Scotch Lassies Win Degrees.

For the first time in the history of Scottish universities two young women have received the degree of bachelor of medicine and master i'll surgery. The young women who have had the honor of leading the way in this direction are Miss Marion Gilchrist of Bothwell and Miss Alice Lillian Louisa Cumming of Glasgow. The University of Glasgow granted their degrees at the graduation ceremony held on July 26.
 Both of these young women have studied in Queen Margaret college, now the womans department of the Uni versity of Glasgow. Three years were spent in the arts and four years ill med icine, their clinical work having been taken ill the Royal inirmary and Sick Children's hospital. As the university degree in arts. was not open at that time

to women, MISS s7llehrlst took in arts the general certificate of Queen Marga- ret college. She now appears on the university graduation lists as the third in rank of the six candidates who took the degree of M. B. c. NJ, with high commendation. There were G1 grad uates, of whom five took honors, six high eommendation, eight commenda- tion and 42 passes.
 Queen Margaret college was founded in 1883 by the Glasgow Association For the Higher Education of Women In 1890 this college added to its faculty of arts a school of medicine for wom- en, organized on university lines and with the view of preparing for univer- sity degrees. The first two young women to receive this degree were heartily COIL graduated by large assembly. View York Sun.

Tie Petticoat Is Doomed.

M Is no longer correct to talk of pet ticoat government. The rule of woman wavereth not. but the petticoat is doom- ed, is dying, is almost gone. Perhaps we shall say combination govern ment, or equestrian tights govern ment, or, more plain spoken, talk of brooches" government, meaning, of course, the tyranny of the ladies who wear them. Saratoga's daring horse woman, energetic pedestrian and plucky hill climbers dress for hot weather, hard work, safety, lightness, oonven- fence. Not one of these, nor beauty, which transeends them all, nor modes ty, which is a thing of custom largely, is to be found in dust trailing, mud draggled ski<ts
 Beneath her ample dress skirt the fair Saratogan wears almost always the baggy Turkish trousers of silk, or if an equestrian the wide hipped, narrow kneed brooches of the gentleman jockey. And here. as elsewhere ill this year of miracles, is seen the occasional bicyclist i'll knickers and red cheeks.
 "But men will stare" we said in 1892.
 But men don't stare, Y" we say in 1894, lat least not more than they would anyhow and always did. Besides we like them to look interested. "
 What will 1896 say? Perhaps it will be reactionary. Whether it is or not, I look to see more and more women clad in bifurcated garments We shall have knickerbocker bicycle suits, bathing suits, gymnasium suits, bowling suits, perhaps even business suits. It's the modern idea that each woman may wear what she wishes that will let them in. Chicago Record.

 4 Radical Step Forward.

Reformers usually greatly overesti- mate the direct importance of the work in which they are engaged There are today half dozen different movements, says a writer in Womankind, each of which, we are confidently assured by their respective promoters, is destined to usher ill the millennium or something very like it. Somehow or other the most of us feel that none of the move ments will revolutionize the world at once, and yot every effort ill improve ment, though it fails in it's direct aim, accomplishes much-often more than the reformers themselves dream of. The ballot per SC will not do great deal for women, and women will probably do little for politics, but for all that suffrage for woman means a great deal, It is radical step forward.

ALLOWANCE CUT OFF.
A Decision Which Does Not Please
King Philip Mill Strikers.
Arbitrators at New Bedford Listen e
Both Sides OF the Question:.

nv INC A&octdted iJc8.
NEW BEDFORD, Mass. Aug. aS-The
state board Of arbitration held a three
hours session here last night. Representa-
tives OF all tho labor unions were present.
William w. Crapo, one Of the city's lead
ing manufacturers and president OF the
Wamsutta corporation, was present,
armed with statistics
| Hc said no did not come to represent
manufacturers, but as a private citizen.
He contested the arguments of labor men
hotly, ON the ground that the situation
was entirely due TO the condition of the
cloth market, and on the same basis en-
deavored to prove that the wage reduction
was justified. Several hot exchanges took
place between him and Secretary Ross.
Mr.. Ross said IL was matter of expert
ence that one reduction I'm wages is usually
followed by another. In 1854 they were
reduced l31 per cent, I'm 'S5 10 per cent
more, or at least a reduction of 23& per
cent In two years. Between these years
he said reduction in the spinning of fine
numbers was made amounting 20 80 per
cent. sOut OF all these reductions only 12I
per cent has been restored.
"The condition OF the markets. since
then" said Mr.. Ross, "have warranted
further increases, and when the spinners
asked for a 10 per cent advance they re-
ceived z. Under this condition of affairs
things went along till last year, when
another reduction of 10 per cent was en-
forced. The spinners asked for confer
ence, and t was granted The outcome
was that the reduction was accepted In
all that time manufacturers have never
voluntarily increased wages, no matter
how high prices were.
although trade has been bad for some
time, still many corporations have been
making money. We were not told the
amount of this last reduction, and spin
ners will never go back To work till they
know what prices are TO be. We want the
best feeling TO exist between spinners and
manufacturers. Other labor men spoke
In the same vein.
In reply, Mr.. Grape said he considered
the labor men had testified with great
moderation, but considered them in the
wrong. Mill men would all like TO pay
high wages. Manufacturers have resorted
to every fair means before reducing
wages, and some corporations have been
paying dividends out Of money laid away
for other purposes After this wages were
reduced. Manufacturers did everything
to make both ends meet before reduction
was enforced. There are 1900 stockholders
in the Wamsutta corporation, and most Of
them are poor women.
Mr.. Crapo was then asked IL he was
willing to submit the matter to arbtra-
ton. He replied that he was not willing
to take the responsibility ON his shoulders.
but that he would not be an objector 10
such a course. The public are anxiously
watching the outcome Of the conference.

QUIET AT FALL RIVER.
Bv Tne Associated pre..


FALL RIVER, Aug. 24.-Everything is
quiet here today and q stranger in town
would hardly know that over 25 900 resi-
dents OF the city are idle because OF
the strike. The operatives in gem
eral are taking advantage of the
weather and thousands of the of them
are at the beaches or on picnics. A large
number have left the city until vacation
expires and have gone to visit relatives
and friends in other sections of the coun-
try.
In the mill district, the Seaconnet,
Fall River Iron Works, Conanicut, Ker's
Thread Mills and the Barnaby Mills are
running with 3274 operatives. The Dur
fee Mill No. 2 started up this morning
with $40 looms out of 1929 on the running
list. Two mills of this corporation shut
down on June 16 and will not
be opened again until late i'm the
season. The Sycamore Mil is not
included in the manufacturers agree
ment, and would like to resume bus siness,
but is prevented by the refusal OF the
weavers TO retu-p to work until ordered
to do so by their organization. 1t is con-
fidently expected that by Monday next
the Durfee mill will be running with its
full complement OF operatives.

THE END OF THE BRIDE.
She Was Deoked In Her Bridal Gown and
Flowers, but Was Free.

A little girl in India went TO the mis-
sionary school. She was a pretty, clever
littlo thing, and SO attracted tho teacher
that she vonturcd to visit her in her home.
She found the child oycrshadowed by tho
horror of her approaching marriage. AS
a baby, she had been betrothed; but, ac-
cording to custom, she lived on In her ia
ther's house till she was IL. Then she was
~ be taken from her own people and given
over to her husband, IA hideous little man,
deformed, his face SCARED with disease, of
bad character and VIGOROUSLY given to
drink.
The child was terrified OF him, and he
derived ghoullike pleasure from her ter
ror, used To jump at her in the dark,
make faces at her, and told her that once
really married To him and in his home
he and his old mother would make short
work of her beauty with redhot fork, SO
that 1t would soon be difficult TO choose
between their two faces.
AT last the fatal day arrived. The mis-
sionary's heart ached for the little friend
she was unable to help. and as she went
about her work she prayed that God might
save his hapless creature.
At noon the child's mother burst into
the house. 'Nahomi is dead" she cried,
and the two women hurried TO her home.
There was Nahomi, lying stiff and cold on
the floor, looking very slim and childish
In her bridal dress and smooth, flower
crowned head.
It appeared she had spent the morning
In restless agony of anticipation, that, TO
quiet her, her miserable mother had beaten
her, and that afterward she had fallen into
an apathy of despair.
She had washed her little person and
her hair, had braided it neatly, had put
on her bridal gown, had decorated herself
with flowers and jewelry, and then had
gone quietly into the yard behind the
house, where datura tree hung its great
white trumpets against the blue SKY, dug
up and ate q little OF its poisonous root,
and then crept back into her home, where
she now lay, cold, stark-free.-

choice lot Of cows, and neighbor, seeing
the herd IN the pasture, asked for how
much he could have his pick of one
twenty-five dollars,r said the owner
"All right. I'll be around tomorrow and
select one" Tho next day the owner Of
the cows told his hired man to drive the
only poor COW In tho lot to the barn Soon
the buyer put I'm All appearance to buy n
COW. He missed one, however, and was
suspicious. How Is this' You said I
could have my pick of the lot Where Ia
that other cow" "Oh, that cow you don't
want" said the owner 'She Is old and
no good, so placed her in the barn. You
don't want her," But the buyer insisted
on having that COW. He suspected she was
the best one Of the lot. "All right, then,
said the seller. Drive that COW out,
John" The cow was driven out, and the
buyer would not look at the rest, hut pur.
chased her nj once and drove her home
A day or two aftorward he came back and
accused the seller Of cheating him and
wanted him 10 take the cow back. But
the old fellow refused, saying that the
buyer had had his pick. Lewiston Jour.
