MINISTER STARTS
SOMETHING TERRIBLE
When He Delivered Sermon Crit
icizing Ladies' Fashions. He Got
Himself Into Bad Hole.

SPOKANE, Wash, May 2.-Wben
Rev DIR. H. c. kohr, pastor of Vim
cent Methodist Episcopal church in
Spokane, discoursed on "the Evils of
Modern Dress he started something
that may require the services of a
score of diplomats to set him right
with many of his fashionable congre-
CATION. He said in part:
I'VE shrink instinctively from the
cruelties of the Spanish Inquisition in
it's efforts to free the church of heresy,
bnt the goddess OF fashion Is Just as
cruel and intolerant. 1t does not use
the rack and thumbscrew and fagot of
physical torture, but it does employ
burning sarcasm, scornful, derisive
glances and social ostracism, whicn
are more effective.
"The chief remedy for this evil is in
the men of today. 1t has always been
true that men have become what the
women admired in them and vice
versa. Women today do not dress tc
please themselves, but to please
men. When men cease to show pref
erence for women extravagantly clac
/ they will become more modestly ar
rayed.'

WASHINGTON, May 2.-There are
S91 entirely separate and distinct
types of the genus homo in the house
Of representatives.
Leaving out the uncomplimentary
classifications, the above table is a.
fairly accurate guide to the national
legislature. But an appendix is
necessary Here it is:
Nick Longworth is not only the
baldest member in the house, but he
has the most charming blush.
Representative Stack, of Chicago,
who goes down on the list as the man
with the most hair. looks like a poet.
His favorite pose is in la Ebert
Hubbard.
collie" James dresses the part of
the biggest member. He always ap.
pears in the house garbed in a coat,
with yards OF flowing tails that fiutter
about his stalwart neither extremities.
''Ollie" comes dangerously near being
first as the baldast man. He Is
close second to Richmond Pearson
Hobson as the rlS<n with the biggest
voice When he whispers the floor
vibrates.
Little Cy' Sulloway of New Hamp-
shire, as he is affectionately termed
among veteran members, is consider
( able over six feet. He looks even
more mountainous, because he always
wears a flowing skirted frock coat,
never buttoned. He has the finest
example of homegrown paint-brush
! whiskers in the house. Frank B. VIII
lis, of Ohio and L. D. Young, of Kan
sas, are new members, and are lit
tie below the standard of class sci
by James and Sulloway. II DAME
y r. Anthony. of Kansas, had little
more heft, he would be dangerous
contender. AS it is, he is a lofty per
son who speaks from altitude of sil
