Strength in women Fnshional

There is no doubt" writes Mrs. Fen
wick Miller in the London Young Wom-
an, that women have a great deal more
stamina and strength than we have been
led to suppose. Indeed the contrast is
great between the girl of today and the
old idea of a woman as a fragile, help
less creature, and the notion that once
held ground that health, strength, good
appetite and the capacity TO bear fatigue
were unwomanly and among the many
pleasant prerogatives of the other sex
has been more signally overthrown by
the women of today than even the other
ancient standing idea of their sex's hope
less intellectual inferiority.
Good Dr. Gregory, in the last cen
fury, when he wrote a manual of Advice
to His Daughters, that was so much ap-
proved as to become a textbook of con-
duct for our Observation-Disclosures as girls,
told them that they should carefully con-
ceal the possession Of good health and
never talk before men of their strength
and capacity to bear fatigue, for if they
were thought to be well and strong we
recoil from them in a way they are little
aware Of Dear mel How very silly
those recoilfng great-grandpapas Of ours
appear to us today!
"Our far more sensible young men
have learned that good health and
strength of physique among women mean
good temper good company and a capac-
ity to bear up the woman's end of the log
of life without murmuring al the hard
ship and without a final lapse into in
validism, so they do not recoil from the
strong and healthy girl any more, and
she on her part has taken full advantage
Of the change of sentiment and has set
herself successfully to prove that health
and strength really mean increased re-
finement and grace, instead of a loss of
those precious feminine attributes"

ATLANTIC CITY, N. J..
September g. 1906
The season Of social gayety and lots of
visitors IL practically over now. and. while
a great many sojourners still remain, In
town, yet the backbone Of the season is
decidedly broken, as is the case after the
1st of September. Nevertheless, 1t is well
known among tourists that September and
October are the most delightful months,
from a weather point of View, of the year.
Bathing continues all through September.
and In fact. the water Is so thoroughly
heated by the three months of summer
that even in October large number are
seen enjoying their morning bath. This has
been the greatest season Atlantic City has
ever known. there being an average Of
125.OOO people In town every day from the
9Th to the 25th of August. An unusually
large number Of Washingtonians have been
here. heard prominent Washington real
estate man say the other day that be be-
lieved that four-fffths of the white popula-
tion OF Washington had been in Atlantic
City this summer. He further said that
there was no one among his friends and
acQuaintances, whom he could bring to
mind. who had not taken q rest Of a few
days or. In some cases, months, at Atlantic
Clty curing the season OF VI.
There are number of houses distinctly
Washington; that Is kept by people who
run hotels In Washington during the win
ter. and the personnel of their guests often
show three-quarters Of hose quartered at
their houses as being residents Of the capt.
tai city.
All the houses in town. with but very few.
exceptions. are already planning for the
improvements they will make next year,
prompted by this most successful season.
Many will enlarge to double their present
capacity. Several Of the larger houses are
going to put Oh another story, and the hotel
accommodations OF Atlantic City next year
will be amply large enough to accomrno-
date several thousand in addition to the
immense crowds We had this year.
The city IL not going to fall behind in
making improvements. and the city fathers
are even now arranging for a number Of
beach improvements, which will be seen
next year; probably the paving Of the
streets Of the city and the building Of the
wide Longport boulevard drive down the
beach from the city. six miles. which. II It
becomes reality, will make undoubtedly
a fashionable driveway on the order OF the
once popular beach drive at Long Branch.

THE PANAMA CANAL.
Work to BE Rcsumed on the Vast Tn
lcrtnking.

dcrtnkins.
After a suspension of nearly five years,
work Is TO be resumed on the colossal Pan
anna canal project some time next month.
French and American capitalists have, It is
said. been quietly preparing the way dur
ing the last few months. and now they are
nearly ready to begin operations.
One OF the first necessities was the pas
sage Of a law exempting the property of
the canal company from seizure by its
creditors. This being effected. as soon as
the assets of the old concern are trans
ferred to q new corporation all will be
smooth sailing. 50 far as the mana cement
rs concerned.
The limit OF time that stockholders and
boncholders Of the defunct concern have 10
protest against the creation OF O new COM
pany, and the completion Of the work. will
expire In few days. Steps will then be
the full details of which have already been
decided upon.
The commissioners sent to The isthrius in
1870 by the liquidator to Investigate the
condition of the canal and to make an esti-
mate of the probable cost of completion fix
the expense at 9OO.OO,OO0 francs. This was
discouraying to the French public, and the
result was that the work has laid dormant
ever since.
During the past year the subject has been
taken up again. The American gentlemen
connected with the management Of the
Panama road. which Is controlled by the
Panama Canal Company. had Col. A. l..
Rives, the chief engineer of the railroad,
make a careful examination of the work
done. and the cost of completing 1t. Col
Rives completed his Aask, and 1t was SUBJ
mitted to the leading interests Of the canal
and several Institutions in Paris. 1t gave a
new aspect to things. for 1t was estimated
that the projected canal could be completed
with a series Of locks at a cost OF J00,OOO,0OO
francs, instead of 9OO,OOO.OOO as estimated
by the French commissioners.
The proposed new company win be Or
ganized on this basis, II ii Is carried out as
planned. the capital stock being Go,000,0U
francs and the issue of bonds 44O.000,OOO
francs. OF this amount Mr.. Xavier Boyard.
who represents the canal company in this
country, says that D,000,O00 francs have
already been provided.
A considerable part OF the ready money
consists of resolutions forced from those
who came by the companys funds unlaw-
fully. Who the principal ones to disgorge
were Is easily guessed from the recent
scandals and trials I'm Paris. Mr.. Boyard
mentioned several distinguished names.
