AMAzoNIANoAPrAINs OF INDUSTRY

Women Who Successfully Manage Their
Own Affairs Are Becoming Common,
In the ten years from 1885 to 1895
Massachusetts, males who went into
business as partners or stockholders
showed an increase over the previous
ten years Of 500 per cent The Massa-
chusetts females who have thus enter

on the same basis an increase of 1917
per cent.
There is no reason to suppose that
the Massachusetts female greatly ex-

probabilities are that she is as a class

General Blanco, in command of the
Spanish forces in CUBA, is not allowing
any grass to grow under his feet, but, on
the contrary, he is liking advantage of

The Only Cure.

Eczema is more than a skin disease,
and no skin@remedies can cure it. The
doctors are unable to effect a cure, and
their mineral mixtures are damaging

The present war has already cost the
tax payers of this country about $780,
100000, and the lowest estimate for a
year is 5000, 900 900. The current ex-
penses of the government will amount to
about as much. This will make about
81, 200, 100000 which the people will have
to pay for government expenses for
single year. The owners of vast accu-
muIated wealth, however, Will pay but
little, and none if they can help It, so
that honest taxpayers will bear the bur-
den alone.

A WIDOW lady of Kansas City
started with her arms extended to
grope her way along a dark ball one
night recently to awaken her sons and
send them after a burglar who she
thought had just gone down stairs.
Suddenly she found that her arms had
passed over the shoulders and round a
the neck of man. She Rugged him
with the force of desperation and
screamed to such effect that the bur
gIar broke from her and ran away in
time to escape her sons. 1t takes a
neryy man to withstand a hug and
scream at the same time.

No woman who marries an old sol

pension after he dies. The old soldier
with comfortable pension has fur
nished inducements for many design

the law in force now, as his death does
not stop the pension. But this will be
changed under new law which goes

He cannot possibly know as much about
these matters as experienced officers VINO
might have been sent. In his party there
are several other Michigan men who,
according to the current gossip, know
as little about it as he. The prevailing
opinion is that this gang has gone down
there primarily to have an eye to the good
thlnSs that may be developed, though oS-
tensiby on important army business.
However that may be. it is certain that
Hecker Is down there now. and that he will
not come back until after the election. The
commission Will have no chance at him
until after that important event. All that
is good IS to be crowded before the com

for immediate use. The government of
Spain seems to have funds, for it is under
stood to be paying q large part Of the pur-
chase money in cash, giving good security
for the balance, these being the only terms
upon which the Armstrong; would deal. 3
Some weeks ago Spain attempted to
purchase ships and supplies in England on
credit from prominent firms having close
relations with the government, but, after
inquiries, the firms refused credit. Since
then Spain has raised funds from unknown
sources Diplomats in London express
the belief that French financiers are help
ing the Spanish government.
1t is known. that Spain is trying to pur-
chase three other ships being built by the
Armstrong;, but she has not yet succeed
ed in making the bargain, consequently
there is still time if the United States
wishes to forestall her.
