GOING TO WEAR ROBE ANDROCYNE7
REAL PARIS BIFURCATED ARRIVES

special 0orrsspoa dencs 70 The Press
NEW YORK, Jan. 14.-Stand by!
It's here--it.
1t is the Robe Androgyne," and
be It known that the queer name
stands for a bifurcated garment OF
the feminine gender suggesting
masculine gender peg leg trousers
Of the crop of 1871.
Robe Androgyne" was built in
Paris q couple of months ago, and
the first model has just arrived in
this city. 1t is now on exhibition
in the shop of fashionable dress
maker, whittier the women folks
are flocking in large numbers to
take peek at it.
The New York dressmakers do
not expect much Of demand for
robe Androgyne." Some actresses
may be seen wearing it before the
spring, and possibly few mannish
young women who are always look
ing for the sensational in dress.
Miss Ada Walsh, fashionable
dressmaker of West Eighty-third,
said:
Fashion is such an arbitrary
and uncertain thing that it would
be foolish to say positively that
notwithstanding the efforts of the
Partisan dressmakers no trousers
or anything resembling them will
be worn by women in New York.
The trend of fashion has always
been to emphasize women's fem
ininity and to exaggerate those
charms for which man admires hsr.
Men, you know, make, to some
extent, the fashions. At least they
have the same voice that women
have concerning their marriages.

majority Of men find unattractive
never lasts.
THE fashion has all sorts Of pos
sibilities. For instance. there would
have to be short robes for rainy
days that one could turn up at the
bottom. Think of the effect, par

Boxers and wrestlers who will
represent Spokane in the interclub
meet in Portland tonight left yes
terday afternoon confident of win
ming every number on the card.
At the last moment little Johnny
Carabin consented to 60 and meet

SPEAKS FOR MEN WHO
NEED SHELTER

Editor, The Press-1 read an
article lately that l believe is cal
culated to create false impression
in the minds of those that are
charitably inclined and who are
doing much to relieve the suffer
ings OF hundreds of men, homeless
and broke this exceptionally hard
winter. I allude to the statement
made by George H. Lufkin, pro-
prietor of the Workingman's
Home.
This is 10 cent lodging house,
and he has done prosperous bust
ness. The fact that many Of his
customers are permitted to sleep
in the tabernacle free must hurt
his business, hence the kick.
Friends of the homeless must re-
member that many Of these men
have been out of work a long time
through no fault of theirs, and
many of them are unable to do a
hard days work If they got 1t to
do. None but their associates
know how many of these men are
crippled, sick, ruptured and so on.
Many of the dimes that have gone
to pay for these 10 cent beds have
been begged on the streets from
the charitable and more prosperous
laboring man.
Now, to say that men will go and
sleep on bare boards these cold
nights, without cover and poorly
dressed as many of them are, and
then have money in their pockets,
is absurd. l believe that free
meal and a place to sleep is a
good investment that pays in Spo-
kane as well as in heaven.
Notice how few holdups there
are lately and how very little petty
thieving is going on. when We have
1000 dead broke men in our midst,
desperately hungry.
If Billy Sunday-God bless him
and the good Christians behind
him, choose to give us a little prac-
teal Christianity, for mery's sake
don't throw cold water on their
efforts. w. l.. Thomson

his Manager will take out some
weak batter that he can be substi-
tuted. About the only chance the
pinch hitter has to feel jubilant is
when he has been called on to per-
form and drives out the base hit
that returns his club victor. =.
To have the cheers of the fans
ringing in his ears at a time like
that is mighty fine, but does it
atone for the times after he has
failed to deliver the much needed
hit and on his way to the club
house he hears some particularly
rabid fan yell: Get out, you big
NUT. You couldn't fall out Of boat
and hit the water!"

The pinch hitter's life Is far from
being a continued bed Of roses. To
the casual observer it appears
pretty soft for man to sit on the
bench every afternoon for seven or
eight innings, with nothing to do
but watch the game and then be
called on to step to the plate in a
pinch, to hit for some weak hitter.
Nothing of the kind. The man
that is kept on the pay roll to do
stunts of this sort has his work cut
out for him, and even though the
rest Of the regulars tell him what a
snap he has, not one of them would
willingly exchange places with him.
The pinch hitter holds his job be-
cause he can swat the ball. Every
time he is sent in to hit for some
one he is aware that it's up to him
to deliver safe drive.
He has been sitting on the bench
possibly the greater part OF the
afternoon without getting a chance
to see what sort of stuff the pitcher
is serving, and he knows that the
moment he steps to the plate the
finger will give him everything IN
his repertoire.
Then everyone in the stands II
looking to him to clout and banking
on him to make good. The fans
seldom take into consideration that
no matter how good a hitter q
player may be, he only makes one
base hit in about every three trips
to the plate.
Then he may be asked at any
moment to play some position, and
this keeps the emergency swatter
on the anxious seat. IL

Colonel Addis Dead;
 .g Travelled the World

New Haven, Aug. 1.-The death of Col Thomas Emmet Addis, formerly general agent of the Winchester Re peating Arms Company, took place Monday night at his rooms in the New Haven House, following an illness of several months. Death was due to a chronic aflment. He was 69 years old, , and was never married. His time was spent almost entirely in travel in the interests of the firearm manufactur- ing concern. Several years ago he purchased a lot in a local cemetery
 ~Traveler.''
 Col. Addis covered the world many times and was a delightful narrator of odd experiences. He had been gen. eral agent of the Winchester Company for thirty-nine years, and was deco rated years ago by Alfonso II. then King of Spain. His title Colonel was won during the campaign against Maximillian in Mexico. He resigned his position with the Winchester Com pany in 1901, stating that he wished to spend his remaining years in retire ment, but the wanderlust overcame him, and he set out around the world after a few weeks rest. Two years ago he took his last long trip, crossing Eurasia and covering the entire length of the Trans-Sfberian railroad When he was attacked with the illness which caused his death he was in Yucatan.
 Col. Addis was captain of a ship at the age of 19 years. He was a skilled mechanic, and delighted in solving diff ficult mechanical problems.

Southern Pacific Company. To thwart MT Harriman's plans. the people of Los Angeles brought suit to set aside certain tide-lands claimed by the rail- road The Southern Pacific seeking to offset the possible result of this suit, applied to pliant trustees for fif- ty-year leases of equivalent lands. These leases would give the railroad the control it sought, whatever the re- suit or the suit. Captain A Fries, the Government engineer in charge of the harbor, in public Interviews and addresses, warned the people in time to arouse public sentiment which alarmed the trustees and induced the Southern Pacific to withdraw its re- quest At the very moment Captain Fries efforts bore fruit in these re- suits, telegram was received in Los Angeles. announcing Captain Fries removal to other scenes of usefulness. Perhaps it was mere coincidence. It IS to be hoped, also, that there is nothing more than coincidence in the fact that Captain Fries chief, Jacob M. Dickinson, was the attorney of the Illinois Central Railroad, one of, MT. Harriman's properties, at the time of his selection as Secretary of War by President Taft.
 Capt. Fries evidently erred in thwart- ing railroad plans, even though his action was in the public interest; per- haps, he forgot or overlooked his su- perior officers former railroad affilia- tions-he may even have disregarded them. Not all subordinates of the War Department tempt fate in such way
