THE SUPERIORITY OF WOMEN

An Old Custom That VIII Some Day Give
Way to IA Better One.
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 Il 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
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 II name which she feels competent
to distinguish for one which will be
handicapped by her husbands S relative
inferiority, All along the line this
summer women have triumphcd.

eral fellowships by the Chicago

Toilettes for Ladies.

For stylish evening costumes the
silks of the present season have never
been surpassed in fanciful variety. The
inter weaving of two or more colors
predomnates in these tissues and pro-
duces novel and original effects in
blending shades, which are still en-.
hanced by the glistening MORE surface
that is given to many of them. Among
other novelties the broche moires are
particularly attractive having delicate
broche figures of one color standing
out against the watered ground OF a
contrasting color. A rich brocade for
reception gowns is called "damas
camaieu." This material has repped
ground in some solid color with de-
sign in satin of the same color shot
with white. The painted bengalines
are evening silks with light grounds,
having printed Pompadour bouquets
which look as if painted in water col
ors. They are often combined with a
new velours pe'uche. These items,
as wei as many Others equally attrac-
tive, are to be found in the Mcdowell
Fashion Magazines just received. The
latest numbers of these artistic publ
cations maintain still their high stand
ard of excellence, which makes them
Of ines:imable value to all devotees Of
fashion, and easily accounts for the
wide spread admiration they secured
at the Worlds Fair. A special new
inducement has been introduced in
them in the shape of pattern coupons,
by which one can secure many novel

Ruling on a Kansas PostoNlce Which
Has an Important Bearing.

Postmaster General Bissell has
made an important ruling in post
office case in Kansas. A few days
after the Harrison Administration
came into power change of post
master was made at Udall, in Cowley
county, of that State. A seco d APP
pointment for that Office was made
March end. Recently the Demo
Gratis Of that community asked that an
other appointment be made, and the
demand for it was SO strong that 1t
was made test case. The question
presented was whether the second
man, appointed on March end last,
would be allowed to hold for four
years or hold until the end of the four
years from the time the first Repub l.
can was appointed. 1t was held by
the department that the postmaster
appointed on March end would be al
lowed to hold the Office for four years
from the date Of his individual ap-
pointment. This ruling applies to all
classes of officers. 1t affects thous
ands of Offices, and the Democrats
are naturally not in love with the rul-
ing.

The reports of the last census. as
nearly as can be ascertained, show that
outside of domestic service America had
in 1890 2, 700, 900 bread-winning women
and girls working outside of their own
homes. There We're 10 lawyers, 165
ministers 800 authors, 5sS journalists,

(based on the census of 1850. Here is
an army of women depending upon
themselves for support and probably
taking care of others. Any talk of rel
egating these women to life of de-
pendence is mere foolishness. The
question to consider is how best to
adapt this new factor to existing condi-

State Superintendent Schaeffer's Report

The annual report of Superintendent
of Public Instruction Schaeffer is now
in the hands of the Safe Printer. In
1t he will recommend that a school
census be taken to ascertain how many
children there are in the State out of
school that should be receiving an
education. During the present year
he will make careful study of the
school census in the different States
and territories of the Union, with a
view of devlslng feasible plan for
taking the census in Pennsylvania
which he will submit to the next Legis-
lature in his annual report of 1904.
DR.. Schaeffer will state in his report
that the effect of the increase in the
annual appropriation to the schools to
SIS, 900, 900 is seen in the increase Of
teachers salaries, the lengthening of
school terms and the erection of better
school houses. He will give the free
textbook law, enacted by the last
Legislature, his unqualified endorse.
ment and state that the one great ef-
feet of free textbooks in this State is
shown in the increased attendance in
the schools, especially in the upper
grades.
DIR. Schaeffer states that the act of
repeal of May 81, 1898 repeals the act
OF June IS, 1885, providing for the
close of schools on legal holidays. He
recommends, however, that the direc-
tors order the closing Of the schools

ONE TOUCH OF NATURE

Audience.


II was at one of the great congresses

of progressive ideas. The crowd had
quite overfowed one room and filled

repeat their programme to the overflow
meeting. The night was insuffcra bly,
hot, the people disappointed and inn
patient To mako 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 carnestness of
thought and purpose, to which she has
devoted lifetime of effort and sacri-
fee. Still, this crowd was not suf-
frage gathering. They were not in sym

the plain gown who addressed them
She knew intuitively that she was not

down each side her face, made every
