when girl has begun to develop these
tastes it is perfectly right that she should
dislike to mix intimately with those who
are offensive in their persons and their
talk. She does not like 1t any better than
would the lady who assumes to correct
her judgment. That lady would rather
die than work in factory all her life;
why should she demand that the high
school girl should choose that career?
But there is another side to this question.
Undoubtedly some of the girl graduates Of
the public schools are possessed with the
idea that all manual labor is degrading.
and that they ought not to be required to
do their own hOusework, If married. or to
help their mothers at home. This is a
false and wrong notion. but it is not in
culcated by the schools. Everyone knows
that children have their own public senti-
ment. which the teacher cannot always
correct and it is this class which is per-
meated with the idea that no lady does her
own work. The origin OF that notion is
rather difficult to ascertain. Sometimes it
comes from the home atmosphere of some
of the students

MIR. Cnrncgie's Philosophy.

Andrew Carnegie is out in an interview
in which he declares that trusts never
frightened him. and in which he aftirms
that he sold out his interest in the Car
negie Steel Company in pursuance of a
policy. long ago determined upon. not to
spend his old age in business. struggling
for the possession of more millions. AT
ter man is rich." he adds. "he should de-
velop dignified and unselfsh life"
The possession of immense wealth is
naturally conducive to peace and content
ment of mind and it is to be hoped that
Mr.. Carnegie will be spared many years in
which to devise philanthropic plans by
which he can dispose of some of his mi
lions to the best advantage. Few men
have been more wonderfully successful in
the financial sense than the former Pitts
burg steel manufacturer and even if he
disposes of his income alone he will be
kept busy finding avenues in which to en-
ploy it. Senator Depew, We notice.
is disposed to throw cold water on Mr..
Carnegie's philanthropic purposes. If a
man has an income of, say, seven millions
of dollars per year. it is not real philan
thropy to give away a million. To give
away five hundred dollars when ones in
come is twenty five thousand dollars
amounts to much more. and there's not
much self-denial in that. either. The wild
ow's mite continues to represent the real
philanthropy of the world"
All of which is true enough. but is the
world so full of benevolence that its dis
play in any direction is to be discouraged
or if not discouraged, at least, alluded to
in somewhat cynical vein Mr.. Carnegie
is imbued with the genuine philanthropc
spirit, and only praise can be extended to
him. if in his declining years he shows his
generosity On scale proportionate TO

Watson Succeeds Dewey,

The Navy Department has issued orders
de;aching Rear Admiral Watson from
command of the Mare Island Navy Yard
and ordering him to report to Admiral
Dewey at Manila, SO as to relieve that
officer when he desires to start for home.
1t is not known when the Admiral will
leave Manila, but it is assumed that he will
not start until the Philippine Commission,
of which he is member, has to some ex-
tent at least. completed its work.
The selection of Rear Admiral Watson
is an excellent one. if his long and credi-
table career in the service be index of his
worth. The task ahead of him in the
Philippines will be the more difficult be-
cause he succeeds man of Dewey's re-
splendent reputation. He will have the
choice of two flagships from which TO dis
play his pennant. the cruiser Baltimore and
the battleship Oregon being both provided
with quarters for a feet commander and
his staff.
Meanwhile it is to be observed that the
Dewey dinner plans are somewhat vague
and premature. The fact is becoming
recognized that what the Admiral chiefly
desires is to be let alone. Those who have
been planning all sorts of receptions to
him no doubt mean we'll. but not in all
instances do they display good taste.

A MESSAGE FROM THE DETROIT
Obliged to Leave Bluefields to Wire
Official Advices.

The Navy Department had a telegram
today from Commander Dayton of the
cruiser Detroit reporting the departure OF
the vessel from Colon, Colombia, for
Bluehelds. Nicaragua. Commander Day
ton found it necessary to leave Bluefields
in order to communicate with the Navy
Department. none of his messages from
that place having been received. At
Bluefelds he took on board Mr. Merry,
the American Minister to Nicaragua, who
had the same trouble in attempting TO
communicate with the State Department
Messages about the Bluefelds situation.
where American interests have been i'm
perilled by the actions of the Nicaraguan
government, were sent by the Minister and
Commander Dayton from Colon and Port
Limon, Costa Rica.
The Bluefields troubles are in fair way
of settlement through the agreement be-
tween Nicaragua and the United States to
turn over to the British Consul General at
Nicaragua the amount of duties to be paid
by American merchants at Bluefields un-
der pr\ \est. pending a decision as to
whether the assessment was just.

BIG DOCK FOR BALTIMORE.
A BASIN That VIII Hold the Cover
ment's Largest Warships.

n BnsiH That VIII Hold the Govern
ment's Largest Warshfps.
One Of the prominent callers at the
Navy Department yesterday was Harry G.
Skinner. OF Baltimore. Mr.. Skinner is at
the head Of a company which proposes to
construct at Baltimore one of the largest
drydocks on the Atlantic seaboard.
1t is to be capable of accommodating
not only the most powerful warships, but
the transatlantic liners.
While at the Navy Department, Mr..
Skinner held a long conference with Ad-
miral Endicott, Chief Of the Yards and
Docks Bureau, during which advice was
asked and much valuable information i'm
parted as to the advantages Of stone
docks over the timber variety. Admiral
Endicott was told that bids would be
opened tomorrow In Baltimore for the
dock. and that it was the company's in
tention to make II one of the most COM
plete basins in the country
This will be the only private dock CT
any size built OF stone. and will form q
most important addition to the series OF
docks along the eastern coast, where large
naval vessels may be cared for and re-
ceive repairs The new dock is to be not
less than 600 feet long. and to have suffi-
cient water over its sill to admit the
heaviest draught ships OF the navy.
The importance of such a dock to the
navy can be readily appreciated There
is not a private basin now in the country
where battleships may be docked. Upon
the completion of the new dock not only
will Baltimore be provided with facilities
for the largest merchant ships. but it can
readily undertake the most important re-
pair work for vessels of the navy. The
Navy Department will soon have in course
of construction two immense stone docks
dt the Boston and Portsmouth, n. H., navy
yards. The docks at New York and Port
Royal must in the meanwhile perform all
the docking duties required for the larger
warships-
One great advantage that the Baltimore
dock will have IL the presence OF an ex-
ceiient ship yard. where all classes of
naval repair work may be carried on ex-
peditiously and cheaply. The company is
understood to expect encouragement from
the Government. and will no doubt receive
liberal patronage.

A Survivor of Waterloo


Mrs. Barbara Moon, who lives at the
Kentish village Of Roivenden, says a Dover
correspondent, has an interesting history,
having been present as a child at the bat
ties of Quatre Bras and Waterloo. Her
father was a color-sergeant in the Third
Battalion. Rifle Brigade. She was born at
Gibraltar in March. 1911. christened at NAL
ia. and when her father after the PENN
sular War, went with his regiment to
Waterloo. the child and her mother ac-
companied him. Her father was wounded
at Waterloo and died from the effects. The
old lady Is now eighty Eight years OF age.
and has had eleven children. five Of whom
are alive. An extraordinary thing is that
up to the age of seventy she could not even
tell one letter from another, but she then
began to learn at Bible class, and can
now read with facility. She still retains
possession Of all her faculties, and has a
good memory. She says she remembers,
as they were leaving Waterloo in a bag
gage wagon. one of the spare horses fol-
lowing would put his head into her lap.

Chicago, May "a wireless telegraphy
dinner" will be given by the Northwestern
Association Of the Massachusetts, Institute
of Technology at De Jonge's restaurant on
the evening of May 16. The special feature
will be a demonstration of the workings
of wireless telegraphy similar to the sue
cessful experiments of the Marconi sys-
TEN given by Prof. J. ]. Green, of Notre
Dame University.
L. B. Dixon and Gerard Swope, of the
Western Electric Company, will be the
demonstrators, and they will endeavor to

ary. when toasts were responded to Gver
the wires from Boston, New York. Phila-
delphia, st. Louis, and other cities, has
not been forgotten. and it is hoped to cx-
coed that as a scientific success.
The association has in contemplation in
the near future a liquid air banquet, at
which will be made a practical test of
running small engine similar to the
demonstrations given in New York city by

.Thc Curse in Educat,0u.v

In a recent number Of the North Ameri-
can Review appears a vigorous attack
upon the public school system, under the
title The Curse in Education" Mrs. Re-
bacca Harding Davis. the writer of the ar
ticle, declares that the young women of the
present generation will not cook or wash
or enter the trades, because they have re-
ceived smattering of education which
they cannot use. This state of things she
attributes wholly to the influence of the
public schools. Referring to boys and girls
alike. she says:
They have Just enough education to make then
loathe and despisc the work on which they must
depend for their livelihood.
The public school system is bad enough
In some of its features, as every thought
full person must see, but. after all, II may
not be the only cause OF the false ideas
which prevail amcng foolish young people
In the old days of the country academy,
boys and girls were taught Latin. Greek,
history. literature. and all the other things
included in the modern high school curri-
culum, but it did not unfit them for work.
In summer vacations they usually worked
on the farm or in the kitchen just as they
did before going away to school, and
often their labor was all the more valua-
BILE for what they learned there. The
academy girl acquired new ideas for home
dressmaking, and new recipes for her
mothers cookbook. and the academy boy
took particular pride in showing the youths
of the neighborhood that he could pitch
hay with any of them, if he had studied
Cicero. Here and there. of course. was
graduate who looked upon all manual la
bor with scorn. but in that case the de-
linquent one was usually punished by the
derision of the community.
There is something besides general edu-
cation at the bottom of this dsnclination
for work. and 1t is not a bad symptom,
either. In certain parts of the country
factory labor is monopolized by an ignorant
and degraded class of foreigners, and girl
In whom the refined instincts of lady
have been partially developed may be ex-
cused for not caring to be brought into
close association with coarse and rude
men and women. When the ignorant peas
ant entered the field of domestic service,
some forty years ago. the self-respecting
American girl went out of it. She did not
wish to take place as cook or housemaid
when she might be obliged to share her
room with a dirty. ignorant, and coarse
minded woman. and would be shut up to
the society Of this woman during practi-
cally the whole day. and the evening as
well. Even the farmers daughter. used
to the hardest manual labor and to the
rude. but wholesome. society Of the farm,
shrank from that association. So the for
foreigner monopoliEed the field. Now the
same thing is happening in the factories
and the trades.

Stop the JunkeiinE Trips.

There is a disposition to restrict. SO far
as possible, the summer junketing trips of
army and navy officers at the expense of
the Treasury. The mileage fiends' In the
army are quite numerous. and they have
enjoyed degree of freedom of late which
has had the effect of directing public at
tention to their doings. The other day a
decision was rendered by the Assistant
Comptroller of the Treasury which, If rot
overruled, will certainly have the effect Of
curtailing perquisites. 1t was decided that
an engineer officer. travelling within his
own district, in the prosecution Of his
duties. was entitled only to remuneration
for his actual expenditures, and not at the
rate of seven cents mile, as if making
journey to some new station.
The extraordinary amount of inspection
done by all War Department officials, from
the highest to the lowest, is a fragrant
abuse that should be stopped, more espe-
cially as there is reason to believe that
the inspections are of a character which
do not inspect. 1t ought not to be Leces-
sary to pass any new laws to restrict It.
Weary brains in the War Department are
more numerous. probably, than In any
other branch Of the Government service,
but there is no imaginable reason why they
should be rested at the public expense,
and that, too, at a grossly extravagant
rate.

cowH1DED THE TOWN MAYOR
Methods of a MilIiner to Resent Al
legged Slander.

Bellefontaine. Ohio, May 9.-Miss Minnie
Crawford, proprietor of large millinery
store and a popular young society leader.
caused great excitement here yesterday
morning by publicly horsewhipping Mayor
John R. Cassidy before an immense throng
OF men. women. and children, who seemed
to enjoy the incident hugely.
Miss Crawford was noticed several times
lingering about a certain street corner. and
when the mayor. coming down to business.
passed, she darted after him with a cow
hide appraised, drawn from the folds of a
black dress. You have blackened my
character" she screamed: you have ruin
ed my business." and down came the whip
in stinging cuts across the mayors fSce
and shoulders, who seemed petrified with
astonishment.
After enduring the reign of blows as
long as possible His Honor sought relief
by darting into a neighboring drug store,
the woman following, plying blow after
blow upon him until the whip broke in
two. Then coolly wiping her face with
handkerchief and throwing down the
cowhide she walked unmolested out and
up the street.
A short time ago wide-open and ques-
tionable resort was raided by the officers
here and the proprietress. well-known
woman. arrested and convicted. To every
ones astonishment Miss Crawford receiy-
ed a summons to attend the trial as a wit
ness. being charged with frequenting the
house, but on attending the courtroom,
with her lawyer. for some reason she was
not allowed to testify.
Miss Crawford this afternoon was coolly
attending to business. She said: This
man has DETAINED my good name and ruin
ed my business. AS I have no money to
go to law 1 have taken the only course
left to woman to justify herself" Miss
Crawford came here about a year ago from
Wapokeneta, where she is well and favor
ably known. She is handsome brunette
and immensely popular.
