NEW YORK, Oct. 27.-De-
partment stores in New York have
matrons. These women have SUI
ipervision over all the girls en-
lployed, In the matters of dress,
general appearance and conduct.
1t takes a pretty wise woman to
be a matron. To get along ami
cably with from 200 to 500 girls,
while forced to "read the riot act"
even to the most intelligent of
them occasionally, is a big task.
The matron must make the girls
do certain things, and she must
make them refrain from doing
iother things. Most of the things
the girls must not do are things
which the average shop girl
most naturally would do, and the
things which they must do are
things which present problems of
their own.
CAN'T CHEW GUM,
NOR ROUGE LIPS.
First of all, salesgirls must not
chew gum. Neither with the closed
or open-face movement is this
permitted. Signs are posted in
some stores. stating in polite Ian
guage that employees who find it
necessary to chew gum will kindly
seek employment elsewhere. This
rule is a great hardship to girls
who have gotten the habit. This
world does not seem the same,
with the jaws at rest except when
conversation is going on.
Also. girls are not permitted to
rouge their cheeks or lips, to put
that shoe backing stuff on the
eyebrows and eyewinkers, nor to
use powder so that 1t shows. To
lady with a complexion like the
top crust of chicken pie this is
indeed a bitter blow. 1t doesn' t
seem quite right. But, you see,
while some girls would sensibly
enhance their charms of feature
with cosmetics, others would, If
rules did not forbid, get them
selves up to look like a scene
painters nightmare, and that
would never do.
RATS AND PUFFS
ARE BARRED, TOO.
Rats and puffs must not be
worn in the hair. Can you im-
agine the woe of<the young per-
son whose entire thatch could be
done up in a knot the size of a
politicians conscience She is up
agin it, poor girl. A switch has
its uses, but you can't make a
front with nothing but a switch.
And then, again, bright color
and flashy jewelry are barred. Oh,
dear! What's the use of being
posted on the latest shades, OF
knowing all about hippomotamus
breath, and lizards eye, and els
Itern-water green, If you cant
show anybody? What's the good
of Jim giving you a lovely rhine
stone sunboist on your boithday,
If you can't hand none of them
other skoits a flash?
THEY'RE EVEN FORCED
TO HIDE THEIR SHAPES.
An then again, and once more
girls must not wear dresses
which show their shapes too in
Ultimately, nor thin waists through
which lingerie and anatomy may
peep. You see, girl might as
we'll have no shape, il she's got
to rig herself up like an ironing
board in a pillow-case, but this
rule suits lot of girls, just the
same. 1t saves them from being
jealous. Also, a girl who can af

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 81
Following last nights ten round
battle in Oakland between Monte

followers today are clamoring for
a match between the Hebrew and

Monte fought rings around Car

In the fifth round Attell sent Car
roll to the mat with stiff right

This blow took all of the fight
out of Carroll and his cleverness

him to stall through the remain

BIC CIRCUS At LYNCHBURG
BaFnum q Bailey to Exhibit There on
Friday, October 18Th

The Barnum & Bailey greatest show
on earth is to visit Lynchburg on Fri
day, October, 18th. Never since the
beginning Of time has an amusement
enterprise so tremendous in size been
organized as this one. It's magnitude
is almost beyond belief. All America,
together with every foreign country
has been secured from end to end by
agents of this big show in search of
novelties and the result is a perform
ance brim full of sensational acts new
to the circus world. In the big Bar
mum G Bailey show are nearly 400
arenic stars, most of whom are seen
now for the first time. 4 new SEN
sation will be seen at every perform
ance in JUPITER, the balloon horse. "
This remarkable animal with its fear
less rider ascends to the dome of the
circus tent in a balloon and descends
to the ground in a shower Of fireworks.
Nearly / 1,OCJ animal wonders are to be
found in the big 10S cage mcnagerie.
Eight herds of elephants, including one
herd that actually plays upon musical
instruments in time and tune. A
group Of giant giraffes, monster trained
hippopotamus, only living bi-horned
rhinoceros and hundreds of other
strange beasts. Barnum & Bailey S
big new, free street parade is the
most gorgeous professional display
ever attempted in the history of the
circus business. Its tremendous size
and wonderful length can only be be-
lieved in the actual seeing 1t IS nat
ural to expect this big circus to lead
all others in quality and quantity OF Its
street spectacle as well as in other de-
partments of the big show, yet never
m its splendid history Of nearly hall
a century has it displayed such eX-
travagance as is shown this year.

Opera house Monday Night.

The sensational rural comedy drama,
Joshua Sinpkins, will be pro-
duced at the Opera House Monday
night, October II. The play contains
an interesting and Ineligible plot, but
IL is not allowed to interfere with the
fun, which is said to be in abundance.
During the run Of the play some start
ling scenes and situations are seen,
the principal of which is said to be
the saw-min, i'm the third act shown in
complete operation, cutting up real
timber. The saw used is the genuine
article, the same as usually seen in
large country sawmills. An excellent
band and fine orchestra accompany
this attraction. The band will parade
at noon. when some good music may
be looked for al being dressed as
farmers.

These were subjects Of practical inn

Neck Broken.

1t is not often that a fellow being
goes about with his neck broken, but
such was the sight we witnessed In
town on Saturday. The same man
went from here to Richmond and gave
his name as Teddy Williams Petis,
and saws his neck was broken when
the Quebec bridge over the ST. Law
renee fell on August lst 1907, killing
80 people. Dr. Anderson dressed
the neck here, and at Richmond he
went to the Memorial hospital for
treatment. An ingenious mechanical
device keeps his head in position and
if removed he says he would choke to
death.
He expects to recover 800, CJO
damages from the bridge company and
for that reason refuses offers to travel
with a show. We have no expression
of opinion from the doctors as to the
extent Of the injury, but if the neck
is really broken he should be sleeping
with the dead rather than walking
among the living.
