SIG. 600, deposited Friday by Internal
Revenue Collector Jump, to be shipped
to the. Cincinnati s~ubtreasury, is also
missing. The theft may go much
larger.
The safe was locked by Fardeu. who
alone knew the combination, and an
expert is at work on the safe to open
it. Farden was a former pension
clerk at Washington, and has been
cashier here two years. No trace of
either a be found.
AZ 10 o'clock last night it was posi-
lively ascertained that the SO, 600
package was stolen. A locksmith sue
ceeded' in opening the safe and the
money was gone. The records of the
Office show it was not shipped. SO that
there is no doubt but that Farden car.
ried it with him when he left here Mt

dence of crookedness has been found
in Farden's accounts.

This movement has received the in
dorsement of most of the United States
senator's from the west.
Last winter the legislature of Mime
sofa memorialized congress in support
of this measure. Senator McCleary, Of
Mankato, is gathering data from Cam
ada and the United States with q view
to urging it in the northwest and in
congress.
The east has no transportation ques-
ton. Her manufactured goods, worth
perhaps thousands of dollars a ton, are
not perceptibly affected by a slight DIFF
erence in freight. The farming dis
tricts of the west are vitality affected
when all profit in their crops is eaten
up by the carrying charges. As o ma
tional question it should be borne in
mind that the manufacturing east re-
ceives her raw products largely from
the west; also her cheap food supplies
In turn she finds her best market IN the
farming states of the west. 1t should
also be remembered that the enormous
cash balance annually required abroad
to settle the foreign exchange must be
providel in the main by the western
and southwestern farms or by gold.

NO CAST, TIPS" FOR WOMEN,
They Get Only Smiles and Smirks From
Men AT Restaurants.

In restaurants where women are IN
ploycd as walters the average man seems
to 30 OF the opinion that smiles or
smirks are tautamount to tips" al.
though they cost the giver nothing and
have no cash value anywhere, except
perhaps a. clements to be considered in
estimating damage in breach of promise
suits. Why a man should consider it
more or less obligatory on him to give q
gratuity to the man who waits upon
him, be he white or colored, while his
conscience relieves him Of all such obi
cations when n woman performs q sim.
liar service for him, is one of those mys-
teries which the feminine mind is in
capable Of solving. hAve oonversed
with several mattresses on the sub
ject, and they have always told me that
they would infinitely prefer dimes to
smiles, moro especially as their pay is
so small that the problem Of making
both ends meet is for them a particular.
ly hard one.
1t may be said III defense of mascu-
line custom in this matter that the con
duct of the recipients of these amatory
demonstrations would justify the opip-
ion that they prefer them to small Pc
cuniary emoluments, but the cruel fact
is that the girl employed in q restau-
rant who doesn't act more or less rs a
dirt stands no chance Of retaining her
position. A complaint Of q customers
familiarity instead Of causing him to be
rebuked would more likely result In her
own dismissal. 1t isn't alone for wait
ing that she is paid. She is expected to
make herself attractive"
There are many men Of an economical
turn Of mind whose patronage of restau-
rants where women are employed is
largely due to the fact that at such
places they can refrain from clipping
without being suspected Of meanness.
And a dime saved is 20 cents earned.
But all the same a woman who waits
on a table in a restaurant is Just rs
much entitled to a Tip" as a man, and
the fact that she doesn't get it is only ALI
other link in the chain Of evidence which
shows that the average man will always
take advantage of a woman in pecuniary
matters if he gets a chance-that is to
say, for doing the same thing he will
always pay a woman less than he will q

The Japanese Soldiers' Diary.

1t appears that notebooks are quite
common in the japanese army among
both soldiers and coolies. They keep
regular diaries and take copious notes
of everything they see. at is surpris-
ing, writes a wal correspondent to the
China Mail, what O lot they know
about the great west. Several Of them
talk intelligently of Spartans and Per-
slams, Napoleon and his march to Mos
cow, and even compare the abolition Of
feudalism in England and Japan. They
fully understand all that is implied in
the contrast between old fashioned hand
to hand warfare and modern long range
maneuvers, and they speak scornfulIy Of
the Chinese tactics at Ping Yang in try
ing cavalry charges against massed bod
les of riiemen without first using their
machine guns, as the French at Water
loo did their fieldpieces to throw the
ranks into disorder. All this from the
japanese must be surprising to Europe
ans, because we do not know them.

The Famous Bridge to He,

Steel is the bridge material Of the
future. Whether it takes on the grace
full curves Of the suspended cable or the
airy balance Of the c~antalever or the
cobweb construction Ut our Pecos and
Kinzua it will have its own beauty.
The science of bridge building clearly
points the way to the art Of bridge
building. which is simply truth. We
are rapidly learning to accept new ideas
OF the strength Of materials. We admir-
ed the Roman arch because it showed
mass and strength in q strong material.
We are beginning to grasp the idea Of
lightness and strength combined in the
steel cantalever.
The most famous bridge is still on
paper. If the Hudson is spanned by q
six track railroad bridge. we may have
a splendid cantalever of 400 feet longer
span than the Forth bridge and quite
as high above the water. 1t il possible
that the bridge may be another suspen-
sion. Whatever form it ultimately as
sumes it will be the famous bridge of
the world .-Chautahquan.
