Lot was Abrahsm's nephew. Many are
the nephews who are indebted to an

This was sinful choice: because it

of Letter Carriers

The postmaster general has issued
general order announcing the deter

for the registration of valuable letters
or tirst-class matter by letter carriers
on their routes in free-delivery cities.
This new service win be inaugurated
in some Of the leading cities and ex-
tended to others as rapidly as possible.
At first it will be confined to the purely
residential districts, excluding bust
ness houses and individuals, who have
a large number Of letters for re@istra-
tion at any one time. The extension
of the system to the business districts
is left to the sound discretion of the
postmaster.

Information that soSle postmasters and
employees, in order to avoid the labor
involved, are advising the public that
the registered mails are not safe

disregard of duty will be sufficient

FOE OF NEW WOMAN.
st. Paul Preacher Who Declares
Against Employment of Women.
Thinks the World Would lie better
on If All the Women Were
Turned Out of Their
Jobs.

Rev. S. G. Smith, pastor of the Peo-
pies church at st. Paul, Mimi, who
has charge of the department of soci-
ology at the state university, declared
himself in opposition to women being
self-supporting, in a lecture on THE
Production of Wealth" before the Y.
NJ c. A. of st. Paul.
The world would be better off," he
said, 'if all women were turned out of
their jobs tomorrow. / would except
school-teachers, and, perhaps, very
few other classes. One of the greatest
evils of modern civilization, | think,
Is the woman wage-earneT. Her exist
ence is a crime against natural laws.
Nature intended man to be the pro-
ducer, woman the consumer.
Some women, it is true, won't mar
ry. Some women should not marry.
But you cant organize society upon
the exceptions to it's laws. The healthy
woman, the woman of the majority,
should marry, If she can get hus-
banIl, and she would be much better
able to find IL husband if she had not
reduced mems wages by her industrial
competition.
Within the two decades between
1870 and 1890 the whole number of
women in this country has decreased
in proportion TO the men, but the
number of women in industrial occu-
pations has decidedly augmented. In
1870, for example, ten per cent of the
artists of America were women. In
1890 the rate was 40 per cent. There
were 527 female physicians in the
United States in 1870, but in 1890 the
medical and surgical women had in
creased to 1850.
'Woman's wages are always smaller
because she possesses less endurance,
less skill than man, because she en-
ters her work with less preparation.
and makes it, not IL serious life task.
but temporary eXpedient to crafty
the needs or the desires Of a short pc

RESENT A POSTAL ORDER.
French Public Makes IL Protest
Against Ruling Out Mourn
ing Envelopes.

The French post Office at Paris is
being deluged with letters of complaint
over the enforcement of the depart
ments recent order prohibiting the
passage through the mails of envelopes
bearing the customary black border in
token of mourning. The new rule per-
mits the use of note paper with as deep
border as the sender desires, but the
cover must be white, or may De tinted,
but at least is not TO have black
edge.
The post office department gives as
its reason for the new regulation that
mourning envelopes are too easily tam
pered with. They can be opened, it is
officially explained in answer to the
numerous complaints, and if the
gummed edge is torn or frayed in the
process, little ink rubbed over the
surface makes everything look right.
One consequence of the new order is
the increased sale of envelopes with
tinted edge, and it. is not improbable
that the use of these as a token of
mourning may entirely Supersede the
use of the time-hon ored black -bord cred
variety.

TESTS OF NEW TORPEDOES
Device That VIII Brins; the Destroyer
Back to Its Original Course
when Detected.

Orders are expected in few days di
recting the cruiser New York, Rear Ad-
miral Philip Farquhar's flagship, which
is lying at the Brooklyn navy yard, to
proceed south for target practice. The
practice cruise will be of more than
usual interest because of the proposed
tests of the new torpedoes. A consign-
ment of new whitehead torpedoes ar
rived from Newport for the New York.
They are fitted with an improved steer
ing gear, in which the department
places great faith. 1t is a secret device,
known as the Obry rudder, and has
been purchased exclusively by the
United States government. The pur-
pose of the new cOntrivance is 10 bring
back to its original course a torpedo
which has become DETECTED from the
straight line after leaving the tube.
Hitherto torpedoes in nine eases out of
ten were detected as soon as they
reached the water Tests of a new Ger
man system for signaling at night are

said, commerce is now represented in
the capital of China, and a ministry spe-
cially charged with the duty of encour-

REFUSES TO ACCEPT IT.
J. Eads How, of st. Louis, Says He Has
Not Earned an Inheritance
of S1,OO0,O0O.

J. Eads How, of St. Louis, who has
refused to accept million dollars in
herited from his relatives because he
has not earned it by his own labors,
has given $4,000 to be expended for
the public welfare" This represents
the interest on Il sum How keeps in
bank to enable him to prosecute his
work of relieving distress among the
poorer classes. 1t is ''unearned incre-
ment," he says, and therefore he re-
fuses to use it himself.
AS a matter of fact, it is very sell
dom that he spends any money on his
own account. He left his mansion in
Lindell boulevard to live among the
poorest classes in st. Louis. He con-
ducts the mission home at Ninth and
Washington streets. One room and
kitchen constitute his, home. How is
nephew of the late James b. Eads,
who built the bridge across the Mis-
sissippi river at St. Louis. He was
educated at an eastern college, and
while travelling afterward in Europe
conceived the idea of devoting his life
TO the poor.
A million dollars is his if he wants
it, but he does not choose to be among
the family heirs. His only condition
in giving the $4,000 is that the poor
shall profit by it. \ committee APP
pointed by public mass meeting will
arrange a plan for its distribution. 1t
is proposed to secure similar dona-
tions from men who incline to the
IDEAS entertained by How.

Marcus braun Secures Judgment
Against Wagner Palace Car Com
Dnny on Unusual Grounds

One of the most Singular suits on
record has just been decided in the city
court in New York city, Marcus Braun
having secured judgment against the
Wagner Palace Car company for $3.50
as damages for a mistake made
by one of the cOmpany's conductors,
who allotted berth already sold
to Braun to a woman. When the
error was discovered every berth in
the train was sold and Braun was COM
PEELED to sit in the smoking compart-
ment during trip from Cleveland TO
New York city. When Braun bought
his coupon for the berth he left his lug
gage in the seat and went II the smok-
ing compartment. He did not return
for two hours, according to his own
story, but when he did he found the
berth made up and occupied. The
comments of the other passengers so
injured his feelings, he says, that
money compensation is due him, he al
leges. The woman in the berth pro-
duced coupon which was an exact du-
pIicate of the coupon given to Braun.

Every soldier believes that the only
safe place under fire is the recent scene
of some cannonade escapade. When de-
Tending a fort or camp the wounded
are generally placed in the breaches,
as the enemy are not likely TO waste
powder and shot on points which have
already been cleared of all barricade.
The same holds true of nava! engage
