mr.. Ayery Is Not yveaIthy.

Mrs. Rachel Foster Avery. while at- tending the recent executive meeting oi the Woman's National Council in Bos- ton, was described by some of the papers as a woman worth $3, 500 000 4 few years ago Mrs. Avery had abundant means and gave literally to tho suffrage cause. A few years hence she is likely to have abundant means again and will then no doubt contribute with her usual generosity. But we have the best au' thority for saying that, through certain business complications, Mrs. Avery ia al present the reverse of rich. The news- paper report about her millions, by which many women would have been hattered, has been cause of sorrow tC her, as tt has brought her many appli. cations to which she is quite unable tl respond.

The Woman Referee.

The presence of a woman referee at a recent auction sale has opened the eyes of some old lawyers to the danger of further inroads by the sex upon time hallowed privileges and perquisites. If q woman can boldly mount the rostruln and coolly watch the audience bidding frantically for tenement house, why can she not act as commissioner to opeu streets and parks. and even ascend the bench and reach the court of appeals? In fact, if the encouragement of woman LsHyer IS going to be the fad it woul l be well for all firms of lawyers to add a woman to the partnership, and thui meet competition. Old practitioners se3 that the time to resist the admission of women to the bar has passed, and the1 must bow to the inevitable, just as did the car drivers a few years ago when the cable was substituted for slow horses. =

HIS HEIRS.
HnFan Rfirseh Said They We're Suffering
 Humanity.

 HnFan Rirsch Said They Were Suffering
 Humanity.
 Ever since the death of his only son. says the Vienna correspondent of the London Telegraph, he devoted his life and fortune to works of philanthrophy, and in the first place to the improve. ment of the lot of his own eoreligionists in Austria, Hungary, Roumania and Russia. Thus the Hirseh fund iii Aus tria disposes of 9 sum of l3,000, 000 francs for the purpose of educating the children of indigent Galieian Jews and teaching them trades There are no Iesa than 1 1 such schools in existence here at present. and their success is -unques. tioned. They are rapidly humanizing thousands of unfortunate Jews whom centuries of cruel persecution had bru- talized. Flo assigned about 10, 900, 000 francs to his eoreligionists in Roumania, and he offered 90, 900, 900 francs for the purpose of transplanting Russian Jews to America But owing to the refusal of the Russian government this plan i'll it's primitive and grandiose form had to be abandoned. Still, it is mainly to his energy and generosity that thousands of Russian Jews owe the facilities afforded them of emigrating to the United States and Argentina. In all this Baron Hirsch acted on the reasonable conviction that Jews are quite as capable as Christians of becoming skilled artisans and suceess- ful agriculturists if only they obtain fair play, and before his death he had the satisfaction of knowing that he had completely proved his case But it would be 8 gross mistake to fancy that Baron Hirsch's generosity was sectarian He was Q philanthropist ill the noblest and most catholic sense of the world. and thousands-nay, millions-of men and women of all Christian churches will bitterly bewail his death
 It is estimated that he spent altogeth. CT in works of pure philanthropy I00,. 900, 900 francs, or one-third of his capi. tai. He was busy drawing up further grandiose plans of philanthropy when death closed his career
 On the occasion of his last visit to Austria he complained to friend of the high legacy duties in this country. Are you anxious about your heirs. then?" asked the friend. My heirs, 5" replied Baron Hirs1h, "are suffering humanity. My one desire is to capital l2e all my benevolent foundations r that they may live and work for eyer. Thousands of the poor and wretohed in all quarters of the globe regarded Man- rice HirSch as an earthly Providence. Every year in Carlsbad he was followed Rt respectful distance by hundreds of Polish and Russian Jews. who regarded the ground he trod as holy. Every post brought him countless begging letters One was couched in the following terms: 'I If you are man of honor, help m unfortunate lady in trouble. Send 20, 900 francs by return post to E. G., Poste Restante, and never seek to learn my name. " Another was as follows: Messiah of the Jews. You, who like a second Moses seek to rescue us from slavery, help me, your servant, out of my present troubles. " One youth in Budapest wrote begging letter, and received from Baron Hirsch, who never saw him, 30. oeo francs.

who do not desire the enfranchise- ment of her sex. We do not know whether she is justly or wrongly accused, but it seems to us that quite too much stress is laid on the fact that she is woman. No sen sible advocate Of equal suffrage has ever claimed perfection for the de. franehised sex. has never been predicted that absolute holiness in politics would result from giving the ballots to the wives, mothers and sisters of the male voters. The most that can Be hoped for in this connection was and k an improve ment in political morals as neu- tral result of the advocate of woman suffrage Women are less inclined than men 10 crooked ways. They are, as rule-a rale recognized by business men sa er castodians Of cash than men. They are displac. ing men in various positions of trust because Of their higher moral standard. Giving them the ballot does not necessarily lower their standard.
 But this woman ward -heeler of Denver appears to have had a rec ord before she became Colorado politician She was tried in Michi- gan few years ago for forgery. The iuries disagreed, and the case was dropped Prior to this she had been married and had obtained di- yoree. After the collapse of the forgery prosecution Miss Allen went West and became a politician in Denver As one of the judges of the last municipal election in that city it is charged that she did not properly watch the counting of the ballots, and that she wrote her sig nature on the election blank when she knew the paper affirmed that more ballots had been counted for member of her party than had been east.
 Should all that is charged in the indictment against this woman be established and her conviction be secured, we dc not see how it couId affect the right or the wrong, the expediency or the inexpedieney of equal suffrage The men who are prosecuting her do not represent that she was corrupted after en- trance into politics, They say that she began her cratic career long before her arrival in Denver, and they assert that, after her arr val there, and before she loomed up as a politician, she was arrested for "robbing her employer If there were no stronger arguments than this case presented against giving the ballot to women, the opponents ot the movement would be in des- perate strait The use they ar making of this-the first and only instance of its kind-shows that they are beginning to be distrust- ful of their old line of argumenta- ton. = Washington Post.

 A sagacious Spanish statesman is Senor PT ' MARaALL He has had large experience in politics, and has been a Republican for many years, When the Spanish republic was pro claimed in the year 1873, he WI. elected President of the Exccativt Power; and, though he held tha office for but brief period, he made 1t manifest that he was man O intelligence and courage, Unlikt EMILIO CASTELAR,, he has remained faithful to his Republican princinles ever since that time and he hai done what lay in his power to pro mote their growth on Spanish soil
 Since the Cuban war began, ht has many times raised his volce ir protest against the despotism whict rules in Cuba. He has urged the Madrid Government to change its policy toward Cuba; he has mani tested his sympathy with the Cuban cause; and he has frequently ex- pressed the opinion that Spain ought to put a stop to the war against Cuba
 X while ago Senor Ply MARaALL  published in his organ, ~ Nueeo Reg nlta disquisition on inc sub jeet of American invention between Spain and Cuba. He maintained that this country would be justified, under existing circumstances, in adopting a policy of interference. He Illustrated his argument with examples drawn from the practice of European governments in this century, or since the termination of the Napoleonic wars. In 1923 France interfersd in Spanish affairs by sending m army across the Pyrenees to restore absolutism. A few years later France, England, and Russia favored the Greeks in the war by which Greece became in- dependent of Turkey Some years afterward Spain intervened in Por- tugal, as the Dona MARIA. In ls49 the Catholic powers went to Rome, crushed the new. republic, and re- stored Plus X. In the same year Russia invaded rebel Hungary, and assisted in bringing it back to FRAScTs JOSEPH. Ten years after ward France went to Italy and gained Lombardy for for the King of Sardinia. In 1861 France inter- sened in Mexico, and set up MAXI MILAN as Emperor there. In 1879 England and France went to Egypt, which seon fell under English con trol.
 These are among the examples of interventions by force ot arms spo- ker af by Senor Pr ' MARuALL, who next turns to eases of diplomatic intervention, some of them within recent times. He refers especially to the part played by several Euro pean Governments during The war between China and Japan, and to the action of the American Govern ment in defending gVenezuela against England. Yet another case of dip lomatic intervention as striking as any in past times has occurred since the publication Fof this article in El Naeco Regimen, We refer to the conduct of the powers this year in the war between Turkey and Greece.
 After citing the many examples oI intervention within our century, Senor Pr Y MARaALL agrees that the United States would be justified in intervening between Spain and Cuba. He believes that American diplomatic intervention in this case would result in advantage 10 Spain, to Cuba, to the United States, and .a :ss;ss ssss whole world xii nations, lie says, suffer from existing war, but Spain suffers the most.
