A period ot Introduction and handshaking
followed ns noon as the visitors reached the
platform , and It required some time to get
the party disentangled from the crowd and
into the carriages that were Waiting. When
this was accomplished , with two or
three Ornahans to each of the visitors ,
the drlvo about the city began. The route
covered took In the business center , Crblgh-
ton college , Capltolhlll , tlioWestOinaharcsi-
deneo district and Hanscom park , and ended
at the city hall , whcro In the council
chamber Mayor Bomls extended a cordial
welcome. Ho said that the people of Omaha
were always glad to welcome visitors from
the old world , and referred to a num
ber ot them who had concluded to remain
hero , and were now among the most substan
tial of her citizens. Ho spoke of the great
enterprises , at the head of which are Fred
Motz and William Krug , and of their outlay
hereof over $1,000,000 , as a sample of what
the German citizens of Omaha had done and
were doing. He expressed the hope that the
Visitors would again stop hero on tholr re
turn from the Pacific coast and see moro of
the city.
Axtnnlnlird nt Omnlia.
In replying to the mayor's welcome Mr. F.
Thlel said that he regretted that ho wus un-
nblo to express himself in English as ho
would like to do , but ho wanted to say that
although the party had heard much of
Omaha they htid been astonished at what
they had seen since their arrival. The mem
bers of the party appreciated the reception
that had been accorded them and the speaker
desired to return the thanks of all. Ho then
ppoko more fully in German along the same
lines.
That concluded the spcechmaking , and
the building was then inspected , after which
the party repaired to THE Bnn building ,
which was closely examined from basement
to roof by the visiting Journalists.
Mrs. L. Itaapkc , Mrs. .1. .P. Lund , Mrs.
George Hcimrod , Mrs. E. Schmeiser and
Mrs. Frank Lang assisted on the reception
committee , and looked after the only lady
journalist In the visiting party , Mrs. Bong ,
who was presented by Mrs. Schmeiser with
a beautiful nouquct of roses.
The visitors were all apparently very
much impressed as well as pleased by what
they saw. Dr. Schwartz remarked that
there was very much for Europe to learn In
this country , and was personally
greatly interested In the street car sys
tem. He was familiar with the electric
system , hut marveled much at the extent of
It , nnd the number of streets on which
tracks wcro laid and cars run. Ho declared
that he tiad never seen such a network of
street railway tracks before and could not
understand how there could bo sulllclcnt
travel over all of them to make the Invest
ment profitable. Dr. Schwartz is conduct
ing a persotml Investigation of thoconduct of
national nnd state affairs on this side of the
water , and is ciso In search of information
on the prohibition question.
Iiiinuli lit the Oormnn Clnh ,
As soon ns the party finished Its sightseeing
ing the tffarlsts were taken to the parlors of
the German ciub nt Germania hall , whcro a
sumptuous luncheon bad been propareu.
The rooms nnd tables were tastefully decor
ated with ( lower blooms and plants. After
an oxcharpo of pleasantries the guests took
their scats und did justice to the good things
provided. Mayor Bomls sat at the head of
one of the tables and President Peyeko pre
sided over the other. Members of the city
council , the club members and the ladles of
the rcceptlcn committee , Hon. E. Hosowator ,
Messrs. E. Schmeiser and Frederick Schnako
had been invited to participate and were
present.
The noonday meal over. President Poycko
In a few words Invited the guests to make
room in their traveling bag for u little token
which contained views of Omaha. These ,
ho said , wcro accompanied by the best
wishes of the Gorman club and Omaha clti-
ions In general for the fuluro welfare of the
guests.
j. Secretary Julius Loowy nf the Interna
tional Press club responded to this In a
happy speech , wherein ho said that tholr
mission to this country , and especially to
the west , was to transcribe for the readers
of their European journals tholr observa
tions and Impressions of the United States.
Ho proposed a toast to Omaha , Mayor Bcmls ,
the Gorman club and the ladles who wcro
present.
I''cllow Countryman of Koisiith ,
Eugen von Koolbcr of Buda-Pesth said
that now tholr original idea of reaching the
wild west , after leaving Chicago , had given
way to trio correct Impression that Omaha
was the tiji liable garden spot of thU coun
try , nnd that they would go homo and toll
their ror.-1-ra of this unsuspected fact.

aid that they had seen and learned much

Ho could assure his hearers that a correct

CiiKiriirrox COI.I.F.OE , May 27. To the Pub
lic : I feel that my sincere and grateful
thanks are duo to the city of Omaha for the
handsome and generous manner In which
they aided mo , both by their presence and
applause , in my feeble efforts to expose the
machinations of nefarious men who have
sought to interfere with the peace aud wel
fare of their fair city.
To his honor the mayor and the splendid
committee that graced the stage I ewe es
pecial thanks for approving by their pres
ence the sound principle of Americanism
laid down In all our constitutions that the
sncrcd interests of religion should not bo
dragged down into the maelstrom of i > olitics.
On those who have dared to degrade
what they pretend to bold sacred bo the
responsibility of what to them Is the most
excruciating as to us it istbomostdollghtful
thing on earth , the further spread of the
spirit of fair , candid und open discussion ,
oven into the deep and dark recesses of this
remote border. In the cast they command
no hearing. Soon they will uiovo further
west , until they vlo with the roar of moun
tain torrents In tholr sweet voiced efforts to
make obstreperous protest against Undo
Sam's right to say a little about the way his
ranch should DO run. They may ro-
Jolco in the fact that they will
have an endless opportunity to- make
still louder protest against a yet meeker
Master. For my part , I feel like Ilowona
when rescued by the Lion Heart. She mot
Do Bracy and heard his plea for pardon :
"As a Christian I forgive you , " said the
lady. ' 'That means she doesn't forgive him
at all , " laughingly said the clownl AVhen
the Master drove the rabies out of the
Gadarcuo lie was content to have him sit at
his foot , clothed and in his right mind. I
thank them for applauding the jokes that
pointed out their folly. They could not couio
nearer to repentance than this. I know that
they were Defrayed into this evidence of
sanity by human respect and the power of a
splendid assemblage.

AUUOUA , III. , May 23. To the Editor of
THE BEE : The people of Illinois and adjoin
ing states are rising up in indignant protest
against tbo proposed broncho race from
Chadron , Nob. , to the World's fair. The
shameful long-distance European race of last
year , from Berlin to Vienna , is still fresh In
the minds of bumano Americans and wo are
begging all the powers that bo to prevent
this one , if possible.
The fact that this race will bo longer , pro
ducing more suffering to the animals , and
probably moro cruel abuse of them , seems to
us a disgrace to the American nation that
should not bo tolerated. Occurring , as it is
proposed , during probably the severe heat of
the latter part of Juno the Inevitable suffer
ing of the poor bronchos presents n specta
cle which should move to pity tbo heart of
every person who has not been hewn from
udnmant.
Are the citizen1) of Nebraska going to tolerate
erate this foul blot upon the fair fame of
tholr admired and progressive state ? They
have a creditable building at the fair , and
nn exhibit indicating culture , industry ,
thrift and intelligence to a rare degree.
Queen Victoria , in a message to the Itoyal
Society for the fPrevcntlon of Cruelty to
Animals , wrote , "No civilization Is complete
which docs not take the lower animals Into
the sphere of charity and mercy. "
The f.ict that animals nro in the power of
men should maUo men considerate of their
needs nnd pains , for It Is only cowards who
abuse and destroy that which has no power
to cope with them. The barbarism which
demanded suffering as its pastime might
have been oxcuiablo In the dark ages ,
but now when thcro Is so much
to lead men to worthier lines
of thought It Is pitiable that they cannot bo
nmuscd and prolitcd by something not allied
to the torture of dumb animals , Wo hope
TUB Bur. nnd all other papers having at
heart the honor of their state will hasten to
enter such a protest against this long-dls-
tanco race ns shall discourage the cowboys
from starting. Even If they do start It Is
not unlikely they will bo prohibited from en
tering the state of Illinois , or arrested upon
their entrance over the lino. Anti-cruelty
people everywhere uro appealing to the
Illinois Humana society , which has jurisdic
tion all over the state , mid as our laws are
essentially for the protection of those poor
creatures who cannot speak for themselves ,
the broncho riders would do well to pause u
long time before starting.
In lieu of thu broncho race I would sug
gest that the "boys" make the Journey on
foot and bo awarded the same prize hold out
to the riders. Older men , probably , than
any of them are Journeying in this manner
to the great exposition , and only ask for the
reward of viewing the woudors to bo soon
there. Hospcctfully yours ,

JOURNEYING FROM JAPANV
Miss Yoihi Karijo Stops OfT at Omaha
Enrouto to Mount Holjoko.
OPINIONS ON AMERICA AND AMERICANS
Little I.nily from Chrjmnnthnmun
Doesn't Like to Wear Shoos Here to
Pit Herself for Toachlntj In Her
Own Country.
A bright Ilttlo maid , from Japau. In this
case , a bright Ilttlo maid for school. She
has been in Omaha for the past day or two
the guest with Missionary F. N. 'Vyhlto' and
Mrs. White , of Mr. and Mrs. T. A , DAWOs on
South Twenty-sixth street. Her name is
Miss Yoshi Karijo and she Is on. her way to
enter on a throe years' course at Mount Hoi-
yoke seminary , Massachusetts , to lit herself
to assume the duties of A teacher ia'nn acad
emy or college In Japan.
When TUB Bnc representative called to
see her , Miss Yoshi WAS found attired in
a regulation American suit of gray serge
made with a plain skirt and basque with n
pointed girdle. The lady is a very pro-
iwsscsslng , bright little woman of wide in
formation and speaks English in the most
delightful manner. She Is very modest and
retiring , but as she is so obliging , she soon
made an effort to lay nsldo all differences
nnd conversed on general topics vlth the
most fascinating candor. This Is In sub
stance what she said during the interview :
"It Is just ono month today since wo
sailed from "Yokolniia. and the trip
was n long ouo for mo , as I never traveled
very much , I were my own dross , as wo do
at home , on board the stoamcr and bought
this ono In San Francisco. It Is very un
comfortable , and I do not llko It very well
and wish I could dross as we do in
Japan , but the board who are sending mo to
Mount Holyoke to bo educated forbid mo to
wear any but American clothes , and you
know , as the styles do not change with us ,
when I return homo after the three years
ara up my clothes will bo all right and I can
wear them.
"I have boon thinking of coming to
America for many years , and have waited
long for the chance , and nt last it camo. I
teach at homo , have taught for about four
years. I teach English In the schools.
About seven years ago there was a great de
sire on the part of all Japanese ladles and
girls to learn English , but it did not last ,
and so great a number do not study English
now. But I thinic It will be taken up again
soon , as I believe it is a fact that English
will soon be spoken by every country on the
earth , and will bo taught everywhere In ad
dition to the native language. It is an eahy
language to learn , at least I had no trouble
learnlnff It.
"I think the American shoes are espec
ially uncomfortable , but I suppose when I
get used to them it will bo better. Of
course , if you wish it I will show you our
Japanese dress. "
Jnpnnoo Continue.
Miss Kajiro then excused herself with her
graceful little courtesy and cordial smllo
and retired. After a short time she returned -
turned clad In the roboof the Japanese lady.
It was of line silk made with long deep
sleeves , ono corner of which are sewed up to
bo used as pockets. The dress is rnaUo with
a low neck and lllled in with silk of a differ
ent color , cream color in this instance. The
robe Itself is of striped gray silk with line
stripes of rod and heliotrope. Around her
waist was wound a scarf of the most beauti
ful colors and texture and with embroidery
which would make any woman green with
envy. Her feet wcro clad in a sort of hose ,
with a separate compartment for thagreat
toe , made of white cotton cloth. When the
ladies go on the street they wear the wooden
shoes , or "gotas , " with which all are famil
iar. As those shoes are-about three inches
high the dress is thus kept from contact
with the street and is never soiled at the
bottom. In winter they wear one dress over
another until they are sufllclently protected
from the cold.
"Of course , " said the Ilttlo lady , "tho
very rich ladies have much finer dresses
than this , made of crepe and the finest silk.
It Is very easy to know the ago of a woman
by her dress. The Ilttlo children dress in
the brightest shades of red and nil polors ,
and as a woman grows older she lays aside
bright colors , and by the time a woman is
full grown she dresses In gray or some dark
color. Wo have this wrap of black silk ,
which wo wear on the street sometimes. It
is made almost like the dress , with the same
deep slcrffcs. It costs about 10 or 12 cents of
American money to hire a robe made like
the ono I have on , but wo do not have so
much money as you do. I get about $10 or
$12 a month for teaching school.
Annoyed by Amoilcan Curiosity.
"I do not think the Americans are very
polite sometimes. When I went out shop
ping In S.in Francisco I were my dress as I
have it now , and they came and examined it
very closely , even asked mo about the strings
with which it is fastened you know we do
not use pins as you do. but fasten , everything
with strings or ribbons. Another thing I do
not like. 1 notice so many people eating all
sorts of things on the streets. I do not think
that is nice. To oat on the street ! Why ,
only the very lowest class In
Japan would do such a thing , and
they would bo ashamed of it. But
we admire the American women. Wo wish
wo were more llko them. Wo are Improving ,
though. Wo have a great many magazines
now devoted entirely to women , and all the
ladles of high station take the magazines
and they all read them. Wo have ouo maga
zine which Is edited by a woman , and ono in
which nearly all the work Is done by women.
A great many girls In my school ( Oh , yes.
The boys and girls are always in separate
schools , are anxious to Improve and study
the scicnc.cs , but their parents object und
think if they learn how to read and study
the arrangement of llowcrs and got married
when they arrive at the age of about seven
teen , it is all that is necessary. This is
especially true of parents who have not
accepted Christianity.
"If a girl does not get married almost the
only way she has of making a living is by
sowing. All the embroidery which you
American ladies admlro so much is done by
the lower classes , or servants. A lady
of high standing never sows or has any em
ployment whatever. She roads novels or
plays on an instrument with strings , something -
thing like a piano , or arranges llowcrs. "Wo
teach ( lower arrangement as a science or"art
in our schools , and it takes many years for a
student to finish this branch. The ladles
have what wo call 'ceremonial teas' ' and
'llowor ( arrangements' lor social pleasures ,
to which they Invite their friends , and this
Is the extent of 'society' ' among the better
class. "
At a "Ceremonial Ton. "
"The ceremonial teas are very tiresome ,
Yes , wo always sit on the lloor with our feet
folded under us , and when we accept a cup
of tea wo must timko a bow , or n great many
bows , and it is all very slow nnd tlrcsomo.
Wo make our bows by placing our hands.on
the lloor with the palms downward and the
thumbs together , and must bow so Jew that
our noses touch our hands , as we are seated
round the cloth on which the tea is served.
I hope you have a Society of Christian En
deavor In Omaha , as wo will remain hero
over Sunday , nnd I should Uko to attend tbo
society , of which 1 ain a member. Qur
society at homo has thirty members and is
very interesting.
"Oh , yes , I expect to get Tory hoineslek ; ,
in fact , I have been homesick already , whiloi
on board the steamer , and In San Francisco. ,
and especially when wo landed , the band
played "Homo , Sweet Home , " and that
touched mo and roado mo wish i was back in
Japan , but I intend to work hard for the
thrco years I am hero and not tniuk about it
any moro than I can help , and when the
three years are ur > and I go back and'begin
my work of teaching English in the 'schools
1 will be very happy. I wish I could begin
school right away , but will have to wait
until the 1st of September.
"I thluk i will visit the World's fair for a
few days as wo go on to Chicago Monday ,
and will bo there for several days. I must
.show you a nlco piece of work done by a
Japanese. This is a luiulaturo god such as
the Japanese worship and , as 'you se , it is
carved out of a grain of rice , with the hull of
the grain for a sort of covering for the god.
Of course the carving Is very fine and must
bo done with magnifying glasses. Such
I i
work is common nnd nattrtng Is too mlnuto
or Intricate for our workmen to undertake
"Yes , I may return tbjiOmnha omotlmo
while 1 am in this country nnd will bo
pleased to eo vou If IJo. . I have done
nothing ' for which you snrmld thank mo , and
{ It 1 hnvo ald anything of ( interest to Omaha

Mr. Francis , who Just returned from Chi-
: is thinking of-the the
ago , policy Burling-
onwould pursue In the event the Santa Fo
tut in the rate of S17.50 from Kansas City
on Monday.l'Wo "shall not meet the rate
rom Omaha until U is pretty well settled
hat the rate from Kansas City Is liable to
bo permanent. The Burlington will not per
mit an Omaha man to pay more to go to
the World's fair than the Kansas City man
lays. That much you may depend upon.
) ut there Is no certainty that the rate an-
lounccd will bo permanent , and wo do not
propose reducing the rate and then have to
cstoro it insldo of n week. We shall ,
.hcroforc , keep out of the fight until thcro
"s some indication that the rate is to bo
nado permanent. "
Mr. E. L. Lomax when asked about the
situation said that it was decidedly chaotic.
'The Santo Fo of course will put in the
rates announced on Monday , and Just as soon
as wo know they are effective our rates will
jo raised from § 30 from Colorado common
mints to $37.50 to accord with the Santo
PC'S. This rate so far as the Union Pacific
s concerned will bo made permanent , bo-
icving as I do that tbo $49 rate Is outrage
ously high. " It Is a fact that notwlthstand-
"ng the low rates from Colorado points wo
mvo not averaged thirty tickets a day ,
which shows that travel is by no means
what It should bo. The Santo Fo's position
ihat rates nro too high is not controvcrtiblc.
1 hey have shown the wisest conservatism
in offering their compromise rate , such able
r.illioul : men ns Mat-veil Hughitt agreeing
lhat it was tbo best compromise that could
bo made and ho urged its adoption. But the
Hook Island awl Burlington were
dead sot against the rate nnd
voted acalnst it with the result
that endless turmoil and confusion
have resulted. However , I hope by the
middle of the week that something definite
will bo known as to what tbo r.ites are
likely to bo. Should they show any signs of
permanency , then the Union Paclllc , In
conjunction with the Northwestern , will
put in the $17.50 rato. Kansas City cannot
imvo any advantage over Omaha when It
comes to passenger rates.
"So far ns my information goes , the rates
ns announced by the Santa Fo will go Into
effect Monday. "
Itocurd on Low Kates.
X. f. 7 asks if there was "a round-trip
rate , excursion or otherwise , as low as
$1 for the round trip to any point in Cali
fornia from this city. " Inquiry at the rail
road ofllccs develops the fact that in 1885 , or
thereabouts , before the Interstate commerce
lav/ went Into effect , a rate of $3 was made
to California points , rateiiiito intermediate
points remaining the saintt JiThts Is the low
est rate over made from Omahu to tlio Pa

Superintendent of Plumbing R. L. Duncan ,

attend the next meeting "of the board and
participate In the proce8'llngs. Touching
upon the question of eviction of the squat

"I believe In living ahll let llvo. The

have resided in larger cltlos than Omaha
and have always found t/iat / the same class

Ills sheer nonsense , this' apprehension of
danger. I bollovo , however , that they
should be required to kcon'thoir ' premises in

detail eco of the sanitary Inspectors to go
through the colony every few days nnd re
quire them to clean op and keep clean. If
this is done I do not know of a better loca
tion for them , for they are of a class that
will not pay rent and will only settle In some
other portion of tbo city if disturbed , and
perhaps prove more of a nuisance there than
they do where they are. "

PECULIAR ' .VIRTUE , IN A VERTUGADIN
At the Court of Fninoui fraud ) the l'lr t

McAllister Approves the Mon-
trmlty ni Modest.
"Tho big-hooped crinoline now oclongs to
the domain of nrchiuology ; it Is an antique ,
llko panlors nnd the farthlngalo. " Thus
wrote a deluded mortal when the hoopsklrt
had made ono of Its periodical disappear
ances tb recuperate for future activities.
It was in 15)0 : ) , in the reign of Francis I of
Franco , that the ancestor of the hoopsklrt
made , Its ildbut in the world .of female
dress , under the name of vortugadln.
It camo. It saw , it conquered ; for it re
mained for iluO years , with various Intermis
sions , hwd' its return may bo expected at any
moment. Never has any institution had
such tireless nnd active opponents. Kings
have made laws against It ; priests have ex
erted their eloquence and authority
against 1,1 , ; satirists have exhausted
their powers of ridicule in hold-
nig It up to reprobation ; carica
turists hare used tholr talent unsparingly to
prodiieo its downfall , all without avail , for
the hoopsklrt grow and nourished. Charles
IX. , Henri III. and Henry IV. all Issued
edicts against the hoop , anil it still lived.
I-'Ucr in England , also , laws were made to
restrict Its size.
From Franco the vertugadln traveled to
England and found immense favor with "her
termagant majesty"tho razor-tongued Eliza-
both.who was remarkable for her vast farth
ingale ( the ICngllsh name ) , which descended
to her feet llko a great drum. The vortuga
dln also invaded Spain and found itself wel
comed by demure scnuritas and grim
duennas. The men , as usual , decried it , and
more edits .followed , out again to no pur
pose.
Crinolines , 1'nnnlors and Hustles.
And who can explain the popularity of this
monstrousQinventlon , which has been des
cribed throughout the years ot its existence
ly the most derogatory adjectives m the
auguoget It Is not useful nor graceful , nor
> rotiy , nor lu any way calculated to set off
cminino charms. The chief ncauty of a
vomau's llguro Is in the harmony and Just
iropirtlon of its parts. This , the hoop
kirt by Its size at once destroys , and renders
bo head , that masterpiece ; of the human
wdy , insignificant nnd moan. Not only tlio
isad but the whole upper part of the body
S dwarfed.
Panniers , also very popular in times past ,
ro a mere modification of the hoopsltirt ,
nd the same is true of the little wire cages
jailed bustles which have been gene only a
ow years. Compare pictures of the women
) f earlier days the Uallo-Komau period of
franoe , for instance witb these of lalo
dales during the First aud Second empires
md observe the difference. The most un-
iducated oyc will bo struck with the elegant
implicity and beautiful undulating folds of
he former , while the latter , now that time
has relegated them to the background ,
nppear like some absurd and ridiculous cari
cature. The Capetian costumes in the
L'cnth and Eleventh centuries are
.dmirable from an aesthetic poi.it
of view. In fact , until dis
tended petticoats , vertugadins , farthingales
md hoopskirts entered the domain of
voman's attire , thcro is no period which
does not show some beauty or other In the
irovalling mode of dress ; aud wherever it
approximated toward a Greek model , as
hose of the Gallo-Homan and Capetian cos-
umes do. , thcro is a costume worthy of
jraiso.
Fancy the Venus of Melos In a marhlo
'arthingalu or the Apollo Belvidere in a pair
> f trunk hose !
Men In Jlran-Stuitbd Trunks.
The dear "lords of creation" used to bo
.ust ad uncomfortable nnd look Just as ridlo-
ilous in their trunk hose as the women in
, hcir farthingales. An author of the time
"n describing them , calls them a kind of
'verdingalo breeches , " and goes on to
relate the story of a p.Ulant who
"laving torn his garment on a nail , in mak
ing a bow to some ladles lo t from it a great
quantity of the bran with which it bad been
stuffed.
Franco having given the farthingaio to
England , the latter generously returned the
compliment by giving it back in its changed
'orm as the parnnier. In 1790. at tbo court
of George III. , It was seen in its worst
, ) hase. Besides being spread out by the
irinollno , the gown was loaded with ribbons ,
cords and tassels. During the empire wo
men occupied thrco or four times the space
of men. In ITIiO , when it again conquered
Paris , it measured six feet in diameter , and
In 1855 its circumference was fully fifteen
feet.
feet.Yet
Yet bow many famous and beautiful
women have worn it or its prototype , the
wido-skirted gowns , held out by numberless
petticoats worn beneath. Mary of Bur
gundy , wife to Maximilian of Austria ; Eliza
beth of York-\vlfo of Henry VII , the Richmond
mend who Killed the third Richard of
cursed memory ; Anne Bullen , whoso ambi
tion cost her so dear ; Mi.ry Tudor , daughter
of Catherine of Arngon ; Elizabeth , Mary
Stuart , Jeanne of Austria , mother of Marie
do Medicis ; Christine of Sweden , Marie
Josephine , qwcn of Poland ; Helen Four-
mcnt , second wife of Rubens , und many
others whose portraits havi ! been painted by
Holbein , itubens , Abraham Bruyn , Joseph
Hamiran and others. Hogarth In his "Mar-
riugo a-Ia-Mode , " 1745 , has depicted the
hoop petticoat" with bis facile , satiric
touch.
Virtues of tlio Vortugiullu.
Yet there is really some good to bo re
corded of them. Marguerite do Valvis saved
ber husband , Henry of Nauarrc , from his
enemies by hiding him beneath her enor
mous vertugadln. In the same manner
LouUo do Montaynanl , wile of Francois
do Tressau , saved the life of her
cousin , the bravo Duo do Montmorency.
Om of its apologists says that It culti
vates womanly reserve "by keeping men at
n distance , " and now'comcs ' Ward McAllister
and calls It a modest dress ; It conceals the
Jlgure and thus ceases to shock the delicacy
of "elderly persons. "
When sumptuary edicts were In force
iigainst the offending vertugadin , n certain
widow was arrested for "wearing a hoop of
seditious size , " but was acquitted on declar
ing that it was her hips that wcro to blame ,
beln ? so very largo. Shakspcaro mentions
the farthingaio as If It were n common arti
cle of attire. Uhat masterpiece of rougory ,
SirSohn Falstaff , nattering Mrs. Ford , who
outwitted him BO cleverly , says : "Thou
wouldst. make an absolute courtier , and the
linn fixture of thy foot would
give an oxcollcnt motion to thy
gait In a semi-circled farthingale. "
In "Two Gentlemen of Verona , " the never-
to-be-forgotten Launce chides his talented
dog , Crab , because the latter did not show
sufilcient respect for the lady's farthingaio.
And so , In thu long history , the hoop-skirt
lias always triumphed. In spite of wars and
rumors of wan , it held its own serene and
circular sway. And if , as Is threatened , It
is once moro to come among us , there is noth
ing to do but to become reconciled and hope
that Us reign will bo short.
. Homo women , many in fact , will vow that
they will never wear it. This u a commenda
ble resolution , but lust give the hoop skirt a
fair show and it will come out victor. As
Patrick Henry says : "Thoro Is no way of
judging the future but by the past , " and so

Can a man accidentally commit tuicldet
That is the question that seemed to interest
the federal court and jury yesterday lu trial
of the case ot the late" Dr. Ilobblns of Lin
coln against the Traveler's Llfo Insurance
company , Dr , Robbing' hold an accident
policy issued by the above named company
and as the company refused to pay the
amount for which the policy was Issued to
the hpjrs , the administrator brought suit for
recovery. It was not denied In the evidence
produced , by ths plalutllT that the deceased
came to. his death "by a wound Inflicted In hU
throat bv his own hands , but it was main
tained aU'thowny through by tbo plaintiff
that the act of self-destruction was superin
duced by pain produced by an accidental
pUtol shot through the foot.
In bin closing argument to the Jury yester
day ! ex-Judge Field hold that if the
deceased ] took his own Hfo while suffering
great physical torture , not for the purpose of
ending his existence but simply ns a moans
of relieving himself from suffering , thu net
would not constitute suicide. Death under
such circumstances , ho hold , would bo noth
1n ing 1 moro nor less than the final results of the
accidental shooting and the insurance com-
mny would therefore bo held for tins amount
of the policy.
Mr. Offutt , on the other hand , hrld that
the death of Dr. Itobblus was n deliberately
planned sulcliln. Ho had carefully sharpened
the scalpel , and had selected an op'iortunlty
when no ono was about or in the room. He
also held that this was not the first attempt
of the deceased to shunio off his mortal coll.
On a former occasion ho had locked himself
In a room nnd taken n dosoof chloroform ,
but was discovered before the deadly drug
had tlmo to accomplish fatal results.

District Attorney Baker said that ho would
make an effort to clean up all of the criminal
business of the term within the next two

Mr. Baker Is of the opinion that Mr. Moshor

Colonel T. II. Stanton , chief paymaster of

to the Salt Lake Tribune :
EDITOR TmnoNE-In view of thn fact that I

C It Is my wish that this committee remain
strictly at tlu-lr homos or places of business ( If
limy have any ) during my .stay In the city.
That tlu-y refrain from meeting mo at the
depot ami from tendering mo the freedom of
tlmclty. That tlmy rust ruin tin-involves from
hilarious conduct , and that they leave mo to
tlio gonliil quietude of my own society. My
uxpcrlonco In the past with those who com

Klvo mo conlldonco In myself or thorn , and 1
Imvo no doslro to oncoiiraso them In romlcr-
1ns hospitalities which ono resrots moro tlmn
IIH enjoys.
I know that the duties Imposed upon this
cotnmltten nroonnrims , and doubtless there
will ho kicking , but I prefer they should do the
kicking ( If they are able to Uck ) after my de
parture. Sotnu of the legal members of thu
committee will object , iih.ii , that the require

the law. "unUMiiil , " nnd therefore should not
ho enforced. Hut "unusual" people need "un-

by trying It on this committee.
The honorable ox-mayor has susRcsted tome
mo that .1 smiill body of carefully HUlected
citizens inleht po-slblv bo found , who would
enjoy In giving mti the ploustironf tln-lr society
during my stay. Itnt my experience with tliti
"carefully soft-drd" citizen of Salt ljuku is
quite similar t < > that with the above commit
tee , and my preference Is to take no chances ,
unless a largo-sl/cd moral revival should oc
cur bofoio I arrive. Yours regretfully ,

In commenting upon this the Salt Lake
Tribune replied editorially as follows :
The nbuvo from thn headquarters of tbo
Army of the I'luttc will bo read with appro
priate sorrow In this city. The h-ttor , how
ever , will servo ono coed purpose. There are a
Hood many people hero who biivo feltinil the
tlmo that they could not afford to spend J3DO
to make n visit to tlio World's fair. These
people will now try to ascertain about tlio
tlmo of tlio coming of the paymaster , and they
will then think It genuine economy to visit
the fair even at an oxpenio of 81,000
ctich. It might just as well bo
said further that arrangements have
already boon made for the meutlnu of the pay
master nt the depot , not qullo on t > uch a .scale
as lie anticipates , but something .such as was
given tlioiiifaiitii In Now York on Krlilay. Tlio
ronimlttec will consist of thrco , and they will
bo In the full uniform of the Halt Lalco police ,
ind In as delicate a way ns possible tlio message
will bo convoyed to the distinguished arrival
Jiat thcro Is a building In the neighborhood of
: lie city hall where tin ) freedom of the city U
'rtMiuontly Rlvun to distinguished Kiicsts , es-
lecfally If they hail from Omaha , nnd where
: lie utmost quiet can bo secured. This will bo
lonoon tlio sujwobtlon of the colonel himself ,
Jiat "unusual people need unusual
treatment. " Whether there will bo any
reforms prior to the coining of the dis
tinguished KUCbtwtll bo doubtful , but If there
.s . anything In an o\amplo the chances uro
100 to ono that thorn will bo need of them 1m-
nedintely on tbo departure of tbo guest.
There was nn Impromptu mooting of proml-
lontcltl/ens yesterday to consider what wus
lost , to do under the clrciinislancos , anil whllo
no definite conclusion was reached there was a
universal hope expressed that with thu coming
if the expected guest It would bo found with
ilm very much its the Divlslonlsts here claim
In regard to thn situation , that tbo conditions
invo changed , and ono or two , more hardened
than the rest , volunteered the opinion that
they could not much chanio for the worso.
At tbo sumo tlmo thcro are ponplo hero who
iru really pleased with the prospector Colonel -
nol Stunlon coming and n'.aldns u IOIIK visit to
Salt Lako. That shows that the perversity of
the human heart la some cases gets to bo
chronic.

Scott * IIlitfT County Farmers It empiric °
Harvest from This Source.
GERINO , Neb. , May 27. [ Special to Tn
Bne. ] The people of ScotU Bluff county are
now busy irrigating their land for the com
ing harvest. Most of the crops are now In
the ground , and these who are located under
Irrigation ditches are using thn water ,
There are ten Irrigating cdltchcs in this
county that have water running Into them
this spring , also several above and below the
county along the North Platto. They range
from five to fifty miles in length. The nvcr
Is very high now and still raising , although
there has been no rain hero to speak of for
about eight months , and not over four inches
of snow last winter , still , the drouth don't
effect this locality much , as the farmers get
the benefit of the snow which fell In the
mountains of Wyoming. There is abundance
of water now In the river to till thrco times
the number of ditches to their full capacity
that are now constructed , The land that
will bo irrigated in this county this season
will be fully 50.000 acres.
The crops are wheat , oats , corn , grasses
and vegetables. Karmers can raise moro tote
to the aero in this country under Irrigation
than any country that depends on rainfall ,
The Farmers Canal company has completed
a new head gate this spring 135 feet in
width and is now furnishing water for the
first time to the farmers living along- that
ditch. The Castle Kock and Alliance and
Winter Creek companies ditches also have
put in now gates this spring. The Mitchell
Ditch company had some trouble with onoof
its Humes this spring , but now has It re
paired in good shape and water running.
Thn I awrenco canal has ono of Its storage
reservoirs about full of water , which makes
a lake covering nearly SOO acres , also con
siderable water in tbo largo reservoir , which
will cover about 400 acres fifteen foot In
depth when full.
The town of Goring ; , the county seat of
Scotts Bluff county , is enjoying quite a build
ing boom this spring , It has about doubled
In si/.o the last few months and has- good
proipccts of being as largo again as it is before
fore snow Hies again. The building of irri
gation dltchea is going to make a splendid
country of this and It will soon bo as well
developed as any In the state. Most of the
Improvements being made here are very sub
stantial for a new country.
