HIGHER EDUCATION FOR WOMEN,
LET THE STATE ENDOW AN UNI
VERSITY FOR THEN.
They are too Good and too Pure to be
Mixed up With the Boys.
Wilmington Messenger. !

Wilmington Messenger.l
We hope the time will never come
when the University Of North Carolina
will be opened to girls. They are too
pure and good for such treatment. If
they need the higher mathematics and
a knowledge of the physical sciences
and philosophy; if they desire to &C
quire Latin and Greek, French and
German, Italian and Spanish, includ-
ing "Pigeon English" and "Volapuk, I"
then let the State do the right thing
and endow an University for their spe-
cial education. We talk with no men
who say they favor the mingling of
the sexes in one University. We can
see in it evil and much of it, and will
fight it SO long as we have pencil or
pen and medium through which to
reach the public. We do not object
to girls being finely educated. We
believe in them, and so far as we know
they learn as we'll, can go as far, and
often eclipse the boys in the race for
honors, as Miss Fawcett, OF England, =,
has just done at Cambridge University.
The world is full of brainy and
gifted women, and they excel in any
field Of endeavor. But if they are all
to become lawyers and doctors and
preachers and scientists and authors
and philosophers and railroad man
ayers and conductors and politicians
and stateswomen and merchants and
manufacturers and chemists and drug
gists and so on then indeed is "Othel-
los occupation gone," and man, the
inferior animal, must take to sewing
and cooking and house keeping and
playing the lady generally. And
then the world will indeed be upside
down and chaos and calamity will
come like deluge.
But We are on the side of the girls
every time as against the boys. We
took sides with the girls more than
forty years since, and had decided
hankering after their company. We
were very helpful in those sunny, bu-
collie days when life's young spring
was blooming with the roses and lilies
and the atmosphere was sweet with the
delicious odors of flowers that bloomed
in all their beauty. We are not going
to desert the girls in the waning years
because we are no longer gay and
young. We say educate and educate
and keep on educating the dear girls
until you fill their heads to bursting
with knowledge. Give them the best
the State can afford, but don't mix
them up with the boys. Porcelain
will not pack we'll with stone jars and
iron kettles. Do you seer Build the
girls an University if it is required.
But we ask, cannot Peace Institute
and St. Mary's and Oxford and Muir
freesboro and Greensboro and Char
lotte and Statesville and Wilmington
and so on give the higher education
they need3 If not then by all means
let the State provide an institution Of
the very highest grade possible in
which girls may be graduated after
being first graduated in the colleges.
Give them sort of Johns Hopkins
University in this particular. But
when they get their little heads SO
stuffed with human learning what will
the boys do? All will have to COM
promise upon Volapuk" as the me-
dunn of communication.

THERE is no doubt whatever that
very soon we will have a Soldier S

will see to it that it is maintained.

An Oyster Stew In Helf a Minute.

An Oyster Stew In Helf . Minute.
Ordinarily it takes fifteen to twenty
minutes to make an oyster stew proper
ly; but Yankee genius has invented q
contrivance which relegates the hitherto
popular system to the realms Of antiq-
uity.
l entered acaravansary up town which
is much patronized by ladies out ON hus-
band impoverishing expeditions and Or
dered an oyster stew. The waiter, to
my surprise, returned with it in about
three quarters of a minute.
Here" said I, II don't want any
ready made stew. Iwant one cooked to
order"
"This is cooked to order, sir" replied
the garcon, land I'll guarantee it is well
made, too. You taste it, and if you
don't like It I'll have another made in
the same time in your presence"
tasted it with difhdent lips and in
credulous mind, but sure enough it was
as good q stew as had ever eaten.
Curious to learn how it was done in
quired Of the waiter for information,
when he led me to the front window
and told the young man acting in
the capacity Of lightning chef what ]
wanted.
II can make you a stew in thirty-six
seconds" said the Briiat-Savarin, "and
this is the way do it,"
So saying he turned a set screw, which
sent steam sizzing through a tube in q
half inch vacuum under q copper plate;
then he scooped dozen oysters, which
he placed in the now hot plate, with the
juice. After few seconds he skimmed
the oyster juice. which lad begun to

The Future of Storage Traction.

One of the most important events in
electrical matters is the formation Of the
United Electric Traction company, with
capital stock of not less than 81, ,OOO,-
900. This company is a consolidation Of
the Daft and Julien companies, each Of
which is we'll known in its respective
field of work, and has done so much to
bring electric traction up to the position
that it now occupies SO commandingly
in the industrial and financial world.
Among the momentous results to be ex-
pected from this massing of forces not
the least will be a sudden and lasting
activity in storage battery traction, and
it is to be hoped that the way may now
be made clear for an extension of work

Great Development in Railroad Work.

Thousands Of cars are now being Or
dered by the transportation lines. One
order has just been placed for 10, 900 cars
for the Pennsylvania lines west Of Pitts
burg. The Union Pacific has ordered
5000, the Missouri Pacific 5000. the
Baltimore and Ohio 1000, the Hook
ing Valley and the Ingalls, syndicate
1900 each, and the New York Central
5000. This seems to show the general
advance in railroad interests over two or
three years ago, when an order for 1000
cars was considered a tremendously large
one. The quality of steel and iron used
in car building has been improved, in
creasing the capacity of freight cars by
800 per cent. While many of the old ten
ton cars are still in use, the majority of
the specifications call for thirty ton cars.

French Canadian Education Scheme.

SchcIhe.
L'Etendard publishes communica-
ton, dated Montreal, April %, and
signed "a Priest" in which the writer
states that certain person offers to de-
vote to the education of three or four
hundred French-Canadian young men in
the United States property capable of
yielding an annual income of at least
100000 The college would be estab-
lished in Canada and intrusted to some
religious order, but no residents Of Can
ada would be admitted as pupils, unless
the United States could not furnish
sufficient number. The students would
be provided with hoard, clothing and
tuition, without any fee or charge what
ever. The only condition for the reah-
zation of the scheme is the immediate
subscription of $4,000 or 5000 to wipe
off certain mortgages and debts, and an
appeal is made to the French Canadians
to contribute help in this instance. Those
having certain capital which they can
dispose of are also invited to invest it in
this scheme; u mortgage will be given on
the properties and twice the amount OF
capital invested will be reimbursed after
five years without any other interest.

A telegram received in this city late last
night from Glasgow, KY, the center of the
newly developed oil territory, says:
"a tremendous boom has been given to
the Kentucky oil fields by the striking of a
we'll to-day on the Theodore Winlock farm,
about five miles west of here. 1t is now
flowing at the rate of over 250 barrels per
day and excitement is running high. The
oil was struck at a depth of less than 300
feet, and as the drillers were not expect
ing to strike it at less than $50,
the rush Of oil and gas took them by sur
prise and burned the rig, causing consider
able loss The rig will be rebuilt and drill
ing resumed as soon as the well can be con-
trolIed. Big prices are being offered for
leases, which are mostly controlled in this
vicinity by the Kentucky Southern Oil and
Gas Company.

A Conductor on the Central Road Who

The Central Traction road demonstrated
yesterday to be of use in more ways than
one. "A heavily loaded wagon, belonging to
the PIttsburg Transfer Company, got stuck
on Fourth avenue above Smithfeld street.
Several unsuccessful attempts were made to
compel the team to master the load. The
wheels got stuck between the tracks Of the
Central and Second avenue roads so tight
that four teams would not have pulled them
out.
A cable car came along and stopped.
The conductor of the car had an idea in
stock, and he put it into practice. Getting
4-inch scautling, about feet In length, he
placed one end on the rear axle of the
wagon and the other end on the bumper of
the car. and, giving his gripman sign to
go ahead. The wagon was pushed up the hill
so fast that it was all the horses could do to
keep out of its way.
A large crowd had gathered around the
corner of Smithfeld street and Fourth ave-
nue., and cheers for the conductor followed
him clear out of sight.

Fifth avenue line, that Mr.. Ross was mis-
applying the proceeds of the late ball for the

''The statements made by Mr.. Flaherty
are false in every particular. He never sold
a ticket, and never did anything for the
ball. He had the cheek to call on me on
February for share of the proceeds. All
the time he was working in good position,
and was only idle by the strike one week,
while the other men were hustling for the
success of the ball. The Relief Committee
refused to give him anything. He got S.
relief money, and then boasted that he could
live one year without work. Despite what
he says, there is no scheme to declare the
strike off. also deny that have ridden on
the non-union cars. have not patronized

Agent Erringer was in the city on Satur-

the Duquesne Traction Company that

he also saw Mr.. Pitcairn, but we never even
thought of reducing fares to the East End,
and 1t won't be done. We realize that no
matter what we would 40 the cable roads
would carry their share of the people any
how.
SIT is not true that the number of local

be increased in the spring. There are now
50 trains a day to East Liberty between .

HE DOESN'T KNOW.
That Proposed Purchase of the Chicago and
Atlantic News TO MIR. Patton.


When Superintendent j. V. Patton was
asked yesterday if it was true that the Bal
timore and Ohio intended to buy the Chi
cago and Atlantic road, he replied that all
he knew about it was what be had seen in
the newspapers. He was not familiar with
the line of the road.
The Chicago and Atlantic completes the
Lake Erie and Nypano's lines to the Windy
City, and it is not likely that either road
would stand by idly, and see competitor
gobble valuable connection. If the Balti-
more and Ohio secured the road it would
give them a shorter line than they have
now to Chicago.
Yesterday the engineers of the Baltimore
and Ohio began work on the Grafton and
Greenbrier road with view to widening it
to the standard gauge. The road extends
from Grafton to Bellington, and it was the
intention of the Baltimore and Ohio to ex-
tend it to Elkins, and there connect with
the West Virginia Central.
