WOMEN IN UNIVERSITY LIFE.

One of the reports of the Education
al Department in England has a spe-
cial table devoted to the subject OF the
admission of women to university lie.
Inquiries have been instituted as to
the arrangements made for women
students at 1862 of the universities OF
the civilized nations in both heml-
spheres. and 1870 replies were received.
The questions asked were: Are wo-
men admitted as members of the uni
yersities? Are they admitted on the
same terms as men? Are they ad-
mitted to lectures? Are they admitted
to examination? Are they eligible for
university degrees?
1t is significant of the advanced lib
eralism of Scotland and Wales that
their FIVE universities have no answer
but Eyes" to make, save as regards
certain courses in the north country.
Australia. India and Canada also an
swer "Yes," and Toronto proudly
says: mo advantage is granted to men
which is not open to women" New
Zealand gives practically the same re-
ply. France, Belgium, Holland, Den
mark, Norway, Sweden, Switzerland,
Greece, Italy and, of course, the United
States have almost unbroken columns
of Eyes" The great sinners of Europe
are Germany, Austria and Russia.

THE WEDDING KERCHIEF IN THE
TYROL.

When a young maiden is about to
be married in the Welsch Tyrol, I'M
mediately before she steps across the
threshold of her old home, on her way
to the church, her mother solemnly
gives her new pocket-handkerchief.
The bride holds 1t in her hand through
out the marriage ceremony, using 1t
to wipe away her tears. AS soon as
the marriage festivities are over, the
young wife lays the handkerchief
aside in her linen closet, and there IT
remains as long as she lives. Moth
ing could induce Tyrolese wife 10
use this sacred handkerchief. 1t may
be half a century, or longer, before 1t
is taken from its place to fulfil the sec
ond and last part of its mission. When
the wife dies, perhaps as a gray old
grandmother, the loving hands or the
next of kin place the bridal handker-
chief over the face of the dead, and
It is buried with her in the grave.

Uncle Leander had not replied,
but Martie declared there was no dan
ger of his missing a chance to get a
good meal for nothing. AS these
guests must come by train, they would
remain all night. So Martie and her
mistress labored on, and the pantry
shelves groaned under the weight Of
delicacies.
1t was not until the Monday morn
ing before Thanksgiving that the first
cloud appeared upon the sky of Mrs.
Sarah. Two letters came; one from
Cousin Cyrilla, saying that her father
was too i'll to attempt even the short
Journey, the other from Ben Burton.
He wrote that since accepting his
cousins invitation his wife and him
self had been hidden to a dinner given
by an uncle of Mrs. Burton's.
"And as he is a man of wealth and
position" the letter ran, "one whose
friendship will be of real value to me,
you will readily understand that
must withdraw the acceptance prev
iously sent you"
"Glad to hear It," Martie exclaimed
crisply, when Mrs. Thomson had fin-
ished reading the letter aloud. III
that's all Ben Burton cares for us, let
him spend his Thanksgivin' with his
wife's rich relations. We can leave
one leaf out of the table, that's ALL"
BY Tuesday evening the house was
in perfect order The massive family
silver had been duly polished and the
rose wreathed china that had been
Sarahs mothers, as well as the quaint
old blue delft of the Thomsons, had
been taken down and washed. Martit
departed at an early hour that same
evening for choir practice, leaving
Mrs. Thomson to spend the time alone
fully two hours after her usual time

self. Think of our sitting down to
those two enormous turkeys, to say
nothing of all the rest. It's too ridic-
ulous, or would be IL 1t was anybody
else. It may be that something will
happen to keep David at home. Oh,
but that would be worse than to have
him comet"
She went slowly back to the house.
Here the sight of her waiting dinner
was too much, and sitting down on the
roomy lounge, she buried her face in a
cushion and let the tears have their
way.
"why, Sarah. what's the matter?" a
voice asked a few minutes later.
She glanced up to find David Merch-
ant at her side He had raped twice
and then, as the hall door stood open,
had entered.
At the sight of him, her tears flowed
afresh, while his distress increased.
What is 1t, SARAH" he again in
CURED, taking one OF her hands In
both his own sinewy ones. "Tell me
what is troubling you. and where are
all the folks?"
"Oh, David" she cried Historically,
there are two turkeys, and food
enough for regiment, but there is no
one but you. l would be all alone
were 1t not for you"
Mr. Merchants eyes mirrored some
thing OF the pleasure that filed his
heart. TELL me all about II" he said,
soothingly.
She did so. When she had finished
the tears still stood on her lashes, but
smile was lurking around the COR
ners of her mouth.

1t Is the custom to allow the sena-
tors and congressman to name the
federal officers of their state. This is
being done by the Oregon "delega-
tIon." Just why thCs5 fe " who are
honored with the highest Offices and
the emoluments thereof should have
these further great powers is one Of
the absurdities OF so-called peoples
government. Certainly the plan has
not worked successfully in Oregon,
where federal politics has been more
rotten than state politics. That the
peoples representatives should put
their personal friends In Office leads to
the further corrupting influence, that
they will proceed to "take care" Of
those friends ii anyone attempts to
cut down their salaries or fees. The
only instance OF retrenchment
measure passing congress for many
years was the bill of Congressman
Updergraff, of Iowa. to put federal
marsnals and district attorneys on
salary instead of fees. All other leg
islation, If we mistake not. has been
to increase salaries and fees.

The assumptions Of the German
Emperor, that he governs by divine
right, and is responsible to God alone
for the manner in which he performs
his official duty, are not less ridicu-
lous than the pretentions Of many So
called Americans holding Office under
a government of the people The as
sumption OF ar official that he is re-
sponsible to his party only, and the
whole theory of loyalty to machine
politics, is only another form of at
tempting to substitute higher power
and cheat the people out of what be-
longs TO them-devotion to their lu-
terests only. The genius Of the ma
chine is worshipped now instead OF
the old divine right of kings. The
irresponsible boss, like the king of
old, can do no wrong in the eyes of
his party. What the party does is sa-
cred and must not be criticised. We
have hundreds OF German emperors
instead of one.

This last statement is confirmed by
the reception that his magesty met
with at Warsaw. There the Poles
seemed to have given him a most
hearty welcome, and in political cir
cles much Importance is attached to
his majesty's visit to Poland.
Between the intervals Of the uni
versal shouting for peace, the heads
of the various nations have been busy
perfecting the effectiveness of their
armies by autumn maneuvers. Em-
peror William paraded army corps at
Coblentz, Wurzburg and Nuremburg,
upon the occasion Of his visit to those
cities, and at Homburg, his majesty
paraded four army corps before HIM

of Italy, The king Of Saxony. the king
of Wurtemburg, the prince regent Of
Bavaria. the Grand Duke Nicholas Of
Russia, .the Duke and Duchess of
CJnnaught, the Duke of Cambridge,
Prince and Princess Henry of Prussia
and many other notables.
The army maneuvers began Monday
when 143 battalions of infantry, 1l5
squadrons of cavalry, III batteries of
artillery, 81 technical companies, and
three companies of military aeronauts
were divided into armies of Prussians
and Bayarlans. The Germans have
moblized larger force than they had
on the French border in 1870. within
ten days uf the declaration of war, and
the troops are in the very positions
they would occupy if modified for war
today.

The speecnes of the German EN-

nauseating because of their boastful-

sion. The campaign of culture that

announced "vice regency of heaven" "
The German press rldicules his insane
proposition that lie is responsible to

trace of Nero's assumption of mas
terry OF the arts, in the pretensiOns Of
the German emperor to be connois
seur as performer of music, painting,
poetry and architecture. There is
certainly more satisfaction in Repub-

DR.. Georg Ebers mot George) is the
most noted of German novelists since
the days of Berthold Auerbach, whose
ION the Heights" touches the high
water mark CT modern fiction. His
romances in Egyptology were con-
cluded with bis cleopatra, pub
lished in 1895. In 1896 his notable
autobiography, in which he disclosed
that he was student under Froebel,
was published, now through the en-
terprise of his American publishers,
the d. Appelton Company, barbara
Blomberg," new historical novel
by this author is translated by Mary
j. Stafford, and published in two pa
per volumes. The story is founded
upon the episode Of Emperor Charles
VS. ENHANCEMENT with a beautiful,
well-born young woman of RatisboD,
while he was in Batavia in 1916. Bar
bara Blom berg figures chiefly in the
history as being the mother of the
gallant but ill-fated Don John of
Austria, of whom his half-brOther,
Phillip II, was so jealous, and finally
condemned to the unc0ngenial mission
in the Netherlands that cost the
young soldiers his life. Ebers' story
only introduces Don John in its later
pages. but elaborates the characters
of Barbara and Charles V, their meet
ings. MISUNDERSTANDING, and the
causes that finally separated them.
Charles already old, was never man
to put personal indulgence before
statecraft, and when he found the fair
Barbara was demanding more of his
time and consideration than he was
willing to spare from his political aud
military schemes he quietly refused to
see her. or the authentic incident of
Chs rles' Offering to educate the boy if
the secret of his birth were kept by
his mother, and il she entirely gave
him up. Ebers has made much. The
struggle between mother love and
for her son is one of the
chief episodes of the story. She gives
up her child, later marries and has
two other sons; but Ebers represents
her always as living in the memory of
her short triumph, and in thoughts Of
the son of the emperor, whom she had
borne. The careful historical study
that characterizes all of this authors
books is noticeable in the studious
way the details of this noYel are
worked out.
We do not know of more wholesome
and conscientious fiction or historical
romance than that done by DR.. Ebers,
whose works can be had in German or
English. The German editions are
supplied by e. Steiger & Co., New
York.

A Sparring Exhibition.


Two licensed sparring exhibitions,
subject to police restrictions, took
place in the State street armory last
night. About one hundred of the
local sporting fraternity witnessed
the events which were entirely devoid
of genuine interest. The first event
was a seven-round bout between Kid
Henderson, of San Francisco, and a
fellow-member of the roped arena,
travelling under the assumed name of
FitZsimmOns, also of the Golden Gate
city. This event proved more of an
exhibition of the terpsichorean art
than that of the "manly art of self
defense The next event was of a
more lively and interesting nature.
1t was four-round go between Fitz-
simmons, of San Francisco, and jim
Driver, the local blacksmith. Honors
were about evenly divided but neither
of the evenJs called forth any decision
from the referee.
