HAS TO PAY CoRsET-MAKER.

Philadelphia, May 23.-If a woman
be unlucky enough to have forty
inch waist measure, and then lucky
enough TO shed a couple of the inches,
has she got to pay her corsetiere SIS
an inch?
She has. That is, II trv corsetmak-
er goes on giving her forty-inch cor
sets because she has failed to notify
the maker of the glad tidings of her
slenderness and she insists on having
them altered to thirty-eight-inch cor
sets. to suit her now more sylph-like
figure.
That was the decision handed down
today against Mrs. d. Webster Dough-
erty in a suit brought by Mrs. NJ w.
Ramsey, corsetiere. Mrs. DouGherty
is social leader and had a most In
comfortable time with her daughter,
Marion, & couple of years ago. Mar
ion eloped with Bohemian baron
named Goebel. only he wasn't baron
after all, and he sued his parents-in-
law for alienation of affection, and
they sued him for divorce. Still
Mrs. Dougherty did not grow thin,
but otherwise. She ordered two pairs
of forty-inch corsets OF. Mrs. Ramsay
at $50 pair. and they fitted like a
dream.
So much so that when she came
back from Europe few months ago
she ordered two more pairs. Only
she did not say that she'd grown two
inches thinner. Then, when the cor
sets had been made according to her
old measure. she demanded altera-
tions free of charge, Mrs. Ramsay in
sisted on charging an extra SO tor
each pair. Worst of all, the corsets
continued not to fit"
So Mrs. Dousherty and Mrs Ram
say fit instead-legally speaking.
Dougherty is one of the leading law
yers of the Philadelphia bar. He was
in court today with the corsets as
exhibit A.
Magistrate McCleary considered
the weighty matter and finally allow
ed Mrs. Ramsay's full claim. even
tacking on dollar for interest.

into this big world after having had
an unusual experience. For thirteen
days the mother hen had been busily
attending to her setting duties when
a hungry snake drove her from the
nest and gorged itself with three
eggs. The reptile fingered about the
premises and McCracken shot it.
Wondering at its odd proportions. he

eggs. They were placed back under
the hen and at the end of the regula-

The Symphony orchestra did itself
proud at the Majestic yesterday after
noon. Their program was warmly
received by a packed house. Mr..
Arthur Wake. vocalist, is seldom
heard in better voice and sang two
beautiful numbers. Prof. Emile R,ls-
pillaire's violin solos were the hit of
the concert. He shows great briiii-
ancy and teqnique and his rendition
of the hungarian Raphsody was a
number long remembered by all who
were fortunate enough to hear 1t. Mr..
John Cameron's xylophone solos
were splendid and his reception was
very enthusiastic. Sr. Jesus Santos 8

was masterpiece. Mr.. Lew Dia-
mond, clarionet, did his usual high
grade work. Mr.. Sturtevant should
be com mended for his public spirited
ness. We hope for many more such

the committee had the facts before II
and knew exactly what proportion Of
Increase was fair In each case. And
the general principle Of raising the
license rates Is entirely commenda-
BILE. In tho past decade. hundreds OF
liauor- dealing houses Of all kinds
have boon wiped out of existence.
This has left much larger business
for those that remain, and they can
bear and should bear an Increased
portion of the burden OF government
In particular is this true of tho mall
order houses, whose tax 1t Is pro-
posed to increase from $3.50 to $1,000.
AS moro and moro territory in the
State has gone dry. the business OF
these concerns has increased by leaps
and bounds. Gossip puts the years
profits OF one OF the leading mall
order houses in this city at figures
that are simply staggering. 1t is per-
fectly reasonable that the State should
step in and claim share of this In
crement, as It claims a share in the
Increased value Of real property.
There is also another consideration
which still further justities high
tax. The nnail-order liquor business
comes under the head of doubtful
trade, permitted but not encouraged
by society and already Disseminated
against by the law. Here in Rich
| nond man can open commission

] him $500 to open the most modest sa-

strictive and regulative effect. 1t j

houses. These concerns both enjoy
highly profitable business with limite'
competition, and are open to objec

of their activities Is to frustrate tn
hopes of many communities which

to keep the liquor agitation ceaseless

LOCAL NEWS rs THE DEST NEWS.
DR.. Woodrow Wilson is quoted as
saying that he has to take provin-
cial paper to get the news OF the
world. as tho metropolitan papers
crowd out world news for local news.
We suppose the good doctor was
merely having his Joke. II he was
serious. he has simply shown himself
as careless an observer of what lies
under his nose as is many another
newspaper reader. Tho size of his
mistake he can discover at any time
by taking a foot-ruie and measuring
up" the telegraph and cable columns,
first In any of the full-grcwn dailies
of New York or Chicago. and next Of
the leading journal. say, Of Youngs-
town, o.
But it must not be supposed that
1t is an adverse criticism on a news
paper to say that it devotes especial
attention to local matters On the
contrary, that is the first duty of a
newspaper, as we'll as the best pos
sible business for 1t. Any great
daily which began expanding its tele-
| graph news and emitting or scrimpins
local news would rapidly lose circula-
ton. It's readers are much more In.
terested in the latter than the former,
and that is human nature Tho sick
ness of the neighbours baby may be
the most absorbing happening of the
week to the man who is kept awake
by the infantile lamentations. No
detail about those we know, or know
of. or can SEQ with our own eyes, Is
too trivial to have certain news
value" The establishment of con-
stitutionalism in Turkey may be an
epoch-malsing event. but 1t will never
stir an American city like the discov-
cry, say, that the authorities are
thinking OF cutting down a certain
old and respected oak tree. It may
be deplorable, but It is solemn fact
that large numbers OF people in Rich
mond would be more interested in a
lively cat fight at the corner of
Seventh and Broad Streets than In
any state paper that could possibly
come out of the White House.
