She Rules.
From the Chicago Inter.ocean.


Whether the average man knows it Oh
not, or admits it or not, it is held that he
is absolutely under the control and guild
ance, either directly or indirectly, Of some
woman. If he happen to be young man,
all of his energies are directed toward Sc
curing the partnership of some young
woman who will exercise despOtic rule
over his future IF he happens to be a
married man, he will scarcely take any
important step or begin any important en-
terprise without consulting his wife.
1t is held by deep students of this ques-
ton that the more assured married man
feels in his independence the more certain
it is that he is slave to the opinions, the
preiudices and the dictation of his wife.
These careful and earnest observers of the
relations between man and woman insist
that not only does many wife aid her
husband by determining for him how he
shall vote, but that, if she is interested in
political questions, she is not content until
she influences the wives of other men, who
in turn influence their husbands. The
women of this country, more than the wo-
men of any other country, know their own
minds and have their way oftener than
even their husbands suspect. In fact, the
clever wife manages her husband so as to
leave the conviction in his mind that he is
managing himself. What more can the
American woman need, and what more
ought she to want?

Beheaded in an Elevator.

Daniel Breslin, employed at the Fries
Breslin Smyrna Rug Works, Camden, N.
j., met terrible death on the afternoon
of the 23d instant, on an elevator at the
works. While the elevator was ascending
young Breslin laid down and stuck his
head out to call companion. He was
struck By protruding beam on the third
floor. A portion of his head was severed
and fell to the ground floor. A sister Of
the unfortunate young man, who was at
tracted to the elevator shaft by her broth
er's agonizing cries, got there just in time
to see the top of the skull drop. Without
knowing that the mass of flesh and hair
was that of her brother, the young woman
swooned. A father and another sister
were also employed in the mill
The boys body was jammed so tightly
between the third floor and the elevator
that it was necessary to pry it out with a
crowbar and sledge hammer.
Four hundred females are employed in
the mill and the shocking accident had
such an effect on them that they had to
be dismissed for the day.

Tried to Burn orphan School

PHGNIxvILLE, Pa, March 25.-
Carson c. Vanhorn, aged Is, pupil of
the Soldiers Orphan School at Chester
Springs, has been lodged in the Chester
county jail on the charge of attempting to
burn the teachers building, on the night
of December 10 last. After the attempt
to destroy the building, young Vanhorn
and another pupil, Samuel Brookens, made
their way to Williamsport, where they
were located by Superintendent John NJ.
Major. Last Thursday the Chief of Pc
lice of Wiliamsport, at the instance of
Superintendent Major, arrested the boys
and turned them over to Detective Roat,
at Harrisburg, and he brought them to
Chester Springs, where Vanhorn was given
hearing Friday by Justice Jacob Emery,
who committed him on the charge of at
tempting arson. After the hearing, Van
horn made a confession, duplicating a num-
Der of boy pupils, who were held as wit
nesses to appear against him.
Last fall the girls building at Chester
Springs was burned, and the same night
attempts were made to set other buildings
on fire. Vanhorn attempted to burn the
teachers building so the school would be
destroyed and he and his friends could 60
home. Superintendent Major has long
suspected there was a firebug among the
pupils.

Death of a Centenarian.

Mrs. Rebecca Fletcher, the oldest resi-
dent of Winchester, Va, died at her home
there last week after short Illness She
was nearly century old, having been born
at Woodstock, Va, December 26, 1900.
She was the widow of John J. Fletcher,
who died over 60 years ago. Mrs Fletcher
had been a resident of Winchester since
her marriage, "a years ago. She was the
last of family of IL children and, despite
her age, she was healthy, vigorous and
remarkably active until few weeks ago.
Her father was Capt. John Ignatius Eff
finger, who served in the Revolutionary
War as captain of Washington body
guard Mrs Fletcher leaves three sons
Capt. James p Fletcher and John l.
Fletcher, of that city, and William II.
Fletcher, subpostmaster of Washington,
ID. G. One son--Capt. Lewis johnson
Fletcher, who was killed at the battle of
Malvern Hill during the Civil War-was
the youngest captain in the Confederate
army. When killed, while leading his
command, he was only IS years old

The Destruction of Gull Life.
From Leaflet of Audubon Society.

From Leatet OF Audubon Society.
We need only select few of those that
are well known and indisputable. Science
for February 26, 1866, states that in one
season men killed for 10 cents apiece 40,
900 gulls and terms on Cobbs Island roost
in the Chesapeake Bay These were sold
in Paris, the packing house of fashion.
Eleven years ago Isaac Mcclellan, Of
Greenport, Long Island, said that the
decorators of hats, the agents of our moth
ers, our sisters and our wives, had almost
exterminated in that region the gulls, the
robins, orioles, blackbirds and all the other
species they could find. By this time
they must be nearly all gone.
In Beach Haven and Barnegat, N. j.,
boatmen find it more profitable to earn $50
week killing terms for women at 10 cents
apiece than to go fishing. From that Sec
ton alone one season furnished 30, 600
skins for the New York market. The
average seasons slaughter on Cape Cod
alone amounts to 40, 900 skins. Thank
God, men make no demand for such ex-
termination as thisl One birdman handles
80, 900 skins season, filched from the
sunny plains of Eastern South Carolina.
Another ships 20, 900 year to New York,
and yet cannot supply the craving of the
market. One gunner confessed to killing
1000 cedar birds for womens hats in the
winter of 1888. He has probably killed
thousands since, unless they are all gone.
What frightful inquisition
According to w. Fl. Hudson in the
London Times of October II, 1893, 3d.
900, 900 skins of birds pass annually
through the London market, the sangui
nary clearing house fer woman's caprice.
Thousands upon thousands of gray and
white gulls' wings are sent annually to
Boston from the fashionable North Shore.
The writer has been awakened morning
after morning in the early autumn by the
sharp signals telling that another and
another happy life had been blown out to
minister to a female fad

when You Hear the Robin Gall.

Agnes Lewis Mitchell, in April ST. Nicholas.
You may read it May on the calendar,
You may fix your heart on spring,
But until you hear the robins song
You will find it IS no such thing
For he's sure just when the snow hies,
And he knows springs secrets all,
You may be quite sure Il is May-time
When you hear the robin call
They IL tell you the winter s ended
You will hear it everywhere
Just for little sunshine
And breath Of April air,
But you may be sure of one thing
As sure as that rain will fall,
1t is really. truly springtime
When you hear the robin call

CATTLEMEN FEEL BETTER.
Dickinson Dealers Think They Have
Been Treated More Fairly.

The Dickinson county cattle feeders
and shippers feel better. The con-
ference arranged between the Kansas
cattIemen and railroads at Topeka
Saturday resnlted in the differences
being adjusted. The railroads gave
the cattlemen pasturage or feeding
in transit rate, but declined to restore
the old carload rate.
The roads propose to abolish the
weighing system Of which the CATTLE
men complain and accept the weights
at the Kansas City stock yards, by
which the cattle are sold. The roads
also promise to take up the individual
cases complained Of and make an Of
fort to right wrongs which may exist
The conference ended by general
hand-shaking despite the fact that
some OF the cattlemen charge that
nothing has been gained for the lat
stock shipper and that the agreement
reached is compromise in which the
cattlemen surrendered. The railroad
men claim that they have met the
cattlemen more than half way and
made important concessions.
The litigation which the cattlemen
inaugurated recently will be pushed
vigorously, meanwhile they will take
advantage Of the concessions which
the roads have made. The courts
will have to settle it in the end but 1t
Is something to have good nature in
the matter.
