Of the Supreme Court which II j. believed Will
settle the boundary line dispute which has
been going on between the city OF New Rochelle

Pelham a. his manor and sold the other and
10 the Huguenots who Ned from France, after
the signing of the Edict Of Nantes. They cut
II up into small farms and built stone fences
To separate them from the estate of Lord PEEL
These fences are -til standing andthe authori-
ties of Pelham have always asserted that they
were the true monuments representing the
original boundary line.
In 1897 the Roa~d Of Supervisors took the

Mr.. BRYAN has written to Col. ALEXANDER

We mention Mr.. BRyAS's epistle to Col.

No one will have the heart to deny either

The Movement Against Women
StcnOgraphcrs.

The wave Of opposition to women stenog-
raphers which has manifested itself in the
last few years appears TO bc travelling
westward. A recent despatch from ~.
Pau announces that the Northern Pacific
Railroad Company may soon dismiss from
its employ all the ON s~tcnographors in
it's various offices and substitute men in
their stead. The reason given for tho
change is that in railroad Offices women
amanuenses always remain such. while men
stenographers who are able to profit by the
training they receive are soon qualified To MI
higher places in the service. For women
clerks, ii is said. no promotion is possible
in railroad work.
The first distinct note Of complaint against
women stenographers was sounded about
three years ago in a pamphlet issued by the
Civil Service Commission at Washington
Therein il was indicated that the demand
for such assistants in the Government de-
