Philadelphia Editor Criticises Indiana
Bachelors Club.
There may be more In continuing to
believe the old statement that the wise
men came out Of the east than the
pride of those residing in other d!rec-
tions OF the compass is disposed to ad
init. Combining investigation Of the
general truth Of the saying to our own
country there is abundance OF evidence
that the west cannot make too hope
full fight against whatever of oppro-
brium the term implies.
In one of the presumably most in
telligent counties of the state of In
diana a lot OF bachelors, to the num-
ber OF twenty-five. have formed them
selves into club with the avowed
purpose of altogether stunning wom-
ankind. on the ground that their So
ciety Is far from being essential to
masculine happiness. The pains and
penalties which may follow any infrac-
tion of the solemn oath taken to carry
out the purposes OF the organization
have not been mentioned, but as by
inference its violation would indicate
possibility of marriage on the cu-
prit's part, perhaps they think that
were punishment enough.
Omitting further consideration o!
the incident In It's bearing on western
wisdom, the finish of this anti-femin-
inc club may be easily seen In the fate
OF somewhat similar movement else
where. About five years ago n score
OF young ladies graduating from one OF
our leading colleges formed compact
never to marry. A formal bond was
drawn. all signed it, and as further
expression of their earnestness large
silver medals were struck to serve as
mementoes OF the occasion and as in
stigations to memory to be vigilant
At latest accounts fourteen of the
twenty girls had given their medals TO
their babies to cut their teeth on

Fabulous Price for Letter.

One thousand pounds was the sum
paid by the late Bernard Quaritch for
an autograph letter. OF Columbus
which he afterwards exhibited at the
Worlds Fair in Chicago. A wealthy
collector of autographs in Chicago in
1898 offered through the American
Press to pay 100000 for genuine
autograph letter of Shakespeare. Only
seven are known to be in existence
and as to three doubts have been ex-
pressed as to their genulneness. Two
letters Of Mary Queen of Scots. writ
ten lust before her execution. are said
to have cost an English collector $20,-
900. The one letter existing in IT,
tian's handwriting was sold for $500,
and letter of Raphael's for $500. The
one letter written by Corneille which
was ever sold was purchased by Alfred

A feat which any one can perform
with little or no practice is that OF
placing fourteen matches upon table
and lifting them all up upon one OF
the matches. This is how 1t is done:
Pick out one match-the one that has
the latest surface-and then place si1
of the other matches about one-fourth
each across the first one. each OF the
six being parallel to each other and
the thickness OF match distant from
each other Next place six other
matches one-fourth each across the
first match. but from the other side
all parallel and in the spaces left by
the arrangement Of the first sis
matches. Now take the fourteenth
match. lay it over the twelve matches
where they intersect. and by carefully
lifting match No. and holding match

without difficulty the feat.-Adelaide

Facts concerning the following ship
ping law are Just beginning to be felt
by Bath slipbuilders. AS a prominent
Bath ship owner said: Under this
j law one of our schooners. built under
inspection and rated for fifteen Years,
must be inspected the second wear
after she is built While any old hulk
| that has been made over into barge
can be used without inspection and is
| lett free to compete with our schooners,
the qualifying clause regarding passen-
gers being manifest absurdity. as coal
barges as rule are not sought after by
tourists as they can commit suicide in a
much more economical manner. The
delay occasioned by these laws means
III the aggregate a considerable loss to
schooners, loss that is entirely I'M
necessary and accomplishes no good
whatever"
Following is the law referred to:
The local inspector of steam vessels
shall once IN every year, at least, or
upon application in writing of the mas
ter or owner, carefully inspect the hull
of each sail vessel of over seven hun
dred tons and all other vessels and
barges of over one hundred tons burden.
carrying passengers for hire within
their respective district and shall salts
fy themselves that every such vessel so
submitted to their inspection is of
structure suitable for the service in
which she is to be employed, has suit
able accommodations for the crew and
is in condition to warrant the belief
that she may be used in navigation with
safety to life
