The merry war is on in Oakland,
California, society ove the cold young
man" as he is called in that place.
This individual is characterized by
having passed the period OF impul-
siveness and having acquired enough
of this worlds goods to make him
eligible. But here his merits end for
he refuses to propose. He is a being
OF predatory and rowing instincts and
his habit is to fit from bud to bud,
whispering tender nothings and risque
stories into the ears OF each trembling
debutante. In short he is a Brigham
Roberts in spirit, but marries not at
all. So the Friday Night Cotillion
Club was organized for the purpose oil
either turning him down or reforming
him. The Friday Night is the pro-
ponent OF the young, green and i'm
pulsive college man. lie will propose
and what il he be ineligible, can a
girls education be complete without
offers OF marriage? Every girls school
should be equipped with a Chair OF
Proposals with an able corps OF dem
o~nstrators and assistants, where the
finishing touch would be given to
education.
The wilful bachelor, however, is not
without his adherents, as is dem
onstrated by the organization of the
Fortnightly Club, with the avowed
intention of excluding the "kids."
Pleasure, irrespective of proposals, is
its ostensible object, but there is no
doubt that the still, small voice OF
woman's self confidence whispers to
each female member OF the Fortnightly
that she will land one OF these wary
bachelors.

Admiral Dewey last week decided to
his wife the house in Washington that
was given him by public subscription.
Mrs. Dewey in turn transferred the
property to Admiral Dewey's son,
George Goodwin Dewey. No reason
can be as~certained for the Admiral's
action, but a story is circulated that
previous to bis departure for the
Asiatic station he became entangled
with a woman by the name OF Mrs.
Fora Kent, a clerk in the New York
City p~ostoffice. 1t is limited that she
will bring a breach OF promise suit
against Dewey. Mrs. Kent, however.
denies the statement and says sue
does not even know Dewey.
Much indignation has been express
ed in Washington owe Dewey's
transfer of the house, and many OF the
contributors to the Dewey Home Fund
are demanding the return of their
money. At biograph exhibition in
Washington Monday evening the pic
lures of Mckinley, Bryan, Schley and
Sampson were cheered, while q like
ness OF Dewey was Kissed.
When Dewey inspected the house
he expressed the wish that the furni-
ture be left in the house as it was.
X. +. Fitch, then owner OF the house
and furniture, consented to this. 1t
is said that last Friday Mrs. Dewey
had the whole lot sent to the auction
rooms to be sold. On hearing this
Fitch sent a curt note to Dewey, asking
him to name a price for the lot and
offering to buy it in at private sale,
as it had a sentimental value to him
from having been selected by his dead
wife. The furniture was Immediately
withdrawn from public sale.
Admiral Dewey speaks of the affair
in a manly, straightforward way. He is
deeply grleved by the construction that
has been put on his action and spoke
of the matter with tears in his eyes.
He says he considered the house a
free gift from the American people and
that the deciding OF the property to
his wife was a graceful act that any
gentleman might perform. He says:
"When | accepted this house | thought
it was a gift. l did not know that the
people who contributed the money to
buy it gave it to me with a string tied
to it or l should never have taken it.
/ owe a great deal to the American
people, and perhaps the American
people owe something to me, but thank
God, the American people don't own
me and | am still independent"

MORE PRACTICAL
EDUCATION NEEDED.

Washington Post: The free schools
do not turn out more desirable citizens
than they did when the curriculum was
simplicity itself. The general tone OF
society has not been elevated by
stuffing children with moral philos-
ophy and international law, geology,
the higher mathematics, chemistry
astronomy, and the rest of it. So far
as we can see, in fact, the most con-
spicuous result OF the arrangement has
been to flood the country annually
with thousands OF young people OF
both who know nothing which
they can turn to practical account and
who have learned just enough to make
them discontinued with their station
in life.
The real question is whether the
State should instruct the children Of
the individual beyond the point at
which they are enabled to read and
study for Observation-Disclosures it
should confer an elegant and liberal
education upon millions OF young
people who have no sort of use for it.
We think not. We state without fear
OF successful contradiction that every
nan or woman in the world to-day
who knows anything out of which
fortune or repute can be made learned

leaving school.

THE SOUTH AFRICAN WAR.

The late dispatches from the war
in Africa show that little is known by
the war correspondents OF any serious
recent battling between Briton and
Boer, il there has been any. Large
bodies of troops are being massed at
various points and heavy battles are
daily expected. There has been no
confirmation of the alleged victories of
the British over the Beers at Lady
smith and other points, and the anthem
ITCHY of the dispatches is doubted.
About IS, 900 OF General Buffers army
have now arrived at Cape Town.

HE NEEOED PRAYERS
According to Commissioners Re-
port in Urso Case.
Because Sho Talked Religion TO
Him-Music Instruments as Ornn-
mcnts-Other Court alntters.

Mr.. Robert W. Shultice, special COM
missioner in chanccry to determine the
amount of alimony to be paid in the
case Of Mrs. Clara Urso. of Washing
ton, d. c.. by her husband, Professor
+. y. Urso. of this city, filed his re-
port in the Court of Law and Chanccry
yesterday and Judge Martin issued Il
decree in accordance Herewith. The
courts decree requires Professor Urso
to pay $50 each month as alimony to his
divorced wife.
The report of Commissioner Shultice
in the alln:cny case is interesting. The
commissioner states that Professor
Urso's earning capacity was from $50
to 500 a month. The report further
contains the following rich matters:
He claimed that he earned less
money Cow because people here take
less interest than formerly in music.
He admitted. however. that the num-
Der of music instruments now in Use is
greatly in excess of former years. From
this it wou!; seem that people must
now purchase instruments for show and
not for use. He gave no reason
for leaving his wife, except the great
anxiety she manifested about the SAL
walton of his scill. and repeatedly stated
it as his chief grievance. indeed as his
only grievance, that she talked religion
TO hiiu; yet from his letter dated Au-
gust %. 1892, he seems TO be a very
proper object for the prayers of a good
WIFE

ployed Wilmington to complete the en-
tire job, and left 1t entirely to him, and
to his judgment. as TO how the work
own methods in performing the work;
neither the city nor its officers reserv-
ing the right to make any suggestions
as to how II should be done. He hired
all the hands and teams. and kept an
account of the expenses. and when the
job was completed the city paid all the
expenses. and paid Wilmington So
much per day for each day he was en-
gagged on the job. II is commended that
because Wilmington was paid by the
day this destroys his character as an
independent contractor. 1t has been held
that the fact that u contractor is paid
by the day does not necessarily destroy
the independent character of his en-
ployment. II Wilmington. in the course
of his occupation. represented the will
of the city only as to the result of the
work. and not rs to the means by which
he performed it. he was an independent
contractor.
The contract. as shown by the record.
under which Wilmington engaged to
complete the work. left the city with
out the right to direct how the work
should be done. or what means should
be used in performing it. Ii may be
that the terms of Whittington's con-
tract with the city was not fully de-
veloped in the trial court. AS shown
by the record on this appeal. the evil
dence was insufficient to support Il
judgment against the city of Groesbeci1
This holding makes It unnecessary to
discuss the other assignments of error.
