WOMAN PRAISlNG WOMAN,
But is Opposed to Their Having the Righ
 of Franchise.
o the Editor of The Age-Herald.

To the Editor of The Age Herald.
 Give woman her rights. Give woman her rights, do you say? Why, sir, it is not a case of giving at all, for shs holds her rights securely; and you may rest assured that whatsoever she finds to be a right, that will she have or know the reason why. Give woman her rights, I say. Give woman her rights-let the bold eagle scream it, as he mounts up- ward to the sun, while far below him in the shady glen, the modest violet mods assent. Give woman her rights, yes, but what are her rights? First, she 1t is who holds exclusive right to the name of daughter and as shs nl5ves to and fro in the home and in the circle of society. there is no one to question the right of her position, which she sustatns in such beautiful manner. She Is an embryonic queen, as long as she is sh4l- tered under the paternal roof-a little queen Gone might say) who some day will have dominion over the heart and home of some proud lord of creation" Her rights as daughter are so well estab- lished by the laws of nature and of na- lures God, that they are considered d. vine rights which no man can wu'est from her.
 Then again there is ITO more sacred right possessed by woman than the lroly right of wife. In this sphere, she is as a jewel, priceless to him who holds it and pleasing to ail who enter his home. The true wife is like a prism, turning a glint of sunshine into many rays Of brightest colors, thus seeming to be aIl. ways bright and cheerful And so we see that the rights of wifa and daughter are as incombatible as are the decrees of the Infinite, yet ro surer are they of standing than the divine rights of the mother. In the arch of a woman's life, we place daughter as one corner stonle and wife as the other, but reserve the keystone, the crowEing glory of the arch for mother And thus the arch of a woman's life is completed and stands before us as something beautiful in its outline, perfect in detail. yet firm and unshaken And surely there is nothing mere beautiful than the life arch of 0 woman, whose character is so beautiful that we think it must partaloe of the di- vine life. In such an arch the stones are not ordinary asonIy, but are bright. glitte1ing, precious stones. each bearing on the face the relation she suStains to those about her. The relation of sister, aunt. neice, friend and others symmet- rically arranged between the corner stones and their crowning glory.
 Yes, indeed, women have fnnuinerable rights that fall as ripe fruit at illsir feet, but the pity of it is that some are reach ing out for fruit, green and bitter to the taste. Actually, some are claiming their right to cast a ballot. but do not consider them women with a womans heart or a womanis part to play. They are a queer kinf of learned females, who are, ait the same time woefully ig- norant. Learniriy to be of any use, mu overcome ignnrance in tasa mind. an1 set up another kingdom there-the two are enemies ana cannot live in peace .to-

TRAINING THE YOUNG IDEAS.
Annual Opening of the State University at
 Tuscaloosa.
Special to The Age-Herald.

Special to The Age-HeFald.
 Tuscaloosa, Oct. 6.-The university op- ened most auspiciously today for what promises to be one of the best sessions in the history of the institution. Eighty eight new men matriculate1. This is a great increase over last year. The uni versity seldom ever before had such large mia,riculation of new men.
 It hs impossible to count all ths old boys back until the companies are formed, but there are about 15O men all together Eight young ladies entered. The law department is small yet, but students in both the first and second courses are already enrolled. From present indications the law class will number about twenty-five.
 Everybody is much gratified over the opening. Only sixtken freshmen en- rolled in aI1 of last year, while forty three enrolled today. Dr. Powers was a very busy man and is certainly a model of energy and zeal. The large body of new students is fine monument to his summer of untiring and successful work. Private Secretary Frank M. Purifoy is at his post and is proving to be a capa- bls officer. Pref. Graham, biology; Prof. Wilkins, engineering; Prof. Saffotd, Greek, the three new members of the faculty, are in their places and have all rsady createi most favorable impress sion. The Indications are for one of the best school years and work within tine history of the college. A number of boys from Mobile and like infected places are yet to come in.

BASE BALL.
Easy Money for Baltimore

Boston, Oct, 6.-The last ball game of Temple Cup series was as dul and un- Interesting a contest as has been seen here for many day. The BaltimorSs won with ridiculous ease and closed their engagement by practically exhaust ing the pitching talent of the Bostonians.
 In the three games all four of the Champions crack twirIers have taken their turn in receiving the saverest kind sive game the home team were obliged to make a charge before the game was over. Lewis however, was taken out to- day more because of his wildnass than of the Or-loles hard bat. ing, although when he did put them over hits came as usual Kiobcdanz. who took his place, did a trife better, but in the eighth was pounded hard.
 A slight shower came up just aS the Bostons were ending their half and the game was called, the score reverlting to the seventh and cutting four runs and five hits of tine visitors. On the other hand. Hoffer kept the Bostonfs hits ju- diciously scattered, and while somewhat wild at times, was not hit to any extent except in the third.
 The weather at the start was dupls- cate of the perfect condi tfons of the two previous days, but after six innings had been played, Ithe sky darkened and soon after the rain fell. The enthusiasm, which in the two previous games was a marked feature was utterly lacking to- day, the 'rooters" being apparently dis lfeartened by the ease with which the Ba1timores disposed of the Bcstons pitchers. The two teams were banquet ted tonagflt at Faneuil Hall, and tomor- TOW will play in Worcester.

 Opelika, Oct 6.--About o'clock this morning, Ahe old county jail, which is now used as a guard house by the city, caught fire anld was soon a mass of flames, ard being built of dry, hard pine, all efforts ito queneh it proved un- avafling. There were two negro prie- oners confined in the Jail in a cell up stairs, Lonza Bennett, who had besn in jail two hours for being drunk, and Jim Ferguson, who was being confined at night while working out his street tax.
 The latter was shackled so that he could mot escape had he had the chance, and when his half burned body was taken out .the chains were stil lon him. The fire broke out down stairs and quickly spread all over the building.
 The prisoners discovered the approach of the flames by smelling the smoke, and peering through the grating, discovered the flames. Their heart -rending sereames awakened almost the eintfre town. The lower story was in ffatnes, while the up- per story was barred with iron, and so with fearful yells they met their doom.
 One was burned almost entirely, the other being half consumed. The fire company did not have enough hose to reach the fire until it was beyond all control.

THE ARKANSAS
SETTLEMENT.


 With great deal of labor and no less patience, we have waded through Gov. Jones voluminous veto message to the Legislature, which purports to be the reasons for his disapproval of the concurrent reso- lution passed by the Senate and House ratifying the settlement of the differences between the Federal Government and the State of Ark ansas made by Government Com missioners and James P. Clarke, late Governor of this State What Gov. Jones veto message lacks in strength and foreible reasoning it makes up in verbosity and vol uminousness. It is longer that the Presidents message, if it lacks the latter's originality. Mckinleys in auguaal address takes up three col umns in the Gazette; while Jones maiden veto message consumes ten of the valuable (A columns Of that newspaper. Out of these ten col umns, seven are devoted to the re- port of the Federal Commissioners and the speeches of Senators Jones an7 Ts~rv 1al'-ored whoa fhc so.
