Attacks the openwork Stocking.

Attacks the Openwork Stocking
"The opeuwork stocking is full OF
danger to the purity of the youth OF our
land" declared Mrs. Katharine Stew
enson, State president of the Massacha''
etts Woman's Christian Temperance
Union. at the thirty.second annual con-
vention which opened in Cambridge,
Massachusetts,, yesterday afternoon.
Mrs. Stevenson was making the annual
address when she attacked openwork
stockings, decolleite dressing and their
dire consequences. "Our purity crns-
ade," she said, "wOuld be directed
against the dangers of immodest dressing.
Openwork has its place, but that place
is not in public, and it is seen alto
gether too frequently out of place
"When we remember who sets the
fashions to the world, we may well
question if an insidious purpose, deadly
to the highest womanhOod, may mol run
through the steadily growing tendency
to immodest unnecessary display OF a
woman's person."

Locality of Retrocession.

In reference TO the status Of AL KAN
dria county which has been raised oy
the counsel of several men recently ar
re,ted for gambling, and which is now
before the y. S. District Court in Rich
mond. the. Washington correspondent
of the Richmond Times-Dispatch writes !;
In the habeas corpus proceedings
Nelson and La Fontaine raise the ques-
ton of the legality of the retrocesslon oy
Congress to Virginia of that portion OF
the District of Columbia originally ceded
for the capital. This now constitutes
Alexandria county, aud the poolroom
men say they were in the District OF
Columbia and that their arrest was
without legal authority. In conun,
ming the case Judge Waddlll held
the defendants in 81, 900 each. The
sentence imposed by the Virginia
courts was six months in Jail aud 81, 900
FIVE. This makes the amount OF pail
fixed for each defendant at 80, 800. BAL
has been furnished in each OF the
two cases against the men which grew
out of their arrest twice on similar charg-
es. 1t is evident that Nelson and La
Fontaine are determined to make hard
fight to escape the sentence imposed oy
the Virginia courts, and, incidentally, TO
carry on the business of operating pool
room. 1t is possible that the proceed
ipgs brought by them may develop into
one of the most interesting questions OF
constitutional law ever brought in the
United States. The question OF the
validity of the retrocession by Congress
was brought outin the case of Phillips vs..
Payne. which was before the United
States Supreme Court in 1876. The
same contention was m ade them, but the
unanimous opinion of the court delivered
by Justice Swsyne, set forth that while
the act of Congress was in violation OF
the Constitution, the law of presumption
applied to nations, as well individuals.
Seven years ago the United States SUI
preme Court had occasion to FIX the
boundary of the District OF Colum ola at
