coileoe Girls Athletics.

President Eliot of Harvard does not
believe that women can indulge much
in. athletics without injuring them
selves, and condemns boating. putting
the shot and such violent forms of eX-
crtion for women.
Women will never compete with
mems colleges in athletics he said
recently. Il see absolutely no possi-
5llity of that ever taking place. The
women do not seek competition, and it
would be of no benefit to them. Wom-
ec were not originally intended for
such violent exercise as man. and
sclne of the things that they go into
must strain them. For women to put
the shot is preposterous.
There may be women living who
arc made in such a strange and un-
natural way that 1T is not injuriouc for
them to put the shot, but for the ma
Jority of women it would be enough to
l.urt them for life. Boating also is
had for women. Womens colleges do
not have crews to any great extent,
but the women who do go into it will
not last long in their athletic life.
INomen's athletics are good thing in
moderation. but for them to try to do
all that their brothers do is a mistake.
They will only hurt themselves in the
attempt"

Care of the Feet.

A warm bath with handful of sea
salt in it is about as restful as a nap.
Paddle in it until it cools, dry with a
rough towel. put on fresh stockings
have change of shoes. If one could
take the time in the middle of the day
10 change the stockings for d fresh
pair we would not hear So much about
Geld feet or rheumatism. 1t is said
that the nervousness is kept out Of the
Celestial Empire by the use OF soft
soled shoes. The hard soles worn by
the Anglo-Saxon race are the cause,
in a measure OF the extreme nervous
temperament. Aside from the daily
bath the feet should have their own
particular bath at least three times
week. Her fresh complexion and
sparkling eyes, one woman declares,
arc due in 6 great measure to her very
carefully kept feet.-Pittsburg Dis

Feminine Footwear.

Daintiness and grace are the fea:

maid and matron will wear on "occa-

teas and receptions the high-heeled;
very high indeed. shoes seem to bs
the thing that shoe makers beguile
their fair customers into wearing. For
the mcst part these are strapped and
many of them have huge rosettes Of
fluffy maline or fiat ones of panne vel:
vet just at the tip of the arching in
step. Then, too, stiff, quaint rosettes
of satin sometimes are perched where
the shoe is tied
Slipper and shoe this year match
the gown in tone, and the hose is also
always cf the same hue. In the foot
gear little choice is permitted the
fair one. for the shoe may be of kid,
silk or satin. one being as fashionable
as the other. These may be plain or
studded with pearls, jet or steel, ac-
cording to fancy. A great favorite with
the young woman of today. is the
strapped shoe, many wearing those
strapped from the instep away down
to the edge of the toe.
The footwear provided for the wee
ones by fond mammas is just as
dainty as those made fer the older
people. Great care for an artistic
finish is given to babies shoes. White
buckskin shoes are especially fashion
able for the little tots who do not
know the meaning Of the word. For

BRAVE FIGHT FOR LIBERTY.
Russian Counts Vain Efforts to Es.

Russian Counts Vain Efforts to Es.
cape Secret Police.
The career Of the Russian Count
Nicholas Sevin, who was arrested at
Hamburg few days ago on the in.
formation OF the Russian secret police,
reads like a page Of fiction. Several
times previously the count, by most
reckless courage, had escaped from
his prison exile in Siberia, where he
had been sent for committing forgery.
and each time he was recaptured and
extradited from the country where he
was found. His last flight. which has
just ended in his arrest at Hamburg,
has given the Russian police ten
years trouble. The count got away
from Siberia in 1898, and succeeded in
reaching the United States. For five
years he lived undiscovered in Chi
cago, earning his living at various
times as waiter. billiard-marker. cab
man and tram conductor. In 1888 he
volunteered for the war. ard fought
with great distinction with the Amer
ican troops against Spain. Afterwards
he went to Spain as the representa-
tive of an American export house. The
Russian secret police were meanwhile
making an incessant search and re-
Gently they located him in Spain.
When the count discovered that his
ideatit: was known he boarded a
steamer ut Lisbon, bound for Ham
burg. Detectives booked passages by
the same vessel, and on arrival at
Hamburg persuaded the German ALL
thorities to seize the count. He will
be taken back to Siberia after the
extradition formalities. The count.
who is Al years of age, is the husband
OF the French Countess Lantrec de
Toulouse.

Oyerwork and Worry.

To eat grape a minute for an hour

aace three or four times day, eating
very little else meantime but dry
bread, may seem a monotonous way CT
spending the time. This treatment
works wonders for thin, nervous anae'

out of order from worrying or over
work. 1t is no mere quack prescrip.

TO MEET in LOUIS,
Selection for the Meeting Place Of
the Democratic Convention.
COMMITTEE SPRINGS SURPRISE,
It Was Generally Conceded That
Chicago Would Be Chosen, But
ST. Louis Won the Victory.

Washington, Special--The Demo
cratic national committee furnished a
surprise, selecting st. Louis as the
place for the national convention OF
1904 The date fixed for the conven-
ton was Wednesday, July 6, at II
o'clock. Previous to the meeting OF
the committee is seemed foregone
conclusion that Chicago would be the
selected place of meeting, but politl-
cal extingencies entered into Inc sit
uation and majority Of the commit
tee voted for st. Louis. For some
hours previous to the meeting there
was talk in the corridors and among
Democratic leaders that the conyen'
ton in Chicago might be subject to
the influence of strong movement
and a strong newspaper influence IN
favor of some particular candidate.
Mr.Knapp, Of the ST.. Louis Republic,
hinted at this in a speech by saying
that the convention, If held at st.
Louis, would be welcomed by an abb
solutely fair press.
The committee meeting caused COLI
siderable discussion Of politics ana
the claims of various candidates were
advocated by their partisians, but
nothing favoring any candidate ap-
peared in the committee proceedings.
William ]. Bryan, when the commit
tee had concluded it's labors, appeared
but his visit was without any appar.
ent political significance. He did not
come to the hotel until after the COM
mittee hal about concluded its busl'
ness. He was warmly greeted by the
members of the committee and inVlt-
ed a number of times by members TO
cal On them at their hotels.
The committee was called to order
by Chairman James K. Jones, of Ark
ansas, promptly at 12 o'clock. AS the
members took their seats they faced
a raised platform hack Of which was
an elaborate festoon Of flags, sulroun'
ding a large portrait of Andrew Jack,
son.
The sessions were executive. Rolla
Wells presented the claims of St
Louis. A written proposal was offered
to the committee with a guarantee OF
$4,000 and the use CT the Coliseum
a fire-proof building with seating
capacityy Of 10000. The Business
Mems Leagle guaranteed hotel ac'
comodations
There were two rolls to select the
city. On the first st. Louis received
20 votes, Chicago 20 and New York
6. On the second ballot st. Louis re.
ceived 23 and Chicago q. The date
was fixed as July 9Th, on motion OF
Col. j. M. Guffey, of Pittsburg.
