SEPTEMBER NOTES.
The Camping Month and Notes About
Women.
AMY Voiik, Sept. —September is the
camping mouth. There are few men who
have not enough of the . Bohemian in their
make up to epjqy an escape from civiliza
tion into the wood.-. but the woman w ho
can camp is not .an average member of her
sex. The woman Who can be induced to live
ill a teat at all, however, usually enjoys it
ell the more keenly from the sharp contrast
which a bed of hemlock twigs and a diet of
fish, broiled on the end of a sharpened stick,
offer* to the over-nice conventionalities of
modern housekeeping.
I was talking with an experienced Adiron- j
clacks men alsnit camp outfits the other day.
He said he saw no reason why a camp
should not have all the conveniences and
most of the luxuries of a modem household.
A camp with spring beds, hair mattresses,
good table linen, silverware and an abund
ance of cooking utensils; a camp with
three or four French cook meals per diem
and a course dinner served with dainty
completeness, a camp with daily papers
and a telephone seemed to him the acme of
comfort.
Aghast at such heresy, I asked him why
he didn’t demaud an elevated railroad,
import a stock exchange and establish a
counterpart of the whole mechanism of so
ciety he was supposed to be running away
from, or, better yet, refrain from pulling up
his anchors in the city at all. Then I asked
him how he would get his sybaritic outfit
into the wilderness.
He was neither crushed by ray logic nor
withered by my scorn. “In wagons,” he
replied, calmly. “Of course the thing can’t
be done with such completeness except in
the case of a permanent camp, pitched to
stay at least a couple ot weeks; but
if your ambition is to be perpetually on
the move, I don’t want your company iu
camp.”
“But did you ever see a camp with a tele
phone?”
“No; but the thing is perfectly feasible,
and my ideal camp has a telephone whether
the actual one has or not.”
My luxurious friend was right in saying
that to a permanent camp pitched anywhere
near a wagon road any amount of pernici
ous comforts can be transported. I have
myself seen a sewing machine and a piano
in a tent, and oberved a florist's wagon de
positing a load of greenhouse darlings to be
coaxed to take root and bloom in the door
yard fenced in outside. But camping out of
this sort is, my philosophic Adirondack
friend to the contrary notwithstanding, not
camping at all. It is merely living under
canvas an everyday life that' is much more
tolerable under slate or shingles.
A camp may be pitched anywhere. I have
known a family who understand the art of
relaxation to drive three miles from home
and camp in a romantic cow pasture with
the best of results. The supply of milk was
unfailing. The cow pasture was to be sure,
an exceptional one, with a beautiful outlook
of river, field and hill. I have myself
camped within a leisurely afternoon row
from New York City Hall, under the Pali
sades, opposite the city, and know few better
places. Thousands, of people go further and
do not fare worse, as the hanks of the Ad
irondack streams, or of Lake Champlain, or
lake George, or of the St. Lawrence, or of a
hundred other picturesque if less known
pxiols of blue water within the next six weeks
will testify.
A camp tent is seldom made of canvas
nowadays. It is too heavy for any but a
three months’sojourn Oiled duck is better.
Ordinary bed ticking, if set at a sufficient
angle, will keep off a long rain. The acme
of luxury, especially on a walking and camp
ing trip combined, is a tent of India rubber
gauze, such as the bicyclist Stevens carried
round the world. I have lived some days
ip a hut or hemlock boughs that answered
all purposes when it did not rain. •
It is in eliminating superfluities from
necessities in the camping outfit that the
test of a woman’s capacity for enjoying the
woods comes in. If she cannot content her
self with the meagre list outlined below, the
chances are she would lie happier on a hotel
piazza. A light and simple outfit which
assumes that time in the wilderness is too
valuable to spend in housekeeping allows to
each member of the party necessary toilet
articles, a blanket, and writing or sketching
materials: also one tin plate, sliding cup,
knife, fork and spoon. The pails for boil
ing coffee and carrying water, the tin stew
ing or frying pan. with its handle riveted
on, belong to the party in common. Any
multiplication of dishes, or napkins, or table
cloths always takes from the flavor of genu
ine camp life, and in a camp often moved is
Utterly impracticable.
Camp dress for a man means flannel shirt
and knickerbockers. For a woman it means
n loose, short flannel gown, with no whale
bones in it, weighing not over a pound and
a half; half worn shoes, stout and without
much heel, and a soft felt hattbat will stand
l ain, which items may lie as picturesque iu
color as one chooses to make them. It is a
mistake to wear too much clothing, but a
jacket, for cool days is tolerated. So equip
ix i men and women cannot fail to come
nark to civilziation better iu mind and body
than when they left it.
THE ART OF DRESS CUTTING.
How It is Taught to Pupils for a Small
Sum.
New York, Sep. 3.—The tyranny of pro
fessional dressmakers, their misfits, their
high prices, have so worn out the patience
and exhausted the pui-ses of women at large
that the new movement which aims to make
every woman her own dressmaker is meet
ing with enormous success in England.
There are several firms in Loudon, all I be
lieve American, who profess to teach dress
cutting by means of the chart, or “accord
ing to Euclid,” the measurement of the fig
ure at certain points indicating that which
it should Vie at other points, and so with
neck, sleeve, etc. I remember my mother
tmving one of these charts of a traveling
expositor of their merits some thirty odd
years ago in Cincinnati. She never was
able to utilize her purchase and ever after
labored under the impression that Euclid
and the man who sold him had both sold
her. Par be it from me to insinuate that
the present-day systems have anything in
common with the unmanageable sheet of
card-board which caused my dear parent so
much disappointment and vexation in days
gone by; nevertheless, I believe it is con
ceded that it is not given to every one to
master the art Of dress cutting. But who
is to know which mind will prove rebelious
against tuition and which will absorb in
struction as easily as Mark Twain assures
us the otter dispenses “otter of roses f” For
tunately, for the instructors in the science
of dress cutting by chart, no woman can
tell whether it will prove a failure or a suc
cess: the consequence is go where one will
among these new instructors, one is sure to
find a crowd of eager pupils hanging on the
mistress’ lips as if sh were an oracle, or
intently scanning upon the chart, the net
work of lines Which indicate the course a
woman’s body ought to take, “according to
Euclid.” The promise is made by these
teachers that the whole art of dressmaking,
including cutting, fitting and draping, shall
be conveyed to a pupil for the sum of about
fs'jO. Those who acquire proficiency in this
necessary trade are said to find no difficulty
in procuring lucrative situations, and it is
rather interesting to hear, as indicative of
the rapid advance of civilization in semi
bar borous lands, that dressmakers who cut
stylishly and tit elegantly are much in de
mand in New Zealand and South Africa.
Millinery also is uow taught in theNeschools
and the old delusion has been dispelled which
led one to believe that to be üble to make a
bonnet, was to possess a power divinely
given, on the same principle that |>oets are
’“>rn, not made. To make a bonnet you
must first do so and then so; and particu
larly must you avoid that and also this.
■ pti must master the art of concealing art,
which in this case consists in putting in the
necessary stitches, all of whicn must lie sod
'hourly concealed. To line your full-faced
j*>iinet you out your velvet on tbs cross; to
line your smooth-frotited brim your velvet
on the .-t rnight. This in the algebraic
lav*concerning bonnets; but even after you
have learned all this and able to hide your
stitches every one, and to cut your velvet
on the straight or on the cross strictly as
required by tho guide, still there reniaius
an untouchable and indefinable power —a
faculty of summoning prettiuess into a
bows loop, or of indicating the true pose of
a culled flower, which makes all the differ
ence between “a love of a bonnet” and its
antithesis. Olive Logan.
SHOT BY A REJECTED LOVER
Mabel Harton’s Narrow Escape from a
Tragic Death.
A dispatch from Weaverton, Pa., to the
New York Sun gives the following account
of a remarkable shooting ease near that
place; “Band Knox Snyder, a young
Englishman, attempted to murder Miss
Mabel Harton in the jiarlor of the handsome
residence of her father, Janies Harton, near
this place, Sunday evening. Ho had been
her affianced lover, and she had just told
him that she could no longer receive his at
tentions, when he drew a revolver and fired
two shots at her. one taking effect in her
left ear. Their meeting and the causes
which led to the shooting are told by Miss
Harton as follows;
“Owing to ill-health my father was ad
vised two years ago to take a trip across the
ocean, and together we sailed for Europe,
where almost a year was spent. In England
we became acquainted with an Englishman
who gave his uame as Baird Knox Hnyder.
He was a guest at the hotel w here we w ere
stopping. He appeared to be a man of
means, and, seeing that my father was an
invalid, took a deep interest in us. He was
kind and courteous, and spent much of his
time with my father, who was rapidly
growing weaker. Mr. Hnyder said that he
had never been in America, but was making
arrangements for a trip across the ocean,
with the view of making America a per
manent place of residence, and that it would
be a great favor if he could accompany us
on our return home. We gladly acquiesced
in this, and said we would give him ample
notice of our departure so that he could
join us. Several months later, during which
there was but little improvement in my
father’s condition, his attending physician
said it was useless to remain any longer;
that his patient was beyond any hope of re
covery: that he could get just as good medi
cal treatment at home, and that the trip
across the ocean might be beneficial. We
at once decided to return, and in two weeks,
w ith Mr. Snyder, we sailed for New York.
His genial disposition and kindly attention
to my father made an impression that left
no doubt that it would end in a love affair.
The third day of our voyage he approached
my father and asked his consent to our mar
riage. It was a suiprise, but not wholly
unexpected, and my father expressed him
self as satisfied, but said that the matter
rested entirely with me. There was so much
tenderness and apparent sincerity in his
proposal that I consented, but on account of
my father’s feeble condition I refused to set
a time for our nuptials. My mother's death
having occurred some years ago, my father
was very much worried about my future in
the event of his death, but the turn affairs
had taken on the voyage seemed to enliven
him, and, strange to say, a marked im
provement took place. The trip to New-
York was so enjoyable that, at the request
of my father, I urged Mr. Snyder to ac
company us to our home here, w r here we
would be pleased to have him remain until
he decided where to locate. The offer was
accepted, and, after a stay of five weeks, he
went to Pittsburg, where'he decided to re
main. The .most affectionate letters were
exchanged between us, aip,d our wedding
was set down to take plao p the latter part
of September.
“After Mr. Snyder’s departure father
talked about our approaching nuptials, and
as I was the sole heir to his estate, which
was considerable, he suggested, very wisely,
that, ere it would be too late, it would be
well, as Mr. Snyder was a perfect stranger,
to inquire into his business in Pittsburg.
My father, therefore, decided to go himself,
having much improved, and he started
forthwith to Fittsburg, where he remained
about four days, unknown to Snyder. He
learned, however, to his utter astonishment,
that Snyder was looked upon as a profes
sional gambler and confidence man, and
that he was a frequenter of the worst dens
in that city. To remove all doubt, my
father employed a private detective, who
shadowed Snyder and discovered that he
was traveling under an assumed name, and
that all the rumors about Snyder’s character
were true. My father returned home much
depressed and disappointed. He soon com
municated the result of his mission to me. I
was deeply affected, but at once resolved to
break off the engagement, and wrote
Snyder a letter saying that obstacles over
which I bad no control had arisen, and that
a union between us was now impossible.
The next mail brought a letter from Snyder
containing a peremptory demand for his ac
cusers’ names, but I sent no reply.”
Sunday evening Snyder came to town and
appeared at the Harton mansion, but Mr.
Harton refused to admit him. Snyder re
fused to go away until he was heard, and
finally succeeded m gaining admission, with
the understanding that the interview was
to be the last, and that he would discon
tinue further attentions to Mabel. The
young couple met in the parlor, while
Maiicl's father sat in an adjoining room.
Snyder demanded to know who his accusers
were, that he might promptly disprove wliat
he claimed to he base slanders. Mabel said
she had the most convincing proof of the
truth regarding his character, and that it
was useless to attempt to deny it. Snyder
grew violent and assumed a threatening at
titude, declaring that unless she revealed
the names of his accusers they would both
die together. He drew from bis coat pocket
a revolver and fired two shots in quick suc
cession, one of which entered her left ear
and embedded itself in the jam of the door.
With a piercing shriek she fell to the floor.
Her father rushed into the room and, in his
feeble condition, grappled with Snyder, but
the young Englishman violently flung him
to the floor and then hastily left the house,
exclaiming;
••You will never be the wife of another,
and the man who has vilified me will meet
the same fate.”
In a few minutes Mabel recovered con
sciousness, and arose with the blood oozing
from her wound, which is not considered
dangerous. Forgetting herself she directed
her attention to her father, who is so com
pletely prostrated by the shock that it may
result fatally.
Miss Harton is only 30 years of age, and
is an amiable and accomplished young lady.
She says she saw Hnyder point the revolver
at her,' but was powerless to move or give an
alarm before tne shots were fired. She
thinks had she attempted to leave the room
ho would have shot her dead.
Snyder has not been heard from since.
Miss Harton is jicwitive that when he saw
that in the event of her father’s death,
which was then rapidly approaching, she
would come into poMewion of all bis prop
erty, he arranged his plans to share its en
joyment, and that it was her wealth and
not her happiness he was so anxious about.
Hnyder is about 38 years of age, of prepos
sessing appearance, and higfily educated.
Nothing further is known about him, but it
is certain that bis true character was re
vealed at Pittsburg.
Ae 001. Ingersoll Gets Older he Grows
More Serious.
lYom the Botttn Herald.
Another well-known figure that sauntered
up to Mr. Mackay’s table the other evening
and remained there for a moment or two
was that of Col. Robert G. Tngersoll, whoso
face and form are familiar to at least nine
teuths of the metropolitan populace. As
he walks along the street eight out of every
' ten people turn around and stare after him,
j and tho only reason why the other two do
not follow the same course lies in tho fact
that they are so well acquainted with Jnger
! soli's presence as uot to feel any further
i curiosity about him. lugersoll has changed
I remarkably within the past year. At that
distance lack he had sueoeoned in reducing ,
himself until frotn a noticeably fleshy man
I lie bad come down to the orduiany portly
| iiroportions. The theory was given out
THE MORNING NEWS: MONDAY, SEPTEMBER .1, 1887.
that he had brought about the change by
confining himself exclusively to a meat
diet—in other words, that Col. lugersoll
had cut off from his list of edibles all vege
table matter of every kind. Tile cure cer
tainly does not seem to have been at all per
manent. The great heretic orator is fatter
than he ever was before in his life, and
moreover, he has grown rapidly old. As he
walks from place to place liis shoulders
stoop forward, and his clothes hang upon
him ungracefully, and as though they had
been made for some other man. lugersoll,
with all his superabundance of tissue, used
to be a rather natty and elegant being.
Now he looks more or less slouehy and care
less, and he has also grown serious in his
manner. In former days his face iieamed
continually with a smile of broad and ex
pansive proportions. Now he goes along, ■
with bis hands folded behind him, his eyes
fixed upon the pavement and an expression
of deep and solemn meditation upon bis
countenance. He brightens up, however,
when he meet* anybody he knows, and the
old look of geniality comes back into his
face. „ -
They do say that after lugersoll had his
severe illuess’last winter he has uot been the
same man iu the bright and airy carelessness
of his daily life. Ido not mean by this that
there has been any alteration in bis views
of the hereafter. It is merely that his man
ner has changed and that he has grown to
take a more solemn and less light view of
tilings. He was a pretty sick man during
that illuess of his, and a good many of his
friends thought he would never get well
enough to resume the practice of his pro
fession. He is, however, busily engaged in
his law offices, and when the fall term of
court opens he will be one of the busiest
employed attorneys in New York. Inger
soll’s practice is enormous and probably
nets him a larger income than is commanded
by any other lawyer in New York, barring
Roscoe Conkling, who they say is taking
close to £200,000 a year in fees. liigersoll
is the attorney for Mackay, Stokes, and that
clique of operators in telegraph companies,
and his income from that source alone is
large enough to enable him to live in the
most expensive and gorgeous style- Inger
soll himself is not a great spendthrift, but
what he lacks in this direction his daughters
make up. It is said iu New York that they
“blow in” very large sums annually in the
ways which women most delight to follow,
and the big dry goods stores profit to a very
large extent from the lugersoll family, year
in and year out. The Ingersolls occupy a
handsome mansion on Fifth avenue when
they are in town, The members of the
family, I believe, are away just at present
at someone of the summer resorts, but the
head of the home, so to speak, prefers to re
main in New York and apply himself to his
law cases.
The Summer Resort Hat.
New York, Sept. 3. —I think a word
must be said in protest against the un
utterably ugly and vulgar aspect of many
hats affected by women at the summer
resorts this season. We have become
hardened to a great extent to the slip
shod dowdiuess and flabbiness of modern
tennis costumes, and there may possibly be
some good reason why tennis players should
adopt a slovenly and unbecoming attire.
But a broad-brimmed soft felt hat without
any trimming whatever and perched rak
ishly upon feminine heads, although the
rest of the dress may be and probably is in
excellent taste, is absolutely devoid of ex
cuse. These hats are at once hideous and
unrefined, and giVe any woman w£o ivdars
them a fast, common appearance. There
are any number of women who seem to
think that the country during summer ad
mits of every kind of license in matters of
the toilet, and that there is no better Way
of showing one’s renunciation of town forms
and ceremonies than by a reckless display
of idiocy and coarseness. Broad, soft felt
hate are, it is true, worn in Paris this season
and at the foreign watering places. But a
French woman, no matter what station in
life she might occupy, would have sufficient
good sense and taste to shun headgear so
wholly unadorned as is that worn by many
Americans. The French hats of this style
are wreathed in tulle and are ornamented
with long delicately tinted scarfs that are
knotted about the throat. A hat of this
kind is both useful and picturesque, but
should be rigorously avoided by every
woman who has not youth and grace at all
events, if not beauty. Yet, unfortunately,
it is precisely the fat . the aged, the decrepit,
the bewigged and the gawky people who
affect such startling monstroeities of attire
as untrimmed crush hats. The sailor hat is
certainly outrageously misappropriated, but
this last invasion into the domain of the
beautiful is even worse.

He Got Advice.
From the Griffin {(fa ) Sun.
A gentlemen from tbe country bailed
Col. T. W. Thurman, a well known Griffin
attorney, on the streets yesterday, and on
coming up with him, said:
“Colonel, I want a little legal advice,
which I am not able to pay for, and which
I hope you will give me.”
“Very well,” said the Colonel, “I am
always willing togiveadvice free, especially
mi the street, and to my friends. What is
it you want to know I”
“I want to know how I can get out of
working the roads,” said the gentleman.
“Let me tell you, my friend,” said the
Colonel, “about twenty-odd shears ago the
Yankees shot off one of my legs, and I’ve
never had to work the roads since. The
best way to get out of road duty is for you
to go aiid have one of your legs cut off.”
