Wiltfong, ireman at the axe handle factory, may well congratulate himself that he is alive, although he he 1s too severely cut and bruised to experience any but paicful sensations just at prescut. « While attending to his duties in the boiler room his clothing caught upon the end of a rapidly revolving shaft that projected through the wall from the engino room, and all that the victim knows about what happened is that his clothes suddenly tightened and he was lifted into the air. There was no witness to the accident, and shortly afterward, when another employe entered the room, he found the Hreman standing in the middle of the floor, i & dazed condi- tion, with the blood pouring from a gash in his head. Every stitch of clothing had been torn from bis body and the oaly thing that prevented his being whirled to death was the giving away of his clothes. How it hap. !wned that ho was thrown loose from the lying shaft is something that he canuot tell, Now that the excitement of the affair has died uway he finds that he is left very sore and badly bruised, although s injuries are not serious.

Democrats Disgusted with Justice MoHendry's Successor. JUDGE LEVY DON'T SUIT THEM, Bayliss Won't' Answer Johnsto Charges — Last Night's Athleti Entertainment-An Overcoat Thief Captured. MoHendrv's Resignation. The war horses of the democratic party commenced to emit blue streaks aboucd o'clock yesterday afternoon and about § o'clock at night the air in the vicinity of their forms had a sulphurous smell. They were kicking loud and hard, and before mid- night their mutterings became so pronounced that they could be heard in Sarpy county and in the suburban resorts of Papillion. It was all due to u little transaction that occurred at the meeting of the board of county commissioners yesterday afternoon Justice of the Peace McHendry resigned his office after a mouth's incumbency and ex- Judge Lovy was appointed in his place. It ‘was a surprise to everybody and a change that was known to only one or two South Omaha people before it occurred. McHendry was elected last fall after a hot contest that originated at the primaries and ended at the polls. His friends worked hard for him at his solicitation and elected him by a good majority: they expectea him to fill out his term with credit to himself, but a few weeks of official life was a sufiiciency for him and he resinged. It 1sn’t g0 much McHendry’'s resignation that is causing the kick but the successor se lected by the commissioners for the vacancy and the quiet way in which it was done. Levy is not overiy popular with his party, and if1t bad been known that McHendry was to resign they would huve made strong objections to Levy’s appointment. But the whole thing was worked 8o quietly and se- cretly that the party workers knew nothing of it until the whole thing was over. McHeudry has bought au Interest in an Omaha meat market and will return to his earstwhile occupation of butchering. Bayliss Won't Answer. ‘I'nose who were anticipating another mu- tilating of city affairs at Monday night's meeting of the city council are liable to dis- appointment. It was expected that ex- Councilman Bayhss would respond to Councilman Johnston’s speech of the last meeting, and would make o spirited defenso of the actions of the old council. Bayliss was seen yesterday and states that he has changed his mind in regard to the course he intended to pursue. He will not appear before Monday night's meeting or any other meeting, but will simply let the matter drop where it is. An Evening of Athletics, The rooms of the South Omaha athletic club were fairly well filled last night to wit~ ness the athletic entertainment prepared for their amusement. The programme con- sisted of sparring exhibitions between George Thomas and Dan Paul, Paddy Mur- ray and John McCarty, snd Pete Boyle and John Lane, An exhibition of club swinging was given by Cooney Shannon of Omaha, and dumb bell exercises were indulzed in by W. J. Palmer. Several other interesting features were on the programme, which lasted until a late hour. Out for a Merry Night, A well-filled carryall loaded with young people went out to the home of the parents of Deputy City Clerk Ryan, near Millard, 1ast night, to while away the hours in danc- ing and merriment, There were a dozen couples in all. They will return this morn- ing. Among the party were City Clerk Horton, Thomas O'Connor, John Ryan, Ruay Richmond, James Fleming and many others, with their ladies. Stole an Overcoat. A desire to shicld himself from the chill- ing effccts of the promised cold wave led Dan Gallagher to appropriate to himself an overcoat he found lying around loose in Michael Hirt's boarding house, at the coiner of Twenty-fifth and Q strects, For this in- discretion Dan_will have to answer the charge of petty larceny before Judwe King on Monday. He was arrested about 6 o'clock last night. Emmst's Anniversary.

In the professional field they shall keep school, putup drug prescriptions and be postmasters. These women are all proficient druggists ia this state: Miss Elednor S. Bird, Wa- terbury; Miss Sarah A. Troy, New Haven; Miss Lizzie A, Benton, Niantic; Miss Ellen L. Wilson, Rockville; Miss Sarah J, Adgate, Farmington, Miss Adgate is a graduate of the New York college of pharmacy. In the Connecti- cut schools there ara a host of charming young schoolmarms, and they are the sweelest, most piquant, and capable of pedagogues, to be found; they govern with a smile the tough, big boy that a male teacher has to larrup into subjec~ tion with a harness strap. But 1t is as a country postmistress that the Connec- ticut woman acquits hersell with sur- passing genius, and any one that has ever seen her at her post on the hither side of a letter-rack at one end of the country grocery counter, a five-months- old babe on one arm,its face streaked with a trail of commingled ginger- bread and molasses candy, while the other hypud and arm seaaches the postal and ociaeaper than Wyoming archives for postal cards, episties, and papers for all the country side, has missed a sight in versatile and diseur- sive accomplishments which the rest of the world can rnever furnish an -equivalent. The performance of their postoffice duties is only a feature, an incident of their rowine of daily work. '[hey are up at aaybreak every day, milk two or three cows, got tho breakfust for husband and “*hired man,” do up the housework, wash, sweep and sew, and at odd spells sell grocerie read all the postal cards and keep trac of everybody's letters faithfully, and receive, distribute and deliver the mails, Most of them get an income from the postoffice department of from $40 to 250 a year, and a reward of board and clothes and oceasional babies for their houschold services. They ave the mistressos of the little hamiet and cross-ronds’ offices far away among the country hills: of their number were the forty-two rural postmasters victimized by Paliser & Co. of New York, and who recently were mulcted by the govern- ment in fines of $50 and “costs in each case, for a technical breach of the postal law, most of the postmasters being as ignorant of the red-tape gov- ernmental regulation as they were in nocent of any design to break the law. Notwithstanding the multiplicity of their daily tasks, the courftry postiis- tresses discharge their duties efliciently and with surprising accuracy and dispatch. The town most famous for postmistresses in this state is the little one of Willington, among the bieak and lonely hills of Tolland county. The town is one of the small- est ones in Connecticut, but it has three in each one of which a post- presides, whose service, the government_inspectors say, ‘‘is most satisfactory.” Shall We Have Hoops Again Soon? Tt will carry women who are now grown back to days of girlhood to call up once again as a possible realty the hoops of twenty-five and thirty years ago. Itis strange thatin all the revi- vals and renewals and resurrections of styles that have been relegated to the garret nobody has yet thought of hoop: Ladies might revelin rufls, masquer- ade in Medicial collars, wear prepos- terous {xulms and adopt the most short- waisted of Empire gowns, but hoops were something so dreadful that no one seems to have thought of them as a se rious possibility, says the Philadelphia Times. And yet only a little reflection might show that in the ups and downs of crinoline this was to be expected, for there is nothing new under the sun, and as drapery a conventional matter no longer supposed to have any- thing todo with morals, the fashions are a rule, little more thau echoes of the fashions that were. The rumor comes from abroud, on what seems unquestioned authority that at last, after a quarter of a centur of servile devotion to the classic idea., fashion is about to take the one gr departure which w 11 wholly transform the belle of the dayfrom a seeming sylph into something resembling a bal- loon. The fiat has evidently goue forth by authority that hoops will again be worn, and the days of clinging skirts and of drapery disclosing the outlines of the figure at every turn are ovidently numbered. The first suggestions, scen in adyance of French fashion vlates and heard of as being worn by distinguished women both in Parisand in London, show only a moderate degree of rotund- ity and ‘but the faintest hint of the farthingale, but when once the sturt has been made it is only a question of time when this revival may be expected to *'spread itseif” in more ways than one. There is a certain consistency about it, for, with the high Elizabethan collars, pointed waists, feathered fans, and plumes and algrettes in the hair, skimpy ball skirts seem out of harmony and it needs but the swelling and pom- pous skirt to give the tume of toaay the full picturesque touch of the Elizabethan court or the stately days of Maric Antoinette. Theorigin of the hoopskirt isshrouded in as much mystery as many other things in history. It hus been claimed by some authorities that it wasinvented by two very stout women, who found their embon point so uncomfortable that they had skirts made oxtended by hoops at the bottom to wear in the se- clusion of their epartments, but ventu ing out in the garden of the Tuileri on u sultry summer day in their pecul- iar petticoats they were surrounded by acrowd of eurious people through which only the power of the gendarmes forced a passage for their retreat in confusion, and the next day all the court ladies wore skirts with a hoop. Others con- tend that hoops were evolved and re- ceived their suggestion from the pretty fulness of skirts invented by Watteau, and ip this connection, while many are still in clinging skirts, it is easy to sce that the transition to hoops will not be u difficult one from the Watteau st that are now the very highest fas| able vogue. G ris and Jewelry. Fashion makes certain wise laws for the wearing of jewelry. People who break these laws and assume 100 much are at once showing ignorance and lack of that fine taste which is at the heart of everything which fasbion dictates, says the Ladies’ Home Journal, You maty have rings innumerable—as many as the famous being who adorned h fingers and toes with them, but, that is no reason why you need look like a heathen goddess, or as il you were anx- ious to let all the world see at one time just how many golden circlets you pos- sessed. You, who have the beauty of youth, do not need to wear jewelry---a little ring if you will, a modest brooch, and perhaps & bangle on your wrist, but not an arm covered with them. There ie nothing more vulgar thun to have thirteen bangles as has one girl I know, who triumphantly points to them and tells of their being given each by a different admirer. Every time she an- nounces this fact she falls thirteen degrees lower in the mind of the Listen- er, and yet, although she is a quick- witted and a nice girl she doesn’t seem 10 comprehend that in exacting tribute from her men friends she isin a way, selling her smiles, Don’t weara ring on your forefinger and don’t believe, be- cause a fow actresses and women who think being odd is being individual, wear rlngu on their thumbs, that it is a proper thing for you to do, What is a Model Wife, Ladies Home Journal: A model wife is the woman in whom the heart of her husband doth safely trust.
