THIS is a year for record breaking
and the extraordinary has become
common place: The 12O milerace
between the Prince Of Wales yacht
BRITANNIA" and the American
yacht, "Navahoe," was one Of the
most extraordinary on record. At
tho finish it was decided by the
Judges that the Britannia had won
by two seconds, but upon a review
of the facts the umpires reversed
the decision and gave the race to
Navahoe. Blu a difference of a
second or two in a race Of 120 miles
is certainly ar amazing incident.

AFTER perusing the bloviating
hyphen Of the past few weeks, the
average Republican must realize
his simple duty Of standing by
and seeing the deliverance Of the
Lord-the hyphen in the leading
role. Or is the Times-D Democrat
only suffering from a temporary
case Of political jimjams? In
either event the assurance exhibit
ed is nauseating in the extreme.

The democratic brethren of the
house should not allow their angry
passions to rise because the repub-
licans occasionally burst the
quorum when the roll is called on
a partisan measure. Tom Reed
told 'em how it would be if they
neglected to pass his justly celeb
rated rule that declares a member
present SO long as the speaker can
see him in his seat. But they
needed him not.

A third Newark case is that of Kate
McCauley, Il citizeness with a mixed
record, who was bitten by a strange
dog and at once had recourse to her

that the antidote was the same as for
snake bite. She was walking leisurely

of chronic alcoholism and acute hysteria,

hydrophobia would make Il big book. 1t
is certain that the dog, wolf, fox, jackal

genus, are liable to it, and that rare
cases occur among cats and pigs: also

not produce true rabies. But as to the

usually put it from July 90 to Sept.
inclusive. In ancient days Sirius and
the sun came together about the time

to. but surely most of it is the natural
result Of that Industrial and commerciAi
development which has created SO many
emplovnents in which deftness, refined
taste and delicacy Of touch are OF f%r
more value than mere physical strength.
If You doubt it, consider this contrasts:
France, in which the S@lic law prevails
from throne to crossroads postofiice, and
the political rights OF women are not
even SO much as mentioned, employs
more women in clerical and intlustrially
technical ways than any other country,
while those new states i'll which political
distinctions are almost or quite abol-
ished employ few or none. The more
advanced the civilization the less adj
vantage has mere muscle and the more
have quickness Of thought and delicacy
of touch. France makes her money by
producing articles of taste and beauty.
Wyoming, Washington, etc, make theirs
by telling trees and digging ores, by
ranching and rearing cattle.
With men good pay is the determining
factor in grading employment. With
women the neat1less Of the work and the
opportunity to maintain a good personal
appearance are at least equally potent.
LII stenography all three conditions are
satisfied. The pay is fair, the work is
clean, the finest costume IS not too good
for it. the eyes and complexion are not
injured. It is pre-eminently a wonanly
work.
And deal of intellect may be put in
to it, But it is there that we hear the
usual complaint. A woman stenographer
we are told. studies till she gets a posi-
ton and can fill it fairly well, and there
after it is all routine with her. She does
not strive toacquire general information
which would greatly increase her value
to an author or editor. She does not,
say these critics, even interest itself in
others of her profession. Ask any man
in that line who the stars of his profes-
sion are, and he will at once name you
such men as Isaac A. Dement,, who won
at the recent contest by writing over go
words ;t minute for five minutes, or Fred
A. Ireland, who can ''talze' the fastest
tal1er in congress and never miss a

Hunt Is considered exceptionally clever
and even brilliant, and as private secre,
tary Mrs Morton thought her a jewel.
Mrs Cleveland has happy faculty Of
avoiding literary responsibilities, and
during her husbands first term she EN-
ploy ed one of his secretaries when neces
sary, but there has lately been IL vague
rumor that a young southern lady was
to be her special secretary for this term.
Miss A. B. Sanger is a typewriter at the
White House.
Mrs. Eliza Boardman Burnz Of New
York is the veteran Of her sex in ste
biography and is the author OF "Burnz'
Fonic Shorthand" She was born Oct.
81, 1928, has long been retired, of course,
from active work, but is SO much in
love with common sense in spelling that
she will not even allow an to be used
in her name where the sound is that Of

Misses Flora B. Haddox and Ozella
Beman in Iowa, Miss Mamie A. Stockett
in Louisiana, Miss Annie White and
Sadie M. Swift in Massachusetts, Mise
Jennie Gage in Michigan and few 9TH
ers in other states.
Perhaps the best position in this line,
at any rate very good one indeed, is
that held by Miss Laura Hayes as pri-
vate secretary Of the renowned Mrs. Pot
ter Palmer Of Chicago generally and Of
the Worlds fair particularly. If any
one who has written to Mrs. Palmer and
received a prompt reply, though the pa
pers may have just reported her as in
New York or Europe, said writer may
hereby learn that said prompt answer
came from Miss Hayes, who is in very
truth Mrs. Palmers alter ego. She is
the ideal private secretary and has
stenographer to do the actual work. To
Miss Hayes go all the newspaper men
who want information of Mrs. Palmer's
doings, and from her come promptly all
decisions on matters which do not abso-
lutely require Mrs. Palmer's personal at
tention.
Miss Hayes is a native of Chicago.
Her father was one of its pioneer busi-
ness men and at the time Of the great
fire was quite wealthy. He died when
she was but an infant, and she has de-
veloped her talents under the stimulus
Of necessity. Her family is of old Massa-
chusetts Revolutionary stock, the same
| from which President Hayes was de-
scended, and her relatives on the moth
ers side were warriors in other and some
what later days. Miss Hayes is herself
lady Of many accomplishments and
has won distinction in other lines than
her present one.
It is, however. as a private secretary
that she has no superior. Mrs. Palmer
usually goes through her mail very rapid
~ in the morning, debating as she reads.
Miss Hayes adds the literary fn;sh, and
it is very rarely indeed that there is i
word a1niss or inapplicable.
