Police Uou,e,,.


Governor Lewelling of Kansas has APP
pointed woman to the police force of
Topeka. The usurpation of no mascu-
line occupation-fromt that of drum ma
jor to chimney sweep-by women causes
surprise now, but, all the same, when
the world is little older and wiser, it
may cause surprise. Most reforms once
started go with rush that carries them
beyond the point of common sense, and
it is not until there have been successive
reactions ard advances that they quiet
down, like an oscillating compass nee-
die, to point in the right direction.
A policeman's duties are very promis-
cuous, and apt at times to be exceeding
ly disagreeable and to require brute
strength aud u cold heart. Since there
are plenty of men to do this sort of work
the world is not richer. but poorer, ii
women can do it too Let the women
go in for scholarship, for all that is high
est and noblest and most refined in mon,
but let them not change their work ut
all rather than change to something less
refined, less Christian, less woman,s-in
the new and broad sense of the term
Let them Indeed direct the policemen
if they can do SO wisely. since policemen
are necessary, bnt let men execute the
orders.-Rochestor Po1t-Express.

Deputy TurreI Thinks America Should
Reduce tho Duties.
PARIS Nov. 15-Adolph Turrel dep
uty from the department of Aude, has
written to the minister of commerce
representing that q reduction OF Ameri-
can duties on French wines could be
obtained if it could be proven that the
wines exported are not wines OF luxury,
bat wines for popular consumption.
Turrel adds that the present dutiea ex-
cluda all bnt high.ciass wines, and il the
American duties were reduced, ordinary
wines could be exported as they are He
saye there are millions OF hectoliters OF
excellent wine in France which costs
only Is to 80 francs per hectolitsr. Tur-
rel finally urges the minister of COM
merce to draw up detailed table Civ
ing the production OF French wines, the
cost OF which Turfel is confident would
induce America to reduce the duties on
French wines whose purity is guarsn-
teed by certificates OF origin.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 15.-The excess Of
government expenditures over receipts
has reduced the available balance in tie
treasury to point lower than it ever
has been in the recollection OF the treat-
ury officials. The available balance to-
night is $9S.0S 97I. OF which sS4 994 476

ment declare the government will meet
its obligations without resort to any ex =

Old Laws About Women.

Renewed activity on the part of the
''women's rights folks recalls what are
described as 1.-TWO very remarkable en-
actments illustrative Of the helplessness
Of men'-one English, the other colo
NAL act for New Jersey people. The
English one reads as follows, ANY per-
son who shall by means of rouge, or of
blanc, of perfumes, of essences, of arti-
fetal teeth, of false hair, of cotton espag-
mol, of steel stays or hoops, of high heel
ed shoes or of false hips, entice any of
his majesty's male subjects into mar
riage shall be prosecuted for sorcery,
and the marriage shall be declared
void'--this was only in ITO.
The New Jersey colonial act. which
was earlier than this, differs but little
from the English enactment. 1t provides
''that all wclnen Of whatever age, pro-
fession or rank, maid or widow, who
shall impose upon or betray into matri-
mony any of his majesty's subjects by
virtue of scents. cosmetics, washes.
paint, artificial teeth, false hair or high
heeled shoes shall incur the penalty now

LONDON, Nov. 15.-The Times, this
morning, referring to rHmors adverse to
the Bank of England, says: An investi-
cation of certain irregularities with re-
gard to advances Oh securities is pro-
ceeding, but it lie probable the losses
will be much less than has been alleged.
and the reports of the retirement OF the
directors are erroneous. While it is diff
fcult to fix the blame on individual di-
rectors, We are of the opinion chat there
must be serious fault in the sys-
tenn under which the Irregularities
occurred. 1t appears TO US that on
the present occasion the bank will be
advised to depart from its customary
and proper practice OF ignoring such
rumors, and publish the facts which
concern the public. in advance OF the
half yearly meeting. Though the bank
is private corporation. it is also
national institution, and therefore
ought TO reassure the public when un-
easiness has been created by false
rumore.
The Daily News, in financial article,
says the rumors that large private bank
in Loodon is in difficulties are un-
founded. 1t also characterizes as un-
true the report that the Bank of England
holds $500, 900 worth of shares OF trus
tees and executors of the corporation.
On the contrary, it says, the snares be-
long to customers.

A Smiling Mistress,

The first yachting commission ever
granted to q woman by the United
States government will probably be
given to the Countess Festetics de Tolna,
who, as an American citizen, is able to
qualify as sailing master of the yacht
Tolna in lieu of her husband, who has
not yet taken out his naturalization pa
pcrs. The countess is Californian by
birth and knows enough OF navigation
to use its terms intelligently. Her com
mission will put the Tolna on about the
same footing in foreign ports as an Amer
lean man-of-war and will aid her to dis
pense with certain troublesome require
ments OF such ports.-Harper'

Against Miss Davidson.

Miss Davidson, an enterprising young
woman of Memphis, was elected notary
public by the Shelby county court and
entered upon the duties of her Office.
She was capable and was given so much
business that some other notaries became
jealous Of her success. They brought
suit against the fair young notary, claim
ing that woman was not eligible to the
Office. The case was first tried before
Judge L. H. Estes of Memphis. He de-
cided promptly in favor Of the defendant.
The plaintiffs then appealed to the su-
preme court, who have just handed
down their opinion. Their decision is
against Miss Davidson. They say it is
unconstitutional for woman to hold
this Office in Tennessee. e.-MeEiphis Cor

che Extensive Arrangements For Physical
Training In Ono of Their Ciubhouses.
Among the innovations at the Berkley
Ladies' Athletic club is hurdle jumping
1nder the direction of Miss d. NJ. Elliott,
one of the regular instructors. In order
to become proficient in this branch Miss
Elliott has spent the past summer at
Chautauqua, taking q course of study
and training, and becoming familiar
with other new exercises and ideas as
well, which she intends to introduce
into the class work
The Delsarte system is not generally
employed, the training being of heavier
character, though individual work of all
degrees is undertaken where the pupil
requires special discipline to meet pecul-
lar physical needs. Each member is
entitled to a physical examination and a
series of measurements, and is expected
before entering upon her work to con-
suit with the medical director, DR.. Mary
Taylor Bissell, who will advise as to the
proper kind and amount of exercise TAX
en- in every case. Private lessons may
also be arranged for Games are being
introduced this year for the young peo-
pie.
Physical culture is becoming continu-
ally more popular among woman, and
the Ladies club offers amplest facilities
for instruction and practice in every
branch, including cycling, swimming,
fencing, bowling, archery, tennis and
badminton. Many ladies learn tomount
and use the bicycle in the gymnasium as
they would not and could not elsewhere.
There are two swimming tanks. The
smaller one, with marble floor and walls
and ceiling Of white and blue tiles. is con-
stantly in use, while bowling forms an
amusing as well as beneficial exercise.
A padded running track encircles the
large gymnasium like gallery, eight
turns ON it equaling mile. When not
occupied by classes, this large room af-
fords space for tennis, and the small
gymnasium may be marked off for two
badminton courts.
Both the rooms are equipped with all
desirable apparatus and appliances for
gymnastics and calisthenics, manufac-
tured under the direction of DR.. D. \.
Sargent of the Hemenway gymnasium
at Harvard university. Sets Of light
chest weights, rowing weights. Indian
clubs, dumbbells and French barbells
are provided for class instruction \

School Directors In Kansas.

The following from the Lincoln Bea-
con answers the doubt as to women vot-
ing ct school elections:
In one district there was but one man
present. The director, man, forgot
the date. The other two members were
women, and beth were present. With
delicate gallantry the man was made
chairman, and the women proceeded to
do the business OF the meeting, not for
getting q single thing. They voted an
ample tax, and to repair the schoolhouse,
and unanimously for county uniformity
of textbooks, reelected the treasurer,
who is serving her fourth term, and the
clerk duly prepared and sent in her re-
turns. If the argument, Women don't
want the ballot, for they do not vote at
school elections" applies, what can be
said of the men, who rarely ever come out
in greater numbers than just enough to
transact the business?

THE QUEENS PEDIGREE.
The original right of Queen Liliuoka-
lana to the throne of Hawaii was by the
nomination of her brother Kslakaus.
The Hawaiian constitution provided for
this mode OF succession. When mon
arch failed to provide his successor, the
choice reverted to the upper house of the
ieg16iature, WD6u luudlliO uicu III
1873, after brief reign, he named no
successor. The house of mobiles
chose David Kalakaua. He had been
police court lawyer in Honolulu
and played the banjo at dances for q
consideration. His wife Kapiolani had
been the widow OF South Sea leland
missionary. At one time she helped
to support her husband by washing
clothes. Kalakaua's mother was OF the
blood of low chiefs, as was his reputed
father. 1t is notorious, how
ever, that Kalskaua's real father
was negro barber. Kala-
kaua and his full sister, Liliuokalani,
show wide divergence from the Ha-
waiian racial type. Their noses are fat
ter, their hair is kinky and their lips are
much thicker than the pure native type.
The late princess, like the mother OF
Princess Laiulani, half sister to Liliuo-
kalani, was pure native blood, and her
appearance was in marked contrast with
that OF her brother and sister.
