WHISPERINGS OF THE WH RUNG WHEEL
Prrrry Onntu from the Hull I'lcM Tlio Itoil ,

Now Umpire nml Ilio tlnml
Sporty Uoiintl-Uii ,
I have nt last completed all arrangements
for my excursion to Minneapolis to see the
finish fight between Tommy Ryan and Mys
terious Billy Smith. The excursion will con-
nst ! of an extra Pullman to bo de'-oted ex
clusively to the comfort and pleasure of the
party which will go under my charge. Wo
will le.ivo here at G:3Q : on the evening of
July 25 and return July 27 , which makes
but two whole days out of the city , the fight
occurring on the night of July 20. Good
rates have been secured , and the trip entire
can be made for | 25 , but those wishing fuller
Information can obtain It by calling on or ad
dressing me at The Bee office.
Now , what about the flgt/t , anyway. Of
course you all think that Hyan will win In
n Jog. But once more I wish to caution you
against rashness. The road Tommy has to
travel Is a corduroy road , sure , and If he
Is laboring under the Impression that the
trip Is to be made over a pike or mac.t'la-
mlzcd highway he will find himself fearfully
and wonderfully mistaken. Smith Is a much
more powerful man than Hyan , and an In
dividual of marvelous endurance. He Is also
very clever , n cyclonic rusher , and hits like
n mule kicks. If he can get Tom to mix
early In the mill , belts him a few , and then
gets him to sprinting , he will whip him cer
tain. But If Tom resorts to his common
tactics , that of Jabbing and keeping out of
the way from the start , he will have Billy's
curls dangling from his belt before twenty
rounds have been rolled off.
I received the following brief note from
Tommy late last night , and It shows pretty
conclusively what he thinks and how he
feels :
LAKE MINNETONKA , Minn. , July 12.
My Dear Sandy : I am training at this lovely
spot for my smash at Billy Smith one week
from Thursday night next. I will end his
ambition for any more meetings , you can
, rest cock sure of that. I never was so strong
and never knew such perfect health , anil
what more can I ask ? Would like to see
you here a couple of days before the figlit ,
but suppose you are pretty busy Just now
with base ball , the strike and other matters.
Will expect you sure the night of the circus.
TOMMY HYAN.
I am also In receipt of the following from
Frank Cotharin , manager of the club :
TWIN CITY ATHLETIC CLUB. MINNE
APOLIS , Minn. , July 10. Friend Sandy : I
thought I would drop you a line , now that
Hyan Is here , and more fully explain the con
ditions of the Smith and Hyan go. The ar
ticles called for a twenty-round glove con
test or more , marquis of Queensberry rules
to govern , the winner to receive 50 per cent
of the gross gate receipts , and four-ounce
gloves are to be used. They are to weigh In
at 142 pounds at the ringside or forfeit $200
now deposited with the club. The referee Is
to bo chosen within ten days of the contest.
Jtyan Is In excellent shape and Is training at
Lake Mlnnctonka , being assisted by Jlmmlo
Murphy of Chicago , while Smith Is getting In
perfect shape under the handling of Tony
West , Joe Choylnskl being his trainer , at , our
club. Smith Is now under weight , while
Hyan Is within ono pound of It. The contest
Is the talk of the Twin Cities and I am
pleased to state both men are In good health
and happy ( other than personal feelings ) .
They certainly will not take out a marriage
license.
The weather here Is warm and so are the
business men and capitalists , doubtless the
eame In Omaha. With many thanks for past
considerations , believe me , your friend ,
F. A. COTHARIN.
P. S. TOmmy sends his best rVgards.
Write often and don't fall to send mo The
Boo regularly. I reserve a seat for you In
my box. F. A. C.
In speaking about the coming meeting of
these two men P. Jay Donahue says :
Tommy Is already In excellent condition ,
and he promises to be as fit as the traditional
fiddle when he enters the ring , and he also
promises to give Smith a merry going over.
It will be their third meeting and It ought
to be a decisive one. In six-round bouts
they have fought draws on two occasions ,
but as the coming affair Is to be twenty
rounds or more the probabilities are that one
or the other will be put to sleep. Ryan Is
generally conceded to be the cleverer man ,
but he has an aversion to having his beauty
spoiled and Is therefore apt to be overcautious
tious In the ring. Smith , however , also has
a sneaking regard for his own good looks ,
and so , as to the matter of personal bravery , ,
it Is pretty much of a stand-off. Smith ,
however , has a slight advantage In being
stronger than Hyan , and as ho is n rusher ,
he may get Tom on the run. If he does ,
he will probably land first money. Ryan's
cleverness has saved him before , however ,
and ho will depend on his skill and shifti
ness to carry him through In the coming
mill. Smith will probably be the favorite
In the betting , but sportsmen In the east
will prefer a victory for Hyan.
Corbett will .soon bo with us once more ,
Bay about the latter part of the month , and
If It were not for the fact that Jackson sails
for Europe about that time the average red
hot would feel pretty well satisfied that
something would shortly drop. But there Is
no good In nursing this delusion longer.
The homo of the bravo and land of the free
Is entirely too circumscribed for the occupancy
of these two gentlemen at the same time.
Ono or the other of them must bo on the con
tinent all the tlmo now , or they will lose
prestlgo and might get together and
tight. If It wasn't for thu fact that Jim Is
now coming home and Pete Is going to leave
us we would hardly know that such men
lived , let alone being the champion maulers
of the age. Corbett has been granted all
the peace and quietude he wanted for the
past month , In fact too much to suit hs !
egotistical Ideas of his own Importance , and
when ho lands you can expect to hear the re
port of his mouth from the Atlantic sea
board to the slope. He will shoot It off
regularly , systematically and voluminously
and the Black Mars might as well prepare
himself for n Cyclopean roast. Jim will
give him no peace with the ocean between
them and I expect , In fact know , that ho
will glvo him such a call as will make the
( porting world echo. It mustn't b ? Inferred
that I am Insinuating anything derogatory
to the courugo of either of these men. That
would bo silly In the face of their well es
tablished characters for bravery and game-
ness. I am only endeavoring to turn a calcium
light on the preposterousness of the situa
tion. Now that Jimmy Is coming back the
uuavo and debonnalr Parson Davlcs seems to
have forgotten that he Is yet a tenant of this
mundane sphere. Peter has als ) ceased to
bo Interviewed , the sporting chroniclers have
crawled Into Innocuous desuetude , and what Is
there left for us to do but think ? Is It be
cause Jim and Peter's actlng-up season hut
closed for the dog days , and they have no
further use for the press , or is It because one
or the other , or both , are tired and want to
rest before buckling up for the autumnal ad
vertising season ? 1 know what I think , but
I don't Intend to glva It away.
Despite thu adverse opinions of my es
teemed frlcmli , Colonel Hopkins and Tom
Tracey , I am Inclined to think that Bos
ton's black dwarf , Joe Walcott , Is plenty
hunk In the fighting realm these days , Ho
baa had three hard lights In as many
months , first with Tracey , then Harris and
a few nights ago with no less a personage
than Dick O'Brien , the Lewlston , Me. , man.
Ho did the whole three of 'em , and did 'cm
plenty , and there It now no ground for
claiming a fluke In any one of thu gos , lie
Is a top-notcher , pretty nearly good enough
for any man's money ,
Tracey wss considered a wonder , a man
who could whip Ryan , D.iwson , Williams ,
Smith or any of the welters , but the ebony
hued gladiator of the bean center of the
world Jolted the life out of him In thirteen
rounds , while It required but two to settle
his only conqueror , Mike Harris , ind twelve
to rutlr * O'Urlen , O'Urlen , It will bo re
call-d. is the tr n who was to anxious to
mc"U Tommy llyan or Billy Smith. The
champlnn'h p boo made a fearful buzz In
his cars , and he was ribbc-1 up to the acv-
cntti heaven by his moulded Boston ad
mirers. Not that they were not Justified
In tielr | efltee'tyi ( $ ( Dick , but they put him
to too tevere a te t without trying him out
several times on knots a little less tough
ttun Walcott. To bo sure he whipped our
own Billy Hcnnewy , but D'lly [ 5 ijj an ad
vanced stage of jiuglllstlc senility , and
punched In Billy Smith's face In a street
row , but that In about all. Still he Is strong ,
clever and resolute , and was rightfully re
garded as a worthy adversary for almost
man In hit class ,
"The battle was fought , " says an eastern
oracle. "Just as all battles must be when
O'Brien Is a principal. He Is nn aggressive
pugilist , and lugs from start to finish , and
usually does moat of his work at short
range. This style of going Just suits Wal
cott , and the result was n slugging match at
close quarters , with the white man sustain
ing the most damage. It was In the mixing
up game that Walcott'n experience stood
him In good stoufl. He almost Invariably so
mamicrd matters that when they fought to
the ropes or Into a corner O'Brien was
backed up to the ropes , and hence was at a
disadvantage. Again , Walcott showed his
superiority as a tactician by Inducing
O'Brien to start the fighting at the opening
of the rounds , and to rush matters until they
got to short-arm fighting In this way Dick
was led to fight himself out , until Walcntt
had him down to his weight , and the rest
was easy. Dick practically wilghcd no morn
than Joe at the end of the tenth round , al
though he started In a dozen pounds heavier ,
and he was very much lighter than tht
colored boxer when th ? twelfth round be-
can. Then it was that Joe went In. and
settled matters by sending Richard Into
dreamland.
"The battle was never really one-sided until
the last round , and It will be recorded as one
of the most hotly contested and most gamely
fought lights ever scon In Boston. O'Brien
proved to be one of the pluckiest pugilists
of recent times , and , while defeat was his
portion ho was by no means disgraced. He
had a slight advantage In height , and what
Is to my mind a doubtful advantage In
weight. They were about even In the matte
of reach , Walcott having abnormally long
arms. Joe was also In better condition than
the man from Maine , who believes ho fight
better when a trifle high In ficsh. In this
am sure ho Is wrong , and I believe he woult
have stayed the fifteen rounds If he liai
trained off seven more pounds. But he tloc
not btllovo In reducing until 'hard as nails ,
and he had flesh to spare when the mill ba
gan. Walcott , on the other hand , was as fl
as a fiddle and his condition and his head
work gained him the victory. "
Jimmy Lindsay of this city and Fletcher
Hobblns of Plattsmouth have been matched
Manager Hamilton of the Plattsmouth Ath
letlc club hangs up a purse of { 400 for the
contest , which Is to be twenty rounds or
more , according to the Ideas of the referee
The men are to weigh In twelve hours be
fore the fight at 111 pounds , and the contes
Is to como off the first week In August
Robblns Is a comparatively new aspirant for
fistic honors , and Is the man who made a
holy show out of George MUldleton a few
nights ago. He Is a determined looking fel
low and evidently knows considerable about
the milling game. Over In Streator a couple
of months ago he fought Mysterious Billy
Smith , and had much the best of the figln
up to the fourth round , when Smithy knocked
him out. While there are few men who
can whip Jimmy Lindsay at 141 pounds In
any kind of a fight , he evidently has a foe
worthy of his game In Fletch Hobblns. A
largo delegation will go down from Omaha to
see the contest , which will be refereed by
the writer , the selection of both men.
Frank Craig , the Harlem Coffee Cooler ,
and big Peter Maher meet at Boston tomor
row night , and a vicious chopping match is
forthcoming. The red hots of the Hub are
scrambling like frightened sheep to put their
stuff on the guzzling Galway at 7 to 5. They
seem to Imagine he has the fight already as
good as won , but they are hoidlng the Gow-
anus coon too cheap. Ho Is a puncher from
Punchersvllle , and will bo In It. rest assured.
However , the Irishman has every advantage
excepting that of condition , lie Is one ol
your mixed ale , whisky on the side , sort ol
bruiser , and any man as good as the Cooler
Is apt to do him.

At last Captain Abbott's redoubtable Chris
tian ball team Is to have a go at the Rourke
family , and a merry ono It will be. Captains
McVey and Abbott have agreed upon a series
of five games to bo played on the professional
team's off days , the first of which occurs to
morrow afternoon. An overwhelming crowd
Is already guaranteed , owing to the Intense
feeling that Is entertained by the followers
of the two factions. Ever since the season
opened It has been a mooted question In
certain circles as to the superiority of the
Y. M. C. A.'s or the Omahas. Some claim
ono way , others another , and there has long
been an ardent desire on the part of the
fans In general to have the matter decided.
Their wishes will bo gratified tomorrow
afternoon , and the two contlgents should be
the means of drawing out several thousand
people. As to the outcome of the battle , I
will let my readers conclude for themselves ,
but the Christian boys enter the conflict un
der a decided Jfandlcap , and should they be
defeated their'irlends will have no cause for
complaint. They will probably be disap
pointed , which Is only natural , but In their
disappointment there will bo no species of
disgrace. The game will bo called promptly
at 3:30. : .

Neck and Neck Into the I.ait Ilulf.
And what have the cranks to say of the
pennant chase this morning ? lon't It a
lolla bird , and do you remember Us mate for
closeness , gamencss and uncertainty ? Again
this morning finds four teams virtually , tied
for first place , three for second , but two
games behind the leaders , and the eighth
club , coming fast under whip and spur , Is
by no means out of the race. Both the
National and Western league races are lop
sided , ar. < l In no organization Is the keen ex
citement manifested that marks the strife
In the Western association. Neck and neck
the eight teams have rounded Into the last
half , and coming down to the stretch and
homo look out for a pace that Is liable to set
the fences on fire.

President D. E. Howe of the Western Baeo
Ball association wears a smile these days that
could go clear round the Dee building. Ho
Is not only pleased with the general condi
tion of his snug little organization , but Is ex
ceedingly Jubilant over purely local affairs.
Surely the Western association , Is the model
minor league body , not only of this season ,
but of all preceding seasons. There has
not been hitch or friction since the first ball
was pitched. Every one of the eight cltlts
Is making money , the teams are harmonious ,
the management happy , and the outlook all
seren ? . and for this condition of things no
man Is entitled to such credit as the able
president , David B. Rowe. *

The Ramblers Cycling club will take tholr

The promptness with which the authorities
nabbed the bicycle thief across the river Is
commendable.
The Northsldc Wheel club enjoyed n moon-
Hsbl ride end a "dip" ' at Like Manawa
Tnursdajr night.
Several members of the Tourists pedaled
out to Crescent City , la. , last Sunday and
returned before dinner.
Evening club runs seem to have fallen Into
disfavor with the local wheelmen. One club
has abandoned them altogether , and another
Is about to follow suit.
Henry E. Taggar , president of the Tourist
Wheelmen , has returned from u bicycle trip
to eastern Iowa. His sail worked to per
fection and proved a great aid on the trip ,
nouncemcnt that until July 26 no Initiation
fee will be charged. Application blanks may
be had by addressing A. L. Angell , secre
tary , 22IS Maple street. All unattached
whelmctl are cordially Invited to Join.
The next great cycling event to Interest
the wheelmen Is the Washington-Denver re
lay ride. The time draws nigh and the
relay men anxiously await the summons to
spring Into the saddle. Last Sunday relay
men were rehearsing their relays all over
the route.
The Bearings has been devoting several
pages each week to the publication of photo
engravings of prominent Chicago wheel-
women and short sketches relative to their
costume. The Chicago ladles have almost
to a woman adopted the national
blocmcr costume.
The Ganymedq Wheel club of Council
Bluffs Is "red-hot" for a race meet and
have taken steps to hold one at Union Driv
ing park during the month If possible. They
are assured of the patronage of the Omaha
cyclists. There Is no reason why the meet
should not be a success.
The Sioux City club has been called upon
to surrender Arthur Twlneham to St. Louis.
That catcher was simply farmed out to the
Cyoxes by the Browns , and Chris Von der
Ahe Is preparing to kill the fatted calf when
he returns. Times-Star. The big catcher
passed through this city en route for St.
Louis last Thursday.
The Omaha Wheel club Is recruiting Its
ranks , and now has some of the speediest
local men on Its membership rolls. Condon ,
Plxlev and Potter are hard men to beat on
the path. It Is likely that Proulx will Join
the team , making an acquisition that will
win more laurels for the club and add
strength to the combination.
Local cyclists watch with regret the rapid
ruin of the "Council Bluffs course" at onetime
time the rendezvous of the racing men ,
the pleasure seekers and the staid cyclist
who rode to and from the Bluffs for the
good It did him the thoroughfare Is now
full of holes , caused by decay , and It Is as
much os a man's life Is worth to try and
ride It at night.
The Tourist Wheelmen will have no regu
lar run today. Some will go to Sarpy mills
to take In the ball game between the Gany-
medes and Omaha Whsel club. Others will
wheel up to Logan , and still others will go
to Fremont. The Tourists were to meet the
Fremont club at Bennlngton and spend the
day with them , but arrangements have been
made for another meeting later In the
season.
The Omaha Wheel club and the Ganymede
Wheel club of Council Bluffs will Join Issues
today at Sarpy mills In a regular old-fash
ioned cyclists' picnic. A game of base ball
between the crack nine from the Bluffs and
the Omaha wheelmen will be one of the
features. The committee on commissary has
made extensive arrangements for the enter
tainment of the wheelmen during the balance
of the dav. At the last picnic the Omahas
were defeated at ball by the Blufiltes with
comparative ease , and the game promises to
result differently today. Hoffmeyer , who has
gained celebrity as an umpire , will officiate
as lord high everything else In today's
game.
The Tourist Wheelmen have paid more at
tentlon to pleasure runs this season than
heretofore , hence the small figures In club
mileage. The total club mileage for May and
June is 3,326 miles , which compares favor
ably , however , wltfi the same months for pre
vious years. In 1891 the club mileage was
3.310 miles ; ' 92 , 4,037 miles ; ' 93 , 4,636 miles.
The club members who have the highest
credits on the medal mileage and who are
"placed" for the mileage prizes are not far
behind the record made by the club men last
season. They follow In the order named :
E. P. Walker. 258 miles ; Alex Melton , 196
miles ; II. K. Smith , 180 miles ; Charles Pe-
gau , 182 miles. Several runs were abandoned
during last month on account of bad weather
and wet roads.
Well ! the great fourth annual meet of the
Nebraska division Is a matter of history only
now. "It has comerand went , " gone bu not
forgotten by any means. It has .takjij Its
place among the long list of cycling has
beens , wrapped In a blazing mantle of glory.
Without a single exception It was undoubt
edly the grandest meet Nebraska has ever
held , well managed , well attended and enJoyed -
Joyed by all. It was a surprise party to
some , dnd a Waterloo to others. Several
state records were smashed to smithereens
and a couple of new champions now occupy
the pedestals of the fallen ones , who were
toppled over without ceremony or great noise.
It might bo Interesting to review a llttlo and
see how matters stand. As to state cham
pions , Barnett , the Lincoln speeder , holds the
ono mlle championship. Condon made a
hard fight to retain It. There are many
who have seen Barnett ride that are san
guine In their belief that he Is the fastest
man In the state today. The half mile and
two mile championships are now hold by
Henry E. Fredrlcksen of Fremont. He broke
the state record of J.16 for the half-mile In
competition , his tlmo being 1.15. The two-
mile championship was formerly held by Les
ter Holton of Omaha. Fredrlcksen Is a big-
man , weighing 181 pounds , and does not
have as pretty a track action as others , but
he "gets there Just the same. " He Is also
a first-class road man , something unusual for
track men. He Is vice pr.si ent of the Kr.mont
Wheel club and an honorary member of the
Tourist Wheelmen of Omaha. His first race
of any prominence was at Lincoln last year ,
when ho won the fat man's mlle-champlon-
shlp , running away from the other "fat
" " cat" locomotive the
men" like n "wild on
remains at the old figures , 34 2-5 seconds ,
The records In competition as near as can
bo learned are AS follows : The quarter-mile
remains at the old figure , 31 2-5 seconds
held by L. E. Holton , made on the Omaha
fair grounds track , July 22 , 1893 ; the half-
mile Is now 1.15 , held by II. E. Frcdrlcksen
of Fremont , made at Kearney , July 4 , 1894 ;
the one-mile figures are now 2.20'/6 , made by
Coulter of Toledo , O. , at Kearney , Neb. , July
4 , 1891. The best tlmo made by a Nebraska
rider for the same distance In competition
Is 2.29. made by A. E. Proulx of Omaha , at
Kearney on the Fourth. The previous
record was 2.41 1-5. The two-mile record Is
now 5.15 , made by J. A. 'McQutre of Denver ,
Cole , , at Kearney , the Fourth ; best record
made by a Nebraska rider , 5,20 , made by A.
E. Proulx at Kearney on the same day ; pre
vious record , 6.09 , made last season. The
three-mile record remains at 7.59 3-5 , and Is
lictd by William Bchnell , we believe. The
live-mile record of 12.53 1-5 , made by Russell
Condon at the Young Men's Christian associ
ation track , remains Intact. The ten-mile
record of 29.05 , made by Russell Condon at
the Tourist tournament. July 22 , 1893 , It Is
claimed , was lowered at Blair on Juno 25 to
28.06 , as wau also the quarter-mile record ,
but as there seems to have been some dls-
; iute as to the accuracy of the timing and
other adjuncts to the race met It remains a
Question. Tlio other records were all made
at rceularly sanctioned meets , and the tlmo
taken by competent watch handlers. Condon
has stepped out of class A ranks , and Is now
a full-fledged class B man , along with
Johnnie Johnson , Walter Sanger , Tyler ,
Bolea , Coulter , et ol. He la confident that he
can ride with the cracks and get his share
of the spoil or ho wouldn't have taken the
step. It Is stated that he rode a half-mile
against tlmo at Kearney in 1.07.

Kissing Is doomed. '
The best women of New York and Brook
lyn nre making a firm stand'against It.
It they persevere , ns they nre deter
mined to do. the practice will fall Into In
nocuous desuetude during this administra
tion.
Kissing begun to go out of fashion when
physical culture came In. It was the ath
letic girls who helped to bring about the
change In the situation , says the New York
World. Dr. Sargent , Dr. Savage and other
eminent but less prominent professors of
physical development IIUVH unconsciously
done moro to solve the woman question than
any other profession.
The last Important case of kissing that
society can remember occurred at the Marl-
borough-IIamcrslcy wedding. It was a civil
service for obvious reasons. Mayor Hewitt
officiated. Ho was a personal friend of the
late duke and an ardent admirer and Inti
mate friend of the beautiful Mrs. Hamers-
ley. It was the bridegroom's Intention to
present him with a purse for the purchase of
a souvenir , but his honor wouldn't have It.
In describing It afterward , the duchess of
Marlborough said that she offered her
cheek , but he chose her lips , and everybody
accused his honor of having taken a mean
advantage of his position.
The decline of the society kiss began some
time ago. It dates from the rise of the college -
lego woman's gymnasium. Trainers from
Yale and Hardvard were Inveigled Into lect
ure courses ; Smith , Vassar , Wellcsley , Farm-
Ington and Ogantz girls went to hear them ,
and out of these athletic matinees grew the
physical culture fad which has eliminated
kissing , headaches , nerves , fainting spells
and handshaking to a degree. The more
tenderly reared girls were trained at home ,
but for one private pupil then the physical
culturlst has twenty today. Mothers who
had music rooms In the homes of their girl
hood have gymnasiums now for their
daughters , and Intead of a piano teacher ,
an athlete from a riding academy , medical-
bath or physical culture Institute comes
three times a week to put them Into condi
tion. Less study Is made of muscular devel
opment than of personal culture and animal
perfections Diet , rest , recreation , assoirf-
atlon and carriage are practically considered.
Bathing and massage are taken scientifically.
When one of these exquisite students of re
fined living Is obliged to make a fine ap
pearance on short notice she Is dressed In a
sweater , put through a vigorous exercise
with Indian clubs or boxing gloves and liter

In high and low life things are done dif
ferently. In one Instance the girl goes tea
a ball with her parents , ' or , er brother and
maid. She has her own Carriage , and the
moment she drops her \yrapshe Is all ready.
Instead of going to the dressing room and
prinking she Is taken directly to the recep
tion or ball room. There are no hysterical
girls to kiss. The society girl Is calm.
She has repose. She , has powder on her
face lots of It to keep her cool , and even If
she did not consider kissing bad form It
'
would annoy her to have her complexion
mottled. , i
In the greeting of friends most of the
handshaking Is done by.-the old folks. Men
don't wish to have their young lady daugh
ters or their young wives shake hands with
everybody. A bow Is much better , It
shows a woman's brced\ng. \ A woman com
ing down stairs Is graceful or awkward , but
when she bows she Is aristocratic or com
mon. That kissing Is a privilege they ap
preciate the old ladles and gentlemen show
when their lips touch the hair of a niece era
a granddaughter. If the stately matrons
who greet each other with the kiss of peace
when family visits are exchanged are no
ticed It will be found that the salutes are
lost on the air.
Instead of being regarded as a messenger
of love the kiss Is suspected of being a har
binger of disease ; the recipient Is always
afraid of catching something. It may be
Insignificant , but observation shows that the
healthiest people nre least addicted to the
kissing habit. Nature abhors it ; in Infancy
there Is no disguising the aversion. The
fat , wee baby submits to the torture of the
rapacious affection as the quickest way of
escape. Children alone do very little kissIng -
Ing , and parents who know the danger to
Which they are exposed resent the familiar
ity. George Francis Train Is not the only
New Yorker who holds that kissing Is per
nicious and exhaustive. Physicians and
surgeons In every clinic and every Import
ant case denounce the practice. Their
own babies are never kissed by visitors ,
and rarely only on the cheek by friends.
President Cleveland Is reported to have
drawn the line at kisses.
America Is the only civilized country
where kissing Is abused. Oentle people every
where else kiss these they love on the
cheek. In the land where all are sup
posed to bo born free and equal lips meet
In friendly salutation but a year or two
will change all that.
OMAHA , June 11. To the Editor of The
Itee : As Miss Anthony , president of the
National Woman's Suffrage association , has
been criticized for renouncing her allegiance
to the political party which formerly was
her choice , please publish the following
extract from a letter written to the presi
dent of the Nebraska Woman's Suffrage as
sociation , which I am sure she would like
to have quoted that all may know Just how
she stands with regard .to the people's party
of Kansas. VIOLA KAUFMAN.
From Miss Anthony's letter :
"Lots of the boys have been here this
afternoon Interviewing me on 'going over
to the pops. '
"I told them wo had been floundering In
the Dead tea of dlsfranchlsement all these
years begging the great political parties
to throw us a plank on which we could
swim safely Into the harbor of the body
politic , and that this of the populist party
of Kansas was the first time that cither of
the two dominant parties had over answered
to our cry.
"Hence It was that both Miss Shaw and
myself lifted ourselves out of the Slough of
Despond onto the plank so kindly thrown
us by the Kansas populists , and on It alone
I stand. If I can leave New York next
fall I shall make as many speeches as I
can In their campaign meeting * , talking only
on my own plank , knowing nothing of the
rest of the platform , feeling sure that one
that can stand the 'burden * of woman
suffrage must bo stronger than the other
party's that was not deemed strong enough
to be 'loaded down with > woman suffrage. '
"I am glad that * you ar ? not first a repub
lican and then a woman suffragist like .
"Oh , that all of our women could bo women
first and then a republican or a populist , or
any sort of a partisan , they choose. "
An article In Tuesday's Evening Dee
prompts mo to expatiate further , writes a
fair correspondent.
The author toys : "Some of you literary
fellows must wrlto a book on street car
etiquette for the benefit of the ladles. "
Now , I am not a "fellow , " but I will
admit that I have had literary aspirations ,
which , however , I have never gratified
being too bashful. ( ? )
I deeply sympathize with this elderly
gentleman and I do not hesitate to assert
that on my account he has never had cause
to complain , for I have actually been to
determined to display my gratitude when
accepting favors from gentlemen , while on
i street car , that I have , fairly yelled ,
"Thank you , " so as to be heard ,
If It were not for the embarrassing mis
understanding resulting I would refuse to
take a seat from poor , tired men who have
probably been on their feet all day.
I have often seen women ( I'll not call
them ladles ) sink Into a seat proffered them
by a gentleman with such an air of scorn
and superiority that I am tempted to apolo
gize for them. It actually makes me
ishamed of my sex.
And as tor remaining on the end at a
neat anJ forcing others to squeeze through ,
at the rl k of Injuring your best gown , 1
think It In ft piece of folly. When those
In the center want to leave the car the
pamnRcra on the end will shrink tip to let
them out , Often I have seen gentlemen
step off the car. If we cnn accept ouch
courtesies , whr { Mould we not be more thin
willing to reiurn tno favors by At least a
kind look and a polite "thank you. "
I wish every time a gentleman's kindness
Is not appreciated the recipient would be
forced to hold or ) tp the strap on her next
trip ns remuneration.
That In a desperate desire , but It comes
from desperate depths.
Every few days some apology for man
hood with more brass than brains jumps
up with an essay on girls. This nbomlu-
able class of literature always begins with a
sneer and ends with a.kick. A distinct
flavor of sourness permeates It. The genuine
girl Is absolutely unessayable , writes a
Kentucky Journalist with the nine Grass
girl In his mind. Nobody understands her ;
she doesn't understand herself. She Is a
delightful bundle of contradictions. As wise
as a serpent , she Is as Innocent as any suckIng -
Ing dove. She Is as modest as a violet and
sweet as a barrel of molasses. She Is as rosy
OR a winter apple nml as plump as an Indian
summer partridge. She knows something
about the piano and lots about making
biscuit. She Is tender with her sweetheart
and sets the dog on the other fellow. She
Is an armful of delights and blessed Is the
youth she takes Into partnership In wearing
out the sofa. She Is a daisy and a dump
ling , and In all God's created creation there
Is nothing worthy to be named In the same
breath with her. Them's our sentiments ,
and the man who differs with us has treason
In his soul and bite on his liver.
It Is seldom that one hears of a woman
minister officiating at a wedding. Fre
quently female leaders of the Salvation army
have undertaken to synchronize the beating
of two hearts , but Salvation army amnzons
are not ordained ministers. The only cere
mony of the kind which has taken place In
New York In many years occurred on Juno
20 , when Mrs. Hanaford married Miss Alna
Ayrcs , a New Hampshire girl , to Edward T.
Llndqulst of Glen Ridge , N. J. The wedding
took place In the drawing room of the
groom's country place. Mrs. Hanaford has
adopted from the cercmcny of her Quaker
parents a wedding service of her own. The
bride and groom are told to Join right hands.
Then Mrs. Hanaford asks of the man : "Da
you take this woman at your side to be
your lawfully wedded wife , promising through
Divine assistance to be unto her a faithful
and affectionate husband until It shall please
the Lord by death you two to separate ? Do
you thus promise ? " To the bride Is put a
similar question. When the groom has
placed the ring on the bride's finger , Mrs.
Hanaford gives the couple a few words of
religious and domestic admonition. Then
she announces : "liy virtue of the authority
Invested In me by the laws of the common
wealth , and as a minister of Jesus Christ ,
I pronounce you man and wife. Those whom
God hath Joined together let no man put
asunder. " After making an extemporaneous
prayer , Mrs. Hanaford pronounces the bene
diction.
Few Italian mothers , and none who llvo
In any degree of comfort , suckle their own
children , and the proper kind of nurse Is
looked up for months before a baby Is ex
pected to be born. These requisitions must
be fulfilled : She must be young , strong , dark-
haired , clear-skinned , must have good teeth ,
be of respectable family , with a good hus
band , and If possible she must have a tran
quil , serene temper , writes Ellen Olney
Kirk In July Lipplncott's. She gives up her
husband , her family , and her own children
for two years , to take the position. An elab
orate trousseau Is prepared for her by the
mother of the child she Is to care for , and
when she enters the new service care Is
taken that she shall send back every article
that she has worn away from home , even
to her shoes and stockings. She becomes at
once a chief personage In the household.
She Is not only to be well paid , well fed ,
and well clothed , but she Is to bo flattered ,
humored , smiled at , and treated with consid
eration by master and mistress , and other
servants arc to wait upon her. She must
have no fatigue , no anxiety ; above all she
must never be crossed In any wish , and It
she Insists that black Is white , black be
comes white on the Instant , lest the baby
should be ruffled In spirits or temper and his
food disagree with him. "Stare tranqullla , "
Is the law of the house where the nurse Is
concerned. No bad news Is ever told her ; If
her husband and relations visit her , they are
to tell her only what will keep her happy
and In good humor.
The question came up In an English court
recently whether or not a woman's mouth
could come under the legal designation of "a
property or thing , " the counsel for the plain
tiff having asked the Judge to give on order
for the special examination of said mouth
that it might be ascertained whether or not
a set of false teeth which It contained were
properly made. The magistrate came to the
conclusion , says the Philadelphia Press , that
ho could make no order on the application ,
thus virtually declining to admit that a
mouth Is'"a property or thing. "
Whatever else It may , or may not be , a
mouth Is generally the most characteristic
feature of a face ; It Is the only feature over
whoso expression Its possessor has much
control. It is a mistake to regard the eyes
as very expressive of themselves , as Is
proved by a form of amusement , popular
among young people that of hanging up a
sheet with a hole In It Just largo enough
to admit a human eye without Its facial
surroundings. Unless the color Is especially
distinguishing , or the lashes remarkable , It
Is almost Impossible to tell one eye from
another.
But the mouth Is decidedly characteristic
of Its"owner. . To the lover his sweetheart's
mouth Is Invariably beautiful. An expres
sionless button hole. If It belongs to the
loved one , Is a rose bud ; a wide mouth Indi
cates frankness and generosity , and thick
lips are "pouting" and thin ones firm and
decided. Of all disagreeable facial charac
teristics a mouth that will not shut or stay
shut Is one of the most disagreeable ; In conJunction -
Junction with a receding chin It Indicates
great weakness of character.
Red lips are both beautiful and Indicative
of good health. Who ever heard of a heroine
whoso lips were mentioned at all , and yet
were not described as a "ripe" or "luscious"
red ? And probably a heroine of fiction at
least never existed whose teeth were not
white. They may at a pinch bo a trifle Ir
regular , but Invariably of pearly whiteness.
Solomon himself , whoso wisdom occasionally
took the form of poetic good taste and .Ap
preciation of beauty , admired teeth that
were "like a flock of sheep that are even
shown , which came up from the washing , "
and the lips of his admiration are like unto
"a thread of scarlet. "
Telling ghost stories for a living Is what
ono young English woman Is doing , says
the New York Sun.
Her family met with reverses It Is the
usual story. What could she do to earn an
honest penny ?
"I cannot teach , I cannot paint , I cannot
write , nor will I dig , or beg , or steal. What
can I do what shall I do ? " was the ques
tion she put to a friend whoso sympathy
she did not doubt , although she did her
ability to give her any practical reply.
After a moment or two of hard thinking ,
the friend said :
"There Is one thing , at least , that you can
do and do well you can tell ghost stories. "
Acting upon this suggestion she soon after
Joined the ranks of young women who sup
port themselves and became a ghost story
teller , and a great success she has made of
the profession. If such It can be called.
An American lady who formed ono of a
house party at an English country place last
winter speaks enthusiastically of the success
of the undertaking , and says that a very
pleasant two hours were those which the
party spent In listening to the thrilling
and blood-curdling stories told by the young
girl , who was bright , pretty and well dressed ,
She was treated as a guest , and supposed
by the greater number of the party to be
one , and to have very obligingly consented
to tell tales for the amusement of her com
panions. The check which she received
from the hostess was for a goodly amount
about what a singer or musician would re
ceive.
Wheather telling ghost stories for a liveli
hood would meet wltli any success In this
country Is a question. Slnco house parties
are becoming so much the fashion among
the smart act In America possibly the
services of a young lady who had a knock
this way might bo turned to advantage. A ,
rainy afternoon Is the time when every
thing drags. There Is no tennis , no golf ,
no riding , no driving , one can't read all the
time , and music and dancing are for the
evening ; atory telling , then , comes In very
acceptably. la England ono always counts

"Havo you over been hypnotized In a dry
goods store ? " asked a clever dame of a
piazza coterie. "I mean have you ever been
waited on by clerks who absolutely force you
to buy what you don't want ? Let me tell
you what happened to me the other morning.
"I went Into the city to buy a new gown ,
and In a certain store one of the horrible
hypnotic clerks fixed mo with his glittering
cyo and positively controlled my purchase.
He mesmerized me Into letting him cut off a
gown pattern that I did not want. It did
not suit me in color , design or texture , yet
there I stood , spellbound , and allowed the
scl&sors to seal my doom. A cash boy was
then called to carry the purchase to the lin
ing counter. On the wny over there I
emerged from my hypnotized condition ,
and had my revenge. What do you think
I done ? I turned a corner , scurried through
crowds of other victims , got out at a side
door , and went about my business. No
one in the store knew me , and I have felt
better ever since. If the hypnotic clerk had
trouble with the proprietor about that gown
so much the better. It will teach him not
to exercise his mesmeric powers over help
less women. "
The Victorian club in London was estab
lished by a woman. She Is now Its presi
dent. Its purpose Is giving satisfactory ac
commodations to women who go to town
for a few days , and providing comfortable
permanent homes for professional women at
moderate prices. Subscriptions are on a very
low scale , and women In town pay ono guinea
a. year and memboru from ! the country
contribute only 13 shillings. There Is no
pecuniary responsibility Incurred , so the
whola expense Is within the limit of a very
modest Income. Small rooms can be ob
tained for a half a guinea a week , and meals
can bo served marvellously cheap because
there are so many members. And the priv
ilege for joining for one month for four shil
lings Is another advantage the club offers.
There are no restraining rules to Interfere
with the perfect Independence of the mem
bers. They go out and come In when they
please and have free access to all the rooms.
In fact , It Is a residential club , founded on
principles which must appeal to every
woman who earns her living.
To think that flfty years ago a lady's maid
was a rare bird In New York , where nowa
days the life's happiness of many women
depends on whether they are well "maided"
or not ! It Is rather Interesting to learn
from Demorcst's for July that In one of the
Vanderbllt houses at Newport , where every
summer smart house parties In regular suc
cession are entertained , a whole corridor In
ono wing Is set aside for the accommodation
of visiting ladles' maid s. There Is a tmlto
of charming little bed rooms all daintily fur
nished In maple and dimity , a cozy sitting
room and perfect bath room , all set aside for
the maids' enjoyment and comfort. A gen
eral Impression , under which the women of
simple manners labor , Is that the position of
maid to a rich leader of fashion is a good
deal of a sinecure. In same respects It is ,
for beyond doing the very choicest laces oc
casionally the maid of a rich woman Is for
bidden to do anything that will redden or
coarsen her hands or disarrange her dress ;
but on the wholo" her llfo Is not easy. Some
times she asslHts at a half dozen changes of
costume a day , and she Is responsible for the
condition and whereabouts of every article
and ornament of the toilet. When she sends
her mistress down to Uie carriage , bound for
a ball , dinner , shopping or calU , cveiy small
est detail must be perfect , every button solid ,
fresh handkerchiefs In pockets and cards In
their case. Sometimes slie sits up until
after midnight for three and four evenings
In succession , and must be at madamc'H bed
side In perfect trim next morning , however
soon caprice may have prompted mudame'R
call. She often has to nurse Indolent , fret
ful mistresses through Imaginary and tedious
Illnesses ; and one poor creature , whouo em
ployer was a victim of nerve * ; , slept every
night In a room adjoining the hypochondriac ,
with a rope round her waist and one end of
It resting on a chair at her cmployer'H bed
side. At any hour of the nfght a rude Jerk
ing literally dragged her from her slumbers
to some need of the fanciful lady who paid
the maid well , however , for the life of real
torturo.
