SYSTEMATIC TRAINING.
How Girls Can Add to the General Good
and Be Very Happy.

How Girls Can Add TO the General Good
and Be Very Happy.
Although so much has been written and
said on this subject l want to add my little
mite to the general fund, and perhaps it
viii help or interest some one who has not
noticed more wise and practical discussion.
Girls. your heads are all right, you have
plenty of brains, plenty of splendid and
dormant qualities that, if you knew how TO
bring out and develop them, would add
greatly 10 the general good and your happi-
ness and success. The trouble is you don't
know how to use your minds, the best part
Of them. You are ike work men with many
aud great tools who 10 not know the use Of
them, and so they lie useless and get rusty
as time goes % n.
How ! wish l could make each one of you
feel that unluenchable fire for knowledge
obtained a hrSt-class college education :;
until your minds were trained so that you
could use the tools God has given you to
build your own character and OF the char
acter Of those TO come.
Do you ever think that il is your duty to
so train and cultivate yourself, especially if
you contemplate marriage, which, of course,
all well-balanced young women do? You
have no right 10 hand down an indolent,
half-deyelnped mind any more than haf-
developed body. If you cannot possibly go
10 college, read and study alone, and you
will be surprised at the ease with which you
grasp subjects before out Of your reach.
Every girl ought 10 have a thorough train
ing in the classics and mathematics; then
they would be ready to dive into their
chosen study or business and bring up some
thing worth the time and labor.
Education makes the moral nature more
sensitive to the true, the beautiful, the per-
feet. As for more practical things, an edu-
Gated business woman becomes twice as
bright; a domestic woman twice as quick !;
a society woman more fascinating; lover
more lOVable. If you are not yet ont Of Your
teens and think your school days over, let
me implOre you to start this very day to
study and work with renewed energy.
Don marry; don't think yourself prepared
for any great work unless you feel that you
have mind trained to keep you from the
Quicksauds Of ignorance and doubt-JoHN

The Chilean War.

To the Editor Of The Morning Call: Since
last Saturday / have noticed two different
questions connected with the so-called Chill
can war, respecting which public opinion
in the United States does not seem to have
arrived at a conclusion, though such conclu-
sion ought to be easy.
1t has been seriously asked, for instance,
whether the United States authorities are
in duty bound to prevent the shipment OF
arms and munitions of war from domestic
to Chilean ports, and whether 1t would be
violation of neutrality to allow the trans
fer OF arms and ammunition from the Amer
lean schooner Robert and Minnie, then at
Catalina Island, and presumably within the
Jurisdiction of the United States, to the
transport Itata of the iusurgent fleet, des-
tined for IQuique or any OF the ports which
have been declared by the regular Govern
ment of Chile to be closed
Let me say first Of all that three PROPOSE
tl0ns ought &c be granted at once: ~ Inc
Chilean war is not an international contest
or a strife between regular belligerents OF
equal status before the nations OF the world;
II is simply rebellion. ~ The United
States Cusiom-hOuse cannot allow the ship
ment Of arms or munitions OF war to closed
ports. 90 Arbitration may be invoked DO
tween nations; never in a rebellion.
With these wel-recOgniZed international
Guilty about the decision of either of the
questions which have been raised in the
matter. Neither ought there to be any
doubt of the duty OF the United States to
seize the Itata as piratieal craft. LII the
carrying off of the United States Marshal
the insurgents have plainly insuted this
cOuntIy-a country at peace with the re9u-
lar Government of Chile and with the civil
lied world.
The United States is bound under the law
of nations to seize the schooner Robert and
Minnie and the Itata and 10 nave them tried
i'm Court of Admiralty. Furthermore, MIR.
Trumbull, the agent of the Itata, should be
arrested for unlawful acts against friendly
nation.
In regard TO the statements in some of
the newspapers that President BalmaceGa
has appealed to the Government of the
United States, Brazil and France for arbi-
tration, point without hesitation to his late
address to the Chilean nation, which makes
it perfectly clear that lie regards the insur-
gents as rebels and rebels only, following
therein the example of the United States
during the late Civil War in this country.

THE KAwEAH COLONY.

The Women Deny That They Cry Them
selves to sleep at Night.
The mothers and women Of the Kaweah
Cooperative Colony in Tulare County have
made public statement to the American
people in denial of the recent statements
made regarding the colony by writer in
one of the Los Angeles papers. They de-
clare the alleged expose" of ills in the
colony to be mass of falsehoods, aud de-
clare that Mrs. Wanna Goodwin, the ex-
member who is credited with saying "a
don't believe there is a mother in Kaweah
but cries herself to sleep more nights than
she DON'T" had nc ground for making such
a statement Mrs. Goodwin, these mothers
say, had no children of her own and no
reason for crying over theirs.
They say that instead of Fifteen children
dying in the colony last year of an epidemic
caused by insufficient sustenance" there
were but four deaths in the colony that year,
the victims being two cOnsumptives who
had come there to end their days, an old
lady aud a child who died of dysentery.
They claim that their children are healthy
and happy; that the colony is pros porous
and that they are all rejoiced to be where
they are.

Mrs. E. Anery, Aggie Evans, Emma Pardy

Mrs. Annie GULL VIII Not Lose Her
Husband.
w. B. GULL, charged with perjury, and
his pretty wife, Annie (nee Schellgrau),
were in Police Judge Worley's court yester-
day afternoon. GULL married her in the
latter part of the year 1890, and about six
months later her father had him arrested on
charge of perjury. alleging that he mad
sworn falsely to the age of Annie in order
10 obtain marriage license. At the exam
ination the prosecution failed to produce the
family Bible, which contained the record
OF the young woman's birth, and the de-
Tense showed to the satisfaction of the
Court that she was over Is years old when
the license was issued. Thereupon the
charge was summarily dismissed. Gull has
a charge against his father-in-law, Charles
Schellgrau, for false Imprisonment, the trial
of which was postponed Tor one week.

The stories anent the suppression Of the
negro vote in the South have been greatly
exaggerated" remarked a gentleman at the
Grand Hotel last night. The fact of the
matter is that there is no necessity what
ever for intimidation, and 1 am assured on
good authority that the negroes are allowed
to vote without let or hindrance. Accom-
panying the Hearst funeral were number OF
Senators and Representatives from Southern
States, and one of them / questioned very
closely on that very subject.
"'Now, to be candid | said to him, : is 1t
really fact that you white people actually
use force to prevent an expression of the
colored people at the POLISH

world was the laughing response of the
Southern Congressman, for / can assure
you most positively, upon my word, that in
ny State of Mississippi there was no inter-
ference Of any kind with the colored vote.
Every man Of them was allowed to go to the
polls and cast his vote just as he chose.
Why. the actual result showed that the re-
turns were only 5000 short of the registra-
ton Of the entire State, which would be an
unusual showing even iD Ohio. Did the
negroes vote with the Democrats? Why,
certainly not. We just waited until the bal
lots were all in and then set to work. We
had printing press all ready to start, ard so
soon as we could figure out what majority
we required we began printing Democratic
ballots, and kept 1t gong until enough were
obtained TO substitute for the Republican
ballots thrown out. 1t was a much safer
mode OF procedure and just as effectual.'

Colonel Jackson said he had some doubts
as to the proper Interpretation to be put on
the wording of the instructions which
specify the amount which the Treasury was
authorized to forward by express.
1t has formerly been customary to furnish
$500 or multiples Of that sum for transport
tati0n by express. But the new instructions
seem to authorize the Assistant Treasurer to
furnish any sum exceeding $500, and not
merely $500 and multples of that amount

meantime he intended to Interpret the in

should be the plaintiff on the ground Of

herself to marry a certain man with whom
she admitted that she had been very friendly.
The divorce was granted and the marriage
took place in my office. A year later she
came to me again and asked me to procure a
divorce for her from her second husband.
1t was obtained and she remarked her first
husband. saw nothing more of her until
about six months ago, when she visited me
n third time and sought another divorce.

grant it and offered her $4,000 She re-
