its sides and ends covered

Statistics seem to vindicate the
educational preference Of the college
woman. Professor Mary Smith OF
Stanford university has been gathering
information about her career and has
made a report. The college woman
marries at 26, two years later than her
sister who did not 60 to college. but
she marries better. She has good
health. but no better than other wom-
en-. She IS twice as apt to earn her
living before marriage as other women
are. Once married she has about as
many children as other women do,
but whereas Al per cent. OF the child
rem Of other women are boys, the per-
centage OF boys among the children
Of college women is stated to be IS per
cent. That seems odd, muses. Life,
but It will hardly keep women out Of
college, for mothers as d rule like

TEACHERS TROUBLES
A TRYING OCCUPATION FOR
WOMEN WITH DELICATE NERVES
The Hard work Entailed by the
Charge of School Room Often
Causes the Health to Break Down.

From Tie Tribune, Minneapolis, MINI.
Teaching school is an occupation
which has many attractions for cultur-
ed women. but it also has many draw
backs and often affects their health
seriously. Especially is this so in the
case Of women with delicate nervous
systems and those with tendency -
pulmonary troubles. Miss Mary X.
Powers. of Ellsworth. Wis. is a teacher
whose health was broken down by the
hard work which the charge of large
school entails. She says;
During the winter of 1898. while
teaching school, I became subject to
nervousness, which grew worse until
my whole system was run down. My
back ached and at times l was SO dizzy
that l could hardly stand. My limbs
We're swollen and always tired, so that
I felt no more rested in the morning
than when / went to bed. l was also
troubled with a cough and the food
ate did not strengthen me. This con-
dition. accompanied by palpitation of
the heart, kept up for several months
until in March. when ! read about Dr.
Williams Pink Pills for Pale People in
a Juneau. Wisconsin newspaper
Il began taking the pills and in about
a week I noticed change for the bet
ter. / felt 50 encouraged by this i'm
provement that I kept on taking them
until l had used three boxes. and was
entirely cured. l always keep Pink
Pills by me and l take them occasional
ly when I feel the need of tonic.
Il believe firmly in the good done by
Pink Pills for Pale People and have ad-
vised many Of my friends to use them

WHAT IS GOING ON IN THE
BIG ISLAND OF HAWAII

Hil.D October 3l.-A new political par
ty has been organized which is to sup.
plant the Independent Hawaiian party
the new organization to be altogether re-
publican in politics. At second meet
ing Wednesday night at the armory the
question of a successor TO Representative
Ewalko was generally discussed. There
were many speeches made, and the urift
of feeling was plainly toward man who
would be satisfactory to all parties. The
name of John Baker was mentioned, but
he would not allow his name to be con
sidered The final vote resulted in the
nomination of James Lewis, Il defeated
candidate on the republican ticket at the
last election. There was a strong vote
for David Ewahko and j. X. Pahao, and
kealawaa came-in Tor scattering votes.
a little row was raised when II was pro-
posed to raise S2j by subscription to pay
the cost of securing n petition and filing
the certificate Of nomination of Mr.
Lewis. IT was finally settled By allow
ing Mr.. Lewis to pay his own bills. Lewis
is a prosperous half Hawaiian contractor
and being chosen from the republican
ranks stands n good chance OF endorse
ment from the other parties. His nomi-
nation was the first practical result to
come from the organization of the Ha-
waiian republican society.

NEVER ASKED FOR AID.
FederatiOn's Financial Assist
ance was Not Requested.
URGED A GENERAL STRIKE
President of the Fed Grafton States that
the AmaIgnmated's Leader REQUEST
ed Him 10 Order All Union Men TO
Cease Work.

Washington, Oct. 5.-President
Gompers, of the American Federation
OF Labor, publishes in the October
issue of the Federationist, the official
organ of that body, vigorous state
ment in reply to charges made by
PresidNnt Shatfer, of the Amalgamat-
ed association, regarding the attitude
of Mr.. Gompers and President Mitch
ell, of the United Mine Workers, dur
ing the steel strike.
Mr.. Gompers says: ''Mr. Shaffer
says that he especially relied upon
the Federation of Labor for financial
assistance. | assert that he never
asked for any. No request. either
written, telegraphed or verbal, was
ever received during the entire strike
at the Office of the American Feder-
alton of Labor from Mr.. Shaffer, or
from any other representative of the
Amalgamated association asking for
financial assistance. Yet [ venture
to assert that nearly every dollar of
financial assistance received at the
office of the Amalgamated association
came from unions affiliated with the
Federation of Labor, and if the fed
Grafton as such did not give a cent it
was because it was neither directly
nor indirectly asked to do so''
Regarding Mr.. Shaffer's statement
that he arranged meeting between
j. Pierpont Morgan and Gompers for
which he alleges Mr.. Morgan gave up
his vacation, but Mr.. Gompers failed
to appear, Mr.. Gompers says: "Mr.
Shaffer says what is untrue and he
knows it,"
The terms of the agreement Sc
cured by Mr. Shaffer on September ii,
and those secured by Gompers, Mitch
ell and others, September 4, are print
ed in parallel columns, the former
enumerating the Canal Dover and
Demmler mills among those not in
cluded as union mills, and the latter
providing for them as union mills.
Mr.. Gompers says Mr.. Shaffer now
knows that it is unwise for men at
the head of organiza tions to declare
for policies which the rank and file
will not approve, and that if such
common sense is ignored the men will
desert their leader.
Mr.. Gompers says that what Mr..
Shaffer wanted him to do was to have
a general union strike in aid of the
steel strike. This Mr.. Gompers says
he could not do. 81 felt confident"
says Mr.. Gompers, that the executive
officers of the trades unions of Amer
lea ought not and would not violate
their agreements with their employ
ers throughout the country. Hence
there would not and ought not to be
widespread sympathetic strike"
Noncompliance with this request,
it is asserted, is the basis of the bit
ter attacks by Mr.. Shaffer. Mr.. Com
pers says Mr.. Mitchell denied to him
that he ever had promised to call out
the miners.

A NEW TOWN.
Westinghouse 60. SViII Build One n
short Distance East of PitIsburg.

Pittsburg. Oct. 4.-The Westing-
house Co. will commence at once the
erection of new town and a mann
moth foundry plant at Stewart Sta
ton, on the Pennsylvania railroad, a
short distance east of this city. The
company has secured $50 acres and
proposes to concentrate all of its
foundries in one plant and build
around it, for the benefit of the en-
ployes, town to be called Trafford
Park. The cost of the improvements
will reach $5,OOO,OOO, and over 5000
men will be employed in the work.
The men will be offered good in
ducements to have them purchase
homes in the new town. This will
be the third town built up by this
company, and as in the case of the
other two-Wilmer riding and East
Pittsburg-the object is to centralze
the interests of the company, lessen
the expense of the transportation
and in other ways cheaper the cost
of its products. The company has
now three foundries, one in Pitts
burg, one in Allegheny and the third
in Cleveland.

Fear an Indian Uprising.

Minneapolis, Mimi, Oct. 5.-Lars
Erickson, pioneer trader of the
Mile Lacs Indian country, called on
Gov. Van SAINT for aid yesterday. The
settlers on the south shore of Mile
Lacs Lake are in great fear of the In
dians, who are on homestead land
where they have no rights, but are
very ugly over the proposed removal
to White Earth, and over the small
pox quarantine. Erickson said the
settlers were seven hours from a tele-
graph line and all might be mas
sacred before help could arrive.

A SYMPATHETIC STRIKE.
Telegraph Linemen in Chicago are
Ready TO Go Out If Telephone Peo-
pie DO Not Yield.

Chicago, Oct. All the aerial line
various telegraph and telephone com
panies in Chicago, except about half
the Western Unions force, have de.
clared, according to the strikers OF
the Chicago Telephone Co., that they
will go out on sympathetic strike
unless the telephone company settles
with its striking hnemen. The first
step in the plan to tie up the city
telephone and telegraph lines was
taken Thursday, when 80 linemen of
the American District Telegraph Co.
at the stock yards announced that
they will not work until the tele-
phone strike is adjusted.
The telephone linemen declare that
every toll line coming into Chicago
will be useless within week, and
that if the affiliated unions strike the
great majority of the telephone and
telegraph lines will be made useless
in a short time.
Advices from nearly every town of
Importance in northern illinois are
that the linemen of the Chicago Tele-
phone Co. are out and that the tieup
of their department is complete.
The linemen at Elgin are the latest
to quit work. Though satisfied with
the wages and hours, they obeyed
the general order to man and are
now demanding an increase of so
cents a day.
At Joliet, Aurora, Bloomington,
Oak Park and all che north shore
towns the men are out.

Voted 10 Strike.

Fall River, Mass, Oct. 5.-The final
preparations for the greatest indus
trial strike that this city has ever eX-
perienced were made last night when
the operatives, with the exception of
spinners, voted unanimously to go on
strike next Monday. Late in the
afternoon a conference with no re-
suits was held between the executive
committee of the Manufacturers as
sociation and the textile councils Of
ficers. The reason for the strike is
the declination of the manufacturers
to raise wages per cent, in line with
the action of Mr.. Borden, OF the Iron
Works mills.
