els there any way for a woman to
make a living in New York;" This is
question often written to me by readers.
It may be answered eyes" and "no. "
Unless a woman has special capabilities,
let her go to any other city rather than
come here. The metropolis is constantly
crying out for novelties, sensations and
something new. To meet this demand
requires an extremely alert and original
mind. To the unknown literary woman
the editor merely says, "sub-
mitl' He says as much to
anybody But to the point.
After becoming somewhat of an expert,
and possibly waiting six months or year
for a vacancy, woman may make
living here as a telegrapher, typewriter
or stenographer. II she has pretty face
and winning manners they will help her
out. woman who is quick at figures
and writes q good hand may become
cashier or clerk of some kind Good
saleswomen are always in demand,
and so, too, are those bright enough to
manage departments in the large dry
goods esta blishments.
A woman, unless remarkably endowed,
will find any artistic career difficult. at
the OLQer extreme, some women nave
made a living as book canvassers; but
the calling is repellant, and year by year
the large buildings increase the severity
of their rules against the admission of
peddlers into the offices. Women are
halted at the entrance and obliged to
state their eTrand. a porter is often
sent to ascertain the truth or falsehood
of their assertions that such or such q
tenant wishes to see them. Ger
tain printing Offices employ women
as typesetters. Skillfull female
physicians are generally able to build up
a practice here. There are two women
practiclng as dentists, and one gradute
of the Zurich university is occurring on
law. The female brokers came to grief
long ago. In fact, a woman anywhere
II or about the stock and produce ex-
changes is q rarity. The men don t
want them there. Women may gamble
in stocks all they please, but 1t must be
done through broker. The woman
bold enough to approach a ticker would
soon find herself the center of a mild
hammered moo.
Many women IN New York act as busi-
ness assistants to fiale relatives. Moth
ing could be more wicked than to pre-
vent capable woman from exercising
her talent, and one with genuine busi-
ness knack may gets living with dress

A STRANGE COLONY.


Thirteen Hundred Sqaatters ON the Penss.
cola Naval Reservation.
Surgeon j. w. Ross, who is generally
considered a. one of the best yellow
fever experts in the Government serv-
ice, called on Secretary Tracy, accom-
panied by Surgeon General Browne. and
made an appeal in behalf OF colony Of
people living on the naval reservation
at the Pensacola Navy Yard. Fla.
about eight miles from Pensacola. These
people. he says, number about 1900.
and are extremely poor, being descend
ants of tho employees Of the Pensacola
Navy Yard, which was closed almost inn
mediately after the war and has re-
mained SO since. They have built and
bought little homes, which they hold
without much expense, and their living,
such IS it is, is obtained from their
work as fishermen. !.
A few Of them scratch the soil and
raise a few vegetables, but the existence
is sort Of hand-to-mouth life that is
made even more precariOus by the occa-
sional ravages Of yellow fever, which
has swept the little colony several times.
The navy yard offers employment only
for few men who are engaged in max
ing occasional repairs. but the others
have been waiting in the footsteps Of
their fathers before them, for the re-
opening Of the yard in the hope Of OBJ
tanning positions. Micawber-like they
remain, clinginR to their hard homes
rather than 60 to the city, whore they
would DO obliged to pay rent. But their
physical condition, bad as 1t Is, is not SO
bad as their mental state, and that is
the inspiration Of DR.. Ross advocacy oi
the colony's needs.
The trouble lies in the fact that, being
squatters on Government reservation,
they are not regarded as citizens of the
State, and are consequently ineligible
to the advantages Of the States public
schools For years they have gone
along without any sort Of education
even of the most primitive character
until they have reverted, after couple
of generations, to condition Of semi
savagery.
Their ignorance is pitiful, resembling
that OF peasants in some Of the moro un
enlightened countries Of tho east This

LONDON; July 5.-That important in
structions have been sent to the British
naval squadron in the Pacific is q mat
ter of well-authenticated report, but
the nature Of the instructions cannot
definitely be ascertained. 1t is under
stood that the flagship Warspite has
been ordered to the Pacific coast OF Brit
ish America, and that a formidable ar
ray of men-of-war is to be gathered
there to defend vessels sailing under
the English flag against American at
tack. How far the English may be pre-
pared to go is not stated, but American
cruisers conveying prizes to San Fran
cisco will be very likely to encounter
English ships Of war on the voyage and
probably be asked for explanations.

The Treatment the Woman Suffrage Qucs-
tion Receives In tho Legislature.
II is the West which shows its power
again in the majority report on the bill
introduced by Representative Baker Of
New York, providing for . constitution
al amendment enfranchising women
1t is not probable, says the Boston
Transcript. that all Of those who have
agreed to the favorable report are dis
tinctly and politically in favor Of 1t.
Some Of them would undoubtedly re-
fuse to talk in private with entire seri-
BUSINESS on this subject. They would
prefer to be taken humorously. But
there is plenty of serious conviction
represented under the lightsomCness
with which this tremendous national
joke is taken by individuals. As body.
the House Judiciary Committee has. for
the first time in history. agreed to the
suffrage report; and however individu-
ais may play with the topic, serious
people must therefore refuse to look at
the matter in any other than serious
way. II the plan is that which has been
followed, year after year, in many Of
the State Legislatures, to favor suffrage
in one House and vote it down in the
other, it is risky game to play in
this instance, as the United States
Senate has several times shown itself
strongly in favor Of the test Of
woman suffrage in national vote on
constitutional amendment. In the
West that inclines to lead for woman
suffrage. Senator Hoar is characters
tically outspoken in its advocacy. Tho
South Is Enthusiastically ''solii'
against it. This verdict Of the Judi
ciary Committee Of the House will have
certain effect upon the popular decis-
ion of the woman suffrage question in
the new State where the question 10 to
be submitted to the people next fall.
In the West . generation has grown
up wholly untouched by Eastern ideas or
prejudices in regard to the fit place for
women. Co-education in Oberlin, in the
strong and scholarly University OF
Michigan, and in the hundreds of small
colleges, academies, high schools and
normal schools of the West. has had al
ready an enormous and unestimated In
fuence. Thousands of young people
study side by side, instructed by profess
sors who were instructed 1T Harvard or
Yale, Columbia, Heidelberg or Oxford.
These students have no thought tho
knowledge certainly. but not the reali-
zation-that there is any other system
OF education. This Is the average West

keen sense OF humor, he feels. when he
goes to Congress, that it would be ridic-
