womAN's WORLD IN PARAGRAPHS.
Seeking Admission 90 Jesuit College and
What Came Of IT.


the lectures On moral philosophy in St
Navier's Jesuit college New York city.
The lecturer is Father Halpin. pro-
found scholar and one Of the most noted
loSicians among tho Catholic professors
az America. Professor Halpin did not
know about il. He had no objection per
! sonally, but would have 10 consult high
e. authorities than his own. At last it
was agreed that Miss McCabe herself
should call On Archbishop Corrigan and
/ obtain his permission to listen to the
/ lectures She did this. Miss McCabe is
eloquent of tongue Is we'll rs Of pen. Il
required only little talk on her part
/ to convince the archbishop that she was
thoroughly in earnest, that her mind
was capable Of graSping the lectures ut
the college, and lastly thSt IL could do
no possible harm for her 70 20 70 the
I lecture room and sit quietly listening.
She would not DO woman then and
there, but q student. She followed the
| course that winter with the approval Of
the professor and with profit 70 herself.
Toward the end Of the college year more
ladies joined the class. If it was well
10 admit one woman, il would be better
70 admit still more, The permission ex-
tended was not withdrawn in the fall
Of 1898, and the ladies, young and old,
crowded 10 hear Father Halpin' power
full lectures on mental and moral sci
ence. At this time there are no less
than 500 women taking the full course.
They cannot have certificates or diplo-
mas, but they can get the instruction
Since then Father Doonan, professor Of
moral philosophy in the Jesuit college
Of Boston, has likewise opened his course
Of instruction 70 women Bishop Keane
Of the new Catholic university Of Wash
ington informed Miss McCabe in an in
tsryiew that he WIS in favor Of throw
ing open every door of learning in that
institution TO women on the same terms
rs 70 men. but finances would not per
NIT it at present. Just SO; Just so it al
ways was. Provide for men first and let
the women 90 without.
It Is not because women wish TO be
come ''mannish' that they are practic-
ing gymnaStic exercises and going in
for physical culture II Is wOmu's
duty as it is q mans 20 perfect herself
physically. There is nothing admirable
in weakness Of any kind The only thing
that Is admirable is strength-strength
Of mind and body.
\ recent private letter from Mrs. Lou
lie u. Gordon Of Atlanta says: I'VE are
so anxious 70 develop the talents Of our
southern girls and women, for they are
artistic, talented and practical, with all
their sentiment. We feel sure that our
exposition here will tempt them to do
their best. Our women are very timid
about going before the world, for men
have objected to it, but it is beginning
TO be different. Our men and women
begin 10 realize that God given talents
should be used TO win bread as well as
to bring delight Right you are, Mrs
Gordon Southern girls and women are
among the most gifted and successful
breadwinners in New York city.
Mrs. Louie u Gordon is a member
Of the mayors reception committee for
entertaining the International League
OF Press Clubs during its visit TO Atlanta.
More women voted than ever before
in the municipal elections in Kansas
this spring, and the vote OF the Colorado
women was heavier than had been er-
pected. This does not look as if women
did not want TO vote.
Mrs. Mary Il Eccles is druggist Of
Brooklyn who protested TO the excise
board against any more saloons being
established close 10 her store. One SYM
pathizes with Mrs. Eccles.
The more independent financially Of
men women become, the more they viii
love them for themselves alone.
The admirable wouan's department.
Of the admirable Rural New Yorker has !
a new editor, Miss Bertha Goss, a young
newspaper woman with promising ca
reer before her. / congratulate both The
Rural and Miss Goss
1t Is amusing to see what subterfuges
men arc reduced to in order to deprive !
women OF their rights as citizens Miss |
Mary E Farson, Chicago school prin-
cipal, presented her name for jury duty |
70 one Of the courts The judge, 4 Mr. |
Burke, excused her from serving
WHEN she did not ask to be excused |
Thus he sI1ufIed around the square up
and down issue Of whether a woman is a
citizen OF not L IS laid down as a pin
ciple BY some Of the best lawyers in
America that woman Is eligible for
any Office or appointment under the laws
Of the United States, although special
laws nay ba required 10 enable her 20
vote. This Principle has never been sue
ceszfCIlly T,fated It would be IN excel
lent thing If women did serve Is jury
men in cases where their own sex are
concerned and there Is nowhere 50 much
need Of 1t as IN cases involving the rela-
tons Of men and woIren- Men always
stand together and protect one another.
L Is time for women TO do the same
What shall an unframed girl DO to
earn her living: Get training Of some
kind as quickly IS possible
