The new woman is c%onquering and
soon will have all the rights of the less
handsome sex. Last week a Chicago
judge granted one of her representa-
tives a diverse, coupled with the privi-
lege and duty OF paying the man from
whom shewas separated alimony to the
extent of twentydollars perweek. This
decision will materially weaken the op-
position of male hipeds to woman's
rights.

The action of the G. \. Il. Depart
ment in suspending the G.. A. Il. Post
at Fredericktown for recommending
the nomination of Hon. Z. B. Cahoon

cording to Hoyle, but it seems to us
that the action of the Department could
have been a little more quiet. There
was no use publishing it to the world.

Sutter street, and on Saturday evening he
started toward the ferries to take boa
for home. 1t was raining furiously and
he buried along with other pedestrians
bent on escaping the pelting drops until
he had nearly reached Market street.
Here his attention was arrested by 6
faint cry in a feminine voice of "Help!, and
he stopped to ascertain its sources. II
seemed to come from behind massive
pair of iron doors opposite to where be
was standing, and going close up to them
he demanded:
''Who is it that wants help?"
"Oh, please, sir, get US out" said three
girlish voices in chorus. 1--WE are locked
IN and if you don't help US we shall have
to stay in all night and tomorrow
"Pil find a policeman" said Webb,
starting away; but he was quickly
brought back by a concert of sounds from
inside that told that all three were in
tears.
Don't leave u.s." they sobbed. "We had
been screaming for an hour before any
one paid any attention to us, and if we
lose you what shall we do? Everybody
else went right by without helping US and
they will do so again"
"Well, the door is locked on this side
and l have no key" said Webb, rattling
vainly at the big paddock, that seemed to
defy entrance.
'Wait a moment" called one of the
girls; there are some keys upstairs that
may do"
She took one of her companions for
company through the dark and gloomy
big building and left the other to see that
Webb did not desert his post. which. of
course, he had no intention of doing.
They returned with the keys in a few
moments, and then the problem was to
get the m outside to the young fellow who
was anxious but unable to aid. The door
itself showed no orifice, but an investiga-
tion by Webb of the sill beneath showed a
place where they could be slipped out and
they were soon in his hands.
To the Joy OF all concerned one of the
keys fitted the lock, in a moment the
heavy door swung open and the three
imprisoned damsels pounced on their
rescuer with many terms OF thanks and
endearment. They pa id no attention to

have kissed him had not his evident con-
fusion at the presence of the entire three
kept them from adding to his EN- barrass-
ment
When they had Gained down sufficiently
they explained that they worked on one
of the upper floors of the building, and
that some one on lower floor, supposing
that all of the employees were out, locked
the doors and carried away the keys. The
girls were still thanking Webb when he
remembered that it was nearly boat time
and hurried away.

in Judge Joachimsen's court yesterday
morning charging him with an assault

Warrant Clerk Graham handed her the
complaint and warrant for her husband s
complaint before the Judge. She sud-
denly changed her mind and in the after
noon called at Judge Cam pbelPs court
and wanted to swear to the complaint be-
fore him, preferring to have the case tried
by him. The Judge informed her that
although she swore to the complaint be-
fore him the case would have to be tried
by Judge Joachimsen.
Prosecuting Attorney Quigley took her
in hand and after hearing her story ad
vised her to return this morning and
swear to a complaint charging her hus-
band with threats to kill, as he did not
think the charge of assault with deadly
weapon would be sustained. She reluct-
antly left promising to accept the Prose-
