Masculine Dress Reform.

The Mems Dress Reform society has
been founded in Berlin. with the OBJ
ject of bringing masculine attire to a
higher hygienic standard. The society
protests against the "air tight armor
plating" of the starched shirtfront, the
cast iron rule of black frock coats for
weddings and funerals alike and the
general system of dress which involves
the wearing of many tight fitting gar
ments. each overlapping the other.
The society is greatly in favor of knee
breeches for everyday wear in place of
the conventional trousers, which. its
members declare. require great skill in
cutting and are a source of considera-
BILE trouble to the wearer. Stiff collars
and cuffs are also taboo.

The Candidate of the Regular Dem.
OcPacy,

The Donaldsonville Chief (Repub-
lican) says: To the imputation of a
contemporary that Michel is the
candidate of the regular" Democ-
Iacy, that Aswell is an independent
seeking the support of all who are
unwilling TO follow the so-called
regulars, and that Hall us the can
didate of the disgruntled element, y
the Alexandria Democrat pithily re-
terts that the Supporters of Michel
are no better Democrats than those
supporting Hall, even if as good, and
that "men who attempt to over
throw corrupt, autocratic and tyr
.annical ring, instead of being dis
.gruntled, evince the highest order of
patriotism and party fealty."

Judqe Hall and the Machine.

The Donaldsonville Chief (Repub-
lean in its issue of August 10 says:
so far as our observation extends
Judge Hall hasn't 'ducked' an issue
yet, and his Candor i'll meeting the
derogatory charges and aniuladVer-
sions of his opponents may well
prove a potent factor in command
ing the respect, confidence and sup
port Of voters who love manliness
and fair play.
''One Of the shafts recently hurled
at the gubernatOrial candidate OF
the Democratic Good Government
League is that he sought the sup
port of the state machine when he
was a candidate for judge-that he
appealed to Governor Sanders and
the latter's political friends for aid
in the contest, and was then quite
willing to accept the help of the ring
he now assails.
"At Mansfield last week, before a
large audience, Judge Hall cited and
aswered this imputation with char
acteristic frankness and force. He
said that during his campaign for
Judge he had met Governor Sanders
or a train one day and told him, as
he had hundreds of others, that he
would appreciate anything he could
do for him; that he had said the
same thing TO Henry Bernstein,
personal friend and then a fellow
lawyer at the Monroe bar, but now
practicing in Shreveport and regard
ed for the past four years as a sort
of vice governor for North Louis
lana. Judge Hall said he had sup
ported Sanders for governor on the
strength of the splendid platform
the latter had announced, not being
able to fOresee that the structure
would be violated in letter and in
spirit, but that he had never been of
or for the machine; had never been
and never would be ringster; had
ALWAYS opposed the ring and would
always oppose it.
"Dr. Aswell, Mr.. Michel and all the
other candidates for Office feel
themselves free to solicit support
from all classes of Democratic vot-
Eers without compromising their own
views, alignments or principles. Is
it reasonable to question Judge
Halls good faith because he exer-
eises a like privilege"
CAS- far as known the vice gov
ernor for North Louisiana" is not
praeticing law i'll Shreveport. If he
is, he is keeping his light hid. Nor
has his voice indicated his presence
in a community where 'vice gov
errors without number and of va
rious phases are noticeable on street
corners, reyeling in their knowledge
of politics and criticising the trick
of some politicians

A Kings Private Directory.

Great is the part which the humble
life of King George Of England. Peo-
pie presented to him are invariably as
tonished and .flattered to find that he
knows all about them, their family
and their achievements. He puts some
kindly question that shows intimate
knowledge. The explanation lies in
the card index. Nobody has access to
the king without an appointment or an
invitation, SO that he has always time
to consult the private directory and to
know precisely what the person he is
going to meet has done.

EGGLESTON'S WIFE
GRANTED DIVORCE
Husband in Prison for En-
bezzling U. S. Funds.

Cincinnati, Dec. Mrs. Mama R. Eg-
gleston was granted a divorce from
William H. Eggleston, former superin-
tendent OF the United States money order
division Of the Cincinnati post-ofice, to-
day by Insolvency Judge Warner. The
sole ground on which the separation was
granted was that Eggleston is serving
q two-year sentence in the Federal
penitentiary at Fort Leavenworth, Kans.,
for embezzling government funds.
Neither Mrs. Eggleston, who is EN-
ployed in the department service at
Washington. nor William H. Eggleston
appeared in court to contest the case.
Judge Warner was able to grant the de-
cree without either party being present.
because the law makes confinement in
a penitentiary a valid ground for divorce.
Attorney o. B. James, representing the
wife, presented to the court the origi-
nal volume containing the marriage rec
ord In this country, including the minis
ter's return thereon, showing that they
were married in 1891 That established
the fact Of marriage. An official state
ment signed by the warden Of the peni-
tentiary that Eggleston had been re-
ceived there constituted the case, and
the decree was granted. Mrs. Eggleston
was awarded the custody of their six
year-old daughter, Ruth.
