NOTES THE REFORM IN DRESS

New York, November 30.-The score
Woman'
Had they known what storm they
were going to let loose, it is not be-
lieved that DR.. Dudley Allen Sargent,
director of gymnastics at Harvard uni
versity, and John w. Alexander, presi-
dent of the National Academy of De-
sign, would have made their criticisms
of the increasing mannishness of Amer
lean women"
Latest reports are to the effect that
Sargent is barricadcd in his Cambridge,
Mass, office and that Alexander is I'M
der lock and key in the academy of de-
sign building in this city, to escape the
bareback that is resulting from their
attack on the femininity of women.
Women "Come Back"
Following is an epitome of the criti
cisms by Sargent and Alexander and
some of the many replies that have
been called forth:
"Woman's physique has become revo-
lutionized and already approaches that
of the other seX.'-Dr. Sargent
IF woman continues her violent ex-
ercise and outdoor life, in few years
she will become so man like in figure
that she will look ridiculous in wom-
ans attire."-John w. Alexander.
"Women on the street may appear
to have larger feet that is because
they no longer wear shoes that pinch.
Their waists may appear more am
pie; that is because they are not lac
ing themselves. Their hips may appear
smaller; that is because it is fashion
able to wear stays to make their hips
fiat. But woman is undergoing no act
ual change toward mannishness."- Har-
rlson Fisher, the artist, who has drawn
10000 women i'll the past ten years.
Just as Charming as Ever.
Our American women may have
more generous lines than the women
OF twenty years ago-due- TO reform in
dress and the care of their bodies
but they have all the charm of the
women OF twenty years ago and of 200
years ago.',Dr. Mary Holrman-Jones.
1--WE women today are just beginning
to get back to our normal proportions.
OF course our hands and feet are
larger; we use them more. But the
woman of today is just as charming
i'll her femininity as her mother or
grandmother Miss Elizabeth Burch-
email, inspector of athletics of the girls
branch of the Public School Athletic
league.
Venus is much stouter than we are
We still have lots of room to develop
before we acquire her proportions. We
simply are arriving at the common
sense age."-Miss Louisa Mann Win
gate, treasurer of the Public School
Girls Athletic league
Padding Heads Now.

of the Importance OF ushcring i'll the
church. and contrasted the effect OF
having men of frigid tempcraments or
men known to be scalawags in the
community as uShers, with the effect
on The church attendance when men
temperamentaily fitted for the work
are chosen. A warm welcome into a
church brings up the attendance, and
has built up many churches. The men
very best fitted for the work should
be chosen rs ushers. The scalawags

Lincoln Jail Burned.

Huntington w, Va, Jan. 20. -
The second incendiary outrage
perpetrated at Hamlin, the
county seat of Lincoln county,
during the past two months,
occurred early Wednesday NOR
ming, when the county Jail, loca-
ted near the ruins of the court
house, which was recently bur-
ned, was destroyed by fire.
By forcing a breach in the rear
wall, the prisoners confined in
the Jail were enabled to make
their escape, but the fire had
made such rapid progress that it
was impossible to save the Jail,
and efforts were concentrated on
saving the residence of the jailor
But two men were confined in
Jail, and one Of these, serving a
misdemeanor sentence, was dis
charged. while the other, held for
illicit retailing, was brought to
the Cabell Jail.
The Jail was a brick structure,
built in 1875. The fixtures were
modern and the Jail was regar-
ded as a safe place for keeping
prisoners.
State Fire Marshall Ellison,
with bloodhounds from this city
left for Hamlin to try to run
down the incendiaries,
The citizens of the county now
feel that unless decisive steps
are taken Immediately to discov-
er the guilty parties, that dep
relations will extend to school
houses and other public proper
ties.
The belief in the existence of
an OdJn UOund gang or lncendla-
ries has been confirmed, and
nothing now remains but to hunt
down the principals and bring
them TO justice.
Conditions which arose in con-
nection with the recent court
house fire caused the removal
from the Lincoln county jail OF
all prisoners charged with grave
ofenses, among these beinc
three men suspected Of hayin,
been connected with the former
crime, who had been brough
to the Huntington Jail.

General Lees Farewell.

The 10th of this month wa
the anniversary of the birth O.
General Robert E. Lee, the grea
chieftain of the contederacy.
There are yet quite a number
of veterans living in Calhoun
1nty who wore the gray anC
lowed him from the first tc
me last. One of these warriors
is the venerable John J. Math
I ews, Of Leafbank. whom we saw
on the streets of Grantsville on
the anniversary day. He served
first in the infantry, then in cav
airy, and when the war closed
was in the artillery, surrendering
day or two after Lee did near
Appomatox. Mr.. Mathews was
one of the few survivors of the
famous "Picketts charge" at
Gettysburg. where thousands of
good men gave up their life in
few moments for the cause
they loved. He is 10th to talk
of war scenes, and very few rem
iniscences can be obtained from
this intelligent old soldier, who
seems so we'll fitted to detail with
great interest incidents of that
terrible struggle. He was one
of those to whom General Lee
delivered the following address:
"After four years of arduous service
marked by unsurpassed courage aud for
titude the Army of Northern Virginia has
b'e1 compelled to yield 20 overwhelming
numbers and resources. | need not tell
the survivors of so many hard fought bat
ties who have remained steadflst to the
last, that | con sented to this result from
no distrust of them, but fearing that valor
and devotion could accomplish nothing
that would compensate for the loss that
would have attended the continuance of
the contest, | determined to avoid the use
less sacrifice of those whose past service
have endeared them to their conntrymen.
Py the terms of the agreement, officers and
men can return 10 their homes and remain
until exchanged. You will take With You
the sati' faction that proceeds from con
seriousness of duty faithfully performed,
and earnestly pray merciful God will
extend to you His blessing and protection,
With an increasing admiration of Your
constancy and devotion to your country
and grateful remembrance OF your kind
and generous consideration for myself,
bid you an aiectionate farewell
OR. +. LEE,
General"

Capt. Bill Stump brought up
some large barges last week to
be loaded with slaves. He will
likely take out some of the small
er barges on the present water.
Capt. Writ Ball was instantly
killed on his gasolene boat, the
Albatross, near the Sanoma
landing on last Tuesday morning
by being caught in the machine
ry. Mr.. Ball had many friends
in this county to whom news of
his sudden death was terrible
shock.
We are informed that Mrs.
&. H. Craddock is at present suf-
fering from a very severe cold
contracted about Christmas. She
had been doing splendidly, and
was rapidly recovering her health
up to that time, and her many
fir ends here are indeed sorry to
hear of her backset.
Eureka Lodge No. 40, A. F. &
A. M. had a very interesting
meeting Saturday night. j. B.
Huffman was initiated into the
mysteries of Masonry and Robt.
l.. Hamilton was given the fell
lowcraft degree. The Lodge is
and always has been in a very
healthy condition, having a large
membership of the best citizens
of the best county in the state.
Efforts are now being made to
secure the services of M. X. Du-
ty, lecturer, and it is believed
that he will respond to the invi-
tation in the near future, at
which time it is hoped that all
Masons will be present and i'm
prove themselves in Masonry.
The gasolene boat, Mabel,
came down from near Chenille
on the recent high water, and
her pilot not being familiar with
the river in this locality, ran her
full tilt into the ferry line at this
place and but for the timely
breaking of the line the boat
would certainly have sunk. A
great damage was done, however
as the ferry line has not been
fixed and we understand it is
Mr.. Hardman's intention not to
repair it. Many persons have
already been greatly inconveien-
ced on account of having no ferry
and those who were absolutely
compelled to ferry were subject
ed to a long wait in the extreme
ly cold weather, and to run
great risk in :ferrying, as the
boat is too heavy to be run by
hand with safety.
