A strong dress reform club bas been quietly launehed.im Boston. Secrecy tor the present | was the word, but as the organization is made up exclusively of women, this part of the pro- gram was of course a failure. A reporter has learned that it is seriously proposed by a number of Boston ladies to ap- pear on the streets the first rainy Saturday in | October in short skirts made up of waterproof cloth in dark colors, reaching but an inch or two below the knee, with heavy boots and long gaiters made from mackintosh cloth. If gaiters are not used, then mousquetaire or ordinary | riding boots will be worn. The skirt will be kilted and hang heavy, 80 as not to be disar- ranged by the wind. A reefer jacket or long cloak will cover the upper part of the body, and under this a funcy silk skirt or ordinary dress waist will be worn. An ordinary hat, or, better still, a tarpaulin sailor bat, will com: plete what’ will certainly be a very novel cos- tume. It has been decided to have no complete uni- formity about the dress. In the matter of ma- terial the members of the club have been in- structed to exercise their individual tastes, waking the toilet asattractive and Lecoming as P'The membership of this dress reform club | bas already reached 200, and includes school teachers, physicians, actresses and members of other professions. Discussions are held as to | the best means to bring about the much-needed | change. All the members have pledged them- selves to appear on the streets and in the stores of Boston—ain fact, wherever they are likely to attract attention—in « dress which may become popular with women in stormy weather. ‘Where Travelers Are Enjoying Cool Breesee— Personal Notes.

Only Great Presence of Mind Saved Ouda From Serious Injury. Ouda, who performs some wonderful feats on the trapeze, gave an exhibition last evening at the Academy of Musie which was not down on the program. It was an exhibition of agility and presence of mind, which saved his life. ‘The performance of the Cleveland minstrel troupe was about over and Ouda was perform- ing his last feat, which was a sweep from one trapeze to the other, twenty feet above the stage, turning a backward somersault as he darted through the air. It was not usually a difficult thiyg for him to do, but for some reason he failed last evening. He did not catch the bar as he turned through the air and he came crashing down a distance of twenty feet to the hard floor of the stage. Fortunately he placed his hands behind his back, which broke the fall. He was carricd off the stage, and it was found that one of his wrists was dislocated. It was soon pulled in place and Ouda wasable to return to the stage and assure the alarmed audience by hi earance that he bad not been killed. The accident caused Ouda go little inconvenience that he will appear again this evening as usual. The Golden Cross. At the regular meeting of Goodwill Com- mandery, No. 21, U. O. G.

The trouble with « hot spell is that the pub- lic takes all the initiation and the thermometer all the degrees. She never thonght of taking her soda water in the ordinary, old-fashioned way, and when Harold treated her to a common five-cent drink she was shocked, not to say grieved. “Now,” said Harold, “do you think that there is anything more cooling than this?” and he | gulped in intense enjoyment. She sot her glass down and said, with an ac- cent of scorn that took half the force out of the slang: “No; ice cream isn’t in it.” The wasp interferes with accepted ideas as to proverbs. That a small beginning may have a great ending is comfortable to think about, but when we have to contemplate the fact that a small ending is likely to bring about any quantity of enlargement the subject be- comes confusing. “Iam the old woman who lived in shoo,” said good Mrs. Stebbins, as she went to chase the chickens ont of the garden for the seventh time that morning. Ob, whore is the cat on the high back fence, ‘That shifted its awful wa: Till the man came forth with a rage intense, And a gun that was filled with nails! He pointed the firtarm firm and true, And the trigger he pulled with care, And a seeming cartliquake came and threw Debris through the midnight air. ‘The gun is in pieces miles away; "Tis far past the mender’s skill. The man has a surgeon's fee to pay, And the cat is waiting still. “Iam not much on the musical lay,” said the hen when she cackled off the key. ———_+e-—____ THE POLICE TERIAL BOARD. More Cases Than Ever This Summer—Seven to Be Tried Tomorrow. The number of policemen tried before the police trial committee has been larger this summer than ever before in the history of the department. The trials have been both on complaint of citizens and superior officers of the force, principally the night inspector, who is intrusted with the particular duty of looking after the men after sundowy, ‘The trials have become so numerous and the number of witnesses so large that there is no longer room at police headquarters to accom- modate them, and hereafter the meetings of the committee or trial board, as it is more gen- erally called, will bg at the sixth precinet police station on New Jersey avenue. ‘The committee, which at present is composed of Capt. Austin, Inspector Swindelis and Lieut. Hollinberger, meets every Weduesday, und to- morrow its session Will be held at the police station mentioned. | Beven officers are to be tried tomorrow, und it is estimated that nearly 100 witnesses will be called in the cases, ‘The two cases that will attract the most at- tention are those of Officers Mellen and Hen dricks. In the first case a petition for the officer's removal, as well as one for hi tion, have been’ circulated in the vicinity of Florida avenue and 7th street, where the officer does duty; while inthe case of Officer Hen- dricks indignation meetings have been held in Northeast Washington, where the officer did duty. Oilicer Hendricks has been transferred since the meetings were held, und he is now doing duty in the eighth precinct. Lawyer Qscar Natick will appear us the counsel of both be- fore the trial committee. In the ease of Officer Meller there are three counts to the charges. The first count charges that he failed and neglected to patrol his beat. | Another charges that he obtuined beer or | whisky in the saloon of Dennis Connell on 7th | street and failed to pay for the sume, while the {third charges that he arrested Charles T. | Hoover without authority of law and that he | wilfully maltreated bim. Conduct unbecoming an officer is the charge against Ofticer Hendricks and it is charged tut he used harsh and violent lnaguage toward. and that he used unnecessary violence and did wiltully maltreat Samuel Covington and Joseph Carter. It is not likely that all the cases will be finished tomorrow if all the wit- nesses are examined, ‘There will be a specia: meeting of the board Friday to hear another section of the oft-re- peated charges against Detective Block. As in the other cases against that officer Ferdinand Lowenstein appears as complainant. He Only Watched. ~ When Charlie Boynton, a fifteen-year-old colored boy fror: Dingman place, appeared in | the Poli-e Court today as a suspicious person he declared that he was an honest boy, and in substantiation of Lisassertion he told the judge that he had never stolen anything: that Le only watched while other boys did the stealing. ‘Ninety da —__ Burial Permits Issued.

The Lindsay Expedition Hopes to Find Traces of the Renowned Leichhardt. Baron yon Muller, president of the Melbourne branch of the Austraiian Association'for the Ad- vancement of Scienee, writes that the expedi- tion under the command of Mr. Lindsay, which has just been sent into the interior, has for its purpose not only to complete in its broad de- tails the mapping of Australia, but also to solve the mystery of Dr. Leichhardt, one of the greatest of the early explorers of Australia, who has never been heard from since he disap- peared from view on his expedition into the far interior in 1848. The cost of fittin out the expedition was $25,000. all of which was contributed by Sir Thos. Elder. In tho northwestern part of the continent, near 125° east longitude, the party will stop to investigate the rumors which, 2c- cording to Mr. MeVhee, exist among the natives there to the effect that many years ago a party of three Europeans and a native who had come on horses from the east had perished in thi wilderness from starvation. 1tis hoped thi the expedition will succeed in throwing light upon the fate of the renowned traveler.

DOG DAY REFLECTIONS. Don't Growl About the Weather—You Are Better Off Than Many. ALITTLE HUT UNDER AN EMBANEMENT—SOME VERY HOT PLACES—IMPROVEMENT IN WASHING TON WEATHER—A DESERTED TOWN—CALORICS IN CANADA. Just stop and think a moment. Wipe the per- spiration from your brow and reflect that at the very moment when you are hot millions of people are hot too. Over in Georgetown,down near Rock creek, so situated that a steep em- bankment cuts off all the broeze that may be stirring, there isa small cottage. It has no parlor or dining room. The cooking (when there is any), the washing and eating are all done in one small room. The bed room is only just large enough to hold one bed; over this is 4 loft, right under the roof, and in that roomis another bed. A whole family lives in this shanty, and if it is hoteleewhere, depend upon it, it is hotter there. We are all in the same box, my friend, and what is the use of growling about the weather when you are no worse off than your neighbor? As you fan yourself to sleep do not flatter ‘ourself that you are the only person who is loing so. There are a million fans, at least, going. Some of them are being worked by slaves in Africa; others are being lazily waved by dark-eyed women in the south. Your fan is not the only one in the world. . HOT WEATHER EXPERIENCED BY SAILORS. ‘What is the hottest place in the world?” was the question asked a naval officer by a Stax reporter the other day. “The hottest place that I was ever in,” wae the reply, “‘was a certain port on the east coast of South America. Iam not going to give the name, for they may have a land boom down there, and I don’t want to interfere with any prosperity the place may get. Our government ordered my ship down there in August. When we came to anchor we found there was yellow fever on shore. You know what that means, I suppose. It involves the isolation of the ship and strict orders from the commander for no one to leaveher. A still, glassy surface of sea about you, nothing but a white awning between you and the sun and in the cabin not a breath of air stirring; you can imagine what it would be. At such times laziness comes over the whole ship's company. Mibedy manag aoey enki ealnas te sleep in the afternoon, if they can, but I can tell you tha’ little bit of a state room with a little round hole in it for a window is nota very comfortable place to sleep in. At night we come on deck and try to smoke and enjoy ourselves, but it is dreary work. Of all things that a sailor dislikes, the most disagreeable is to ride at anchor for weeks at a time and hold no communication with the shore. I don’t re- member what the thermometer was on this occasion, but I know that we suffered three weoks of intolerable heat. although fortunately nobody had the yellow fever.” BETTER OFF THAN OUR ANCESTORS. It cannot be denied that the naval officer is worse off in hot weather than we are. Then there is another reflection that should make one more contented—the present generation far better off than our ancestors were. Wash® ington itself, thut is now getting quitea reputa- tion as a summer resort, used to be much less agrecable than it now is. All the streets are lined with fine shade trees, but it was not always thus. ‘Then, again, there were swamps about us and they no longer exist. Malaria is now a thing of the past to the man who a few precautions. But take a place like Philadelphia or New York. ‘There hasn't been a case of yellow fever there for many years, but about sixty years ago the city of brotherly love was almost de- populated one summer by “Yellow Jack.” A Ranie seized the inbabitantsand many people ied from sheer neglect and others were frightened into sickness. ‘The outskirts of the town were crowded with hospital tents. New York was little better. Nearly every summer there was more or less of yellow fever. YELLOW JACK ALMOST A THING OF THE PAST. ‘The dreaded discase is almost a thing of the past in America. Some few of the cities south of us suffer from it occasionally, but New Or- Jeans, whi vorite abode, has not had an epidei e years. The intervals between epidemics are further and further apart, and it is quite certain that the time is near at hand when there will be no yellow fever in Americz. Even the swamp country of the south is growing healthier. It cannot be con- tended that it is healthy or that it ever will be, but it is not as deadly as it used to be.

There used to be « small town in South Caro- Ina that has since been abandoned, but that in its day was quite a famous place. It was the judicial capital of the Beaufort district and the lawyers had to live there for a part of the year, In ‘winter the population was composed of about 100 people and in summer nota soul lived there except a certain shopkeeper named Basailue. ‘To sivep in this village from June to Novem- ber was almost certain deuth to every one but Bassilue, and he, for some strange reason, was exempt from the poison that arose from the surrounding swamps. The prisoners in the juil cheated” the courts and lawyers of their fevs, for when the aummer came they were pretty certain to die. It may have been due to much as to any otiier cause, that the capital was moved aud the little town died natural death. HOT WEATHER IX CANADA. A noted traveler whose peregrinations have, however, been confined principally to this con- tinent, upon being asked where the hottest summer weather could be found replied that the worst days he had ever experienced were spent in Canada. In northern latitudes the heat does not last for a very long time, but when it is hot it is hot with a vengeance.

It is gommonly thought that a butterfly dreads the water as a fine lady dreads rain, but evidently this is not true in Australia. “The case of an Australian buttertly deliberately entering the water to take a bath is recorded by M. G. Lyell, jr. He saw it alight close to the water, into which it backed until the whole of the body and the lower part of the hind legs were submerged, the two iorelegs alone rotain- ing their hold on the dry land. After remain ing in this position for semething like half a minute, it flew away, apparently refreshed. Ar. Lyell says: “During the morning I noticed anumber doing the same thing. In one in- stance no less than four were to be seen within aspace of not more than three yards, and, to make sure that I was not deceived, I captured several as they rose from the water and found im each case the body and lower edge of the hind wings quite wet. While in the water the fluttering of the wings, so noticeable at other times, was suspended, and so intent were the butterflies in the enjoyment of the cold bath that they could hardly move, even when actu- ally touched by the net. Apparently the heat of the weather drove them down to the water, as immediately upon emerging they flew up again to the hillsides. Butterflies are often ween apparently sucking in the moisture around the edge of the pools; but they huve never be- fore been seen actually to enter the water.” penuottomes.

He stood in front of a window on Olive street and gazed at the skeleton of an alleged mer- maid, which was displayed there among other curiosities, His hair was unkempt, his beard ragged, his clothes seedy; in fuct, the word tramp was branded upon his countenance andattire. The mermaid was not a pleasant sight certainly, and if she looked no better in life than she does in death no man with the least eye for beauty could ever have been lured into a watery grave by her wiles. But there wasa horror in the tramp’s face as he looked at the unsightly ob- ject which even its ugliness could not account for. He shuddered as he looked at the window and tried several times to walk away, but each time was brought back to the spot as if drawn by a powerful magnet. ‘Whar is that thing, anyhow?" he finally asked of a bystande “What? Why, that's a mermaid; it was found in the Bay of Hong Kong.” “I don't remember'em by that name,” mused the tramp, ‘but I've seen ‘em before: yes, 've had "em. ‘Mermaids?

That's where I had the mermaids. I got ‘em from drinkin’ South Clark street booze. I knew I'd had ‘em some- where, an’ it bothered me to tell where. Well, old gal, how are you? Saw a lot of your sisters in Chicago, and they all. sent their love to you. They were mighty fond of me, your sisters were. They used to come around my bed all the time when I was sick. Never left me night or day till I got well. Say mister,” continued the tramp, turning to the Lounger, who had overheard ‘his soliloquy, “give me u quarter to stave off the mermaids.’ If you don’t I'll have ‘em again, sure.” ‘He got the quarter and at once proceeded to drown the mermaids in a liquid somewhat stronger than that in which they were accus- tomed to swim. —_——_+e-—___. ‘The Dear Old Lady.

HOUSE VERSUS RAILROAD, Mr, Isham‘ Says It is Going Across the Tracks, Railroad or No Katlroad. Both the opposing forces are resting on their arms in the contest between the Penneylvania railroad and Contractor Redding at Elizabeth, N. J. The latter wants to move « house belong- ing to Henry H. Isham of Brooklyn across the railroad track at Bayway, and the railroad au- thorities bhve blocked its progress with a train. Mr. Isham, the owner of the house, has the foundation ready for it, and he went to Elizabeth yesterday when he learned of the trouble. He had a consultation with Con- tracter Redding and a plan of action was de- cided upon. The city authorities will be applied to for a permit, which will be granted, and then, it is said, the con- tractor will be ready to tackle the railroad company. Mr. Isham, who is president of the State Agricultural ‘Society, said he hoped the difi- culty might be adjusted ina few days, but if it was not his man would be ready td go abead anyhow. He had no desire to incommode the ilroad or telegraph companies, and was wiil- g tofix atime that would suit their con- ence, but the house would have to go where the site wes in readiness for it, peace- ably if possible, forcibly if necessary. The railroad had no claim to the street crossing along which the house was being moved. Mr. Isham was in hopes that the railroad company would recede from its position so that the work could be done next Sunday, when travel is light over the road. There are seventy- five Western Union wires that must be cut and twenty-five railroad telegraph wires. Con- tractor Redding did not get, the city permit esterday, but be expects to have by today. le says he will then take the house, which is a big French roof structure, over the crossing, wires or no wires. ——_<eo—____. MAKRIED TO A THIEF. Rade Ending to the Honeymoon of a Roch- ester Bride. Two good-looking young men wearing patent- leather shoes and white silk vests and carrying canes were arraigned in the Buffalo police court yesterday. They were William Wilson and Lincoln Whiting. One night they went through Thomas Hunt's trousersand took $100. They left town, were located in Rochester and were brought back by Detective Divine late Saturday night. In court yesterday they waived examination and were held for the grand jury. Wilson and Whiting led a very gay life while they lived a weck at Rochester. Whiting was introduced to pretty eighteen-year-old Kitty MeCiellan at Charlotte, the summer resort of Rochester. The girlisa relative of the lateGen. Geore B. McClellan. She is described as being a handsome, intelligent young lady, who was brought up in a Rochester conven’. She isa relative of some of the oldest families in Oswego. Mies McClellan was fascinated by Whiting’s plausible stories of possessing great wealth and of being a relutive of Thomas Cars, the Buffalo society man. He seemed to have lois of money, which he spent lavishly, buying champagne, expensive luncheons and making costly pres- ents to Miss McClellan. He professed to be violently in love with her, and she reciprocated his affection. After ‘two duys’ courtship Whiting proposed marriage, was quickly ac- cepted and the following day the two were made one bya Rochester clergyman. Wilson was Whiting # best man and a daughter of the minister was the bridesmaid. The honeymoon lasted two days, when the Rochester police arrested Wilson and the newly made bridegroom for robbing Thomas Hunt of Buffalo. ‘The young bride was almost pros- trated at the terminution of her dream of hap- pines.

The titles held by the noble earl are many and include those of Earl of Cardigan, Earl Bruce, Baron Bradenell and Baronet and Marquis of Ailesbury. In 1884 he married a burlesque actress and dancer of not very savory reputation named Dorothy Julia Hasely, but who was more familiarly known to the habitues of concert halls and other places of that character as Dolly Tester.
