how far that harm will go before it Is
stopped. The woman loses her strength,
which is her only capital; she loses val
liable time; and If she marries. she trans
mits to her children whatever weakness of
constitution may have been developed in
her. II does not correct this evil, if the
mistress gives away in charity what she
saves by overworking her servant. Society
will be obliged TO pay more than that, some
day. to take care of that overworked woman
or her children. That sort of economy is
penny wise and pound foolish all the way
around 1t would be much better for the
family for the working girl, and for the
State if the housewife kept two servants,
or hired a part of her work done outside
and gave away no money at all. Her hrst
duty is to see that everyone in her house
and employ is as happy, healthy and good
as possible with the means at her COM
mand. If she allows her servants some
special privileges and spends little money
10 make them comfortable, while requiring
them to do their work well, she does good
in many ways. She helps the women in her
employ to make the most of themselves,
mentally. morally, and physically; she sets
good example to other housekeepers, VINO
will be quick to see that her house is well
ordered and comfortable; and she brings
UP her own children in ways which tend
to make them good citizens. II such house,
holds could become common, there would
be but little need of reformatories, prisons
and poorhouses, since the strong and clever
would support the weak and ignorant, and
there would be little incentive to crime.
And it may be added that this principle
holds true in the case of the business man
as we'll as the business mans wife.

The SleEcI Monopoly.
From the Chicago Post

,
Because Henry Siegel happens to be the pres-
dent OF a colossal department store we do not
think it follows that Mrs. Siegel should be per
mitted TO monopolize all the departments OF
advanced womanhaod. We do not believe she
has the right to little department store
in her own life. The morning papers tell us
that Mrs Siegel. not content with her ordinary
household and club duties, is a writer OF novels
and graduate Of the law class at New York
University. and add that as She is going to hang
out her shingle, at is thought that sh. may
have a line of literary work in view that could
be aided with clear idea of general law" From
our observation OF the situation there is only
one thing left for the lady TO do; she should
get q divorce from Mr.. Siegei and marry Hop
kinson Smith, who has mOnopolized all the
branches OF human industry which she has. as
yet. failed To cover. Then the firm would be
inpregnable.

A GIFT FROM FRANCE.
Commemorative the Laying of the
Franco American Cable.

An interesting ceremony took place yes
terday morning in the Blue Room OF the
Executive Mansion, when Ambassador Cam
bon presented to President Mckinley a
pair OF beautiful Sevres vases made espe-
cially for him by order OF the late Felix
Faure, President OF the French Republic.
to commemorate the opening OF the Franco
American cable. Ambassador Cambon was
accompanied by his entire suite OF attaches
10 the French Embassy. President McKin-
ley was attended by Secretay Hay and Of
fciais of the White House. The presen-
tation was made at IL o'clock. and was the
occasion OF the exchange Of compliments
by the representatives OF the two Republics
The gift is to the people Of America, and
the vases Will remain permanent fixture
in the Blue Room OF the White House
PREVIOUS to the ceremonies they were
placed in position. on either side OF the
southernmost window OF the room, on ped

When the Franco American cable was
| opened the first messages sent over the
wires was an exchange OF congratulations
between President Mckinley and Faure
TO commemorate this event President
Faure ordered these two vases made but
died before they were completed. Presi-
dent Loubet knowing the wish of his pred
ecessor. however. has carried out the plans
OF the lamented President.
On the lower part of the vases are two
gold plates. bearing the following inscrip-
tions, one in French and the other in Eng
lish:

Republic, to William Mckinley. President
OF the United States. in commemoration OF

The Danger From Trusts.

Mr. Thurber, who is at the head of
trust. has begun missionary work to con-
vince the people that trusts are a good
thing because they cheaper production and
lower prices and also lead to the employ
ment OF more people. That they lower the
cost of production is certain; that they in
crease the number OF men employed is
doubtful-indeed, the statement can be dis
proved. II is true that the price of oil is
less than IL was before the Standard OIL
Company completed its monopoly. How
far that is due to the trust is question.
But here is the point: The trust is In the
control of a few men, and when they have
crushed out all opposition, IL is in their
power 10 increase prices. They can afford
to lower them and still make larger profits
than were earned under the old system of
competition. They can afford to pay
higher wages. VIII they continue lower
prices and will they pay high wages? Why
should they? Because they have a con-
science? Now, 1t is the inyariable rule of
business that when for any reason there is
an increased demand for anything the
price is raised. The sellers charge more
because they can get it. What reason have
we to suppose that trusts will be more un-
selfish or will give 10 labor more than it
can exact in the absence OF competition?
The fact that few men have it in their
power to make more millions by raising
the price of an article is the danger. II is
TOO much power for few men to have.
We have no assurance they will not use it.
They do not organize trusts for benevolent
purposes. but to make money. They do not
pledge themselves to limit their profits to
a certain per cent. With their concen-
trated wealth. the profits that would belong

Gold in the Philippines.

A mining expert has been sent by a rich
syndicate in Utah TO look over the Philip
pine Islands with view TO working placer
and quartz claims. His reports have been
so favorable that already work in two of
the islands is projected and assured. He
has been over most of the ground in the
past six months and has located claims on
Palawan and Mindoro.
Mr. Hunter, the expert. describes the
yslue-mineral, agricultural. and marine
Almost every commercial metal except zinc
exists in paying quantities. There is no
doubt that gold. coal, copper. lead, iron,
silver, marble, kaolin. sulphur. mercury
and platinum can be obtained in great
quantity. In nearly every creek and in
the bed OF every stream he found gold in
the sand and gravel. In the island of Min
doro the deposit of gold is very rich, yield
ing many thousands of dollars to the ton.
In the province of Cayagan, Island of
I.uzon. the deposit is equal to that of Aus
tralia. while the quartz lodges are richer
than anything found in recent years.
The other resources are virtually limit
less. The manila hemp, coffee, ginger,
cassis. oamphor. guttapercha. pepper,
spices, betel, cocao. castor bean. cinnamon.
cotton. rice, tobacco. sugar. maize. all grow
wild and the indigo yield is enormous.
Then. there are the pearl fisheries, unsur-
passed in the quality and quantity of the
gems, mother f-pearl, coral, sponge, tor
toise she'll beche de mere, shellfish, etc.
How plentiful the pearls are Mr.. Hunter
indicates when he says he traded dollar
watch for a handful of medium size.
Nowhere in the known world is there so
great 4 variety of valuable products. and,
taking all into account, nowhere is there
the promise of as great riches as here.
This is the marvellous territory we are
asked to abandon that a small number OF
ignorant. indolent. treacherous, and half
savage people may undertake the ruinous
experiment of elf-government without
control or guidance. This is the precious
possession, capable of supporting in almost
unparalleled prosperity some twenty mil

many innocent lives was the work of in

possible that human creatures who are not

is incompetent. Mr.. Wakeman's friends
