NO LOSS OF CASTE.
Support Does Not Endanger
Womans Social Position.


The discussion of it could go on
emdlessly, but that which has sug-
gested it today is the forced departure
made by so many young women o>Athe
world INFO selfsupporting work.
Wasn't Ii Give Newcome who bllshed
when he told old Lady Kew that he
had become an artist? We do not
blush any more when we confess 20
being painters and writer's, but 1t has
required even more courage than
young Newcomers to do what these
girls have done gone into the trim
ming and disposal of hats, the selling
of flowers over a counter, the renting
and keeping of houses young women
born to social position 1t cost some
thing to hazard And that they have
not lost it, and will not, proves how
liberal we have grown. Not many
years ago we blushed when confessing
TO be goyernesses.
1t is society which lends it's gener-
GUS aid to these workers, and II a So
cial position is lost by one, it is not
because a snob has willed 1t, but be-
cause inevitably. interests become
divided when pursuits differ. The
danger to social position does not,
then, lie in the attitude of the pros
porous, but in the self-consciousness
of the worker. She finds it hard to
drop her sense of work, and she is apt
TO become sensitive, imaginative,
touchy. She mus learn to become
the woman first and the worker after
ward, and so avoid the danger of &c
centricity
1t Is The eccentrics whose social po-
sition is everywhere endangered, The
brave worker need fear nothing But
Ii behooyes her to remember many
things that she must keep in touch
with progress; that she must not ruth
lessly ignore the requirements OF
those among whom she has always
associated, that she must hold fast to
those things which tradition and the
laws of good taste and breeding have
beQueathed to her Then her posi-
tion, which she is right to consider, Is
not shaken, although for the time she
may drop out of the social swim =

Stevens Point.

Eau Claire, Wis, Dec. 1. Ice formed
a gorge at the mouth of the Chippewa
which caused the water 70 back up
rapidly Saturday night and Sunday
morning. On the low lands below
Durand the rise was so rapid that
many families had to fee in their night
robes to places OF safety. The suffer
ing among the women and children
was intense and many are reported
as having frozen their feet and limbs.
An engine and coach were sent out
from Durand Sunday and gathered up
about forty or fifty of these unfortu-
nate people, but so fast was the water
rising that the train had to go back to
Durand. 1t is thought that some peo-
pie were not reached by the rescuing
party and possibly may have persisted
The bottoms are all under water and
the stock and produce are complete
loss Dead domestic animals could be
seen all about the neighborhood frozen
stiff in the water. In most homes win
ter supplies were stored and these are
all lost.

Chippewa Falls, Wis, Dec Am
immense ice gorge, 30 feet high has
formed across the Chippewa river be-
low this city and farms and farm
buildings along the six miles of Chip
pewa Valley are under water The
flood is being added to hourly at the
rate of six inches, and before six
hours unless the gorge breaks, this
city will be partly under water. At
8 O'Clock last night the easements of
all the buildings on Spring street were
flooded and in some instances the
living in or occupying business houses
in the lower part of the city are hastily
removing their personal effects to
higher ground. A great deal of rail-
way property is threatened and many
highway and railway bridges will
be swept away Below the
immense gorge the river is practical
ly dry and when the jam breaks the
reservoir must carry destruction to the
valley below. Eau Claire has every
reason to feel apprehension, as its dan
ger begins when that Of Chippewa
Falls has passed. Between the hours
of and 10 yesterday The water rose
six feet, when there was a temporary
abatement. AT 6 last night there had
been an average rise during the day
OF six inches an hour The gorge is
five miles long.
At Irvine, the Wisconsin Central
railway is under water and the cleo
trio light plant is partly flooded so that
the town was in darkness last night.

Governor FioIeomb Says ~ WIN Roll 10
Great BIa Majority for the Boy
Orator of the Platte.

ST. JOSEPH, Mo-, July D.
Governor Holcomb of Nebraska
was in the city few hours to-
day, EN- route to his home in
Lincoln from the recent popu-
list convention at ST. Louis.
The governor expressed great
hope for the success of the Hon.
W. j. Bryan, the nominee of
the democrats for president.
He feels assured that his own
state, with its 10000 populists.
$1,000 democrats, with from
10000 to 1900 silver republi-
cans. will roll up a handsome
majority. AS TO the eomplica-
tions that may arise relative to
the nomination for vice-presi-
dent, he says that it is in the
hands of the executive commit
tee of the populist party, who
are level headed and eonserva-
tive men, and what action may
be taken by them will be of such
a character as to assure a vice
president whose views are in
accord with those of the great
standard-bearer for silver, and
who should, and will, receive
the support of all parties who
are opposed TO the financial
policy incorporated in the re-
publican platform and advocat-
ed by their speakers.
AS TO the disaffection some
what apparent in few hun
dred of the l, 400 delegates who
attended the St. Louis conven-
ton, he does not think it poSsi-
bly, could amount to anything
of serious nature. and all true
populists who have the welfare
of their common country at
heart will wheel into line.
