Women Do So More Than Men.
From the Philadelphia Public Ledger.

man cannot do two things at q time.
A woman will broil steak and see that
the coffee does not boil over. and watch
the cat that she does not steal the rem
nant of the meat on the kitchen table, and
dress the youngest boy, and set the table,
and see to the toast. and stir thS oatmeal,
and give the orders to the butcher, and she
can do it all ut once and not half try. Man
has done wonders since he came before
the public. He has navigated the ocean,
ne has penetrated the mysteries Of tho
starry heavens. he has harnessed the light

THE SINGLE TAX FIGHT,
Plenty of Volunteers to Take the
Place Of Imprisoned SDeakera

Plenty of Volunteers to Take the
Place Of Imprissned Speakers.
The Delaware single tax war is waxing
hotter. There is every indication that the
climax has not been reached. So far the
arrests of the disciples Of Henry George
have not been marked by any demonstra-
tions of physical violence.
The single takers say they will keep right
on with the fight. Plenty OF men have vol
unteered to take the place of the imprison-
ed speakers. and the new volunteers say
they are perfectly willing to suffer I'M
pr.sonment with the rest. IL they could
only be assured of triumph in the end.
The Single Tax Society of Delaware is
getting It's guns in readiness for the coming
hostilities. They have been in close COM
municat:On with Henry George during the
past few days. and it is intimated that the
latter may come to Delaware to help along
the campaign. Should Mr.. George decide
to come to Dover and try speechmaking
in the public square he Is almost sure to
be arrested

Harold Fiederiek's Cable to the New York Times,
The Manchester chamber of commerce
has committed itself to the new idea Of
utilizing street cars, or what are called
here ''tramway lines,'' during the dead
hours Of night for the conveyance of mer-
chandise, and 1t will associate itself with
similar progressive bodies In the north to
press upon parliament the adoption of some
scheme to make general this night use of
such tracks and plants. There IS no doubt
now that the motor car bill will become a
