APPEAL OF A TOPEKA GIRL.
Asks Others to Stop Offering Liquor to
Young Men.

AOuHts WELL
Lead them not into temptation" is
the cry OF Miss Olivia Van Tassel. a
leader in Topeka society, who has ere
ated sensation by declaring that the
young society women of the town are
Turing young men to ruin by Offering
them drink when they come into their
homes. Miss Van Tassel charges the
downfall of one young man to this
custom. and she has made an appeal
to the society women of Topeka to put
away their wine decanters and assist
In saving the young men from drunk
ards graves. She says: Il think
it is just awful the way wine is served
to young men by some of the society
women OF Topeka. One young man
has been ruined by this practice, and
others are on the road to ruin. The sc
society young women are responsible
for their downfall 1t is amazing that
so many of the young women of this
town do not object to the young men
drinking liquor, and it is still more
shocking to know that many of the
young women drink liquor them
selves" Miss Van Tassel will carry her
war into the churches and will appeal
to the parents to throw the nasty stuff
into the cutters.

EDUCATION AMONG INDIANS.
Many of the Students at Carlisle show


Capacity for Knowledge.
From the New York Post: That the
indian has capacity for higher ed
ucatlon appears from the facts given
IN the eighteenth annual report of the
indian industrial school at Carlisle,
ia. During the past year five students
from Carlisle have attended Dickinson
college, one at Metzger college for
women. Others have attended the
carlisle high school, some have
been at the normal schools of
the state, Drexel institute at Phil
adelphia and the nurses schools Of
Philadelphia, New Haven and Hart
ford. One Of the pupils. after grad
uatlng from a New England normal
school, was employed last year in a
nigh school in Connecticut and taught
SO successfully as to be recalled and
given permanent situation as teacher
thus far no difficulty has been expe-
rienced in placing all those who show
ed a desire for a higher education than
Is given at Carlisle. There, for mani

tical industrial character, as best fitted
TO make the Indian self-supporting in
his changed condition AS a further
means OF inducing the Indian boys
and girls into civilized family and ma
ticnal life the outing system has been
adopted. During the fiscal year 1897
there were placed out from the Car
Isle school for longer or shorter pc
RODS 4O1 boys and 319 girls. OF these
l04 boys and 101 girls remained out all
winter, attending district and other
Americanizing schools with the young
people of the families in which they
resided, earning their board with their
work out Of school hours By an ex-
tension of this system the school could
economically care for 1900 children, or
about twice the present number en-
rolled. The children placed with fam
lilies last year earned a total of $20,-
1889, of which the boys earned $13,-
1927 and the girls s7,263.12. From
these amounts the boys saved $6.426.03
and the girls $3,288.21. Boys and girls
who have been out a number of times
have acquired the ability to earn full
wages.

WHIST IN THE CHURCH.
What Card Playing Has Done for One
Town.


And that's what's the matter with
Emporia-too much whist. The paint
ed china set is married to cards. Wom
en- have no higher thought from week S
end to weeks end than winning head
prizes, says the Emporia (Kas) Ga
zette. They grow nervous, irascible,
bad-tempered and ugly playing cards.
Little crows feet appear at the cor
ners of their eyes after an evening
with whist, and deep, vertical lines
pillow themselves just above their noses.
There are more plain women in En-
pOria who lost their bloom at the rent
ed card tables than there are women
who have worn themselves out over
the kitchen stove. 1t is worry, not
work, that makes women fade and
cards are sapping the juice out of the
town. Only the young people patron
ize the public library. The old folks
make whats trump" the chief end
of man. Cards have invaded the
churches. One church has big fac
tional row looming upon the horizon
because the pastor has jumped cards.
Another church narrowly avoided it
last winter. A third pastor sees his
best customers whooping it up in
whist clubs and hasn't the nerve TO
say a word. In the meantime poker
rooms. which are just as improving
and elevating and just as helpful to
the town as whist clubs. have been
opened on Commercial street, and the
town is enjoying the fruit of the seed
the women have planted.

Unless All Other Mines DO the
Same at Chestnut
Ridge Mine.

Pittsburg, Sept. S.-Colonel Rend's
miners at Mcdonald, Pa, will not go
back at the terms offered by him yes
terday. The committee appointed to
present this ultimatum to the men re-
ported today that meetings were held
last night and it was decided to aC-
cept no rate exce9t 50 cents and not
to work for that price unless all other
mines do the same. The miners and
their committee were unanimous in
this, and say that all talk Of going to
work on any other basis is useless.
Nothing has set been received here
from Columbus ard both operators
and miners are at sea. There seems to
be great doubt of settlement on ac-
count of the stand by the miners Of
ficials. The operators say they will not
pay the 6S cent rate and will go ahead
with their arrangements to start the
mines with new men.
Grove City. Sept. IA great deal of
excitement was caused here yesterday
by the report that Poles employed to
fill the striking miners places at the
Chestnut Ridge mine We're being held
there against their will and were COM
PEELED to work at the point of a rifle
and We're threatened with death if they
attempted to leave. one of the Poles
managed TO elude the vigilance of the
guards. and tells a tale that is causing
n great deal of indignation among the
strikers, among other things saying
that up to the time of his escape yester-
day he had received nothing TO eat
but one slice of bread. He was taken
in charge by the strikers who took him
TO Mercer today and entered proceed
ings against the manager of the mine.
Strikers numbering between 800 and 200,
and headed by the Golden Eagle band,
last night marched to the Chestnut
Ridge mine and made a demonstration.
Another march is billed for tonight.
Dubois, Sept. 3.-The striking miners
meeting here today was uneventful and
for one day neither operators nor min
crs have made any important move
ment. Beech Tree, the only mine of
the jefferson and Clearfeld company
that is working, will not be disturbed
by the strikers. 1t is said to be well
worked out and only about twenty cars
per day are shipped from that mine.
