TUESDAY, ,OCTOBER 12, 1897. “Go it, Chicago.” 'A Chicago society of women is to study practical dressing by putting clothes on the. Venus de Milo, says the Commercial Advertiser. Chicago is rapidly becoming a force that makes for civilization. She has the wind of progress in the sails of energy. This last breath of inspiration will help the whole country along the path that leads to taste. A woman in New York the other day saw Cleo de Merode on ' _ the street. “How badly she dresses,” she said, “She is not a bit stylish; she is only aesthetic.” Go it, Chicago.’ The future is yours. AA¥ A New Kind of a Strike. That is a somewhat queer proceeding of the Window Glass Workers’ Union, of Wilmington, which insists that a manufacturing company, which pays its blowers and gatherers more wages than the schedule of the union pro- vides, shall lower them in order to con- form with, the schedule. In other words, if the employers shall not lop off $5 to $6 a week from the wages of these men, the union will order a strike. A strike to force a reduction of wages is something new in the cate- gory of labor troubles. Ordinarily a union is willing to allow its members ’ to get all the pay the employers are willing to give them; but in this case the union of the glass workers does not 'intend to let anybody in the business have more pay without its consent. .7 .. 4- A A; Of Course They Failed. It is extremely gratifying that the Chicago anarchists failed utterly in their attempt to secure the indorse- ment of union labor in their commem- oration ofthe execution of their patrom saints, the Hay-market murderers Perhaps there is no harm in letting these fanatics do honor, if honor it may be called, to the men whose mur- derous theories and deeds commend them to all followers of the red flag, but it would have been an everlasting disgrace for the honest, law-abiding labor unionists of Chicago to join in such a demonstration. All honor to them for repudiating anarchy so em- phatically. A ‘ ‘v. 7 Finding Jobs for Grover. Whenever newspapers are idle for the want of weft they start some new , rumor about Grover Cleveland, just as a learned Bishop ofa dissenting church informed a graduating seminary class that whenever in the pulpit they were short of a topic, it was always safe to pitch into the Pope, says the Chicago Dispatch. One johrnal has Mr. Cleve- land preparing to enter New Jersey pplitics for the purpose of procuring a seat from New Jersey in the Senate of the -U,nit!d States. Another sets him seeking a place in the Court of. Errors and Appeals in the vacancy created by the death of William L. Davis. Meantime, Grlover Cleveland either saws wood or catches fish, and, tending to, his own business, what- ever it is, is. undisturbed by the quid- nuncs whoknow more about his alfairs that he himself. knows. ‘ A-‘ ‘ r The llliterates Must Be Schooled. The people of Connecticut voted Monday upon a. proposed amendment to the constitution of their State, which reads: “Every personzshall be able to re 1d intheEnglishlanguage any article of the constitution or any section of the statutes of this State before being ad- mitted an elector. It is believed the amendment wascarried. All the States 1’ arefast falling into line, with educa— tion: as ,a test of citizenship, says the . Lewiston. J ournal; Illiteracy is the him of all nations, but of republics es- pecially. ’ If we rule out illiteracy im- migrants and forbid illiterate citizens, weshall be in a_ fair way to run down . the political bosswhose power is based ‘ on the illiterate ballot. If it be urged that the i lliterates most need protec- tion, we concur but they will be pro- tected, best, by the quickened conscious- ness of the penalities ~of illiteracy, which” ,wi11,tend to arrest illiteracy,- rumor ‘ i and by the promotion of general educa- tion and social compunction ’in the great body of citizens. ‘A‘ V FEMININE CHAT. 3" There is no trouble so hard to bear as one that we cannot tell. Bicycle races have become a great fad with the up-to-date woman. The woman who writes any sort of an essay without chewing off the end of her pén-holder is a wonder. ‘ You can never convince a man that he is first in your affections when you are lunching with his rival. The new buttons are veritable gems, some of them costing as much as a fine. brooch. . _ Happy, happy woman who can wear a pompadour hat without looking like .an ostrich in a cyclone. Business men declare that they dis- like having dealings with women and ministers. There is one thing a woman never forgets nor forgives in a man, and that is his failure to keep an engagement with her. ' A man feels very well acquainted with a woman when,he takes the lib- erty of telling her she has on too much powder. The dearest, in every sense of the word, little powder puffs and boxes are now added to my lady’s Chatelaine or- naments. The expected one who fails to appear never realizes how important he is for a little while in the eyes of the woman who watches and waits for him. The satisfaction in possessing a lot of receipted bills, is far greater than in having a pocketful of money which rightfully belongs to some one else. The new sleeve links are infinitely prettier than any shown recently, the employment of colored jewels enhanc- ing greatly their artistic appearance. Nine out of every ten women declare that in the business relations of life, with a man to dealing with one of their own sex. A ‘ New \Vuy to Light Matches. A profitable noonday pastime among thegamins who frequent the vicinity of the Reading Terminal never fails to draw a large and interested, crowd, says theT'Philadelphia Press.‘ One of. the boys will lay ten matches in an even row :on the hard: asphalt.” The heads of the matches all point the same way and the matches are about an inch apart. .Then the youngster swings a cord on the end of which is fastened a piece of lead. Swinging the cord rapidly, he han- dles it so deftly that he hits at will the head of each match and sets it blaz- ing. He makes an agreement with the crowd that if he succeeds in igniting in this manner each of" the ten matches without missing he is to have ten cents. Usually, the business men who watch the performance are so well pleaced that the gamin getscon- siderably more than a dime for his trouble and skill. . ' The Wrong Man. “Hold on, gentlemen, before you ad- journ; I notice that you elected Char- lotte Corday as an honorary member In this evenin . “That’s all right, ain’t it! as killed a man.” “Yep, it’s all right that far. But th’ man she killed'was the biggest Anar- chist in all France.” . “Sho! you don’t say! Gentlemen, I move that Mrs. Corday’s name be stricken from the roll and thet we give her three groans.
