The conviction of three ballot-box stuffers is a fact that cannot be cried down. That their nefarious work was done by the | dictation and order of some one higher than they in the S);stem ' which runs this city and makes its government a reproach goes without saying. The higher source of the corruption for which these three convicts are suffering punishment may never be known by ab- solute proof, but this by no means disproves the fact. Such crimes are not committed and such risks are not taken by men of low de- gree as a voluntary matter and a spontaneous manifestation of crim- inal viciousness. They are committed in discharge of an obligation, in obedience to an order and in pursuance of a plot, originating far . beyond the low instruments of the offense. It is the certainty that this is so that nerves the reform move- ment to go on unabashed by the present failure to find the real source of the corruption. Such source exists, and to finally eradicate it is the duty that the Republican League has set for itself to dis- charge. Its duty will be done and its aim will be accomplished.

EDDY’'S LAST " WORD NOT SPOKEN To the Editor of The Call: Under the heading., ‘‘Valedictory of Mrs. Eddy,” a Boston dispatch in te- day's issue of your paper stated that “Mrs. Mary Baker Eddy, founder of the the last word she will give during her life to her followers throughout the world.” If this were true it would indicate that Mrs. Eddy had nothing further of inter- est or importance to communicate to the world. On the contrary, I am advised to- day by Alfred Farlow of Boston that the ctatement quoted above is not correct, and that Mrs. Eddy will see reporters when it pleases hey. As the newspapers have always been ‘glad to publish any statement which Mrs. Eddy has made to them in the past, there is no doubt that any further communication she may give them will receive the same courteous con- sideration.

THE BRODERIE PATTERNS OF OUR GRANDMOTHERS. The pierced or stiletto embroideries, such as grandmothers loved to make— we presume they loved the work from the quantities of it their wardrobes i showed, but it was certainly a rather trying form of needlework—have swept | all before them this summer. Not only are they seen on cambrics and linens, | but on silk as well. An effective blouse is of white raw silk, the yoke quaint- 1y pointed and extending in a panel to the waist line in front and back. The body of the blouse is shirred on beneath the yoke point and the sleeve tops shirred in corresponding fashion. The sleeves are double puffs, gauntlet cuffs to the elbow. The entire design is in the plerced work, the edges of the yoke and panel being buttonholed with charming effect. with long - + BY DOROTHY FENIMORE. e e e | HERE has come to me across the sea a published editorial sugges- tion that I will explain, if I can, why it is that women have shown so mueh morbid curiosity concerning Johann Hoch, the polygamist and uxoricide, recently brought to trial and convicted in Chicago for his crimes. The undeserved slur upon my sex which the article contains persuades me to pick up the glove. Curiosity in regard to freaks of na- ture is not a peculiarly feminine trait. The dime museum and the sideshow at the circus have as many men as women among their patrons, if not more. In- deed, maternal foresight teaches women to glance away from visible abnormal- ity, and, when confrgnted, with deform- ity, to look with the spiritual eye for some beauty beneath it, which the physical eye cannot see. Deformity of mind . soul is less hkely to shock a woman, however, un- less it affects her personal destiny, simply because she does not fully un- | derstand it. The majority of our American women look upon life with the simplicity of children, to whom a fact is a fact, and not a sign-post. They are wonderfully unsophisticated and innocent, and often what seems In their comduct like an expression of morbid curiosity is noth- ing but a misdirected effort to get away from the humdrum routine of their daily life. Undoubtedly some women went to the trial of Johann Hoch in the same spirit which actuates those of their sisters who read French novels for the mere sake of coming close—but not too close —to a fascinating naughtiness which s entirely out of range of their own experience. T remember once hearing a really good little woman say that she liked to read a bad book now and then be- cause It made her feel so clever. She did not seem to realize that in giving it the sanction of her attention she was making herself party io the evil deeds it chronicled. | | | But to many other women the Hoch trlal was nothing more than a free show, which furnished more genuine torills than vaudeville or melodrama. Their anticipatory mood is as innocuous and insipid as this: “I bave nothing to do to-day. Where shall I go? I be- Heve I will visit the Hoch trial. I wonder what that man looks like any- way, that he could get so many women to marry him?” You see, in real life there are very few men who have overpowering per- sonality. Yet literature is full of such, and they are fascinating figures with whom any woman might fall in love at first sight. Now, from the evidence of his conquests Johann Hoch must be- long in this category; surely there must be something about him which dis- tinguishes him from common men. Is it so strange that a foolish woman may reason this, if she has never seen low life, and knows nothing whatever of the forces that govern degenerate hu- man nature? I am truly sorry to see any of my countrywomen, for whom I have great | respect, showing this lack of good sense and good taste. To study evil idl¥, without a fixed purpose of doing.one's small part toward bettering the race, is more than a mistake; it is a wrong to one’s self and to on neighbors. Especially is this true in regard to women. Religion and love and child- hood are in their keeping, and if they are to fulfill their noblest mission they must keep their hearts pure and their minds clean.
