Mr. T. \. " o0dWtTt WAS last week
elected president OF the West Superior
Chamber OF Commerce. About the
first thing lie had to offer WAS tie Sug-
gestion tiat the Superior ana y est
Superior chambers consolidate; ana
the next WAS that the City hire Some
man at salary Of %7.6"j 81 &G,ai}j Il
wear who sloull act as city statistIcian
and also as secretary Of the Consol!-
dated chamber.
Now, we are great adm;rer OF Nj.
Woodward. lie was Il good soldier,
he is a good business man, an ! GoGd
citizen, pleasant and genial to meet,
and will make live president for the
West Superior Chamber Of Commerce
But we cannot agree with him III his
idea of consolidation.
One reason is that we would never
consent to taxing the people OF the
city =, 900 a years to fee som" man to
act as secretary of the chamber Of
commerce, and tie common council
and the people at large have already
decided that 81 $50 a year was too
much and that 5000 a year was enough
for them to pay for q statistician.
Then again. ii would not be, under
the present existing state Of things,
consolidation Of interests, but purely
case of absorption OF the super
ior Chamber hy the West Superior
Chamber, and we are not yet ready TO
be thus swallowed without 50 much as
nickIc's worth of grease from the
$1,000 or 2G,9G9 purse.
The suggestions are worthy of Gen.
Woodward's shreWdness and military
training, but not 50 weighty that they
cannot be easily seen through. Gen.
Woodward WAS not here when the
West Superior Chamber of Commerce
was organized. At that time the Su-
perior Chamber urged the Importance
of one chamber; we urged that it was
not wisdom to divide our interests;
urged that for two bodies in the same
city to 90 before congress or other
legislative bodies asking tor appropri-
ations or other assistance fer appar-
emily conflicting interests would have
a bad effect on all concerned. They
knew their business. They boosted
that they would cut central canal
and 50 close our natural entry and
that in five years they would Use the
townsite Of tire only and original Su-
perior as a pasture for their COWS.
Then they proceeded to organize their
chamber of commerce. They have il
yet. Let them keep it.
Well, you have not cut the central
canal, you have not closed our natural
entry, YOU have not found the terri
tory convenient for cow pasture,
and what is more, you have become
convinced that none Of these things
ever will come to9ass, at least through
open warfare.
Open hostility having prov2n fail

now change their tactics, and they

HELPLESS WOMEN.
They Still Exist In Their Picturesque In
capabilities.

They Still Exist In Their Picturesque In
capabilities.
When the extreme Of the tailor made
fashion was replaced by the present soft
frills and furbelows. universal CRY of
jubilation arose from the newspapers
announcing that now women would be-
come once moro as sweetly feminine and
helpless az in the Miss Burney DAYS.
when they swooned mt the slightest prov
ocation, from which we may infer that
woman's character is as protean as her
garments.
However, if the newspapers had
stopped i'll their headlong Joy to reason
upon the subject, perhaps tho prospect
OF revival of the Evelina type would
not have seemed such matter for gratu-
lation. If woman once begins to be
helpless, there is no telling where she
will stop. 1t is very nice indeed to have
II pretty woman unable to cross fallen
log in tho woods without mans assist
ance. But if she faints dead away in
the middle of five aero field when
bull is beginning to lower his head and
raise his tail her dependent condition is
not quite so pleasant. Then the ability
to kilt her petticoaties and run is quail
ity more likely to be appreciated by her
escort.
The public need never have feared that
helPlessness was a lost art, for the in
capable type has not become extinct by
any means. 1t was flourisling like the
green bay tree in retired hooks and cor
ners during the very height of tailor
reign and athletics. There now exists
woman who, prevented by her mother
from marrying her lover in their youth,
was welded to him when about 90 years
old. She still wore the banded hair and
dove colored, full skirted dresses that
had gone out of date years ago, and she
was, oh, SO delightfully."- helpless and de-
pendent Her husband came home ono
winter day and found her half frozen
and crying, without spark of fire in
the house. The servant had left in the
morning, and the fire had gone out, and
although there was abundant fuel the
mistress did not know how to build a
fire, and so was compelled to sit in the
cold until her husband returned and
brought his vigorous mind to bear on
the case.
If picturesque incapability should
really prevail again i'll all its mighty in
crtia-of which there is no probability
certain serious disadvantages may APP
pear that are now hidden under the ruff
flies and rosebuds, and the present time
may be regretted, when IA woman winds
her watch, keeps her appointments, an
swers business letters and appreciates
her husband instead of merely adoring

q KINDERGARTEN PIONEER.
Career OF Woman OF Pluck, Talent and
Great Usefulness.

Career OF a Woman OF Pluck, Talent and
Great Usefulness.
The kindergarten system of the Con.
necticut valley and large contiguous
region in western Massachusetts, and
Rhode Island owes much of it's useful
ness to Mrs. Elizabeth r. Abbott, who
has been an active educator for the past
10 years. She was o pioneer in kinder
garten work in Connecticut. Mrs. Alb
bott was born in Lowell, Mass, in 1859.
In girlhood she became disciple of
Elizabeth Peabody and intended to de-
vote her energies to the kindergarten
method of teaching. Her father, w. S.
Robinson of Lowell, died, leaving her
without resources before she had fitted
herself for self support, and she engaged
euccessively in various callings until she
drifted into Mrs. Shaw's charity kinder
garten and nursery in Boston. Mean
while she had taught country school
aud boarded round" in Maine, had kept
private school, tried bookkeeping and
learned to set type.
Her position in Mrs. Shaw's institu-
ton was nominally that of .'second as
sistant," bat the duties proved to be
those of kitchen maid or cook, yet it

was preferable to shop work and other
employments usually chosen before
homework by ambitious girls. Mrs.
Shaw's manager became interested in
the "second assistant" and helped her to
means and leisure for study, even sup
plying money for her tuition and excus-
ing her certain hours day from house
hold labor.
Miss Robinson entered kindergarten
college and graduated in 1888. She has
studied and waited seven years for the
fultillment of her hopes and was enabled
to put her hard earned experience to i'm
mediate use. She had taught some in
the charity schools of Boston and was
engaged to introduce the kindergarten
system into the Hillside Avenue school
at Waterbury, Conn. She was married
i'll 1885 to George S. Abbott of Water
bury, but continued to teach her classes
until the little ones originally placed in
her care had graduated for the primary
departments of the public schools.
Since resigning from official connec-
ton with school work Mrs. Abbott has
kept up her interest in kindergarten
teaching and encouraged and helped
others to extend and maintain the system.
She has been prominent in the Connecti-
cut Valley kindergarten association. and
also in founding and strengthening as
sociatiops for the advancement of women,
among them the Old and New club of
Boston, the Woman's club of Maiden,
Mass, and the Woman's club of Water
bury. EDINE HowARD.

POLAND, Sept. 27.-From the best
information obtainable by leading ship
pers in this city it appears that the sur
plus of wheat for shipment from the
northN est will be about the same as
last year-12,OOO,0OO. A large amount
of Willamette valley wheat will be mil
led. Shipments from Portland will be
100000 and from the sound 100000,
q large part OF which will probably go
to San Francisco as there Is only $1,000
tonnage listed for the sound against
10000 for Portland. The wheat market
is moderately active here, farmers are
offering freely and quite a number of
ships are to be loaded.

Experiments With Projectiles.

WASHINGTON, Sept 26, "A solid pro
jectile fired through II inches of steel
armor plate at the government proving
station at Indian Head yesterday came
officials of the navy ordInce bureau the
most satisfactory test yet made. The
projectlle, impelled with a velocity of
1900 feet, with a striking energy OF over
10000 tons, not only passing through
the heavy steel plate but two inches OF
wrought.iron backing. The different
shells and projectiles tested were for six,
eight and twelve inch rifles. The shells
made of the Mother and Carpenter type
being very expensive, the department
determined to secure, il possible, cast
steel shot, instead of the forged-steel
projectile now made, A year ago a con-
tract was made with New York firm
for 400 l0-inch and 100 l2-inch cast
steel shot, and the Acceptance test of
some of them proves the navy has found
a cheap, as well as effective, projectile.
NEW VESSELS EoR THE PACIFIC,
In few months all the old wooden
ships which have represented the Asiatic
station will be displaced by new vessels,
with the finest of the new cruisers as
flagship, The station has always been
recognized by the COVE nment as next
in importance to the home station, and
the policy has always been to keep a
large number o. vessels on it, The dis
appearance of the old vessels has dimin-
ished the number on the station to far
the arrival of the Alert yesterday at San
Francisco, with the absence of the Petrol
in Behring sea, reduces the number to
two cruising ships, An order has been
issued by the department for the return
of the Marion. She will sail in a
month for San Francisco. Her depart
ure will leave the Lancaster, Admiral
Twins flagship, the only vessel that
can go from one port to another. The
old Monocacy cannot go beyond sight
o. land, and is useless, except as river
boat. The new cruiser Concord is now
en- route 10 the station, and will reach
Yokohama early in October. The flag
ship Baltimore is also on the way to re-
lieve the Lancaster, which will also re-
turn home. The Petrol will be ordered
to return to the station after the sealing
season in Behring sea, which will give
three new ships to the feet, and make
the strongest showing we have had
there for years. With the completion
of the new ships others will be ordered
to China, and by the close of the year
the squadron will be composed OF all
new vessels. The Marion will be con-
DENIED and sold on her arrival.

Olson, at Palouse City, Wash, in the
season of 1892, Russell six-horse por-
table engine and 27x40 "Cyclone" sep
arator, said machine gave us entire sat
isfaction and also gave perfect sstisfac-
ton to every farmer that We threshed
for. In single hour we put through
208 bushels of wheat; in a single day
we threshed $50 bushels of wheat and
1910 bushels of oats and moved and set
our separator and engine three times
and our derrick table four times. Dur
ing entire seasons run OF 429 days we
made an average of 1892 bushels per
day of oats, wheat and barley, fully
three-fourths of this being wheat, The
full seasons run making 54,910 bushels.
We had no trouble to satisfy our Gus
toners, and believe this to be the best
threshing outfit now on the market.
