OUTFITTING A WOMAN

It costs $2OO to bedeck a woman and make her look fairly nice and able to hold up her head among her sisters. if we are to believe the testi- money of Mres. Nathan Meyer, au- thor, playwright, and founder of Bar nard College. the feminine annex of Columbia University. Mrs. Meyer owns up to being forty-six years young to-day, and calmly admits that she was born in New York on Feb. 1e, 1867. Despite her literary activi- ties and her prominence in educa- tionaI and other public affairs, Mrs. Meyer is opposed to woman suffrage, and is a valiant fighter in the ranks of the antis.
 The mother of Barnard College qualified as an expert on clothes when she was called upon by a reporter to answer the statement of a New Jersey judge, to the effect that fifty dollars is quite enough to dress woman in the best of style. Mrs. Meyer laughed scornfully at the sartorial estimate of the Jersey jurist, and of fered modest estimate of her own. as follows: Suit, $40; coat, $40; Hats, $50; gloves, $15; corsets, $12; one pair of shoes, $4, and one pair of house pumps, $3.50. This makes total of $164.5O. This list does not include nor evening gowns, and a lot of other things. Altogether, concludes Mrs. Meyer, a woman simply can't hope to be well dressed on less than $2O0.
 Mrs. Meyers latest drama. '"The Dreamer, has clothes for a motif. stricken artist, is tempted to marry 8 rich man she doesn't care for in the least, so that she may be able to bedeck herself in the fnery her soul craves. Mrs. Meyer admits that the husbands and fathers will incline to- ward the estimate of the Jersey judge, rather than her own-but she has ob- served that masculine eyes are nearly always turned toward the wel1-dress- ed woman, and that they bestow scant attention on the cheaply-clad women whose economies they admire, theo- reticaI1y.
 Everybody'n be a soldier by and by at least in the United States-ao- cording to the prediction of Brig Gen. William Crozier, president of the United States Army War College, who will reach his hfty-eighth milestone today. In a recent address Gen. Cro- zier advocated that every youth, after leaving college or school, should spend a few months in learning how to shoot up his fellowman. The highest duty of man, in the opinion of Gen. Cro- zier, is to be able to perforate other men of other nations with neatness anu dOSpaICh-6 LA4S o0AOA e-A expressed it as "the ability to defend his country in time of war.
 Earnest thought is being given to a plan for the military education of the young men of the United States by the officials of the War depart ment,'' said Gen. Crozier- It is not proposed to adopt the European sys- tenn of two or three years of compu1- sorry service, but only two or three or four months.
 Gen. Crozier was born at Carroll ton, O., Feb. 19, 1855. He served in the war with Spain, and was chief or dnance officer of the Pekin relief ex- petition. With Gen. Burlington, he invented the BuffingtonCrozier disap- bearing gun carriage. He was chief of ordnance of the United States ar my before he became head of the war college.

Labrador has lately occupied much space in the newspapers, thanks to the missionary efforts of Dr. Grenfeu and other explorers in that bleak and barren country that was but recently a terra incognita.

PEARCE, Ariz., Dec. 13-A big Co., vote hunt which was expressing the entire attention here today was in stantly postponed when the demOnstra- tion train pulled into Pearce.

 The hunt, which is a sort of an an nual affair, and which attracts ranch CTS from all this section was looked for ward to with a great deal of enthusi- asm by the regular army of well to do citizens hereabout. These men con- scented very willingly to postpone the coyote slaughter until after the lectur- ing and exhibiting had been done. The result was that the train was crowded to the doors and big jam waited out side.
 Improvement brings success" has evidently been the slogan since the train was here a year ago.
 The lectures were held in the opera house here this evening, displacing a dance that was scheduled for tonight. Edgar A.
