GIRLS GOING AHEAD,

In this months Harper's Charles Dudley
Warner calls attention to the intellectual
progress of women in this country and
warns man, who is too often a mere money
maker, to take care lest his sisters outstrip
him in the race. Mr.. Warner insists that
the intellectual side of American women is
being strengthened in a remarkable way by
the tasks and pastimes of purely mental
sort which by the fashion of the day are pop
ular with their half OF the rising generation.
That this activity of mind is largely a
matter of fashion, after the manner,of the
procession OF bonnets and gowns, Mr..
Warner admits, but he properly declares
that fashion is not to be underestimated,
and when fashion continues and spreads
like this. it is significant of great change in
society. The results of this change are ap-
parent enough. Women are to be found
successfully competing with men in pro-
LESSONS and trades from which her
sex debarred her altogether 20 years
ago. Among the arts and sciences
woman is extending her dominion.
She no longer sits respectfully on the door
step Of the temple of knowledge, waiting in
humility till some man-superior in his
strength-shalI invite her to step into the
vestibule. She walks right in, and the PEN
etralia of the temple are not hid from her.
Mr. Warmers monition is worth needing.
The intellectual side of the average man is
not getting anything like fair share of his
attention. The girls are using their brains
to better purpose than the boys in many in
stances. 1t is a humiliating spectacle in
some aspects; regrettable in all. We are
glad of the mental cultivation of woman,
put man would do well to keep pace with
her

THE ANTHEM FOR AMERICA.

At sixteen of the principal thesters in
New York City the audiences are now
played out nightly with "The Star-Spangled
Banner" Two of our theaters here have
also adopted this patriotic custom. and there
is a general movement throughout the land
to coLelude performances with the orchestral
rendering of national air. 1t is capital
idea and wherever it has been carried into
effect the theater-going public has hailed it
with delight. The DISPATCH suggested
the plan several weeks ago, and it has been
Endorsed BY many of our contemporaries
since.
In the n. Y. Sun we notice correspond
ent's advocacy of 1.-The Star-Spangled Ban
ner" as the national air for the purpose, and
especially as compared with a popular tune
known as America. The words of the
latter anthem are unexceptionable. but the
tune is un fortunately identical with "God
Save the Queen" the British national air
par excellence. We agree with our esteemed
cotemporary's correspondent that we have
no particular need to borrow the English
national anthem for use on every public oc-
casion. 1t is curious to note that "Amer-
lea" originated In tune book called ''The
Boston Academy" and that ever since it
was published in 1886, the American people
have been singing az all OF their festivals
Britain's national air, God Save the
Queen" which little more than a century
ago was insultingly sung in the streets of
New York by our most bitter enemies, the
soldiers of that hated monarch, King
George, at which time Victoria had not
assembled the throne, and the tune was
known as "God Save the King"
By all means let us have a national air
that is bones, body and soul, American
"The Star-Spangled Banner" fills the bill
admirably, and the more we are familiarized
with its patriotic strains the better.

HAI.EARIE CRITICISM.

Some remarks made by General A J.
Warner, Of Marietta, Yesterday, to a re-
porter OF The DISPATCH are remarkable
partisan measure is not ten obtained from
a partisan, but in that category General
Warmers comment upon the McComas bill
must be placed. General Warner is q
staunch Democrat, several times returned
to Congress by the Fifteenth Congressional
District o Ohio. and he might be pardoned
for not enthusjng over a Republican tact
ical measure such as the one in question.
But he has happily reached a higher plane
of observation than most of his brethren.
He thinks the McComas bill ought to pass
and will pass, and he admits the constitu-
tional right of Congress to legIslate on this
question.
THE DISPATCH is entirely with General
Warner when he says that something
should be done to stop this everlasting
gerrymandering for partisan ends solely, "
but as to the availing virtue of the Nc
Comas bill to this end is not assured. 1t is
comforting, however, to find an Ohio
Democrat who can see that his political op-
ponents have not a monopoly of unright-
eousness. As Mr.. Curtis says in Hdrper's
Weekly, "Rascality on one side does not
condone knavery on the other" and it is
the recognition OF this fact by an ever-ln-
creasing number of citizens and voters that
is one of the most reasSuring signs of the
times

Among other things the letter says:
I'VE have recently ascertained that for
months the Democrats have been engaged in a
general and secret distribution of anti-protec-
ton literature in many doubtful States and
Congressional districts. and that they have en-
ployed corps of agitators and organizers to

preaching free trade doctrines, and distributing
pamphlets. Meanwhile, demands for documents

MIR. CARNEGIE's SECRET.

Mr.. Andrew Carnegie's article on "How
to Win Fortune" W hich The DISPATCH
recently reprinted from the New York
Tribune, has attracted wonderful attention
and the Tribune has lound it necessary to
issue it in pamphlet form to supply the de-
mand Tor it. As we remarked at the time
Mr.. Carnegie's advice on this subject is full
OF encouragement and inspiration for the
poor man. The youth of the country could
not have a safer adviser. 1t is all because
Mr.. Carnegie, the rich man, the great man.
uacturer, the beneiactor, is still very close
to the people. He has not forgotten that he
was poor boy few years ago; better still
he does not want to forget it. Yesterday
when he was surveying proposed sites or
the Library ne remarked TO the Commission
ers who accom- panied him: "Ot course you
gentlemen know more about it than do,
but I tramped over the ground here many a
time when was boy delivering telegraph
messages"
The messenger boy of yesterday has won
fortune, and it seems to be his chief desire to
give the boys OF to-day all the help he can
in the race. Mr.. Carnegie knows the secret
Of happiness.

WELCOMING THE sCoTCH.IRIsB.

The meeting which Mayor Gourley has
called Tor Saturday next in the interest of
the forthcoming Scoteh-Irish congress ought
to be attended not only by those who take
an interest In this ethnic celebration but
by all who have the welfare of Pittsburg at
heart Mr.. Gourley rightly estimates the
Importance of this event. 1t would be a
misfortune as well as a disgrace to the COM
munity at large il the distinguished guests
on the occasion should fail to receive fit
ting welcome.
1t is gratifying to know that pecuniarv
deficiency is not likely to occur. Still there
is not too much time to spare, and those who
attend the meeting on Saturday should take
their check books with them. Pittsburg
must see to it that the Scotch-Irish con-
vention is a success in every way-and
money, as we'll as sympathy is wanted.

MIR. BECK AND THE FISH.
A Monster Catfish swallows the Senator'S
Gold Eye Giasses.

Gold Eye Giasses.
Mr.. J. D. Balen, of Bay City, Micb., was a
close friend of Senator Beck, and relates this
incident of one of their outings in Florida. Ii
was at Green Cove Springs. at resort kept by
Alexander Morgan, brother of John Morgan,
the raider. At the back of the lawn. which ex-
tended to the st. John river. was a small foot
bridge kept for the purpose of entering and
landing from the pleasure boats used by the
guests, and from the bridge it was customary
to throw into the river all the refuse and debris
from the table of the house. As consequence
catfish of all sizes were in the daily habit or
coming close underneath to feed on the broken
vIctuals, and it a rare sight TO see the ngnts
and cOmmotion caused by the efforts to get the
largest supply by individual fish.
Senator Beck, Mr.. Balen and others were
standing on this bridge one sunny day, when
the darky from the house appeared with a
large tin pan of stuff which he dumped into
the water. In moment the fish were strug-
Cling beneath the bridge. and Senator Beck. as
excited as schOOlbOy, was leaning far over
the rail laughing, exclaiming and gesticulating,
when his spectacles in their case fell into the
water. In a moment a catfish, certainly two
feet long. rose to the surface, took in the case,
spectacles and all, and made a bee-line for the
middle of the river. The Senator yelled out
stop himi stop himi He's got my glassesp'
and then realizing the righteousness of the
situation, burst out laughing so heartily that
he could almost have been heard AZ Jackson
vile.

Man Regains His speech After Being
Dumb for Two Weeks.
BIRMINGHAN, CONN, May S.-Friends Of
Fred H. Couch have received letter from
him saying that his voice has been restored,
and that he can now talk as well as ever.
Couch is in Great harrington, Mass. The accI-
dent which resulted in the young mans becom-
ing totally dumb is very peculiar. About two
weeks ago he fell, striking his throat against
the sharp corner of table at the Osborne &
Cheeseman mill in Ansonia. A short time after
Couch was unable to utter a word, and the doc
tors we're greatly puzzled. Medical men here
said they had never heard of such case.
Couch became greatly discouraged, and few
DAYS after the accident started for Great Bar
ington with his family. On the train he be-
came troubled with an itching sensation in nis
throat So intense did the sensation become
that it almost drove him to distraction. As the
train neared Great harrington Couch looked
out of the window, and turning to his wife ex-
claimed: "Mother-used-to-go-
Mrs. Couch was overcome with Joy. These
were the first words her husband had spoken
since the accident. For sometime after re-
gaining his voice Couch spoke rather slowly,
but now his articulation is as perfect as ever.

bright carmine whiskers, thrO' which the wind
is blowing at the rate of 40 knots an hour.
ST. LOUIS Globe Democrat: In the contest
for the Democratic nomination for Governor
of Pennsylvania Pattison seems to be ahead Of
Wallace This is bad for Pattlson, for in Penn
sylvania the man who gets beaten at the polls
is the man who wins in the Democratic Con-
vention.
MACON. GA, Telegraph: At this time and
distance it seems that Hon. Robert E. Patti
son will be the next Democratic nominee for
Governor of Pennsylvania. Mr.. Pattison led
the Democrats of that State to victory once,
and Pennsylvania never had better Governor.
NEW CASTLE Democrat: Ex-Governor Pat
tison's chances for the Gubernatorial nomina-
tion got a big boost when the State Grange,
through Worthy Master Rhone, has declared
thew will support him if nominated. Then, by
all odds the State Convention should name
Mr.. Pattison and hold the Changers to their
promises.
BRADFORD Star: The Republicans of Nc
Keap are wide awake. They will not allow the
zeal nor the iugglery of newspaper correspond
enus with reference to the Congressional NOM
ination, to defeat nor divert them in their
choice for Governor Democratic organs anu
Democratic politicians are enlisted against the
nomination of Hon. Charles w. Stone WhyF
ERIE Dispatch: The committee in charge OF
the Hastings movement in Philadelphia Is not
conhning itself to work in that city alone, but
Is pushing the boom all over the state. Inc
circulars which are being mailed to the news
papers and to Republican voters in every To-
callty are subscribed by 200 or 300 leading he
publcans of Philadelphia. headed by Edwin h.
Filter and William R. Leeds.
ALTOONA Times: The city of Philadelphia
is likely to send very nearly solid delegation
to the Democratic State Convention for ex-
Governor Pattison, yet it is believed that ex-
Senator Wallace will receive the nomination
for Governor. Wallace seems to be in the lead
and is not very likely to be overtaken. Senator
Delamater is likely to receive the Republican
nomination for Governor. He seems to have
the Republican organization at his back.
