Engaged in n Novel Work.

Members Of the Evanston, ILL.,, woman's
club are engaged in novel work this winter.
They are educating young girls by series
OF practical lessons in various lines OF house
hold duties such as cooking, the mending If
clothes, washing and ironing. and other
things which n housewife should understand
thoroughly in order to manage her home to
the best advantage.
The movement has the merit of three dis
tinct phases OF originality-the lessons are
given by society women of prominence, the
instruction Is impaired in their homes, and
the girls are being trained with the purpose
Of increasing their usefulness as future
wives and mothers instead of with the object
OF turning out a handy corps of skilled do
nestle servants.
There is one thing we strongly impress
upon the minds of these girls as soon as
they join our classes says Mrs A. L.
kayser, one Of the instructors in cooking
and this is the fact that there is a field ioy
their best efforts in their own homes-that
their own families are entitled to all bene-
fits arising from intelligent service. We are
trying to train housewives not servants"

VINO caused his apprehension give him credit
Tor being one of the smoothest men in the

was filed by Prince The prosecution regard
this as clever move to aid the two men to
get together in the county JAIL but Prince

Grifhn from squandering money furnished

behalf. Soon after arriving yesterday Griffin
began drinking heavily and late last night

GOSSIP FROM THE STATE HOUSE.
Auditor Cornell Gues East in N Hurry
md SpcrptIy

and secretly.
LINCOLN, Dec. ESPECIAL )-State Audi
tor Cornell has been absent from his office
for several days, but his Office force has
been very reticent about hs whereabouts, and
have declined 20 give out any Information
TO the newspapers. However 1t has been
learned from a trustworthy source that the
auditor secured passes to Washington and
New York for himself and his brother
George w. Cornell Of Auburn, and that the
brothers, after spending few days in the
national capital, have gone on to New York
CITY, where they are now in conference with
the managers OF a number of the old line
insurance companies. The nature of this
conference has not yet been fully ascer-
tained but the fact that an attempt has been
made to keep the matter secret, and the evil
dent ureasiness of the very few who know
OF the trip would Indicate that the confer
ence with the insurance managers Is not
regarded as part OF the public duty OF the
auditor, and that the junket is more Of a
private than of puSlc nature.
II has been quietly given out that Alberts
OF Columbus will be appointed by Governor
Hoicomb to succeed Judge Sullivan cIl the
district bench, and that the news of the ap-
pointment will be made public in day OF
two.
The Kansas City g. Northwestern Railroad
company has filed an answer with the, State
oudiu vi llhHSpCTldllOM IN tne case Drought
by Pawnee county to compel the company
to repair a public road along it. line. The
answer is in the nature OF general denial,
with an objection to the jurisdiction of tho
board to inquire ilto the matter. 1t states
that the company complied with the law
when the railroad was established and tha.
40 notice has been served on them by the
county commissioners that repairs are
needed at the present time. 1t is under
stood that the county will hold that the
road did not comply with the law when the
line was established, and made no effort to
put the public road in good repair, and for
that reason the notice by the county com
missioners is not now necessary.
The attorney general today filed motion
in the supreme court to dismiss the appeal
in the Eugene Moore case, because Moore S
attorneys are behind time in filing briefs.
The motion is purely matter of form, as 1t
has been ascertained that the briefs are in
the hands of the printer and will be ready
for filing in a few days.

WASHINGTON, Dec 2S-Mr. Eckels to-
day stated that 'in order that there may be
ro delay in placing the Chestnut Street Ma
ticnal rank in voluntary liquidation in case
the creditors of the bank accepted the plan
proposed by the committee having 1t ir
charge l have instructed the deputy comp,
troller George NJ. Coffin, to at once cal.

resolution and issue notice to the sharehold-
ers for a meeting to vote to go into volun-
tary liquidation. In addition l have re-
quested him to have the directors obtain a.
once the signaturee Of representatives hold.
ing two-thrds of the banks stock agreeing
to vote for liquidation when the matter is
presented at the meeting to be called Hav.
ing done this have stated that the comp.
troller would then permit the bank to go
into voluntary liquidation, after the vote is
had, on evidence being furnished that the
creditors OF the bank have accepted the plan
proposed by the committee in place of evil
dences of indebtedness from the bank. BY
having this arranged before voting 1t will
enable the public to understand that imme-
diately upon the consent Of the creditors
5eing obtained the bank will avoid the ap.
pointment of a receiver and the expenses
and delay attendant upon a receivership
avoided.
'I have studied the plans submitted with
care and am of the opinion that the creditors
of the bank, the trust company, and Mr.
Singerly, will be better cared for thon by any
| method which can be devised in which all the
| assets represented by his various ioterestf
are handled under different agencies. Such
4 division OF responsibility and of assets
would necessarily entail disputes and result
in expensive litigation as to the rights OF this
or that one In the property interests repre-
| seated by him. 1t would also jeoIaTdize the
value of the asset which is the most to IL
looked to for the payment of the obligations
due from the institutions with which he wa:
colnected and from himself
THE Importance OF whatever action the
creditors take being quickly determined arises
from the wisdom OF not permitting any asse
to be unnecessarily diss!pated or any OF the
good will Of any valuable property in which
Mr.. Singcrly is interested lost. The situa
tion is now in the hands OF the creditors, an
believe that in following the plan outlined
the end will fully justify their relying uper
the conservative management of those WAC
have heretofore been successful in undertake
ing large financial matters"
