wOMANs LABOR CASE APPEALED.
Amy Further Letters should Go 10 william
Schuyler jackson.

Attorney General Mayer has appealed the
case Of the people against David l.. Will
iams from the recent decision Of the APP
pellate Division to the Court OF Appeals.
He Is anxious TO have the news known SO
that the philanthropic women who have
been sending him an endless chain Of lettersi
urging him to do his duty, shall desist. II
Is the case involving the law limiting the
hours OF working women and children and
prohibiting them from working in factories
after o'clock at night.
The Court of Special Sessions held that
the act was unconstitutional and the APP
pellate Division, by a vote of three TO two,
upheld the decision. Representatives of
numerous women's clubs, working girls
unions and settlements got the idea that
because Mr.. Mayer, by agreement, sub
mitted the case to the Appellate Division
on briefs only, he would refuse to carry the
case further. They entertained the idea
that his political defeat had made him sore
and that the case was lost in the Appellate
Division through his neglect to appear in
person to argue it. They got up the end
less chain and worked it on him and they
backed the letters up with personal visits
and telephone calls, until ne was halt driven
to distraction at the very time he was try
ing to clean house for his successor. Mr..
jackson of Buffalo.
The order In the case was served on Mr.
Mayer a day or two ago, and the case was
reached in regular routine yesterday.
Notices OF appeal were served on the other
side and accepted and the case will now be
left to Mr.. jackson. Mr.. Mayer finished up
his work in the New York Office yesterday
and went to Albany last night.
IL is understood that MIR. jackson has
been warned OF the avalanche OF letters
he is likely to receive unless he gives this
labor case his personal attention, and IL is
said that he desires that notice be given
that he will take the matter up at the ear
liest opportunity possible.
Il hope the good ladies who have this
matter 80 much at heart will kindly spare
Mr.. jackson as much as possible" said Mr..
Mayer last night, az he sighed and cleared
away the last Of his voluminous corre-
spondence on the subject.

WOMEN RIDING AsTRIDE.

The custom of fashionable women
riding horseback astride is so grow
ing in England that it can be pre-
dicted that it will be the rule instead
of the exception in very few years,
and that it will attract no more re-
mark than the custom of women bicy-
cling. The practice is already often
followed by society women in Rot
ten Row, the fashionable riding place
in Hyde Park, London.
Among the prominent women who
ride in this fashion are Viscountess
Castlereagh, the Duchess of West
minister and the young daughter of
the Duchess of Sutherland. Their
riding habits are so contrived as to
present the neatest appearance. Seen
from some points of view it can hardly
be realized that they are not using a
side saddle.
The chief opposition to the custom
comes from the teachers of horseman-
