at least fifty years old. Adam probably
made the same remark to Enoch, when
that cody youth wished TO take unto
himself wife The fact remains that
whether the girl of today is equal to her
grandmother or not. she probably suits
the youth of today better than that re
spected lady would If this is not SO,
any man who is really anxious to find
girl Of the sort his paternal ancestor
courted and won can probably discover
her in some Of the less progressive com
muniues Of or land.
a whimsical sketch in one Of the cur
rent magazines, entitled The Steel En-
craving Lady and the Gibson Girl"
contrasts these two maidens in a way
undattering TO the latter. It ends with
a picture of the old-tine damseI grace
fully reclining on a couch, with gal
liant lover kneeling at her feet and toy
ing with the rose fallen from her hair;
while the modern maid is sitting on d
fence beside a youth who calmly re-
quests her to get down ard stand in
front of him to keep the wind off while
he lights his pipe.
d
fancy sketch about both these pictures.
and if the diverse side of the picture
should be shown the advantage might
not be altogether with the past For
example, the Steel Engraving Lady,
after marriage, gracefully retired from
the table each evening to allow her lord
and master. together with the other
gentlemen. TO get intoxicated 1t was
not always a matter of a social glass Of
wine; it was often sheer, absolute
drunkenness. The Steel Engraving
Lady was not supposed to know about
it. but did she not know The Gibson
Girl may enjoy a glass of champagne
or sauterne after dinner with her hus-
band, but one glass will do neither of
them any harm.
The rose and guitar business is all
very pretty, but the Steel Engraving
Lady did not spend ali her time in be
ing adored. She was expected TO en-
dUTe without a murmur things which
no seIf-Tespecting human being COZ d
be expected TO tolerate nowadays. The
man OF today may not spend quite SO
much time saying pretty things to the
maiden of his choice. but he has put it
out Of the power of himself OF any other
man, in most of the United States. to
deprive a woman of her dowry, her
earnings, her clothes. and her children
after she has once entrusted herself to
him in marriage There was a time
when TIE married woman had absolute
y no right to anything Of her own. not
even her newborn child The modern
man does not confine his chivalrous
feeling to the woman whom he recoz-
nizes as his equal He admits the fact
that other men may not be willing to
concedc any rights to their wives. and
he intends that women shall have de-
cent treatment because intelligent and
rleht-feelins men want them to have ii.
whether the minority of brutal and IN
feeling husbands like the advancement
or not That is the direction which the
modern mans chivalry takes. and the
Gibson Girl probably likes 1t best.

THAT sLoopLEss REVOLUTION.
The Complicated Political Situation in

The northern end of South America is
in the midst of one of those political up
heavals without which life in that region
would seem unnatural. Thus far it has
been n bloodlcss revolution, but the dan
ger of wars rayases was sufficiently
threatening to cause various governments,
including the United States, to send the
warships thithcr for the protection of
their interests ON the isthmus of Panama
and in Colombia and Venezuela.
1t is now two years since the Liberals
of Colombia rose in open rebellion against
the Conservative government IL ever
since there has been more or less raidiny
and robbing. An effort was made to
capture Panama about a year ago and
nearly succeeded. The rebels, who have
arms and ammunition, are securely en-
trenched in the mountain businesses and
one man who has visited them declares
that one camp of 1000 men is so secure
in its position that 100 times their num-
Der could not dislodge them.
A peculiar political situation has re-
suited from this rebellion, which involves
several South American countries. The
rebels Of Colombia have the open sup
port of President Cipriano Castro and
the Liberal government of Venezuela, and
in the event of war Venezuelan troops
would undoubtedly aid the Colombian
rebels. The Liberals of Colombia are
also receiving moral support from their
fellow partisans in Ecuador and Nicara-
qua, where Liberal governments are N
power. Colombia's Conservative govern
ment is not popular with the governments
of the countries mentioned, but is popu-
lar with the revolutionary elements in
the same countries. The situation can be
likened to a disrupted federation, compos-
ed Of Venezuela, Ecuador, Colombia and
Nicaragua, in which Liberal and Con-
sentative parties are helping each other
and intriguing together. Being among
separate nations, however, the political
and armed intrigues threaten internation-
al trouble. 1t is reported that the Con
| servative revolt in Venezuela against
President Castro is receiving actual sup
port from the Colombian Conservatives.
N~icaragua's threatened revolution will
probably be similarly aided on the occa-
sion arising. These conditions give
ground for the report Of actual or threat
ened international complications, and the
talk of a federation or consolidation OF
some or all Of the countries mentioned
as a "Gran Colombia"

II STEEL STRIKE.
No Material Change in the Great In
dustrial Conflict.

uttStTAAt AtIll1lCts
The steel strike situation has not very
materially changed, though in Pittsburg
the manufacturers have somewhat
in which they have resumed operations.
Two mills of the Painter plant have been
added to those already in operation. The
strikers have not called out any more
men, though the work of organizing the
employees in the non-union mills is going
on. They are apparently awaiting the
next move Of the manufacturers.
In Pittsburg business is greatly affect
ed by the strike, the iron and steel mar
ket being demoralized and the hardware
trade being also affected. Many small
factories and shops using iron and steel
are either closed or are threatened with
idleness. The owners of boats engaged
in the ore and coal trade are feeling anx-
ious, for unless there is a speedy re-
sumption of iron and steel production the
mining of ore must cease. This impend-
ing s%tagnation has aroused the efforts
of the Civic Federation to attempt q set
Element Of the strike and every endeavor
is now being made to put an end to the
ruinous industrial war.
Meantime at Bellaire, Mingo junction,
McKeesport and Wheeling the strikers
maintain a strong upper hand and though
they are ready to discuss peace terms
they will lot sue for them
A conference at which conditions Of
peace in the strike were discussed was
held Wednesday at the office of the Unit
ed States Steel Corporation in New York.
The participants in the discussion includ-
ed President Charles NJ. Schwab Of the
United StatdA Steel Corporation, Samuel
Gompers, President of the American
Federation of Labor; John Mitchell, pres
ident of tie United Mine Workers. Assoc
citation; Prof. jerks of the industrial COM
mission; Secretary r. NJ. Easley of the
Civic Federation, and Harry White, sec
rotary Of the Garment Workers Associa-
tion. The conference was asked for by
Samuel Gompers and John Mitchell, who
were believed to be acting in behalf Of
President Theodore j. Shaffer and the
Amalgamated Association.

This was IL frank, so bold. so auda-

face. and. for ONE seconds, looked as il

sprang to his feet. and approaching Colin

out:

were the commandments of all the
armies. Ion brought me here to insult

Colin Morton did look as if he would
strike back. and the commissioned ruff
fan had so little doubt about it that he
did not wish to try the experiment,
though knocking down enlisted men was
with him Il matter of daily occurrence.
Instead of replying to Colin Morton,
the major shouted:

No. / Cotton Belt passenger train,
leaving Texarkana, Ark, at 9:25 p. M.
Tuesday in charge of Conductor Arm
strong and Engineer Henderson was held
up and robbed near Eylau.
The train was tagged by one Of the
robbers, who forced the fireman to go
back and cut off the mail and baggage
cars. and returning, forced the engineer
to give up the management of his engine.
One of the robbers, who, it appears, is an
expert engineer, ran the engine, mail and
express cars about a mile from the point
where the first stop was made and fore
ed the express messenger to open his
car. The robbers then blew open the
safe with dynamite, securing, it is said,
a very large amount Of booty.
The engineer ran back, picked up the
mail and express cars. and, going to the
remainder Of the train, coupled on and
continued south. Neither the passenger
nor the mail cars were molested by the
robbers. The spot selected for the rob.
berry was well adapted for this kind Of
work. 1t is very wild and heavily tim
bered. There were five men in the gang.
The robbers, after securing the loot, cut
off the engine from the mail and express
cars and, forcing Engineer Henderson to

Tribes that Find Small Favor with

Some E%nglishmen call the natives of
India "niggcrs." with an emphatic ad.
iective often prcfiNcd. Persons of this
kind, with the same exquisite accuracy
and the same Just sense of superiority,
call the races of South Africa mig
gers" also. Some persons are neither
wiser nor better bred than the Beers,
who habitually refer to the natives as
"black cattle or .'black trash.'' The
fact is that the natives are neither ne.
groes nor black. The aborigines appear
to have been bushmen, who are Il din.
gy yellow color. These have been
pressed southwark and broken up into
scattered communities by invading PEG.

tots are believed to be of mixed bush.
men and Bantu descent. In physical
characteristics they resemble the bush.
men; and they speak a tongue like
theirs, full of clicks, and like theirs in
grammatical construction.
To the similarity of grammatical con.
%struction, however, there is one impor.
tant qualification, according to the
Monthly Review. The busllman Ian.
guage is that primitive type which has
no genders, While the H%ottentot Ian
guage is seN-denoting. The Bantus of
eastern and central South Africa are
generally divided into two great PEG.

belong. though there are isolated com.
munities of bushmen. Soft is their
speech and pleasant to the ear, full Of
