Mistress and Fellow Mistress,

Every mistress has a duty to her
fellow-mistress as we'll as to her SER
want, and therefore is bound to give
an absolutely true character of the
servant who is leaving her, and this
for the sake of the servant herself as
we'll as for her next mistress. 1t is
bound alike to the good servant who
has earned for herself a good charac-
ter that she is no better off in this
respect than the Indifferent one, and it
is hard also for the lady who engages
the latter sort in the full belief that
the character is perfectly true. This
should be the first thing aimed at in
forming an organization of the sort
suggested by "Francha." Truth, in the
interest of both mistress and servant,
and, whenever possible. a personal
character should be insisted upon.
When this is impossible a written
character should be certified as true
by a magistrate or some other person
in authority. If this were insisted
upon there would not be the same ia
cility for servants to get new situa-
lions as now exists. 1t would not be
a safeguard for the mistress only, but
for the good servant as we'll, and also
an inducement for the Indifferent ones
to do better. All the organizations in
the world will be useless unless ladies
are true and faithful one to the other
in this matter, which at the present
moment they are not. We do not say
that they wilfully and out of sheer
malice give false characters, but we
do affirm that they too often give and
write characters that, without being
absolutely false, are certainly not per-
fectly true. If the organization that
'Francha" proposes to found will in
sur truth in this one thing, she will
have taken the first and most decisive
step towards removing the domestic
servants difficulty.

TOBACCO AND REVENUE TAX
How Does the Jobber Make Up the Ex-
ira Tax on the Weed,

NAA W SAo LA
ira Tax on the Weed.
The retails to%bacconist who sells you
your package of smoking can't tell you
just how the jobber or manufacturer
makes up for the extra revenue Uncle
Sam has placed on each package for
wal expenses. No apparent change is
noticeable in the size of the bags or
boxes of the standard articles. In the
best-known goods retailers and job
bers We're generally sufficiently we'll
supplied with stocks, stamped before
the war tax became effective, to carry
them along for months. Now the war
taxed products are coming in. The
packages all seem to be of the same
size and shape and as familiar in ap-
pearance as of yore. But If you ex-
anime closely you will find that the
tobacco is packed in more loosely and
consequently there is not SO much of
it as you got for the same price six
months ago.. Of course the manufac-
turers had to make up the extra reve-
nue., and that's the way they do it,
recognizing that it would be unwise
to change the size, shape or general
appearance of goods that hold a
standard position in the market.

Political banks" organized to re-
ceive-and juggle with-the funds of
municipalities or states. have yielded
many shameful chapters Of financial
history. An occurrence Of another
sort has just taken place in Phila-
delphia, where the president Of
such a bank, which had failed, has
given his personal check for $4OO, 900
in order that the depositors may be
paid in full. II was the president of
that bank" he told the receiver; II
am responsible for more than the
amount I would have to pay as an
assessment upon my holdings Of stock,
and / am going to pay more" The
president did a creditable thing when
he went beyond the laws requirements
to guard the business men who had
trusted him; but perhaps he felt that,
since he had got into bad company
and stayed-he deserved to lose his
money.

Scents and Cosmetics.

Few women realize how particular
they should be in the use of scents and
cosmetics. After all, we are but frail,
and are apt to be tempted by an at
tractively got-up bottle, regardless of
the contents, which are, perhaps, nam
ed after our favorite flower. There are
SO many worthless articles on the
market that it would be a wise plan
either to eschew all scents not bearing
the name of a well known maker or
to leave all of them alone. No wom-
an calling herself a lady should use
Indifferent perfumes. Such a one
should be put in the category as those
who wear imitation sealskin, dyed sa-
BILE and tawdry jewelry. If we can
not now afford the best, it is better
to wait until we car Another thing,

Lady, wouldst thou heiress be,
To winters cold and cruel part?

But thou wilt wrong the summer air,

Breath which only should belong

When the little buds unclose.

scent. One drop of good perfume
goes as far as a spoonful of bad, while
the former is nice to the end and
never gets stale. And surely in these
days, when all the best firms vie with
each other in bringing out good things
at reasonable prices, we ought to be
wise enough to take the trouble to find
out who these firms are, and we may
then be sure that none of their scents
though possibly we may like some bet
ter than others, will fail to please us.
Women of fashion nowadays nearly
always choose one flower, which they
faithfully adhere to in scent, soap,
sachet and face powders, dentifrice
hair lotion, smelling salts, etc.

SWAN IN SPITE OF HANDcUFFs
Remarkable Performance of a Maniac
Who Jumped Overheard.

Who Jumped Overheard.
From the New York Times: The
Ward line steamer Seneca, which ar
rived here yesterday from South Gu
ban ports, brought with her W. II.
Seymour, engineers yeoman OF the re-
frigerator ship Glacier, who was res
cued from drowning after he had
thrown himself from the ship into the
sea near Cape Cruz. Seymour came
aboard the Seneca at Santiago in charge
Of Surgeon Burns, U. S.. n, Of the
cruiser Cincinnati and an attendant.
He was mentally deranged, and was
bound for St. Elizabeth's hospital for
the insane at Washington. While the
Seneca was ON her way to Manzanillo
on Nov. % Seymour became unruly
and was placed in irons. On Nov. %
the Seneca left Manzanillo for Cienfu-
egos, and Seymour was allowed to
have the liberty Of the main deck aft,
so that he might get a little fresh air
II exercise. Handouts were still
kept On his wrists in order to prevent
him from making any violent demon
STATIONS. At 1890 o'clock the stew
ard appeared upon the bridge and in
formed First Officer Reed whose watch
it was, that a passenger was overheard.
The ship was at once stopped and
backed up to where Seymour, who is
a large, powerful man, was seen SWIM
ming, handcuffed as he was, toward
the shore which was between three
and four miles distant. A s%tarboard
boat was lowered away with all speed.
First Officer Reed took command Of
the boat, and it was manned by Fred
Hansen, George Thompson, Christo-
pher knudsen and Louis Larsen, sea-
men. The boat made at once for Sey-
mour, and he was dragged from the
water and taken back to the ship.
When the maniac was overtaken he
was still swimming on his back, but
he made no resistance. From the
time the steward made his report to
the moment Seymour again stood on
the deck only fifteen minutes elapsed.
1t was probably one of the speediest
rescues on record. Second Officer Par
ker was in his bunk when the alarm
was given. He was sent for to relieve
the first officer, but the rescue was so
speedy that it was all over before he
had reached the bridge. When Sey-
mou was asked why he had jumped
overheard he said: Il thought I'd
take a bath. That was the only way !
could get home"

5000 to be applied on the Presbyterian

men OF the mountains in the southern
part of West Virginia opportunity for
higher education and to fit them for en-

been offered to have the school located

The rumor has been going for the last
few days that J. E. HanpeFan Is to
60 back to Cleveland at the head OF the
passenger and freight department Of
the wheeling & Lake Erie railroad.
This story has been going for several
days. but as the wheeling people have
not decided exactly as to the appoint
,ment they VIII not talk concerning Il,
Mr.. Hannegan. 1t Will be remembered,
was formerly here as the assistant
general passenger agent Of the cleve-
land, Akron & Columbus. When that
road was absorbed by the Pennsylvania
he went to 81. Louis as commissioner OF
the Southwestern Mileage Bureau, as
ISOLATED with the Southwestern Pnssen-
ger Association. At the time OF his
leaving Cleveland he had been consid-
cred for the position at the head OF the
consolidated Wheeling trattic business,
and now, since Mr.. Townsend has re-
signed, the rImor has been renewed.
The CONSENSUS of opinion in this terri
tory iB that Mr.. flanagan was one Of
the brightest young railroad men In this
section Of country. He was always a
factor in a small road on questions that
larger roads fenred. He had faculty
OF getting business with poor service
that other roads could not get with
their better service. and this made him
valuable. -ClevOland Leader.

Some time ago the Tnteillgencer sug-
gested the Organization Of an Ohio VAL
ley Bowling League. with clubs at
Wheeling. Martins Ferry. BeIlnire.
.wsllsbnrs. steuBeHyille. Bsnwood and
Moundsvllie. Since then the situation
has been canvassed and 1t is learned
that steubenvllle would probably not
enter a team. and It Is said there are no
available alleys and little interest in the
sport at Moundsyilie. However, the
howAers at WellSburg and Martins
Ferry are enthusiastic for the proposed
league. and the 1ntellIgencer has been
assured that two teams can be formed
IN wheeling, one out Of the Wheeling
league and another out Of the Musee
league, which would give four teams,
enough to start on II no others are
available. It Is likely. though, that both
Benwood and Bellnire can be brOught
into the organization, thus making up q
six club league. It is likely, too, that a
third Wheeling team could be organlz-
ed out Of the Carroll Club league.
This week a call for q meeting, az
which to organize the league will be is-
sued. It Is desired to start the ball rolls
ing about November Is.
