A PAPER FOR THE PEOPLE.

"Notes and Comment.

Don't forget that Christmas comes but one© a year. _____ Can't the weather bureau at least prediet a cold wave for us?

"He must have been a roan of experience who dabbed the baby carriage a crycicle."

It is possible tbat Ireland will fall down and worship Parnell. What then will become of the cause?

Jt is not too early to begin formulating those resolutions which are to transform you into a model character after January 1st, 1801.

Are you spending all tbe ready cash you can lay your hands on for Christmas gift*? If not yon are failing to grasp the complete spirit of the occasion.

Prof. Koch's consumption cure does not in any pha^» of interpretation lessen the necessity for au Indiana statute prohibiting cigarette smoking. Let that be distinctly understood.

Tho ambitious poet in despairing. •'Wild December," that most prolific theme for poetic outburst, insists on confining itself to "mild Decomber," and irt consequence sadness provudes tho Wabash valloy.

New York City is still bowling for a recount of her population. Really this demand is becoming quite as musty as some other songs with nothing In them, notably "Down Wont McGinty" and "Little Annie Rooney."

Pnrneil will send a deputation of "loy^ allsta" (to I'anioli) to America for the pursose of explaining his side of the question. Apparently heconslders himself the Irish fcanse for the advancement of which all tho world should loosen its pocket strings. This is modesty in a very perverted sense, to say the least.

Supremacy In municipal ylitue should undfiubt«dly «o U» Defoit» lor, according to tho New York SOti, t?on tout with draping the statues in their museum, tho Dotrolters are now waging war against a wooden leg lii stockings, which Is displayed by a wooden leg factory. We hope there will be a heavy fall of suow In Detroit soon, to cover tho blushes of her eitixena thrown lt»Ur confusion by tho sight of the bare ground."

Bill Nye is going on the stage next season to not only make something of himself and a play that he ha* written, but also to show the people of the nation how much one individual of the right sort can do toward elevating the stage. In this connection It might be announo od that he contemplates suing James WhUeomb Klley for $30,0f0 damages. Bill recognUoH that advertising cannot be commenced too early in a dramatic career.

Coffee is browed by electricity in a Berlin cafe. In the center of the room are sever*! large glass Jars, through which passes a platinum wire in spiral form. The electricity, ou heating the wire, especially raises the temperature of tho water in the jars to the boiling point, and prepares the coffee in the sight of everybody. Lastly, a small electric railway transmits the coflee to the various tables, wo that the guests may help themselves to their liking.

Some of the Philadelphia young wen of style are adopting bracelet*, to call attention to their slender wrists. Commenting ou the fad, an exchange remarks: "It Is said to be quite killing to see the glitter of the chaaed silver bands as the hat is raised In the street, or the mustache fondled In the parlor. Now If they could only fall Into the habit of placing a diamond ring on each thumb, they will be well equipped to go out and tight Ufa's battles—with thsir father's money.*'

The Irish envoys who came to this country to promote the cause their leader seems determined to destroy, are conducting themselves in a moat gentlemanly, consistent, and sensible manner through the present crisis. Their situation is indeed embarrassing. Bent on a delicate mission, that of petitioning the benevolence of a nation for a nation, they suddenly find themselves upon an open tea, ©vents at home leaving them powerless to continue the work they deaired to accomplish.

Oeorge Kcnnan declares that he Is constoutly tracked by Russian sptea, who attend all of hi* lecture*. In oousequence of this surveillance he baa to be extremely guarded in all of hie public and private utterance*. If thia suspicion it true, he must be telling facts which the Huaaian government would much prefer to have unspoken. Speak out Mr. Ketman. You are in America and a Russian detective can not outrage you without subjecting himself to a little of Uncle Sam's pugilists ability.

How many thousand* of half-naked starving, homeless waffs in tbe great cities of tbe country would pour forth unceasing blessings upon Uncle Sam were he to provide them with homes, clothing, and liberal rations of food. Better would it be were they children of reservation Indians, semi-civilised and stupid, than civilized, bright and intelligent, but nevertheless wandering homeless and aimless among hundreds and hundreds of millionaires. Then would there be a reasonable chance for them of living an easy life.

Geraldine's Letter.

Mv DEAR Rum: As the holidayscome around, they bring the pleasant, yet it must be confessed the somewhat wearisome and trying task of selecting appropriate gifts for one's family and friends. It need not be wearisome, we make It so ourselves by putting off until a few days before Christmas many things we might haye been doing all through the year. Every Christmas I say to myself, I am going to begin with the new year to make my presents for tbe next holidays, but my dear, I never do. The days slip away, the months slip by, and almost before I know it, that Christmas for which I have not prepared, is close upon mo.

The stores are all of them unusually attractive, and are crowded with every imaginable thiug in endless and bewildering variety. A book store is always an entertaining place, and especially so at holiday times. I dropped in at Mr. Button's yesterday, looked at the attractive display, and was quite entertained with a conversation I overheard between the book buyer and the patient salesman. "What kind of a book would you prefect" "Well, that's what I don't exactly know, maybe I'd better look around and see what you've got." The clerk suggests fiction, essays, poetry, etc.,etc., but nothing just suits. He doesu'tget discouraged, this patientclerk, ho seems to be used to this sort of thing. As for the customer, he Is happy. He snubs the old poets, criticises the standard works, never could see any sense In essays, aud goes for all the literary idols genet* dr. ifiiVj i«ft» Mi -j

The ealonnarti" a rev e?ypretty, Ana they are so useful beside, Tbe newest I saw was In the shape of a fan, tbe months at tho top of each stick, and flowers appropriate to tho season under each month,,

New blotters with celluloid covers, In which Dickenj' characters were painted. I saw Bill Sykes and Mr. Bumble, who figure In Oliver Twist,

Some of the illustrated gift books are very beautiful. "In Blossom Time" ha* sis photogravures trom celebrated artists. Reproducing pictures from paintings has greatly changed In the last few years. It used to bo'done only by steel, and wood engraving, and a good class of work in that lino

WHS

al­

ways expensive, Steel engraving is rarely used now, has given place to photogravure and other processes. Tbe results prsdueed by photogravure are astonishingly fine: they have much of the delicacy of a highly finished photograph, or pen and Ink drawing, and it is claimed that more beautiful effects can ho produced by them, than by wood engraving.

I saw the book "Undir the Open Sky,' published by Bel ford A Clark, in Chicago, and of which so much has bei»n said in the Chicago papers. It is a collection of extracts from the poets, and each verse handsomely illustrated. Margaret McDonald Pullman has anew illustrated book called "Summer Land." Some Christmas booklets from Lee, Shepherd Oo. are very pretty, the paper, the decorations and everything about them so dainty and pretty. Tbe poets sell right along, every year just the same. "Lucille" Is as great a favorite with young men and maidens now, as it was yean ago. Mr. Button says tbat Ben Hur is the beat selling book on tbe shelves. I read of an edition de luxe which costs $23*00.

The jeweler's stores are ablanfe with diamonds, cut glass, silver, and all manner of beautiful things. A superb Doulton Jardiniere, a beautifully shaped pitcher, of ivory or metal, some exquisite Bisque figures, Royal Worcester in all »hap«s and designs, beautiful silver, exquialte jewelry and out glass were among the many things I saw at Mr. Swops'*.

Then there la the picture store, (hat one can never get by without stopping to look at the display in the window, and then is tempted to go in. I w»a in Indianapolis not long since and looked through the largest pictare store over there. I do not know what theyt&ay have had put away, but what was on exhibition did not compare with Mr. (Jagg's display. I do not know of any way a person can Invest money, that will give him more genuine satisfaction than to put it into a good picture. Sfr»oe the advent of the bellotyp#, tbe photogravure, etching, and finely executed photographs, good pictures* are within the reach of everybody. Only a few years ago the chroma* "Wide Awake*

and "Fast Asleep," "Little Red Riding Hood," and the like,were found in every hotnfc. They have been relegatedjto the attic, and we laugh at them now? But they served their purpose. They created a desire for something better, and by their very crudenesa educated tbe public taste up to something better and finer. They awakened an interest in home decoration, which was sure to evolve keener perceptions of truth and beauty. jJJ

I could not attend Miss X»ucy Heyt's recital at the Presby terlan church Thursday night, but from what I hear it was fully up to the high standard of the Coates collesre concerts. GKKALDIXK,

MISS HEYL'S RECITAL. The second concert In tbe Coates college series was given last Thursday evening at the Presbyterian church, to a large audience, by Miss Lucia Heyl, who is Miss Alden's assistant, assisted by Professor Belcher and Mr. Peter Breinig. Miss Heyl is a graduate of the Boston conservatory of music—a pupil of the celebrated teacher, Carl Faelton and made quite a favorable impression. Her numbers were faultlessly given, and her rendition of the Beethoven Rondo and Greig suite was especially enjoyable. She seemed to bring out all the weirdness and fascinating beauty of the great Norwegian's music, "The Bridal Procession" being particularly spirited. Her Chopin numbers were well given also, and her success is evidently the result of musical temperament, musical advantages, and con sclentious work. Professor Belcher, who has charge of the vocal department of the college, gave from Schumann songs with such admirable taste that one felt inclined to call for the other one hundred and thirty odd songs that were written In the same year by this gifted composer. The mueic of "Dreams," by Strelezki, was not present, as Judge Davis announced, and Hattou's "Good-bye, Sweet-heart," was substituted. Peter Breinig's first number, a concerto, accompanied on the' piano by Miss Heyl, was an exceedingly difficult composition, but the players seemed not to find any difficulties. Mr. Breinig's execution is 'something wonderful, and those who had not heard him recently were surprised and gratified at the marked improvement show^. bgjh in tone jgj#.

Two terrible "railroad accidents occurred this week, each resulting In the death of an unfortunate man. Tbe first was on Monday evening, John Truce, an E. fe T. H. brakeman, being caught between box-eats on different sidings in the company's yards here, and literally crushed to death. He was switching at the time and failed to notice that the space between a car standing on one track and a line of cars approaching on another was insufficient for a man to stand in. He has caught by a protruding car door, lifted trom the ground, and rolled nmnd and round until the end of the moving car allowed his body to fall to the ground. His injuries were awful, every rib and his breast bone being broken. Medical aid, though secured immediately, proved of no avail and be died within an hour. Tbe remains wore taken to his home in Danville, III., lor burial, a large number of friends accompanying them to attend the funeral. Ho was but 24 years of age and unmarried. The second accident happened on Tuesday evening, A. J. Cottrell, an employe of the street car company, being run over and instantly killed while attempting to climb between moving cars at ^Tenth and Main streets. His remains were terribly mangled, almost beyond recognition, and were not definltety identified for some time after the«aocident. Then several persons declared tbe man to be John Cottrell,'the oldest son of Isaac Cottrell, of Atherton, wbo was at one time one of the wealthiest landowners of this county? Both accidents were shocking and those who witnessed them will long fee! tbe horror of the sights.

Judge Davis made announcements as fellows: Mendelssohn Quintette Club, December 18th (net in the college series.) Ovide Musin and company of artists, January 3d, 1891. A us der Ohe, January 90th, 1891. Pupils' recitals at the Gymnasium ball, next Tuesday evening and next Thursday afternoon at S o'clock, to which the musical public wit! be cordially welcomed.

The nnlon eervlee to be held at the Congregational church to-morrow evening in the interests of the Society for Organised Charity promises to he entertaining and worthy of a huge attendance. Hie addres* of the evening will be delivered by Alexander Johnson, secretary of tbe state board of charities, and will he on the subject, "The Good Samaritan of the Twentieth Century." The Mendeiaaokn quartette and the Congregational choir will furniah tbe mnsie, assisted by Mrs. Eda Courtne*, who will sing a eoio* "Jerusalem," and Mint Hat" UePaige who wttt also sing a solo, "little Barefoot." _____

6LAR FASHIONS IN lMV01R&i: AMONGST TILE WOMEN OF^ VARIOUS LANDS.

rr

[V«,S. Mosby In Washington Post.] & daily prayer of Socrates is said to hatfjjL been a prayer of thanksgiving to tlw^ttoAs that he. was "born neither a woman uor a slave.?' But he, like other eat philosophers, had no idea of an's importance. It. is a fact that ins universally that the more bar$be nation, the less respect have

ten

for the opposite sex. The staff Oman's standing in the various tries ifeveals the strangest freaks of ail fancy.

Scripture it is evident that Jewrailed at the frivollty of their ch ap our modern husbands,

ho can find a virtuous w6man!" oxelalmad Solomon. One would think this remark, judging from tbe extent of hlfa barom, a poorcompllmentto hlsown discrimination. But when he adds, "She rises while it is yet night and giv eth meat to the household," tho mystery is explained. Some of his wives had evidently been' trying to persuade him of tho beneficial effect,of building the kitchen fire, or doffiing his kingly purple and attacking the woodpile. Then when we count in the tennis suit«,^lce cream aud matinee tickets for the crowd, we fait to wonder at his cynicism.

Jewish women of the higher classes were afecluded from public life, and passed their time with thedistaffaud spindle. At marriage the ceremonies lasted seven days. Divorce was common aud polygamy a custom of tbe nation. An unfaithful wife could only anticipate the fate of being stoned to death. Such conditions were equally unfavorable to a woman's mental and moral growth. Had Solomon applied his wisdom to the improvement of the obscure morality of men of ancient days he would have seen less in tho other sex to criticise. Still, a man with thousand engagement rings to buy does have a hard time.

Although among tho Bedouins a wife ia considered as a slave, singleness is hkked upon as a disgrace. In Turkey woman is held iu tbe most rigid seclusion. She must always appear veiled, with lustrous black eyes peering from behind the gauzy tissues that enhance rather thau conceal the coquette's charms. With pigs and dogs she is forbidden to enter a moaque, and the Koran declares a woman who is unmarried to be in a state of reprobation. Considering tho number of wives a man may bare there la little excuse for spinsterhood in tbat country.

The harem, the Arable for sanctuary, la said to have originated from a flirtation of Ayeeha, the favorite wife of Mahomet, with one of his officers. Seeing her guilty of the impropriety of speaking to a man who happened to pass through the garden, be immediately abut up his wives in seraglio*. These harems are beautiful palaces, standing is gardens of exquisite loveliness, adorned with statues, trees, flower* and •traame—a spot where nature and art have endeavored to excel each other's efforts in adornment. Bat the gates of this guilded prison ac» iron grates and soldiers guard every avenue.

To speak to one of the Sultan's wivee would be immediate death to the unlucky offender. A "married belle" in Turkey would enjoy her flirtation by bring sewed up in each and drowned in a paaeing stream. This is evidently enough to oool ber coquettish propenaitlee. Mohammedans consider It an Insalt to inquire for the health or their wives. Perhaps they imagine the inquisitive strangers snspeet they have

S

bM tatiota'^iltkietemit^ooUMir ftadtb* nadnt*tiag tyiph of th*

premises by drowning off a few better halves. The Persian method of disposing of flirtatious wives does not recommend itself to the feminine public. The fes tive lady is swathed up in her veil, taken to the top of a tower and thrown over. This may be fun for the husbands, but is rather rough on their wives. After the performance there is not usually more than enough left to make a good sized funeral, but, as the Persian women have little education, are reared in seelu sion and ignorance, knowing nothing beyond the walls of their houses, it is not lo be supposed they are fond of indulging in the luxury of American girls —summer flirtations.

With the Hindoos the women are shut up in the Zan&nah. Though sometimes of remarkable beauty in youth, their charms are said to soon fade under the fervid sun of a tropical clime. Woman like, they are fond -of adornment, and though the lower classes assist their husbands in work, tho dpper "caste" is said to be indolent and luxurious. If a man desires to divorce a wife he has only to address her as "mother." Such a simple and inexpensive method should recommend itself to the Chloago public, Hindoo women are forbidden to read or write, Iudeed, those who dare to in dulge iu such luxuries are often "accidentally" missing.

On the death of a husband many wivea voluntarily become "suttees"—-offer themselves as a "burnt offering" on the dead man's funeral pyre. Though this horrible custom has been stopped by the English government, yet for ages it was a common sight for several of a man's wives to spring into the flames and there perish, tbe hideous clamor of drum and and cymbal drowning the victim's agonizing shrieks. "The deep damnation of their taking off" was not so hard ou these poor women as the deprivation of tbe pleasures of fascinating widowhood. The origin of this iuhuman sacrifice is said to be that their sacred beok promises eternal life to^hor. whp died with her husband.

The women of ancient Home were treated with greatest respect. Evel-y one was ordered to give place to them on the street, and a special feast in their honor, was instituted, under the name of Matronal la, during which time they re tait from thf^ husbftnd* property, an husbands for counterfeiting their keys,

and for wine-drinking. However, in tho latter days of the Empire the woman took advantage of the facility of divorce—one woman is said to have buried twenty-two husband*. The caus%of their "shuffling olf this mortal coil" In such numbors

WAS

never explained, but probably she hlwl been taking lessons in anew cookery school. Soneca says the woman of that day counted their days not by yfarn, but by the number of husbands, and it must have been pretty bard work, at such a rate, for the noble laches to keep a tally of them unless they employed a "bell punch,"

By the Chinese a wife is neverseen by her future master, and she misse» all the "sweet nothings" that carry so many to the by menial altar It? these later days. Some relative bargains for tbe girl, the stipulated price Is paid, and she is afterward a submissive slave. Her only education is the ceremonial of manners and ber life behind the four walls of her apartments. She cannot eat, with her husband, or leave her room without bis permission, and a Chinaman would con elder it a disgrace for his wife to walk beside bim on the street. Should she displease him be sells her, and, if too loquacious, he simply divorces her

Siberian women are raised as abject slaves, untidy in dress, and are bought with money or cattle. The most capricious whim of ber husband is law, and should the latter desire a divorce he ba« only to tear tbe cap from ber head. Their days are spent in building hnts, fishing and domestic druggery. They cannot eat in tbe presence of their husbands, or indulge in tbe dainty food of of reindeer's head, which is monopolized by the men.

But perhaps the lowest and most degraded women are fonnd in Africa. One of the kings of a savage tribe is said to bave had 3,353 wivee, passing Salomon on the homestretch In the conjugal race and winning the pennant by two lengths.

One of the most peculiar customs is found among tbe Congo negroes. When a man wi»bee a wife he secures one and keep* bar on probation a year. If during this time her temper, industry and deportment are satisfactory, he at the end of the year formally marries her. Bat should she prove an incumbrance, be sends ber back to tbe parental roof. This is regarded by all as an excellent arrangement.

Perhaps it is only in the United States thai woman Is fonnd in all her regal glory, wielding the scepter of ereignty. As a girl she shines by wit •ad beauty, while as a true wife and loving mother she stands pre-eminent. Combining the eolidity of the English with the vivacity, piquancy apd style of the French, uniting the athletic Amsxon

room, as much at home iu tho marble courts of kings as in the lecture hall of science—the American girl stands without a rival in the ciyiliwed world.

Breathing freedom's air, she scorns the trommels of a corrupt society* aud lives as man's equal and companion.. In fact, the American "is a woman." Take ber all in all, you shall not look upon ber like Kgatn.

AMUSEMENTS.

THB GREAT MKTHOPOI.TIL TO-NIOHT. A shipwreck and the dramatic departure of a life-saving crew to the rescue form the principal scene iin the "Groat Metropolis," to be presented tonight. It makes a scene, realistic in the extreme. But the complicated and realistic mechauioal effects are not the only merits which the play possesses. Tho story is one in which the rightful heir Is kept out of his heritage and for a time thwarted in his love. Upon this is built a uumber of really dramatic situations, of which a capable company makes the most. The'opera house will be crowded to-night.

U. S. MATT..

"IT. S. Mail," desoriWi as a sat ire ou tho postal service, is the attraction at Nay lor's Monday evening. This Is the play which haa received considerable notoriety because of tbe fact that one of the proprietors is related to the Harrisons. It has made a success In St. Louis, Chicago and other Eastern cities. Tho plot of tbe "U. S. Mail" is so slender that the proprietors wisely refrain from entering upon any elabdrate description of its details. The scene is chibfly laid iu a country postolHce, whoso postmaster is the editor of the village paper. Ho has had a bitter rival in the person of an Irish druggist, a crafty genius, wlio, falling to secure tho prize himself, bends all his emrg!es toward tho accomplishment of the new postmaster's ruin. In this he is assisted by a tramp printer, Hi Hand, by name. Tho schemes of the druggist, which finally result in his own discomfiture, run through the plot. An Irish domestic with an uncomfortable mania for cleaning a Swiss maiden Jack, the postmaster's daughter, and some minor characters, Including a bevy of pretty girls, complete the cast. The .•

company Is strong. It includes Frank

David, an'operatio cotnodiau of considerable repute In tho east Samuel Reed, alsQ Au actor of considerable ability. 0. Sfulo M&tiros tr.

Co William Jerome, tho song writer, and Master Harry O'Lyun, a 4-year-old, who has made a big hit in a small part, Oeorgie Parker, tho original Venus In "A Rag Baby," is Jack, the postmaster's daughter. Marie Bookell, a fine singor, aud Maggie Fielding, the character actress, have congenial roles. Handsomo costuming, catchy music and entertaining specialties are promised. Tho sale is very large.

AFTKR DARK.

There area number of striking features In "After Dark," to bo seen at Naylor's, Thursday ovening, Deo. 18. The stage setting is of tbe most elaborate description, with all the most recent Ideas of realism, and with a completeness of detail that has rarely been equalled. In

tho

immense tank of water Is used. Tha heroine is thrown into the the wator, when Old Tom, tbe hero of the play, comes dashing upon tho scone in his boat and arrives in time to save her. Another realistic scone Is the underground railway. A train loaded with passengers Is about to be wrecked on an obstruction, when Old Tom attracts tho engineer's attention and saves the train. In one of tbe acta a gambling den is shown In full blast. Perhaps tbe most striking scene represents a London music hall by gaslight. There is an elevated stage on which a vaudeville entertainment Is given by Sherman and Morrissy, and Kelly and Murphy, the pugilists, and other clever people.

The Rev. Dr. Parker, tbe noted Congregational divine of London, understands bow to create a sensation. He has cut down his sermons to precisely sixty-seconds. Tbe rest of the service consists of music and devotional exercises. It is thought that this radical reform will produce beneficial results in mnch tbe same way that tbe disciples of Homoeopathy have influenced Allop»tby—vis. lessening the stee of their doses. In a recent sermon, consisting of one hundred and sixty words, Dr. Parker denounced the use of wine st tbe cammnnlon table. "It is high time" be declared, (hat "intoxicating wine was banished from tbe sacramental service. It bas driven men to long abandoned habits of intemperance." Dr. Parker advocates tbe use of plain water at the communion service. Certainly the church caanot afford to be tbe ally of tbe rum shops in tbe work of making drunkards.

Congressman Culberson, of Texas, has phenomenal record ss criminal lawyer. He has defended 114 men charged with murder. He has never bsd a client banged. Only three of the 114 were convicted. They were tried by a military court and sent to the penitentiary. Judge Culberson subsequently secured their release.
