A Corner in Women.

Contrary to expectation and pre-
cedent, says the New York Herald,
the new census shows that in this
country the rudcr sex outnumbers
the gentle to the extent of nearly a
million. 1t is to be sincerely hoped
that nobody will say: "What are you
going to do about it?" for that is
manifestly one of the eases in which
there is really nothing that can be
done, except to feel uncomfortable,
for the condition is not merely acct
dental and temporary; it promises
to be permenent, for the discourag-
ing incorporation is not simply be-
tween adults of the two sexes, but
includes the entire population all the
way from extreme age down to the
cradle, and this in spite of all the
Mormons and other agencies for the
importation of domestic servants
have done to make the balance even.
1t, therefore, stands to reason that
not only is the genus old maid
doomed to speedy extinction, but
also that nearly Il million of the
young men Of America will have to
go Wireless unless each can raise the
price of ticket to Europe and two
tickets back. 1t also becomes quite
evident that the local valuation of
women will increase; any market in
which nearly a million competitors
are sure to ''get LETT in the struggle
for something not only desirable, but
absolutely necessary, is threatened
with "corner" that must be simply
gigantic in its proportions.

Father Curci is likely to get into

some time ago captured two young
girls, about seventeen years of age, OF
different parents, and demanded a sum
of money as ransom for them. One OF

adds, are without parallel even in the
