WHY WOMEN FEAR MICE.
Some Theories Expressed by scien-
lists on IL Much Disputed Subject.
From the WASHINGTON Stgr

From the Washington Star.
Why is a woman afraid of a mouse?
The sex is getting so advanced opadays
that it is high time this question should be
cleared up. If the fact-supposng it to be
a facts due TO an inherent lack of
strength of mind or of nerve, that should
be determined So long as it remains I'M
settled, no argument will be available for
the purpose of squelc.bing ill-bred and en-
vious males who are disposed to jeer and
cavil at the efforts which lovely woman is
making to enlarge her sphere.
Accordingly, the writ er has propounded
the query to a number of the most emf
nent scientists in this country. 1t is to be
hoped that boiling down of their various
opinions will result in som ething salts
factory. In order that the views obtained
should have as wide scope as possible
wise men in many branch es of knowledge
were addressed on the subject.
DR.. ID. u. Salmon of tho United States
bureau of animal industry says: "Prini-
tive human beings lived in. caves. Caves
are usually invested by s YARNS of mice.
It is easily to be understood that the wo-
men Of the caverns must have suffered
great annoyance from mice, which scamp
cred over them in the night, while they
were sleeping with nothing but leaves or
the skins of animals to cover them Thus.
at length, they became vely nervous on
the subject and this nervousness became
hereditary in their sex.
DR.. Stiles, the expert in. animal para
Sites says: "A woman, as a rule. is
afraid OF any small animal She is more
afraid OF small animals than OF large ami
mails. / nave known women who were
afraid of mice and not afraid Of rats

fear of q snake. In fact, man is not
afraid OF a snake He does not run AWAY

Prof. Otis T. Mason, the anthropoloeist
says .'Ef a man was dressed like a vvo-
man ne would be just as much afraid of a
mouse as she is. Men are more afraid of
good milny things than women are. A

Clements, who has just got back from

in the far south. Some big games were
played in the palatial hotels down there
this winter and one can hear stories of
how thousands have been wagered on a

some exaggeration in these tales. but

FROM Inc New York sun.
A man who wanted to join the Baptist
church at Jacksonville Fla, was brought
out for baptism in St. Johns river during
the recent spell of wintry weather there.
As he did not like the chilly water the
Baptist minister took him to a barber
shop where hot and cold water baths
could be got and the bath tub was filled
with lukewarm water wherein the min
lister baptized his convert. We never be-
fore heard of case of the kind The
Bapusts hreabouts have always claimed
that no one ever suffered harm from hap
tism ia the coolest water. In this neigh
borhood, short time ago, the thick ice
upon a pond was broken through. and
both men and women were plunged into
the pond for baptism. And we have heard
OF no evil results.

\ farmer in Michigan sold his farm
of one hundred acres in 1864 for SiOo
per acre-not an eXtravagant price at
that time and received $1,000. With
this he bought $4,000 of United States
bonds bearing d per cent interest in
coin. These bonds furnished an in
come of $500 per annum, and left him
free TO dispose of his own labor As he
saw lit. His labor together with his
income from the bonds supported his
family without adding to or taking
from the original amount received as
proceeds from the sale OF the farm. In
1873 the s per cent. bonds were ex.
changed for 1 per cents. due in 1907. AT

years the business of farming paid him

MANAGERS ON THE STAND.
A Feature of the A. X. u. Trial-Four De-
PENDANTS Discharged.

CHICAGO, Feb. 6. Dennis Larkin,
Frank Drcyer, James Mcdonald and
Frank Burke, four of the defendants in
the A. Il. L. trial, were discharged by
Judge Grosscup because there was no evil
dence against them, but he declined to dis
charge the whole list and the defense be-
gan its testimony By putting Benjamin
Thomas, president CT the Western In
diana, and IA member of the General Man
ers' asSocaiation, on the stand.
He was followed by Roswell Miller,
president of the Chicago, Milwaukee and
st. Paul, and he by A J. Hurley, general
manager of the same road. Then Presi.
dent Thomas took the stand again, bring
ing with him the proceedings of the Gem
eral Managers association, which he sub
mittcd to the court on stipulation that
only the matter relating strictly to this
case be made public. Mr. Thomas was on
the stand nearly all day. The object of
the defense in calling these witnesses was
TO prove that the Chicago general man.
ayers were combined against movements
OF labor just like the \. Il. u. is combined
to support labor movements.
Ii is therefore argued that-it being
proved that the general managers acted
together in refusing an increase in wages
to the SWltcnmer when IL was demanded
the General Managers association is u
conspiracy if there is one involved in the
n X. L. operations. The records of the
meetings showed that the general mana
gers did act together rs to the switch
men Then the defense attempted to
prove that there was an understanding
with the Pullman company long before
the strike occurred. In this it failed, it
being testified that there never was such
an understanding; that there was no con-
ference with any one connected with the
Pullman company until after the strike
occurred.
A point the defense made, however, was
to show that the managers had combined
to get up a scale OF wages for railway en-
ployes ON their lines. Thomas said that
in January, iS95, the association had ap-
pointed n committee to equalize the
wages of the employees. A scale OF the
wages paid by all of the roads was col
lated for tha: purpose- a labor bureau
was organized to secure the employment
OF men in the event OF any Of the en-
ployes striking. The expense of this bu-
rcau was met by an assessment on all the
