WOMEN AND JOURNALISM.

A Field Which Has Attracted Very Many
Bright Creatures.
There seems to be great setting in OF
the tide of working women toward jour.
nalism.. tits little curious that women
who have failed in many methods of
breadwinning should think it easy to
write for the newspapers and edit great
journals. Possibly the easy style that Is
in reality the perfection of good journal
ism seems to require only ready pen
and moderate fund Of general informa.
tion. Women soon learn their mistake.
They learn that absolute correctness,
reliability, punctuality, and, above all,
adaptiveness, are absolutely necessary to
even moderate success. Besides this they
must have what is technically known in
the profession as ga liking for the busi-
ness and willingness to do that which
they can do best.
1t will not do for fashion writer to
"write up" great religious or political
convention, although women's versatil-
ity in journalism is source of never
ending surprise to men. A newspaper
woman will write a pathetic sketch, re-
port fashionable wedding, make up a
practicable menu, give a charming ac-
count of some other womans new gown
with fidelity to details in many cases
quite beyond mans comprehension or
ability, write up the seasons openings,
compile o fashion article correct as to
style and novelty, and in addition write
advertisements, read proof, set type, do
typewriting, write on a pinch credita-
BILE editorial, and in the interim attend to
ner household and social duties.
The successful editor of today recog-
nizes that the homo and the fireside must
receive due and proper attention in his
"women's news" has developed wonder
fully in the last few years. Matter about
and for women that is helpful and in
structive must appear in each issue. Who
SO capable of writing for women as a
woman?
AS to the individual success of women
and their compensation, nothing very
positive can be asserted. In no other
profession does ability SO quickly receive
recognition as in journalism. There are
not SO many bright minds or good ideas
in the profession that both should not be
eagerly grasped at and we'll paid for by
the editor. The ability to express great
deal in few words is not usually q
woman's forte; rather is she inclined tc
use a great many words and express very
little. Strange as it may seem to those
unacquainted with the fact, there is 6
limit even to newspapers capacity, and
flow OF language, however eloquent, il
Gar from being the great essential.
The stogy OF the poet who took cantt
of fifteen verses to an editor for publica
ton and was told to boil it down and ex
tract the sentiment is very applicable
After repeated efforts he failed to satisfy
the editor and finally told the latter tx
do it himself. "Do you love me3 No
| Then co." was the gist Of the matter
and while this may be extreme the prin
ciple of multum in parvo is a good ont
for women who desire success as news

Not Yet Transferred. .

GALVESTON, Tex, Jan. PA special
from San Antonio to the News says
The fact that the San Antonio and
Arkansas Pass railroad was not trans
ferred to the Southern Pacific company
yesterday, as expected, is due to an
other hitch in the terms of the reported
sale. President Robinson, falling to re-
ceive any notice from either side, has
taken no steps for making the
transfer, and will leave tomorrow
for months trip to Arizona. where he
is interested in another railroad. A
prominent official of the road said ii
would not aurpriee him were the nego
tiations to fall through entirely, and in
any event he did not expect the road tt
change hands before next month.

and Rev. Mr.. Cowie. 1t was one of the
most successful missionary meetings
which the Episcopal church has ever
held in Southern California.
This morning there will be celebra-
tion OF the holy communion at 7:30
o'clock, and the closing business of con-
vocation will be completed.
The following message was sent yes

The Oakland water Front Is Public
Property.
OAKLAND, CAL, Jan. 24.-The superior
court sitting in bank, today granted a
motion for non-suit in the case of the
Water Front rant 81 sls city city Of Of
Oakland, thus throwing the Water Front
company out Of court. The decision is
based on the recent ruling of the su.
preme court in the Chicago lake front
case. The Water Front company
claimed title to the land in Oakland
fronting on the bay worth several mil
lions dollars.
The court in its decision holds that.
as the UAited States, supreme court de-
cjsioa i'll he Chicago lake front case
was the last authoritative utter.
ance from the highest court
of law, it is entitled to all con-
sideration and respect. It must
therefore be allowed by all state trib-
The case at the bar, says the court, is
not embarrassed by any uncertainty.
It can matter not whether the whole
harbor of Chicago or only portion
thereof was sought to be conveyed into
private .,ow wnership by the legislature.
The grant in this case is of still greater
actual and relative size. If in the Chi
csgo case the abdication WAS not con-
sistent with the exercise of that
trust:which requires the government of
the state to preserve such waters for
the use of the public, it certainly was
not in the case at the bar.
The land conveyed by the decision ex-
tends along Oakland creek and San
Francisco bay. for about 10 miles, and
comprises shout 5000 acres. The suit
of the Water Front company was not
against the city of Oakland but
against a number of individuals
who claimed to have equal title with the
water front company to the lands in
question. THE decision accordingly
makes invslid the claims Of all parties
to the lands, the ownership of which
xeverts back to the state.
