CAN EARN THEIR WAY IN LIFE
Practical Accomplishments Possessed by Noted
Women of Wealth in Gotham.

All rich women are not mere butter
llies, and there are many who are
adept enough to be able, if financial
reyerscs came, to earn their own way.
Elsie Clcws, daughter of the New
York millionaire, has just been ap-
pointed school inspector. To be sure,
she gets no salary, but the appoint
ment proves her ability. Miss Clews'
mother wished her to devote her time
to society, but the young girl insisted
on going to college, and has always
been interested in questions of the
day as well as afternoon teas and balls.
Helen Gould is first. class lawyer,
and were it not for the fact that she
has horror of masculine or push
ing woman would have made a sue
cess in some public career. She has
good business head, and often advises
her brothers OH some Wall street
tangle.
Mrs. George Gould, if disaster came,
could go back on the stage, where she
was popular, and command hand
some salary. She makes shrewd in.
vestments, it is said, with her liberal
pocket money.
Alta Rockefeller, by her fathers
wish, was taught the typewriter and
shorthand. Besides this, she could
turn to account her fine musical edu-
cation, and it is said she does teach
several young women of talent who
cannot afford to pay for lessons.
Mrs. Willie X. Vanderbilt, Jr., (Vir-
ginia Fair), and Mrs. Clarence Mackay
(kittie Duer) design their own gowns,
sending the modiste a rough water
color sketch. If need be, they could
make money by doing this for other
women.
Mrs. Herman Oelrichs is practical
cook, and could run a school of that
art. Mrs. Van Rensselaer, Cruger, wife
of a millionaire, is a hard working
literary woman; Mrs. Harry Payne
Whitney, who is n Vanderbilt, could
easily give lessons in fencing; they
say Mrs. Clinchsmith OF New York,
who was Bertha Barnes of Chicago,
can do coon songs better than May
Irwin, and Mrs. Russell Sage can
manipulate stocks with skill approx
imating her husbands.

SOME LITTLE KNOWN FACTS.
Which Show How Little We Know of Each
Other and of Our Country.

Only is per cent. of all the families
in America employ domestic help,
leaving 50 per cent. without even one
servant.
If all the dressmakcrs known to ex-
ist in America worked "a hours of
each day for whole year, without
stopping for sleep or meals, they would
still be able to make only one dress
apiece for less than seven-eighths of
the women OF America.
Not 6 per cent. of all the women in
America spend as much money as
fifty dollars per year on their clothes.
Out OF twelve million American
families the income of four million of
these families is less than $500 each
per year, and the incomes of nearly so
per cent. of the entire number are less
than 81 900 each per year.
There are scores of places in this
country where only one mail comes
every fourteen days.
Ask the average person where the
central point of area is in the United
States and he will fix it somewhere in
Illinois. Tell him it is nearer San
Francisco and he will be incredulous
until he remembers that Alaska is
within the boundaries of Uncle Sam.

Claims OF Goldbugs.

Goldbugs East and West have a
great way of turning good crops at
home and famines abroad to political
account. They ask:
You do not hear OF any more free
soup houses in the country, do you?
There is no industrial army clamoring
for bread in this region, is there? The
streets are not filled with idle men
who want work through which to feed
their families. are they?"
This, they contend, is an evidence OF
the beneficial results of the gold stand
ard. Had Bryan been elected and
free coinage established in this coun.
try, they say that the country would
have been filled with idle men clamor-
ing for bread and feeding on free soup!
If such conditions ever existed in
this country, it was the result of thirty
years of Republican misrule, relieved
at intervals by temporary CLEANS OF
prosperity, such as We are now enjoy
ing, resultant from conditions over
which the party in power has no con-
troll. Ii there have been trials and
tribulations, panics and financial
troubles, it has been due to the de-
mOnetization of silver by Republican
administration in 1873 more than to
any other cause.
The Hannaites have been claiming
credit for improved conditions for
more than year past. The whole
band know they are lying and that
they are trying to deceive the people"
Has not the Republican oracle OF Utah
said so?
Is it not a fact that save for
the misfortunes of other nations
beyond the seas which give to
food products fair price, our people
would be poorer than the Mexicans?
If this was so in October of last year,
what policies of the Republican party
have been put in execution within
twelve months to change conditions
that had been growing steadily worse
for thirty years9 Will some Republi'
can answer?

Beware Of Parting.

Bulwer, the novelist, writes refiec-
ton which will appeal to the sensibili-
ties of every man and woman:
"There is one warning lesson in life
which few of us have not received, and
no book that l can call to memory has
noted down with an adequate empha-
sis. 1t is this: Beware of parting!
The true sadness is not in the pain OF
parting, it is in the When and How
you are to meet again with the face
about to vanish from your view. From
the passionate farewell to the woman
who has your heart in keeping, to the
cordial goodbye exchanged with pleas
ant companions at watering-place, a
country house, or the close OF festive
days blitlm and careless excursion-a

Rich Mans Wise Rules.

Pat and the Parrot.

A parrot, in remote country dis
trict, escaped from its cage on the roof
of laborer's cottage. When it had
been there q little time the laborer
caught sight of it. He had never
seen such a thing before. and after
gazing in admiration at the bird, with
its curious beak and beautiful plu-
mage, he brought a ladder and climbed
up to it with the view OF securing so
great prize. When his head reached
the level OF the roof the parrot tapped
a wing at him and said: "What dye
want ?"
Very much taken aback, the laborer
politely touched his cap and replied =:
:" I beg yer pardon, sur; thought you
were bird"

How Can He Explain II?

If there is any doubt about the
fruitlessness and wasted efforts Of the
Otis plan of campaigning, the follow
ing statement by the Chicago Record
ought to settle it:
Fasig has been captured three
times and abandoned twice.
Quadaloupe has been captured four
times and abandoned three times.
Martiquina has been captured six
times and abandoned six times.
Canita has been captured twice and
abandoned twice.
Antipolo has been captured once
and abandoned.
Morong has been captured twice
and abandoned twice.
Santa Cruz has been captured once
and abandoned.
Pagsanjan has been captured once
and abandoned.
Longos has been captured once and
abandoned.
Paete has been captured once and
abandoned.
Novaliches has been captured twice
and abandoned twice.
San Mateo has been captured once
and abandoned.
San Jose has been captured once
and abandoned.
Augot has been captured once and
abandoned.
San Miguel de Mayuma has been
captured once and abandoned.
Mexico has been captured twice and
abandoned once.
Bacolor has been captured twice
and abandoned once.
Macabebe, the only town friendly
to the Americans, was taken and de-
serted and allowed to he burned BY the
natives.
Quinga was taken twice and aban-
doned once.
Guagua was taken once and aban-
doned.
"What sort of warfare is this?" asks
the Louisville Journal. "What
good does it do, at the cost of men
and money, to march out and take the
strongholds OF the insurgents if we
are Immediately to abandon them to
the insurgents? 1t would be as profit
able, and certainly less expensive, to
order Gen. Otis so pass his time by
sticking his thumb in the ocean and
taking it out again. 1t should be re.
membered that during the period
when our troops were capturing and
abandoning these towns, Gen. Otis
was assuring the authorities at Wash
ington that his force was ample, need
ing no additions. How can he ex-
plain this"

A retired farmer who had just re-
turned from a trip abroad, was boast

ing than he was quite equal to.
He said he had visited "the males.

banks of the Blue Leman."
"But, my dear friend" said his CON-
panion, "Lake Geneva and Lake Le-

"That 1 am we'll aware Of" returned
the undaunted narrator, but you will
allow Lake Leman is the more synony-
nous of the two"

Well Treated American Veterans.
Spokane Spoketman-Review.

For over quarter of a century the
veteran has been a popular hero.
Hundreds of millions are annually
paid to him in his old age, and the
widows have not been allowed to suffer.
Statues have been enacted in every
section of the North and West provid-
ing that all things being equal, place
shall be given to the man who wore
the blue. In spite Of all this there
are some Grabbed individuals who are
forever insisting that the veteran has
been shamefully treated. This, of
course, is nothing but rubbish, and
will be so taken both by sensible veter-
ans and the younger generation which
has followed them. No other country
on earth in ancient or modern times
has treated its war heroes as the
United States has treated her own.
