These tracks usually race during the win

Umpire Lynch's Decision in Yester-

Umpire Lynch gave yesterday game be

latter, alleging refusal to play on the part
of the Statesmen as the cause. New York
had scored nine runs and Washington none,
the same score by which it was forfeited,
when play was stopped.
Such a result / S always unsatisfactory to
everybody concerned, especially to the man

local lads will try to demonstrate that they
can play the game as it should be played
and strive to put the Giants to rout.

when such a story as this is by no

An intelligent man wrote to me- ask

charming girl who was graduated from

men. He loved her devotedly. During
the early years Of their married life he
sometimes grew weary of her continual
talk about her college. her foolish idea
that a woman couldn't be intelligent un-
less she was college taught and her

|ABOLlSHING FEMALE SLAVERY

Progress and civilization are making
great strides in the treatment and re-
gard in which women are being held in
some OF the so called civilized countries
of the old world. Whereas in former
times women have been regarded as
mere beasts OF burden and workers in
the interest OF their lords and masters.
now the old order is rapidly changing
and passing away.
II is still true however. that in many
cases, even in the most civilized coun-
tries, women are compelled TO fearful
drudgery. Witness the workers in the
coal mines of England. the women who
toll in the fields in Germany and the
Netherlands But these things are
passing away by slow degrees, and in
no case has so great a change been
wrought in a short time as in the little
country of Montenegro. in the Balkan
mountains. north of Turkey.
Hemmed in on all sides by the Otto
man empire. the little state preserved
for centuries all its social arrangements
intact. But now that it has finally
achieved independence and has been &C
knowledged as part of Europe its ruler
has time to turn his attention TO other
than purely warlike matters, and con-
sequently the changes which in Europe
have been the work of centuries are in
Montenegro being accomplished in
years.
