LACKING IN SENSE.
Letter Written Hans Schmidt by
Father McFauI.

Trenton, Sept. 15--The Right Rev.
James A. McFauI, bishop of the do
cese of Trenton, today made public a
letter written by him to Hans Schmidt
in 1870 While the latter was serving
at st. Francis. - In. his letter Bishop
McFaul said: rys T.
you are hereby notified that you
must leave this diocese Immediately.
1t is evident to me me that you are
wanting in common sense and there
fore L do not desire to have anything
more to do with YOU
Bishop McF'aul said Schmidt was
banished from his charge in this city
because he disobeyed the rules of the
church in performing a marriage cere-
mCny without a proper dispensation
and also because of complaints made
by parishioners of st. Francis church
concerning his conduct. Hans Schmidt
was not connected with the Trenton
diocese but came here from New York
to serve temporarily.

WASHINGTON. Sept. 15.-The cost of

nearly Is per cent higher than it was

ARE WOMEN MAD?
London Doctor Says Their Love
of Dress Is Insanity.
Milady Should Not Worry
just a Mild Form.

Why do women love to dress? Is it
because they love to dress for other
women? Do they dress for their hus-
bands or admirers? Do they dress for
their own amusement or pleasure? DR..
C. T. Ewart of London says it is none
of these things.
Dr. Ewart says that women love to
dress because they are, slightly in
sane. He says that love of dress is
merely a slight, neglected form of in
fsanity. While he admits that it is not
a dangerous form ard that the woman
who loves pretty clothes is usually not
&c pable of doing violent damage nor
ought to be confined in an asylum, he
insists it is one of the many harmless
forms of insanity that exist in many
persons in various degrees, and should
be cured.
According to DR.. Ewart. there are
two distinct classes of women who are
slightly insane on the subject of clothes.
One class of women is the class who
are actuated by the mere desire for self
display. The only reason this woman
dresses is to ''show off, to make a
good appearance, to create envy and
approval. Women of this class dress
up just to look well before others. Doc
tor E1wart has discovered that this wo-
man is pretty apt to be a slattern in
She cares only about impressing 9TH
ers, and is often disgusting in appear
ance when alone or just with her fam
lily. In addition, in the case of the wo-
man who is suffering from this kind
of insanity, the unseen parts of her APP
parel, even when she is on parade to
quote Doctor EwaTt, ARE usually of an
entirSly different order from that
SEEM
The second type of woman who is in
sane on the subject of clothes is the
one who, like the woman who constant
ly washed herself, receives her i'm
pulses from an esthetic sense. She is
in love with the beautiful. the dainty,
the delicate. A woman whose love of
clothes is due to a fine esthetic sense
becomes more and more particular
about her clothing the more intimate
its relation to her body. She usually
washes too much, and is too careful
about her garments, becoming too par
ticular about brushing them, washing
them and hanging them away.
Being crazy about clothes is no
longer a joke, but a stern reality that
must be cured, according to Doctor
Ewart, if the modern woman is to be
kept normal and sane

its first intimate meeting with Perry's
resurrected flagship, the Niagara, to-
day when the old vessel was opened

band concerts, life savers drills and
fleet signal drills by the United States
naval militia boats stationed here, Oc-
cupied the attention of immense
crowds. Perry relics and the Dewitt
Clinton train brought here especially
for the celebration We're inspected too.
Tonight the naval boats will use the
schooner Eliza Gerlach for target
practice, firing tracer shells. She will
then be blown up and sunk.

The mayor does not know of any
Topeka minister who made such a re-

SAME OLD GAS STORY.
yellow Pickering Lights and Cold
Meals This Winter.

Kansas City, Mo-, Sept. 15.-The
coming winters gas situation presents
the same, if not worse, old story of a
weak, yellow, Pickering light and cold
meals for want of sufficient pressure
E. L. Brundrett, president of TIE
Kansas City Gas company, has that
information for those who seek it.
And yet nothing is being done in adj
vance to mend the condition.
1t is useless for me to take the IN
itiatiVe," Mr.. Brundrett said, because
anything 1 or my company suggests is
looked upon with suspicion. 1t would
mean an Immediate search for bug

There is a way the consumers
could get plenty of gas for lighting and
cooking. but not for heating. 1t Is
not available for all three purposes,
but there is a way to get it for two
DurDoSes to the exclusion of heating.
In my opinion and that of the
conpany's lawyers there is a way to
cut off the gas for heating. 1t is by
ordinance making the price for heat
ing prohibitiVe. Another and better
wav would be for the two utilities
commissions of Kansas and Missouri
TO fix a uniform price for gas to be
used for lighting and cooking and a
uniform, prohibitive price for gas to
be used for heating. BY the latter
means there could he no diScrimina-

There is only so much gas in the
fields If all heating in the consum-
ing territory were prohibited it would
conserve that much more to be used
at a cheap rate for cooking and light
ing over a series of years.
"A uniform price in the two states
can be fixed only by means of an
agreement between the utilities COM
missions of Kansas and Missouri. If
the gas is to be used recklessly Tor

the supply soon will be depleted. Then
the people will have to pay a much
higher price for artificial gas to be
used for cooking and lighting. There
will be no natural product for use of

Its a deplorable condition when
people are told they cannot get gas
for lighting and cooking purposes.

ton and help solve it with any Off

EN- ROUTE TO MONTEREY
Last News Received of 100 American
Refugees.

Mexico City, Sept. 15.-Up to noon
today further news had reached
here of the party of 100 American
refugees from Torreon who are on
their way to Saltillo, through the rebel
country.
The American embassy is inclined
to believe reports of their detention by
rebels were without foundation. This
is based on a telegram from John r..
Silliman, United State vice consul at
Saltillo. saying they had passed Par
ras half way to Salti1lo, in safety
From Parras. it is said, the refugees
intended to take a route to the north
east toward Reata, doubtless in order
to escape the rebel bands along the di-
rect route and possibly to entrain at
