A Crusade for Dame Fashion.

The National Dressmakers' Conven.
ton, lately held in Chicago, has de-
clared open warfare against Paris con-
troll OF the styles Of dress to be worn by
American women. Nine. Baker, Pres
ident OF the convention, aud present
autocrat of style and quality of dra-
peries, has issued an edict, which will
doubtless be obeyed by the world of
fashion this side the big waters. Paris
says the shortwaisted gown shall pre-.
vail; Madam Dictum here, says it
shall not. Paris say. the skirts shall
be long our arbiters say they shall be
short. And right here we pause for
words OF commentator. The short
waist spoils the human figure divine,
Natures handiwork, and the fashion
leaders have sense enough to know it;
the long skirt gathers up dirt and mi.
crobes, and is ungraceful in its pom
derous swish swash; the short skirt is
trim, neat, artistic, doubtless comfort
able to its wearers, and certainly clean
and healthful.
Eibow-s sleeves will be worn, the low
er arm protected by cuffs or long
gloves, when needed. "The new coats
will have straight. stand-up collars,
short shoulder effects and high cir.
dies says the dictator, and call
dresses will fit tight at the hips and
full at the feet, and the short Empire
coat will be fad OF the season." (The
last sentence is placed as quotation
with the understanding that the ladies
shall supply the brains to understand
tive don't).
Nine. Baker has entered upon a
fashion crusade, giving three lectures
a day, and at night projecting stereop-
tic views of the new styles. In Chi
cage this week, next week the officials
and property OF the convention will
move on to St. Louis, and thence to
other centers of fashion.

AMATEUR GAMES AND THE
PEOPLE.

The pursuit of amateur games runs
in waves IN America, and these WAGES
leave behind them tremendous
troughs of neglect. Baseball, tennis,
golf, nave all had their career of
popular applause and have each set
tied down to a status of comparative
non-use, while the country rushed
after some new fad. Baseball has
become almost entirely a profession
al game and football is in danger of
going the same road.
With tennis and golf it is different
OF the two golf appears to be the
better game for the public, since it
is gentler and better adapted to all
ages. Tennis is a violent exercise
demanding skill and activity. Never
tneless it is a splendid game, which
may be played by all ages and both
sexes. 1t has the advantage over
golf that it does not require such
elaborate preparation. one can play
tennis in a mild way in the ordinary
back yard. While he may not get a
reputation of a crack player out of
it, he will get all the essentials of
healtnful and invigorating exercise,
appetite and relief from mental cares,
while the game is in progress. Golf
has the disadvantage of demanding
extended grounds. To play golf one
must belong to a club, pay greater
or smaller dues, and most regretta-
BILE of all, waste a lot of time in get
ting to and from the grounds. Yet
both games are deserving of ardent
support from all classes. Our Amer
lean life is too much taken up with
eating, working and worrying. We
need recreation, and when there is
opportunity to get it, it ought not to
be neglected, because one cannot get
it in some grand way as member
of a remarkably select club.

IN A ROMANCE.
EIoping Couple and Brides Angry
Parents ReconciIed.

CROOKSTON, Mimi, Sept. 4.-As
sequel to a happy romance in which
Miss Kitty Torkelson, of Neilsville, a
niece of Congressman STEVENSON of
this city, and George Anderson a
highly respected young man of the
same place, were principals last win
ter, they yesterday returned to the
young woman's parental home to re-
ceive the forgiveness of parents and
be welcomed back into the family
field.
Congressman Steenerson, while at
Seattle on his way to the Portland
fair, accidentally encountered the
young people, who eloped from their
homes last December and were mar
ried in Seattle, and through his eff
forts a reconciliation was effected.
Miss Torkelson, before her marriage,
lived on the big farm with her parents,
being an only child, and until the ar
rival of handsome George Anderson,
she was all obedience to ner father
and mother. George came to work
on the big farm and the result was a
short but ardent courtship, despite
the disapproval of Kitty's parents.
George was forbidden the privilege of
even seeing his sweetheart, and in de-
spair the young folks planned their
elopement.
When Kitty's parents awoke on the
morning of Dec. 10, they found their
daughter had gone with her sweet
heart, and naught but letter to ex-
plain. Search was instituted, but for
months nothing was heard of the
couple. Finally, through the post
master at Seattle, "Mr. and Mrs. Geo.
Anderson" were located and quite by
accident Congressman Steenerstn
on his trip west found them.

steamer Valencia of the Pacific

general freight for San Francisco.
Since her former visit to this city
the Valencia has made several trips

she carried a woman passenger who
was supposed to be a man. The facts
of the case were not known until the
vessel was one day out from Seat

The steamship was carrying $50
men to work on the railroad at Sc

signed to go, and she opposed the
idea of staying in the states alone.
She applied at the company's Of
