ROSS HITS THE
 SCHOOL BOARD Says the Public Schools Cannot Help Being
 Corrupt. Woman Should Know More About the Kitchen Says Mrs. Sarah P. Carr. The wonnan's Congress Held It's Final Social Meeting Last
 Evening.

The womans congress, which has been in session for several days, held it's final social meeting last night. The election | of officers and the transaction of business will take place on Monday afternoon.
 The papers read both yesterday after noon and evening were of the greatest in terest and were the dessert of the confer ence A larger attendance than usual greeted the speakers and more enthu- siasm than has been shown this week was seen.
 Professor Ross of Stanford will never forget the insult offered a Stanford grad uate by some member of the San Fran cisco Board of Education if his remarks last night go to show anything. The sub ject of his address which he delivered be- fore the Womans congress was Gan We Escape the Growth of Social Distinc- tion?' He was mid until he came to the question of public schools. He said that he did not believe in sending children to public school if the private school were superior to it. How can the private schools help being superior said he, ito the public ones when such corrupt Board of Education is elected as in this city? Right here in this very city a Stan unless she paid $500 No wonder the schools are corrupt when you have such men in office.'
 Equality as an American Ideal'' was the subject which David Starr Jordan discussed to some extent. few remarks that. caused much favorable comment were: 'The greater number of people who die do not die from any disease but merely because they are too foolish to live any longer" This country is now get ting too large for any other country to touch; they do not want to interfere with us." Ending his remarks he said: We do not want to hold down our skylarks be- cause the chickens can't fly above the bushes"
 Mrs Sarah Pratt Carr spoke in the af- ternoon on the "DisintegratinS Forces of City Life. Mrs. Carr spoke for forty minutes, and during that time she was repeatedly applauded. In her address she showed that she thought that a woman's sphere was her home, that a womans mission was to be a good wife and mother; that to understand how to care for her house was the best knowl edge of all.
 Professor H. c. Babcock of the Univer- sity of California spoke on The Mission of the Social Settlements" He reviewed his life in the South Park settlement in this city, and seemed highly pleased with its progress. He told of the mission of the settlement and the good 1t did. He said that the idea was to remedy the present evil, and when the future comes along with it's misfortunes that another remedy would be applied to them

A WISE
 POI ICY

Intelligent men have long been convinced of the desir- ability of life insurance, but certain of them have thought it not wholly wise that con- considerable sum of money should be given into the keep ing of the members of their family who often are wholly inexperienced in the care of money and the value of in- vestments. Recognizing the sense of this contention I he Mutual Life of New York offers in it's Continuous In- come Debenture Policy a contract which provides a life income fer a surviving wife, and which also secures a like definite income to her children, and finally the re- version to them of the sum originally insured.
 It is an income-producing estate, and absolutely the safest asset a man can leave to those who survive him.
 The contract provides for the wife a life annuity of 5% on the total amount of the insurance, and at her death either an annuity of 3% con- tinued to the children or the payment of the entire princi- pal sum to the child or child ren named as residuary ben- efciaries.
 These are the simple, and, at the same time, the great advantages obtainable under this pledge of faith and se- curity of this great Company. Further privileges and addi- tiona1 benefits are included in the options of the policy, but it's great and important value consists in the interme- diary trust during the life of the wife and at her death the reversion of that trust for an- nuity purposes or the pay ment of the full amount to the surviving children.
 No contract containing such provisions can be had elsewhere which can offer any such intrinsic value. This is based on the vast re- sources and unassailab1e rec- ord of

The Republican Pressis coming to
the conclusion that Altgeld is still
governor in Illinois. Why shouldn't
it? A corporation has been actually
set down upon by the present incum-
bent and the Importation of undesir
able labor to take the place Of coal

in order for Gov. Tanner to be
Altgelded, by this class of literature.

Systematic speed.

A striking feature in the management
of the new underground London rail
way will be the decentralization of
speed. The entire length Of the line is
81 miles, the transit service being car
ried on by 80 trains of seven cars each,
the seating capacity of each train being
336 passengers. The average speed Of
the trains is to be IA miles an hour, in
Guiding 90 second stops at each station,
the maximum speed between stations to
be 80 miles an hour, the running at
first being on az minute Roadway.
Now, in order to obtain these speeds
with the smallest expenditure Of cost,
an interesting expedient has been re-
sorted to in the construction OF the tun-
nels-that is, instead of building it on
level or with constant grades from
station to station, the separate tunnels
which carry the tracks are run in a
series Of dips, the train upon leaving a
station Immediately starting down an
incline, so that gravity shall add to the
acceleration of it's speed. Each train
without the locomotive will weigh, it
is estimated, as many as 105 long tons,
and with the locomotive some 147 long
tons, but with the dipping tracks only
100 horsepower will be required for
each train. New York Sun.

A New Kind of Glass.

A French plate glass factory has
placed upon the market new article Of
considerable interest, called opaline. 1t
is vitreous mass, absolutely free from
metals, acid proof, of grayish blue
opal color and resembles artificial ice.
It is cast and rolled into large plates of
from So to 100 square feet surface area
and from one-half to y inches thick
Large surfaces can be lined with sin
gle plate without joint Besides its
incompatible hardness it possesses the
immense advantage over marble OF be-
ing acid proof and remaining perfectly
spotless. Like faience and porcelain, it
can be decorated with indestructible,
burned in colors 1t is produced usually
from even-sixteenths to ne-sixteenths
of an inch in thickness. The plates have
a smooth and rough surface, the latter
to render adhesion to mortar more sure.
For partition walls it is made smooth
on both sides.

Wisconsin Dairy School.

A new circular from the University
OF Wisconsin Dairy School, located at
Madison, Wis, is now being distribut-
ed TO those interested in this line of
instruction. A great many pictures
of the students and their work are
given in the circular together with an
outline of the opportunities afforded
by this school for dairy instruction.
Most of the 780 students who have at
tended the school during the past
factory operators who expect to COM
mence factory work in the spring af-
ter they have taken the three winter
months instruction. In the last class
there were 80 students who had posi-
tions guaranteed them before coming
to the school, and six of these had
their expenses paid by some one for
whom they expected to work at the
close of the term.
The school can accommodate 100
students and applications are already
being received for the next term
which begins Nov. 20 and continues
twelve weeks The daily work of the
student includes two lectures of one
hour each and four to six hours work
in the creamery, cheese factory or
paSteuriZing room.
No entrance examination is requir-
ed, but at least four mon tbs practical
experience in creamery or cheese
factory must be had before joining
US. In the last class there were 45
who had worked from four months to
in creamery; 80 had made cheese for

perienCeS.

Mrs. Ballington Booth, of '"The
American Volun teers," is writing out
her experiences in American prisons,
and in the slums of New York, for
The Ladies' Home Journal. Mrs. Booth
has perhaps come closer to the lives
and condolences of the men and wom-
en- in prisons, and to know the poor
better, than any woman living. She
will not only tell what she has seen,
but she will point out what her ex-
perience has shown her to be the
most effective way in dealing with the
people of the prisons and the slums.

four months to one year while % had
worked in cheese factory more than
one year. AS the creamery and past
curling departments of the work are
in operation during the entire year an
opportunity is then afforded for those
with no previous experience TO take
our factory pupil course and get the
necessary experience for entering the
winter term.
Last year the Board of Regents Of
the University reduced the fees for
resident students to 5000, while non
residents must pay $4,000 fees. $52 90
is an estimate of a students expenses
during the term.

NOVEL WINDOW WASHER.

A Practical Device With a Sprin-
king Hose Attachment.
In large city like Worcester, Mass,
it is a common thing to see man
washing the front windows, and the
rig here shown might easily escape
notice, but the writer observed it
in use at the Swedish Mercantile Co.
operative company on Laurel street, and
those who made and were using it
seemed highly elated with their inven-
ton.
It is like an ordinary long handled
window brush, but the handle is hollow
and has pipe running through it, to
