We wish to impress upon the minds
of our correspondents the importance
of writing proper names plainly and

words in the body of an item or ar

be taken TO make them plain for the

the initials should be plainly written.

No, the county does not pay it, bnt
the state does, and it is taken ont of

by taxation.
Clerk Brown claims to be issuing
these vouchers by authority ola re-
port by conference committee. No
body seems to know when this report
was made, as there was no reading of
the Journal in the Douglass house,
and as the journal was never approv-
ed by the house as a body this was left
to a committee. 1t is known that
POpuliSt members were recorded Just
opposite the way they voted. So it is
dh easy ulduOer TOT the Republicans
to prove anything they wish by the

for legislative purposes Late Satur-

Twenty Colleges Will Compete.

NEW YORK, May 27.-Perhaps
the magnitude of the great inter
collegiate track meetings known
as the Mott Haven games, which
take place this afternoon, will be
better appreciated when it is stated
that S06 entries have been received
for the fourteen events on the card,
from athletes representing 20 uni
versities and colleges. The meeting
will be held on Manhattan Field,
and the above number of entries
indicates that it will easily be the
most important gathering of ath-
leteS in the history of the lnterCOl-
legiate association of Amateur Ath-
letes of America. These meetings
are invariably spoken of as the
Mott Haven games, for in former
years they were always held
in that pretty rural suburb,
and the championship cup
would never be recognized We're it
to be referred to as other than
the Mott Haven cup. The fiercest
rivalry exists between the leading
college athletic teams in these
games, and the struggle for
supremacy is somewhat akin to
the mastery strife which marked
the competitions of the Greeks and
Thracians of the very musty long
ago.

What Our Women Need.

A good rule to live by in these
days, when there is such a mental
strain upon women, as well as
upon men, is to go out in the even
ing as often as you stay at home,
and stay at home as often as you
go out, writes Edward w. Box, in
"At Home With the Editor" in the
May Ladies' Home Journal. We
want to alternate things little in
this world. Variety is not only
the spice, but the medicine and
tonic of life. A change is good for
us all. Live in a rut and you
will think in rut. Going out even
ings does not necessarily imply an
expenditure of money if your
purse will not bear it. We need
not go to the theatre, to a concert,
to a lecture each time we venture
out. The best society in this world
is that OfN0 II friCndS-thOse whom
we know to be our friends, to be
sympathetic with our beliefs, to
be in touch with our surroundings.
An evening at the house of friends
or they t our house, is relaxation
and diversion from the days
thoughts. Unfortunately in our
larger cities we know so little
of this neighbOring feeling.
so little of that community
intercourse that makes life in
smaller places so much the better
worth the living. In the greater
cities it is the exception, rather
than the rule, that we know those
who live next door to us. The
people living in the same house
with us are often as far removed
from us as if they lived in HOnolu-
lu. But friends we all have, some
more, some less, and the very fact
of seeing other faces takes us out
of ourselves, lifts us into new
spheres of thought, gives us new
ideas, and takes us away from
what we have to face on the NOR
row.

Monsignor Satolli, the Papal dele

to attend the conservation of the
Church of the Immaculate Concep-

yet been cOnsecrated, owing to
the Indebtedness resting upon
them on account of frequent i'm
provements. The conservation
will, therefore, be the first in that
city, the church of the immaculate
Conception being the first to free
itself of all membranes. Mon
