THE CANAL.

The opposition of Senator Ba-
con mas not materially stayed the
ratification of the new Hay
Pauncefote treaty, which sets
aside the obstructive Clayton-Bul-
wer treaty, Treaties with Nicar-
aqua aud Costa RIGA covering
grants of a wide right Of way will
soon be laid before the Senate,
and when all three are adjusted
and ratified, there should be moth
ing in the way of Senator More
gan's bill to appropriate $780,
OOO, 900 to the construction of a
canal, a proportion Of which to be
Immediately available. There
should not be further obstruction
to the passage Of a canal bill, but
there will be. M. Hutin is on the
ground, appealing to Congress to
accept at his own figures or at the
figures Of an appraisal the Pana-
ma scheme. The Washington
Star, an eminently trustwor-
thy and cooser vative paper,
7ntimates that the effort Of
NJ. Hutin is now, as in the past,
but a cloak fer the railroad op-
position. The international rail
roads do not deem il prudent IT,
appear openly, and so they put
M. Hu>in apd bis scheme for
ward as sha best policy remain
ing TO them. AS the Washington
Star says, cine time is prnpiti-
6as for D square fight at last,
with the enemy unmasAfd and
the people arrayed finally on the
side Of this great national enter
PRISE against the selfish interests
of a few corporations and a
squad Of foreign and domestic
holders Of stock in a bankrupt,
impossible scheme" Thus far no
SoutDern Senator has shown a
disposition to oppose the speedy
bullding1of the N caragua canal
except Senator Bacon, and his
ammunition contains no new ma
tesial. Senator Money favors the
ratification Of toe treaty, and it
is believed there will not be more
than a hat d.zen voGes cast
against It on Monday, when the
fual vote is to be taken.

The novelist, somewhat surprised at
the number of his admirers, shook
hands cordially with each shy guest,
never suspecting for moment that
mercenary Tom, with rabbits in his
mind, had collected a penny in advance
for each handshake.
1t was the belated minister who, ar
irving upon the scene, discovered the
sign upon the porch and pointed it out
to the astonished novelist, who hap
pened to have, fortunately, keen
sense of humor. The sound of their
uproarious merriment brought Mrs.
Barker and Alice to the porch, where
upon Tom and Grace promptly and dis
creetly vanished.
Well" said Grace, when a safe har-
x5or was reached, well probably get
whipped for this, even if we are too

SELDOM SAVE A DOLLAR.
Nearly All They Earn on
Their Dress.

No matter how large a salary
woman earns as typewriter, amanuen-
sis or private secretary, she is sell
dom able to command a dollar three
days after payday. They are always
in financial straits, and nine times
out of ten their salaries are mort
gagged before they are earned, says
the Chicago Chronicle. A few--a very
few-manage to have their lives in
sured for small amounts and a pro-
portion are sufficiently practical to
join societies that pay sick benefits,
but that is all. The remainder of
their earnings is spent for pretty
frocks and parasols and falfals, for
matinees and summer trips.
TO be sure, women do not make
large amounts generally. There are
few who draw a weekly stipend of
even $25, but whatever they earn they
spend. One young woman who al
ways resolves that the next time her
salary is raised she will put the ex-
ira amount in the bank each Satur-
day finds invariably when the addi-
ton to her wage comes that her eX-
penses increase in proportion and the
whole is spent before she knows it.
Another young woman known to
the writer who is paid $35 a week for
her labor spends every cent of it,
while her brother, who receives but
$25, saves five dollars each week
and has made a tidy little sum by in
vestments. The sister excuses her
self by declaring that women's
clothes cost far more than mems and
that, while her relative can dress
well on $500 year, she can barely
maintain good appearance on the
$500 she sets apart for tailor, dinner
and evening frocks.
The remainder of her income goes
in board, laundry bills, the small en-
tertainments she gives and her an
months rest.
In contrast to this case is that of a
young woman who was endeavoring
to live on SIS a week, but whose eff
forts were frustrated by the good Of
fees of an elderly friend who swept
every Saturday and wrested from her
willfully three dollars. This the
elderly friend put in bank in her
own name, so that the girl couldn't
draw it out when she saw love of
boa. 1t drew interest at three and
one-half per cent. Then when year
later the young woman had an eX-
cellent position offered her in Chica-
go she found to her amazement that
her long-headed friend had some
thing like $3.50 to give her for the eX-
penses of the trip.
This sounds like a dream or a fairy
tale, but it is perfectly true, and it
only proves that each working wom-
an" would be better off if she had
some one to sweep down upon her and
rob ner temporarily of her hard
earned lucre. Left alone, the chances
are she won't have cent.
