Women nnn 1zeligions Work.

The Protestant ieaconess institutions in Germany have paved the way for an independent position and suitable work for unmarried women The black dress with the white cape gives her safe en- tts into all houses, and we cannot but regret that the number of ladies is not larger who seek this useful occupation. But 1t has also given 9 general impulse to the work of women in all the branches of home missions,
 This brings Us to another point---ths position of women in religious work Women pastors and preachers are recog. nized in America as an order already existing. In Germany we ara only in the beginning, but this beginning is made. The speaking of women in public WAS formerly rendered quite impossible, At first it WAS allowed in smaller circles of women. Now lady, Mrs. Guauek, who IS one of tho German representa- tives of the rights of women, was re- quested to give an address at the evaE- geIical social congress at Erfurt last year, and she met with universal ap- plause. We begin to hear now that women may make public addresses without losing that true delicaey which we should not care to miss. In eul prayer meetings women begin to take an active part We even find that these meetings only become more lively and interesting when women join in the exercises. Count Bernstortf in Exam. inar

SUBSCRIPTION PRICE:
MUST HUMP YOURSELF

Prosperity will never come to the man who sits down and waits for 1t, my son. You hear these calamity howlers saying a great deal about prosperity, and that there is no prospect of anything better than we now have, don't you2 yes. We'll, just look at that man standing oyer there on the corner. He has been talking about the great red dragon, and the combined efforts of capital, and and tie grinding aggregation of monopo.ies for lol these many years, and only yesterday he was asked to take an interest in an enterprise which would bring prosperity not only to himself, but 10 seventeen other equally poverty stricken gentlemen of leisure. No son, when you hear these loud m9uthed individ uals talking about hard times and lack of prosperity, and that the country is fast going to ruin, put them down as loafers, pure aLd simple If you would see things moving along as though there was a fire some where in town, you must . get a hump on yourself and take up the first thing that comes along, squeeze the juice out of it, and make something out of the juice. Loafers never prosper, never see anything good in an enterprise, never see any prosperity, ;n fact, and when the time comes for them to go hence, they will begin to question the angel of death if there are any soft snaps over there, if prosperity reigns there to those who never put their shoulder to the wheel, and the answer will be such as will bring forth from them vail deeper and more pitiful than they were want to make upon earth But they must go Helena World

WANTS INTEREST.
argument of Counsel Peters to the Behring
Sea Commission,

halifax, N. s., August ss.-Hon. Mr..
eeers in his address before the seal COM
mission today took up the question of in
oerest allowed on claims dating from the
Jay OF seizure. He was at issue with
non Don M. Dickinson on this point
ne claimed for Great Britain interest
not only on the value of ships seized ano
chattels belonging thereto. but also or
ohe award to members of the crew for loss
OF wages, loss from prospective catch
and award for hardship to crews. He
claimed and quoted authority in support
OF his contention and strongly urged that
the value of the property which has been
decreasing during the past II years was
not sufficient remuneration. He
Claimed that Mr.. Dickinson had admit
TED that a vessel seized II years ago should
be paid for with interest. He thought
that his learned friends admission
should also apply to prospective profits.
There was an amount due at the time of
the seizure from the loss of the prospec-
tive catch. If the vessel had been allowed
TO f1sh an amount of money would have
been received on which interest would
have accrued. He thought that the words
OF the Geneva Judgment applied to the
case. 1t was just and reasonable that in
terest should be allowed at q reasonable
rate.
Many cases were quoted by Mr.. Peters
In support of his contention, and he called
the attention of his hearers to many high
authorities on the subject. Mr.. Peters
then took up the brief of Mr.. Dickinson.
He disputed the latter's contention that
interest had never been granted on pros
pective profits. He commended that even
admitting Mr.. Dickenson's claim there
was no reason why interest should not
now be granted in case where it has
been shown that the claims for prospec-
tive profits were Of an urgent character.
The United States was guilty of the
offense. 1t was not few people living
in that country, but the government it.

public believed the promises of the owners
and the best Of feeling existed between
the patrons Of the game and the men in
charge OF the enterprise.
Now, however. there are signs that the
old policy of barter and sale that marked
the former period Of money getting and
team weakening has been resumed. The
most extravagant offers Of players for cash
considerations have been made, capped as a
climax by the proposition advanced to the

In the pockets of the owners of the WASH

tfcally put the capital out of the race for

team. The folly of such a move is evident.
Even though unsuccessful it has weagened
the faith of the local patrons in the COOL
winning team. The citizens of Washing

shaking Public Confidence.

The owners of the Washington base ball
club seem TO be trying to dsillusionize their
patrons, If the reports from the scene of
the annual meeting of the National League
at Philadelphia are to be credited. Several
seasons ago these same owners tried the
experiment of money making through the
sale of popular players whom they had &C
quiz ed or developed and no doubt the bank
account Of the club was snugly increased
by the products of these deals. The effect
upon the patronage. however, was not
cheering, for the people came to the con-
ciusion that the chief desire of the manage
ment was not the building up of a winning
team, but the profitable manipulation of the
base ball market with their stock in hand.
The attendance fell of and the local In
teiest in the game was reduced to a mini
num- This result of the 6ickering opened
the eyes of the managers and owners. a
change OF policy was publicly announced,
and for two seasons at least 1t was main
tanned, with the result that the club played
better ball, acquired higher position In
the race and attracted large crowds of en-
thusiastic patrons. The watch-word Of
the enterprise was: Get good men, keep
them, exchange them, II need be. when they
fall on In their playing. but at all times
seek to build up the playing abilities OF the
team by drawing In new material" The
