THE R1CII3IOND PALIAmU3I AND S CX-TEL.EG RA3I THURSDAY, DECEMBER 29. 1910.

SPEAKERSHIP OF LEGISLATURE IS A ' WARM . CONTEST Two Present Leaders in the Race, Vcneman and Wise, Will Not Land the Office They Are Seeking.

(Continued from Page One.) a man seta on Boehne'a Index be never gel a away, and that over 60,000 names are on Boehne'a mailing lists. To such a man the opportunities of a atrateglcal position like the speakership mean much, a fact both be and bis opponents realise. With this situation existing the four men who are running upon their merits feel they have tho control. They will receive the support of the Wise forcea before Veneman, and If Veneman drops out bis strength would go to one of them before It would to Wise. The strength of either the Veneman or Wise forces plus the votes of those who are not In favor of letting the governor's fight decide the speakership are enough to keep either Wise or Veneman from winning. FADS AND FASHIONS Nw York, Dec. 29. During Christmas week, the New York shops all have "clearance sales" to get rid of the holiday left overs, but these mean little save to the woman of small pocket book. The great occasion for women who follow the modes is the week following when the first of the spring fabrics are placed on view. Next week we shall see the new muUe and muslins, new silks, new ribbons and laces, new linens, and new hats. Then will come a short period of entirely new things in hato, wraps and frocks. They will be copies of tho advance styles sent by the great kings and queens of the dress making world to the smart winter resorts as "try outs." If they take, they will continue as the authoritative modes for spring, If they do not well, If the do notthen, their best features will be combined in now modes, which we shall be compelled to adopt because it will be too late for another period of trying out and the latest arrivals will b ethe tentative styles of spring, subject, of course to such variations as the individual taate dictates. In spite of all that has been said and written against the present styles no person with a love for the rich and beautiful can see a gathering of truly fashionable women this winter and not be struck with their extreme gracefulness. Since the fad for skirts of hysterical scant ness passed, skirts have been growing more and more graceful. Skirts are still narrow and a woman might not wish to take a step that Is over long in her best gown but they are far from being an outrage against good tsste. There are still to be found the leading modes, rich combinations of cloth and fur. A splendid model which can to be sure, be duplicated In less expensive fabrics is of ruby colored cloth, the skirt being banded with ermine, while over, it falls a tunic of soft ruby velvet caught together at the sides with passementerie frogs and cords. A cord makes an odd fin Ish for the girdle. Cord and cable trimmings are very popular. . . The waist is of chiffon over silk and the velvet collar and the sleeves are banded with ermine. The bat also has a band of ermine. A bag of ermine is part and parcel of the costume. There seems to be a real epidemic among the coutoleres to attach tunics to all their modes. One sees tho tunic both long and short, and of medium length also. The sensible proportion seems to the knees, however, although the bottom is finished Irregularly, per haps rounded at the back and front. or square front and back and dipping at the sides. Nothing Is in such poor tsste as regularity In the world of dress. REAL ESTA TE TRANSFERS Fred Desselman to Llxzie S. Johnson. July 20, 1810. 40. Lot 764. Beallvlew. Thos. Maher to Geo. W.

NEW YEAR EVE IN HAPPY OLD GOTHAM (American News Service) New York. Dec. 29. All the big hotels and restaurants in the metropolis are making extra arrangements for the entertainment of their guests and patrons on New Year's Eve. At all the leading hostelries the demand for table reservations is reported - to be greater than ever before, from which It would appear that the action of the police commissioners in withholding many all-night liquor permits is not expected to place much of a damper on the festivities. Music will enter largely Into the programs this year as the Plajsa. the Waldorf-Astoria, the Hotel Astor. the St. Regis, the Knickerbocker and other big hotels. Many novelties for the night are being prepared by the sJanageraent of the new Rector's and the Ritz Carlton, which have only recently been opened to the public. Appraeiatid at Home. In Denver are a couple of sisters who are trying to make a living as artists. Their father, who lives In another town. Is fairly well to do, and not a month goes by but what the girls have to write borne for money with which to pay expenses. Recently one of the girls saw a little story in a magazine and thought It funny. In It one man asks another how his son Is getting along In. the city. "Very well Indeed, replied the other. "He's progressing. Now he's spending only $10 a week more than he earns." The girl cut the story out and sent It to her father. It hadn't been mailed an hour when she received a clipping from bim. it was the same story. DenTer Times. -

SIGHT ARMED SHIP And Honduras, Trembling, Awaits the Hornet.

f American News Service). Puerto Cortez, Honduras, Dec. 29. An armed chip believed to be the filibuster Hornet, which sailed with arms and ammunition for the. Honduran revolutionists, has been sighted off Manabique, Guatemala, according to a report reaching here today. The Hornet is far better manned and armed than the Honduran "battleship" Tatumbla, which is at sea to attack the filibuster. This city is In a state of terror as an attack Is expected momentarily from the rebels. There are about 500 Davilla troops in entrenchments about the city, but owing to reports from New Orleans, the Hornet carries a number of big guns capable of demolishing the place. . Business is at a standstill and many of the residents have fled. A WIFE MURDERER TO BE EXECUTED . 'American News SerVlce) Law ton, Okla.. Dec. 29. All preparations are complete for the execution in the jail here tomorrow , of John Hopkins, who is to pay the death penalty for the murder of his wife. The crime was convicted more than three years ago and the case was carried to the highest courts-in a vain effort to save the convicted man from the gallows. To Unionize Working Girls. In a report made to the Central Federated union Miss Leonora O'ltellly of the Women's Trade L'nion league said that the league had formed a- large committee to organize thoroughly the 800.000 working girl in Oreater New York. With this end in view, she said, the city Is to be divided Into districts, each member of the committee to be In charge of a district. A POTENT FORCE. If the members, of organized labor bad from the beginning been true to themselves In purchasing only good bearing the union label there would not be many unfair employers today. Just because many have -been remiss in this duty Is no reason why tbey should always be so. The movement Is now very large and powerful, and ff all begin now to rightly use their purchasing power the conditions surrounding the working class can be almost' revolutionized in X X X X five years.

WOMAN SUGGESTED MOTHERS' SCHOOLS

Noted Educator Says Such Institutions Should Be Established Soon. St. Louis. Mo.. Dec 29. Agricultural colleges teach the care of pigs and calves. Why shouldn't schools of domestic science and home economics teach the care of babies? Aren't the babies as important as pigs and calves? Dr. Edna D. Day, of the uni.ersity of Kansas, wants to know. She is working to establish a school for prospective mothers at the university. She is a delegate to the convention of the American Home Economics association, and she is the originator of the idea of a school for mothers. She thinks young women should be taught before marriage: What to do when baby is teething. How to cure colic. How to avert forced marches at night. What to reply when baby says "dada" the first time. How to come through the second summer without suffering nervous prostration. Orphans for Laboratory Work. "My plan is to have a supply of infants from orphan asylums for labora tory . work," said Dr. Day. "The students could care for these, learn the principles of food selection and how to meet the domestic crises baby duly presents. "In the university this would have the added advantage that wives of the faculty could leave their children at the laboratory when they wanted to go calling in the afternoon. Every mother should be free of the care of her child for a few hours daily anyhow. "To leave the baby out of a domestic science course is like leaving Hamlet out of the play. We teach young women to care for the home and neglect to teach them to care for the little life which should be the center of every home. It strikes me as absurd. "Of course, there is this difficulty: Few girls would care to take up such a study with the candid admission that they were fitting themselves for the responsibilities of motherhood. But they could pretend that they were studying to become nurses in the homes of the rich folks at large salaries and they could do that work, of course, if they chose. Training for Motherhood. "It is not my idea to train children's nurses, but to train young women for motherhood. There are now three or four places in the United States where young women are taught the caro of babies, but tbey are recruited for the most part from the servant classes, i and they do not take up- the study with the thought of becoming wives ani mothers. The university-bred woman is the one we need to reach. "Until recently it has been assumed that a woman knows instinctively how to care for her offspring. "We now know that this is not true. If girls could be taught in advance it would save much unhappiness and suffering certainly and perhaps some lives." ) X rniffVPAr imforc t urn riuii Luiara Are the best bifocal lenses made. 7 Let us show you samples before buying your next pair.

MAY SOUND DOOM OF COLLEGE GAME The committee of Indiana college

presidents appointed about two weeks ago to discuss the advisability of the substitution of the game of rugby for American football met at Indianapolis on Thursday, There is a sentiment for changing the game and It would not be surprising if the committee came to such agreement.
