By virtue of the Torrens land transfer

of Chicago and an accommodating money
lender, Mrs. f. E. Hobbs was enabled
to break the record for rapid transac.

application for certificate of land title

Stand By the National Organiser.

Mrs. Carrie Chapman Gait, chairman
of the organization committee of the
National American Woman Suffrage as
ISOLATION. has telegraphed her refusal to
go to assist, for two months, in the
splendid campaign now being made in
California, where her voice is much de-
sired. She was offered 5000 per month
and expenses, was promised a royal good
time and strongly urged. She wanted to
so, but she relinquished it all to plod at
the office of the chairman of the organi-
cation committee, performing that hard,
irksome work with its heavy response
bilities, its penalty of blame and its
wearing anxieties. For her service there
is no salary.
She does all this because she feels
that the strengthening of the association
and the extension of its work depend
upon just such labor as she is doing.
Our people do not know fully the
service rendered and the sacrifices made
by Mrs. Gait. Let them consider them,
and show their appreciation by coming
to her aid in every possible way, es
pecially in the matter of raising fund:

Women Police Matrons.

One of the stock arguments against
equal suffrage has been that if women
vote some women must hold office
But it is becoming more and more evil
dent that the good of the community
requires some women to hold Office. The
Baltimore Sun, the conservative mouth
piece of a highly conservative city, says
editorially:
"Mayor Hooper's suggestion that
there should be woman Oh the board
OF visitors to the almshouse and one on
the Jail beard is excellent and should
be carried out. Both institutions would
be improved by having a woman among
those authorized to scrutinize their man.
a2ement and to look after the moral and
physical condition and treatment of the
female inmates. Matrons at the police
stations were regarded as doubtful in
novatlon when first suggested, but the
wisdom and humanity of the policy were
speedily demonstrated. Whether wom-
ans realm properly extends to political
affairs is question still very much in
dispute. But there can be no question
that 1t is not bounded by the confines OF
the household, and that she is not only
valuable but a necessary auxiliary III
public work such as that proposed by the
mayor. There is not only room but an
imperative demand for her in this field,
and the sooner she is generally employ
ed III 1t the better it will be for civil
cation and the world"

Combinations of Women.

We do not know how any one can
speak about women as The North Amer
ican Review speaks in the words fol-
lowing:
''It is doubtful if women under any
tain qualities are necessary for combi-
nation, and these qualities are repre-
scented in women by their opposites.
Surely it is folly to propagate a theory
Of this kind as against the experiences
that are everywhere made manifest in
life. The combination of women is one
of the most remarkable features of the
history of the times. Hundreds Of
thousands of them are combined in the
Women's Christian Temperance union
and in the Young Women's Christian
association. There are tens of thousands
Of them organized III woman suffrage
societies. There are scientific, artistic,
legal. literary, social, musical and re-
form organizations of women. There are
trades unions of women.
An entire column. or more yet, Of our
paper would be taken up with a list of
the definitely constituted combinations
of women that exist in this city alone
Possibly there may be over IA million
members of women's societies in the
United States. And yet the writer in
The North American Review says that
cit is doubtful if women under any cir
cumstances can combine at all" Why,
dear sir, you are all wrong, as you
ought to know by this time.
The theory of The North American
Reviews theorist is that women do not
possess certain qualities which are need
ed for combination. OF course it is a
man theorist, and q poorly informed
one, too, who propounds this amazing
error. He cannot be an investigator.
He has failed to get ut the phenomena
which form the best foundation for
solid and enduring theories. Let him
pursue knowledge hereafter under the
direction of Mrs. Stanton, Miss Anthony
and their associates.
We will speak here Of yet another
thing, and it is that the women's com.
binatiors seem to get along better than
the mems. We hardly ever hear of a
quarrel in any Of them; we never hear
of an outbreak. Now, then, make 9

Girls In Cuba,

A Cuban girls life is very restricted,
and she is never allowed to go out alone
or receive callers of the other sex, ex-
cept in the presence of her chaperon or
some member of her family. If during
her childhood she attends day school,
a maid or some family servant takes
her there every day, and she cannot go
as short distance as across the street
unaccompanied.
In somo instances Spanish customs
are absurd and homogeneous. Every well
fitted establishment in Cuba is provided
with concierge, to guard the entrance
and admit callers. This man, usually
an ignorant peasant, sometimes escorts
the young ladies of the family he is
serving, and that is considered perfectly
proper, whereas it would not be proper
for them to go out attended by a gentle
man, even if he were old enough to be
their father, and an old friend of The
family as well.
Of late years, however, the frequent
intercourse between Cuba and the Unit
ed States has somewhat modified the
customs. For instance, two ladies can
now go out alone in Havana in the day
time, which would have been considered
an unheard of and almost shocking pro-
ceeding few years ago.
The social pastimes a girl enjoys in
Cuba consist OF balls, parties, concerts,
receptions, the theater and opera and
picnics, for Cubans have adopted this
American diversion, although in a mod.
flied form, to suit the requirements OF
Cuban etiquette.

woman's DISADVANTAGES,

The obstacles in the way of a woman
fitting herself for self support were re-
Gently illustrated by the case of a young
girl who wished to go to college. She
and her twin brother had been brought
up by an aunt in strained circumstances,
and the only way to obtain college
education seemed to be to borrow
money. Both had inherited exceptional
intellects and both desired to enter pro-
LESSONS. 1t would have taken years to
earn the money for college course,
though with the help of the higher
education the sum borrowed could in
all probability be soon paid. Of the two
the girl had the more brilliant mind,
yet her brother had no trouble in Dor
rowing the required sum, while to her
surprise and chagrin nobody would lend
her a cent.
The friends to whom she applied either
took the ground that college education
was for n girl in her position as unwar-
ranted luxury as diamonds or a maid,
or they said in effect: lyon are toe
charming girl not to marry, and you
will never need college degree. 1,

we could not have that on our con.

But" demurely urged the girl
"suppose ! should prepare to marry by

shouldn't be married after all?" She
succeeded at last in finding the helm Sht
