nIrs. Ida A. Harper and Her WORK on
the indianapolis Dallies.
The career of Mrs Ida A. Harper, who
was the guest of the press league at the
Auditorium hotel, in Chicago, recently,
and is the leading editorial and
editorial paragraph writer of the
Indianapolis News, has been in several
respects unusual The common incen-
tive to laborious endeavors is for the
most part at least in the beginning,
necessity, although sometimes long con-
tinued habit makes effortSeasier than
idleness. 1t was fondness for writing
and no other reason which induced
Mrs. Harper first to devote herself
to writing. Later it was this same lik-
ing which induced her to take up regu-
lar newspaper work. For eleven years
Mrs Harper conducted q department
called "A Woman's Opinions" in the
Terre Haute Mail At this time the
Mail was the most prominent Saturday
evening paper in Indiana, and these ar
ticles were widely copied Mrs Harper
is capable of doing an immense amount
of regular work. At one time she
travelled and wrote weekly letters
of correspondence for eleven differ
ent papers, sending to each letter
expressly prepared and quite unlike
either of the others. For nine years she
has conducted the womenS department
in the Locomotive F1remenS Magazine,
which is one OF the most widely circu-
lated of any OF the labor publications
In speaking of it she says that she con-
siders this her most important work, on
account of the class of women she Is
able TO reach through It's columns A
few Yeas ago Mrs Harper was offered
the associate editorship OF the Terre
Haute Daily News She accepted the
position and in a few months she YVES
made managing editor, which, By the
way, is a most unusual position for
woman to occupy on political daily.
During the time that she occupied this
position there occurred one Of the most
exciting municipal campaigns in the
history of the city. Taking the best
men from the two tickets she made up
an independent ticket, and every man
she thus nominated was elected She
continued in this position until she ac-
cepted the one she now occupies OF asSo-
ciatc editor of the Indianapolis News
Mrs Harper is a thoroughly feminine
woman, and is not Indifferent to any
thing which interests her sex, and. in
deed, is keenly interested in all that
concerns humanity. She is an advocate
OF the higher education for women. and
is preparing her only daughter for a
university course She is the represent
alive of the Press League for Indiana

A Snake Story Which VIII Easily Head tho
List.
In Central Dakota, on the Missouri
bottoms there exists one of natures
strongest freaks The settlers term it
the pump snake" How it came there
and where it came from is yet unknown.
1t first made its appearance in Emmons
county in the springtime of 1856. \
fuli-grown pump snake measures about
sixteen feet in length and about three
inches in diameter. They are of gre
garicus habits, roaming the prai-ies in
large herds, as many as three hundred
having been counted in single flock.
II dissecting one Of these reptiles there
is found tube, which extends from the
root of the jaw to the extremity of the
tail, and terminates in an opening. This
tube is about two inches il diameter
and lined with a tough, yielding sub
stance similar to rubber. The pump
snake is easily trained to answer the
call OF man. The inhabitants of this
section trap them in large numbers
A farmer on Cat Tail creek has
flock of twenty pump snakes trained to
a remarkable degree of proficiency.
At the blast of whistle the snakes as
semble on the banks OF the creek. The
leader there is always leader to
herd OF these snakes, who is elected by
a two-thirds majority daShes into the
water OF the creek, leaying only the
extremity of its tail on the bank An
other snake immediately grasps the end
OF the leaders tail in its jaws, third
snake takes hold of the second snakes
tail in similar manner, ard 50 on, ex-
tending to the water troughs in the cat
tie yards, three hundred feet away.
The leading snake begins to swallow
or pump the water OF the creek, which
passes through the long line of snakes
as it would through nose, and falls in
a heavy stream into the trough
The agriculturist told of an eStraor-
binary circumstance which occurred
short time ago While working in the
field near his home he observed flames
issuing from the root of his barn. Wild
with excitement he hurried to the burn
ing building, only to see that it was
hopeless task for himself alone to at
tempt 10 extinguish the flames In de-
SPAR he gazed on the destruction Sad
denly he heard a loud ruStling in the
toll grass, whence issued his herd of
pump snakes on the nm The leader
hurled himself into the creek, the rest
instantly adjusting themselves heads
and tails from the creek 70 the burning
building. The last snake, standing on
its head, waved its long and flexible
body, from the tail Of which issued a
stream OF water that was thrown with
terrific force on the burning building.
Back AMI forth dashed the tail end of
the living hose, squirting the water
where it would do the most good, while
the loud pumping of the leader could
be heard above the roar of the confs-
grafton Within fifteen minutes the
last spark was out Then, and not IN
til then, did the pump snakes quit work.
They were completely exhausted, the
leader having tainted dead away. The
main part OF the building aud its con-
tents were saved thanks TO the pres
enec of mind OF these wonderful snakes

of this word is forever In this very
verse from which take my text Selah

intermission, and emphasis, but it means
eternal observation-disclosures GODS

woMEN.s LABOR AND WAGES.
Some Reasons for Inequality In the Ee-
muneratIon Given the Sexes.

Some Reasons for Inequality In the &c
Enumeration Given the Sexes
The annual report of the Massachu-
sets bureau OF labor statistics shows
that with the increased employment of
women and children in factories, the
number Of marriages and births has not
diminished on the one hand, and the
average death rate has not increased on
the other. In addition to these facts
the figures also show that the wages OF
women are less than the wages of men
in the same industries The explana-
ton of this disparity is that the women
do not perform the same work as the
men, and that in most cases comparl-
son of wages is out of the question
This answer, however, the Philadelphia
Record thinks, is not altogether salts
factory. There are some industries in
which the women do actually perform
the same amount of productive labor as
the men and yet receive less wages In
piece wages, for example, where the
amount of earnings depends precisely
upon the quantity and quality of the
work delivered, there can be no mistake
about the means of correct comparison
Yet in this kind of work, in which the
women deliver as much as the men,
they do not receive the same wages
The cause of this apparent injustice
TO women is said TO be found in various
social conditions One reason given for
it is that the supply of women is great
er than that of men in certain kinds of
factory labor, and that they are willing,
therefore, to work for less wages.
Another reason is that the majority of
women who engage in factory employ
ment have no families to support Still
another reason is that they are not sub
ject to the expenses of men for beer and
cigars, and that their expenses do
not necessarily require an enhancement
of wages to meet them On the other
hand, the new spring bonnet and like
expensive fancies of the women must
be taken into account But whatever
reasons may be assigned for the fact
that women receive less wages than
men, they do establish the equity of this
discrimination The same amount Of
service ought to be paid for in the same
amount of wages whether performed
by woman or a man.

police and bodies of workmen. Capt
Streeter drove their men away at the
point of a revolver and he still holds the
fort The opposition of the property
owners is easily accounted for. Amid
their palatial homes along the lake
shore there lies at the foot of Superior
street a battered old hulk of a vessel,
high and dry, several hundred feet from
the water. 1t is an unsightly thing.
and serves as dwelling to the captain
and his wife. Mrs. Streeter is as much
an original character as the captain,
and can swear as hard as any old sea-
dog.
Fifteen years ago the Rutan, owned
and commanded by Capt. Streeter, was
stranded at the foot of Superior street
The captain made no effort to float her
but remained in the boat Each sue
cessive storm carried her higher up the
shore till she was landed beyond reach
of any ordinary storm. The property
owners in the neighborhood began to
fill in and make land Piers were built
to the northward of Superior street
with the result that the northeast
blows deposited sand along the shore
and the shore line gradually ad-
vanced out into the lake. 1t Is
now three hundred feet further
out than it was fifteen years
ago. Capt Streeter's vessel is still
there. He claims the land his boat is
ON and all the natural acc-etion beyond
il as his own by squatters right The
owners of the adjacent property insist
he has no title To it. But there is an
old saw about people living in glass
houses and the advisability of throw
ing stones at other folks
There is some made hand there that
somebody pushed out into Lake Mich
igan without asking permission OF
Uncle Sam. So these somebodies do
not sue Capt Streeter in the United
States courts
But Capt and Mrs. Streeter have de-
cided at last TO so into society and
make their peace with the neighbors.

WOMEN AS DOCTORS.
Received Into the Medical Profession Now

Received Into the Medical Profession now
adays With Increasing Freedom.
Until generation ago woman doc
tor was hardly known within the circle
of the regular medical profession, and
they were looked upon in every COM
munity as charlatans or cranks. The
prejudice against them entering the
medical profession was almost univcr-
sal, and the prejudice of women against
their own sex in profession for which
they should be specially fitted and in
which, according to the Philadelphia
Times, they are specially needed, was
even more profound than the same
prejudice among the sterner sex. But
steadily although slowly, public senti-
ment has advanced to accord to women
the obviously just right of entering any
of the professions, and women now
practice both law and medicine in every
section of the country.
The progress of the age in advancing
women to their just rights in the battle
of life was impressively illustrated in
the academy of music recently, when
forty-two young women appeared upon
the stage as graduates of the VIC mems
medical college, of this city, with their
fairly won titles of doctors of medicine.
1t is gratifying to know that this coli
lege has been in existence for forty
years but it is only within the last
score of years that 1t has been able to
present anything approaching gradu-
ating class respectable in number. Now
women practitioners are not only
known but respected in almost every
community, and the success they have
attained in the profession more than
justifes the great battle that was
fought to win for them open doors to
distinction in the profession
1t will seem strange to the readers OF
history half a century hence to learn
that women were excluded from the
professions of the country until even
after the noontide of the nineteenth
century, for there is little reason to
doubt that in much less than a half
century women physicians will fairly
divide the medical practice with their
professional brethren, and men physi-
clans. in the many cases in which every
consideration of delicacy should prefer
woman physician, will be quite as I'M
common as women were a year ago.
