Chicago, Oct. ll.-"That woman who
orders garment on approval to wear
lat fashionable function and then
returns it as unsuitable is as truly
"a CRATER as the policeman who ac-
'cepts money from the under world.
How can we hope to maintain a SEN
sitive conscience if our women share
the faint of graft?" said Rev. PEREZ
val H. Barker in haywood today.
"Such woman" he added, "would
cheat in game of solitaire"
Mr.. Barker has sent out letters to
twenty Christian young men in the
suburb requesting them to reply to the
questions:
"What are some of the essential ele-
ments in your ideal of true woman
hood?
"What do you consider some of the
most common faults in the young
women you have metz"
Among the faults mentioned was
that woman pay too much attention to
dress and thus too frequently neglect
inner adornment. The preacher admit
ted every woman should be we'll dress
ed, modestly, neatly, matching purse
person and position. But he maintained
that fashy, extravagant dressing is alb
surd.
"Too frequently do we find the $40
hat on the l0-cent head" he said
Filtration and gossiping, also were
condemned, the preacher saying:
"Never let young man think you
care for him unless you really do.
Hearts have been broken and lives
ruined by woman's tickle smile.
"The tongue, though homeless is a
mighty bonebreaker. Talk about things
not about people.
"The ideal woman" he said, "will not
look upon money, physical attractions
or social position as motives for her
marriage. Matrimonial brokerages she
will look upon with contempt. She will
never marry man to reform him.
She will never marry man who at
firms that he loves her so much that
if she does not marry him he will COM
NIT suicide. Let him do it, if he WILL
For he would threaten you as his wife
in the same way, and he would soon
find some one to take your place; for
"a love like that will not last long. If
his love for you is what it should be,
he would rather see you happy than to
make you his unloving wife,
New York, Oct, ll.-For those in
terested in the manly art of self de-
fense-othin like interjectin' here
and there bright and brilliant bit of
originality those interested in
this art, or science, or trade, the great
wrangle of the week will be pulled off
in San Francisco, with Coffroth's arena
at Colma as the stage, tomorrow as
the time, Jack Johnson, heavyweight
champion of the world as hero, and
Stanley Ketchel, the middleweight
title holder as the probable chief
mourner. Twenty rounds is the limit
set and the purse will be divided on a
65 and 80 per cent, basis. The men
are to get go per cent of the gate.
Coffroth offered $4,000 guarantee,
but the fighters think the crowd will
cough up much more than that to see
them perform. Jack Welch is to be
the third man in the ring.
The match is the outcome of the
many challenges and counter chal-
lenges that have thrown Gotham's
fistic population into Juror of ex-
element during the last few weeks.
Al Kaufman, the big Californian, had
been regarded as likely opponent for
Johnson, but his non convincing show
ing against Tony Ross brought the
matter to climax. After the fight
which was held at the Paramount club
promoter Coffroth sought out johnson.
The Californian boxing magnate told
the negro that he would guarantee
him $1,000 or $4,000 for a fight with
Kaufman, whereas if he decided to
meet Ketchel the purse would probably
be in the neignborhood of $4,000.
Johnson decided that it was to his In
terest to fight the middleweight cham
pion, and the match was arranged.
Owatonna, Oct. ll.-An Injunction
was served upon the contractors for
the grading of the Dan Patch Air line,
by Mrs. Carl Gladback, through her at
torneys, Sawyer and Sawyer. By the
terms of the injunction the contractors
are enjoined from proceeding with their
work ON lands owned by the party in
question, it being alleged that they
have commenced work without having
first secured right of way. 1t is
said that other parties will also apply
for an injunction.
The contractors obeyed the terms of
the courts order but have proceeded
with their work farther east and are
busily completing the grading. The
grade built is wide and most perfect
and the chief of operations, Mr.. Nc
Mott, is of the opinion that it sur
passes anything in the way of railway
grades in this part of the state. As
soon as the matter of the Gladback
right of way is settled, the work on
that farm will he continued All rail-
