We strolled along in the shopping district yesterday, and found the win dows most inviting, joined in the crowd of women eager to know what is to be the reigning fashion the pres ent season. .r..fe-H. 1 It is hard to say just what will be the particular feature, for time alone can settle that; but this much is easily told, the long coat suit will have its innings. So trim, so neat, so well dressed looked the dummy ladies in their wrinkleless cloth costumes and tip-tilted largish hats, one vowed at once to go in and invest and try to look equally trim and neat and well dressed. There was a beautiful gown of plum broadeleth and hat to match; there was a Parsifal blue cloth, tais too frail and fair for daily needs, but very lovely in it's first bloom; then there was novel appearing suit of all black-it is long, long since the all- black has appeared among tailor gowns
 Black promises to be worn after all for the street, although we thought differently a month or so ago. Some Of the best houses are displaying ex- oellent gowns unrelieved by touch of color, and the change from the gay hues that have dominated so long will tend to make the somber welcome. Grays and a dull shade of brown bid fair to be in style, and though the smooth cloths are in favor shaggy ones are pushing forward; a black shaggy goods is in evidence, but not so elegant as broadcloth.
 Coats are made to outline the figure clearly, and those with long skirts are preferred. They vary. but are fully three-quarters long. In Vienna, which city is considered the center of fashion, they are exaggerated quite to the dress's hem; but these we consider too heavy and burdensome for aught but carriage wear or evening wrap. The three-quarter length does well for either walking costume or afternoon dress.
 A circular wrap Is trying to make q show. and maybe will be the choice for evening; and the Empire style appears in all sorts of wraps Three-piece suits will continue to be very much the thing, the waist of a lighter material than the rest of the costume but matching in color.
 There will be an effort to introduce capes this year. but these garments are not warm enough for winter. Pari- sians have been wearing them some time. and it is to be hoped we will

RUssIA's REFoRMER.

Peace on any terms would have been displeasing to the military party in St Petersburg. Discredited as they are by the disasters of the war, they in- sisted that 1t must be fought ''to the bitter end" But peace on Mir Witttes terms they especially resent. They had counted on his falling at Ports mouth. What they had hoped for was that he would "break his neck' by re- turning from his peace mission empty handed and in dlsrepute. Then they would be rid of him.
 But by a sudden turn in the negotia- tions NJ. Witte wins-wins even over the czar, whom the military party had persuaded to declare that he would pay no indemnity and cede no terri tory, However unreconciled a certain circle in St Petersburg may be to his success. the world acclalms NJ. Witte as Russia's foremost statesman and sees in his justly earned prestige hope for Russia's progress toward freedom.
 NJ. Witte is a believer in the auto rcacy, but he is a conservative reform CT. He holds that the internal develop ment of Russia is more important than her relentless expansion in Asia. He would cement the empire by education, industry and commerce, not by violent suppression. Only a few months ago he submitted to the czar memorial urging that the Orthodox church should no longer be kept part of the govern ment machine. but converted into a true religious institution. His scheme of agrarian reform by which the peas ants were to be enabled to purchase more land had been carefully framed when hostile influences secured the dissolution of the commission Of which he was the head the very night before tts report was to be completed.
 Now that the czar has pledged him self to better the internal situation of Russia he needs such an adviser as NJ. wftte. The people know him as their friend and the czar has had fresh proof of his ioyalty and force. The grant of a restricted form of c national assem- bly is not so frank a concession as it should he. It carries with it the threat that the czsr may undo his own for ward policy. Governor General Ire poff yesterday said that freedom of dlscussion would soon be restored and even the zemstvnists permitted 10 hold meetings.

not belatedly step into line: what ia suitable for summer or autumn in Paris, is not exactly suited to mid- winter in "the States" The Empire coat, which at last is proving far vorlte here, is at it's best when the waist line comes just little below the bust. The dealers are slowly coming round to the idea that 1t Is well to offer the three-piece suit in their ready-made garments, and quite few good waists may be had in color; most of these. we are told, are in silk, chif- ion cloth and chiffon.

They, Alexander and Tarbell, conf
IDENTIFY counted upon Hyde's giving in.
In fact, Tarbel1 believed he would "lay
down without a struggle" But they
counted without their host. Hyde
might have given in, but there was an
other person to be considered, and that
person was Hyde's mother, the widow
of the founder. When she was told of
the scheme she explained it's bearings
to her son and put such a fighting
spirit into MIN that he has been going
ever since.
The battle put up by Hyde has
caused the whole house of cards to
fall. Alexander, Hyde, Tarbell, McIn-
tyre and Wilson are all out of the
Equitable, and have sacrificed $345,00O
of income among them. 1t mas been a
remarkable case of killing the goose. If
Alexander had it to do again he would
talk it over with Mrs. Hyde first.

AN INSTANCE AND IT'S SEQUEL.

Captain F. Norton Goddard, the man
who enforced the intipolicy law in New
York and sent the notorious Al Ad-
ans to Sing Sing, is dead, and in 16
days after his demise, it is reported,
policy is flourishing again.
We sometimes become very tired of
crusaders, of committees and of indi-
viduals who make it their especial bus
mess to enforce this or that law, but
an illustration of this kind tends to
reconcile us to their activity. Policy is
probably the meanest kind of gambling
extant. In cities policy tickets are
peddled to the offices, in restaurants
and barber shops. They are carried
about by agents who get percentage
on their sales( and the business is as
Systematically worked as the soliciting
of trade in any line you might name.
In this way the Internal temptation is
kept constantly before clerks, both men
and women, boys and girls. The in
vestment is not large, it appeals to the
gambling instinct, and the almost GER
tain loss of the principal is not a de-
terment.
Mr.. Goddard took up the cudgels
against this form of gambling, and in
five years of hard, unthanked and I'M
popular work, cleaned it out of the
city of New York.
In the course of his prosecutions the
whole plan and scope of policy" was
laid bare to the police. The informa-
tion was put within their reach
whereby they might forever bar the
business from New York city. But
they have not done it. The policy
sharps and their miserable agents
swooped down like harpies again, the
minute he was gone. Why did not the
police of New York keep up the cam
paign against policy? Why?

SAYS HE is BETROTHED.
John w. Hutchinson, Threatened With
Suit as Tickle, Will Wed Soon

LYNN, Mass, June 26.-John W.
Hutchinson, of Lynn, the famous sin
ger of abolitionist days and now COM
monty known as the bard of High
Rock, against whom papers have been
made out, but not yet served, in
breach of promise suit brought by Miss
Ellen F. Wetherell of Lynn, sprung
surprise on all interested in the case
when he announced that he is engag-
ed to be married to another woman.
The name of the woman whom he had
selected for his wife, Mr.. Hutchinson
would not diclose. He would not dis
cuss the matter further than to say
that he hoped soon to lead her to the
altar.
Service of the papers has been de-
layed through negotiations which are
in progress for the settlement of the
case outside the courts, and counsel
representing both parties are now try
ing to adjust matters.
Mr. Hutchinson, who is IS years of
age, looks with equanimity On Miss
Weatherelrs reported Intentions. He
says:
Il don't remember ever having made
ner a proposal of marriage, and do
not think l ever kissed her, as 1 un-
derstand she also claims. We have
been together on many occasions and
have always admired and loved her as
1 love all mankind, but never thought
of her as a possible wife,"
This is the second breach of prom
Use case that Mr.. Hutchinson has fig
ured in, his first coming eleven years
ago, when a widow named Mcdonald,
who had been one of mis- tenants, sued
for 100000 He settled her claim for
$4,000.
Subsequently, mis- relatives attempt
ed to have a conservator appointed to
take care of his property, but the
court refused the petition.
Leading Woman Suffragst
Miss Weatherell is one of the fore
most workers in the ranks OF the
woman suffrage movement in the state
She also is a radical socialist. Her
ideas have been along the same lines
which Mr. Hutchinson expounds, ana
it was through the harmonizat1on OF
these ideas that they came to be close,
intimate friends.
Miss Weatherell is over so years OLD
and was born in Lynn and always Nv
ed there. Being deprived of the COM
plete use of her limbs through acct
dent, she has ben unable to engage
in any active labor, and has devoted
most of her time to the study of So
cial problems and the cultivation OF
the sciences.
Mr. Hutchinson knew her from
childhood. AS she grew to woman
hood and became a disciple of ad-
vanced political thought he was at
tracted to her, and spent more or less
time in her company exchanging
views, and frequently appeared In
public while he sang and she talked.

UNCLE SAM MUST LOOSEN UP.

One of those financial experts, VINO
may always be found figuring out
something in finance in reference to
something else, has gone into detail
into the matter of the value of brains
as estimated by the government, and
by tine rules of commerce and finance.
He finds number of glazing incon-
sistencies, perhaps the most striking
of which is that of the financial re-
turn to the men who stand at the head
of the government and men at the head
of one of the larger institutions of New
York city. The president and nine
members of his cabinet drtw $4,000
a year in salaries. The president and
nine principal officers of the financial
institutions, an insurance company.
draw $323,0OO. In the light of
responsibility there is no pos
sible comparison between the
duties of the men who have only
to concern themselves with the affairs
of a private business, and the respon-
sibilities resting upon men who handle
governmental affairs. On the basis Of
money responsibility, or at least of
salary, relative to money Importance,
the comparison is even more glaringiy
unfair, for the corporation named has
an average income of $96,000,00O an
nually, while the government had an
income last year of $64S,000,0OO. The
president gets compensation that does
not look so bad, although the head of
the insurance company, with 100000
a year, receives just twice as much,
but between the cabinet officers, with
$4,000, and the nine officers of the in
surance company, with salaries rang
ing from $4,000 down to $4,000 the
discrepancy is very marked
1t has long been the rule that any
man of brains can do better if he sells
the product of his brain, or give it's
work to private affairs than by
working for the government.
Thomas B. Reed left public life a poor
man, devoted a few years of the same
ability and energy that he had given
to public service, to his private affairs,
and died leaving a considerable for
tune. Instances of men leaving the
cabinet to take positions in private
corporation service at salaries three to
six times that formerly received are
common, the latest being that of Paul
Morton, who receives $4,000 as mead
of the navy department, but will no
doubt get an enormous increase as the
head of the Ryan interests in New
York.
OF course, no comparison is a fair
one that does not axe into account the
honor accruing to a man who has held
high governmental position, and this
is the reward that many men prefer
to money compensation, but the con-
ditions in our country are changing so
rapidly, that it is becoming more diff
fcult every day for a man of ordinary
means to accept a call to public Office
and live in style BETTING his station.
With this there are the big corpora
tions paying higher salaries from year
to year, and the number of positions
calling for men of first class ability is
increasing.
1t looks as if the time is near when
Uncle Sam will have to loosen up mis-
purse strings little if he wants the
best men.
