BERMUDA WOMEN.
Peculiar Laws Which Apply to Them
as Property Holders.

Peculiar Laws Which Apply to Them
as Property Holders
There are, perhaps, larger number
of spinsters in Bermuda in proportion
to the population than in any other
place on this side of the Atlantic, and
it is curious fact that this is the law
of the land.
The semi-tropical climate of the
islands and their isolation have made
of the inhabitants of English stock a
quiet, almost sluggish folk of a sim
plicity nearly Arcadlan. The women,
especially, many of whom live very
| narrow lives, never leaving these
islands, are remarkable for their old
fashioned hospitality and a natural
ease of manner which seems to rise
| from an entire faith in those with
whom they come in contact. Perhaps
the fact that it would be very difficult
| for criminal to escape from the ISL
ands may account for 1t, but, at any
rate, crime is very rare there.
| Bermuda women are excellent house
wives and bring up large families of
| children, some of the most favored
young folk being sent to the United
| States for educational advantages. In
matters of etiquette they are far more
strict than Americans. AS a rule, they
are Well-to-do, and live comfortably,
while some of them possess ample
| means and enjoy much luxury. In
Bermuda, as in England, property, es-
pecially real estate, remains m the
same family for long periods, and some
| of the descendants of the first settlers
| still possess lands which have never
passed out of their families. 1t is just
| this conservatism about property
which causes the superabundance of
spinsters. No alien can acquire a title
to land in Bermuda, either by pur-
| chase or inheritance. This is chiefly a
precautionary measure against the
| Portuguese who flock to the country
and go in largely for onion growing.
But the law provides that If a woman
marries a foreigner she shall lose her
landed property, and shall also become
incapable Of inheriting any. This law
| is naturally not popular with the wo-
men, who see their brothers mate with
Americans and other aliens, and would
| fain have the same liberty. Occasion
! ally Bermudan girls renounce their
birthrights for loves sake, but, as a
rule, the charms Of penniless maidens
are not sufficient for young men to de-
sire them for wives and thus many
girls are doomed to single bleessedness
in Bermuda simply by the law of the
| land-Boston Herald.

MR.. GLADSTONE AS sIGNALMAN

MR.. GLADSTONE AS SIGNALMAN.
During Mr.. Gladstone's illness the
Irish express going to Holyhead was
several times stopped at Sandyford in
order to put down the doctors. There
is a Hawarden tradition related by the
London Daily Chronicle, to the effect
that Mr.. Gladstone once stopped this
express by pulling the signal against
it with his own hand. The narrative
is that Mr.. Gladstone had been hurried
ly summoned south by the Queen. He
drove over to Sandyford-the date is
supposed to be years and years ago
and asked the official there to have the
train stopped. mo. sir" was the
timorous reply, IT cannot stop the
Irish express without orders, and as
she is almost due, there is no time to
telegraph for Them "Well," quoth
Mr. Gladstone, Il understand your
position and appreciate it. But in the
interests of the nation l must get to
London with the least loss of time
Therefore shall take the responsibility
of stopping the train myself" With
that he went to the lever and pulled
it, saying: I'm the Queens name"

OBJECT TO CHINESE CREWS.
Local Labor Council Making Investi. gations-Varnishers and Pol

An effort is being made by the execu- tive committee of the San Francisco La bor Council to affix the responsibility on the individual or firm who employed the Chinese crews that manned the trans ports China and City of Para on their trip to Manila. Up to the present their investi- gations have proved fruitless owing to the fact that no one seems to know. In their report last evening to the council the chairman stated that Inspector of Hulls and Boilers Bermingham was un- able to enlighten the committee on the subject and that communications were re- ceived from the War and Navy Depart ments which in effect denied knowledge in the matter. The investigation will cor, tinue as 1t Is the unanimous opinion of the delegates that 1t is unhealthful ana highly dangerous to send out transports manned by such a crew.

REWARDED BY THE GANG FOE
 POLITICAL WORK.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

SAN JOSE, July s.-The promise that administration" is not being carried out by the City Council. There is a leakage of s10o per month in the office of City Clerk Cook. This is the month- ly salary paid to John Varcoe, who is supposed to be revising the city ordi- nances, when in reality he is nothing but deputy of that official. The en- ployment of Varcoe has been kept a secret, and no one but the officials about the City Hall Is supposed to know that he is employed there.
 Varcoe's position is a sinecure, and was given him as a reward for politial work done for the Req gang. When the new charter created the position of Secretary of the Police and Fire Com mission Varcoe bobbed up for the place. The gang stood by him and he was programmed for the secretaryship. Mayor Martin refused to have Varcoe as his secretary and appointed his son, Hippolyte J. Martin, one better quail fled in every way for the duties. The gang were inclined to insist on Varcoe having the secretaryship, but the threat of Mayor Martin to break the entire slate arranged by Req quieted affairs. The Mayor told them point blank that his son must have the place or he would refuse to appoint Morrison as Street Superintendent and Beasly as City Attorney. Then the question -of providing for Varcoe came up, and 1t was decided to put him in the City Clerks office.
 Before the recent city election the people were promised that expenses would be reduced. and especially in the City Clerks office. The collection of the city taxes was transferred to the County Tax Collectors office, and it was said one and perhaps two clerks in the Clerks office would be dispensed with. Instead there has been no cur tailment. City Clerk Cook denies that Varcoe Is a deputy of his, but never theless that worthy does part of the Clerks work.

WASHINGTON, July S.-A large share of the days cabinet meeting was con- sumed in the reading and discussion of the new tariff schedules, to be put in operation in the Philippine Islands as soon as our forces shall have taken possession of Manila. The formal announcement by the President of his purpose to collect the customs revenues of the Philippines as a war IastD ad pee m bor n ana was referred to the Secretary of State, to- gether with the schedules for final exam ination. It is probable that the Presi- dents declaration will be issued within the next two or three days. and possibly to- morrow. As soon as approved the sched- ules will be given to J. F. Evans of San Francisco. a customs expert, who will pro- ceed to Manila, and as soon as practica- ble after our forces occupy the city put them into effect. The general direction of the matter however, will be In the hands of General Merritt the military governor of the islands.
