The political bosses of Chicago are
wondering what they are going to do
with Jane Adams. She is the found
eT Of Hull House, which has been run
ming for nine years. and during this
time the worst ward in the city has
been, if not transformed, at least con-
siderably improved. Clubs for the study
Of history. physics. and literature.
mothers meetings, study of the duties
Of citizenship, recreation, social life
and some religion of the best type. are
to be found within the walls of Hull
House. and il has been a sort of filter
from which flowed a steady stream of
purified life. Its influence has been to
elevate the morals and enlighten the
political thinking of the community,
and the ward politicians who formerly
held that bailiwick i'm subsection are
finding their task more difficult, and
likely in the near future to become al
most impossible
Something like this has been done
by the College Settlement in New
York, which carries on the same work
with notifications to suit the locality.
In both these institutions people Of ali
nationalities, creeds, races, and social
grades are welcomed as workers: and
in both institutions the workers take
no interest in politics as politics. For
that very reason these independent
and useful people have gained an in
fuence. They cannot be bought or in
Inundated: they use their influence
where they choose, as they choose, and
as much as they choose, and it is all
in the direction Of making intelligent
voters and honest men and Women.
The boss whose power depends on the
ignorance of his followers is terribly
hampered by this sort Of thing
This is the kind of work for which
women Of executive ability are pecul-

any talent may find scope, and there

not always agreeable, but neither is
political work, and in no line of politi-
cal work may one hope to make the
friends and earn the gratitude which
is found in this. And as has been prov
ed in both New York and Chicago, the
women who have gone into this work
have effectTally and emphatic ally done
something toward purifying politics.

Hartford, Ind. Feb. 23.-Dr. Nelson d.
Clouser was over ninety when he wed six

together $1GO00O, and he was known to

extensively. and gave her liveried ser
wants, carriages and horses. All went
well until the young wife began to con-
tract bills. When they began to come in
the aged spouse looked surprised: then he
protested; then he countermanded or
ders; then he repudiated accounts.
There was an estrangement. Mrs.
CIouser went TO her home i'm Muncie on a
visit, which lasted some time. She re-
turned to her husband at his solicitation.
but the old quarrel broke out afresh and
again she went to the home of her par
ents. DIR. Clouser then settled all out
in the local papers to the effect that he
would no longer be responsible for debts
his wife might contract. This. of course.
brought matters TO a climax. and Mrs.
Clouser again went to Muncie.
Now the old doctor lives alone in his
deserted bird cage. 1t is said that he is
not only angry at his wife's extravaganza
but jealous of her attentions to younger
men.

RABIES IN LOS ANGELES.
Hyd rOphohia Prevalent and the Au-
thorities Alert to Prevent It.

Los Angeles, Cal. Feb. 23.-Every vag-
abOnd canine or untagged dog of high or
low degree found roaming the streets of
the city is now considered the dog-catch-
er's meat.
That rabies exists to an alarming ex-
tent in and around the city is no longer
disputed. Almost daily cases of dogs
running mad and biting other animals or
human beings are reported. OF course
such reports are usually exaggerated, and
the number Of real cases OF hydrOphObia
is far less than would be judged by ru
mors in circulation but the fact remains
that there is sufficient cause for taking
extra precautions against this dangerous
malady.
Until quite recently many citizens and
even medical men and veterinarians were
fain TO believe that no such thing as "a
bies ever existed in Southern California.
This belief has been proven 10 be falla-

The Mothers of Our Presidents.

(From the Youths COmpaniOn.)
DR.. Talcott Williams, of Philadelphia,
has made an interesting summary of the
lives of the mothers of our Presidents
Eleven of them. or nearly half of the
number, were IN easy circumstances, be-
longing to families of education and gen.
tie breeding; the other half of the num-
Der struggled with poverty and hard
ships more or less severe. The lives bar
est of comfort or softness were probably
those of Jackson's and Lincoln's mothers,
who were pioneers in the West, and lit
orally struggled for the necessities of life.
Some of these women were unlettered,
and perhaps narrow and bigoted. Some
were of the fairest fruit of American civ
ilization. But DIR. Williams calls atten-
ton to the momentous fact that ALL
without exception. were godly and de-
vout women.

Notes of the Dav.

All through the dark and dismal days
Of his mission in Havana, Fitzhugh Lee
has been cheerful, active, and as calm
as if he were at a watering place having
a good time Nervousness and panic are
things Of which he is incapable. Fear. of
course. is about the only thing Of which
he is completely ignorant. Time and
again his judgment has been demonstrate
ed in connection with the eNigencies Of
his delicate and dangerous mission. 1t
therefore means something when a man
like Gen. Fitzhugh Lee tells Americans
to get out of Havana. When he says
that they should break their necks TO act
upon the suggestion. Not to do so would
be deliberate and willful suicide with fell
onious intent. The walls must be pretty
hot when he is getting ready to leave. as
he must be, or he would not begin to de-
port his charges. BY tomorrow it is prob
able that all Americans except the consul
general and half a dozen newspaper cor
respondents viii have left the city. Most
Of the latter viii come home with Gen.
Lee.

A NEW POLITICAL PARTY.
The Organization Is the Outgrowth

New York. Feb. IA new municipal
party will be entered in the political field
tonight. and it's leaders will begin a work
which they believe will eventually give

The organization is the outgrowth Of

manent organization was needed-if it
was. how il had best be formed.

favor of permanency. and. after meeting
two or three times a week for the past
two months. has selected an executive

The Citizens propose to go farther than

The membership is to be by assembly

Modest Mr.. Harrison.

FTom the Youths Companion.l
We have all met the man who. in attempting
to introduce a public speaker. apparently mis-
conceiyes the situation and thinks that it is him
self rather than the, he is introducing who is
to make the speech Of the evening. This man IS
not confined 10 any special locality. Expire ;dent
Harrison tells a good story of Just such person.
He says:
''0nce in Southern Indiana. in a campaign,
was told there was a gentleman holding the au-
dience for my arrival When VIC came down to
the platform and the little stir that was made
advised the speaker of my presence, he turned and
said:
a. The distinguished orator who is to address us
is now present. and must bring my remarks to a
close
However. il not convenient for him to
close just then, and he went on After half
hour he reminded that I was there, and he
again reminded the audience in turn, that the
distinguished orator was present, but still he
had not found fitting place to close.

humor Of the situation got a hold OF me- and

enee of their mothers upon their lives
than TO that of their fathers. More than
half. indeed. were left fatherless in boy
hood.
The conclusion to De drawn from these
significant resemblances in the lives of
the Presidents is that the qualities given
to a man by the love and daily training
of a sincere, God-fearing mother are
those which command the trust Of other
men. The nation has not. perhaps, chOs-
en- its most brilliant or possibly its most
able men to be its chief rulers But il
has never chosen a man. from Washing
ton TO Mckinley. whom the majority Of
the people did not believe to be honest
in character.
The higher education" which the
mothers of our future Presidents are re-
ceiving today will enable them to give
TO their children a broad culture along
lines of mental requirement Of which
Mary Washington and Nancy Lincoln
never heard or dreamed. But let them
not ignore the honesty and simple reli-
gious faith which these women gave TO
their sons, and by which they were made
steadfast in principle. and held the con-
fidence of the country in its hours Of
direst need.

MEN OF THE AMERICAN NAVY.
Capt. Mahan's Tribute to the Sail
ors of the Manner.

OGs III Tue
Princeton, n. J., Feb. 22TThe dinner
of the Society of the Cincinnati of New
Jersey, was held at Princeton Inn last
evening. Among those who spoke were
DR.. T. NJ. Cheeseman, President Patton,
DR.. C. w. Shields. William Potter. ex-
minister to Italy; William b. Hornblow-
err, and Capt. A. T. Mahan. L. S. N, re-
tired.
DIR. Patton, in his address, thanked the
society for electing him a member. In
speaking of the present crisis. he said
that the public should remain cool and
await the result of the investigation
which the Government could be relied
upon to make. He said he hoped TO see
the day when the two great English
speaking nations of the world could stand
side by side against common foes. He
believed the day would come when all
differences would be settled by arbitra-
ton. and he hoped that day would soon
come.
Capt. Mahan was cheered as he arose
to speak. He paid a glowing tribute TO
Capt. Sigsbee as a man and an officer.
OF the men of the Maine he said they
were worthy of the commander they had,
and that was saying a great deal. Ihe
actions of the survivors of the Maine.
both officers and men, showed the careful
training they had received. Their self
possession and presence of mind under
the horrifying conditions that existed
that night showed perfect control and
discipline The self-control shown in the
midst of a sudden and terrible danger, of
which not one OF the men on board knew.
showed, to his mind. that in battle. with
known dangers about them and expecting
every minute the fate that might over
take them, the fellow-sailors of the men
of the Maine would stand To their guns
and their ship to the last. 1t was evil
dent that the old naval spirit existed. and
that the sailors of the new navy were as
good as those which manned the old
time ships. The display of GOODNESS and
courage was worth the loss of the ship,
but not the loss of life. That was some
thing for which nothing could atone.
