attorney Deneen and Attorney
General Hamlin. Twenty coal
men, some the head of wholesale
firms, and others chiefs in the coun-
ellis of corporations operating mines,
are under summons to appear and
tell what they may know of the

are not being ordered into the city
and emptied without delay. The
claims of the complaining fuel con-
sumers who are suffering from the
impossibility of obtaining coal at
any reasonable figure are based on
the declarations of those who have
Investigated the situation and who
declare that the railroads, with pos
sibly one or two exceptions, are do
ing all they sscan to facilitate the
moving of fuel.
1t is said that these Investigators
have discovered trains of coal cars
sidetracked and labeled with pla-
cards instructing railroad freight
crews to hold the consignments in
definitely. 1t is also asserted that
beyond the city lines. on one and
probably two roads, countless tons
of coal have been taken from the
cars and heaped up on either side
of the tracks for as much as three
quarters of a mile.

CASTRO FIRM

Washington. = Advices received

President Castro has made it con-
dltlon that the blockade shall be

claims. Moreover, 1t now develops
that in this request Venezuela is
likely to have tie support Of Italy.
The United States, though not a
party to the negotiations, of course
will throw the weight of it's moral
influence or the same side. The
Italian government is Influenced in
its course by purely economic con-
dltions. 1t does not desire to crush
Venezuela but simply to procure
the repayment of claims. The con-
tlnuance OF the blockade by sapping
the very life out of the country
threatens to make it impossible for
Venezuela to pay these claims with
IN any reasonable period of time. so

her by private arrangements or bv

that there is really no sufficient rea-
son for a continuance of the block
ade, which is working great harm
to trade, as it already has had it's
full moral influence upon Castro
and further punishment would
serve no useful purpose, in the
Italian view. The Italian govern
ment it is stated, remains thoroughly
loyal to the alliance into which it
entered with Germany and Great
Britain. but that fact, it is held
would not necessarily operate to
prevent Italy from using her moral
influence to have the alliance do
what it regards as right, while still
keeping within it's lines.

WITH DAME Fashion

NEW YORK, Nov. 2S.-The day OF
the inexpensive gown has arrived by
this is not meant that one can get
prettv frock for a mere song, but no"
that the first rush of the season Il
over it is possible to gain several real
w artistic effects at a cost within the
reach of the average woman.
The limitations of expensive faprlcs
are improving. Manufacturers nave
profited by early mistakes ana the
materials now purchaseable at medl-
UNI prices no longer have the really
counterfeit appearance.
For instance very pretty albatross
of nuns yelling can be had for thlr-
ty-nine cents a yard in all OF the
fashionable colorings of the season.
Built over an imitation silk lining,
though a genuine silk ruffie on the
petticoat is a necessfty-such a dress
should not cost a great deal
\ dainty shade of eminence blue is
developed upon Charmingly simple
lines. The skirt is a plated affair
fitting closely over the hips with a
yoke effect and a straight panel down
the front. Toward the bottom it
slopes outward where it falls lOng
and full over the feet, dipping slight
~ at the back. Instead of the usual
bodice. the waists shows an Elton eff
feet. coming to the Waistlne and hav-
ing a deep plain yoke of the albatrOss
laid in folds and piped with a darker
shade Of satin. The folds continue
down the waist at the back and eX-
tend into two little tails below the
belt line. The front is box plated and
comes below the waist. 1t opens over
a fun fall of heavy lace, not neces-
sarily expensive. giving a blouse eff
feet over a girdle of blue satin.
The sleeves are tight below the ell
bow becoming very full and loose at
the wrist where they are caught into
deep turn over cuffs.
Many of the stores are offering rem
nants of satin in the fashionable
shades for half a dollar, that sold for
twice as much at the beginning Of the
season and the same is true of silks.
Such bargains relegate to the year the
old joke about women shoppers who
never buy. for such reductions are too
great a temptation to let go buy and
many who may not need the materials
at present buy them and put them
away for another season.
There are also many pretty trim
mings in the shops varying from
twenty-five cents a yard upward.
Fagotins, which is always a pretty
decoration comes at ten cents a yard
in all colors. This, with French knots
and a few medallions of inexpensive
lace makes pretty garniture for a

simple imitation wolfe frock The
skirt is a fifteen gored affair made
with a yoke over the hips. This yoke
| is formed of transverse tucks, alter
mated with bands Of fagoting arrang-
| ed in the same way. The scalloped
effect gained by this arrangement, is
| finished by another band of fagoting,
which joins the skirt with the yoke.
Fagoting, alternated with French
| knots trims the seams and a three
| inch hem finishes the bottom of the
skirt. A pretty substitute for French

| darker shade.
The bodice carries out the same idea
of the skirt but has yoke of lace
| over satin. The French knots are
Struggled through the pattern of the
lace to add to the daintiness of the
effect Finishing the yoke is a fiounce
of the voile, unpretentiOusly finished
with a tiny hem headed with a row
of the fagoting.
The sleeves show a pretty effect.
From the shoulders to the elbows the
tops are tucked in the transverse
fashion of the hip-yoke. Below this
| there is a graduated frill falling over
| a close fitting cuff of satin and lace
| that reaches to the elbow.
I A girdle of satin pointed at the
| front and extending several inches up
the back confines the waist.
Entire taffeta gowns have been re-
vived with a furore hardly expected
at this season. Brown is used 70 car
ry out a very dainty design. The
| blouse has a deep yoke shocked half
way down. from this the silk falls in
to a high pointed girdle, which en-
circles the waist. 1t is buttOned up
the back and has shocked high stock
around the neck. The sleeves have
a wide row of shocking just between
the elbow and top, from whence they
fall very full, caught into cuffs also
of shocking.
ON fact the shocking is the only
trimming on the dress and affords a
delightful change from lace and en-
broidery The skirt has a deep hip
yoke of it and below the yoke falls
very full all the way round, with
three deep tucks running vertically
around it at the bottom.
Corresponding with the dress is
big brown hat turned up a trifle at
one side with a long plume shading
from deep brown to white, curling
over the brim. Brown satin rosettes
nestle against the hair
At the theaters there are seen some
pretty head dresses this season. With
blondes, fiat wreaths of ivy or au-
tumn leaves are faVorites, while flow
ers seem to be the fad among brun-
nettes, pOpies, scarlet lobella and pur-
pie pansies being selected to magni-
fly their charms 1t is almost impos-
Sible to give any particular spot in
which to place these decorations, for

STYLES of hair dressing are as varied
study her own style before attempt
ing floral garniture. Wherever it is
possible a flower should be nestles at
I the back of the ears, one on either
side forming a pretty decoration.
| Evening coats of white taffeta are
very pretty. They are interlined with
| flannel for warmth and lined with in
expensive silk or imitation silk. A
deep collar of lace is the only trim
ming required but in many instances
the coats are faced with white velvet
to which tiny tails are appliqued to
| initiate the effect Of ermine.
| The long coats of walking dresses
are being rounded away at the front
for all the world like a mans cutaway.
The mannishness of the design, how
ever, is offset by two or three cir
cular ruffles around the shoulders
/ finished with fancy silk braid.
The white and light shades Of kid
gloves which are indispensable on
account of the number of light dress
es worn are at once delight and de-
spair to the woman of fashion. While
they add much to the smartness of a
toilette, they soil easily even with
extreme care. However, the economi-
cal woman may clean her gloves east
ly by putting them in a self-sealing
bottle filled with gasoline; the bottle
is sealed and shaken for time; after
again. When the gloves are taken
out and rubbed with a flannel cloth
they will be as clean as new.
Much time and thought are expend-
were never SO smart as this year.
Flowers made Of crepe are a favorite
trimming, but for these the simplest
blooms are selected, such as the
daisy, wild rose or single voiler
spiders of dull silk threads set in
squares Of crepe are also pretty. This
idea may be reproduced in trimmings
for colored gowns with excellent re-
suits.
Fashionable footgear will include
dull leather shoes with no tips and
glazed patent leather. The ornate
buckles affected last winter and in
the early spring will not be revived
by. women who wear low shoes
throughout the winter. However
pretty, they are not in good taste for

Bands of plaid silk are pretty for

pecially when the skirts are arranged
in tiers. These bands come by the
yard and can be purchased for
nominal sum.

to what kind of a city New York will
be when Tammany assumed control

the town is not wide open after the

lose money on the investments they
are making on the strength Of the

been hard to rent under the present
adminstra ton in both the old and new

clamoring for leases at stiff prices.

out for only two years as the holders
are not taking chances on Tammany's
staying power longer than that time.
