Eagle of last Thursday quotes Mr..
Miller, the manager Of the company:
81 am not used to this kind Of treat
ment and l want to say that it CON-
ing in the state of Kansas makes it
seem more strange to me, l will tell
you that We have stopped at all the
frst-clasS hotels in the United States,
and the only trouble we have ever had
with the guests of hotel has been
their importuning US 10 come to the
parloTS and sing and play for them.
If you had been in Texas today instead
of upon Kansas soil and should have
received this refusal it would not
have been such a surprise to me.
Even had it been in Texas 1t would
only have happened where we are IN
known,
"There is not a member Of the COM
pany who is not only graduate and
been before the public for years, but
not an ungentlemanly or unladylike
act has ever been brought against
them. Besides this, they all have
sufficient means to live on and pay all
bills, while our manager, Mr.. Melli-
ken. is one Of the wealthiest head
managers Of Cperatic and theatrical
companies in the country, and the
insult offered tC US for the first time,
may be brought out in the court Of
inquiry where it will be adjusted.
Other people have legal rights and 1t
is our duty to protect, and not inter.
fere with the same. While this Is
true, we have rights guaranteed to u.
by the constitution and laws OF Kan.
sas, and for this company to quietly
sit by and see those rights trampled
upon, and let an insult pass unnoticed,
is not only an injustice to US. but to
our race"

The New Woman.


You read in the papers very often
IN these days about the New Woman.
Now l do not think there is a new
woman any more than there is a new
electricity. Just as electricity is be.
Ing discovered, woman is being dis
covered, she has been here all the
time. She came up out of the jungle
with man. She helped him to make
the first tools and implements and
weapons. She has helped him through
all the years. She came across the
ocean with him, and helped him to
form this new home for this new peO-
pie, and she is here today, to move
on and up, and to help move the
world on and up with her. New?
Yes, she is. Born out Of the exper-
fence of the past, out of the struggles
Of the past, out Of the repressions of
the past, she is pew to herself, and is
just beginning to discover herself, and
out Of the discovery are coming new
ways and means by which she will
help to make humanity discover it
self. Down in Mexico they had a
railroad msde-a street railway.
They sent up north for the railway
cars. and when they came they found
the cars were too wide for the road;
and those Mexicans locked the cars
all over, inside and out, the whole
mechanism Of them, and tried to fiji
the cars to the road, but they
couldn't do 1t. They did not know
.rdWhat to do. Should they send the
cars back to be altered? By and by
a Yankee from New England said: 81
will take the contract to arrange that
all right for you II you will pay me Sc
much" They agreed. He took up
the rail, moved it a little and put the
cars on and they ran all right. The
new woman is here, and One-half Of
humanity is trying to see if they can
arrange her mechanism in such way
that she will run on the narrow guage.
You remember the old text that you
have so often heard repeated: "The
WOMAN whom thou gaveSt to be with
me, she gave me of the tree and did
eat. "But there was an old negro who
read it this way: ''The woman whom
THOU gaveSt to be with me, she gave
me of the tree and l did eat.n So
there are those who seem to think
that the Thou" in the beginning
made mistake, that woman has not
the mechanism which is right, and
which will keep her to her sphere,
They seem to think that if women
are not kept to their sphere, the
whole universe will come to chaos
But all we need to do is to lift the
rail and move it. Make a way broad
enough, and you will not have tC
change the construction, but she will
move on with the mechanism which
was given her in the beginning, ant
which she has developed on to thu
\ better upbuilding of human inStitu

A Lady Ininred,

Mrs. Louis Jacques was run over
and seriously injured this morning
by a runaway on East Commerce
street. The horse became unruly
and when the vehicle turned from
st. Joseph's street into East Com
merce the negro driver lost control
of the animal. A telephone pole
was struck and the cart turned
over. The boy jumped up, unin-
jured, and ran away, but both
horse and cart ran over Mrs.
Jacques, who was crossing the
street at the time. Her shoulder
was broken and she was severely
bruised about the head. She was
carried to her home on East Com
merce street, and her wounds
dressed.

A Gold Lace In Alaska,

The latest story of a wondrous gold
find in Alaska is of lake whose bed is
literally paved deep with gold dust as
ponds are floored with mud. Hans
Christian Pande, name suspiciously
near that of the great teller of fairy
stories, an old sea captain. told the
story of his find on his arrival in Seat
tie few days ago. The lake is 1000
yards long, 400 yards wide and $50 feet
deep. 1t is fed by water from glacier.
and its only outlet is little stream two
feet deep, but of incredible swiftness.
According to Mr.. Pande's theory, based
on assays of some sand from the shores
and bottom of the lake, the glacier has
for centuries been bringing down gold
from the mountains and depositing it
in the cup-like basin of the lake. The
assay showed eight to ten dollars a
cubic yard, and on this basis a man
could alone blast out the side of the
lake, drain off the water, and dredge
out his gold.-Chicago Inter Ocean.

INDIAN GIRL GETS A DIVORCE.
Husband Brands Her with Skull and
Crnsshnnes Before Desertion.

Husband Brands Her with Skull and
Crossbones Before Desertion.
The first divorce ever granted to a
Kiowa Indian, or, in fact, to any MEM
Der of the affiliated tribes of the XII
owas, COMMANDERS or Caddoes, was
granted in the FL Reno 20. To- district
court the other day. The plaintiff
in the case is full-blooded kiowa
girl named Bealhoo Koo. She alleged
that two years ago she was abducted
by a half-breed Caddo, named Walter
Upday, and taken to Fort Smith, Ark,
but she escaped and started for the
Darlington Indian agency, Oklahoma,
ON foot. Upday followed within a few
weeks, and later married the girl, the
Indian wedding ceremony being used.
The first night of the honeymoon he
branded skull and crossbone on her
arm and gave her a potion, which she
refused to take and which proved to
be poison. Within "a hours he deserted
her. Recently Mrs. Upday became en-
amored of Kiowa Indian, and, upon
being told that marriage could not
take place until divorce was secured,
she enlisted the sympathy OF white
friends. The court granted the divorce
and restored. the girls maiden name.

he judges most deserving of such
honor.
The history of the Laetare medal,
though brief, is marked by many famil-
lar names. Its first year, 1888, saw it
presented to John Culinary Shea, the
historian of the American church. Dur
ing the next three years it went to Pat
rick Kelley, the architect; Eliza Allen
Starr, poet and artist, and Gen. John
Newton, the engineer. In 1887 there
was a break in the chain. The name of
the man chosen by the trustees is not
set down in any book. Hewas convert
to the Catholic faith, but he vowed to re-
fuse any ecclesiastical honor offered
him, and he felt that he must decline
the offer. In 1855 the medal was given
to P. V. Hickey, editor of the Catholic
review, and during the following years
to Mrs. Anna Hanson Dorsey, William
]. Onahan, Daniel Dougherty, Henry f.
Brownson, Patrick Donohue, Augustin
Daily and Mrs. Anna L. Sadlier.
The medal conferred each year is of
necessity very similar to those which
have gone before, but certain unique
ness is impaired by the efforts of the
artist to epitomize the career of the one
to whom it is awarded. The one pre-
sented to Gen. Rosecrans is almost Sc
verely plain. 1t is a massive disk OF
gold, with raised edges and sunken
center, bearing on the diverse the usual
legend: Magma Est Veritas ct Prae-
valebit." The letters are of black
enamel and precious stones. The re-
verse of the disk is much the same. An
other inscription in black enamel let
tiers encircles Gen. Rosecrans' name,
which is engraved in the center. The
medal was presented by Bishop Mont
gomery, of Los Angeles, in whose die
cese Gen. Rosecrans resides.
