HELMETS FOR FTRENIEN.

the members of our fire departments,

MANY of the deaths. especially

employed by life-saving crews in

the bill.
"a singular condition has developed

apparatus after it has been provided.
The explanation is found in a false
pride whereby the fireman feels that
in putting on the helmet to enter a
burning building he is displaying lack
of courage. In this his bravery is
more conspicuous than his good judg-
ment, and the sooner the fire 1addies
get this notion out of their heads the
better. No one whose opinion is worth
having win think any less of them for

If, as Dr.WilIiam Carter, of the Madi-

clared on Sunday, New York city has
become "the graveyard of ministers, .

clared not long ago that Manhattan

for the foreign missionary" He may
have spoken more truly than he real

The conditions in this city are so
peculiar, most of our churches are so
Isolated and so liable to all the dan

The Matters Coat .

Two young girls entered the Broad
street station restaurant for lunch the
other day, and, finding no table va
cant, sat down with an elderly, de-
termined looking woman who was
nearing the end of her meal The
two girls gave their order, and were
chatting to each other, when, suddenly
the strange woman leaned over and
demanded of one of them. do you be-
lieve in young girls helping colored
men to buy fur overcoats?' % The girl
so addressed was astounded, but as the
question gradually sank into her con-
seriousness she said, "Of course not"
Then have some sense and don't tip

outrage the way walters in public

ago wearing fur overcoat and
dressed all over like a banker. No
wonder when you pay for your meal
and then give him nearly a half more
as present. Don't you do it. You
bet 1 don't" During this TRADE two
or three of the colored walters were
near enough to hear it plainly, and
they stood amazed with gaping ears.
The woman of discrimination was as
good as her word. She ordered the
waiter to bring her check, and march
ed over to the desk and paid it her
self on her way out. But the two
frightened girls. when their lunch
was over, meekly proffered to the wait

..IIook % the Back.,,

There is much talk of -women's
rights these days. The suffragettes
are militant and clamoring for the bal
lot. Other rights are demanded for
is said about the rights of man. Poor
man is entirely neglected, and AFRO
gantly is told, in effect, to go way
back and sit down.
But it is said that the worm will
turn at last. In the case of man this
saying is about to be verified in re-
gard to one of woman's tyrannies-
the hook I'D the back dress. From
various parts OF the country come in
dications of a revolt against this fe-
male fashion, which has already pass
ed the stage of mild protest and is
assuming the form of a stern demand,
OF the give me liberty or give me
In New York this revolt is finding
expression in fulminations from the
sanctum. The Times shows the folly
OF this fashion, and the Journal in a
slugged and copyrighted leader ex-
cor1ates 1t. Down with the "hook up
the back dresses is the cry, resound-
ing with more determined energy than
the cry of the suffragettes for the bal
lot
Was the style of dress invented for
any other purpose than to tyrannize
over man? Think how the poor hem
pecked husbands have been tortured
by this devicei Manipulating hooks
and safety pins and buttons is some
thing that no mere man was ever able
to accomplish with any degree of dex-
terity, and miserable has been the ex-
perience of the poor fellows cornpell-
ed to do this hooking I'D the back.
Not only are these poor men the
suffering victims of this hook up the
back fashion. but also countless poor
girls. "As well be out of the world as
out of the fashion," and so girls not
yet in position to act the tyrant over
a man have been in sore straits. They
have felt compelled to follow this
fashion, and without husband or
lady's maid they have doubtless ex-
perienced immense difficulties in hav-
ing themselves hooked up.
But the cry for reform has been
raised. 1t is rising above all other
cries, and it will not down until de-
liverance shall come from this device
invented to allow women to tyrannize
over poor, patient, much abused man.
