Nowadays when women are trying to
do every thing 1t is not strange that
many things are o7er-done. IT is not
strange that there are all kinds of physical
and mental disturbances. If the woman
who is doctor, or a lawyer, or a Jour
nalist, or in bushes would not try 10 be
a society woman too it might be differ.
ent; but the woman who knows whe n
she has done a days work has yet to be
born. Usually a wuman's way is to
keep doing until she drops. Working
in this way has manifold evils. The
most common trouble resulting from
over~exertion, either mentally or physi>
cally, is constipation of the bowels, with
all its attendant horrors.

Current Events a. shown bv Pictures in
the Papers.
Cartoon making has become very com
mon. Many papers abound in these
some very good, and others not re
markable. Some recent ones may
be briefly mentioned. The Denver
Post has one representing Uncle
Sam with hand deep down in shiS
pocket and looking amazed, as a willy
Spaniard stands in front with cage in
hand In which is enclosed diminutive
savage "a Filipino) and attached to
which is a card with this reading "Phil.
ippines, Nice, Fresh Rebellion always on
Tap, Price $20000,0 00." Underneath is
Kiplnk's recent xhortation-"Spain,
Take Up the White Mans Burden"
The New York Herald has cartoon
representing Uncle Sam as giving, in
1889, milk to small animal labeled
Trust" In 1899 there stonds an enor-
nous lion and very dlminutive figure
of Uncle Sam standing in great awe
and surprised, his hat flying from his
head, which by contrast shows the growth
of "trusts"-the positive wonder anu
curse of the age.
The Norfolk Virginia Pilot has car
toon called 'The Fruits of imperialism"
with this striking recent statement OF
the able statesman, William j. Bryan:
The fruits of Imperialism, be shey
bitter or sweet, must be left to the sub
JectS of monarchy. This is the one tree
of which the citizens of one republic may
not partake. 1t is the voice Of the SER
pent, not the voice of God, that bids US
eat. w. j. Bryan.
There is tree with fruit hanging from
the boughs, huge serpent coiled
around the trunk, which bears the
ominous name "Imperalism. Uncle
Sam stands some distance off, with fold
ed arms and deep dependency expressed
in his aged face. In his rear the goddess
of Liberty" standing upon the tCp of
the dome OF the capitol, the building
having already disappeared, is seen
weeping.
The Denver Pest has a picture repre-
Senting Agulnaldo panoplied for war
and riding steed caparisoned in due
warlike way. He is full of swagger aud
defiance bearing a flag upon which is the
device, Power to declare war against

Let us give one more that has come
under our eye. The democratic Chicago
Chronicle has cartoon representing
Uncle sam with crown on his head.
He is at the crank of a machine gun that
is doing some lively firing. Spain in the
shape and attitude of a opaniard is
standing just in rear of Uncle Sam in a
broad grin, with hand raised. The gun
Uncle Sam is using is McKinley's "Be-
nevolent ASsimilatOr," capable of 400
fires per minute-"Our motto: The only
good Filipino is an asslmllated Filipino"

NEW MAGAZINE RIFLE.

A test was made at the navy depart

magazine rife Of the regulation navy
caliber which is peculiar in that the
gas generated from the explosion of a
cartridge rejects the shell, loads the

TWO MILLIONS 4 DAY.
Some Staggering FiHures which 1t Ia Hard
for the Mind to Grasp.


The official statement of Representa-
tive Joseph G. Cannon of Illinois. the
chairman of the house of appropriations
mmlttee, summing up the appropria-
tons of the fifty-fifth congress sho VS., an
aggregate appropriation by the entire
congress of $1,566, S90,016 and for the
session just closed total if S673, 65S, 400,
with authority for contracts subject to
future appropriations amounting TO $780,
600, 900, These are staggering figures
which it is hard for the mind to grasp.
For every day of the two years life of
the fifty. fifth congress it appropriated
more than two million dollars! But
comparatively trt1ing part of the vast
amount has been paid out for actual war
expenditures, the sum total in excess of
ordinary payments on account of the
army and navy up to date having been
about S21S, 100000.
So reckless was the fifty congress
that it was only restrained from adding
vastly TO the sum of future expenditure
by lack of time and by the interpositiou
of parliamentary distractions on the
part of few determined men.
The heavy additional taxation impos~
ed to meet the war expenditures, while
it would have beer sufficient for that
purpose, has not sufficed to answer the
extravagant demands upon the treasury.
The deficit for the fiscal year is already
over S10G,O00,000. The next congress
will either have to provide larger reve-
nue. by fresh taxetion or borrow money
TO keep the wolf from the door. -Phila.

Their Stars.

Rev. Charles Edward Locke, bright

was being shown through Grace church

interestedly at the. stars painted on the
ceiling, the visitor inquired if they had
any special significance.
"Oh," was the reply, ''you know
what the Bible says. He made the stars
also.

parson. ''Do you know the difference

COMPLlNE.

A evening settles down along the land,
And lamps blink, and the wind is lulled asleep,
Then through the spirit moves a knowledge
deep
The day denies us; then living hand
Nestles from nature into ours as sand
Slides in the glass; we dream, and half we leap
The barriers that the dumb recorders keep;
A ray streams through, and half we under
stand.
For twilight is the spirits dwelling place,
Where mystery melts the slow dissolving world
And ghosts of order step from accident.
Faith that still hovers where the dew is pearled
Eteals forth and beckons, and from banish-
ment
Our dearer selves we summon face to face.

THE CONVICT LABOR SYSTEM.
CoIored Men Want the Industrial
Commission TO Look Into II.

The Industrial Commission is to be asked
to take up the question of the convict lease
system in the South, which, it is claimed,
is detrimental to the interests of free labor
of the States where it is in vogue. The
Afro American Council of the District Of
Columbia held a meeting last night at the
Conservatory OF Music, Twelfth and r
Streets northwest, and appointed Prof. Kel-
ley Miller, Prof L. NJ. Hershaw, and At
torney Daniel Miller a committee to bring
the question before the Industrial Com
mission.
Former Governor P. B. S. Pinchbaek pre-
sided at the meeting, with George Lacey
as secretary. Representative George H.
White of North Carolina, addressed the
meeting, and told of the evils of the con-
vict lease system in the South, saying
that 1t was growing rapidly and was fore
ing hundreds of colored laboring men into
idleness. Mr. White also denounced the
lynching of eolored men in the South, and
SAID that he had a bill which he would
introduce in the next Congress giving Fed
eral Courts the power to deal with persons
charged with lynching or other crimes
where it was thought that the State courts
would not handle the cases fairly. He said
that President Mckinley had promised that
the bill should receive his support, and
also the support OF the Cabinet.
Daniel Murray stated that section 5299
of the Revised Statutes of the United
States made 1t the duty of Federal officers
to protect persons charged with heinous
crimes from mob violence, but that it did
not specifically designate what Federal Off
GERS were to perform this duty. There
was movement on foot, he said, among
the coiored organizations to have the next
Congress amend this statute so that it
would be compulsory for Federal marshals
and district attorneys to see that persons
charged with such crimes were protected
from mobs and lynch law, and that United
States marshals be empowered to call on
citizens TO protect the accused persons,
and, if necessary, to call out the National
Guard to assist them. He said that Presi-
dent Mckinley had personally assured him
of his help in bringing the convict labor
question before the Industrial Commission.

OF the Christian Schools In their efforts to
have Latin and Greek retained in the cur
ricula Of their schools in this country.
Word was received from Bishop Byrne, of
Nashville, who went to Rome to champion
the cause of the Christian Brothers before
the Vatican authorities, but no written re-
port was received. An appeal from the
Christian Brothers who had been deposed
from their places at the heads of colleges
throughout the country, including some
from New York, St. Louis, Chicago, Wash
ington, and Rock Hill, Nd, asking the as
sistance Of the Archbishops, was favorably
received.
Some time ago the Archbishops author
lied Bishop Byrne to speak for them in the
behalf OF the Christian Brothers. and they
had signed a petition 10 the Pope, asking
that he reverse the decision of Brother
Gabrielle Marie, head of the order. Yester-
days the Archbishops made the plea Of the
deposed brothers the basis OF another ap-
peal 70 the Pope. They had found nothing,
after close examination, to change their
views In the matter, which were, that the
brothers IN this country should be allowed
to adapt their schools to the other schools
OF the country and continue to teach Latin
and Greek. IN consequence the Arch
bishops, representing the secular priest
hood Of America, reafnrmed their former
Petition, and again requested the Pope to
faToTably answer the appeal OF the Chris
tlon Brothers of the United States from the
ultimatum Of Brother Gabrielle Marie for
bidding them TO teach the classics. Arch

ment, it is understood, has not taken any
steps concerning the condition produced
by the action of Nicaragua in granting a
concession to build the canal to new
company.
A gentleman, who is officially but not
financially Interested in the canal ques-
ton, said last night that it was fair to as
sumo that the Maritime Canal Company
would ask the United States TO make rep

extension Of it's concessions on the ground
that frequent revolutionary troubles had
delayed the work. A clause in the con-

and it is evident the Archbishdps ave
taken determined stand in these matters
The contest over the teaching of the
classics in these schools has been going
on for two years. practically ever Since
the election Of Brother Gabrielle Marie as
the general OF the orser: The brothers in
this country are unit on the subject,
and although inroads were pade in their
ranks by the RECALLING to Paris Of their
most prominent leaders, the rank and file
have stood faithful and the teaching of
the classics still continues. An appeal
was taken to Rome, and being SO strongly
backed by the hierarchy the brothers hope
to be successful, and also to have their
old leaders restored to them.
The last to go to Paris was Brother
Fabrician, Of Washington. Through the
efforts of the Washington alumni, of st.
Johns College, presided over by Father
Fabrician, the alumni of the brothers
schools throughout the country are join
ing hands to help their former teachers.
The brothers have large number of ex-
