NV DEAR FRIEND RAs BRAT:

l am sorry you feel "wuss."
am afraid you didn't follow my ad-
vice faithfully. You admit that
Nancy is studying these questions
Are you? Now. again, would ad-
wise you not to try to quote scrip
ture to any woman-it isn't safe,
for you know the Sunday schools
and churches are principally made
up of women, and the average wo-
man knows more of the Bible in a
minute than the average man ever
knew.
No one ever heard of Christ con-
demning a woman. He was always
woman's best friend, and it was a
woman He ordained to preach a
risen Lord"
Now, while Nancy is staying at
home, making her husband and chill
dren happy, just across the street,
perhaps, lives woman who has no
husband and children. You see,
you forget that Nancy isn't the only
woman in the world and, while
Nancy has your strong arm to lean
upon, and your well-stored mind
from which to get chunks of wis
dom, she doesn't forget her lessfor-
tunate sisters, who Ell her have no
husbands, or have husbands with no
education to speak of. Now, Nancy
being Methodist by birth and edu-
cation, and the Methodists having
decided that woman couldn't "set
onto the conference" to use Saman-
tina Aliens expression), perhaps had
something to do with her refusal to
shuck corn, as of yore. Maybe she
. has decided that if one is "wearin' "
the other is, too. You see, women

see by the Chicago Record that
girls are being advertised for to fill
various positions Oh the worlds fair
grounds during the fair. One girl
gives her experience, and they are
all the same. She says she was re-
quired to bring references, and then
deposit $40 as guaranty, and sign
a contract. She must be there from
May LIST to November LIST, seven
days in the week. She was told
where she could get lodgings con-
venient to the grounds at only So. SO
per week, and board at $500 per
week. She must wear navy-blue
dress, with white apron and deep
white collar, and she was to GET
$l.OO per day-$7.OO per week.
Board and lodging, 81 so per week.
Now, this is about the opportunity
offered girls to-day. Instead Of
building houses for FALLEN women"
why not pay women and girls wages
that will at least enable them to
feed and clOthe themselves ? Then
there will no need for so many
"homes."

Girls, Take Notice.

Champion of Progress, Sioux city, Iowa.
A friend in Chicago writes the
following:
In every possible way, see that
the girls are warned against coming
into the city to woik during the
worlds fair, unless they know just
where they are going and are sure
the place is genuine and all right.
We know positively that there is an
organized gang with paid agents on
the watch to waylay girls and in
duce them, by fair promises, to go
with them but the destination is
one of the many brothels that have
been built near the tair grounds.
We are trying to arrange to head
this of, in a measure, but ] think
the girls should be on their guard.

Men sometimes present the specious
plea of degrading women. This is
one of the most absurd conclusions
ever reached by sensible men. If
any one of our councilmen desires to
say by his vote that his wife and
sister are not his equals, why, let
him vote against the measure, but
in the name of common sense and
fair play, don't set up the childish,
preposterous plea of degrading
women" The world moves, and
mans ideas of free government and
republican institutions keep pace
with the onward march of events.
Wyoming, in it's territorial life, en-
franchiscd women. and when the
men of that territory applied for
statehood, and formed state con-
stitution, they guaranteed in that
constitution the right of women to
vote for all time. We like the broad
gagged, manly man that is not
ashamed to go on record as saying
that he is not the embodiment of all
wisdom; that there others that can
properly share a portion of his
knowledge, and that this other party
might be a woman. We sometimes
hear a lady scout the idea Of
woman's right to vote, but those
ladies who entertain such opinions,
while they are entitled to them,
have never given the subject proper
consideration. A lady need not
vote if enfrauchised if she doesn't
wish to, but do not in your selfish
desire disbar some other intelligent
lady from exercising right that be-
longs to..her.
Young man, make your record.
Just so sure as slavery was abolish
ed and freedom made part Of the
of this republic, just 80
sure will that same grand constitu-
tion he amended so that the women
of this country can vote. 1t may

curing this rightful booD.-Arizona

THE BALLARD SEWER.

To THE EDITOR: The report about the
last council meeting at Ballard, as pub
lshed yesterday in your paper, contains
an item which the undersigned feels called
upon TO correct.
1t is not true, as the report says, that
there is controversy between Mr..
Wegener, of Seattle. and the Ballard city
engineer, Mr.. Smith. The matter in
which Mr.. Wegener was called in by me
has been settled by the committee on
sewers two weeks ago in my favor.
The present so-called controversy is
based upon an article published by me
over my full names signature in the Bal
lard Enterprise. in which article | criticise
the location of and other matters con-
nected with the Second street sewer, now
in course of construction. Mr.. Smith
made no reply TO this criticism. but got Mr..
Thomson, of SEATTLE, to write letter in
his favor to the committee on sewers Of
Ballard. This letter was presented and
read before the council. and then, without
being received. returned to the committee.
That is all there is about the controversy,
into which the reporter had no reason to
drag Mr.. Wegener's name. as he knows
very we'll that it is my fight and that l am
responsible for what publish.
As 70 Mr.. Thomson's views on my
criticisms and his so-called authorities,
they all come to naught before the facts
as they are to be seen every day. Twice
in every twenty-four hours, when the tide
runs into the sewer as now laid. II fills ,t
with sand and tenacious mud from six to
ten inches high, which must be shoyeled
out 10 keep il from filling the sewer. This
Is fact which no engineering authorities
nor Mr.. Thomson's white-gashing letter
can wash away.
But there Is no use 70 waste any more
printers ink on the subject. When the
sewer has been finished, which Will be in
short time. and the lower end OF il is
constantly oiled up with sand and makes
sinkhole out of the sewer, the people of
Ballard sill see from the plain facts be-
fore them that practical experience and
common sense go further than the vague
notions of inexperienced sO-caiIed engi-
neers. RoBKRr kATH.

CURIOUS ORDERS FOR GOODS.
Tombstone for Living Indian-Ouar
of Oysters for n millionaire.

A Tombstone for Living Indian-Ouart
of Oysters for n Millionaire.
Some of the orders for goods received by
the merchants of this city are extremely
laughable and cause no end of amusement
to the employees who have the fun or the
work of supplying whimsical customers
with what they want.
One Of the jobbing houses recently re-
ceived a letter from Alaska from one of
their regular customers. who had Just re-
turned from visit here, ordering a tomb
stone for living Indian. The letter said /:
"Before l left home an Indian wanted
me to get him tombstone four feet high
with the figure of the moon on top. He
brought me piece of cardboard cut thus.
Tan oblong surmounted by circlel so
would be sure and get it Just right. Be-
low the round part, or moon. he wishes a
pair of hands clasped. Well, I did not
think of the stone while at Seattle. Can
you get the stone and send it with our
goods2 A face is 10 be cut on the moon to
resemble the man in the moon, also the
name 'Kohlkeat' to be cut on it. As the
man is still living and / do not know
when he will die or when he was born.
think We will put no dates on the stone. y
Ii the Indian should refuse to accent the
stone 1t will be an easy matter to name
some other Indian, as the stone lie iettered
and save the tombstone for him. But
there is no danger that an Indian will ever
allow anything TO escape him if it can be
used TO ornament his grave
Another order recently received here
and curious for other reasons than the
above. was from Thomas Kruse, the mil.
ionaire miner and banker, of Helena.
Mont Mr.. kruse evidently likes the oys.
ters of the Sound and desires them fresh
daily. for he placed an order with a local
firm TO have quart of Olympia oysters
shipped to him by express every day. If
anyone supposes that a millionaire can
eat any more oysters than a pennilesx
tramp it is probably a mistake, for one can
buy all he can eat and the other can eat all
he can get.

UNDER THE WHEELS.
4 Child Has a Wonderful Es-
cape From Death.
RUN OVER BY A HEAVY TRUCK.


Elgie Myers, little bit of a fellow with
long brown hair. was run over by the
Northwestern Cracker Company's truck at
the corner OF Front and Madison streets
yesterday morning. That he escaped in
slant death was the wonder of those who
witnessed the accident.
The little one lives in the Epler block
with his mother. who is q picture can
vasser. and during her absence yesterday
morning went down to Front street to
play with two other boys. They amused
themselves by jumping on and off the
cracker company's truck, notwithstanding
the admonitions OF Driver c. =. Farnham.
Finally Elgie tried to get of the side be-
tween the wheels. and as he told it him
self: THE wheel knocked me down
and went right over my stomach. +"
When the accident happened some
one on the sidewalk yelled to the
driver, and he pulled up so quickly that
the wheel rested for a moment on the
boys body. but a bystander lifted it of
with his shoulder and pulled him out.
The little chap was limp as rag when
he was taken to police headquarters, but
City Physician Palmer could not find indi-
cations OF external injuries of importance.
There was reason, however, to believe he
was hurt internally, as he complained of
pains across his body in the region of the
abdomen. After being taken 70 Provi-
dence hospital he improved perceptibly
and was able to talk. The exact nature of
his injuries has not been determined, but
judging from the improvement in his con-
dition, the boy had wonderful escape.
Col ]. w. Clark, the lawyer and mining
man, had narrow escape from being killed
by an electric car on Second street about
$50 O'Clock yesterday morning. As car No.

was coming south from Lake Union to-
wards Seneca street, McGili saw Clark
about to cross the street and sounded the
gong. But Clark, instead of going straight
across, started diagonally across and thus
had his back to the car. Seeing that Clark
did not hear the bell, McGili shouted to
him and, this having no effect, reversed
the motors and set the brakes. The car
was running very slowly when it struck
Clark, and McGili reached over the DASH
board. caught him under the arms and
pushed him off the track. HIS foot was
caught by the brake-hanger and he was
dragged about four feet, but was only
slightly injured.
Col. Clark was taken to Providence hospi-
tai. where it was found that the ligamenss of
his right leg were strained and the right
side of his head was bruised.
