REFUSES A CONGRESSIONAL JOB.

Congressman Bailey of Texas,
who was nominated for re.elec-
tion, has issued an address to his
constituency declining to run again
for the Office, giving as his reason
that Bryan and he do not agree on
measures of governmental import.
He says:
''To those who may think it incon-
siStent for me to refuse a nominal
tiOn to congress on account of my
disagreement with Mr.. Bryan and
still advocate his election, | desire
to say that l support him for three
reasons. In the first place, he was
nominated by convention of which
| was a member, and | would feel
bound in honor to support him. In
the second place, he was nominated
by a Democratic convention, and as
a loyal Democrat l feel it my duty
to abide by the action of my party;
and in the third place, if neither of
my other reasons existed, | should
support him because | believe that
his election will be infinitely better
for the people than the election of
Mr. Mckinley
Mr.. Bailey further says in his
card of withdrawal.
"Mr. Bryan is not only one of the
most brilliant men in this or any
other country, hut he is man of
exalted character and is sincerely
devoted to the welfare of the mass
es. But over and above all this, his
selection will insure a wise settle
ment of the coinage question,
which must be settled before this
country will ever enjoy another era
of anything like general prosperity.
If | had no party ties and felt no
party obligations, as between Mr.,
Bryan and Mr.. Mckinley, I would
unhesitatingly support Mr.. Bryan,
with whom | cordially agree on
many questions, as against Mr.. Nc
Kinley, with whom l do not agree
on any question, and if my advice
would influence any one who enter"
tains. the same opinions that do, |
would impress upon him that in this
contest it is his duty to contribute
all he can to the success of the
Democratic party"
Mr.. Bailey is a brilliant young man
and has made a name in the ma
tional congress, and this step of his
is to be regretted, for we need
young blood in our councils, and we
hope bis Texas constituency will
not let him come down from his
congressional perch SO easily.

One solitary human hair seems very
small thing. but it is the most important
part of an important machine in the
capitol at Washington. This machine
warns and ventilates the house. the
senate and the various committee rooms
and runs several electric dynamos. Its
most curious feature is the appliance
for telling the proper temperature of the
air in the building. A dial arranged
like clock marks different degrees
from to 100. Zero means perfectly dry
air, 100 saturated air. e.. air carry
ing all the moisture it will hold.
Human hair absorbs moisture like d
rope. becoming shorter when it is wet,
in the same way. The hair here is six
inches long. The difference in length
between it when wet and when dry
stands for the 100 degrees Of moisture
on the dial, and as the moisture Of the
hair varies the pointer on the dial moves.
According to the necessity, more steam
is thrown in or steam is allowed to es-
cape, the atmosphere being in this way
regulated and kept at a healthy point

Dangers of the Com partment Car.

The beauties of the compartment car
plan are illustrated by the following oc-
currence to an excursion train in
France: AFTER passing Amiens it was
noticed that the roof of a compartment
containing nine passengers was on fire.
The passengers tried to draw the atten
tion of the driver and guard, but found
the communication cord broken, and as
the flames were every second obtaining
a firmer hold of the woodwork one of
the occupants, at the risk of his life,
went along the footboards to the guard S
van, only TO learn that the latter had
no means of communication with the
engine driver Meanwhile, as the train
rushed ON, the flames increased in vol
ume, and the passengers, in a panic,
fired revolver shots TO attract the atten-
tion of those on the engine. Even this
failed, however, and the condition of af
fairs was becoming most serious, when
the guard succeeded in scrambling across
the carriages to the engine. The train
was stopped and the fire eventually sub
dued "

Mrs. Booth and the New Woman.

Mrs. Ballington Booth has been re-
peating, in a lecture on "The New
Woman. great deal of that adverse
criticism of which we have heard SO
much from great variety of sources
Inasmuch as the career of Mrs. Booth
illustrates a type of woman utterly un-
known to previous generation, it
would not be unfair to argue that in her
wholesale denunciation of the new
woman she might unconsciously be
framing an argument against the Saliva
tion lassies, of whom she is the leader.
But it is the prerogative of woman to
be inconsistent, and when we find one
of the very newest of new women in
weighing against the new woman we
can afford TO treat it as case in which
the permanent instinct of the sex has
asserted itself as superior to the influ
ence of an impulse
1t may, however, be useful as we'll as
timely 60 call attention to one important
respect in which the new woman diff
fers from her censors. A story is told
of the Princess of Wales that in answer
10 the question as to what was her
favorite occupation she replied that her
favorite occupation was "minding her
own business. This story seems appli-
cable TO the present situation.
In contrast with the vast and varied
volume of advice, reproof criticism.
censure. scorn and downright abuse
poured out against the new woman we
do not recall an instance in which the
objects of this attention have retaliated
in kind. The new woman does not seem
to be addicted to the habit of carping or
nagging at her elder sisters. She seems
rather TO resemble the Princess of Wales
in indulginR in her favorite occupation
of "minding her own business" and
really her selection is one which might
be commended to her censors. New

A Beautiful Wedding Present.

One of this seasons brides received
on her wedding day the completion of a
set of dinner napery that began to be
hers some time ago. On her sixth birth
day an aunt, whose hobby was table
linen, gave her a beautiful dinner nap
kin. 1t was of heavy fine satin damask,
as handsome as could be got, and the
initial of her surname was embroidered
upon it. Each succeeding birthday
brought her a corresponding one, till the
dozen was completed two years ago.

the CLOTH, said the aunt, and she got it,,

It was eight or nine years ago, and
the cars containing the animals were
unloaded near the Canal street freight
house. The animals were guided across
Exchange place by attendants. and the
elephants went along very peaceably.
They hadn't gone q great distance,
however. when Jumbo's back began to
itch. The big elephant tried to reach
the place with his trunk, but didn Z
manage to. So he stepped from the line
and looked for q suitable place against
which to rub his back. There were two
objects In sight--a big Flagstaff and
Paddy Burns shanty. which stood in
the rear of the Three Ones fire station.
Jumbo picked out the shanty, and by
the time he bad relieved his feelings
things inside were upside down, and the
building had nearly been removed from
its foundations and showed into the wa
ter.
Paddy Burns looked for lawyer, and
found the late Ambrose E. West. The
attorney issued writ and gave 1t to a
deputy sheriff, with instructions to at
tach Jumbo The officer presented the
paper to the treasurer Of the circus and
then took up a position near the ele-
phant. but out of the reach of the swing

settled, but the officer said afterward
that If the animal had decided to walk
away he hadn t any idea how he could

Three DIS Club.

A woman's club has recently been or
ganized that will delight the heart OF ev-
cry man in Christendom. 1t will be Of
greater benefit to him than six months
in a rest cure or trip across the Allan
tic. Though countless women s clubs are
being formed throughout the country for
the discussion of interesting subjects, it
is only recently that there has sprung
into existence what is known as the
Three DIS club, to which ones eligi-
bility is the negative qualification of
possessing the ability to suppress all
mention of those questionable and bor-
ing subjects which come under the
fourth letter Of the alphabet-namely,
domestic affairs, disease and dress.

no clever new book, no delightful col

only fair and just to appreciative women
that those who will confine their inter
ests and conversati on to the topics
which are tacitly tabooed by the well
bred should be blackballed in clubs

to resign, and she and her husband will

When the far west is treating it's
women preachers in this fashion, it is
pleasing to see how the extreme east
acts. Here in New York is Mrs. Au-
gusta Stetson, the regularly ordained
pastor of the Christian Science church,
whose influence is widely felt. Her con-
gregation is composed of men and wom-
en- of culture and intellect, and there
has never been shown during the eight
years of her ministry any disposition to
oust her because of her sex. On the con-
trary, the constant increase in her infu-
ence and the scope of her work is re-
markable When she began TO preach,
her congregation numbered but g per-
sons, and her pulpit was an inverted dry
goods box. Now she has always as many
as 500 in her congregation. and it is
still growing.
Another New York woman preacher
is Mrs. Laura Lathrop, also Christian
Scientist. The Rev Phebe G.. Hama
ford, too, belongs TO New York now
and has served at various places in the

Boston has numerous women preach
ers, mainly of the Universalist and
Unitarian churches. Among them are
the Rev. Mary Whitney, who has charge
of Unitarian church at Somerville
the Rev. Mary Eddy and the Rev. Mabel

Women and PHILOSOPHERS.

losophy of the Unconscious" has been of
late years the leading fad of metaphys-
les, has been delivering himself of his
opinion o;; the subject Of the new wn-
man in way that is in these days. to
say the least, decidedly daring. He be-
lieves that the chief cause of our pres
ent day evils is the higher education of
women, and he would put an end to
this system with one stroke and set our
daughters back to the level of education
with which our grandmothers were sat
isfied. +" He has no use whatever for
training which renders woman too re-
fined and cultured to perform "her nat

that "maidens cannot learn too early"
what is their proper task.
In these opinions the good German
metaphysician but repeats the ideas for
Schopenhauer, Spencer, and, in fact,
those of about all the philosophers of the
world who have been anything but COM
plimentary to feminine aspirations in
the way of "higher culture. " Now let
the philosophers beware. For ages they
have constructed the theories and the
ologies of the world, and mankind has
