Chicago and the Worlds Fair Palaces.

Four cities competed for the place
of host to the world, and Chicago was
chosen by Congress. And the young
city will be its own prOudest exhibit.
So long AZ America was colonized ter
ritory, it could have little to show in
glory of its discoverer. But when, in
1776, our young Nation cut her lead
ing-strings, crying to the world, "See |!
l can walk alone!" the glory of Column
bus was begun. The history of Chi
cago covers hardly more than the period
of our existence rs Nation.
Some humorist said, "The first white
man to settle on the site Of Chicago
was black man." His most ingenious
paradox refers to an escaped slave
from San Domingo who traded there
with the Indians in 1873; and Corn
wallis did not surrender until ISL
and he wouldn't have yielded then if
Washington had not insisted upon it.
In 1903, on the Fourth of July, a
United States sloop came to establish
Fort Dearborn on the Chicago River
The Indians did not like this, as we
learn from the american Gazetteer"
for 1904, under the entry; 'Isee
Chicago River, APPENDIX" The ap-
pendix tells how the Government of
the United States, "having lately de-
termined to erect fort at Chicago,
the officer, in spite of Indian threats,
declared that he was sent to build a
fort, and would proceed on with the
design. "
In 1912, the Indians killed most OF
the garrison while they were trying to
escape to Fort Wayne, but survivor,
John kinzie, afterward returned and
became the first real settler. The fort
being rebuilt in 1916, village was be-
gun near its walls, but the city was not
incorporated until lS37-the very year
Queen Victoria came to the throne.

Education Of Women.

The international character OF the
higher education Of women is an in
teresting fact which is brought out
IN the numerous articles published
upon the subject In SO many OF the
European countries. Even in this
country the question is still being
agitated, although We nave 237 CO.
educational colleges out OF 357 col
ieges OF liberal arts, and nine colleges
and universities for women only
whose standards &C, crd with thosf
that have been characteristic OF col.
leges of liberal ats. One Of the most
striking foreign arguments in favor
OF wOman's higher education, says
the Boston Journal, is treatise by
Helene Langc Of Berlin, written &c
encourage German women TO keep
pace with their English sisters.
Translated by l.. X. Klemm, and ac-
companied by comparative statistics
in ID. Appleton q Co.'S international
educational series, the book makes a
clear presentation OF the Higher
Education Of Women in Europe" and
Of the modern, progressive European
belief in regard to the reasons for
wOman's educational advancement
In England the first traces OF the
woman's movement were found In the
last century, when in 1892 Mary WOll-
stOnecraft published her "Nindication
OF the Rights Of Women" The most
distinguished colleges for women In
that country are now Girton College,
near Cambridge, Newman College,
Lady Margaret Hall, and Sommeryille
Hall, London University, Royal Hol-
loway College, opened in 1865, and
smaller colleges in Manchester, Car
diff, Bangor and other places. A sur
vey Of the nations in Europe shows
that generous provision for the
higher education Of women is made
in most large universities. From 1860
to 1852 France conferred 100 academic
degrees upon women; Switzerland
opened her universities to women as
early as 1868: in Sweden, since 1878,
women have acquired the same de.
grees in the arts and in medicine as
are conferred upon men; Denmark
Op ned its university to women, with
the exception Of the theological de-
partment, in 1879; in Italy the uni
versity was opened about 1876; Rue
STA has extended university privilege
to women since 1873; in Holland
women have never been dcbarred from
admission to the university; since
1883 the admission Of women to the
universities has become general
There is no law in Spain and Portu-
gal to prevent women from studying
In the universities, though the South
ern women have not shown much in
clination to avail themselves OF the
privilege. Germany and Hungary
seem to be the most conservative ma
tiOns Of Europe, since they still ex-
clude women from the universities.

~ the Port of Liverpool is the
marvellous and extensive
docks that line the Mersey, and the
most nlathctic individual must at once
be impressed with these wonderful and
gigantic harborI of stone which throw
omen their gates for the reception of
the commerce of the world, and afford
accommodation for the mercantile
marine of every country on the globe.
From north to south, for nearly seven
miles, the river is faced with II wall of
granite laid in massive blocks, APP
parently capable of resisting the action
of both sea and atmosphere for ages.
The entire dock estate comprises n
total area of 1911 acres-1105 on the
Liverpool side and 500 on the Birken-
head side. The quay line at the former
place, including basins, measures 251
miles, and at the latter place nearly ten
miles.
For many years the control of the
docks remained in the hands of the
corporation, according to the original
act of Parliament, and were managed
by committee of the Town Council.
In the year 1857 an act was passed by
which board of control, now known
as the Mersey Docks and Harbor Board,
was constituted. This Board lin
corporated in 1851 consists of twenty
eight members, four of whom are Gov
eminent members, the others being
elected by the dock ratepayers.
The number of vessels which paid
dock tonnage rates to the Board, with
their tonnage, for the year ending

THE GOVERNMENT SUSTAINED
JOKE TAKEN IN EARNEST.
Sacramento May Lose Her Capitol to
San Jose.

Sacramento May Lose Her Capitol to
San Jose.
Sacramento, Cal, March 13.-The as.
sembly today refused to reconsider the
vote whereby the constitutional
amendment for removing the state
capitol from Sacramento to San Jose
was adopted. The amendment had al
ready been adopted by the senate and
it now goes to the people to be voted
upon.
The adoption of the amendment by
the legislature was a surprise to the
whole state as the question had not
been mentioned this session. The
amendment was sprung in the senate
late on Saturday night and was imme-
diately adopted by both houses.
The prime cause for the legislatures
action was an article in the Sacramento
Bee, which appeared on Saturday ev-
ening. Across the whole front page Of
theBee, was the heading in large type,
THE Session Now Is Almost Over"
Another heading was.
THE Session Is Nearing the Tick Of
Its Doom and Sacramentans Should
All Be Joyful"
At first, the adoption of the amend
ment for removing the capitol was re-
garded as a joke. but San Jose took 1t
in earnest and quickly agreed to raise
a million dollars to build new capitol
besides donating ten acres Of ground
for site.

A LARGE ASSIGNMENT.

Boston, March 13.-The Atkinson
House Furnishing Company, with four
teen branches in other New England
cities, has made an assignment, with
liabilities of million and half, and
assets three million. The failure was
caused by the tight money market.
President Atkinson was seen this af-
ternoon, and said
"Of course, it is a big failure. but l
have reasons for believing that the as
sets will more than cover the liabili-
ties. A stringent money market was
the cause of all this. believe the lia-
bilities will fall short of $1,500,0OO
Since the combination was formed
and consolidated, and the company re-
moved its headquarters to Boston,
many manufacturers OF New England
who have been selling to the corpora
tion, have been requested to take
blocks of stock ranging from $4,000 to
100000, the traders being reminded
that If they could stay in the corpor-.
alton, they would be likely to receive
the bulk Of trade in their line; but the
company reserved the right to buy
goods Of whom 1t pleased; however.
the prices between the stockholders
and non-stockholders being equal. the
possibility was that the former would
receive the company's business. Finan-
cial men of Boston and New England
looked upon the scheme with more or
less criticism and doubt, as 1t was ru-
mored that very many of the leases OF
the concern are pledged TO money
lender in New England for loans at a
high rate Of interest.

Washington, March 1S.-The supreme
RENE court this morning affirmed the
Judgment of the court Of claims In
favor Of the letter carriers. In the cases
of Asap Post and Frank Gates. The
cases arose under the act prescribing
eight hours as a days work for letter
carriers.
1t was contended by the letter car
riers that the postoffice department
in constituting the act violated its in
tent and purpose. and was requiring
more labor from them than was con-
templated. In Gates case the question
was whether or notthe eight-hour pro-
vision as applied to letter-carriers
meant an average of eight hours a day
for month, the department holding
that any deficit in eight hours on SUM-
days or other days could be set off
against the excess over eight hours on
other days. %
The court rules that this cannot be
done, and that the carriers are en-
titled to pay for any overtime on any
single delivery.
In the Post case the position taken
by the United States. was that eight
hours should consist of the time en-
ployed, and the carriers could not re-
cover extra pay for other services with
