year in manner betting his necessities
and his social standing. This being the
case, be adopts the Economy idea Of celibacy
not % matter Of Christian principle, but
rather - m avoidance Of self laerifce, bases
1t upon more sentimental grounds, but that
is the gist of 1t. He may love Q woman to
distraction, but 10 be, for his own heppi-
ness, to impose upon her poverty, to doom
her to drudgery, to consign her to obscur-
ity? Not hel Perish the thought. Since
fortune has denied him the millions neces-
sary to make married life happy, he must
remain o bachelor, and find his warmest
welcome and coziest comfort ct "the club. !"
But while this tendency toward celibacy
is growing among the men of public society,
1t is no less increasing among Independent
women. In DAYS agone women had only
one career-that of marriage. To be an "old
maid" was . mark of dishonor. The one
who bore snch title wasa subject for deris-
ion. She was failure in life, in that she
had secured the favor of no man as bus
band.
Independent Women Get the Honor.
But this reproach is dying out. The
woman now who can support herself inde-
Pendently receives all due honor. 1t Is
hardly now considered to be credit to a
woman to be a rich mans pampered doll, or
Q poor mans slave The honor goes to the
woman who can strike out for herself, and
achieve success in the pursuit for which she
has talent and ability. The capacity of
women can never be measured or fully de-
veloped until, like men, she has freedom
and . fair field to show it without reproach
or hindrance. Domestic pursuits will be
mainly the sphere Of married women, but
''the girls, with choice an to marriage or
celibacy, have the world before them. They
need no longer dread being compelled ''to
pick up the crooked stick at last"
'The most favored women on earth are
the widows of rich men whose capacity for
enjoyment has not been crushed out by an
early life of hard work and short commons"
said lady at q dinner party. "Next to
them, if You talk about good times" she
continued, t'are those whose talents enable
them to be independent-who have no
crank of husband to say come, and she
cometh, or to say 60, and she goeth in meek
submission"
To such women celibacy recommends
changed BY love that promises the highest
happiness of existence. In olden times,
when celibscy was held In high favor as Q
superior condition of life, coercive measures
were adopted to tax the bachelors into mat
rimony for the benefit of the State, but
when in the good days coming marriage
reaches its ideal conditions celibacy,
enforced by selt-sacrifice, religious
scruples, ecclesiastical laws or decree of
fashion, will become q matter of second
rate bliss and a condition short of the high |

FIGHTING FOB A NAME

The Western University Opposing . Char
tor for the Duqucsne College.
A hearing was had before Judges Kenne-
dy and Porter yesterday in the matter Of
tho application for charter for the
Duquesne College. The application was
opposed by the Western University, the
officials Of which claim that they own that
name. At the hearing yesterday 7. D.
Carnahan, ESQ.,, appeared in behalf of the
Western University in opposition to the
granting Of the charter. Mr.. Carnahan
first commenced to pick out flaws in the
application. He said that the most
important one was, the application
did not set forth, as required
by the act Of Assembly, whether or not the
proposed corporation was founded for the
purpose OF profit or not. He also objected
to the general power of granting degrees
conferred on the proposed college. Under
the proposed charter they could give med
ical diploma to a graduate, though they had
no medical course. As to the name Of the
college, he said it belonged to the Western
University, the Duquesne College, char
tered institution, having been merged into
the Western University a number of years
ago, but still retaining its charter.
E. < Barr, ESQ.,, in behalf Of applicants,
said that as to the objection because OF
not stating whether or not the proposed
corporation was for profits could be over
come by amending the application to make

tomary Is to colleges As to the matter of
comforting degrees, it was the intention to
do so only with their graduates and for the
courses In the college. 1t was ridiculous to
speak Of granting medical diplomas when
they had no medical course. In regard 10
the name, "Duquesne College," he consid-
cred that the merging of the old college in
to the Western University and the disuse
of the name for 50 many years rendered
void any claim that could be made to it,
and the old charter, he asserted, was dead.

Court took the papers and reserved q de-

A Veteran Indeed.

Alexander Grourly, an inmate of the
Soldiers Home at Leavenworth, died
July IS, at the remarkable age of SO
years. The cause of his death was gen.
eral senile debility and gradual break
ing down of all the vital forces. He had
been quite active until the last few
weeks, and was verv confident of living
to reach the century mark, but when he
started to GO went rapidly, and few
days brought the end.
Grourly was very eccentric, and was
a noted character in his day. He par
ticipated in many wars and was an old
veteran in the fullest sense of the word.
His military career began with service
in the war of 1912, when he was 19
years old.
He served throughout the Mexican
war, participating from the beginning
with General Taylor's command.
= He also took part in many Indian
wars along the borders, where he was
generally found during his prime. His
last military duty was done in the late
war, during which Grourly served four
years, enlisting in 1861. at the age of
6S years.
At the end of the war he was given q
pension that has maintained him since.
He has been at the soldiers, home here
three years, buring which time he has
saved $3.50. There are no heirs, all his
relatives having passed away years ago.

ElDorado Times: Flax is a splendid
crop. The wheat was good, the oats
better, and the fax best this year.
These three great and good crops will

promising, and it will further expand
the circulating medium.
La Crosse Clarion: At the present

good crops of all kinds, is far ahead of
any year since the white man settled
upon it's beautiful prairies. Far more
wheat will be harvested and threshed
this year than any preceding year.
Oats are immense, many fields over five
feet in height and so thick a rabbit can
scarcely get through. Rye and barley
are excellent, potatoes and grass fine,
and corn that has had proper attention
is most promising, many fields tasseling
out. Everybody is busy in the har-
vest fields. Threshing will commence

ter wheat will be sown this fall than
ever before in one year in the history
of the county.
