Woman I'm Trousers
Pelted With Eggs

Paris, Feb. 27.--Incidents Of pub
lie disturbance accompanying the APP
pearance in the streets OF women
wearing the new trousers skirt occur
daily.
The Avenue de rOpera was the
scene of one Of the more serious main
outbreaks. A woman, having been
surrounded by laughing, jerring
crowd, was unable to proceed, and a
man, taking advantage of the stu
alton, purchased basket Of eggs from
a dealer in a side street and distrib-
uted them among the other men, who,
in order to show their disapproval of
what they considered unlaylike con-
duct, pelted the helpless wearer of
the new garment until a squad of
police interviewed and aided the wo-
man to escape in an automobile.
Doubts appear to have arisen among
the leading Paris dressmakers as to
whether the skirt will be adopted by
women as a general fashion. But few
have been ordered thus far, and these
have gone chiefly to women from
abroad who were shopping here and
wished to take home the latest sensa-
ton. Many models have been sent TO
prominent houses dealing in women's
wear in New York City.

II is Intimaled That They viii
HOLD a Mass In Near Future

The leaders of the independent ele-
ment in city politics are laying plans
and forming plots for mass meeting
to be held in the immediate future
for the purpose of nominating candi-
dates for city offices and setting forth
principles upon which their campaign
is to be conducted Just. now there
seems to be no probability of the re-
publicans in the city getting out
strictly partisan ticket to oppose the
ticket to be put forth by the demo-
Gratis. The republicans will without
doubt combine with the independent
clement in putting forth strictly in
dependent ticket for the consideration
of the voters of the city. as opposed
to the partisan ticket to be brought
out by the democratic leaders,
Nothing definite has been done by
the independents as yet but the situ-
alton has been discussed in all of its
phases by the more prominent Of the
independents and. republicans and a,
mass meeting will be called at an.
early date. At the meeting the plat
form will be adopted and the other.
necessary steps taken toward waging
an active campaign against the demo-
cratic candidxses- ssw
Ward meetin g. will be held also
similar to the meetings that have been
held heretofore The Independents
are planning To have all of the ward
meetings held on. the same night. BY
this method 1t ID hoped TO thwart the
ward heelers and wire pullers in their
work. Heretofore the ward meetings
have been held on different nights.
This gives the wire pullers an oppor-
tunity to 60 from one meeting to the
other ON successive nights and get in
theinw6rk at all OF the meetings. This
year an attempt will be made to elimi-
nate these Objectionable features.
There is much speculation as to the
candidates that the independents will
fpgtoput. Many candidates have been
IueBtioned and the friends of each are
fbusying themselves about putting for
fward their choice. The name Of Mr..
I'd. w. Sorrell is among those more
,lprominently mentioned In the inner
lcircles as the prospective opponent of
the democratic nominee. Mr.. Sorrell
has so far aligned himself with neither

he would accept the nomination II It
