AN INTEn ESIlNG QUESTION,

AN INTER- kSllNG @ ESTION.
 Some girls and women work for "pin money" when they are not really obliged to work. In 20 doing they raise very interesting and important question. This question is, should girls and women who arc not really obliged to work compete with those whose necessities are such that they must work to live and cannot even pretend to be working for pin money 2 This question has just been thoroughly discussed by an organization of working girls in New York. They were quite unsn- imous in the opinion that young women who have homes of their own and live com fortably ought not to do work for pin money which brings them into competi- tion with girls whose whole support is de- rived from the very class of work which they do for this purpose. The tendency of this practice they find to be to distress the less fortunate girls, because the work is done at price much too low to give any dependent working girl a good sup port. This usurpatlon of labor by girls not obliged to work for sslf-suppors, but only for self-indulgencs, not only reduces wages but crowds the homeless girls to the wall.
 There is no doubt that there is ground for this complaint. But who can tell how much justice there is in iti Thoee who can afford to bs idle can forcibly say that they don't want to be, and thaethey have right to exercise their strength and ability in honest work. And if they do have some money and comfor, they want more, and they do moi feel called upon to stay idle in order to benefit others whom they do not know, and whom they are not cer. tain that they would help by being idle. And they can also argue that 1t is bette, for their health and morals. and SO better for the world, that they should be indus. trious. It is not probable that girls and women who work only for pin money will in our day reach such height of sltruisn that they will refrain from go working in crder that other girls and women may gel more work and better pay. And who car tell what their real duty in the matter isi

WEST vlhGINlA's COAL FIELDS.
 Probably most people in this country who think at all about the coal supply think that Pennsylvania contains the larg- est amount of coal of any State in the Union. They can learn something from member of the British embassy at Wash. ington, who has been making a study of the coal fields of this country for the pur, pose of telling his government about them. He finds that the greatest quantity of available coal Is not in Pennsylvania, but in West Virginia. Sixteen thousand square miles of fields ready for mining are given as the area of the West Virginia coal region. Pennsylvania has only 12.000 square miles. But these coal fields are not only larger in area than any others known in the country, but also supply the best kind of coal suitable for lorg carriage and ranking also as high grade product. The comparatively simple process required to send such coal down the Ohio river to the Gulf makes the business of mining 1t moro profitable than of working any other fields. The Kanawha river, recently improved by the government, provides this outlet. On the other side is the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad, ready to carry the yield to the At lsntic coast as chesply as Pennsylvania coal reaches there. Two other railroads, the Baltimore and Ohio and the Norfolk and Western, are also competing to open and develop the coal lands, and will soon be carrying thousands of tons of Ksnawhs to Baltimore and Newport News, thence shipping 1t to all the American markets now supplied by Pennsylvania coal, and offering it to English consumers when it becomes profitable for them to buy.

Tricks of Insertion.

The sun is shining for manufacturers of insertions, and If they aren't making their everlasting fortunes 1t must be their own fault, for 1t is hard to see how they'll ever get better chance. Many of Its uses are very pretty and some odd. Of the latter, one Is a sleeve suited to the slimmest arm, and almost as dressy for evening use a no sleeve. It Is of semi-trsnsparent null in gigot shspe, full at the top and narrowing to fit closely just below the elbow. Inser
 ton is set in the sleeves in a spiral from the top of the shoulder to the wrist. The apparent plumpness of the arm Is added to by this spiral line, and the flesh show ing through insertion and null has almost

 Some of the young gentlemen of New Haven, both in and out of the University, who assisted in the prize fight that took place in the Insurance building last Feb ruary are both surprised and pained that any notice should be taken of the little affair by those whose duty 1t Is to enforce the law against such per formances. They do not like the mention of their names in connection with the State prison, or even in connection with e fine and costs. No wonder they don't. But 1t really Is hardly the thing for 6 band of educated or uneducated young gentlemen to get together in one of New Haven's most central buildings, opposite the old Green with its churches, and in full view of the University buildings, and there aid and abet prize fighting. It is going little too far for e city which has 6 Chamber of Commerce aged one hundred years, and which has several kinds of preaching every Sunday. The young gen. tlemen failed to discriminate. Athletics must be encouraged, and Thanksgiving football games are both legal and moral, but there is law against prize-fghting and also little public sentiment against 1t.

Straps of insertion are set in about the lower edge of the collar, the other end of the strips fastening in the edge of the decollette. A little ingenuity will coax the insertion over the bony places, the usliness of the collar bones can be quite hidden and the unfriendly hollovs about the shoulders can be spsnned by the delicately tinted lace, the effect from . little distance being all any one could wish.
 There is at the lower edge of the decol- letage of the pictured dress . wide band of handsome insertion, and the gowns other mstsrials are very pale lavender silk figured with yellow dots encircled by vio- let wings, reeeds green cyepe de chine and gold passementerie.

The Nutritive Element in Ale
 and Beer.
 There is. a nutritious element in ale and beer, but 1t is small-there is the intoxicating effect, too. That is a strong objection. Yet ale and beer are used, and benefit health at times. There is another liquid, the active principle of malt, JOHANN HoFF's MALT EXTRACT. One dozen bottles of it has the same nutritious and tonic effect as a large cask of ale or beer. That's an advantage. Another-it has not the intoxicat- ing effect of either. Ithelps digest and assimilate food, creates appe- tite, makes the weak strong and healthy.
 Be sure to obtain the genuine. See that signature "JoHANN HoFF" is on neck label of every bottle. None other is " as good"

BAGGAGE Cheers.

An amusing illustration of how some
people understand the passenger rate
situation is told by one OF the st. Paul
city agents. A lady telephoned him
yesterday morning for the passenger
rate to San Francisco. saying that she
understood one could go there now for

the average passenger man case of
paresis.

CHEAP CALIFORNIA BATE
kROUSES A GREAT DEMAND FOR VEST
w ARD TICKETS.
w. p. a. CHICAGO MEETING.

1t Will Probably Be Decided
There to Add the Local Rate
to Sioux City to the Atchison
Rate From Missouri to Cal
fornia - From st. Paul, One
Way. $27.90.
People are alive to the fact that cheap
rates to California ale OH the tapiS.
From the city ticket offices of the var-
Gus Cnicago-St. Paul lines yesterday it
was learned that there had been vast
amount Of inquiry for cheap tickets.
The action of the Western Passenger
association at its meeting today will be
ALI important one. as it will probably
define the rates to be made by aSSocia-
ton lines. Then the various ticket
agents here will be notified, aud can
give the inquiring traveller the desired
information. This new rate, as one pas
senger man intlmated yesterday, will
probably be made by adding the
local rate to Sioux City to that
made by the Atchison road west
of the Missouri river. This would make
through rate from ST. Paul one way
$3.50, and round trip $50. The local
rates to Sioux City are respectively
$40, single trip, and SIS round trip,
which, added to the AtchiSon's one-way
rate of $50 and round-trip rate of S35,
would make the through rates noted.
II assume" said the GLOBES inform
ant, that the Sioux City locals will be
applied, as upon them are now based all
business to points along the Missouri on
California traffic"
Promptly have the Missouri river
roads acted in the premises. Already
have their agents been instructed not to
sell either single OF rOund-trip tickets to
points via BarStOw and Los Angeles
north of MOjave. Also has the ukase
gone forth forbidding the sale of
either class of tickets by way
of Los Angeles aud the Southern
Pacific to San Diego. Thus the inter-
ested lines are wisely preserving a
strict neutrality, biding the outcome
and waiting for the war clouds to break.
Should either the Atcnison or Southern
Pacific declare temporary truce. the
other lines may at once shift their posi-
ton in the matter to suit the changed
conditions, or possibly hold out little
longer and "wait till the clouds roll
BY" Local passenger men consider
that the st. Paul roads will manage to
keep themselves out of the vortex, and
will stand by the locals that may be
decided upon. Although no official an
nouncement has been made of the fact,
it is believed that the Union Pacific will
adopt the $50 rate west from Omaha.
1t is matter of interest to learn that
the Atchison, not content with lashing
the sea of passenger rates into a tenn
pest, has brewed storm of demoraliza-
ton in freight rates as we'll. Just what
this is has not been definitely learned,
but it will ali come out in a day or two,
probably.
