THE SUPERIORITY OF WOMEN.
An Old Custom That VIII Some Day Give
Way fo a Ratfar Opa

How long can it reasonably be ex-
pected that the old custom will last in
Difference to which wives are content to
be known by the surnames of their
husbands? All the recent tests tend to
show the superiority of the female
mind to that of the male. Mrs. Alice
Freeman Palmer in recent address
supported the cause of coeducation
with the argument that nothing in
the world will take the foolishness and
romantic notions out of girl so quick
as to work with young men and find
out how little they know" OF course
marriage has the same effect; but after
a girl is married it is too late for her to
save her maiden name. If she arrives
before marriage to the sophisticated
stage that Mrs. Palmer describes, she
may very reasonably demur to giving
up name which she feels competent
to distinguish for one which will be
handicapped by her husbands relative
inferiority. All along the line this
summer women have triumphed.

ONE TOUCH OF NATURE
Made Susan Is. Anthony Kin With All Her
Audience.

Audience.
1t was at one of the great congresses
which have formed the nucleus in ChiI
cago for the notables from every coun1
try and cline interested in the advances
ment of culture and the dissemination
of progressive ideas. The crowd had
quite overflowed one room and filed
another in the Art Palace, under prom-
Use that the celebrated speakers would
repeat their programme to the overflow
meeting. The night was insufferably
hot, the people disappointed and im-
patient To make the. wait less tedious
Susan b. Anthony was called upon to
address them, and she did so in the
whimsical and sarcastic vein with
which she wells an earnestness of
thought and purpose, to which she has
devoted lifetime of effort and sacri-
fee Still, this crowd was not a suf-
frage gathering. They were not in sym
the plain gown who addressed them.
She knew intuitively that she was not
holding them. Suddenly she stepped
forward to the edge of the platform
and said confidentially with little
smile: 81 didn't know was going to
be called upon to address you this even
ing. If had should have put on my
other gown" In an instant she had
won them, every one. The one touch
of nature, of vanity in this strong little
woman with the iron-gray hair combed
down each side her face, made every
woman her sister, every man her friend.
If vote could have been taken on the
spot everyone in the audience would
have cast ballot for Susan b. Anthony
and her platform.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 13.-The American
delegates to the international monetary
conference are in the city for the pur-

their report of the proceedings of the
conference. They met today at the res
idence of Senator Allison and discussed
the document, and will meet again to-

delegates from this country there was
very much better feeling towards the OBJ
jects sought to be accomplished mani
tested at the close OF the conference than
at its. beginning. They hope for sub
stantial results from the adjourned
meeting at Paris. Great Britain holds

the United States delegates a substan-

New YORK, Feb. 13.-The Panama

house met here today and examined
Board, who at various times occupied
the positions of general agent, secretary
and purchasing agent of the Panama
company. He declared that he never
made any disbursements except those
which he was officially authorized to
make. He was instructed to appear
this afternoon, with all the books and
papers.
Secretary Colne of the American COM
mittee testified that he turned over the
books to General Bristow six months
ago.
Nathan Appleton Of Boston testified
that IN 1879 he received letter from De
Lesseps, asking him to accept the posi-
tion of general agent of the canal COM
pany in this country. His idea was that
shares OF the company should be placed
on sale by the national banks OF this
country. The estimated cost of the ca
nal was $24O, 100000. In 1880 q sub
scription for $6O,000,00 OF stock was
opened IN this country and was a great
success. The amount was covered three
times over. At that time he
had not heard of the American
committee. He had drawn a salary of
$4,000 year as general agent of the COM
pany ever since, through the banking
house of ]. &. W. Seligman. To earn
this salary he did all ne could to pro-
mote the interests of the project bv
writing articles for the papers, having
himself interviewed, etc. He did not
know what inducements were offered to
Thompson to give up the secretarvship
Of the navy and accept the presidency
Of the American company.

Since an unknown wreck was sighted
off Cape Flattery ten days ago by the

SAN Francisco, Feb. 13.-Referring to
the dispatch from Los Angeles that
there was considerable dissatisfaction
with the new freight schedule of the
Southern Pacific, which went into effect
February 1st, Assistant General Freight
Agent Shepard said:
"As to the complaints from Los An
geles, if those making them are really
sincere in what they say, the simple
fact of the matter is that they are labor
ing under general misrepresentation
In the dispatch which l have just read
it is stated that all places on our lines in
Southern California are placed on an
equality with Los Angeles, as regards
freight rates from Southern California.
That is an incorrect statement to begin
with. All places on our lines are not
placed on any such equality. On
the contrary, very many, of them are
not, as l can readily show. One of
these points to which it is complained
we have given as low rate as we have
to Los Angeles is more or less directly
accessible by water. In that one fact
the whole matter Is explained. We
keep the rate down to those points to
what it is simply because we have to do
so in order to meet steamer competition.
If we are to be in the fight for business
at all, we must be there to some pur-
pose. That ia only business. How
much freight would we carry otherwise
No, no, there is no idea of diseriminat-
ing against Los Angeles, and those who
make the assertion simply don't under
stand the situation"
Another thing" continued Mr.. Shep-
herd; "before the new arrangement was
made Los Angeles never had the hand.

ought to control. Consequently the
freight to other cities went by sea and
did not pass through Los Angeles at all
Now that it does do so, owing to our re-

It were, and seem to be awakening to
the realization that they are MISSING
something. Before they did not know
that they were being hurt; but the

unusual amount of common sense and a

complexion specialists who are wise enough
to profit through woman's well known

As almost every recipe has exercise as one
Of its principal ingredients, the blind
searcher after tho beautiful concludes that
If q little exercise IS good a great deal viii

and give undue prominence to her muscles.
In a word, she has overdone It, and the re-
suit is the reverse Of lovely.
Exercise in moderation is what brings
about the gradual perfection Of ones pro-
