Pbi,ippine Women Love Jewelry.

Philippine women are inordinately
fond of iewelry, but at the same time
show excellent taste In the matter OF
design and display. Those Of the
wealthy classes often order pieces to
ba made and sent out by the best Paris
ian firms at enormous expense; but In
the way of It's exhibition no criticism
could be made except. perhaps, at a
halle or dance, and then the profusion

ments she attained prominence as an
authoress of religious prose and poetry
at very early age. Her desire to inn
prove the condition Of suffering human.
ity led her to investigate allopathy,
homeopathy and mind healing on a ma
terial basis, none of which satisfied her
aspiration for system of cure for dis
ease. In 1886 she discovered the prin-
cipal which she afterward named
"Christian Science" In one of her
works she says: During twenty years
prior to my discovery had been trying
to trace all physical effects to the ment-
al cause, and in the latter part Of 1886
/ gained the scientific certainty that all
causation was mind and every effect a
mental phenomenon. Her first COM
plete statement of Christian Science,
entitled Science and Health, with key
to the Scriptures" was published in
1875, and has since been followed by
many other works.
In 1881 she chartered the Massachu-
setts Metaphysical College; this was
the only charter under Massachusetts
State laws ever granted for teaching
the pathology of Christian healing.
Mrs. Eddy is now actively directing
the Christian Science movement from
her home in Concord, n. H., appearing
occasionally at the Mother Church, and
has recently taught class of seventy
in Christian Science Hall in Concord,
n. H. The mother church of the So
ciety is the First Church of Christ in
Boston. 1t has recently organized a
Board of Missionaries, a Board Of Edu-
cation, and an International Board of
Lectureship, by means of which the
principles of Christian Science are
being disseminated.

The Ostrich in a Hurry.

The fastest race horse is "slow
coach" compared to the ostrich, when
in a hurry. The pace at which strong
ostrich can run is estimated to exceed
sixty miles an hour. This tremendous
rate, however, is seldom kept up for
more than a mile or so. When an os-
trich is running at full speed, its legs
move so rapidly that they do not ap-
pear to touch the ground, and as the
stride of full-grown bird Is from II
feet to II feet in length, Its swiftness
may be imagined.

dicament has been made. In this
scheme the cup and the brush travel in
inseparable companionship. The han

tubular section completes the handle,
this latter fitting completely over the
bristle part of the brush, thus hiding it
completely.

MAY SUE THE STATE
MEMBERS OF THE HOUSE OF REP.
RESENTATIVES CLAIM MILEAGE

MEMBERS OF THE HOUSE OF REP
RESENTATIVES CLAIM MILEAGE.
A suit against the state is likely to
be brought by the members of the
House OF Representatives OF the last
General Assembly for mileage The
claims amount to about $4,000 State
Treasurer Ball refuses to pay the differ
ent claims on the grounds that the new
Constitution Of the state provides that
each member be allowed s. a day, but
makes no mention in regard to mile
age. He thinks that II would be uncon-
stitutional to pay the claims.
Walter II. Hayes represents the mem
bers of the House, and will probably
enter suit as soon as a paper. which
was put in circulation among the rep
|resentatives at the recent reunion, has
been returned. This paper is now in
possession OF Representative Shall
cross.
The ground on which suit will be
brought is that a resolution was adopt
ed by the House providing for drawing
the money and in the printed copies OF
the proceedings on the last day of the
session the statement is made that the
money was drawn.
General John p. Donahoe, rep reson-
tative from the Fourth district. said to
the Evening Journal to-day: "I wish
TO correct an erroneous impression
which has gone out regarding the rep
resentatives' movement toward collect
ing mileage. In the latter part Of the
last session a House resolution was
passed awarding each member mileage
and il is so printed in the laws as pub
lished, that each member has received
the sums so voted. IL has not been
paid by the state treasurer, however.
who has declined thus far to pay it.
But as it is a part of the laws, his
bonds may be called upon at any time
to make this payment, hence he is de-
sirous of having the matter completely
cleared up. The only question in his
mind thus far is that the new Corstitu-
tion is silent on the matter OF mileage
to the members of the General Assem-
bly,. and only the courts can definitely
cOnstrue and determine the question as
precedent.
Il might say further that it is only
owing to the members finding them
selves charged with having received
the amount stated. or sums, that any
action would have been taken. Ws feel
that we owe It to ourselves, if we do
not get it, We should not be charged
with having received il.
THE legislative counsel will take
charge OF the matter in the courts"

CHESTER TROLLEY LINE.
Robert f. Fox, formerly general
manager of the Wilmington, Chester,
and Philadelphia Traction lines, died
Friday afternoon at $40 o'clock at his
home in Leadville, Pa. Death was due
to catarrh Of the stomach.
The death of Mr.. Fox removes a
shining light from the field of street
railway companies. He came to Will
mington and assumed control of the
local lines and managed them with
marked ability It was through his un-
firing zeal and efforts that the system
here reached its now present efficiency.
Before Mr.. Fox assumed direct con-
troll the lines were in such condition as
to warrant the stockholders putting a
man to manage them, who was prof.
cient in engineering and systemizing.
Robert f. Fox was selected.
Shortly after his appointment he rig
idly gave the lines here much needed
overhauling, and under his manage
ment they reached. by degrees, the
standard of metropolitan railways.
1t was through him that the Will
mington and New Castle line reached
its present condition, and he was one
OF the first projectors OF the line which
now connects this city with Philadel-

Of the road and he saw its opening and
il was to him the crOwning efforts of
his life When the Clark syndicate
scooped in the local and the Philadel-
phia roads a number Of changes were
made, and Mr.. Fox resigned, being sue
ceeded by Joseph Lugar.
Mr. Fox became i'll and was confined
to his home in Wilmington for sew
eral weeks. He was removed to Lead
Vile, his home. where he died. He
was greatly esteemed by the con-
ductors and mOtormen of the local
road, and his death is greatly mourned.
He was a man of genial personality
and was liked by all. He had a num-

death greatly Mr.. Fox has been away
