Nearly a thousand dressmakers will ar
rive in New York next week for pri-
waite view of the new designs for the COM
ing season These modistes come from
every state in the Union. and the cards
of invitation to this exclusive trade eX-
hibit are of more value to their recipients
than are the invitations to the highest
social functions to the society belle. A
unique feature about this large gathering
of women is that it is an absolutely I'M
orga niZed body. Ea ch woman is there
entirely upon her own affairs. OF course,
many of them are members of the Ma
tional Dressmakers' Association and have
other common bonds, but this visit to
New York is entirely outside of these
In smaller towns there is much rivalry
among modisteS as to who shall receive
the invitations. and quite as many heart
burning jealousieS exist among ladies of
the trade among their fashionable Gus
toners. More than one travelling sales
man will have to change his route after
next month because his firm did not think
the order of some customer entitled her
to admittance to this exclusive trade priv
ilege. The statesmen or drummeI.S are re-
sponsible for many OF the invitations, al
though some firms send cards to custom
ers who have sent in fair sized orders
during the year. even if they live outside
of the circuit of the statesmen.

ATWOOD FLIES ESQ
MILES IN BIPLANE
Aviator Completes Third Leg of the
Boston Washington Journey
Meets Hard Winds.

Atlantic City, N J., July 5.-A thrill
was given thousands of holiday Wis.,
itors here yesterday afternoon when
Harry n. Atwood, the aviator.
after fighting heavy winds through
out his fight from New York, ter
minated the third leg of his proposed
journey from Boston TO Washington
by landing in his biplane on the
beach front. During the flight At
wood made three landings for gaso-
line, one near Asbury Park, the sec
ond at Tuckerton, y. J., and the
third at Venice Park, near this city.
Atwood said that judging from the
amount OF gasoline he had used he
must have Travelled at least $50
miles. He was in the air more than
five hours. The distance along the
coast is about lis miles.

WHITE SLAVE LECTURE.

False modesty is the cause Of
many a young girls downfall" said
Professor Barrett, a sociological
worker, who will appear at the Lyric
theatre today and tomorrow in lee
ture exposing the white slave traf-
f1c in this country. Few realize the
great extent OF this terrible trade in
human flesh and those who have
heard Professor Barrett say he tells
his story in such a manner its objec-
rionable features are lost sight Of IN
the pathos Of its great human in
terest. His lecture is an illustrated
one and he exposes the very depths
of depravity where degenerates hold
forth and the lust for money sweeps
away all vestige of moral stamina
and courage He alleges that three
fourths of the mysterious disappear
ances of young girls is due to the
white slave traffic. Those who have
heard the lecture say 1t is a wonder
full thing and that even those slightly
familiar with the workings of the
underworld know all he tells.

closely followed by Leading Lady,
owned in Galena.

SPRINKLING RULES BROKEN
City Calls q Halt and Will Enforce
the Ordinances to the
Letter.

Five million gallons of water per
day for $4,000 people Is an enor-
nous amount to be used in the "a

pumping station of Rock Island
showed for two days last week that
the amount was up to that figure
and that the average per day for a
month was nearly four million gal

more than 1t should be. The pump
ing station has been forced to its
capacity and never before IN the an
mails of the city waterworks depart
ment has the volume been so great
THERE Is REASON.
There is a reason for the large
excess and in order to eliminate the
excess, the superintendent of water
works has issued orders that the
terms OF the waterworks ordinance
be lived up TO by all users of city
water under penalty provided for in
the same ordinance. II is a well
known fact that up to the present
time hundreds of citizens have vio-
lated the law and have used the wa
ter for the purpose Of sprinkling
lawns during hours not specified in
the ordinance. The result is the ex-
cess. Hereafter any person who is
detected in the act of using water
except before o'clock in the morn
ing for two hours and after >
O'Clock in the afternoon for three
hours or at a time when there is a
fire. will be deprived of the use of

paid the expense Of shutting on his

charge. In addition a fine of from
81 to $50 may be imposed.
POLICE ON THE WATCH.
The waterworks officials will en-
deavor to reduce the supply to the
normal amount and will be aided in
the enforcement of the law by the
police department which has receiv-
ed orders to keep sharp lookout
for any transgression.
1t is not that the capacity Of the
pumps and the filter is insufficient to
handle this volume of water used BY
the people up TO 100000 gallons,
but rather that the low stage OF wa

pump a large quantity through the

THE GOOD SUGGESTION OF AN
OLD VET

To The JeffS: I am an old Vet, but
still feel young and if anybody wishes
to feel hurt at what I say, you may
give him my name in big caps.
Now, what | wanted to say is: If
our especial friend, Hoke, who claims
to be the especial friend of the people
and always looking after the interest
of the taxpayers wishes to give us an
economical government, why not do
away with the Court of Appeals, first?
Then require the Supreme Court to
perform their duty, for which their
salaries have just been raised.
2. Do away with the city courts
and require the judges of the Su-
perior Courts to perform the duties,
for which their salaries have just
been raised.
g. Then do away with the office of
N. P. eX-Officio j. P. (Which is po-
liticaD and give the J. P. elected by
O. NJ. Peepul final jurisdiction in all
misdemeanor cases in incorporated
towns with the right of appeal. BY
this means it would place it where a
petit officer could afford to do his
duty. AS it is now, he simply can't
afford to do so and live.

reasons did he give for so doing?

4 surplus was accommodating in the
treasury and Cleveland decided to use
the money in paying off outstanding
bonds, which were not due. Inasmuch
as the bonds had some years still to
run, the holders were not legally
bound to accept payment. Conse-
quently, they demanded a premium
on bonds; that is to say, larger sums
than the bonds called for; for in
stance, if the bond was for $1,000,
the holder would demand $1,240 for
it. This premium Mr.. Cleveland con-
tlnued to pay, until the bondhOlders
had got $60,000,000 of our money, in
excess of what we owed them.
Of course the Government could
have loaned out tie money at double
the interest the bonds were drawing,
but instead OF a business-like hand
ling Of the funds, they were donated
to the favored class which, since our
Civil War has bamboozled the Gov
eminent out Of twenty times more
money than would take to build the
Panama Canal, even it it cost $780,

TEXAS CONDITIONS RESEMBLE
GEORGIA'S.

Dear Sir: | was talking with a
man from Georgia the other day; the
subject was you and Hoke Smith. He
was telling what HOke had done and
what he would have done if he had
more time. I asked what it was.
Well" he said, che put the negroes
out of politics.. My answer was,
land a hundred thousand white
voters. y His reply was, mo; every
man that ever was a legal voter could
still vote" That he did not know of
one white man but voted if he wanted
to. Now you say that a hundred
thousand whites are DISTINGUISHED;
will you please explain through The
jeff?
1t may be he lived in a Hoke Smith
community; of course l would guess
all that were for Hoke could vote.
Same way, here in Texas, when
Bailey and Johnson were contesting
delegates to the Denver Convention;
if you were for Bailey, the Bailey
men did not question your vote, but
if you were an ex-Pop and against
Bailey, they wanted to swear you as
to whether you were Democrat and
would support the ticket.
1 hope there is not an ex-Pop in
Texas that will vote for Bailey; how
they can, can't see.

A GENTLE SOCIALIST QUERIES A
FEW,
FEW

Lear OlF. having recently D00n
entered on your subscription list as a
reader of your magazine and jeff, I
take the privilege on these grounds
to ask you few questions.
l am a Socialist and by reading
your literature | find you condemn
the Socialists, also denounce religion.
if | am not mistaken. Now, good
brother, what is your purpose, by
what method of reform can you pro-
post to make conditions better than
they are, socially, politically and re-
ligiously? A reader and friend,
CHARLES BRUCE GILL.
Arlington, Ala.
Answer.
You are mistaken in saying [ have
made any attack on religion; you
would not be a Socialist if you really
knew what their creed is; the thing
you have embraced as Socialism
differs very little from Populism Or
Jeffersonian Democracy.
Socialism as taught by it's founders
and it's acknowledged leaders is some
thing altogether different. 1t would
destroy home life, as we know it,
abolish our marital system, establish
communism, as to property and
plunge humanity into chaos.
Simply and briefly stated, our plan
for lettering conditions is, the repeal
of those laws which have given to
certain classes the power to rob
others, and to re-establish the real
Democracy of our forefathers. All
public utilities should be owned and
operated by the Government for the
benefit Of the governed. There should
be no special privileges granted to
any individual or class; we should
make all officers elective; presidents
should have term of six years, sub
ject to the recall, and they should be
ineligible for reelection. Trade
should be as free as the air; all taxes
should be direct; no congressman
should be allowed to serve after he
has been rejected at the polls by the
people.
Religion is a matter which pertains
to the individual, and the Govern
ment should have nothing to do with
it. AS to social conditions, they would
adjust themselves automatically if
political conditions were what they
should be. T. E. w.
