MILLINERY.

Tuesday and Wednesday were
opening days at Mrs. Curtis store,
which Yqs gay with autumn leaves
and malSy trimmed hats. A survey
of the place showed the mushroom
and policeman shapes to be the
popular ones this season, while will
low plumes put on helmet fashion,
ostrich, Persian silk, ribbons and
bands of gilt, ribbon flowers with
satin centers seem to be the favor
ite trimmings. All colors are good,
but blue in any shade has the pref
erence, with all black a close Sec
ond. The hats are rather severe in
trimming except when a frill of
narrow white lace around the face
breaks the stiff lines. The bows in
black are still much used. Mrs.
Curtis has a large variety of new
models to choose from, and this
year it is not a difficult matter as
most shapes are becoming. For
ready-to-wear hats the modified
English walking and peach basket
shapes with bows on the side are
the vogue. Misses hats are mostly
round felts with folds of Persian
silk. The willowette plume is some
thing new in trimming and is very
effective when combined in two
colors on dark hats. Mrs. Curtis
has this novelty.

WANTED: CLEAN BASEBALL.

Richmond has aud will continue to literally
patronize baseball-so long US it is kept upon
the plane Of the healthy invigorating sport which
1T naturally is, and which the people have a
right to expect it to remain.
In the beginning of the season, however, it
may as well be said that Richmond will not en-
courage or tolerate the prostitution of the game
to the level of prize fight. This should be
understood by players and audiences alike, by
umpires, and by the police on whom depends the
maintenance of order.
The game has steadily progressed in interest
and popularity until it is in truth the national
pastime. The public has in it a proprietary
interest. 1t is the chief amusement and recrea-
ton for thousands These thousands have the
right to demand that they be permitted To enjoy
public entertainment in decencv peace and
order
The scenes at the Friday afternoon ball game
were inexcusable Players forgot themselves A
small portion of the crowd forgot itself The
result was al exhibition of rowdvism, an in
diligence in profanity and general lowering of
the level OF clean sport which. with repetition
will surely kill the sport itself. Richmond wants
and delights in clean ball---it will not have the
other sort.

cutions. If however, the necessary effect of such
organizations is to work restraint of trade IN
violation of the terms of that statute, they should
not be granted an immunity in the doing of an
illegal thing by reason of popular sympathy with
one class of offenders, as distinguished from
popular resentment or prejudice against an
other class. If the people of the country desire
the Sherman law, they ought to be willing for it
to apply to all, as well as part, of the people
That is the course and theory of other laws
the only theory, in fact, by which in democracy
they be sustained.
The development of the Sherman law has been
such to make it Il vital matter to all sections
and to every class of people. In the light of its
logical extension, there be few honest men of in
formation who do not realize that TO be enforced
strictly and vet fairly, it needs amendment to
restrict it to the abuses at which it is supposed to
have been aimed without, as now, jeopardizing
interests which it was never intended to disturb.

FIVE negro men and women, who were placed In
Jail on the charge of vagrancy.
Characters of this sort stir the dregs OF vice
and incite to the more vulgar crimes. 1t ought
not to be forgotten, however, that vagrancy does
not necessarily imply poverty. 1t is true that
dleness accompanied by the Legitimate means
for its indulgence il not Hagrancy, but the law
looks also to the method by which the money
necessary to support idlcness is obtained.
The phrase, "visible means of support con-
stitutes the test of this most enervating and
demoralizing of misdemeanors; and the intent
of the law is not entirely to determine whether
a man have the price of meal and bed, but to
ascertain also if he does not get it by labor, how
he gets it.
The great majority Of people must labor for a
living When one mysteriously subssts without
labor, the law puts him to the necessity of show
ing that he is subsisting honestly. The most
fragrant vagrant is, after all not the slouch on
the public bench, but the gentleman with the red
cravat and the conspicuous diamond who by day
faunts himself in the eyes of the community as
one whose work, whatever department of vice
it may be exercised in j. done under cover and
- night.
There is IL every city q contingent of these
gentrv-gamblers and worse. They are
amonable to the law and, as operating by pre-
cept and example to increase their tribe, d real
menace to the community. Honest work on a
rock pile would do much for the health of these
individuals and of the city they disgrace by the
measure of their numbers

golden RULE" KOHLER INDICATED

1t Is with satisfaction that we read reports of
evidence in the trial of the charges against Fred.
kohler, Chief Of Police of Cleveland which in
dicate that they arc scarcely more than the in
Situations and innuendo of malice.
Chief kohler by reason of the adoption OF
new principle in the handling Of the police, has
won the soubriquct Of Golden Rule" lie dill
this by substituting persuasion for arrest mercy
n place of the club the ambition 10 preserve
order at the minimum of disgrace for that Of
making police court records. The results if con
sistent reports are to be believed, have been
astounding They show that the theory of the
necessity for brutality is false one, and that the
enforcement Of the law and the preservation of
the peace do not depend upon force. They show
that even III the handling of disorder, preventive
methods are better than punitive ones.
Under kohlers system, the drunken man, in
stead of being rushed to a cell and made to face

individual out of work. The one was punished
and the other heped,-Qa the whole The police
department of Cleveland was, within the limits
possible to such an organization, made to conform
itself to the great Rule for which the Chief Of
Police has been named.
In justification koher contends that il il the
place of the police TO do us little as possible to
destroy the hope, to bring disgrace upon or to
render desperate the unfortunate misdemeanants

tempts to draw a working distinction between
crime and the simpler breaches of the peace.
He claims that in many instances the real suf-
fcring involved in arrests for minor olfenses is
that endured by the wives and children Of the
offenders. He ditferentiates between vice and
indiscretion, and in carrying out his views has
sought to enbue his force with ideals Of patience
and consideration.
In view of these admitted facts, the success of
which has put to shame the police departments
of other cities, the charges of habitual intoxi-
cation and gross immortality appeared false upon
their face. They were not the reasonable char
acteristics Of man who could conceiye and carry
out revolutionary reform such as Kohler has,l
inaugurated. Had they been true, they would,
while destroying his continued usefulness, have
done scarcely more than again demonstrate the
mystery so frequently presented by the strange
contrasts of heart and act, of brain and appetite
BIT that the investigation should disclose a strong
and wholesome man behind sane and humane
system is cause of hope and congratulation.

ATTACK ON EQUALITY OF THE LAW.

1t is to be hoped that the Senate will refuse
concurrence III the House amendment TO the
sundry civil appropriation bill which seeks by
lndirection to limit the scope Of the Sherman law
by preventing It's enforcement against certain
classes of vioators Of lis provisions.
In the act mentioned, there is an appropriation
OF 3feo,6tt for the use of the government IN the
enforcement of the law, but the amendment
(which was adopted) provides that no part Of
this money shall be spent III the prosecution of
any organization or individual for entering into
any combination agreement having III view the
increasing the wages, shortening the hours or bet
tering the conditions of labor or for any act done
in furtherance thereof not in itself unlawful"
This, it seems to Us, is no less than cowardly
assault, not only on the Sherman law, but on the
great principle Of the equality of law itself 1t
is class legislation of the most dangerous char
acter, in that lis hypocritical intent is, while
leaving the law in force, 10 provide the means
for the prosecution Of one class of vioators while
openly inviting another. class 10 violate It's pro-
visions 1t is the bod-faccd and shameless recog-
milton in the terms Of a statute Of the spirit of
lawlessness which partial law enforcement in
evitabv fosters. 1t is the mandate of Congress to
the executive department of the government to
be dishonest in the enforcement of the very act
Of the legislative department. It. Is the effort
to do in the nation, for political effect, exactly
what the corrup. police of the cities do for the
sake Of graft. What moral difference is there
in Congress which seeks TO compel the execu-
tive department 10 ignore law for the sake Of
Tctes, and police department which winks at
Illegal dives because it desires their support and
contribution In truth the case of Congress is
the more indefensihlc in that the corrupt police
ignore law not of their making, while Congress
makes the law and then prevents It's application
