LESS TRUTHFUL.
This Is Mans Assertion In Regard to
Women Compared With Men.

Women Compared With Men.
A man who has made q study of
women and their ways remarked tho
other day that women are, as set, less
frank and truthful than men. Whatever
truth there is III this assertion we may
be sure it is at least not innate, but duo
to the difference in the requirements Of
the two sexes and the consequent diff
ference i'll their education. Men arc
taught to reveal true natures from tho
cradle to tho grave. Men arc taught
that, being human, they are subject to
various passions and liable to fall into
error which it is not necessary for them
to conceal, for if they deviate from tho
straight and narrow path tho world will
quickly forget and forgive Women, Oh
the contrary, are taught that if they arc
not inwardly statues Of decorum, they
must make it appear that they are, for
tho world is merciless to ono Of their
sex who by word or deed hints that the
smallest tottering on her pedestal, not
to mention even momentary descent
from it, is possible.
In short, women arc required to con-
ceal their real human selves from all
bcbolders as absolutely as they conceal
their lower limbs in tho conventional
draperics of femininity, while men arc as
free to reveal their real selves to tho
world as to clothe themselves in tho
neither garments of their sex. But con-
cealment or lack of frankness is by no
means untruthfulncss. -Philadelphia

The Board of Harbor Commissioners de-

specifications for the new ferry station.
fight is expected to follow on the heels
of this action. 1t is generally believed the

pointed, as all the unsuccessful contractors

AT the meeting of the Harbor Commits.

Carthy, the contractor on the mason work.
was one of the most interested spectators
next to W. Farwell of the Niles quarry,
who has made strong fight for his stone
The odds were against him.
The board architect, Mr.. Swain, and
Engineer Holmes were positive in their
opinion that the Colusa stone. the price
being the same as that OF the Oregon gray,
was the better. Their investigation had
convinced them that the Sites stone, after
long exposure 10 the elements, showed no
sign OF dlsintegration, and in the case of
some OF the quarry product in use on the
steps leading uD to the main entrance of
the Catholic church in Colusa for eighteen
years the tOolng was almost as distinct as
when laid in place by the masons.
In the case of the Niles stone no obiec-
tion as to its durable qualities was made,
but Messrs. Swain and Holmes were of the
opinion that it would be difficult to quarry
the stone in the specified dimensions In
the minds OF these TWO experts a grave
doubt existed as to the possibility of quar-
rving the requisite sized blocks.
Mr.. Farwell demurred TO this opinion,
but it did him no good.
The Sites stone will be used unless the
unsuccessful bidders succeed in compel
lug the Commissioners through the courts
to hold to the original specifications.
Attorney Stratton holds that the board
had the right to take this action, but in
the event that trouble ensues he ordered
that the proviso be made in the amended
specifications that The original contract
and specifications shall be binding on
both parties.
Mr.. Gorall of the Pacific Bridge Com
pany, who is understood to be back of the
Mccarthy tender, agreed to the proviso,
and thus the matter stands until The in
evitable fight comes.
