STREET LINES. A matter which is directly before the cltizens at the present time is the establishment of street lines in the business section of the city. ~Such, a necessity has often been recognized but has undergone deay after delay, getting little serious consideration ex- <ept when the negligence is called to attention by the non-existence of such action. Bvery now and then property owners and citizens in general are surprised to learn that certain build- ings do not come out to property lines and that the owners, contemplating a new building or alterations, are pre- pared to build out into what is now the sidewalk, for the further encum- brance of the already top . narrow streets. 1t ig this very question which the common council will consider in an adjourned session tonight concern- ing Franklin street where the effort of thé past ten years for the proper widening of the street has just reached its final stages. The fact cannot be lost sight -of that such is the property .of the owner who has a right to build thereon, but detriment to the street and to the neighboring property should be taken into_ consideration, while the benefits leaving existing property lines, where regular, should not be overlook- The city has the right to establish street lines for the .purpose of uni- formity. With the idea of carrying out this policy a great number of owners have given to the city such narrow strips of frontage, but itsis painful to think what might be de- manded by property owners should they insist upon building to their lines or collecting entire alteration expenses from the city. It is even worse to think what would be the appearance of our streets with the possible ir- regular lines. HALF-BAKED LEGISLATION, Congress s being kept in session through the summer for the purpose of taking action upon the anti-trust dills, which bills are being hurriedly rebullt for early and quick action and about which very little is likely to be known if they are passed within the present session. Tt is but natural therefore that Sen- ator Brandegee should enter a protest against the disposal of speh vital mat- ters in such a hasty minner and that he should term such legislation as half-baked. In state as wel] as nation it Is well Known what the effects of half-baked legislation are, and how important it is that it should be avoided at every opportunity. It is desirous that time be not wasted, but there should e sufficient time glven to important measures to know what is being done and what the meaning and effect of wiil be. There are reasons to believe that the' senator is giving fair warn- ing when he says if it was “under- stood what this dose of health to the poor business man was to be they would see that their only salvation 18 t,nlp this sort of legislation in the ud,"to brand it as undemocratic and un-American and tyrannical, and in- stead of trying to get this bill amend- ed here and there they would scotch it right at its birth.” ‘The time to find, out the character of such ledislation is when 1t is in process of making, ‘and after it fs determined what the proposals are go- ing to be there should be sufficlent time to understand the purpose and the result, even though it has to go over \,ntll the next session, O S TR CALLS FOR AN APOLOGY, . The outcome of the negotiatieps which have been underway 'Detween Messrs. Duell and Roosevelt in behalt of the endorsement of District Attor- ney Whitman for governor of New York state reveals nothing to the credit of Colpnel Roosevelt. In this connection it must be remembered that as the result of the Duell efforts sev eral w derogatory to Whit- for t! .mqflbyw or Tmust bring. ‘| best understood by the railroad men, q’-t cause, but _ overstepped. the.bounds with the t that Mr. Whitman has been left unscathed while the colonel has pulling Into an unjustified at- upon a worthy candidate and one ‘who should receive the support of every Wl of boss _rule. Mr. uumm There are M places which are likely to feel' the effects of poli- ties more than those which have to do with the fight forgjustice and the gervice rendered by Mr. Whitman forms the best basis for judgment. He deserves an apology from the An- antas club organize: ‘WISE CHANGE OF MIND. Nothing more detrimental to thels interests could have been uttered by the engineers and firemen of the western rallroads than their declara- tion that arbitration would not be con- sidered in the adjustment of their de- mands end that the only alternative to the granting of their proposition was a . strike. It was against all reasonable consideration of such a matter and particularly surprising because of the spirit’ which was man- ifested. The reconsideration of their attitude is a sensible step and it is In fact the proper thing to do when they agree to accept the good offices of the fed- Justment of the situation. This, of course means that the demands are due to receive a fair consideration and that the unjust accompaniments of a strike are to be avoided. Whatever the demands are, whether reasonable or not, they are bound to get the most tmpartial judgment when submitted to disinterested people and only justice should be sought in such a matter. Such also means that the public, which is served by the roads, is not going to be made to suffer the loss and inconveniences which a strike ‘Whether the time is ripe for the making of such demands is perhaps ‘but with the fight which is being made increased rates to meet past grants | itywould appear to be unseasonable, but even such can be determined best by the facts. HELPING PRISONERS. When an opportunity for rendering a most valuable service for the up 1ift of the fallen and the lending of en- couragement for the mending of evil ways, is sought, it is doubtful if there is any greater or better field for ac- tivity than that of work among the prisoners. This great army .of people is not wholly bad and not beyond re- clamation, as is frequently revealed. They have seen the seamy side of life and among them there is always a large number whe— need only the proper attention and aid to inspire them to higher things, such as great- er respect for fellowmen, laws and themselves. There is no question but what the effort which has been started in New York city to such an end, through find- ing work for such discharged prison- ers as are considered worthy of the | recommendation of the authorities, wilh| result in a sufficient amount of. good | to pay for the undertaking. Such is in a measure the jpurpose of prison aid associations, of which this state-has one that is performing a valuable ser- vice. A great many prisoners can be- come confirmed criminals because of the Delief that they cannot live down the past and because of the fact that their prison record often bars them from employment. To such the as- sistance and encouragement which can be given during their incarceration and the help and recommendation which can be extended as they step out into the world again, are sufficient to en- tirely remodel a career which has been badly started. It is a benefit which eandidacy. Icredn one to nu.rl,y every county in founded every prisoner should have presented to him. EDITORIAL NOTES.

It can to a great extent by rubbing the shiny spots with very fine, black emery paper, that can be purchased at any hardware store for a few cents. PATCHWORK. There is nothing like the old-fash- ioned patchwork . quilt for use with a four-post bed. Even though the bed be a copy only of the antique, the quiit needs to be of the same era, es- pecially if the room is furnished with rag rugs. Now and then at fairs and among privatte customers one finds a woman who knows how to make rag carpets and mats, and there is noth- ing more appropriate for the bedroom floors of the summer cottage. Patchwork has periodical revivals, but even then it is never entirely out of fashion. Many women today hoard scraps of silk for this purpose ag their mothers, grandmothers and Rrear- grandmothers did before them. It is possible to keep pieces of cer- tain colors for certain quilts, ,thus using blue and white for one ‘room or pink and white for anofher. Ap- pliques cut from -flowered cretonnes are charming on dimity bedspreads. In the time of our grandmothers the flowers and leaves hal to be labor- iously cut of colored patches, then be fitted tdgether with unfinitesimal stitches. The writer possessed a womn- derful bedspread of 1ed popples and green leaves and stems, worked into a border all the way around the spread. Squares of patchwork were the first sewing put into the hands of tiny maidens in those days and served as a daily “stint” for years to come. T -l PLATINUM RINGS. The up-to-date bride is married with a band of platinum, which has taken the place of the band of gold at many { fashionable weddings. To the bride who oherishes tradition the platinum wedding ring is not welcome. For zenerations the ring has been of gold and, to the traditional bride's mind, for generations more it should be gold. It is this sort of bride who prefers a solitaire diamomd to everything else for an engagement ring. In spite of her sentiment for the old and accepted, the platinum ring has advocates among the brides who are seeking change, HEALTH AND BEAUTY. Kerosone will clean your hands bet- ter than anything else after blacking a range or stove. Pour a l.ttlé in the water, wash your hands in it, then wiish ‘them in tepid water and finally with plenty of soap and a stiff nail brush in hot water. Finish up by rub- bing the hands with lemon juice, rose- water or glycerin. / darken the brows and lashes and will not injure as a dye does. Make a mixture of a dram of red vaseline and one grain of sulphate of quinine. This is put on night and morning, leaving some of the grease in the skin. Al- ways rub the brows in the direction in which they should grow. If you are doing housework, try to soil your hands as little as possible. While dusting and sweeping or doing any dry, dirty work, wear a loose pair of old kid gloves. Rubber gloves are no longer very expensivi provide yourself with a pair these and use them while washing dishes or any work that demands the use of strong soap and water. To, prevent sunburn entirely tender skin is almost impossible. But it can be greatly lessemed by using a cream on the face before going out in the strong sunlighti Cover the face and neck (if the neck is to be‘exposed) with a cream, rub it in for a few moments, then wipe it all off, but not too thoroughly, then use a good face powder. When you return, use the cream and powder again. If your face should become chapped bathe it with very hot water. on a THIMBLES, Thimbles, which are about 230 years old, are-supposed to have come -origi- nally from Holland, where they were called finger hats, or finger hoods. In England the name was changed to thumb bell, because the thimble was worn on the thumb to protect it from the thrust of the needle, not to propel thé latter through the cloth. Thp fashion of gold thimbles per- sists even today. but in the beginning there was none of the commoner met- als and it was not until several years later that the first lead thimble was made. Silver is stlll the favored met- al though many a skiliful seamstress prefers a penny aluminum thimble as being lighter and leavipg no mark upon the finger. The costly thimble still holds its | suitable effect, The continued use of grease will ! DICTATES OF FASHION.

The short bolero or Eton coat is not becoming to a stout figure with pro- nounced bust lines unless it clings along the curve of the figure. Few ready made coats will achleve this but if an invisible snap “fastener be attached under the edge of the coat and its button mate sewed to the waistcoat the two gar- ments will cling together as nicely as the coat and waistcoat of a cleverly built French tailleur. STIFFENING CURTAINS. ‘When doing up curtains at home if flour is used instead of starch the iron will not stick so much and the curtains will have more the appearance of new ones. One good tablespoonful of flour for each curtain is sufficient. Mix the flour to a thick paste with cold water; then put in the tub.and pour on as much boiling water as required for rinsing the curtains. IRON PONGEE DRY. To iron a natural colored pongee so as to preserve its beauty, iron it only when it is perfectly dry, and with an iron only moderately hot, as nothing scorches quite so easily as sllk. Do not sprinkle pongee, as the water spots never iren out. GREASE THE CORDS. To prevent window blind cords breaking, dust the cords and then rub them over with a well greased rag. The _snapping 1is caused by friction, which - impoverishes the cords, and they are further weakened by the sun and weather LATAS b NEEDLEWORK NOTES.

The scene was the Methodist church at Seneca Falls, N, Y., and the prime movers were Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Lucretia Mott. The little country church was crowded to the doors during the two days of the con- vention. Soma of the country's most notable men were present and Cheered when the “Declaration of Woman's Rights,” drawn up along the lines of the Declaration of In- dependence of the American Co onies, was promuigated.

One is that she must use no more flour than the recipe calls for, and the other is that she must keop the dough as cold as possible.

FAMOUS 'mms_l THE TRIAL OF GIBBS THE PIRATE During the early part of the past century piracy flourished quite prom- inently on the high seas and it was with great difficulty thgt it was finally wiped out. One of the most notorious of these pirates was Charles Gibbs, his real name being James D. Jeffers, and his native place Providence, R. I. For a number of vears previous to 1831, when he was apprehended, Gidbs startied the world by his boid and atrocious career on the high seas. For a long time his crime seemed to defy and baffle all the efforts of pursuit and retributive justice The culmination came, however, in November, 1830, in which month_there sailed from New Orelans for Phila- delphia the brig Vineyard, with Will- Willlam Roberts as mate, and a crew con- was five days out a young negro cook made it known that thers was ffty thousand dollars in specie on “The crew dlscussed the Iut!;r and | planned as to how they could secure | the “money. TFnally the resolve agreed to the crime of munhr and m night of Nov. hfl. The murder master was the agreement complished by Gibbs and ‘Wansiey, that of the mate by two others. rian was carried out. The pirates took vessel, and Wansley, the bueied himself in wiping up the blood that had been apilled on the deck. The money was secured and 4 suffrage has been presented before every national legislatvie body in the world, with the single eficep- tion of Turkey, during the past iwo years. The women of twenty- #ix nations_are handed together in an_alllance and are struggling for political recognition in their re- spective countries, In the field of “remunerative employments” today in the DUnited States there is one woman to every four men engaged in gainful oeccupations. Five per cent."of these women are married, and their voeations range from blacksmiths and roof-shinglers to bank presidents, architects and lawyers. s ‘When they were within twenty miies of the coast they took to the boats and the brig was ecuttled.
