MARY WALKER SAYS WOMEN OF SMALL BRAINS. DR. This Apostle of Pants Declares that Skirts are 9. Badge of Slavery, and that All Fashions are Taken from Lower Order of Animals. ' Are women of small brain calibre. whose normal characters no one cares to discuss, to be allowed to govern the conduct and designate the wearing apparel of women sensible enough to ride a bicycle with the dignity of true womanhood? ' ' I have never ridden a wheel, and never expect to, because of a weak- ness in my right leg due to an injury, but I wish godspeed to all Women who do ride, and I wish all of them would dress as well as some of them do. No dress worn by a wheelwoman can be perfectly safe unless trousers are worn to the exclusion of skirts or pet- ticoats. That such attire, whether ‘- worn on a wheel or at other places, is the “modest one for women” as well as men it is too late to deny. ' As women spend a great part of their time considering dress, and as nothing comforts has ever been the fashion, it is natural that all classes of women should evince a feeling of unrest about their apparel, and should be anxious for a change. Most women rush af- ter a new fashion with an undefined expectation that what is essential to the comfort of both soul and body has at last been attained. A trial soon demonstrates that the new fashion means a disadvantage to some part of the body that was unforeseen before the new style was tested. ' Women have been pack horses to the extent of carrying wire enough to en- circle the globe. They have worn enough rings in their ears to nose—ring every pig from ocean to ocean! Now these absurdities are to be revived again, and civilization to take a back step, but the bicycle women are capa- ble of better things, and since they have tasted of liberty of feet it is to be hoped that they will not heathen- ize their ears when Off their wheels. It is a curious condition of dress af- fairs that bodily ills caused by meth- ods of dress call forth other absurd methods to cover them up, and that with all the boasted superiority of the humans the animals must be imi- tated. The great sleeves that make the shoulders wider than the body is long is the condition of the gorilla. The bustle makes women resemble camels. The hangs on the forehead are like the horse; the pointed shoes are like the end of the anaconda; the hats are like the bird, and the waist is like the wasp. Women’s dress is a badge of slavery! Yes, anéd of inferiority as well. Even young sons recognize the difference in the power of men and women, conse- quent on dress, and respect the wearer of trousers as they do not the wearer of pettic'oats. The boy with his first pair of trousers feels belittled if re- quired to put on pctticoats for any cause. TVomen on the wheel are helping others while they helpthemselves, and I exhort every one to dress like a man and have the full benefit of the wheel and your own power. lVear trousers of some sort or style as suits you best, and do not be guilty of a back step. Do not regard the faint opposition of the few who oppose you, but show your grandeur and nobleness as wo- men who comprehend their rights and duties as well. You are now an expo- nent of principles that are to be your own salvation in essential regards. I wish some women who wear the or- dinary dresses would say publicly as they have said privately: “Are we a set of idiots to submit to the chains of dress?” Just so long as women cling to follies, just so long will they be es- timated below the par of men! DR. MARY E. WALKER. Another View of Bernhardt. A, correspondent of the Savannah News says: I expected to see a. wo- man singularly tall, inexpressibly lean and lithe, dark and dangerous, a Bella-Demonia. But I didn’t. In the first place she is not tall. She isn’t more than five' feet, three or four inches. She is not thin. She is curiously plump in places. That is to say, she is not well-made. The up. per parts of her arms are plump, the forearm bony and sharp-elbowed. Her lower limbs, .ditto. Her waist is per- fectly enormous, her bust is not. Her ,hands are small, so are her feet, so are her eyes, but the latter are long—— “jewel-like, ophidian.” She is neither dark nor dangerous, at first sight. Her hair is a rich, red gold, whether owing to champagne or nature it matters not; it is beautiful. I made this criti- cism of her in “La Tosca.” When I saw her as Cleopatra I only gasped. So did everybody. There is nothing like her. She is more beautiful than ,Venus, more exquisitely graceful than a dream, i or voice is music, her fasci- nation something to make the blood cold. She was Cleopatra’s self. There was not a man in the audience who did not feel as if he would have given up his soul and all his salary to be in Marc Antony’s place.- And not a wo- man who did not resolve to go home and be lithe and languid. College Smokers Go Down Foot. Prof. Fiske, official physician at Yale, gives as a page from his experi once, that of a class of‘ 147 student' the 77 who did not use tobacco sar- passed the 70 who did by 10 per cent increase in weight, 24 per cent, in- ‘ crease in height, 26 per cent increase in chest girth, and 77 per cent in lung capacity.

They: Result In His Organ Being. Do- nounced For High Treason. BERLIN, Nov. 30.——The revelations oi the Hamburger Nachrichten, after all, will not be allowed to pass without judicial in. quiry. The Frankfort Zeitung has carried out its threat and denounced the Hamburg er Nachrichten before the state’s attorney for high treason, and the Koraigsberg Zei' tung' has done the same. Both actions are due to these two newspapers being prose- cuted by the government for indiscreetly publishing state news. There is little doubt now that a parlia mentary conflict will occur during thii session of the reichstag over the naval budget. Emperor William, speaking re cently to Admiral von Hollman, secretary of the navy, is reported to haVe said: “The question of bringing the German navy to the point of being really formida- ble, not only for defense, but for aggres- sion, is one of life or death for the nation, inasmuch as it involves grossmachtstellung ‘ of Germany as much as the state arm ‘ does, and Whoever loves the fatherland will help me to bring this about, as the German navy is at present wholly inade- quate for its mission in the future. ” This imperial utterance is now circulatt ing in reichstag circles and is much com- mented upon. It is certain that no ma.- jority will be found in the reichstag for these projects. The Centrists and the en- tire Radical wing are against it, which give an adverse majority of about 20. FAMOUS ISOOROHBRS HERB. Several Foreign Bicycle Racers Arrive to Compete With American Cracks. NEW YORK, Nov. 30.-—-A large delegai tion of foreign cycle racers arrived on the steamer St. Paul, including the famous Linton brothers Of Wales, Chappelle, one of the youngest long distance racers in France; Lumsden, the veteran Scotch racer, and a coterie of pacerS. The men will train in New York until the six day race, which will start Dec. 7 at Madison Square Garden, after which they will tom the country. The team is under the management of Edward Plinmer and contains some of the choicest racing talent of foreign countries. Linton holds the hour world’s record at present, as well as the world’s ten mile record, which was recently made in Lon- don. Tom Linton’s countryman, James Mi- chael, who is now in America, is one of his greatest rivals, and for some time there has been an effort made to match these two men. Michael is at present in the west, but is expected to arrive in New York in a few days, when the race will probably be arranged. Eddie A. McDufi‘ee, the famous Boston racer, returned on the same steamer after a brief European visit. He has challenged Monte Scott for a 25 mile race to take place this winter. GOTHAM’S MORGUE KEEPER. Suspended Because of the Alleged Myste- rious Disappearance of Corpses. NEW YORK, Nov. 30.——After spending 27 years in the service of the city as keeper of Gotham’s deadhouse, better known as the morgue, Albert M. White has been suspended by the charities commissioners. White is probably better known than any man in the employ of the city, occupy- ing a position which paid him the mod- erate salary of $60 a month, but notwith- standing which he has acquired the repu- tation of having accumulated a fortune 01 about $100,000. It has been whispered about Bellevue hospital for some time that the disposition of the city’s dead was not being made in a manner entirely satisfactory to Superin- tendent Murphy and the commissioners, and rumors of the mysterious disappear- ance of some bodies resulted in the com- missioners suspending White pending an investigation. White says that he courts and will in- sist upon a rigid investigation and adds that if he is dismissed by the commission- ers he will carry his case to the courts. Awaiting Annexation. CHICAGO, Nov. 30.——John S. Foster, ex- secrctary of state, arrived in Chicago yes- terday on his way to Washington from Honolulu. “The present Hawaiian ad- ministration is waiting for the inaugura- tion of President McKinley to make an- other effort to have the islands annexcc ,” said Mr. Foster. “ The islands were never in a more prosperous condition than at present. It is recognized that the ulti- mate fate Of the islands, if they are not annexed by the United States, will he an- nexation by some of the other great pow‘ ers.” , Kate Field’s Body Not Aboard. SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 30.—The steamer Australia, which arrived yesterday from Honolulu, did not bring, as expected, the remains of Miss Kate Field. It is said that the Hawaiian government prohibits ship- ment of corpses on passenger steamers.

Joseph- ine was divorced largely for this rea- son. Many women are incapable of bearing children. Many more of them are afflicted with disorders of the organs directly feminine so that bearing children would be danger- ous to them, and unfair to the children.

The Viceroy Petitioned the Emperor and He Might be Present at Her Death. The greatest of living Chinamen, the viceroy, Li Hung Chang, is a model son, according to Chinese ideas. Gen. John W. Foster, in a recent article gives some interesting extracts from the correspondence of the famous Li with the empress regents of China ’in 1882. Li’s mother, an old lady of eighty-three, was seriously ill, and he requested leave of absence to visit her, his petition, according to custom, be- ing written in the third person. “Memorialist has sent his son, Ching— tong, to Hupeh to wait on his mother with food and medicine in his stead, but a letter which he has just received informs him that she is afflicted with a continual cough, and cannot take food and drink in any quantity. She is old, and is breaking up; and the thought of her absent son continually recurs to . her, and makes her illness more dan- gerous. g “When memorialist heard this his heart burned with anxiety, and his sleep and his food were worthless to him. And since 'the day in the spring of 1870 when he bade her farewell, thirteen years ago, he has never seen his mother’s face. ' "A' man has a long lifetime, it is said, to spend in his country’s service, and but a short term Of years in which he can serve his parents; and now that the illness from which his mother. has long been suffering still continues unabated. memorialist all" night long tosses about in his trouble, and not for a single moment is his mind at rest. “This [a month’s leave] will enable him to make a, rapid journey to Wu- chang to visit his mother and to be a witness of her recovery, and to satisfy in some slight degree the feelings of affection which, as the jay ton its par- ent bird, he entertains for her. What bounds would then be set to his grati- tude for such signal kindness on the part of their majesties!” This petition the regents granted; but meanwhile news arrived of the old lady’s death, whereupon Li resigned all his offices and asked leave to retire for three years, according to custom, to mourn for her. AN IMPORTANT M ESSAGE. A Story from a Telegraph Operator Dur- ing the War. On the morning of April 3, 1865, the most important message that ever flashed along a wire came to the office at Washington. It was the news that Richmond had fallen, and that the War of the Rebellion was at an end. It seems that shortly after 9:30 in the morning the Washington and Cherry- stone operators along the line Of the Fortress Monroe and City Point wire were startled at what seenid a fool- ish demand from Fortress Monroe, “To turn down for Richmond, quick.” The signal for Richmond was an- swered promptly—never more prompt iy. Then came the question: “Do you get me well?", “I do; go ahead.” ' “All right. Here’s the first message. for four years.” The message was as follows: Richmond, Va, April 3, 1865. Hon. E. M. Stanton, Secretary of War. We entered Richmond at 8 o’clock this morning. Gr. WEITZEL. Brigadier-General Commanding. The operator who took this message was William E. Kettles, then fifteen years old. The story of that event is told in a little volume of telegraph tales by W. J. Johnson. Kettles said that he remembered starting up from his chair and upsetting inkstand and instrument, kicking over a tin that sat at the fireplace in order to make a noise; of rushing for General Eckert’s room, where sat President Lincoln and Mr. Tinker, the cipher clerk, talking in a low tone. As Kettles was about to hand the message to Tinker the President caught sight of the body of the words, and with one motion and two strides message and President dis- appeared out of sight on 'the way to Secretary Stanton’s room. In fifteen minutes later rumors of the fall of Richmond had been sent far and wide over the country—Detroit News—Trib- une. Gold in Nicarauga. Geologists and mineralogists are speculating on the gold deposits of Nicaragua. Mining has been carried on in Nic- ‘ aragua for centuries in a desultory manner. Nearly four centuries .. ago, directly after the Spanish freebooters under Cortez overran Central Ameri- ca, Spanish expeditions ascended the Wauko (or Segovia River) into the rich territory of Segovia, robbing and plundering the aboriginal or native mining settlements of that section, re- turning lad'é‘n with gold, so the legends g0- ’ There is, however, no historical data sufficiently reliable to follow.

The region in Northeastern Nicara- gua is a wilderness unoccupied by man, and neither the Nicaraguan Gov- ernment nor its citizens have even a vague conception of its great undevel- oped wealth in valuable minerals, metals, timber, and agricultural lands. “’hat Prevented Her.
