There is a fine old masculine prejudice
that women, as a class. are stingy. The
whole question hangs closely on to the
power of earning money, and the woman
who makes her own life and her own liv-
ing is rarely guilty of the vice of par
simony. The horrors of a rigid domestic
economy are usually practiced by wives
to whom a weekly dole for housekeeping
Is handed out; women who, not possess
ing penny of their own and having no
pin money settled upon them at marriage,
are tempted to pinch and scrape in order
to put something by for themselves.
The woman who earns, on the other
hand, especially one who earns on a large
scale, is more often than not open-handed
to fault The case of IA novelist-ths
late Mrs. CIiphant- is enc In point. This
courageous pen woman lived always on
the fat of the land, Travelled en- princesSe,
sent her sons to Eton and to Oxford and
practiced all the amenities of life. AL
though a good 'Scotswoman, we are told
by writer IN Blackwood that "she hat
ed small economies. To travel expensive
was her way She never would travel
second-class. She had none of what she
calls the faculty of economics in her.
She stayed at the very best and most ex-
pensive hotels; she dressed in the richest
OF silks and satins.''
Mrs. Oiiphant, Ia short, though a trifle
daring in her expenditure, Is a good type
of the openfhanded working woman.
There are at least two famous English
authoresses today who hve-and entirely

TO FIGHT FILIPINOS.
Gen. Otis Force to Be Increased to
10000 Men,

WASHINGTON, June 2S.-Secretary AL
ger, Adjt. Gen. Corbin and Col Bird, as
sistant quartermaster general In charge
of transportation, had an hours consulta-
ton with the president today relative to
the question of reinforcements for Gen.
Otis. A definite decision has been reach
ed to continue recruiting men at all
the recruiting stations for service in the
Philippines, and Secretary AIger said

600 men when the rainy season closed.
for resumption of active operations.
Volunteers will not be accepted In Or
ganizatiens. Secretary Alger is determin-
ed to adhere to- that rule. Looking over
the act of congress he has concluded that
the authorization to raise these volun-
teer troops ''at large" indicates a pur-
pose on the part of congress to follow
out the plan successfully operated In the
case of the immune regiments. It is the
present purpose to disregard states and
local lines in securing the recruits, and
welding them into organizations Regi-
ments will be. designated. the First; Sec

infantry or cavalry. No difficulty Is anti
cipated in securing the men needed. It is
believed that the 1000 men who are week
ly offering themselves at the recruiting
offices will be even more willing to enter
the army as two-year volunteers than as
long-term regulars.
Officers for these volunteer regiments
will be obtained by promoting of officers
now in the regular army. and by COM
missioning many of the best officers of
the volunteer organizations which saw
service. The war department has care
fully preserved the records of these Of
ficers, and has at hand a long list Of
such of them as exhibited soldierly and
organizing qualities.

the Orient by the steamer Empress of
China
A number of soldiers, under the direc-

on small raft made of bamboos, lashed
over small boats. The men were crossing
in regular squads, but at the time of the
accident the raft was overloaded and
rapidly filled until 1t sank, about ten
rect from the bank, until the water was
full of struggling men, fighting against
the swift current and heavy equipments,
and before they could be rescued five
had gone down for the last time. Four
bodies have been recovered, as follows:
Corporal E. Hermann, Jasper l.. Whims,
Nels Anderson and Joseph Nuneville.

INJURIOUS AND DISGRACEFUL.
The best friends of the South every
where read with increasing regret and
anxiety the reports which are steadily
coming Of deeds of violence in that sec
tion. They can justify. or at least pail
liate many of the deeds of violence
which arise from the clash of races. Con-
ditions frequently confront the white
man of the South in the discharge of his
duty of protection Of home, family and
social institutions which render it neg.
essary to apply to his conduct wholly diff
which we might apply elsewhere or un-
der other circumstances. Indeed the en-
tire country has decided that the South
ern man should and must be allowed to
solve his~owna race problem in his own
way h
1t is the steady resort to violence in the
settlement of individual disputes, the
readiness to regard private grievances
and their redress as outside and beyond
the agencies of the law that bring dis
heartenment to the friends of the South
in other parts of the country.
In yesterdays G. b e over a column
reciting deeds of violence perpetrated in
the South which would be impossible in
any well-ordered condition of society
There was a dispatch from Birmingham,
negro miners There was a dispatch
from Galveston which told of the shoot
ing of four men on a thickly crowded
thoroughfare. Then there was the story
of the capture by mob of negro rob-
Der from the custody of the police and
his subsequent death by hanging at Full
ton, Ky. All these events happened on
the same day.
No state of society can be called civil
ized in which human life is held at such
apparently low value and where the in
strumentalities of the law are either en-
tirely disregarded or set at defiance in
the settlement of private wrongs Such
happenings as these are of daily occur
renee in the South. They work fnestima-
BILE injury to the good name of the
Southern people and to the prosperity of
the Southern states They give color
OF right and justice to all that the
worst enemies of the Southern people
urge against them. They present to
view a people at once honorable,
high-spirited and humane as little more
than so many aggregations of whisky
drinking. law-breaking, murderous thugs.
OF course we know that the vast mass
of the Southern people are as quiet and
as amenable to the requirements of law
and social order as are the people of any
section of the United States 1t is, how
ever, upon them that the responsibility
rests for the general disposition among
certain classes to resort to violence.
They are the sufferers by it. The loss
and disgrace are to the communities In
which they are in the ascendant. If the
officers of the law did their full duty in
cases of this character there would soon
be an end put to the reign of violence
As long as such occurrences are not only
possible but frequent, so long must the
entire South bear the discredit and suf-
fer the material and moral injury which
results day by day.

WASHINGTON. June 2S-The Balti-

may not go, as circumstances warrant
when the time comes to give the subject
serious thought. The chances at this mo-

going west, but the future will determine
the matter.

There Is a Constitutional Bar to

to Be Called to Swell American
Philippine Forces to 10000.

CHICAGO, June 2S.-Correspondence
reached Chicago today to the effect that
negotiations are pending with leading
officers of the Cuban army to convey
their forces to the Philippine islands and
place them under command of Maj Gen.
Otis, to campaign in connection with the
American troops against the rebellious
Filipinos. Both the president and Sec
retary of War Alger are reported to
think well of the plan, and. in the hope
that 1T may be accomplished, 1t is said
nave withheld another call for volun-
teers. 1t Is also alleged that ten Cuban
chiefs-Gens. Diaz. Nunez, Nodarsie,
Alejandaro Rodriguez, Carrillo. Ro-
loft, Vega. CatiIlo. Rafael Rodriguez
and Boza-are the officers who devised
this means to furnish employment to Gu
bans who are without means of sub
sistence.
Information from Washington states
that the war department has been ne
gotiating with these Cuban chiefs for
more than a month. The argument ad-
vanced in favor of tae proposition is that
the Cubans are better qualified for ac-
tive campaigning in a tropical climate
than the American soldiers. Ten thou

go to assist in putting down the rebellion

WASHINGTON, June 2S.-It was said

willingness to listen to the proposition
its adoption would be met with many

character, for the Cubans are not citi-
