Is 1t Sign Of woman's Ability?

Is 1t Sign of Woman's Ability?
The Philadelphia Times is not of the
opinion that the Woman's building at
the Atlanta exposition or any woman S
building at any of the great fairs is
complimentary to the sex. The editor
says:
1t is disappointing to find that the emancipa
tion of woman has not vet reached the point
at which women can put their work in open
competition with the corresponding work of
men. 1t must still be exhibited separately,
like the work of the freedmen, the Indians the
blind, the feeble minded and other detectives
whose achievement it would not be fair to
judge by the usual standard. AS this dis
elimination is not insisted on by envio is man,
but is apparently quite voluntary ON tl.e won.
ems part we must accept it as expressive of
their own estimate of the position to which all
this talk has brought them.
When it comes to actual competition, the in
stinctive claim to special consideration be-
cause of the weakness of the scx unconscious
ly asserts itself
Some day there will be world S fair with
out woman's building, or at least the wom-
ans building will be devoted to distinctively
feminine pursuits and interests, and the WON
en- whose tastes or accomplishments lie in IL
rections ordinarily followed by men will
either take their chances in the .smain build
ing" or keep out of it altogether This is best
because the idea that commonplace or feeble
work of any kind derives a merit from being
done by woman is not conducive either to
the self respect of women or to the advance
ment Of the world. If work is good of its kind
it ne' DIS no apology; if it is not, it is entitled

Whereas. IT has come to the notice Of
the railroad employees of the state Of
Washington that there have been intro

for the reduction of rates charged for the
transportation Of wheat and other grain
and the carrying OF passengers; and
Whereas, We the undersigned en-
pIoyes OF railways in and about Seattle
firmly believe the proposed legislation TO
be detrimental to our interests. inasmuch
as any legislation for the reduction OF the
revenues of the railroad companies will
tend TO force corresponding reduction in
the number OF employees and salaries paid
TO such employees: and
Whereas. Legislation detrimental to
the interest OF railway employees will in a
corresponding degree AFFECT all other
classes OF industry, owing to the reduced
number of employees and reduced compen-
satlon for their labor. therefore be 1t
Resolved. That We. the employees OF
the various lines OF railway centering in

test against the passage OF said bills. and

island. and shortly after. unknown to the
parents. caused her TO be taken up by the
Sisters. Thereupon Matson called twice
on tbs girl. each time informing the SIS
tiers he wanted her restored to him.
The Sisters side OF the case is that they
took the little girl practically OFF the
street, and took care OF her without any
compensation. When the case came up
yesterday they made no opposition. save
to the child's being released without pay
msnt OF costs.
Judge Langley decided that the child
should be restored to her father, and
same time freeing the House OF the Good
Shepherd from any liability as to the costs
OF the proceeding.
The Matsons live near Renton and are
in straitened circumstances. The father
does whatever he can find to do. and the
mother works out. They have two other
children. a s-year-old boy and a l2-year-
old girl. The boy Is with Mrs. Ryther.
