THE EVENING STAR, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 27, 1894—TWENTY PAGES. WINNESES UNDER OATH Astonishing Reports That Prove to Be Positive Pacts. Hundreds of people are now sounding the praises of Dr. Walker, the spectalist—people who know from their own experience that he overcomes the Most stubborn diseases after ather doctors have failed. Mr. T. D. Collins of 616 Hi street West, whose word is as good as his bond, sa; “T'was born and raised in Washington. For the st six years I have been in the employ of the Talon ‘Transfer Company. During five years of that time I have been a sufferer from aggravated nasal catarrh and catarrh of the stomach. Nothing I ate agreed with me; my s' gave me constant trouble; I was cou hawki and spitting; my breath was offensive, and I had @ never-ceasing pain across my forehead and in my éyes. I tried repeatedly ail kinds of medical treatment and remedies, but nothing gave me re- Hef. I was at last advised by friends who Peon cured by ‘Dr. Walker to place myself under care. I did so, and the resnit has been a most surprising rellef from my troubles. All the pain has left me; I eat whatever I desire; and it agrees with me;'the nasal discharge has ‘entirely ceased, and I feel fully a thousand times better than when I first called on Dr, Walker. I heartily recommend him to all sufferers, I reside at 616 Ht street southwest, where I shall be linppy to re- celve any one who desires personal confirmation of the facts here set forth.” Sworn to and subseribed before me this 23d day Of October, 1894.

Mr. and Mrs. Field now reside at 921 22d street north- west. “For six years my hushand has Mrs. Cora Field, done nothing but spend money on me for doctors,” said Mrs. Field, “but none of them did me any good. We tried doctor after doc- tor, and all the patent medicines that were repre- sented to be good for my trouble, but, in spite of hing, I continued to get worse. As @ last my husband took me to Ds. Walker. His treatment had an immediate god wonderful effect. I have been steadily tmproving since the day T went to him. Previous to tat time I had from six to a dozen spasms a day, ‘and was formerly confined to my bed most of the time. Now I can walk about the streets unaided, and am happily conscious that my troubles are rapidly and passing away. Dr. Waiker has w ders in my case, and T canpof speak too highly of him.

No Longer to Be Considered Good Form to Wear Obstructive Head- gear—Pertinent Suggestions. Will it be a total abolition of feminine headgear at theaters and places of amuse- ment, or will all the American world be just as well pleased by the adoption of a theater bonnet? ‘The ordinary run of’ fashion ‘pilates -re- veals the harrowing fact.that the feminine hat is to be trimmed wider and higher for the coming winter. If not now, ther when, in the name of suffering humanity and equally grieved hu-woman-ity, can the tall hat grievance be made a burning question and forever and always settled—by burning up the hat. In other words, the doom of the tall hat has been spoken. It has been written hundreds of times, but now it nas to go. It shall no longer be said of woman, capable of the most heroic endurance and sweetest sympathy in assuaging mental and physical suffering, that she will also deliberately pile such architectural effects in millinery on top of her head that the pleasure of every hapless person behind her at the play is turned into a sort of blind and hopeless misery. This ought to be the very strongest kind of argument, but everyone knows it is not, for it is weak from over use. But when you think of the individualities of these transgressors, you want to weep over them, pray for them and then if all this fafls, simply make them mad, and win that way. But all that kind of a thing is going to end now. It will no longer be considered gccd form for any woman to wear a hat to the theatre, which by any fair minded per- son could be called an obstruction. The public mind has been wrestling with this problem for a long time, and there are many women who have sensibly discarded the big hat. Still there are many women who still grievously sin in this direction, and the crusade this fall is to convert them so thoroughly to the error of their ways that they will either remove their objectionable tall hats or better still wear theater bon- nets. The Star has no particular brand of theater bonnet to recommend. It thinks the ladies are the judges of what will best suit each individual taste, but The Star is snugging right up to fashion and knows she will lend her all powerful aid in this. good cause. Come to think of it, fashion is not to blame for the tall hat at theaters any- way. The goddess, as tyranical as she is sometimes made out no more suggested that big hats were the proper thing for theater wear than she did that common sense walking shoes make the best dancing slippers. Fashion believes in variety, nay she insists on it, if her votaries are to be stars of the first magnitude, an therefore since the mind of woman runneth to the contrary, there have been evening bonnets kept as staples in every millinery em- perium. An Unnecessary Evil. Opinions have been asked on this sub- ject among the most traveled, fashionable and at the same time most frequent thea- ter-goers in this city, and with them all the sentiment is unanimous that the big hat is a nuisance, an unnecessary evil, and therefore ought to be done away with. At present any one who so thoughtlessly exhibits her sense of injustice and un- fairness by cutting the vision of another from a spectacle each has the same rights to see is knocking up against the good sense and good taste of a whole com- munity—and if she doesn’t look out she is going to get talked about. ‘There are many things in Washington society manners modeled on New York and the latter copies London in every essential. In London or in Paris, no lady with either a hat or a bonnet would be admitted to a box or orchestra stall. In both cities cab hire is so cheap that evening dress is gen- erally worn, for those who can buy theater tickets do not mind the small extra ex- pense of driving there. Cab hire is quite another thing here, and would cost as much, perhaps more, than two orchestra stats. Publie conveyances, therefore, are in more general use, and women feel out of place getting into a cable car or a her- die with light colored wraps ply ips and coiffed Some Practical Problems. It is one degree better to wear your ordi- nary hat and remove it in the theater, but | to care for it ts considerable of a nutsance, |and that {s one reason why women who have made the error in wearing a big hat hate to take it off. A man suggests that an employe of the theater be stationed at the door to take from each lady her objection- able big hat, give her a check for the same and the hat back after the performance. ‘The “fun of Cork” would not be in it, watch- ing the weary waiting of the women for their hats and the more weary walters for the women. No sensible woman would go through it twice. Nobody cares just how the thing is ac- complished, so It is, But perhaps a better way is suggested by women who are inter- ested. With the fashionable bonnet at its present size none but the most inveterate growler can possibly call it an obstruction. A single rose, or, perhaps, two of them, or a couple of pansies and a bow of ribbon, does duty for most of the prettiest bonnets. ‘The style 1s rather to encircle the feminine brow than to surmount it by an airy struc- ture of lace and posies. Welcome the tiny evening bonnet, which will restore peace of mind, ease of vision and allow everybody THe GojCeRT - who goes to the play to see it all—not bits or snatches, but all of it. A Woma: Views. ‘To the Editor of The Evening Star: ‘The popular columns of The Star offer an admirable arena for the citizens of Wash- ington to discuss their rights, privileges and grievances, and to speak of existing wrongs, inconveniences and nuisances. Ministers, Politiclans and physicians are not freed from its luminous rays, whether comment on their dogmas, creeds and practice comes from friendly or unfriendly lamps. The Star's columns also give a daily pan- oramic view of life in Washington, discuss- ing all matters of popular interest to its citizens, whether it relates to “bread,” Lon- nets or street cars; to piety, politics or smallpox. Without infringing upon your crowded space a woman desires, in rising to a ques- tion of personal privilege, to address The Chair which holds the gavel over your con- tributions and through him the lady patrons of the theaters in this city. The subject under discussion is the the- ater hat. While fashion seems to make it imperative that the custom of wearing large hats should be observed, it is a positive in- convenience, if not an actual annoyance, to those seated in the rear, to say nothing of the discomfiture of our gentlemen friends for whose enjoyment we have as much re- gard as for cur own satisfaction with the play. The charge is untrue that women are inconsiderate of the pleasure of their gen- tlemen friends, and especially their gallant escorts at the theaters. c This woman speaks cut boldly for their discontinuance. She has more than once been the victim in the. “back seat.” Let beauty go to the cheaters unadorned. No hat of whatever shape, color or fashion can rival in appearnce the well dressed hair on the shapely heads of our many amiable brunettes and blondes. If a head covering be necessary let it be a small jaunty bonnet, or, better still, a well wrought fascinator of an ucceptable color, which 1s so becoming to all our fe- male friends, and whi if desired, can be so readily removed. Reforms come slowly. We cannot hope to see this practice immediately relinquished; but at this capital city, popular with actors who are greeted with appreciative audi ences, it is proper that this reform should begin. 1 am gratified to state that at a per- formance witnessed this week this nuisance was less noticeable than before. As the “cussin’” and “discussia’” on the popular subject of bread closes and we welcome peace and a 4-cent loaf, let us reform in another direction and leave o:f a custom which entails a sacrifice of cost, comfort and common sense. The theater hat must go. M.S. M. ‘Yo the Editor of The Evening Star: I have read with interest the articles pub- Ushed at intervals m the papers against that intolesable nuisarce—the theater hat— the more so, that I started the crusade some two years ago, in an article entitled “Apropos of Theater Hats.” I have felt that it was a hopeless cese, but of late the war has waxed fast and furious, and I have been an interested looker-on. Success to such warfare. In reading the article “The Theater Hat Again,” in The Star of the 26th, in which wishes “to hear from the women—if they have anything to say” (and I think he will find they have), I was delighted to see just under his ar- ticle that a plucky woman (I take “A.” to be such) has been heard from, and in no uncertain tone. From my standpoint—and that of many others, I have no doubt—I consider that no lady ever docs wear a high hat to the theater. The person (for I honor the rame of “women” too highly to call her that) who goes to the theater with a hat whese structure is a source of annoyance and discomfort to others is one in whom exists no sensitive or refined feel- ing. She is emphatically a “person,” and one of very objectionable type. In this out- rage on the public, in which, alas, the rain falls on the just and the unjust altke, I cannot but see a Nemesis. As no lady will wear a hat of outrageous dimensions to the theater or other place of entertainment or instruction, so it is just as true that no gentleman goes out between the acts for a smoke or for refreshment of the inner man. ‘The true lady or gentleman respects the rights of others. That is the true. test; money, position, or any other advantage being outside matters. We have suffered years from this infliction—this exodus be- tween acts—and it has been a surprise to me that this side of the question has not been aired before in the public prints. I am glad “A.” has the courage of her con- victions, if “A.” be a woman, as I take it. It “A.” be a man, he has a sense of justice which is delightful. In the many years in which I have been a theater-goer I have observed the rule of either wearing a very small and close hat or of removing the hat altogether, and, individually, I have never been so unfortunate as to have an escort— hether husband or friend—who was so allant as to leave me during the even- ing; but from men accompanying other wo- men or attending the theater in groupe I have suffered ceaseless annoyance. If it is wearisome and cramping to men to sit out the whole play, is it not equally so to women? And wkat of the spirit that leads a man to take a woman to a place of pub- Me amusement and leave her to sit alone and endurg alone ennui and discomfort a fair proportion of that evening? I wish we had such accommodation as would enable all, in company, to go out between the acts to the “foyer,” such as can be done abroad or in some of the larger cities in this coun- try; but, as this 1s not possible, let us, at least, observe the commen decencies of life in dealing with our fellow-man or woman at the theater and elsewhere. If no man will take to the theater any woman who wears such a hat as the one under discus- sion, and no woman accept as her escort one who places so small a value upon her attractions, and who thinks so little of her comfort, as to leave her during the even- ing for other attractions, I think this mat- ter of the theater nuisance—whether em- bodied in man or woman—will right itself; if not—the deluge. MIRIAM LESTER. A Way Out of the Difliculty. To the Editor of The Evening Star: A letter from a geatleman signing him- self “Spectator,” which appeared in The Star October 25, made me open my eyes. “The towering monstrosities,” It said (mean- ing theater hats), “required so many fast- enings that the wearers couldn't remove them and resume them without time and trouble.” Now, I am, fortunately, one of the gentler sex, and it requires neither time nor trouble for me to don and doft my headgear. I want to tell Mr. Spectator of @ discovery I made today. Tuis morning, in search of a fall hat, I called upon a milliner not far from the Shoreham. While there I cought sight of a dainty little turban:* 1 think it was made out of a silk handker- chlef—a little contrivance that would make a plain woman look pretty,.and a pretty one simply angelic, On inquiry I was told that it wasnot a theater hat, as 1 supposed, but was made expressly to be worn to the theater and removed in the lobby. My in- formant rolled the turban up into little ball and showed me how it might be stowed away in an escort’s pocket; or even in the opera-glass case of Its fair owner. She told me that they ‘were recelving numerous orders for these turbans, which are the very latest thing, and that this one was for a young lady who spent so much of her time abroad that she had adopted many foreign customs, among them, she never, worg a hat to the theater. Whats béautifur and un- selfish form for a case of Anglomania to take! Now, Mr. Spectator, ‘what do you say to this for a way out-of<the difficulty? DAISY BELL, What the Managegs Might Do. To the Editor of The Evening;Stay: 5 There is but one remedy for this tall-hat nuisance, and thus far it appears to be the only one, It is not the Woman who is in fault, itis the manager ‘of the theater. If he would have a reception rbom off to one sidé of the entrance where ladies could go and Jeave thelr wraps gnd yhats, and ar- range their Wahgs becomingly, without having to pay extra, it would not be long before the hue and cry would subside against the large hat. It would cost a theater but Httle more to have a woman in attendance to check wraps,and hats and look after things generdily,tand it, would add greatly to the comfort’ of its patrons of both sexes, A woman, asa rule is not |, so flush with money, when she pays her own way to the theater, as to want to lay out anything extra to have some one care for her necessary out-door apparel; very often, after she has gotten the tickets, she has not enough left for car tickets save one way, and she walks to the theater and rides home; in fact, there are many women who, if it were not so late, would walk home again in order to save that § cents, for even 5 cents ts not to be despised by a great many who, to all appearances, have all that is needful to make life comfortable. Of course it would be in accordance with the gentle, considerate nature of a woman, that tradition has handed down to us, if she would take off her hat and look like a witch for two or three hours in order to save the feelings of her fellow beings in the back row, but the desire to appear at her best is born in her, and it is doubtful, under present circumstances, whether any headway can be made, or whether many will follow the lead of the few who have hair that will stand the taking off of the hat without leaving the wearer a “sight” in the eyes of all men, for women, after all, don’t count much. Let the managers of the theaters strive to do their share in discouraging the large hats, and undoubtedly the women will do their part, for the majority of women look better without a hat than with it.

To the Editor of The Evening Star: The persistent fight you have made through the columns of your paper has re- sulted in a reduction made, at a meeting by the employing bakers, in the price of bread to 3 cents per loaf, and the retail price to- day 1s, or should be, 4 cents. It is a cus- 4om of many storekeepers, on account of the very low price at which ft can be bought, lo use as wrapping paper for bread old newspapers that have been accumu- lating in houses and are gathered together and sold to such as will buy them for this purpose. A word in your columns will stop this practice. BAKER. paket “See One Who Has Saffered. To the Editor of The Evening Star: I should like to add a word to what has already been said about ladies wearing large hats at the theater. While attending the theater recently a lady with an immense hat occupied the seat immediately in front of me. There were two bows across the front and they stood up perfectly straight. My view of the stage was completely ob- scured, and I asked her if she would re- move her hat, but she did not. Now, is it right for any one to willfully obstruct the view of another purposely? Won't the ladies kindly take the hint and, if they have not sthall hats, take ‘them off upon entering? 1 know that.you. can see the equity of this suggestion. H.W. 8.

The improvement of the grounds of the American University and the beginning of the buildings have been somewhat delay- ed, partly by reason of the recent financial depression and partly by the question of grade in important avenues In that section of the city. The extension of Nebraska avenue in the direction of the Lough- borough road and across it has altered the site of at least one building. It was the criginal intention to build some of them facing the Loughborough road, but now the plan will be changed. The grading of Mas- sachusetts ayenue extended is another factor, involving, as it does, the question ef whether the high ground will be ma- terially cut down. Frederick Law Olmsted & Co, of Boston, the landscape artists, have the plans near- ly completed for the grounds and location of buildings. The architects are also at work on plans for three buildings, namely the administration, chapel and_ historical and library buildings It is confidently expected that the corner stone of the first named structure will be laid in the early spring, or possibly sooner. It was to have been laid last March, but the changes mentioned have delayed it. ‘The event, when it does come off, will be made a great occasion in this city. The administration building, the first one to be begun, is to be of stone, highly ornamente and over 200 feet long. The library w follow. next, though the chapel, unless some individual comes to the university's aid, will not be started for some time. In addition to the site and the $500,000 previously pledged, a resident of this city has given $0) toward the grading of the grounds. Bishop John F. Hurst has re- ceived subscriptions toward the Asbury Hall of $2,500 from the southeastern Indi- ana conference, The Tennessee (colored) conference has contributed $560, and the east Tennessee (white) conference $465. Dr. Beiler, the vice chancellor, during his re- cent trip to the northwest, received from one man, who will not allow either the name of his city or his own name to be made public, an agreement to endow a scholarship to the amount of $10,000. The scholarship ts to be Hmited to a northwest college. He also secured the making of a will ‘in favor of the university to the amount of $25,000. The same party is also contemplating giving $25,000 more, but has not fully decided. The plan of the university will include ] at least fifteen great departments, each with ity #éparate building and corps of in- structors. All will, however, be co-related and combined. As is well known, the pur- pose is the training of specialists in all lines of professional and technical educa- tional work. pact Ee THE PRESIDENT’S DUTY. Mr. Meredith Says He Should Vote for K Hill. The Virginia Democratic Association held a rally in the shape of a reception at its headquarters, No. 910 Pennsylvania avenue, last night,and its members and their guests cheered Congressman Meredith to the echo when he declared that President Cleveland should have stopped in New York and reg- istered, and then gone back when the time came and yoted for David B. Hill. “It is Grover Cleveland’s bounden duty to indorse Mr. Hill,” said Mr. Meredith. “The fact that he is’ President increases rather taan, lessens his responsibility. If he is the démocrat he ought to be he ean find no excuse for faltering or hanging back from the support of the straight ticket in his own state, upon which he has been so many times elected to office. Those who be- lieve that these remarks constitute treason may make the most of it.” "The audience enthusiastically approved the sentiments enunciated, and the assocla- tion unanimously shouted aye when Prest- dent H. L. Biscoe called for its decision on a resolution sending the association's greet- ing “to David B. Hill in his splendid fight against the enemies of democracy,” and ex- tending sincere and heartfelt wishes for his triumphant success. Previous to Mr. Meredith's speech and the adoption of the resolutions, there were many speeches delivered by many- other party leaders in the Old Dominion, all of which breathed loyalty to Jacksonian prin- ciples, and were replete with objurgations to Virginians $o.go.home and vote and in- stre a contintiance in Congress of men who represented ideas consistent with their own. Among those who spoke were Judge John Goode, Joseph E. Willard, James P. Jef- fries, Walter Moore and Samuel Brent. The 500 persons present were entertained with true Virgina hospitality after the speechmaking was concluded at a collation which almost reached the proportions of a banquet. ae Smallpox cannot affect you if your system is in order.
