The Empress Eugenie recently took
Prince Napoleon with her to Windsor
to present him to the queen as her heir
An impressive fact when the ex-mis-
tra,s of the Tuileries' fortune is consid-
ereo. Most of her wealth is in good
English stocks too. 1t is being told of
Eugene that, on a late visit to Paris,
she went ''incog." to a fashionable
palmist to have her fortune read. AS
part of the necromancer' art is not to
see his fair penitents, she had to put her
hand through a slit in screen. After
quite cursory examination the fortune
teller said: Madam, your hand is so
extraordinary that one or two things
must be the truth. Either my skill
must be at fault for once, and see i'm
possible events, or you must be the En-
press Eugenie, for no other hand could
tell of such strange vicissitudes.

Women as Wage Farmers.

The health of that division of women
workers which may be called profess
sional compares favorably with that Of
their more favored sisters, if to have
nothing to do is to be considered as IA
vored. Work itself does not hurt wom-
en-. In the occupations which show
percentage of i'll health it is proved to
be the accomplishments of work, before
mentioned, which are the factor induc-
ing i'll health.
1t must always be difficult to COM
pile statistics covering the moral life of
men or women, but so far as informa-
tion can be collected it proves that girls
who work for their living are girls who
prize virtue and chastity. Vice is al
ways ready to welcome new devotees,
and in a certain sense the girl who
chooses it has less struggle for her food
and clothing than they have who work
19 hours a day doing piece sewing or
working in stores at SIS week. In fac
tory towns it is customary to condemn
the girls who flock on the streets at
night, and who are noisy and conspicu-
GUS there, but it is we'll to remember
that those evenings are the girls relaxa-
ton, and they may be loud without be-
ing sinful. The former comes from q
lack of gentle breeding. not always from
deprayity. Credit is due to these women
who value SO highly that intangible
womanly virtue that they retain it
through temptations outward and in
ward.
The economic evils Of women workers
may be summed up in these paragraphs:
Insufficient wages.
Imperfect health.
Lack of education.
The grinding poverty which forbids.

The unfitness of the workers lives

erations.

EURoPE's TORCH OF WAR.
The npfWIn sf9Yd ~ 4 E yIsepr,s s''~

-Aftor the dreadful Franco German
war of 1901 the principle of prolonged
military service and of diminished an
nual contingents was given up. The
monstrous principle of universal service
was adopted instead. By this principle
the whole nation is under arms.
A country is no longer country; q
people is no longer a people; nation is
now nothing but an army, and coun-
try is only a barrack. Everybody is sur
10 qui vive. If war breaks out today,
all professions become deserted, all func-
tions abandoned; the life of the nation
stops, so that national activity may be
said to begin again only with the blood
that is shed.
Moreover, before two hostile armies
that is, two nations when they are enc
mies-join in combat each of the two
armies-that is, each Of the two infinite
hordes which traverse their several
countries to meet eventually on the
field of battle-will leave behind it
country in famine, its factories silent
and its trade paralyzed
Again, enormous stocks Of food sup
plies must be accumulated on the from
tier where the two armies are likely to
meet, but before reaching these mex
haustible magazines the army must be
fed while crossing their own territories,
and that requires money. So that be-
fore even the first gun is fired each
army will have expended enormous
sums and left in its train towns and vii
lagos stripped of men and beasts, the
cities in famine, the country without a
single tiller of the field. -McClure's

The Ballot and Justice.

A writer in Womankind says that the
great question for women today should
be not the ballot, but justice, the exac-
ton Of the same code of morals for men
and women, the treatment of man as
a moral leper, let alone by women ev-
erywhere if the woman is to become an
outcast. That is better question than
the one of the ballot. That is equal
rights; that is equal wrongs. The bodily
pure women are not always mentally
pure, but let those who are in the posi-
ton from which 'stone throwing" is
possible stone both or none and refuse
the hand of fellowship to both or none.
There is more equal rights in this ques-
ton than in that Of the ballot in any
shape.

Princess A1ix.

The many rumors concerning the deli
cate health of Princess Alix of Hesse
appear to be founded on truth. There is
evidently an apprehension that the
young girls condition may cause her
engagement to be broken off. 1t is a
sine qua non that the wife Of the heir
to the throne of Russia should be Of a
thoroughly sound constitution, and his
marriage with any one not in good
health is positively prohibited by the
Romanoff family statutes. The same
rule prevails in the Austrian and Ger

HEARD in COURT.
Warwick and Coventry Water Com
pany Get Its Books.

The matter OF the Warwick and Coven-
try Water Company against John b. AL
len, trustee of the estate OF Enos Lapham,
came up today on the plaintiffs motion
TO have Allen declared In contempt for
disobeying pcrempto.y writ Of mnnda-
mus commanding the defendant forth
with to deliver to the plaintiff company
all the books OF that company. John
j. Arnold, as representing the COM
pany, said that in response to
this writ certain stubs of receipts
had been returned TO him. but he impor-
tant book OF the company was withheld.
The defendants counsel urged that the
book contained important vouchers of the
estate OF Enos Lapham. The question
was argued rather hotlv between the op-
posing counsel and the court decided that
the company was entitled to its books.
Arnold Green said, that following the
Language of the courts rescript, he
had advised his client, Allen, to with
hold the book desired by the COM
pany and regretted that his intellect
was OF such an obtuse character
that he could not interpret the language
OF the court. Mr.. Arnold thought that
some penalty should be imposed on the
tion Of the English language. The matter
was finally adjusted by the court issu-
ing an order that the book in dispute be
turned over TO John j. Arnold, as the do
fscto officer OF the Water Company, at 10
o'clock Saturday morning, and that in The
meantime the defendant be allowed to
copy from the book those accounts which
he deemed necessary to project tho intor-
ests oi the Lapnam estate.

mentioned as possibilities, but none
have declared themselves, and
the only two names thought
OF by the councilmen who will
vote on tile matter are those OF Mr.. Clarke
and Colonel Chase.
Mr.. Clarke has been in the employ

overlooked by those who could have
brought his case to speedy trial, has de-
veloped considerable discussion as to
whom the responsibility of his long de-
tention should be attached. He was in
dicted when X. W. Burbank was
attorney general and was assigned
no counsel because he stated that his case
was in the charge Of an attorney. 1t IL
naturally supposed that In such an event
the rights of the defendant will be suffi-
GENTLY looked out for, and as no attempt
was made to bring the case to trial by the
defendant or anyone interested in his case,
the fact Of his indictment and confine-
ment seems to have been forgotten
Welch, himself, could have obtained q
trial II he had understood or urged hif
rights IN the matter. At the most the af-
fair Is an unfortunate oversight and could
not have happened ordinarily. Welct
will be tried forthwith.
