THE BEST TIME 40 co SOUTH !,

The Southern Field, of Washington n
G.. in an article on the climatic nj

us readers that the best time to go

south is always ready for visitors. which
IS fact. Indeed there is no period OF

| University who deEi.e to do 50, and our
contemporary position in This matter is
fully In accord with the views OF The
Firgfnian On the subject OF higher edu-
cation for the young women Of the
South.
The Virgnian has never been able to
understand why the young women of
America. who desire education, should
be debarred from entering any institu-
ton OF learning wherein she seeks an
education.
The doors of every college in the land
should open to the young women who
seek education. There is some opposi-
ton to this 70 be sure. but there should
be none The opposition is mainly born
Of prejudice, and it is to the discredit or
those SO opposing the entrance of female
students that 1t is allowed to exist The
objection, however. in the case at bar is
the mingling Of the two sexes, and in
answer thereto the Chronicle has this to
say:
"All OF the objections that come to
mind upon the first consideration OF the
subject have been met not
simply by theory, but by prac-
teal experiment at various col
leges and have proven almost who'll
~ imaginary. Cornell was the first Of
the large institutions, we believe, to
make the co-educational experiment and
Of those who disapproved of the expert
ment, 1t proved a success. and other in
stitutions opened their doors to both
sexes.
THE minglng Of the two ncites both

young men for the young women, and
instead Of making the latter careless
in their department with men. the ex-
periencc of the institutions that have
tried the experiment is just the reverse
Rivalry between the sexes. mentally, in
duces greater effort from both while in
every hundred men there is sufficient
percentage Of gentlemen to frown down
any unseemingly conduct on the part Of
those who, from ignorance or vicious i'm
pulses, are disposed TO be unman1y in
speech or department. In boyhood and
girlhood, and after college life, in man
hood and womanhood, Georgians mingle
together In daily life, to the greater hap
piness to both sexes, and without detri-
ment to either, and it is absurd to say
that they cannot do so with equal i'm
punity and with equal benefit during
their years in college,"
The Chronicle is in favor Of seeing the
doors Of the University open to both
sexes, and commends the action that is
being taken by the Confederation Of Wo-
mems clubs.

alaskan Military Reservation.

A Washington dispatch of the Goth
says the Secretary Of War will today
issue All order creating a military
reservation in that part of Alaska
lying within radius of fifty miles Of
st. Michaels. The purpose is to con-
fer upon Lieutenant-C Colonel Randall
the necessary legal authority to pre-
serve order and protect property in
this section of the country.
The department is making an ex-
animation of the geographical condi-
tons OF the country in the vicinity Of
the mouth of the Yukan, so as to OBJ
tain the data that will enable it to
prescribe exactly the boundaries of
the proposed new reservation, task
that is by no means easy in poorly
mapped country. 1t is also desir-
able to limit the reservation to the
smallest dimensions that will take in
st. Mlchaels as a center, and yet IN
clude the estuary of the Yukon,
where it is possible that lawless ele-
ment might gather il excluded from
the town itself.
The present laws of Alaska viii
continue to prevail over the lands
within the reservation, but the mill
tary officer in charge will have con-
siderably enlarged powers in che
matter of ejecting obnoxious char
acters. There will be little excuse
for the commission of lawless acts
bused on real necessity or starva lion
within the limits of the new reserva-
ton, for Secretary Alger has author
lied Lieutenant Randall. In command
Of the troops mt st. Michaels, not only
to feed the miners who may be in
actual need, but to ship them out Of
the country if they are unable to pay
their own way.

extraordinary that squad of deputy

over twenty Of them, and not a single
American was struck. The impression
evidently sought to be conveyed was
that Americans are not favored with
employment. / take the following

with reference to gold shipments from
Europe to New York: S1,OO0,OO0 en-

100000 by Lazzard Freres, 100000

is not an American in the gang, and
you may watch the shipments for a
year, and shoot at the shippers and
never strike an American. Yon may

monial suits proves ON abonts three oc-
casions out OF five to have been the hus-
band. Only 22o wives found occasion to
petition the court for release from the
bonds of matrimony, the. same applica-
ton having been madeby $50 husbands.
The occupations of those who passed
through the divorce court seem also
worthy of note. Clerks, curfously
enough, head the list of suitors in these
causes, though builders and carpenters
bracketed as equal run a very good sec
ond. There were 38 OF the clerks on
the cause list during the year in ques-
ton and 30 each of the two latter call
ings. Painters and merchant seamen
ard officers follow next with 81; SOL
diers and naval seamen with 10; farm
ers with 16; coachmen, cabmen and
carriers with Is, and commercial trav-
elers with IL. The professions, it is
rather surprising to find, come far be-
hind the trades. There are only ten
physicians and surgeons, five solicitors
and-miraibile dictu-two journalists.
The rear Of the list is brought up by a
solitary barrister.
