fearful Inquiries.

All day the officers of the Pacific
Mail and of the telegraph companies
and newspapers have been filled with
anxious friends of passengers and
!. crew, making fearful inquiries about
/ their friends. Many of the scenes were
h,aitiful in the extreme, and the most
eszomy forebodings prevailed, despite
ffk accurances of Pacific Mail officials
that the Colima's machinery was in
excellent condition, having been in
(epected just previous to her depart
ure, thaS her conmander and officers
were skilled sesznen, and that the
chances were all in favor of the safety
OF their friends.
Among the passengers unaccounted
Cor are Prof. Harold Whiting, Mrs.
Whiting, Miss Rose Whiting and two
children, of Berkeley. Prof Whiting
occupied a chair in the State Univer-
sity Another is J. E. Chilberg, Of
Seattle, WHO was on his way south TO
interest Central American coffee plant
ers in new steamership line between
Central America and Puget Sound.
The Pacific Mail officials have received
no further information beyond the dis

The official report of the women's re-
lief corps Of South Dakota shows forty
three corps in the state, with a member
ship Of l,l2O. The amour of cash ex-
pended for relief during the quarter was
1896, and an estimated value of Sl24 in
relief other than money. The amount
OF money reported in the general fund of
the various corps Is S6l6; and Of relief
funds there was at the end Of the quar-
ter $40. The total number Of persons
assisted during the quarter were 2O2.
This quarter covering a period when but
little relief was needed does not show
tine amount OF work that the ~organiza-
ton expects to carry on in other seasons
OF the year. The objects OF this society,
as are we'll known, are to assist the vet
eran and his family; to look after such
matters at the soldiers home that only a
woman can do; to assist in keeping up
the national home for hospital nurses at
Madison, . to look after the proper
observance Of Memorial Day, and TO in
culcate principles of patriotism in the
boys and girls Of the land.

An Alleged Failing That Has Deferred

An Alleged Failing That Has Deferred
Woman's Emancipation.
The bond Of fellowship which exists
between man and man simply by virtue
Of a common sex is entirely absent be-
tween woman and woman. 1t is, in
fact, replaced by a fundamental antago-
nism, a vague enmity which renders
the general attitude Of a feminine crea-
ture toward her kind essentially differ
ent from that of the male creature in
identical relations. In individual cases
this feeling is counteracted by affection
or by sympathy, but apart from person
al sentiment it remains, severing every
living m from the rest of her sex.
To a great extent this arises from wom-
ans incapacity for impersonal feeling or
abstract emotion. In life's fray she
fights either for her WI hand o. more
often, for some one man or woman
whom she loves, but rarely for the vel
fare Of her sex at large.

their %subjugation would have been enor-

seekers after freedom met with more
opposition from their W sex than they
did from the other nor, indeed, do they
fare better today. Enormous changes
in their social status were effected by
IN inconsiderable minority of women

GET EXCITED
Five Hund.e Chicago Ne
groeS Resolve to Go to the
Aid Of Brethren
Said the Chicago Police Will
Be Called on to Prevent
Their Departure.-

CHICAGO, Aug. Five hundred ex.
cited negroes in mass meeting passed
resolutions demanding that Governor
Altgeld protect the colored people at
Spring Valley, Ills, and asserted their
determination to leave for that place
in the event Of the refusal Of the gov
ernor to take action. Fully 600 COL
ored men met at a State street hall
n response to q call. The men
were excited and the speeches were
violent and determined. The resolu.
tons adopted asked the governor to
take Immediate action to protect the
colored miners Of Spring Valley from
mob violence. and all those present
pledged themselves by vote to 90 to the
scene Of the trouble if no word was re-
ceived from the governor before even
ing.
Was a Wild Meeting.
The colored people decided to- stay
in session all day. and a committee Of
four men was sent to Spring Valley to
report on the situation there. The com
mittee was expected to reach the mines
at $3.50 p. m, and it was decided, if
they report by telegraph that their
brethren were not being properly pro-
tected by the state authorities, an or
ganized company of rescuer would
leave Chicago at 4:3O and go directly
to the aid of the colored miners. The
meeting was a scene of wild excite.
ment, half dozen speeches being made
at the same time. A white lawyer by
the name of Waters attempted to ad.
wise moderation and was promptly
thrown through a window by his en-
ragged hearers.
Police VIII Stop Them.
The violence of the sentiments ex.
pressed alarmed the authorities, and
the Italian consul here hurried to the
city hall and asked that the police pre-.
vent the men from leaving the city.
Mayor Swift and Chief Of Police Ba-
denoch held q conference with the
consul, and it was decided that il the
colored men attempted to board . train
for Spring Valley they would be
stopped by a detail Of policemen.

WARNINGS DETECTIVES.
A Novel Plan to Aid Him In the Work o.
Street Cleaning.

A Novel Plan to Aid Him In the Work o.
Street Cleaning.
Colonel Warnings latest scheme for
improving the condition of the streets
of New York is we'll under way and
costs the city no money. The colonel,
however, disclaims all credit for the
scheme, but says it originated in the
brain of Alexander S. Drescher, ordinance
inspector of the Second district. Dresch-
er's scheme is to teach the youngsters
on the east side to throw their banana
and orange peels into ash cans, instead
OF into the street, and to tell their
neighbOrs not to stain the immaculate
purity of the pavements with the stumps
of their cigars. When q small boy sees
a man about to throw u stump Of q
cigarette into the street, he is to rush
up to him and say: ,
"Please, mister, won't you carry that
around the corner? There's an ash bar
rel there"
If the man won't, the small boy is to
be taught to pick the stump up daintily
between his thumb and first finger and
carry it to the ash can himself.
Drescher, who has lived on the east
side all his life, hit upon the scheme
several weeks ago. He thought that if
the hordes Of children that fill the
streets could be taught to be careful the
older folk would follow their example,
and no. only would the work Of the de-
partment be much lighter, but the peo-
pie would come to take a pride in the
streets. He therefore, with Colonel War
ing's approval, enlisted in his aid the
teachers Of the Hebrew institute, where
2,OOO children are taught. The teachers
fell in with the scheme, and classes
were formed at which Mr.. Drescher told
the children what they could do. Then
they We're organized into a league, and
buttons were given to them.
But If Mr.. Drescher carries out his
scheme rs far as he wants to there will
be a force of miniature detectives and
inspectors on the east side that will
spread terror among neglected landlords
and careless people who litter up the
streets. The pupils Of MI. Drescher arr
to be SO instructed in the law that they
will report to the department all viola
tions of street ordinances and report
neglectful street cleaners, and they're
going to look out for violations of the
tenement house laws, and Colonel War
ing is going to give a hearing to all the
little detectives that ask to be heard

Pioneer Press, 5: Sir Benjamin Ward
Richardson, an eminent English physi-
clan who has long been engaged In the
art and practice Of cycling, and has done
much to popularize il by recommending
it as one OF the most healthful forms of
exercise, contributes an article to the
North American Review in which be
points out the dangers from cycling.
These dangers arise wholly from the
overstrain Of excessive riding.
And for this reason he dwells with
especial emphasis on the danger OF
teaching the practice to subjects who
are too young. "Cycling," he says,
should not be carried on with any
ardor while the body 10 undergoing its
development" The cartilaginous struc-
lures have to be transformed into true
osseous structures before the body is
perfected. If pushed into too rapid
growth it may easily cause a deformity.
The spine especially is apt to be injured
by too early riding. But it is the heart
which lie principally exercised in cycling
and one bad effect Of too much riding by
boys and girls is an undue enlargement
of the heart. Ia the young it also effects
unfavorably the muscles of the body by
disproportionate developments Of the
develop the abdominal muscles properly,
nor those Of the arms or back. The
effect Is to unbalance the body as q
whole and to impair it's healthy action.
Finally in the young cycling tells un.
favorably on the nervous function by
trying too severely the senses OF sight
and hearing in the avoidance Of coils
ions or other dangers.
In the mature the dangers to health
are simply the result of too hard work,
an excessive expenditure Of energy,
some of the worst effects of which are the
enlargement Of the heart and derange-
ments of the blood vessels, resulting
from their extreme tension under undue
pressure. DR.. Richardson does not,
therefore, look favorably On bicycle races
or on excessive riding for any purpose.
We do not undertake here to object to a
moderate amount Of riding by boys and
girls, but it should be carefully limited
by their parents, both as to time and the
ardor or energy put into it. Now that
cycling is bscoming a nearly universal
rage, these a~dmonitions of an eminent
physician whe believes in the healthful
effects Of a moderate and judicious use
Of the wheel are very timely, and we
trust they may serve a useful purpose
in tempering the enthusiasm which too
often carries the ambitious rider into ex-
plots OF physical endurance which are
sure IN the end TO result lnjuriously t o
the health.
