A wOMAN's EXPERIENCE
With Men Whom She Met in til
World of Business.

With Men Whom She Met in the
World of Business.
From Womankind.
The woman who meets men in business in
a sensible way, thinking no evil and ex-
pecting none, in ninety-nine cases out of a
hundred will be treated respectfully and
kindly; indeed she will find men much kind
er and more considerate than women in
business dealings. In the possible hundredth
case, where a man shows himself beast
or a puppy (by the way. believe puppy
is q beast also, but We will let it go at that)
it is a very weak woman who cannot MAIN
tain her dignity and teach her insulter a
valuable lesson at the same time.
During the years in which I was earning
my living by newspaper writing have
been in tenements, cellars, through the
slums, among chained and guarded con-
victs and in drawing rooms-the worst
places of all, sometimes, my lady-and al
most invariably have found men in rags,
stripes or broadcloth kind, courteous and
helpful In threading my way through
narrow byways in search of some item of
news I have stopped to ask questions of
the denizens thereof and never yet have
found 4 man SO drunk that he did not man
age to claw his hat off his head while he
answered me in respectful, though some
what tangled UP language.
am not declaring that all men are saints:
in business they will crowd and suppla nj
women, which they have a perfect right to
do, if they use honest methods Twice
while earning my living have been thrown
out of good positions by men; not because
they wanted or could fill the place 1 had.
but through business jealousy and by un-
derhaEd methods that would make a horse
thief flush; SO am prepared to admit tina
there are mean men. but they are in the
minority. Men are just as good, just as
honorable, as generous and as worthy of
trust and confidence the women
1t is time that this cry of working women
against men be stopped. If a woman re-
spects herself she will be respected, and
this is the testimony of those gifted with
like yours truly. We find what we look for
in this world; if we look for evil we find it,
if for good, our search is doubly rewarded

MATRIMONIAL PHILOSOPHY.
The Small Details That Are Given I'm

necessary Prominence.
From the Gentlewoman.
There need be few If any "ructions" in
a house the mistress of which has common
sense, an even temper and a certain
amount of foresight. However, she should
be capable Of managing small details for
herself and should not unduly bother her
husband about things which she should
carry through alone, because to do that is
one of the reasons why she exists at all.
1 am not one bit astonished at the ridicu-
lous manner in which some people talk
about marriage and the fearful thral-
dom and misery thereof" when I have
seen the idiotic way in which some women
behave, and the manner in which they take
every little detail of their lives to their I'M
fortunate spouses to legislate for, from
the evil doings Of the cook and washer
woman to the real or supposed social
sights they have met with. A man de-
tests these puerile matters, and she is wise
who can manage her own domestic details
and who never sees any Sights. 1t Is only
a very small person who can be snubbed,
and to acknowledge a snubbing acknowl-
edges ones own smallness in a singularly
frank and open manner.
But if a woman feverishly dwells on
these things it maddenS a man altogether,
and l. therefore, advise the woman who
is not en.ancipated, and who doesn't think
arout marriage in the imbecile way all too
many people fancy they do nowadays, to
arrange her home and her life SO as to
have as little friction as possible, and to
avoid all the small carelessness and forget
fulness from which SO many silly little
disasreeables all too often spring. resulting
sooner or later in the grave quarreis winch

and they are also very much more resent

WILL GO AT MORRIS PARK.
An Important Three Weeks Meeting

An Important Three Weeks Meeting
to he Held ut Westchester.
Thanks to the dsinterested and unceas-
ing labors of August Belmont and his asso-
ciates, the gates Of Morris Park will be
thrown open tomorrow for three weeks
meeting, and the best traditions of the
turf will be lived up to at the most superb
race course in America.
The program gives every promise of
brilliant sport. There are rich stakes for
two-years- olds and three-years-olds, with
great handicaps for the older division. No
one can complain of the distribution of the
prizes. The famous Nursery stakes and
the Manhattan Handicap will be the fea-
lures Tuesday; the Withers, which has
been made q handicap, will be run Thurs
day. and on Saturday there will be the
Albany stakes for two-year-olds. AS the
one objection urged by trainers against
Morris Park, the hill, has been removed by
the new mile track, the entries in all the
events promise to be unusually large.
The state racing commission held several
sessions at New York Saturday. Joseph s..
Auerbach made the following statement:
Col. 5. Il. Laurence, president of the West
chester Racing Association. was arrested
and placed under parole, in charge of Mr..
Auerbach. A writ of habeas corpus was
granted by the judge, returnabl before
the court of Oyer and Terminer Monday
morning. Corporation Counsel Scott, in
gested that proceedings should be taken to
test the legality of racing at Morris Park,
SO it was decided to make test case by
the arrest of Col. Laurence
NEW YORK. October 14.-Judge Ingra-
ham, IN oyer and terminer, today declared
tfat no crime was contemplated by the
Morris Park races, which open tomorrow
The matter was brought up by test case
which was agreed to on Saturday on a
conference between the police commission
ers, the district attorney and the state
racing and the West Chester Racing AS
ooiation.
District Attorney Fellows had advised the
police commissioners that in his opinion
the racing at Morris Park would not De
lille gal, or, at least, that no arrests should
be made before a hearing on the subject
had been had from a higher court than had
heretofore decided upon it. This was in
view of the fact that Judge Bischoff in this
city. and Judge Gaynor, in Brooklyn, had
rer dered opposing opinions on the consti-
tutionality Of the Drecy-Gray racing law.

The Queens influence.


From the New York World.
From the beginning the queen has frus-
trated Japan's reconstruction plans. The
shrewdest Japanese diplomats have been
sent to Seoul, but she baff1ed every one
Oyeshi was stationed there because he was
energetic, forceful. After he had yainly
tried foA six months to carry out the Jap
anese program Otori took his place and
tried cancellation, but with no better re-
suit. Count 1nouye, one of Japan's ablest
statesmen, was then taken from the i'm
perial cabinet, in which he was the home
secretary, and sent to Corea.
The queen, upon whom everything de-
pended, associated with no foreign woman,
except the Russian minister's wife, for
whom she manifested great friendship.
Russia Is Japan's only rival now for con-
troll in Corea. To win the queen from
Russian influence was of the first import
ance.
Count Inouye was accompanied to Corea
by his wife, who has the reputation of be-
ing highly accomplished, a natural diplo-
mat and popular with her sex.
Count Inouye had little If any better
success than his predecessors.
REGARDING the queen, who had thwarted
his cherished schemes. he frankly said:
She has sagacity rare among her
race, and for her weaknesses there are
many extenuating circumstances. Her in
genuity in tanning her inveterate foes and
making them work devotedly for her is
unsurpassed by any one"
The queen hated Japan with an intense
and uncomfortable hatred. The Japanese
have sent over their most skillful dplo-
matists, but nothing could turn the queen,
She was bred to admire the Chinese, and
therefore she hated the japanese.
As long as the queen lived Japan could
hope for nothing, for the weak king ready
to suspect any and every one else. was
blindly enslaved by the queen, remark
able reversal of the usual order Of things
in Corean domestic economy.

The Murder of the Queen.

The Murder of the Queen.
Mr.. John A. Cockerill, the New York Her.
AIDS correspondent in the Orient, sent the
following dispatch, which was interdicted
at Toxic, but finally allowed to go:
SEOUL, Corea. October 10, 1S95.-The pal
ace was broken into on Tuesday morning at
O'Clock by body OF Corean troops and
band Of japanese sosL. in civilian dress.
The colonel in command Of the troops on

a number of the palace guards were slain.
The japanese entered the queens room
and killed the queen, the minister of The
household and three women. The bodies
were taken outside and burned
The Japanese troops were at the palace
but took no part in the proceedings.
Tai Won Kun, the kings father, reached
the palace soon after the assault and as
sumed the chief authority. He is now die
tator and is known to have been in the

The pro-Japanese party are in control.
Many OF the queens party have been ar-
rested and many more have fled.
1t is believed that the queen dowager was
killed last night, and that the king will be
forced to abdicate
Guards from the United States warsh,p
Yorktown and Russian cruiser at Che

Great excitement prevails. 1t is thought
that the butchery will hasten action on the
part of Russia.

Japanexe Among: the Rioters.

A cablegram to the New York World
from Toxic, Japan, says:
Persons wearing Japanese uniforms and
carrying japanese swords were among the
rioters who lately attacked the royal palace
in Seoul, Corea. At first ii was supposed
they were Coreans disguised as Japanese,
but now it is suspected that they were
Japanese soshi, apparently hired ruffians.
The Japanese government has ordered an
exhaustive inquiry. The chief procurator
(prosecutor) Of the court of Yokohama has
Eeen sent to Corea to direct the investiga-
ton.
Tai Won Kun is supreme. He has forced
the king to issue decree degrading mis-
consort to the level of concubine and out
having her family. The foreign legations
at Seoul are guarded by marines from the
foreign warships at Chemulpo. All is quiet
