Composite Statue 1n. Anthropological
Building Shows. Many Defects.
The Anthropological building at the
world’s fair contains a composite statue
showing the average physical develop-
ment of six thousand American college
girls. The exposition has few single
exhibits ofngreater interest and in-
structiveness to thoughtful people,
says the ,New York Press.
posite figure should receive the careful
,attention of every father and mother
who visits the fair. '
For the statue shows many serious
defects; faults which cannot fail to
have a serious effect on the health of
American women-and the vigor and
Symmetry of their children. The pose
_of the figure is incorrect, showing that
the great majority of the college girls
did not know how to do one of the .
simplest and most vital things' In the
VV';or1d to stand gracefully and nat-
urally erect. The chest is lamentably
thin and narrow.
small. In _ many. otherflrespects grave
physical imperfections exist.
The lesson which the statue enforces
should be heeded by parents and in-
structors and by young women them-
selves. 'Much‘-has been done in the
physical ‘culture, of 'American girls.
Much more remains to be done. The
American young women of the pres-
ent day are notably taller, stronger
and' more fully developed than their
grandmothers were at the same age.
They wall»: better, they spend more
time in the open air and they take a.
great deal of wholesome gymnastic or
calisthenic'exercise where their moth-
ers’ mothers took none at all.
All this is highly encouraging. But
the movement toward physical perfec-
tion which has auspiciously begun
should be vigorously carried forward.
The happiness Of' American girlsand
the welfare of generations yet to come
demand this. Harmonious physical
development means health, and health
means beauty, the enjoyment of life
and the ability to perform the duties of
life Without unnecessary hardship or
suffering.

TROUBLE AVERTED.
Atlantic Mill Operatives Agree to a
Temporary Reduction. -
PROVIDENCE, R. I., ,N'ov. 10'..—In ac-
cordance with the‘plan Which ‘Was under
consideration at the time the collapsing of
the floor of\_WOOds’ hall interrupted the
' meeting of the Atlantic mill opemtiv es on
Monday night, the 2,200 Operatives em~
ployed by the m.llS have decided to accede
temporarily to the cut- dow,n posted to go
into effect on Nov 17, and not to strike,
for the reason that the 'addition of so
large a number- to the 6,000 already on
strike, and va0 must be provided for,
would not only seriously cripple the work
of the supply and food committee, but
would give strength to the manufactur-
ers, who would then have every mill op-
erative in the Valley out of work, .a condi-
tion of afiuirs that would militate against
the success of the strike.
Chairman McGuy told the strikers that
a labor organization with plenty. of spare
capital had authorized the statement that
it would lend $10, 000 to the strikers on
the agreement that they would organize
by shops and agree to reimburse the or- ‘
ganization and pay 4 per cent; interest.

His Ships Crippled and His Ammuni-g '
tion Running Short—The Brazilian
Minister. at \Vashington Describes
the'Situation -Does Not Believe That
Bombarding Has Been Besumed.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 10,—Senor Men-
:dOnca, the Brazilian minister, does not
believe that Admiral Mello has again bom-
barded Rio Janeiro, although he has re-
ceived advices by way of London which
wOuld indicate that the rebel leader had
on yesterday poured a furiOus fusilade of
shot and Shell into the Brazilian capital.
The information, although unofficial,
came, the minister frankly states, from a
trustworthy source.
Mello’s‘Situation Desperate.
Admiral Mello’s situation' IS described by
His
ships are still in a badly crippled condition
as a result of their encounter a fortnight
ago with the government forts. He has
no communication with the main land.
He secures his supplies of food by running
alongside the small coasters which carry
produce to Rio and pa'yi'ng Ifor them'in
scrip. This scrip, the minister added, will
' haV'e tobe redeemed by the de facto gov-
ernment‘when the rebellion" is crushed,
which is another reason why it is desirable
to end the War as speedily as possible.
Moreover, Mello’s ammunition is becom-
ing rapidly exhausted.
His position in the harbor is such that
he cannot, under any circumstances, in-
flict damage upon any but the more iso-
lated and outlying parts of the capital.
The government buildings and great com-
mercial houses are out of lungs of his
guns.
Peixoto Holding His Own.
. The Peixoto government, Senor Men-
douca says, is holding its own. ’ The con-
gress, the army, the several state assem
blies and the people generally, from Rio
Grande to Para, are loyal to the president.
'lhe vessels fitting Out at New York are
expected to be of great service to President
Peixoto and theii arrival at Rio is
anxiously awaited.
Minister Mendonca ’s advices are that the
representatives of the Brazilian monarchist
party in Europe are disheartened at the
lack of responsiveness to their sentiments
among the people of Brazil. They had
expected a. great uprising as a consequence
of Mello’ s revolt and they do not conceal
their disappointment that it did not occur.
No Monarchiul Party in Brazil.
This declaration led the minister to add
that there is no Inonarchial party, as a
party. in the republic. A few malcontents
still indulge the hope of a restoration, but
their: number are insignificant and their
influence nil. .. -
Whatever, he says, may be the outcome
‘of the pending trOublc, the republic will
continue. Brazil has seen the last ofa
monarchy with the deportation of Dem
Pedro.- . . ,

And You Are After Money
” and Votes.
So Spoke 11. Tobacco Man to the Ways
and Means Committee 111 His Argu-
ment Against Increased Tax—éPoli-
lies to Be Tobacco Men's Weapon.
WASHINGTON, N011. l0. -—'“Y0u are after
two things, gentlemen: meney and votes.
This 1511 family affair and We can talk"
plainly about it. ”
So spoke Mr. J. S. Bison, of Danville,
V1,, 0110 of the tobacco men in his argu-
ment against an increase of the tax on -
manufactured tobacco before the commit-
tee on ways and means yesterday after-
noon. ' '
Eleven gentlemen representing the man-
ufacturers of tobacco were before the com-
mittee and argued at some length against
' any increase in the tax, upon the supposi-
tion, based, as they claim, upon newspaper
paragraphs, that such an increase was
contemplated.
Dr. Spence, of Cincinnati, who' Is a. large
manufacturer of tobacco, was the first
speaker. He made an elaborate argument
against an increase over the present tax of
six cents per pound. He also urged the
committee to repeal the provisions of the
law putting leaf tobacco on the free list.
1 Mr. Miller, of Danvillc, Va, worried the
committee that the subject of free leaf
tobacco was of vital importance to the
people of the Virginias, and the Carolinas,
as it was doing much damage to the to-
bacco industry in those states. The free
leaf law had, he thought, miscarried, and,
instead of the farmer getting any benefit
from it, the advantage went to the dealer.
In response to a question by Mr. Mont-
gomery, Mr. Miller denied that: free leaf-
tobacco extended the markets of the
groWer, and he did not know of a single
farmer in the state of Virginia and the
Carolinas who favored free leaf.
Then it was that Mr. Risou gave utter-
ance to the sentiment eitpressed above. He
discussed the question from a. political
standpoint, and made the positiveessertion
that if the tax. on manufactured tobacco
was increased, the result would be disas~
trons politically.
The money the committee wanted, to
which he referred, was, of course, the
revenue for the governments.- The} votes
were presumed to refer "'to' democratic
votes, but'Mr. Risou entered into- no ex-
planation. He did say, though, that the
farmers in that section of the country be-
_ licved an increase of the tax would ruin
them, and that if the commit tee decided
so to do, nothing would keep the growers
in the democratic party.

to know just how long Such a rumor had _
been heard, but before the' speaker Gould
reply some one said “since the election,”
and Mr. BiShop’ 3 answer was lost in a. .

phase of the discussion. The policy of the
democratic party had always, be said,
been' In the direction of reduced taxation.
Even McKinley advocated the abolition of
this tax, and he asked the cOmmittee not to
. go back on the party’s record by increasing
this tax. The country would reap large
revenues from low tax on tobacco, it ,vvas
impossible to judge by other cpuut‘ries
what the tax ShOuld be here.
