BUSY ENOUGH BEING A WOMAN.
Failure of the New Woman to Convert
Her Old-FashiOncd Mother.

1 uIhuNS VA 81 WV
Her Old-FashiOncd Mother.
An old woman, who has not kept up with
the sex onward march and has not changed
her old ideas as to- the Importance OF woman
in the scheme of creation, has come to spend
the winter with her daughter In New York,
| reports the Sun. The daughter is in the ad-
| vance guard of the t%riumphing host. She
| belongs to clubs for the study and promotion
| OF everything within sight except domestic
| tranquility. The fact that her mother did
| not belong to q club Of any sort was more
than she could bear with resignation, and,
| with her usual zeal Tor promoting, she de-
termined to. promote the happiness OF her
| mother by introducing her to the joys OF
club membership. "
She took her to meeting after meeting,
but the mother was hard to convert. She
| couldn't understand Browning and she dis
| approved of rainy-day skirts and principles,
and renaissance sculpture bored her and
| she rebelled outright against political sell
ence. Finally, however, she succumbed to
| her indomitable daughter and compromised
on a reading club in connection with q
! church guild. She didn't show much enthu-
| siasm and when, In the course OF q few

Now you Just take the carriage and go down
to the Astor library tomorrow. Get 'Poole's
Index and turn to the heading, Woman
and you'll be sure to And something along
your line"
The next morning the mother started for
the library with a melancholy look on her
usually placid face. Two hours later she
came back, and as she walked into the fam-
lily sitting room her daughter noted a chunge
in her appearance. There was a pink flush
In her cheeks, her lips were pressed firmly
together, her shoulders were squared, ag-
gressively. .

1t Is not generally known that there are
SO, 600 pensioners-confederate veterans. or
their widows or orphans-receiving support
from certain southern states. The aggre-
gate amount expended In this way each year
is about 81, 500, 900, making an average PEN
sion Of S42. The ratio Of the pensioners TO
the confederate soldiers who served In the
civil war is one 10 twenty. The states OF
Alabama, Virginia, North Carolina and
South Carolina appropriate about the same
amount each year for pension purposes. al
though there are more pensioners In Ala
hama than In the other three states.

OF a great organization which has other
and much better business"
a young negro broke into q Philadelphia
residence and sought refuge under a bed un-
III such time as he could ransack the house
without interruption. In that position he
was discovered by the lady Of the house,
VINO grabbed him by the foot, and, pulling
him out, cried for assistance. The negro
dashed down stairs and ran from the house.
But the up-to-date daughter of the estab-
lishment happened to be on guard. AS the
thief dashed out OF the house, much as
Cervera came out of Santiago harbor, the
female schley mounted her every-ready BIZ
cycle and gave chase. She didn't want to
destroy, however; her object was to capture,
and down the street they tore, the negro
afoot, the girl on the wheel gaining all the
time. At the end of the third block an
Admiral Sampson policeman steered UP and
the thief was run down and captured. The
point is this: Where was the girl to be
found ten years ago who wouldn't have
tainted at the sight of a burglar? Or, IL she
hadn't tainted, would she have ridden a
wheel, and with such speed and skill and
determination as this up-to-date heroine?
Many riders, after overhauling their
wheels or removing the nuts on the axles
for any reason, carefully put oil on the
threads before replacing the nuts, because
the threads have rusted a little and the nut
does not screw on easily. This Is a mis-
take, because when the threads are covered
with oil the nuts are apt to work loose.

evening missed a royal good time. The Bluffs

has denied, IN the course of an interview
that the change in the constitution of the
ministry would lnvolve any alteration in
the foreign policy Of Spain, all the new
ministers being in favor of prosecuting
the war with the utmost energy to the end
Spain" said Senor Capdepon, went
perilously near sacrificing her honor In the
interest of peace, only making a stand
when further concessions would have IN
volved her Disgrace and effacement as
a nation This she win never do, and In
this resolve the new cabinet entertains no
Illusions. II is aware that weakness and
poverty are opposed to strength and
wealth; but Spain is in the position OF a
duelist bound TO defend his honor against
these gross Insults of more powerful an
tagonlst, who, although he is convinced
that the result is almost certain death, yet
feels the force of the principle OF noblesse
obliae.
Spain prefers a possible defeat to a GER
tain disgrace. Ministers know that the
moral sympathtes Of the powers are with
Spain and that, while hesitating TO un-
dertake the responsibility for action which
might lead to a greater war, they may
eventually intervene from motives Of self
interest and public policy on behalf OF
Spain"

STRATEGY OF cERvERA NOT SEEMS
His Extreme sIOwness Places Him at
Disadvantage.

London. May 23-The Times this morn
ing. in an article reviewing the war, takes
it for granted that Admiral Cervera's
squadron coaled in Venezuelan waters
from four British golfers. 1t suggests
that the cruisers Nlzcaya and Infanta
Maria Teresa risked a disadvantage in
being reported there in consideration or
their ability to send dispatches to Gen.
Blanco and to then have rejoned the flag
ship at a prearranged rendezvous and TO
have arrived at Santiago on May 10.
The Times says: Even If 1t took
longer route to escape observation, Ad-
miral Cervera's force has been excessively
deliberate in its movements, and his fast
cruisers have not yet shown great speed.
His strategy, so much boasted at Madrid,
is not yet apparent. Possibly his move
ments are hampered by the torpedo boats,
but the extreme slowness of his ocean
steaming destroyed his chances of dealing
an effective blow at Key West at Tampa,
or against the b,ockading force, denuded
of its most efficient vessels by Admiral
Simpsons aborttve raid on San Juan de
Porto Rico.
"The high speed of the Spanish cruiser
squadron so far has not been turned to
Santiago may have some moral value in
assuring the Cuban garrisons that they
are not abandoned, no naval object seems
to have been attained The United States
commanders now know where the enemy
is and have had time to concentrate su-
perior forces and to cover their vulnerable
points"
ITO take the United States cruisers into
this harbor in face of a powerful fire from
Cervera would he a risky operation, but
torpedo hotilla, If It existed in either
fleet might find opportunities for effective
employment
IF Admiral Cervera succeeds in getting
to sea and obtaining coal he will undues-
tionably hamper the Cuban blockade. al
though he can have no direct advantage.
1t is evident that the monitors greatly de-
lay Admiral Simpsons s squadron. Such
an incubus imposes heavy disabilities upon
a modern fleet. and a fast squadron capa-
bic Of pursuing the Spaniards if they leave
the port Is urgently needed. Failing such
a force there appears to be no reason why
Admiral CerYera should not steam to San
Juan de Porto Rico. coal and go to sea
again before ne could be overtaken A re-
cent report confirms the existence of a
large quantity of coal at San Juan and If
Admiral Cervera can avail himself Of this
supply and leave behlnd his torpedo craft
he would be able to reach Charleston or
Savannah without difficulty
"A raid on either OF these points would
have no important results, but it would
gravely interfere with the operations of
the blockade"

Claims TO Have Fired the Shot TO

Save Her Husband.
San francisco, May 81. NJ. Williams
was shot and killed to-day at 2Oi9 Eagle av-
enue, Alameda. by Mrs. William Gregorie.
who admits the murder, but claimed that
she fired the fatal bullet to save the life
Of her husband The only witness of the
affair were Gregorie and his 6-year-oid
son.
They agree in the statement that about
II o'clock this morning Gregorie came
home and found Williams in conversat ton
with his wife. A quarrel ensued and, see
ing that her husband was no match for
his opponent, Mrs. Gregorfe took a pistol
and fired OF Williams with fatal effect.
The first news of the tragedy was
brought to the police station by Gregorie,
who ran IN covered with blood and stated
he had been engaged In a fight at his
home. Officers were sent to the scene and
on their arrival found Williams breathing
his last.
When the story Of the murder was first
told It was reported that Mrs. Gregorie in-
tended the shot for her husband, but this
statement cannot be confirmed
