REFORM. What Annie Jenness Miller io Doing in Its Behalf. New York, July if. — Ono of the prettiest suburbs of New York is East, Orange, and one of the prettiest houses in East Orange is that occupied by Mrs. Annie Jenness Mil ler, known for her advocacy of hygienic dross for women. Shades of Amelia llloomer! 'flic first dress reformers were plucky but luckless. Could anybody asso ciate Mrs. Bloomer with a Queen Anne cot ngeand c green rolling lawn? Could anv luiy imagine her in such a study as I found Mrs. Miller in yesterday, polished floor rug strewn, delicately tint<sl walls hung with etchings and rare engravings, portieres in odd but artistic color combinations, and sum mer curtains blowing in the wind? Does one usually picture Amelia Bloomer as hoarding her spare dollars for quaint and curious bric-a-brac and taking pride in her diningroom with its dainty table ware? I trow not. And yet could anybody influence in the smallest degree the dress of the American woman who did not like beautiful things as well as the American woman or even a little better because with a finer apprecia tion than she? Mrs. Bloomer was a heroine, a greater than Mrs. Miller to me, but she was not the kind of heroine that succeeds. Mrs. Miller will go no faster than the average woman can follow her. Instead of presenting re form in the guise of a duty thatone must be martyred by the laughter of one’s kind in doing, she appeals to every woman’s innate wish to lie more attractive than she is.” I don’t know that I should have supposed myself talking to a “reformed” woman as I 6at opposite Mrs. Miller. In her simple house gown of some soft yellow-tan material that fell in long graceful lines from neck to heel, gathered at the waist line bv the folds of a red silk girdle and relieved by slightly puffed sleev.4 with long cuffs at the wrists, she looked tome more like one of the beau ties of the Directory with sense enough to wear a high-necked dress of a morning and not. to abbreviate her waist to an unbecoming extent. A modified and modest gown of the period of the Consulate was what she seemed to be wearing, and it would be hard to find anywhere a prettier or more sensible attire than that is capable of being. Mrs. Miller's wardrobe indeed amply illus trates the possibility of putting on nothing that is inconsistent with health, and at the same time of being in no way conspicuous in ordinary society,except ill so far as a well dressed woman is always conspicuous and usually rejoices in being conspicuous among her kind. The tea gown lias risen in good season to assist her. Now that a dress has been accepted for after noon occasions which permits a woman to clasp her hands Dehind her hair, the further changes which Mrs. Miller has adopted to fit a loose gown for morning, evening and the street as well, are made with comparative ease. A navy blue surah silk is made, like all her dresses, in one piece, the draperies being hung on the foundations, alike in every case, of a simple princess gown form. It has a full, soft Greek front, something after the style of the fedora, but in even longer lines and giving a more graceful sweep. The back is fitted closely like a basque, but the full draperies are shirred on to it, taking the weight off the waist and keeping the bodice smooth and in place. The sleeves are fulled enough to get rid of the baroness of a plain coat sleeve, ami a beaded collar sup plies the garniture. Neither corset nor bustle is worn with such a gown, which follows the natural lines of the figure and would satisfy an artist’s eye. A white silk lace dress for summer wear has the gown form of white silk rhadzimir with low neck and short sleeves. Upon this the lace is draped in full folds across the front of the skirt, mid with it is worn a little lace jacket with full fancy sleeves. Another summer dross of black llama lace and surah has an entirely different though equally ef fective arrangement of the drapery in long, simple lines. A velvet gown is rich with brocade of mauve and black, and an experi ment in foulard for July and August has full neck and puffed sleeves of white laee and full draperies, never cut off at the waist nor chopping a woman into three sections after the usual basque, overdress and skirt plan. For office wear, and as a suggestion to the business woman, Mrs. Miller attires herself in a blue and gray basket cloth mixture, male with a deep yoke of dark blue velvet about the throat, side pieces of the bodice drawn toward the front in plaits support ing the form, basque back and draperies gathered on behind. A plain walking dress of dark wool goods in an olive mixture with a touch of gold in it has a fedora bod ice front of plaided surah ami is made short enough to clear any sort of underfoot weather, high boots made for the purpose of going with it out of doors. The principles of her dress system, so far as it is complex enough to be called a sys tem, carry nothing with them which a good conservative cannot approve. Taking it for granted, in the first place, that woman’s body is not to be improved upon by tortur ing it with that engine of bones and steels, the corset, nor yet by piling a mountain of humps in the shape of bustle springs upon its back, she tries to clothe it in a natural, healthful way, that shall at the same time be more artistically satisfactory than any thing that a woman has worn before. If she would not coin such a barbarous word as "leglettes” for the divided skirt worn be neath the gown, that garment would be a more than satisfactory substitute for the petticoat, with the additional advantage to that conservative creature, a woman, that nobody would ever know you had it on. For the gowns themselves, most of them are of delightfully light weight, compared with the conventional costume, and all of them dispense with the close-fitting biased waist which necessitates the corset to keep it smooth. For the rest there is as much va riety in them as to the usual wardrobe, and they are much prettier for n good figure, and no wdrse for a poor one. Mrs. Miller has been wiso enough in her day and generation to turn her attention first to dresses that would attract women of leisure, leaders of women, and her dresses for the reception room are bettor worked out than those for counting room, schoolroom *• street. But all in good time. She has an idea of a cer tainty and the working of it out can be left safely to time. In two years, I venture to prophesy, she will use less trimming and produce 1 jotter results. Her cardinal princi ples are long Greek linos like those that make Mary Anderson’s draperies more graceful than those of any other actress on the stage, the use of materials that are pic turesque in themselves, and attention to sleeves. I suppose she is looking at. her ven ture more or les> from the business point of view, but it is high time that somebody tried to make a business of teaching women to reform in the only way that in this cen tury is practicable, not by trying to scold them out of corsets, for no woman ever changed a button or a pin of attire for scold ing, but by showing them something that they can’t help acknowledging is prettier than the old way. Mrs. Miller is a pretty woman herself and thoroughly enjoys con triving beautiful things, which is a great ad vantage. The first time I ever saw Mrs. Jenness Mil ler on a Massachusetts lecture platform she wore an ultra fashionable gown. It was small wonder then that I said to her yester day, “and how came you of all women in the dress reform fieldr “That is easily told,” she replied. "I never wore corsets, have inveigheo against them, indeed, all my life. But I did what is worse after all. I liked to look as my neighbors did, and I wore the conventional gown with out any protection of iwset, underneath. By and by rnv back ached. Then it ached a little more. 1 had a horror of lieing an in valid anil went to a doctor, who told me I was well enough if 1 would only stop load ing myself down with heavy gowns. I went borne and weighed anew velvet costume —I had worn it hut once and it cost me s.’ls0 —it tipped the beam at twenty-five pounds. I never wore it again, but try as I might, I could not find a dress maker who would take the trouble to devise for me what I wax coming to see wus the only healthful | sort of dress. They told uie 1 was too young : a woman to he a crank, and that was all the satisfaction I got. “I could use needle and thread myself, and with my maid’s help I manufactured in time w'hat f wanted for my own wear. I had no intention of making the matter public in any wav. But one or two Wash ington society women took to my gowns. Mrs. Breckinridge, the wife of the Kentucky Congressman, had some like them, and Mrs. James, the wife of the Brooklyn Congress man, liked the idea, too. One day I woke up and found myself a column and a half long in the paper. Then I began to have letters, such funny letters, too, from cranks, a good many of them, and in the end they pushed me forward to setting my scheme before the women of the land.” “You say people wrote to you; what did they say?” "Oh, they came to me as well as wrote. There was a Kentuckian, a man and a per fect stranger, who posed on my parlor car pet and told mo he had a sick wife, and he wasn’t going home till I cut him some pat terns of dresses that would make her well. ‘But, my good man,’ said I, ‘I never cut a paper pattern in iny life, and I don’t know how big your wife is, nor how to begin.’ ‘lt was of no use. He kept coming till my sis ter and I in desperation at his persistence spread out some gowns on the floor and cut patterns for him as well as we could. “Then there was a woman out West who said she was one of the original wearers of the bloomer; she was old and infirm now and if I really sympathized with women she was sure I would send her money enough to build a frame house to live in in her old age. I was besieged with letters and my mail ran up so that I got a secretary to attend to it for me. I think I have had correspondents in every English speaking country of the the globe. Everbody asked me what to do, and I was amazed at the amount of rebel lion that seemed smoldering against corsets and long skirts. Women don’t really like them, you know, but they don’t want to be odd and they don’t know what else to put on.” “And what do you think of the prospect of final success?” “Of course I can’t tell, but they look bright, just now. Nothing was ever less sought than the prominence this has thrust me into. I was satisfied with clothing rfiy self, so as not to be a burden to myself and my husband, but if it is to be a public work, I may do some real good to a few other women at least.” “And have you any ultimate ideas beyond those you advocate now?” “Yes; but it would not do to advance them. One must win people, not repulse them. For my own part, I believe the dress of the future woman will be very beautiful and a very graceful dress, but not altogether according to our present ideas. I believe our limbs were made for practical use, and that in a couple of centuries or so women will wear no drapery at least below the knee. But that is wholly a thing of the future. I shouldn’t think of advocating it because it wouldn’t be practicable now.” A pattern agency for the manufacture and sale of Mrs. Miller’s patterns will prob ably be opened in New York some time next fall, and it remains to he seen what re sults the new dress reformer will bring about. Eliza Putnam Heaton. “NOTICED” BY REQUEST. The Change Wrought by a Year’s Theatrical Experience. New York, July 2. —The same peculiar and gruesome influence that causes a man to strut like an ass and tulk from the husky depths of his boots, simply because he has adopted the stage for a livelihood, moves and distorts womankind violently. One of the most charming and agreeable women I ever knew went on the stage last autumn. She was well born, and had been gently reared. Her manner was essentially femi- the soft, caressing, and ingenuous quality that causes men to expand and grow amiable in spite of themselves. She would sit with her hands clasped, her head bent forward, and her big eyes shining with mellow interest, while she murmured and chatted away with au air of utter and de lighted absorption. Even if her companion were the veriest dolt, she seemed to adore him. Women called her “sweet” and “charming.” Men looked content, inflated their chests, pulled their moustaches, glanced into contiguous mirrors, and hazarded the opinion that she was “a devilish, handsome, elevah, and fetching sort of a girl, y’know.” One night I met her in the foyer of Daly’s. It was raining, and her escort was afar, making frantic efforts to get his cab. The firl sat alone on one of the small divans. I rifted up, and she made room for me beside her. Dozens of the storm-bound theatre goers stood apart and stared at her with evi dent admiration. She was the daintiest, prettiest, and most demure woman there. “I’m in a condition of phastly depression,” she said, with her usual confidential air. “The play was dull, and the storm —” “No,” she said, sadly, “they had nothing to do with it. It is a resolve that I’ve made to-night. It has worried me for two sea sons. Now I’ve mado up my mind, and I’m at ease, but depressed.” “I’ve no doubt he’ll make the best of hus bands,” I said, vaguely. “Oh, I’m not going to many,” she said, quickly, “I’m going on the stage.” Then it was my turn to lie depressed. I wandered out m the rain mournfully. There was a great uproar in her family, of course, and every effort was made to dis suade her, but like most of the soft and gen tle women of the world she had au iron will. She went out on the road with the com pany of a well-known emotional actress, playing soubrette parts. I lost track of her completely. Shortly after 2 o’clock yesterday after noon I was wandering down the shady side of Broadway, when my attention was di rected across the street by the commotion in the crowd ahead of me. A girl had just emerged from the entrance of a dramatic agency. She wits swinging across the street. No wonder tho populace stared. She wore a bright green gown with a bit of brown drapery over it. So tight was the skirt that the satin clung to the limbs ami outlined them with amazing sharpness. Tho skirt was shy of the ground and revealed a pair of very high-heeled shoes of white leather. Abovejthem was blue hose with heavy gold clocks over the ankle. Tho girl was laced very tight, hod on a mon strous hat, and all her hair was gathered up from the neck and showered over the fore head in a mighty band. She looked litre a bizarre and brazen caricature in La vie Par- Menne, or as Sara Bernhardt dressed by her own fantastic fancy for a masquerade ball. She had crossed the street and swug ferod up to mo before I ri-eoznized the girl had talked with in Daly's that night. “How do, ole’ chappie.” said the girl with a grin, holding out the little finger of her left band and falling into a pose of studied ec centricity. “You seem abashed.” “Haven’t soon you in so long” “ Yuas,” she drawled, glancing consciously at a group of men, who lino stopped ah ruptly to look at her, “you mean that I’ve changed from the bread and butter miss you once knew, eh? Aye. One has to hustle in this bizness, m’ boy. There are so many jay* pushing their way in that, if you don't make a stir, you’ll be snowed under.” “Where are you playing now?” “Season'sclosed,” she said laconically, and with an indescribably rough accent, “but I’ve just signed with th’ ‘Dizzy High Rollers from Boarding School’ company. Goin’t’ do th’ merry little song and dance act, you know, and show mv fat calves to th’ bald headed darlin's in th’ front row. Good-by.

TTIE MORNING NEWS: MONDAY. JULY 4. 1887. JAY GOULD’S VICTIMS. An Interesting: Account of His Tilt Against His Foes. New York, July 2. —Henry Hart, who is mentioned as one of the victims stung by that cobra of the financial jungle. Jay Gould, is a fat, coarse little man, vulgar a~ the Indian Giaour in the Persian tale of Vathek, and seemingly as well fitted for as suming the shape of a ball and rolling out of difficulties, despite the kicks and cuffs of the speculating caliph and his crowd of eager followers, seen on Wall.street. Henry Hart, short, squat, unetious, loud, positive and filthy-tongued, might be taken for a fairly successful dealer in suspenders and shoe strings. He could buy a good deal of that kind of merchandise. He came originally from London, and is worth at least $10J)00,000. He is a shrewd, pushing man of business. He didn't know the shib boleth, however, when Gould's mine, which had been run under his earthworks, was ex ploded and he came near being knocked on the head. He is about 05 years of ago, gray eyed and round featured, and about as short in stature as Jay Gould, who would attract no notioe on the street, but Hart is powerfully built. He usually has a cheap looking black silk hat perched on the back of his head. His talk is in many re spects curious, to express the idea mildly. He will go into Russell Sage’s office and tell the clerks to inform Sage that he had called and to say that he couldn’t wait all day either, at the same time characterizing Mr. Sage in language that would make that individual stare with horror. He will go to the tape, and seeing the market for Pacific Mail running down rapidly, will talk of d— thieves and scoun drels, not to mention unprintable epithets that make tho clorks look pale and nervous. His opinion of Gould is expressed in terms that at least lack nothing in emphasis, and would delight a tough from the Sixth w ard. His trouble over the Pacific Mail matter dates back to tho time when he began a tight against President Houston, of that company, whom he succeeded in driving from the presidency. Hart lias for some years been u very large stock holder in the Pacific Mail, and at the last election succeeded in installing a number of his cronies and tools as directors in the com pany. Having got control of its affairs he found that young Gould, contrary to expec tations, would not accept the position of President in the company, as he would be a mere*figurehead under the circumstances. Hart’s lawyer, Lautorbach, declined to accept it, and thereupon Hart had himself elected to the place. He hail appar ently thrown the Gould party completely into the shade, and he thought he had made a grand coup. To-day he finds that the biter is bitten. Hart , it seems, basides his large holdings of Pacific Mail as an invest ment, was carrying considerable of that stock on a margin at the time of the recent crash. He found that the price of the stock was not only vigorously attacked, but that his loans were called in very sharply. The president of a trust company in which Gould is interested ex plaining to Mr. Hurt tho necessity of call ing some loans made to him, was extremely polite, saying: “At any other time, Mr. Hart, we should lie most happy to oblige you; we are really very sorry indeed to call this loan, and only the most urgent circum stances compel us to do so, etc.” Mr. Hart eyed him a second and then, so to speak, spattered the smoothspoken financial officer witn a wealth of vulgar, not to say obscene abuse. He went around to 71 Broadway, to see Gould, and, meeting Sidney Dillon, a very courte ous old gentleman, with not a little refine ment of speech and maimer, the latter asked Mr. Hart where he was going. Mr. Hart’s reply cannot be printed. It showed the na ture of the man. Not but that his condem , nation of Gould and his confederates was ’ just enough, aside from its needless vul garity. He had had little sympathy, how ever, because it was merely a game of finan cial checkers, in which Hart mado the first move and thought he was to be the winner. Gould made the next move and jump ed clear to the king row. He will be supreme in Pacific Mad hereafter, and may have more to say about the Third Avenue Surface Railroad than Mr. Hart will relish. As Mr. Gould is largely interested in the Manhattan Elevated road, any interest which he may acquire in the Surface road will tend t<> minimize its hostility to the Elevated, and the suits brought against tho Manhattan by the Hart faction may not prove so dangerous as was at one time supposed. Hart used to be a pawn broker here. He had' two shops in Park Row and the Bowery, and made a great deal of money. He started the Third Avenue Horse railroad largely on borrowed money, and it has proven a mint. The Elevated hurt the sur face road and Ilart has been eager for re venge, but his ardor may now Vie somewhat cooled. The stories about the losses of Cyrus W. Field are very conflicting, and it is probable that he has not been so great a sufferer as was at one time supposed. He is a locomotive in trousers for energy and push, and it is doubtful whether he could ever be perma nently relegated to a side track in the railroad world. He probably acquired much of his Manhattan stock at a low price. Henry 8. Ives, the meteor of finance, struck a planet in the downward rush of specula tion, and the meteor got rather the worst of it. Gould, it soems, called a number of loans on young Ives, who looks like a sophomore, but has a jaw indicative of an iron will, and cool grey eyes that meet his enemies with a look that has no fear. Au dacity seems to be a prominent character istic. When Gould colled some loans for the purpose of crippling the youngster, ho sent back word to Mr. Gould: “Go to sheol!” with other d< llant expressions. He seems, however, to have renewed the loans at higher rates. Gould never showed him self a more wily or bloodless Machiavelli of finance than lie has of late. For a dead or an insane man—as repoi-ts have made him —he has done wonders. Like a financial general, he has moved on his victims by several roads at once, and he remains a victor on the field covered with shameful glory, and richer by millions than before the fateful Black Friday, June 21.

A French thermometer has been devised of such sensitiveness that it will even de note. by a deflection of the index needle of nearly two inches, the entrance of a person into the room where it is placed, and by putting the hand near the bulb the n**dfo is deflected tho whole extent of the gradu ated arc. The apparatus consists of a bent tube, carrying at one end a bulb which is Coated externally with lamp black. Tho tulje is filled to a certain extent with mer cury and is supported by arm* pivoting on a spx-1 knife blade. Just aliove the pivot is fixed an index needle which moves across a graduated are, and tieneath the pivot hangs a rod, to which is attached bv friction a small weight that serves to balance the needle so as to cause it to point to zero on the arc. When the temperature rises, he it ever so slightly, the heat being absorbed by the lampblack dilates the air in the bulb ami drives the mercury forward. The centre of graqity of the apparatus being thus dis placed, the needle will immediately turn to ward the right, and when, on the contrary, the temperature decreases, tho needle will point toward the loft.

How He Whipped an English Bully in the Red-Hot Days. From the Kansas City Journal. The Hon. William F. Cody, whose ex hibition has recently been visited by Her Majesty the Empress of India, was a protege of the famous border hero, Wild Bill, with whom he hunted and scouted, and who made him first deputy when hold ing the responsible and dangerous position of fit} - Marshal of Abilene, Kuu. Buffalo Bill had achieved a reputation on the plains ixfore Ned Buutiine brought him, in his Wild West dramas, prominently before tho people of the East its a typical frontiersman. A little liefore this time he figured in an exciting pugilistic encounter in Kansas City. He \\ us a young man, then, as now, sujjerbly developed physically, of undaunted courage, renowned for his exploits in the killing ot buffalo and ns a government scout in times of Indian troubles, and doing at leisure intervals a little work, conspicuous for its conscientious attention to details, in ti e way of painting frontier towns in hues of scarlet and vermilion. Kansas City was at that time the rendez vous of the buffalo hunters and general out fitting point for expeditions over the plains. It was au ungainly, overgrown settlement, strung along the (steamboat wharves at the foot of the bluffs on the Missouri river, opposite the mouth of the Kaw, but giving even then some promise of its subsequent marvelous growth. It was in the red-hot stage of local development, and had a population fearful and wonderful to contemplate. Here were gathered ex bushwhackers of the war just finished, Union and Confederate, with animosities yet unhealed'buffalo hunters and trappers from the plains and mountains, Mexican freighters from jpver the Santa ,'Fo trail, roustabouts from the steaßilxmt landings, and gamblers from everywhere, who mingled, caroused and fought on tho drop of the hat while, attracted like camp follow ers to the field of carnage, painted, showily dressed women practiced their allurements in numerous dance-hails and lent a gaudy adornment to the muddy streets. Almost every man carried weapons, and was prompt to use them on occasions, with, aim often without, provocation. Here in this frontier paradise appeared an athletic and bumptious Englishman, who soon made himself objectionable to tho community by his fondness for fist-fighting. He possessed both strength and science, and courted encounters at fisticuffs, from which he invariably coino out victorious. He had “done up” successively every man who could be found to meet him, from those who made pretensions to ability under the rules of the prize-ring to the unpromising boat men, half horse, half alligator, who fought viciously, rough and tumble. Ho was bullying and overbearing of demeanor, and had become a source of chronic, exaspera tion to the fighting population of Kansas City. He went ostentatiously without weapons, and there existed in the minds of many a prejudice against shooting an un armed man, which interfered with the adoption of the ordinary methods of getting rid of an obnoxious party in the community. A popular sentiment had arisen, however, and was rapidly extending, favorable to hi* assassination, when in informal conclave it was concluded, after some discussion, to await the coming of Buffalo Bill, who was daily expected to arrive from the plains, and to then contrive that a hostile meeting should occur between them. In course of time Buffalo Bill appeared in town, and as soon as possible after his arrival a meeting was effected between him and the Englishman in a saloon, a quarrel easily started and a fight arranged. A back rrxjm of the saloon was the arena, and both men set to business with promptness ami energy. For the first fifteen minutes Buffalo Bill, who was as lithe and quick as au Indian, fought on the defensive, and did little but dodge and parry the blows of his antagoni st, who followed him about the room, hitting heavily, but generally ineffectively, and ■who soon got warm and Ixgan to lose wind and temper. Then Buffalo Bill, who, though somewhat punished, had kept his coolness and temper, assumed the aggressive. Avoiding a terrific blow at his lace, lie sprung with the movement of a panther under the Englishman’s guard and caught, him with both hands by the throat in a grip like steel. For a few moments the Englishman rained short arm blows on him ami struggled to break his hold, but his efforts could not loose the grasp on his windpipe, and presently he grow black in the face and fell to the floor. Buffalo Bill held his grip until his opponent was motion less and apparently dead, and then relrased him and walked away, bearing some marks of punishment, but victorious. It took a long time to bring the Englishman to, and for a whilo the task seemed hopeless. He was shaken and rolled, deluged with ice water, and strong hartshorn was hold to his nose: but under these provocatives he lay like a log. It seemed ho was gone be yond recall, but under the most strenuous efforts he revived, and was eventually, as far as physical injuries went, all right. The encounter, however, broke the reign of terror in Kansas City, and was one of the occurences that went to establish the prestige of Buffalo Bill. PAIN KILLER.
