WOMEN To BE PROUD OF.

The two American women who have
received the degree of Doctor of
Philosophy from German universities
this year are Miss Georgiana Lee Nor
rell and Miss Alice Luce. Miss Nor
rell is graduate of Vassar, and be-
fore going to Germany was teacher
in the Girls High School in Brooklyn.
She was the first woman at Heidelberg
admitted to the English lectures, and
she won her degree by translating q
poem from the Auchinleck manuscript
in Edinburgh from Middle English
-iuto German aud editing it. Miss
Luce is the fourth woman upon whom
Gottingen has bestowed doctors de.
gree. Wellesley was her alma mater,

SHALL WE WEAR EARRINGS AaA1NP


The statement that earrings are
again coming into fashion has brought
the subject of piercing tho ears to the
attention of physicians, and has
evoked good deal of comment on the
future of this practice. For reasons
too scientific for ordinary discussion,
so the doctors tell us, the conditions
of the system of the human family has
grown moro susceptible within the
past few leaves, and numbers OF cases
of blood-poisoning from piercing the
ears have been reported. Whether
this will restrain anybody from wear
ing earrings is question that it is
hardly worth while to discuss. Battle
and murder and sudden death have no
terrors for people who desire to follow
the fashion.
What pity it is that some one could
not set the fashion for goodness, clean
illness, amiability and health, and have
it followed with such eagerness as that
bestowed upon some senseless and silly
fad 1t would be of infinite advan.
tage to the human family if such could
be the case.
As to the subject of earrings, they
are positively unbecoming to the ma
jority of women. Besides, the ears
get drawn out of shape and their SYM
metry is entirely destroyed. This,
however, counts for nothing, and it is
too much to expect that any impress
sion will be made on the rank and file
of women by the statement that they
may lose their lives from blood poison
ing if they set ont to follow this re-
vived fad. New York Ledger.

for the day, and were waiting their
turns to cross the branch of the river
on the tiat-bottomed ferry boat whichl'
they had provided for this purpose.
When the ferry boat reached the dock
the last time, at least twenty men
crowded upon it. The boat, which ia
about thirty feet long and not more
than four feet wide, would safely carry
not more than a dozen persons. The
stream is not wide, however and the
hurrying ore handlers had no thought
of danger. The boat was pushed from
the shore and was being propelled
across the stream. When it was about
half way over
THE FRAIL CRAFT WAS SWAMPED
by the wash from a passing steamer
and 1t began to sink. Then, as the men
rushed to the side it turned over. All
the occupants were thrown into the
alarmed at the capsizing of the little
craft, at once threw life preservers and
plankS to the unfortunate men. A few
managed to swim ashore, while one or
two were picked up by d tug. The first
report of the accident placed the num-
Der of dead at twenty-five, but that
proved to have been an exaggeration.
The life-saving crew, whose station is
near the scene of the accident, was
summoned, and the work of recovery
was begun. Within half an hour seven
corpses had been laid side by side upon
the dock, but the life savers continued
their work and seven more dead bodies
were recovered.
Richard MastOn, chief engineer of the
steamer Bessemer, which the men had
been unloading, was on the ferry when
it overturned. He chung to the boat
and was rescued.
Two boys, Bernard Patton, aged Is,
and Martin Corrigan, aged II, were in
the boat and both saved their lives by
swimming.
After fourteen bodies had been recov-
cred they were taken to the morgue.

There were many pathetic scenes
about the morgue while relatives of the

have been recovered, though it is pos

added to the list. Twelve of the four
teen victims leave families who were

TOPEKA, Kan, July 16.-At the
C. Little of Abilene was chosen tenn
porary chairman. He said:
Columbia has reached her majority.
We now propose that she conduct her
own affairs without dictation from for
eign fnanciers or suggestions from
foreign parliaments. We intend to en-
force every word, every clause, every
sentence of the Declaration of indie
pendence, which Thomas Jefferson
wrote There are but two sides to
this fight and we shall be on one side
only. -Four years ago the Republican
convention said the American people
by interest and tradition favored BIZ
metallism and the use of both gold and
silver as standard money. At ST Louis
they abandoned the traditions and de-
serted the interests of the American
people and declared in favor of main
tanning a gold standard. They put
William Mckinley on the platform, but
they put Grover Cleveland in the plat
form.
The st. Louis convention may have
changed its mind, but the American
people have not altered their opinions.
They still demand bimetallism. which
means the admission of gold and silver
to the minis on equal terms and the
use of both as redemption money.
America shall no longer, hat in hand,
go begging for gold to discharge obli-
cations payable in silver, of which she
has ample supply in easy reach.
THE only honest dollar is the dollar
of the contract"

committees reported and sixty dele

bers besides Judge Ray of Wellington,

platform was adopted and an organ
lied effort will be made to unite all
friends of silver. 1t was decided that
should the outcome of the st. Louis
convention seem to demand it, a full
state ticket will be named.
Ex-Governor st. John on a short no
tice addressed an audience of 1000 in

ST. LOUIS, July 16.-Prominent gold
standard Democrats of this city today
took the first step toward repudiating
the ticket and platform of the Chicago
convention. They decided to issue a.
call for a convention of the gold stand
ard Democracy of Missouri to deter
mine whether or not a third ticket shall
be put in the field, whether the fight
for gold shall extend into the congress

shall come out openly for Mckinley

onel James o. Broadhead, ex-minister
to Switzerland under Cleveland, pre-
sided.
A resolution was adopted providing

call for convention of gold standard
Democrats. Circulars will be sent all
over the country to the gold standard
leaders asking them to cooperate or be
present at the meeting.
