Count the Criminals.

CouNN Ine OTltUlUalas
Editor The Evening Journal.
In my opinion there would be less crime
among the coiored people II it were not
for the foolish notion that seems TO be
instructive with the race to endeavor to
shield the offenders against law and or
der. The police find themselves constantly
hampered by the deliberate concealmont
OF the criminal by colored men. who i'm
bibe the idea that the white man has
come 20 persecute the negro race. It is
true that the more intelligent men Of the
coiored community are seeking to educate
their people out of this inbred conception
OF the duties Of the citizen, but the pro-
pansity 10 aid the offender TO escape seems
TO be deep rooted. II was this element in
the race that led 10 the discharge Of the
colored soldiers In the Brownsville affair.
But the men and women who furnish
the defendants in the criminal courts are
the crap shooters the idlers, the policy
players, the habitues of the gambling
rooms and the patrons Of the saloons
These and the causes Of idleness are TO
be dealt with If there IS to be a reduction
IN the court list.
But while we are suffering from the
presence Of the criminal refugees from
other sections, there should be some
method Of keeping surveillance over these
newcomers. II has been suggested by some
that a canvass be made by the police at
least once a year and a roster be kept for
police uses alone and in that way II will
be possible TO make life very uncomfort-
able for the man or woman who finds a
harbor here without being able TO give
q good and sufficient reason for being Ia

There is the woman who rates her
husbands talk as SO much superficial
ity. He perhaps has warned her that
her friendship with a rather gay neigh
Dor Is injudicious.
She turns up her nose at this bit Of
information, but after while he sees
that she is not associating as much as
formerly with the aforesaid gay neigh
Dor. The truth Of the matter is that
some time previously this same wife
of his might have been seen furtively
mounting stoop in a certain part Of
the city and there ringing doorbell,
meanwhile glancing up and down the
street like hunted hare; going in.
she paid out good dollar and received
much gabbled advice from a woman
with blinking eyes, amongst the rest a
warning to avoid light woman who
lives not far from her. For what is Q
mere husbands advice compared to
that of a fortune teller's?

SLEEVES TO BE SMALLER.
Cold Weather Wraps Will Neeessitate
the Change.

The jumper in its latest form il
somewhat on surpliced lines and is
frequently provided with one length
or another of those mandarin sleeves
which 1t helped to introduce. But there
Is no gainsaying that the mandarin
sleeve is certainly to be curtailed with
the advance of colder weather, for the
winter wrap has necessarily less
roomy sleeves than that of summer.
That sleeves are shrinking Is shown
In those used with the new draped
bodices. which cling more closely to
the figure than did the ordinary
jumper waist These draped bodices
follow surplice lines front and back,
but blouse slightly over the girdle in
front, unless the figure be rather
plump, when no extra fulness is per-
mitted.

STYLES FOR THE CHILDREN.


Dear little suit coats Of the semi
fitting type are Of various lengths.
They are shown In both double and
single breasted models and are ex-
ceedingly smart for the miss of IA
years. A handsome one is made OF
cream-colored pongee piped with light
green and trimmed with big green
crystal buttons. Another style. having
kimono sleeves, Is finished with red
velvet collar and buttons.
With plain materials a great deal OF
braiding is used. Plaid or mixed me-
terials do not require much trim
ming to make them modish. Jackets
accompanying killed skirts are smart
est when plainly tailored, with, per-
haps, collars and cuffs Of contrasting
material.
The most recent finish being given
to killed skirts made of ali washable
materials or Of lightweight fiannels is
to turn the hem on the right side and
finish 1t with several rows of stitch
ing.

of course, tries to keep stock as low
rs possible. Everything must be kept
moving. Under the old system a store
would buy whole years supply of
staples and a seasons supply of other
goods. But it is not so now and the
modern method throws upon the
shoulders of manufacturer and whole
saler the risks that formerly were as
sumed by the retail store, to the grave
disorganization of the business of
those who supply the big stores Most
women know that as a rule the things
offered in bargain sales are sold below
the actual cost of manufacture. says
Harley Davis in Everybody's. Now
the bargain sale is popularity supposed
to serve a double purpose-to attract
people to the store and to get rid Of
old goods. The first proposition is
always true, while the latter applies
10 only about one-tenth OF the bargain
sales. The manufacturer stands the
loss, for there is a very considerable
loss, of the other nine-tenths. 1t IL
automatic among the department store
owners that there is always a manu-
facturer who is willing to sell some of
his output at great sacrifice. It may
be because he finds himself stocked
with goods for which there is no de-
mand at the prices for which they
were made to sell; oftener, he is hard
pressed for ready money. But what
ever the cause, the result is a bar
gain sale in a department store. And
In all cases. except the one bargain
sale in ten, by which the store is get
ting rid Of its own goods that haven't
been sold, the establishment makes
its regular standard profit.

Lille tossed away the cigar with

she said, while her eyes sparkled with

glowed in her cheeks, during these

A Woman without Home putIes.


A woman who has no home duties
or who does not attend to such duties.
is q pest to her acquaintances. 1t may
take her a long time to make her
breakfast toilet, but her outside gar.
ments go on like magic when she has
once decided to make morning or
afternoon call. She will not work, and
she will not let her neighbors work.
Her acquaintances are kept in state
of chronic discomfort in the expecta-
ton of q visit, and q door-bell in her
vicinity cannot ring without striking
terror to the heart of the lady OF the
house. A call from this idle person
means simply loss of time without the
slightest compensation. The work In
the kitchen or the nursery must be
abandoned, and this means, with prac-
teal, conscientious housekeepers, not
only q giving up of the work for the
time, but for q considerable time. The
work planned for that day, and omit
ted for that day, means overwork at
another time, confusion and anxiety.
What can be more exasperating than
to be compelled to entertain an idle
person to the neglect of necessary
duties? It occasionally arouses all
the antagonism and latent ugliness in
ones nature. Hands and brain are all
ready for the work which has been de-
ferred for this time When will she
go?" the spirit keeps asking. IF she
will only go now / can rush through
with the work, and the morning will
not be a lost one" But the visitor
does not go. In fact, 1t is a rare thing
for this particular kind of caller to
take her leave until the utmost limit
of time is reached. as we'll as the ut
most limit Of her hostess patience.
SO, declares the New York Weekly,
sensible ladies' protect themselves by
feeling at liberty to report that they
are engaged when the idle woman
thrusts her company upon people who
do not admire her or !, her converse
ton.
