VAIN WRIGHT RECOGNIZED.
Brilliant officer Made Superinten-
dent of Annapolis Academy.

Washington, D. c., Feb 9.-Rear-Ad-
miral +. V. McNair, who has recently
been on sick leave, has, on account of the
continued ill-health asked to be detached
from the superintendency of the Naval
academy at Annapolis, and be given sick
leave for an extended period. and his re-
quest has been granted by the navy de-
partment.
Secretary Long says the illness of Ad-
miral McNair is much regretted by the
navy department, where his administra
ton of the affairs of the Naval academy
has been highly commended
Admiral McNair is the ranking rear
admiral in the navy, being second only
to Admiral Dewey, and be has had a
long and honorable career extending over
period of forty-two years, of which
nearly twenty-one years were passed at
sea.
The President has designated Com
mander Richard Wainwright to succeed
Admiral McNair as superintendent of
the Naval academy. This is a great com
pliment to an officer OF his rank and is
due to his exceptional ability and the
signal services rendered by him during
the Spanish-American war while in COM
mand of the auxiliary cruiser Gloucester.

Armenian, HISTORIAN and Fire worship
per city women give somewhat less heed
to concealment, and the village women
are quite free. All of these in the coun-
try, and the city ladies in their houses,
dress in bright colors, red and green and
yellow; and the village streets and high
ways get their little brightness from
them, or from the equally gay dress of
the men. The Jewish girls are adorned
also with trinkets and jewelry, especially
with the little silver cases containing por-
tons of the Old Testament law. The
Fire Worshippers, or Guebres, are but
few in Persia now, though it is the land
of their origin: but their women can be
picked out at once in Teheran, or in the
few cities where they are found by their
dress. Outside of Teheran is the Tower
Of Silence, where, believing neither in
cremation nor in burial, the Fire Wor-
Shippers expose their dead. From the
hillside it looks out in solemn stiffness
over the broad, dead plain, even as the
dead of this dying people look up in sol
emn stiffness from their CHASTITY burial
place to the unanswering sky.-Robert E.

the forward movements of the period
They embody much of woman's finest

are concerned with municipal improve

identifying of home life, and with indi-
vidual progress toward whatever is best
and most educational in current affairs.

Women in Persia.

But life is sad in Persia, especially the
woman's life. The law of Islam allows
each man to have four wives, and as
many concubines and slave girls as his
hand can hold. His wives, also, he may
divorce at will. Our word "bosh'' is the
Turkish word by which MOslem di-
yorces his wife. 1t doesn't count if he
says it only once Or twice, but if said
the third time the woman must go, and
there is no recourse. Down along the
Caspian the men often marry their wives
in the spring, SO as to have the benefit
of their labor in the rice fields. and di-
vOrce them in the fall so as to escape sup
porting them during the winter AT Mes
he'd, where the pilgrims come, is large
population OF temporary wives who are
married to the pilgrims, far from home
and families, for as long a time as the
pilgrims remain at the shrine-a day, or
Il month. The Mohammedan priests
draw up the contracts for these tempo
rary alliances. Lord Curzon, who has
been there, says Meshed, though the holt
est city in Persia, is the wickedest in
Asia. There are no words for wife and
home in Persian. There are no homes
and few wives. 1t is curious to hear d
HANDSOME woman say: Il have told my
husband II he marrieS another wife /
shall poison him, and | intend to do it."
Or to ask woman about her home life
and get the answer, Love my husband?
Oh, yes, L love him. l love him as much
as a sieve holds water"
In the cities the Moslem wonderland
all but about sixty thousand or so Of the
four million women of the land are Mos
Iems-never appear in public save dressed
in black and heavily yelled, the eyes
looking out through small meshed space
of the veil. Custom, fear of men, and
not modesty, impose this dress. The
poorer women or the women in the vii
lagos wear no wells, or throw the wells
back and leave their faces uncovered, I'M
less now and then in a coquettish way
they draw a fold of the dress across the
mouth. The Jewish women often dress for
the street as the Moslem women do. The

VICTORIA JERESAU CARVES Pc
TER, HER HUSBAND, BADLY.


A stabbing affray occurred late last
night at the home Of Peter Jeresau,
South Robert street and Fairfield avenue
Jeresau, the victim, is lying in a crit
ical condition at the city hospital, and
his wife, Victoria, is occupying a cell at
the Ducas street police station.
The following story is told by the po-
lice: Jeresau came home about 10 o'clock,
bringing with him a watermelon. His
wife disagreed with him as to the dis
position that should be made of it, and
in a short time words came to blows and
blows came to the using of knives.
1t is said that Mrs. Jeresau picked up
a butchers knife and made savage,
lunge at her husband. The first attempt
was failure, but the second time she
rushed at HIM she inflicted an ugly
wound in his abdomen.
The Ducas patrol wagon was called and
he was removed to the city hospital.
where the doctors ascertafned that the
incision was about three-quarters of an
inch in length, and penetrated to the in
testinal covering.
Jeresau is about thirty-eight years Of
age and his wife is about the same age.
The physicians at the hospital report
that his condition is critical and that
his chances for recovery are small al
though he was resting easily at midnight.
tJeresau is a laborer. He has three
children.

REJECTS BIDS FOR COAL
PARK BOARD HOLDS A BUSY SEES
SION LAST NIGHT

Aid. Ben Knauft appeared before the
board of park commissioners last night
with a proposition to construct a public
driveway at the Indian mounds, which
he proposed should extend from the end
of Earl avenue around the bluff to Hoff-
man avenue. The estimated cost of the
driveway he placed at 5000, but the park
board members were not of the opinion
that the work could be done for that sum.
The matter was informally presented, and
no action was taken upon it
Bids TO furnish coal for Como park were
read. After some discussion as to the adj
visibility of buying coal at present, the
bids were all rejected, and q motion
carried that Supt Nussbaumer buy the
coal as it is hereafter needed in open
market. The certified checks which ac-
companied the bids were ordered re-
turned.
The pay roll for men and teams for the
month of July in the parks, amounting
to S5,77S.52, and the police pay roll of $3.50
were passed.
President Wheelock brought to the at
tention of the board a proposition to con-
denim certain lots at the Lafayette school
and convert them into a park. The mat
ter had been originally brought up by
certain residents in a petition. 1t is their
desire that these lots, which are from
to IL, inclusive, of block 10. In Brool1iynd
West st. Paul, be made into a park
which will also answer the school chill
drens purpose as a playground, the state
ment being made that the children of
this school are without suitable play
ground
The board passed a preliminary reselu-
ton condemning these lots, merely for the
purpose of bringing the matter to the at
tention Of the people holding property
which would be assessed by this improve
ment
Regarding the proposition the board is
of the opinion that unless the property
can be bought very cheap, and the prop
erty owners agree to the improvement, it
should not be made.
A communication was read from Assist
ant Corporation Attorney Arthur J. Stob-
bart advising the board Of it's right to
condemn a strip on each side of Lexing-
ton avenue forty feet wide for park pur-
poses The matter as to the boards pow
er in this action had involved some ques
ton. No further action was taken upon
this proposition.
Supt Nussbaumer recommended in a
written report to the board that a tubular
we'll be placed at the barn in Como, and
the secretary was authorized to advertise
for bids for constructing such a we'll. The
plans and Specifications of the superin-
tendent are to be followed by the bid

list, why all right but he would not be
in favor of Mr.. Helm taking up the
boards time on assessments that were
not on the tax lists already, as the
board had no juridiction to place them
on If they were not already on the tax
lists. After a few preliminary remarks

sessed enough. The matter was finally
