and ambition, and am willing to do any
thing, If you will but point out the way.
What can l do?
This is the sort of appeal that every
mail is bringing to all the leading col
leges for women, and the replies, while
full of friendly advice and encourage
! ment, are too often obliged to conclude
with the warning: ''There are so few
ways in which a student can earn money,
and SO many students TO take advantage
of every opening, that in earning money
| younger student is always at disad'
vantage"
Naturally a young girl who has no
help from any source. and plans to
take the four years of the college course
| corsccutively. uiat is, without stopping
to fill her purse by the way, is going to
have pretty hard struggle OF it 1t is an
undertaking that calls for large supplies
of physical strength, courage, intellectual
ability and practical skill. Nevertheless,
it can be done, as some or the brightest
women who have ever graduated from our
colleges can prove.
At Cornell, for instance, there are half
dozen girls every year who manage TO take
the course without any money but that
which they earn while studying. Several
of them earn their board by assisting in the
household tiaties out of study hours in the
families OF some Of the professors and
others interested in the work OF the college.
Ono girl earns her board and room rent by
taking care of her landlady'e baby for three
hours every afternoon. Then. with schol-
arship to cover tuition. their necessary eg-
penses are easily covered. 1t is plan that
can b. carried out satisfactorily in many
colleges. and is particularly desirable as
making no extraordinary demand on
girls physical or nervous powers. There
are in all college towns number OF fami-
lies who would receive students on these
terms, and they would be in no sense OF the
word treated as servants
Wells College, OF which MIS-. Cieve-
land is graduate, is an Institution
where it is possible for a bright ambi-
tious girl to work her way without any
extraordinary difficulty. She must, how
ever, present satisfactory testimonials of
character and scholarship to the presi-
dent, besides passing the entrance exam
ination, or submitting credentials from
an accredited school. The college offers
limited number of scholarships to worthy
applicants who stand in need of help and
come prepared to take the full four years
course These schoIa rships vary in val
ue from $40 to S1OO, and may be held fer
one year with the privilege OF renewal.
There are, in addition, various opportuni-
ties for giving help in the presidents Of
flee. in the library in the stationery room
or in the laboratories, Of which students
may avail themselves.
AT Vassar, too, though there is not much
opportunity for student to earn any con
siderable sum of money, they arc always
glad to encourage self-help as much as pos
sible. The vassar Students Aid Society
is composed of graduates and teachers Of

The New YOrk'SaIOOn System.

From an article in the New York Independent,
Jul" rs, by Theodore Roosevelt, president of the
board of police commissioners Of NewYork city,
The position of the police board
needs no vindication, but if it did, no
more ample vindication could be de-
led than that furnished by recent
publication in the Wine and Spirits
Gazette. In this it is recited, as
mere matter Of history, that Governor
Hill wished to pass law which would
open the saloons on Sunday, but ad-
mitted that it could not be done on
account of the hostile sentiment of the
State. The liquor sellers then com
planned Of the way in which they we've
blackmailed by the Tammany police.
The next step in the transaction
seems almost incredible; but it is re-
lated as a mere matter of course. The
liquor sellers laid before the Tammany
board of police their grievances on the
question of blackmail, and the black
mail was commuted for political ser
vice. 1t was agreed that the saloons
should not be molested in their Sun
day traffic so long as they Loyalty sup
ported the Tammany ticket. Under
this agreement all of the saloon keep
ers who had neither wealth nor politi-
cal pull became the abject slaves of
Tammany hail. The rich saloon
keepers, those who possessed great po'
ltical influence, we're in their turn
the masters Of the police. A police
captain could rule with an iron rod all
of the small saloon keepers in his dis
trict, and he in turn had TO pay un-
questioning obedience to the demands
of the larger ones.
The patrolmen either knew, or were
soon taught, that they must not med
die with any protected saloon. Only
recently / came across a curious case
in which this lesson was taught. A
new patrolman from the country was
put upon a given beat for the first
time. He knew that under the law
all saloons had to close at one o'clock
A big corner saloon kept by noted
Tammany politician remained open
after the hours, as matter OF course
The smaller saloons in the neighbor-
hood had closed. The policeman put
bis head IN the door and directed the
proprietor to close. The proprietor
regarded this as joke. 1t was some
thing SO novel in his experience hC
: could not understand that it had Sc
rious side. After making his round
once again the policeman, Ending tn,
place still lighted, walked in and tolC
: them to shut forthwith. They regard
ed it first with amazement, then will
anger, and finally told him that h
had better mind his own business ant
