ATest Of Civili.ation.

One Of the principal tests by which
we may estimate the degree of civiliza-
ton to which nation has attained, is
it's treatment of woman. When man
was savage, woman was no more
than a companion animal. When he at
tained to the stage of a barbarian, and
had enough intelligence to abandon
caves and build himself dwelling,
womah became the household drudge.
doing the heavy labor of the field also,
and being chattel. Among the Greeks,
the Romans and the Jews, her condition
was somewhat improved, but polygan,y
was lawful, The Teutonic nations of
nineteenth century have placed her on a
higher plane, and she is accorded a
respect and defercnce that excites the
astonishment of Orentals, among many
of whom woman is treated as a being
without mind to be cultivated or q
soul to be saved. 1t is, however, in o r
own country that woman has attained
the position of the beloved and h. nored
queen. In truth, it may be said that
among the better classes, all things exist
tor woman. The railroads, especially,
take every means to provide for her
safety and comfort, and if she is travel
ing alone, great pains are taken to in-
sure her pleasant journey. In this
respect, THE Burlington" takes the
lead, and The Burlington Route is wide
ly known for the courtesy of officials
and employees to lady patrons.
For safe, speedy and satisfying travel,

ITALY SLABS AT SOCIALISM.
Workingmen's Societies Abolished By
Decree of the Government.

Workingmen's Societies Abolished by
Decree of the Governm ent.
Rome Oct. 22-Al the socialist working
mems societies throughout the kingdom
were dissolved to-day by a government
decree. The offices and domiciles of the
members were searched and some i'm
portant documents seized. Several pro-
tests were made against the action of
the government, but there was no disor-
der.
The step was taken owing to alarming
reports sent in by the projects who had
been questioned concerning the associa-
ton. The project of Milan, where there
are fifty five bodies of socialist workers
in correspondence with allied societies
all over Italy, gave a full explanation of
their dangerous doctrines and plans. He
found that the railway employees were es-
pecially numerous and active in the as
ISOLATION. The general programme was
to destroy the existing social system,
abolish private ownership and to demolish
by means Of revision, the whole judicial
fabric.

SAID HE HAD BEEN ROBBED.
A Florida Drummer Accuses Two 81
vannahians of Doing Him.

A Florida Drummer Accuses Two Sa-
vannahians of Doing Him.
A well dressed young man created some
excitement around the Pulaski house last
night by declaring he had been robbed
of about $50. He entered the hotel with
another young man. They were having
an excited discussion and the younger ac-
cused the other of robbing him. They
talked together for some time and the
man who claimed to have been robbed was
heard to offer to compromise with the
other party for $40.
The two men had a struggle in which
the younger man was thrown down. At
ter getting up he began an excited search
for a policeman. The young man poured
his tale of woe into the mpathizing
ear of proprietor Graham of the Pulaski.
He showed a roll of bills amounting to
s2O5, and said that he had $3.50 when he
started out. He visited several places
with friends and by way of diversion
toyed with the fascinating poker dice.
This, he said, accounted for the shortage.
He claimed to have been done out of his
money. AS the young man had con-
siderable jag aboard Mr.. Graham ad-
vised him to remain quiet lest his short
age might be increased before morning.
The young man was not inclined to take
this advice, however He met Policeman
MCGUIRE in front of the hotel and repeated
his story to him. The policeman reported
the matter to the barracks through the
GameweI box, and sent the young man
down to interview the detectives. He
was not in condition to give a very
straight account of himself when he ar
rived at the barracks and remained there
some time. He finally left the barracks
with Detective Bossell.
At the barracks the young man charged
two well-known young men with being the
parties who did him out of his money
The young man has been stopping al
the Screven for several days, and is said
TO be a commercial traveller from Jack.

ST. JOSEPH CHEERS STEVENSON.
The Vice President Given a Magnificent
Ovation in Missouri.

st. Joseph, No, Oct. 22.-After an all
day trip along the northern border of
Missouri. during which his reception ct
different stations amounted almost to an
ovation, Vice President Stevenson ar
rived here tonight at 7:l5 O'Clock. Dur
ing the day he made nearly a dozen
speeches from the platform of the special
car. and at Macon he delivered an ad-
dress lasting almost an hour. Notwith-
standing this severe physical strain, he
was in splendid health and good voice
when he faced an immense audience in
Crawford opera-house tonight. at $50
o'clock.
on their arrival at the Union depot
the Vice Presidents party was greeted
with a salute Of artillery. The Wick
haw Rifles acted as escort of honor and
a committee of citizens with carriages
accompanied the distinguished guest to
the hail. The streets along the line Of
march were denseIy packed with people.
Excursion trains from the surrounding
counties and from Kansas brought thous-
ands of visitors. and it is estimated that
fully 1900 strangers were in the city.
The immense auditorium was packed
from pit to gallery, and a conservative
calculation places the number of people
whom were women. The streets for blocks
around were impossible on account of
the dense throng and two overflow
meetings were held.
Judge o. NJ. Spencer introduced Vice
President Stevenson to the audience, and
when the cheers subsidized, Mr.. Stevenson
began his address. His theme was the in
EQUITIES of the Mckinley bill, and the
benefits TO be derived from the operation
of the Wilson bill and the income tax.
The speaker was frequently interrupted
by shouts of applause and cheers, and at
the conclusion of his address, when he
asked his hearers to stand true to demo-
cratic principles and bury the republican
party in oblivion, the cheering lasted five
minutes. 1t was purely and entirely
partisan democratic audience.
Hon. Fred W. Lehman of St Louis fol-
lowed Mr.. Stevenson, and made an adj
dress which was a gem of oratory and
elected round after round of applause, as
he scored telling hits against the republi-
can party of protection.
Vice President Stevenson left at 10
o'clock tonight for Joplin. Mo. where
he will tomorrow resume his rear plat
form speeches to the democrats of the
southern tier of counties.

The Peary Expedition Relief Steamer
Probably Lost.


Philadelphia, Oct. 22--It is feared that
the steamer Falcon, which conveyed the
Peary party to Greenland, has been lost
with her entire crew of sixteen men.
After landing the members of the Peary
party who returned this year. and the
members of the auxiliary expedition and
their baggage, the Falcon took aboard a
cargo foanthracite coal for her home port,
st. Johns, N. #. She sailed from Phila-
delphia on Oct 3, and nothing has been
heard of her since. Nineteen days have
passed since the vessel sailed, and allow
ing the nine days in which it was esti-
mated she would make the voyage, she
is ten days over due. Westergard & Co,
her consignees, have virtually given her
up, and although the possibility exists
that she may stilf3be afloat there is little
doubt that she has met with disaster.
The Falcons crew of sixteen men were
all residents of New Foundland, and most
of them lived at ST Johns
