SKIRTS LIKE BALLOONS.

From the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
Chicago, Sept. 12.-Husbands and
fathers who survived coal bills and
hoped to worry through the present
meat prices surrendered and rushed
toward the bankruptcy court to-day
when they saw the advance notices of
the International Dressmakers' Asso-
citation which opened it's convention in
the Fine Arts building. Dressmakers
rushed into Chicago from everywhere
TO hear the DEGREES of fashion at the
fall convention. Here are some of the
edicts:
The habit back must go.
Thirty yards are to be required for
a dress, where last year twelve was
enough, with a yard or so to spare
for the baby's cape. Thirty feet in cir
conference is to be the measurement
of the base of the skirt for the coming
winter.
Leg O. mutton sleeves have been
dragged back into style and the puff
transferred from the wrist to the
shoulder.
The shoulders are to be widen
ed and the waist made more slender
''Dressmaking is the architecture of
the human figure" the international
dressmakers have announced. They
have made a change from the Queen
Anne cottage effect to the old colonial
The results will be felt by every wonl-
an in the country.
The mere thought of forcing a dress
with a thirty foot bottom hem on the
women of the country is enough to
daunt the hardest dressmaker, but it
must be done. AS the wearer of the
new gown stands in the middle of the
room the bottom of her skirt must be
capable of being extended over an
area with a circumference of thirty
feet. The whole dress will require thir-
ty yards of material Ar

From the London Express.

from the LONDON Express.
Paris. Sept. 2.-Great preparations
are being made in the northern dis
tricts of France for a cock-crowing
competition. which is to take place in
Paris next month.
The French Bantam Club have made
the discovery that the best growing
cocks are those whose hens are the
best layers, and for the time being
cock-crowing seems likely to Gust
cock-fighting as popular pastime.
Owners take immense pains to make
their cocks crow we'll One gentleman,
who is hoping to take a prize at the
competition, showed me two very fine
birds, which he keeps in cages in his
stable. The cages are so covered over
that, though there is plenty of air, no
light can penetrate.
Every day the cages are taken out
into the open air, and the covering
suddenly removed, when the cocks i'm
mediately begin to crow loudly under
the evident impression that they have
OVERSIGHT themselves, and that the
dawn is far advanced.
After a quarter of an hour of this ex-
ercise the birds, who must consider the
days extremely short and the nights
extremely long, are taken back to the
stable and covered over again. This
goes on for several weeks before the
competition, and increases the bird S
desire to crow long and loudly every
time it sees the light.
The birds are fed in a special man
mel. peculiar to each owner, the secret
of which is jealousy guarded. For the
three weeks prior to the competition
the food is carefully dosed, and made
as stimulating and exciting as posi-
bic. The bird is then sent to the show.
During the Growing contest a time
keeper with a chrononleter stands in
front of each bird, and marks the
number of crows and the variation
of notes in given time, generally
fifteen minutes.

FOREIGNERS IN oUR MILLS.

Does the employment Of forty or fif-
ty Portuguese operatives in the At
lantic and Gulf Mills at Quitman, Ga,
mean that foreigners are to take the
place of native labor. to a large ex-
tent, here in the South?
There is no doubt that the building
of cotton mills in the South is going
to continue. It has been demonstrated
that cotton mills can be operated more
cheaply in the South than in the North.
Therefore it is reasonable to assume
that the building of mills in the South
will be continued.
But there is a dearth of mill opera
tives in the South. Where is the neces-
sary labor to be obtained? The North
doesn't seem to have any more than it
wants and the negro here in the
South doesn't seem to be fitted for mill
work. He has been given a fair trial
and has proven to be failure.
If these Portuguese operatives that
are coming direct from their native
country to the Quitman mills should
give satisfaction, wouldn't other Por-
tuguese likely find employment in other
mills in the South? 1t is reasonable
to suppose they would. The forty or
fifty Portuguese operatives that are
going to Quitman may be the van
guard of a great army of Portuguese
workers that will spread all over the
South and in all fields of labor. They
may be such excellent work
ers, that they will, in a
measure, supplant the negro. 1t be-
hooves the negro to be up and doing
therefore because he may be in dam
ger of losing his inh

Last year a vigorous campaign
against the oyster was waged in Paris.
The bivalve was charged with all sorts
of crimes and misdemeanors, including
the killing of people by secretly con-
veying into their systems typhoid and
other fearful germs. On account of
the agitation the sale OF oysters in the
French capital fell off greatly. Now
comes a French chemist of the name of
Girard who declares that the charges
against the oyster were baseless. and
that the prejudice against II was fool
ish. Prof. Girard asserts that oysters
are good and wholesome food, that
they do not transmit disease germs.

be eaten, at all seasons Of the year.

And so a race issue has broken out
in Africa! Negroes are complaining
that they are not accorded their
rights, in the Negroes own native coun-
try. The complaint, it seems, is made
by American negroes in Pretoria, and
has been addressed to the United
States government. These transplant
ed American negroes have doubtless
heard of President Roosevelt's great
solicitude for their race and therefore
believe him capable of giving them
what they desire, even in a foreign
country. Should the matter be sifted
to the bottom it would probably be
found that it is privileges, and not
rights, that the petitioners are after.
That is the way it usually turns out
in this country. Meanwhile the Brit
ishers in South Africa-and Britishers
pride themselves on holding even
handed justice-are under accusation
of discriminating against a race on ac-
count of its color.

NO SYMPATHY WITH THE MOB
SPIRIT

1t is evident that the authorities and
the thinking people of the Southern
| states are rapidly coming to the con-
clusion that it is about time to deal
with the mob spirit with strong hand
That this is true is shown by the ac-
ton of the grand jury att Huntsville
Ala, on Wednesday, by the sending
of troops to Camilla, in this state, on
Wednesday to protect a negro prisoner
by the action of some of the churches
at Statesboro in telling those of their
members who participated in the re-
cent lynching near that place that they
must either confess and promise to
have nothing to do with lynchings in
future or resign their membership and
by other signs indicating a growing
sentiment against mob law.
At. Huntsville there seems to be a
determination to bring to justice those
who were recently concerned in the
lynching near that place. Ten indict-
ments have been found. and the Gov
ernor of the state is determined that
the prosecution of the offenders shall
be vigorous. If a few lynchers were
made 10 suffer the penalty Of their
crimes there would be no more lynch
ings. AS a rule, those who lead a.
lynching mob are not the influential
men of the community. Now that
those who make public sentiment are
beginning to take a firm stand against
mob law it will not be a difficult
matter to bring to Justice those who
compose the mobs that defy the law.
We venture to say that If the men
indicted at Huntsville are punished
there will be no more lynching soon
in Alabama Let it be understood
that the law will be enforced against
lynchers and there will be no more
lynchings.
The mob spirit fiourishes because the
members Of the mobs feel safe from
punishment. Make it plain that thew
are not safe and there will be no
further effort to interfere with the
courts in the performance of their
duties.
What will be done at Statesboro in
respect to the recent lynching there Is
of course matter for speculation.
In view, however, of the fact that
churches there have taken such a de-
cided stand against the Iynchers il
wouldn't be surprising If action should
be taken by the Statesboro grand jury
similar to that taken by the Hunts
vile grand jury. There is no doubt
that the sentiment in favor of putting
an end to lynchings is steadily be-
coming stronger.

Prohibition received something of a
black eve in the recent election in
Maine. In one county a preacher had
been elected sheriff and had set about
to enforcing the prohibitory law with
vigor. He was candidate for re-
election on his record. He was buried
under an avalanche of votes. In an
other county the sheriff had construed
the prohibitory law broadly and il was
not exceptionally difficult for thirsty
person to get bottle of beer anywhere
in his county. He also was a candi-
date for reelection on his record. The
Prohibtionists made a hard fight on
him, but when the votes were counted
this sheriff had the handsomest ma
1ority he had ever received. Which
would seem to indicate that at least in
some parts of Maine they like to keen
the Prohibition law on the books for
its ornamental effects.
