The New Woman and the Old.

John Temple Graves, editor of the
Atlanta Journal, in lecture on "The
New Woman and the Old, says:
"It is no longer fashionable to go in
to ecstasies over woman. She is no Ion
ger sentiment. She is a problem, and
it is our unhappy mission to grapple
with her or surrender, as have done.
The issues she brings are vital. Intheir
scope, in their Importance, in their far
reaching effects, involving as they do q
full half Of the human race and the
destiny of the whole race, woman's
struggle for her rights and nobler stand
ards makes the foremost problem of this
world. After 6, 900 years of subordina-
ton woman is at last in rebellion
against the things that be. For 60 CEN
turtles she has been content to crown the
victor in the lists of human endeavor.
Now she is herself in the lists for the
crown and the laurels of strife. We in
the exigency of this material age repeat
the cry, Room for the 1adyp And we
have made room for her, or, rather, she
has made it for herself. In every forum
Of discussion and in every field of strife,
in the professions and in the trades in
the ranks of the workers everywhere,
she has won her way and held her own.
Her triumphs over heather prejudice
have been magnificent. But she has not
yet released the sword of progress. She
is marching ON to new fields and wider
triumphs.
"First, then, woman has won her
way to the schools of the country. She
has converted the prejudice which has
shut her ont from her education. Thanks
to her own persistent courage and against
the persistent protest of narrowness and
bigotry, she has ennobled and glorified
that privilege of intelligence. For !, 900
years men have said that woman had no
brain for a higher development and that
her limited capacities were safer within
the limited sphere to which mans stand
ards held her. She has nobly demon
strated her capacity for higher educa-
ton. Then in the wider fields of coedu-
cation, side by side in lessons with men,
she has not lost in her separate sphere,
and she has shared higher honors in
mighty colleges The last barrier to her
mental kingdom has been won. The
gates have been opened everywhere, and
with courage, energy and splendid pur-
pose her brains are putting into peril
the intellectual superiority of the other

How co Pasteurize MILK.

A milkman who has to do his own
milk pasteurizing puts the milk into
any ordinary bottles, nearly filling
them and placing stopper of cotton
batting in the neck. He then sets them
ON thin strip of wood or inverted pie
plate which has been perforated in
tin basin or pail of water and heats
them until the milk shows a tempera-
ture of nearly 100 degrees The bottles
are then stoppered and removed to the
back of the stove for 30 minutes, during
which they should be covered with a
dry towel or the pail cover. At the end
of that time the bottles are removed
and set in warm water, which is gradu-
ally cooled and then iced. Many people
use tin vessels, the advantage of which
is that they may be plunged from hot
water to ice water without danger OF
breakage and with possible benefit to
the milk The best form is double
boiler oatmeal cooker. The inner tin
contains the milk and the outer the
water, which can be easily brought to
boiling point For killing the bacillus
of tuberculosis a minimum tempera-
ture Of 149 degrees should be main
tanned for Is minutes, of lao degrees
for half an hour. If the milk has been
obtained from a herd known to be free

this trouble, a pasteurizing temperature
of from 1873 degrees to 140 degrees.

BALTIMORE, April 22.-rhe directors OF tho
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company will meet
tomorrow to take action on the semi-annual
dividend on the stock of tho Washington
branch. and they will vote to pass it. The
meeting was to have been held yesterday. but
was postponed owing to the inability of the New
York members Of the board to be present. Tho
roads capital stock is $1,65O 900, OF which the
State Of Maryland owns $55O.OOC. and hereto.
forc dividend OF 10 per cent annually has
been paid on it The payments have been made
semi-annually on May and Nov. /. The divi-
dend due last November was paid. but there is
some doubt as to the payment due next month.
II is said that the line has not earned the divi-
dend. and as the parent corporation which guar
antccd its payment is in the hands of the court,

The receivers OF the Baltimore and Ohio Rail-
road Company have placed an order with the
Pullman company for the construction OF 5000
freight cars. The Pullman company is already
building the cars and will deliver some OF them
May l. The remainder will be delivered as
soon rs possible. Tho total cost will be about
Sl,50OOOO. II Is not known how payment will
be made. but il is presumed that after all the
cars have been delivered the receivers will apply
TO the United States Court for authority to issue
moro certificates. and in the event of the appli-
cation being granted the proceeds Of these will
be used for that purpose. There is talk OF op-
posing the receivers should they ask for such
authority, though nothing definite has been de-
cided in that direction.

The spaniards Beaten in Two Important En-
GaGements by the insurgents.
TACOMA, Wash, April 22.-News was received
to-day from Hong Kong which absolutely con-
tradicts the stories from Madrid that the
Philippine rebellion is practically stamped out.
On the contrary. two important engagements
have bcen fought, In both OF which the insur-
Rents were victorious. On March 30 a large
column of Spanish troops. under com.
mand of Salcedo, met with serious reverses
at the insurgents hands. Salcedo with 1000
men had been ordered to attack San Nicolas and
dislodge the enemy. He was misled by guides.
who took his force through cross road. on
both sides OF which was strong force Of insur-
gent troops in ambush. The Spanish force was
badly defeated and forced to retreat In confu-
sion upon Almansa. The insurgent force is re-
ported to have been good and strong.
1t was hand to hand conflict, and, being at
tackled unawares. the royalist troops had no
possibility Of SUCCESS. They lost over 200 men
and the insurgents only 80.
When the steamer Victoria sailed from Hong
Kong the news had just arrived that the Spanish
troops had attacked the insurgents near tho
river Zapote.
They were repulsed with heavy loss. The defeat
the insurgents had few firearms and were obliged
TO fight at close range with knives. This battle
was fought In the deep mud. the Zapote River

INDIANAPOLIS, April 22.-The State to-day
brought suit against the Vandalia Railroad
Company to collect So, ,0Oo, 900, alleged to be duo
under the terms of n special charter issued to
the company in 1s47, in which it was provided
that the road should pay to the State, for tho
benefit OF the school fund, all its earnings In ex
cess OF 10 per cent. over cost OF operation and
construction. The complaint says that the COM
pany has concealed its earnings through false
reports OF its earnings and expenses. and has in
vested the surplus in United States bonds. In
bonds Of other companies, and in tho purchase
Of the stock Of individuals.
1t Is then averred that the company corrupted
legislators to prevent an investigation into tho
affairs Of tho corporation, and by these means
has postponed from time to time settlement
with the State In 1881 it reincorporated under
the General Railroad law thus attempting to
complicate the situation and defraud the State.
IL s averred further that at the various sessions
OF the General Assembly of the State, notably
those Of 1865, 1867, 1869, and 1871 and there
after. when committees were appointed by the
General Assembly to investigate the affairs of
the company, and when measures were under
consideration looking to the investigation of tho
company. 1t corruptiy expended large sums on
the members OF the committees OF the General
Assembly to influence their action and prevent
reports from being made as to the true condition
OF the affairs Of the road.
During the session of the General Assembly in
1867 IL is avcrred that while committee of the
Senate and House of Representatives was at
Terre Hautc to investigate the company. officers
and agents of the company furnished tho com.
mittec members free transportation. paid their
bills while at Terre Haute. furnished them with
intoxicating liquors. and got them into such n

here, and the Senator's managers have already
begun active preparations for 1t. Letters have
been sent out recently to all the recognized Han
Mates Of any prominence in the city assigning
them their posts in tho coming battle. Across
each one of these letters are the words: For
Senator. NJ. A. Hanna"
The candidacy OF Congressman Burton for
United States Senator is great bugbear to the
Hanna people. They do not know how much
Significance to give Mr. Burton's candidacy.
and some of them who under equal obliga-
tons to Burton and Hanna are in state Of un-
certainty.
Mr.. Burton does not like Mr.. Hanna. 1t will
be remembered that Mr. Hanna tried to beat
Burton with Senator Avery for the Congress-
nomination. After Burton had been nominated
Mr.. Hanna sent him his personal check for
81 900 as n sort of peace Offering. to be applied
toward Burton's campaign expenses. Burton
returned the check.
The preliminary skirmish for the Hanna cam
pagn took place this afternoon. About 800
business men held meeting at the Hollenden

olutions were passed recommending Mr.. Hanna
for United States Senator and the election Of a

of the resolutions will be forwarded to Senator

WESTERN RAILROAD MEETING.
Tho Proposed Agreement Practically Approved
by the Passenger Agents.

by the Passenger Agents.
CHICAGO, April o2.-Excellent progress has
been madc with the new agreement for the
Western Passenger Association to-day. The
general meeting has got through with the drafts
Of the general and local agreements and is now
considering rules for the operation of tho
mileage, clergy permit, and other bureaus AL
though the general and local agreements have
been thoroughly discussed clause by clause, they
have not yet been adopted finally. 1t may be a
week or ten days before the interested lines are
able to take conclusive action on them.
The reason for this is that some of the outside
lines are not prepared TO take the opinion OF the
counsel of Chicago railroads the final inter
probation of the law. They want to give counsel
OF their own roads an opportunity TO pass upon
the legality of the proposed agreement. 1t Is
not feared that the opinions of these counsel will
differ very much from those OF the Chicago men,
but the hestating general passenger agents want
to keep themselves entirely safe.
The adoption OF the agreement substantially
In the form ii was submitted by the committee
seems assured. Tho changes made in il as the
result OF the general discussion are all of II
minor nature, and DO not in any way touch the
general principles of the measure. The refusal
of few roads to become parties to it will not
prevent the agreement from being put into
effect with the least possible delay.

". S. ANDREWS SUES FOR 500, 600
Papers Served nt = Loyal Legion Dinner ON
Commander James Parker.

Papers were served at the Loyal Legion dinner
at Dclmonico's last night in suit for 500 900
damages for libel brought by William S. An
drews. formerly Excise Commissioner and Com
missioner OF Street Cleaning, against Com
mander James Parker OF the New York Com.
mandery Of the Legion.
Tho basis of the charge OF libel is n letter
alleged to have been written by Commander
Parker and sent to the members of the Loyal
Legion some time between April Q. 1895, and
April %. 1895. In this letter was the charge on
which Mr.. Andrews was subsequently expelled
from the Loyal Legion. Ii alleged that on Sept.

Legion procured for one Alexander S. Toplanyi
pension and back pension money TO the extent
of $500 and that OF this sum Mr.. Andrews
kept. wrongfully. $500. This charge. Mr..
Andrews says in his complaint, wifully
and malciously false. and it damaged his rcpu-
tation and his business as n lawyer TO the extent
of 100000.
The Andrews case caused q great deal OF trou-
BILE in the Loyal Legion. The charges upon
which he was tried consisted not only of this.
but of others based on certain facts brought ont
by the LeXow committee touching Mr.. An
drews's acts Excise Commissioner. Mr.. An
drcws made fight before the committee OF
the Loyal Legion that formed the court. Com
mandcr Parker had charge of the prosecution.
Tho committee reported adversely to Mr. An

report. and Mr.. Andrews was expelled. Since
then one OF the principal witnesses In the excise
charges has made public a statement in which
he said his testimony was not true.
