Governed by Women. Oskaloosn ( Kan. ) corrosponilonco Boston Advertiser : The Rood people of this beautiful little city are greatly amazed to find what a storm of Inquiry 1ms boon raised by their innocent nnd well-intended action in availing them selves of a state law granting women the right to vote nnd hold ofllco in cities in Kansas. A modest press dispatch announced the result , and then came n deluge of telegrams , re porters , letters , etc. Mary D. Lowman was elected mayor , Sarah E. Balsloy , linn null A. Morse , Emma K. Hamilton , Cnrrlo L.Johnson nnd Mittio Josephine Golden members of the council. They wore- elected in the interest of public improvement and law and order iu city affairs , and their majority was moro than two to ono , demonstrating that where the women will turn out and vote the hoodlum element , the rllT-rafl of politico where there bo such have seen their last victory In municipal elections in Kansas. The Indies nro cultured , intelligent wives nnd mothers , thorough represent atives of the community. Tlio notoriety gained by the first of their sex called to such duties was entirely unexpected and unsought , and their final acquies cence in the demands for information comes from a determination to shirk nothing that may devolve upon them in n. logitinmto'way. Mrs. Lowman is the wife of a former register of deeds of this county , is the mother of two children , a native of Pennsylvania , aged 49 ; a Presbyterian nnd u republican , ns is her husband. Mrs. Balaloy Is the wife of a lending physician , a native of Ohio , aged , ' ! G ; is v Methodist and a democrat , her hus band being n ropnblicnn. Mrs. Morse was born in England in 18-13 ; she is a democrat like her hus band and a Methodist , unlike him. She is the mother of ono son and the grandmother of nn Infant girl. Mr. Morse is n , prominent attorney. Mrs. Hamilton is a native of Tippo- canoe county , Ind. , aged 39 ; a zealous member of the Methodist Episcopal church and a republican , as is her hus band , who is a member of the Blue Rib bon real estate llrm. She is the mother of five children. Mrs. Johnson is the wife of the cash ier of the Oskaloosa bank and has been u mother ; is the youngest of the olllci- ils bo ng aged twenty-three , and was born in this city. She is of u democrat ic family , her husband being an active republican. Religiously she is an Episcopalian. Mrs. Golden was born in Missouri thirty-one years since. She is the wife of a mechanic and the mother of two bright little ones. She is of a repub lican family , her husband a democrat ; religiously a Methodist. All the ladies are strcng prohibitionists. This city is not a wild frontier town , but an old , well settled community , the county seat of Jefferson countyin north eastern Kansas , fortv-six miles from Kansas City , on the K. C. , W. & N. W. railroad , and twenty-eight miles from Topeka , the capital , and Leavcnworth being exactly the same distance from each , on the Leavcnworth branch of the Atchison railroad. The country is thickly settled with well to do farmers from all the states east nnd north of us. The people of the city are highly in telligent and make this experiment of woman's government advisedly , with full faith in the wisdom of the action. In a retired room yesterday the now olllcials took the oath of office in a body and enter upon their novel duties with a quiet determination to endeavor to show that woman's rule may bo for the best interests of the city at largo and for the welfare morally of the young men and youths , whoso * temptation from saloons will be largely decreased. Women nnd Perfumery. It is a pleasure to note that the indis criminate use of perfumes among mem bers of the fair sex is rapidly decreasing and that the woman who omplops triple extracts to sprinkle herself has become the exception rather than the rule. Llko everything else , perfumes may bo legitimate or not according to circum stances. Delicate odors , such as violet , helio trope or orris root , are always permissi ble , just ns patchouly and musk are al ways to bo shunned. In any event , per fume in the shape of a sachet powder is to bo preferred to liquid extracts , if wo except ono or two English preparations. This subtle , delightful scent was first used by the princess of Wales and later by Mrs. Langtry , until it finally became the rage. The chemist , meanwhile , 1ms made a fortune. A peculiar custom with fashionable women is to pour ono or two drops of perfume into their ears. Nobody nowadays over thinks of putting perfume on a handkerchief or rubbing it on one's hands. Laces , underwear , ribbons , note paporglovcs und nil small articles of dross are made fragrant by largo sachet bags that nro of a size cor responding to the bureau of dressing table drawers. These bags nro composed of silk nnd nro lined with raw cotton , upon which the powder is spread. This , in addition to a very moderate use of a faint sug gestive odor , such as the wood violet , for instance , is all in thowayof perfume that is allowable by really refined women. Parisian dressmakers have a way of sonding.porfumed gowns to their customers. A strange feature connected with thib fashion is the fact that the odor remains forever. A lady of this city having purchased a costume whoso every fold breathed the most do- liejous perfume , sent nn order to Paris for a sample of the scent employed. The dressmaker forwarded to her by express a small bottle of ordinary looking sachet powder. Accompanying it wan a bill to the amount of $40. The lady paid the money , but since then has generally inquired the price of things before or dering. A Fenmlo Authority on DORS. Boston special to the Now York World : A Yankee girl , Miss Anna H. Whitney , acted as judge of the St. Beit nard dogs on exhibition at the Now England Kennel club's fourth annual meet. She is about thirty years old and is the first American woman to fill such a position. For years Miss Whitney noy has boon a devoted admirer ol the noble dogs of the Hospice and a close student of the breed. In the winter of 1880-81 she spent several month in Ger many and Switzerland studying the St. Bernard. Visiting the llttlo town of Leonborg , she inspected Herr Estig'a kennels for the purpose of comparing his dogs ( the Leonborg ) with the thor ough St. Bernard. Iu Switzerland eho crossed twenty passes in order to aeo dogs amid their native shows , and was enabled to compare the St. Bernard of to-day with the portrait of bis progeni tor , the faithful friend of St. Bernard de Mentuoa , iu the chapel of the lory , where Miss Whltnor made a short stay. Also visiting some of the leading English kennels , this progressive Amer ican woman looked closolv at some of the finest dogs of the breed , among others Campion Bayard , at that time in full bloom. Probably her first work of importance and a step towards the establishment of the well-known Choquassot Kennels of Lancaster was when Miss Whitney se lected the thoroughbred St. Bernard , Brunhlldotho , pick of a litter bred from narcnls imported , from the kennels of Rev. J. C. Macdon yof England. Brun- hlldo is now in her eleventh year , nnd thus justified MisS.Whitney's early choice. She is thofunm , grand-dam , groat-grnnd-dam , and grcat-grcat- grnnd-dam of many first-prize winners on the bench. Her kennel has won first prize nt all the loading dog shows of the country. Miss Whitney ts not a lady of exten sive means , and her kennels lacks the elegant appointments to which other breeders owe so much , and she was re cently chosen president of the St. Ber nard Breeders' club of America , but declined , nnd was chosen vice-president instead. IVhl to House 1'ctn. Detroit Free Proas : Nellie Arthur had a spotted Indian pony for the apple of her eye. Mrs. Pierce was very fond of the black nag that her husband rode. Mrs. Monroe brought the first white rabbit to the national promises. Harriet Lane had a largo stag-hound that was presented her in England. "Dolly" Madison's particular pot was a fine saddle nag. At Montpclior she had a pot sheep. Mrs. Adams had a groaf goldfish and one of a bluish tint , sent her by a Now England sea captain. Mrs. Hayes had a magnificent im ported Japanese cat that was probonted to her by n naval olllcor. , Martha Washington's ' chief pet wns a beautiful green parrot. Mrs. Wash ington was iilbo very fond of a fallow door. door.Mrs. Mrs. Grant had a "strawberry roan" cow that was a huperb milker and bup- plled her table with milk and cream. Mrs. Bliss , President Taylor.'s daugh ter , who presided over the white house until .her father's death , had a splendid white owl. Miss Cleveland's pot while at the white house was a beautiful rose which she found in the conservatory and which now bears her name. An eagle occupied a cage at the man sion for a part of President Fillmoro's term , a gill from a political admirer , and the noble bird wns often fed by Mrs. Fillmoro. Mrs. Jackson never presided at the white house , but a largo black and white coon that had boon caught , when young and trained by one of her faith ful slaves had the run of the household. * - - * What She Told tlio Bur lnr. Washington Lotte r to the Now York Tribune : An amusing illustration of the strength of involuntary impulses was recently afforded , by the visit of burglars to the homo of a certain well known official of this city , who lives just outside of the district limits in the country. About 3 oJcloek in the morn ing ho and his wifohwero suddenly aroused by the appearance in their bed room of three maskedj men. Two of them stood at the headlof the bed , and with revolvers cocked and pointed at the temples of the bedCollows , ordered thorn to ho still and save their lives by so doing. They complied with the re quest , while the tfyirA ruffln began to explore the room. His" bull's-eye lantern being awkward ho look a candle from the bureau , and lighting it began to ransack close tsdrawcrs , boxes and bureaus in the room. While so engaged ho carelessly let the parafllno taper drop in swift succession hot drops all over the floor. The housewife , though bound to the pillow by the muzzle of a revolver , could not restrain her impulses , despite the blood-curdling threat of the bur glar st her side. She half arose in bed and cried out : "Shame on you , don't you see you are spoiling my carpet ? " An unintelligible grunt was the only answer. "Now look hero villian " , you , again crisd out the housewife , "I want you to stop spilling grease all over my car pet. " The startled thief , who could not have hoard her first command , turned around and mot her blazing eyes. "Yes , m'm ; I will do it. soon' as how can't take it with us'Tio wo , gently re marked. The scoundrels at the bedside only chuckled. At that moment an alarm clock sot up Its call for an early-rising servant up stairs. The thieves became suspicious at once. They snuffed out the candle and throw a big bag contain ing their plunder over their shoulders , closed the dror behind them and stole down the stairs , out of the front gate and decamped. And then it was that the good house wife fainted. A Mighty Female Nlim-od. Philadelphia News : While at Che- wola recently I mot Nancy MoKonzlo , a noted half-breed womanwho is known throughout the far northwest from Montana to Puget Sound. She lives in a log cabin in one of those little fertile valleys which abound in the mountain ous districts of Washington'territory on the Ohil-charl-a-mouso. Nancy , as she is familiarly known , is a largo-framed , tail woman , about sixty years of ago , who takes moro after her Indian mother than her Scotch father , who was an en listed man in the service of the Hudson Bay company. Notwithstanding her sex , she became a noted marksman and hunter , which characteristics distinguish her to this day. She was married young , as is the custom among Indians of her moth er's tribe , to a Scotchman , who , like her father , belonged to the Hudson Bay company , and , after buffeting with the tide \ of imigratlon which had begun to "plow across the Rookv mountains ana up from Califor nia , they settled in the valley where she now lives , alone and unfriended , save by the wandering bands of Indians , who never pass her cabin by , She is a widow , her husband , Patrlplc McKon- ale , having died of consumption a few years ago. Nancy may be seen evpry flay riding astride on her tougftpnwiso pony , driv ing her small band of horses and cattle to the ranges in the mountains or gal loping away down the worn Indian trail , followed by two powerfully knit and deep-voiced decrMioUiids , as eho goes out minting the deer along the moun tain eidoa , or the black bear in the swampg , She carries her old etylo Henry rifle on her shoulder nnd maln- tainshor reputation as a marksman. She always baa her moat houses well stored with venison , white nntlors , bearskins skins and other trophies supply the place of furalturo in her cabin. ' atade Tier Tired. New Yorh Tribune' ' On ono occasion Charles Dickena pamoup to tlio Into Mrs , Proctor tind invited ho * to bo present at ) an Qmatouv performance which hb children were arranging with thoiy friends ut his house in Tavlatock square. Her raply waai "Mr. Dickens , my charge of witnessing amateur the atricals Is Aye shillings , and , fire sb.il lings extra If lamo.xpoctcd to applaud. " Dickens looked vexed and turned on his heel. She did not go to the party nor was she expected. HONEY FOR TUB &AOIES , The best styles tire the most simple. Pink similes of. terra cottn are quite the The largest round lints are n perfect gar den of ilowers. French chnlllo polonaises nro draiicilovor skirts of nioiro. Simply trimmed English walking lints nro liked with street suits. Wlilto cloth Jackets will bo much used for extra wraps during the summer. Grasses of a vivid shndo of green make n stylish gnrnituro for blnck lace bonnets. Skirts nro growing wider but thh differ ence Is mndo entirely in the back widths. Tweed In big rliccln of light nnd dnrk blue is n fnvorilo tnutorlal for English tailors' suits. An old fashion revived Is that of decorat ing tulle dancing gowns with gold or silver spangles. Narrow tucks run by hand nro used as trimming for Rumi'icr dresses of thin nnd transparent material. Crcno Is ngaln in high favor ns n stuff for licadgcnr ; but bonnet or hat , It must bo self trimmed to he stylish. A St. Louis man wnnts n dtVorco bcemiso Ills wife snorus , whistles , s'.nolces nnd sweats. She evidently inada a mistake In being n woman. The number of wmncn who wnllc for exer cise regularly in New York Is Increasing so rapidly that the doctors nro beginning to complain. There Is n sort ofvar for ascendency wag ing between urtlllcial flowers mid ribbons. The limits of both have transgressed nil former bounds. Now blnck silk Jerscys.elaborntclybrnldcd , fastened with one button , nnd then round oft over u vest of whlto pilot cloth closed with hnmlsonio pcnrl buttons. Milan straw nnd French chip nro ngaln conspicuously fnshintmbloct ; \ Neapolitan iinU mixtures of various Ituicy braids hold them u very good second. Women's gowns nro much bettered In the manner of weight now that designer * hnvo bethought them to miiko drapery sli.iply by slightly looping n lengthened skirt. The new Suede glove in French gray tints , which nro imported to take the pluc < j of tan shndo3 , iu u generally finished on the backs with very narrow whlto stitching. The ilnest solitaire ear-rings in Washing ton , it Is statud , ui a those worn by the wife of n Virginia gentleman who mudo n foitune In tobacco. They nro line cut gems. The very latest idea for spring nnd hnlf season wi nps. is to cut them with fronts so long nnd cumblnus that the luckless wearer perforce holds them up when walking. Ten young women in New York have just sprung into notoriety by engaging In a public gum chewing match. The winner w.is n Miss Grimes , who chewed eighteen boxes. Says high authority concerning low bon nets : ' -Tiicy must ho spiky till the hair is lowered. A lint bonnet on high hair Is llko a postage stamp on the peak of Mont Bhiuc. " Crepe llsso parasols formed of a succession of tiny plaiting" ! have costly and 'beautiful handles set with semi-precious stones. They nro to bo can-led only on elegant dicss occa sions. Plain corsages are no longer popular. No matter how simple the skirt of a costume may ho the wulst much have vest , reveis , drapery or trimming of some sort in order to look stylish : Miss Virginia M. Hullyday , of Carroll.Md. , has boon grunted n patent for a bonnet-holder. Considering ttio size of the contemporary bonnet the holder is doubtless somewhat HUe n coal derrick. Mulching all parts of Jtho toilet Is again In fashion. Tlio best dressed women this spring liavo their dress , wrap , bonnet , gloves and parasol to match , and this mode is steadily gaining ground. Among the daintiest and most desirable of summer materials is the new mohair chullic , with almost the lustro and softness of China silk , nlong with the sauio graceful patterns and dclicato hues. The garland of crushed roses , either under or around the crown , is the favorite garni ture for summer wide hats , while many tur bans arc inuupioprintoly inado of roses veiled with laco. Tulle , net , lace , silk muslin , nil appear in now hats for driving ; und iilry ns they bo , me garnislied with thick ribbon , or shells of narrower lace and towering clusters of the softest ostrich tips. Feather fans of the Portia and Prince of Wales style In vogue , but to bo effective they must bo of good quality. Cheap imitations of these . fans uro plentiful and have a very tawdry appearance. A young lady at Hoyworth , 111. , has made u crazy quilt with , 35,063 pieces in it , and it's dollars to doughnuts thnther husband if she ever has ono will have to pin his coat-tails to Ills trousers for want of a single patch. For balls the newest thing is the flower gown , of which ono lately constructed had the skirts wholly of big red silk poppy petals , while another is made entirely of silken shamrociis. three shades paler than nature or the Emerald Isle. Now serges , snowing bars and blocks of rod , terra cottn suede , navy and gobelin blue , upon a cream whlto ground , will very largely tnko the place of the so-long worn plain cream , bptli for the entire crowns and in combination toilets. UasquoB are lavishly trimmed , nnd nro ex hibited in countless varieties. Volvotbasquos to bo worn with light skirts have a Pompa dour neck filled In with crepe , which also forms the puffed sleeve below the velvet ono vandyked nt the elbow. Bodices of thin material suitable for evening - ing toilets uro smocked front and back at the waist and shoulders. Another style is shirred on the shoulders , and ciosscs at the waist In surplice fashion , showing a V inser tion front und back made of tulle covered with pearl embroidery. For a school girl a gray and white striped diagonal cloth or a plain gray alapaca , is trimmed or bradod with white and has a cape to match. The braiding is carried in a long piece up the side of the front , over the shoul ders and down the back scams like brctcllcs. Peat-dyed homespun cloth is made Into ladies' nogllgco Jackets for traveling. This cloth is woven nnd dyed in the cottages of peasant women In Ireland und the Shetland isles , nnd Is nsarlv impervious to water. The jackets are close tilting at the back and loose In front , buttoned diagonally with quaint , horn buttons. t Some pretty dresses for children have a yoke on one sldo only ; the other Is fulled in from the shoulder to the waist , where It Is gathered In easy folds. Sleeves nro tucked from shoulder to elbow and plain to the wrist. The smocking Is sometimes done about five inches from the shoulder-scam nnd on the outsldo of the arm only , making what Is to all appearance a "cap" on the high-set sleeve , full where the outsldo seem would be , and plain on cither sldo. Tuscan , butlcrcup , primrose and daffodil are the leading colors in yellow this season , A now shade in pink is called Venus , nnd u now shade of red Khedlvo. In violets , the losy tint known as wisteria is the only fash ionable tint , the rage for the heliotrope shades having subsided. The newest greens are the ( esthetic , Florentine and bronze shades , with a pale shade in relief llko lllloul. or willow with ycjlow tints , clear , light Nile green , and also the dark moss , inyrtlo and cypress col ors. ors.Silkfinished Venetian veilings nro exceed ingly delicate and beautiful , and make attrac tive toilets for the summer season , The cor- eago of such dresses nro cut In V or medium square In the nock with a chcmlRetto of lace or crepe llsso set In. Much walercd ribbon is lavished upon the skirt , which has long plain draperies. These veilings come in main colors , also in imle-huod and neutral tints slrown with delicately colored buds and blossoms. They make protly and Inexpen sive toilets , quito dressy enough for any ordi nary occasion. A soclely lady may properly wear In the morning small ear-drops , ono bracelet , a neat brooch and almost invisible watch. For rid ing or driving put on screw ear-rings of diamond mend , pearl or torquoiso , nnd lot out several roofs of watch chain. For luncheon with friends and Jewelled hairpins and pendants in "car bobs. " And when in full canonicals. in dinner dress , wear her very handsomest long car-rings , her most dazzling finger rings. ana small but rich bracelets ; while for o ball or reception she can sport necklaces , rings and lockets without cad.
