Every Coreau house has its mons quarters
and its wOmen's quarters. The women's
quarters are usually at the back of tho house,
and when one calls on Corean he is always
entertained in the mems quarters. The Corean
girl goes into the women's quarters Mt the age
OF seven and she remains there all her life
This life is thus far different from that of the
American girl. First she is born, little
almond-eyed Corean baby of pink and yellow
Her lips arc as red as those of our own little
kids. Her fists are as chunky, and her little
pink-and- yellow toes are as cute as those of
babyhoOd the world over. She cries in the
same language as her American sister, and she
creeps and sprawls about over her mothers lap
with the same independent individuality that
we see in our children. She learns to walk as
we do, and she has her playthings in common
with her brothers until she arrives at the age
when our children start TO school. Then she
says "Good-by :" TO her boy playmates and goes
into her seclusion for life. After seven she sees
no men but her father and brothers until she is
married, and then she goes into the women's
quarters Of her husband and is the slave of her
husband and her father-in-law.

Marriage is one of the most important insti-
tutions of Corea, and il is moro important to the
man than 10 the woman. A boy is of no ac-
count until he is married, and his wedding
marks his entrance upon social, business or
political life. The bachelor in Corea is worse
of than he was under Lycurgus, the GreciRn
ruler, where he had to pay fine for remaining
a bachelor, and had to march around naked in
the professions Of bachelors during the bitter
cold days of the Winter and sing n song COM

aud unmarried girls looked on and laughed.

THERE should be a law regulating
the commercial agencies. Their
present modes of doing business are
unjust, and as an illustration we know
of a case where a few enemies Of a
certain business man who enjoys good
credit and has ample means, under
took to injure him by reporting to
the commercial agencies that he was
a bankrupt; and in another case,
where the person is not worth more
than two or three thousand dollars
reporting himself as worth over
$4,000. The agencies should be
made responsible for damages result.
ing from false reports they may send
out. Then the agencies should be
protected by making it a criminal
offense for a person to make a false
statement of his assets and liabilities
to the agency or its representatives.
Walsh's house bill on this subject is
a move in the right direction, but it
should make the man who obtains
credit ON a false statement liable to
punishment that will put a stop to
such business. We see very little
difference between stealing goods
from a man and obtaining them Oh
credit by false statements and never
paying for them. While our Solons
are legislating on the subject let them
cover the whole field.

ity on the tariff question, says that
the duties under the tariff act now in
force L equal to 1874 cents per cap
ita of population yearly, including .S2
cents per capita on sugar, leaving for
all other articles 2.52 cents per capita.
Some of the present duties have been
too low to be protective, under the
rulings of the retired secretary of the
treasury, which has caused some of
the wooden mills to suffer heavy loss,
entailing financial difficulties with
some failures. On articles with full
protective duties, where the domes-
tic manufacturer controls the market,
the foreigner pays the duties.

AT the last meeting of the board of
county commissioners the PRESS was
awarded the county printing, it being
the lowest bidder, but when the
printing was given to us we had an
idea it was only given to make a pub
lie show of economy and the action
of the purchasing agent since then
confirms this belief. The PRESS was
awarded the printing at low rates,
but another office gets the work on
the quiet at high rates and the money
of the people is unlawfully squander-
ed in this way. By his actions the
purchasing agent plainly says "the
commissioners and public be ID,
I am running the county finances and
will order printing where 1 please
regardless of the cost and the PRESS

Wreck.
Terrible Natural Gas Horror at c.

Seventy Wounded.

INDIANAPOLIS, Jan. 28.-The fast Z
press on the Air Line division of the Lou
isville, New Albany and Chicago railroad
wa wrecked at the trestle over Wilson's
creek, sixteen miles north of this city,
shortly before 8 a. IN. Seven persons
lost their lives and I'VE twenty were i'll
jured, several fatally. Good time was
being made when the truck of the tender
jumped the track just as the edge of the
trestle was reached. In this condition it
was dragged over the trestle, which was
safely cleared by the engine, baggage
car and smoker, the ladies' day coach
and the sleeper making up the rest of
the train. The pulling of the trucks
across the trestIe is supposed to
have Embossed the rails, and when the
ladies' coach reached the center the
structure gave way and it fell with a
crash to the creek below, a distance of
forty feet. The sleeper followed and
completed the destruction of the ladies'
coach by falling upon it. 1t then rolled
to one side. Almost simultaneously with
the falling of the first coach it took fire,
and added to the terror of the women,
children and men who had been caught
and wedged in the wreck. After clear
ing the trestle the baggage car and
smoker also left the track and rolled
down the embankment. Everything was
in the greatest confusion, and the cries
of the persons pinioned IN the burning
wreck of the day car seemed to paralyze
those who had escaped without injury.
1t was several minutes before any assist
ance was attempted, and then it was too
late to be effective, as the flames had en-
veloped the entire car, and many of the
voices that had cried in piteous tonesfo o
help were already silenced by the de-
vouring flames.
AS o as the flames had subsidized
the work of recovering the dead
bodies began. The train which leaves
here for Chicago at 1880 a. m. arrived at
the scene soon after the accident, and
was Immediately converted into a relief
train, the passengers aiding those on the
Inflated train in the work of rescuing
the bodies of the dead and caring for the
injured. The charred bodies were taken
from the wreck and arranged alongside
of each other Oh the bank, presenting a
most horrible sight.
The list of dead is as follows: Mrs.
Nellie Eubank, of Broad Ripple, Ind;
G. o. Deming, of Frankfort, Ind; Mrs.
Octavia Oldham and her two twin girls
2 years old, of Sheridan, Ind; Miss
