A California divorce case has brought
the subject Of The new woman before
The public in another light. and one
. IN which. il must be confessed. the man
does not show 10 the lest advantage.

Mrs. Douglass on the groSnd tha, she

sounds encouraging. bu, let mankind
study the facts in the case before be
coming jubilanr. They present a situ-
alton that must be looked sQuarely il
the face.
N-. Douglass proved that his wife
wore boomers. that she rode horse
back a-s,raddle. that she was overly
fond Of hunting and Of athletic sports
and that she neglected her home and
her little boy. II was upon the estab-
rshment of the existence Of these
specifc grievances that the divorce was
granted. and 10 that extent Mr.. Doug
lass was victorious. But he himself
made a showing in the case which is
well calculated 10 send cold shivsrs
down The spinal column of every other
man who realizes the gravity Of the
situation now confronting the ersJwhiie
dominant sex.
II seems that Mr.. Douglass was g
book-keeper Of exceedingly frail ply
sioue. Frequently it happened thar he
would be seized with attacks Of weak
ness al the supper table. 50 severe in
nature that his buxom wife free Of

+ his room and put him TO bed. Even
were these attacks not forthcoming,
Mr.. Douglass invariably returned home
from work in such an exhausted con-
dition that he was unable 20 take his
wife our anywhere. and psevishly IL
sisted thar she should remain al home
10 nurse him and the baby. So the
breach between the weak man and the
strong woman wideaei until it culmin-
ated in divorce.
The lesson in the case Of Mr.. Douglass
Is that the Old Nan must beat the New
Woman at her own game. He must
prove himself more Of man than she
is. If her muscles are well-developed
and hardened by exercise. it behCoves
him 10 20 into training until she is not
in the same class with him. As the
Douglass case now stands, the worlds

PAVED WITH DIAMONDS.
A Street in South Africa Which
Yielded Fortunes.

The costliest macadam on record once
paved the streets OF Kimberley, South Africa.
This celebrated roadbed was studded with
diamonds and hundreds of valuable gems
were taken from it. The South African
diamond mines discovered accidentally
thirty years ago. A peddler, while hawking
his wares from farmhouse to farmhouse,
found a shining stone by the wayside, and,
thinking it might be of some value, sent it,
in an open letter. to a geologist, who at once
recognized it as a fine diamond. The dis
covery became known; the diamond fever
broke out; valuable stones were taken out
of the earth, and a mining camp sprang UP,
which received the name of Kimberley. The
mining methods were primitive; water was
scarce, and the workmen. instead of wash
ing the soil, attempted to find their diamonds
in the dry earth. AS a result, many stones
remained hidden in the debris from the
mines The mining camp grew into the city
of Kimberley, with a municipal council, and
when 1t was determined to macadamize its
streets the refuse from the diamond mines
was taken for the purpose. The mines final
ly became too deep to be worked without
machinery, and were bought up by COM
panies of financiers AS a result, many
workmen were thrown out of employment.
1t was then remembered that the town streets
contained diamonds, and the town council
petitioned by the unemployed to allow
them to wash over the macadam and re-
cover the gems. The petition was granted,
and the washings yielded 5000 900 worth Of
diamonds yearly. Some magnificent stones
were discovered, and the story is told that
in one instance gems worth $40 900 were
found in twelve square yards Of street.

LATTIMER SHOOTING.
Resolutions DenOuncing Ii Passed
by the Labor Council.

WASHINGTON, Sept 23.-The last
days session of the executive council
of the American Federation of Labor
convened this morning at IL o'clock.
all members being present A resolu-
ton was adopted directing the Chicago
Federation of Labor, the affiliated CEN
trail labor council there, to aid the tan
ners and curriers' of that city to thor
oughly organize. Regarding the shoot
ing at Lattimer, Pa, on Sept 49, the
following resolutions were adopted:
Resolved, That we declare the attack of
Sheriff Martin and his deputies the march
ing miners, then on strike, as brutal
unprovoked massacre, inspired by the coal
operators of that section to defeat the de-
mands of the men for better conditions
Resolved That the ever-ready use of late
years of court injunctions, armed force and
the state militia. in times of labor troubles
is only part Of the insidious programme to
entirely subjugate the workers of America
for the most debasing degradation.
Resolved, That condemn most severely
the wanton killing and woundng of the
poor miners at Lattmer, and will give our
fullest help through the trade unions and
the American Federation of Labor to raise
money for the legal prosecution and con-
viction of Sheriff Martin and his murderous
m+nions, that through the courts of our land
even-handed justice may be done to atone
for these revolving murders.
Frank j. Weber, one of the Fedora
ton general organizers, was directed
to proceed Immediately to the Luzerne
district, Pennsylvania, for the purpose
of helping in more thoroughly organic
ing the miners and to endeavor to eff
feet an adjustment Of the miners
strike in that region.

ECCENTRIC CHURCHMAN.
He Clues His Dollar to the COntri-
button Box Every Sunday.

Trinity chapel, in West Twenty fifth
street, has been receiving an annual income
hammered cd man. who every Sunday pasts
a dollar bill in the middle of the wooden
collection plate, says the New York Herald.
He sits in the very front row, and mis- Offer
ing is the first which is taken up. He has
the bill ready. The under side IS covered
with resnous substance which adheres like
glue and has the odor of turpentine He de-
posits the bill fat, gives it parting pat to
fasten it firmly, and fixes his eyes upon the
Cainstone reredos. The muciage IS always
fresh. Nobody seems to know where he gets
Trinity chapel has so far offered no objec-
ton to the dollar a week which the man IN
the first pew has seen fit to contribute. 1t is
always a good dollar. Some times it is
bank note but more often it is a oliver GER
tifcate.
The man with the dollar bill is about fifty
years old. He is tall and slender. He comes
to church every Sunday morning attired in
a long coat with white necktie six hat, Kid
gloves and an air of gentle solemn!;y. Ills
moustache and goatee, slightly tinged with
gray, give him the appearance OF Ken
lucky colonel.
He takes his place in calm and dtgnifed
manner He reads the responses shows a
passing interest in the hymns, and after the
sermon he draws the bill from beneath the
folds of his coat, apparently, and deposits 1t
with patient care.
Although he does depart by the side door,
he is too much of stickler for the propri-
cites to do anything rude.
Nobody seems to have the remotest idea
who the man is. Rev. DR.. Vibbert instruct
ed the sexton to find out, and also to ask him
why he did it. The sexton got as far as
saying Good morning seveal times. The
stranger then frowned and fled.
Another thing the sexton would like to
know is when the gentleman pastes the bill.
He opines that he carries bottle and brush.
and coats the note with paste just before
the vestrymen have received the plates
The sexton and vestrymen are so accus-
toned to getting the bill that it does not
annoy them in the least.
Of course, so securely is the note pasted
that it can never be taken off intact. 1t is
carefully scraped off every Sunday morning,
and the largest portions. bearing the num-
Der. are sent to the bank. These pieces are
forwarded to the treasury at Washington,
and new, crisp bills are issued in their stead.
Trinity chapel is perhaps slightly incon-
venienced, but the church practically loses
nothing.

IN RE ANDREWS.
Some Pointed Remarks by the Pres
ident of Cornell.


ITHACA. N. Y, Sept. 23-In the
course OF his annual address to the
students of Cornell university today,
President J. G. Schurlnann made some
references which have been accepted
here as applying to the recent troubles
Of President Benjamin E. Andrews
and the corporation of Brown univer-
sity.
Cornell" he observed, recognizes
that the majority may be wrong and
that the minority may be right. There
fore, absolute freedom is the soul Of
the institution. Brice called our ma
Jority rule system fatalism of the null
titude We believe here that one man
with Gods breath is majority, and
every teacher is expected to do what
Socrates did, although he outraged
Athenfnans and suffered martyrdom
for it to communicate to others his own
belief and convictions, or else to an
swer to a charge of sacrilege. L be-
lieve the institution should cease to
exist a thousand times sooner than
single professor should be coerced..
Teachers should be free to investl-
gate and to announce and proclaim
what they have discovered. They must
be free to present both sides of ques-
ton. The teacher is not the represen-
tative of corporation or the people,
but a representative of the God of
truth While money is a necessity to
any university, it not so paramount
as the freedom of a teaching staff. Bet
ter that the university be wiped out
of existence than that truth be sup
pressed. The end of a university is
propagation Of truth. Any pretentions
of a corporation to set limits on
teaching staff must be resisted as alb
solutely unWarranted.'

The Big League Leaders to Meet
with the National Pennant III
the Balance.
Cleveland s, Chicago 4.
STANDING OF THE CLUBS.
GAMES SCHEDULED FOR TODAY.
Boston at Baltimore
Philadelphia at Brooklyn.
washington at New York.

So far as Baltimore and Boston are
concerned. the season of the National
league will come to an end on 5atur-
Gay, Oct g. On that day Washington
Will finish a series of three games at
Baltimore and Boston a series Of games
at Brooklyn. In the meantime each Of
the clubs has six games to play, on the
face of the schedule. All of these
games the Orioles will play on the
home grounds, while Boston has fin
ished for the year at home. Today the
two leaders will meet at Baltimore for
q series that will probably decide the
championship for 1897. They, will play
today and Saturday and finish the Sc
ries en- Monday. Tuesday is an off day
for both clubs, and on Wednesday the
Orioles will try conclusions with the
Senators, while Boston will meet the
Bridegrooms. Friday will be another
off day, and on Saturday, as stated,
the two clubs will play their closing
scheduled games, though the season
will not officially end until the next
day, when there will be games at
Louisville and st. Louis.
On the face of the situation Boston has
only the slimmest of fighting chances
to win. The finish is close, almost with
out example, but the Orioles have de-
cidedly the best of it. Two games out
of the next series will almost assure
the pennant to the Orioles, and it will
not be questioned that any club which
starts out to get two games out of
three on the Baltimore grounds has a
hard job on hand
Boston has no postponed games to
be played and must stand or fall by
those of the schedule. Baltimore has
three games of the regular season yet
back, but it is not at all likely that any
of them, except one with Washing
ton, will be played. The Orioles stand
to win in any event and will hardly
take any unnecessary chances, but,
even if they so desired, it is doubtful
if many Of the postponed games could
be played before the date fixed to close
the season.
