FAT WOMEN REVOLT
Only WlIlOwy Forms Can Wear
New Styles.

CHICAGO, Sept. 16.-Open revolt
against the new stlyes In women's
gowns was threatened by the repre-
Sentatives of stout women at the ses-
sion of the National Dressmakers' as
ISOLATION yesterday. The exposition
of new gowns and lectures on the lat
est modes raised a small hurricane
that threatened for O time to sweep the
leaders in the, fashion, movement off
their feet. Only the realization of the
fact that there was nothing for 1t but
submission to fashions decree subdued
the revolutlonists, who were just lit
tie more than perturbed.
The trouble started when It became
evident that the willowy figure is still
ut" Even the wire models were rig
ged up with slender shoulders, waists
and hips and the demonstrators show
ed lack of regard for the physically
robust. s,sss..v..
These styles will make stout wom-
en- caricatures of themselves" one
dressmaker said. mot a bit of them is
adapted to their needs"
This was only the beginning of the
general protest, which did not come
directly from the stout women.
1T is fact known to every dress
maker" said an official OF the organi-
cation, that no woman ever will ad-
NIT that she has a stout figure. Con-
sequently her dressmaker has to stand
up for her rights on such an occa-
sion as this"
And the dressmakers did stand up"
for the numbers of their patrons whom
they will be unable to satisfy.
"Caricatures" was not the strongest
word applied to the appearance that a
stout woman will make rugged out in
the new styles.
1T simply will be impossible for me
to adhere to these styles" dress
maker from Wyoming declared. II
shall not attempt to do It,"
But" began the demonstrators,
what are you going to do?"
Dor" answered the Westerner. I'VE
will make out own styles"
So wyoming went on record as a
competitor of Paris in the styles for
women's gowns. but delegates nearer
Chicago plainly were puzzled. The
cause of the trouble was that instead
of having skirts built with q curve to-
ward the knee, outlining the figure dis
tinctly, they have q big sweep, with
lot of extra betting about the waist
and fullnes in. places where garments
have been close-fitting.
Even the assurance of Miss Fannie
Reiss, of New York, who arrived early
in the day, that matters would work
out all right failed to allay the gen
eral distrust that was felt by the mo-
distes and the visitors. Although the
willowy figure has been the stylish
figure for some time. It is now even
more So

up stakes in the district which their
feuds with the McCoys for years made

The Hatfields were thoroughly tired

PARDON FOR MAN
CONVICTED OF PEoNAeE
President Seems Convinced That the
Law Has Been INDICATED.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Sept. 16.-The
president has granted full and uncon-
ditional pardons to George D. and Ba-
rancas f. Cosby. convicted at Mont
gomery, Ala, of violation of the peon-
age law. These men were indicted for
holding Pike Swanson in a condition of
peonage, pleaded guilty on June 80,
l5u3, and on the same day were SEN
fenced to Imprisonment for year and
day in the United States penitentiary
at Atlanta, Ga. They have been i'm
prlSoned ever since.
In June more than eighty indictments
against individuals for violation of the
peonage law were returned at Mont
gomery and several convictions were
secured, the sentences imposed ranging
from one to five years The president
granted the pardons upon the earnest
recommendation of Judge Jones, who
sentenced the prisoners.
In his letter to the president, Judge
Jones says:
THE favorable recommendation now
made proceeds on no idea that the SEN
fences were unjust; but solely from the
conviction that the punishment already
undergone by the prisoners has ac-
complished all the real ends of the law
In their cases. The prisoners have I'M
dergone the humiliation of imprison-
ment in the penitentiary, the sting of
condemnation by their neighbors and
associates and the wide publicity of
their offense. There is no ground for
believing that they will ever again, un-
der any circumstances whatever, en-
gage in like practice. They attempted
no defense, but pleaded guilty at the
earliest opportunity. They were con-
trite and admitted that they justly de-
served punishment. The reform of Of

contemplates that, has been completely

County Commissioner j. C. Lynch and

their determination to bring civil suits
for 100000 damages for false impris-

with their arrest, whom they will
charge with conspiracy. Lynch and
Reilly were charged with having criti-

miners not to return. Former Attorney
General Eugene Engley, counsel for
four union leaders who are held pris-
oners in the military guardhouse, and
Attorney John H. Murphy, of the West
ern Federation of Miners, consulted to-
day with reference to protection of the
union miners from alleged aggressions
of the militia. After the conference Mr.
Murphy said:
THE Pennsylvania decision, which
evidently guides Gen. Chase in making
arrests of union men, may be good law
In Pennsylvania, but when 1t conflicts
with the constitution of the state, as II
certainly does, can have no effect here
There is nothing in the constitution OF
this state which can uphold the pro-
ceedings of the militia since they have

stitution the military Of the state IL

HARD LUCK CAMPS
ON THIS MANS TRAIL
Twins Are Blamed for the Ca.
IamitieS That Followed
Their Birth.

William Fitzgerald, who was killed at
the street railway power house Satur-
day, was one of the most unfortunate
men in the world.
Last November he was burned by a
gas explosion in an elevator and bare
ly escaped with his life.
A year before he fell through several
stories of the Chamber Of Commerce
building, then in course of erection.
He was widower for thirteen years
when he met his wife, who had suffer-
ed q similar bereavement for the same
length of time.
In five years he had become the
father of seven children-three sets of
twins and a son-the first born.
Just after his accident of last No
vember he said said:
Il have had all sorts of ill luck, and
I think the next time anything hap
pens to me will not survive"
Prophecy Comes True.
His prophecy came true.
Saturday, while he was at work in
house at the lower dam, a heavy pis-
ton slipped from the blocks which sus-
tanned it and his head was crushed to
a pulp.
Mrs. Fitzgerald has had her share of
miSfortunes.
At the time of the accident she was
visiting her brother, William O'Brien,
near, Morris, MINI
The telephone bell rang and she an
swered the call, supposing 1t to be for
her brother She received the startling
news that her husband had been killed.
She tainted and later became hyS-
terical.
Her aged father, feeble minded and
mentally unbalanced. heard her means
{Y1rtI irn6 hn II ko1I
and he was transformed instantly from
man from whom reason had all but
fed, to a rational being. His family
was overjoyed over his recovery but
saddened by the death of Mr.. Fitz-
gerald.
But the troubles of Mrs. Fitzgerald
did not end. Sunday morning, in COM
pany with her brother, she started
from Morris to Minneapolis. They
were aboard the Great Northern train
which was wrecked near Dassel and
both were injured.
Mrs. Fitzgerald sustained a dislocat-
ed shoulder and other injuries. Her
brother was seriously hurt and now
lies in bed at the residence of another
brother.
Mrs. Fitzgerald attended her hus-
bands funeral but was unable to walk
and had to be assisted from her home
to the carriage and then to the train
which conveyed her husbands remains
to Saltwater for interment.
Mrs. Fitzgerald is positive that a
Nemesis is following the family.
My husband was a lucky man until
these twins came. I told him that twins
bring bad luck. We lost one of the
first pair. After the second pair INV
husband was hurt. Then came the
third pair and he was burned by the
gas explosion.
Il believe twins bring bad luck, any
way"
