1t is for the development of the indi-
vidual soul that we are born into this
world. If the individual character is
not developed in a woman, she is no
better off than horse or COW. Con-
slider carefully and earnestly what are
your own particular talents, your own
convictions of right and justice, and do
what you think best. If you are
wrong, you will suffer for it and learn
thereby. If you are right, you will
have grown and cultivated a new flow
er for eternity. Do not take up fad
merely for the sake of posing or SEEM
ing different from others or of attract
ing attention to yourself, for that is
despicable. But consider in all seri-
BUSINESS what you yourself would rath-
er do and be; then 90 and do and be it.
Women, don't live in your affections
and don't live in the past. There never
was a past so good that there was not
still better future.

When q miserly old curmudgeon who

pSSR now Mrs. Ann Ham
XXI iltOn is struggling to
k>H fathOm the meaning If
kGA not the meanness, of life.
ESSSktM She was a widow when
kSfTyt<I she married Hamilton,
he n bachelor. She was
keeping bOarders and laying up money.
Hamilton being one of her lOdgers. He
had scarcely enough to pay his board
and was laying up not n cent. He was
a good sort Of man, however, and so
soon as she was his wife and he had
her to plan for him and furnish capital
for him to do business on he became
successful. They We're quite happy
and harmonious. She was ambitious
that they should be well tC DO in their
old age. SO she generously told Ham
ilton he need not even pay her any
more board after they We're married,
but should put his money into "the
business" she supporting him and her
self and giving him more capital from
her lodging house enterprise. So 1t
went on II years. BY that time Ham
ilton was worth $4,000, all made from
capital his wife had earned and fur
nished to him. But he put it into his
own name, take notice, with that chiv-
alrOus generosity characteristic of the
masculine sex. Then, having finished
things, he lay down and died. He left
no will, only a scrap of paper saying
he owed his wife II years board bill.
That was not worth a spring poem in
the court. When Mrs. Hamilton went
to claim her money, some relatives
whom she had never seen came and
took it from her, and the court decid-
ed it was theirs. Next time she mar
ries she will know what not to do.

SEVEN KILLED IN A WRECK.
Three Passengers and Fourteen Tralnmen
Badly Hurt

Los Angeles, Cal, (Special) A fatal
wreck occurred on the Santa Fe Rail
road one mile west of Franconia, Ariz.,
a switch station 20 miles east of Nee
dies, CAL
Seven trainmen were killed, three pas
sengers and ID tranmen injured. Linz
tied trains, one east, the other west
bound, crashed together while running
at full speed. The eastbound train was
drawn by two engines, while the west
bound train had but one locomotive
The three engines were crushed and
blown to pieces by an explosion which
followed the collision. Both trains were
made up of vestibule cars of the heaviest
kind, and while they stood the terrific
shock we'll and protected the passengers
to a great extent several of the cars
took fire and burned up. The dining
cars, one on each train; one Pullman
and two composite cars were destroyed.
The collision is said to have been due
to disregard of orders by the crew OF
the westbound train. From all accounts,
however, it is gathered that the eaGt-
bound train had orders TO take the siding
at Franconia, and await the passing OF
the westbound flyer, which was running
two hours late and trying to make up
time. The eastbound train failed to reach
the siding, and, as the westbound train
did not wait for it, the two trains came
together without warning and with an
awful crash.
The boiler of the westbound engine is
said to have exploded Immediately after
the crash, scalding to death those Of the
engine crews who had not been killed
outright. The bodies of Case and Armi-
tage, fremen of the eastbound train, and
Sam Brown, waiter of the opposite train,
are missing, and it is believed that they
were cremated in the flames that follow
ed the collision.
The sleeping cars, with one or two
exceptions, suffered slightly, and as
result the passengers were afforded COM
parative immunity from injury.

Be Unprecedented.

Philadelphia Pa, Especially The ex-
penditures to be made by the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad Company in 1902 for
rolling stock will aggregate $25,ooo,ooo,
a sum believed to be unprecedented in
railroad history.
Of this amount about 100000 will
be expended for cars and the other So
100000 for locomotives. AS already an
nounced, the company will require 10000
new freight cars for 1907, the greater
number of which have already been or
dered. While no locomotives for 1902
delivery have been ordered, the require
ments in that direction for next year
have been determined upon approximate
ly at 400 locomotives. Of this number
200 will be required for the lines east of
Pittsburg and 100 for the Western lines.
All of these locomotives will be of the
heavy modern type. With the exception
of about 100 all of them will be duilt

DEPARTMENT OF
The INTERIOR
Secretary Hitchcock Submits His An
nuaI Report.
POLICY TOWARDS THE INDIANS.
Each Able. Bodied Red Man to Work His
Alotment-He Dwels Particularly Upon
the Necessity of Reservoirs as a Part oil
a National System of Forest and Wate'
Conservation.

Washington, D. C., Especially Tho
annual report of Secretary Hitchcock
of the Interior Department, just made
public, indorses the conclusions submit
ted by Commissioner of Indian Affair."
Jones regarding the present Indian edu
cational system. The Secretary says:
"The management of the Indian sery-
ice in the field and in the schools, while
satisfactory under existing conditions, IS
not deemed to be the best for the well
fare of the Indians, and different meth
DDS will hereafter be adopted. This
policy contemplates requiring the work
ing by Indian allottees able to do so of
a fair portion of lands allotted them and
the contributing by their industry to
their own support of all not entirely dis
qualified by actual disability, physical
or otherwise, the discontinuance of the
issue of rations to those able to sup
port themselves and the extension to the
latter of every possible aid for their
well-being and encouragement; the in
stitution Of industrial training in all
schools where not now established so
that such Indians of both sexes may be
taught the trades or industries adapted
to their circumstances"
The income of the various Indian
tribes from all sources during the year
aggregated $5,338,88o, a falling off of
$26o,o52, due mostly to the expiration
of treaty obligations.
The curriculum of Indian schools, the
Secretary says, should be restricted to
the common school course and the turth-
er extension of non-reservation schools
should not be permitted.
The Dawes Commission to the Five
Civilized Tribes in Indian Territory re.
ports that the rolls of membership OF
only one nation-the Seminoles-So far
haev been approved and their lands have
not yet been entirely allotted. There is
vast amount of labor yet to be per-
formed by the commission in investi-
eating the claims of applicants for en-
rollment and equalizing the value OF the
lands already classified, and Secretary
Hitchcock recommends that the commits
sion be increased by four members. He
also favors modification of the law re-
curing distribution of lands on the
basis of equalized valuation and that
definite period be fixed for the compile
ton of all the work pertaining to the
allotment of lands among the Indians
in the Territory.

FOR REPRESSION
OF ANARCHISTS
United States Solicitor General Richards
Tells How to Do II.
THE TIME FOR ACTION HAS COME.
Unnecessary, Says Mr.. Richards, TO Amend
the Constitution 10 Obtain the Power to
Suppress Anarchism-COngresS Can lntrust
10 the President the Power to Exclude
Alien Anarchists.

Philadelphia, Pa, (Spccial)-J. K.
Richards, Solicitor General of the Uni
ted States, in notable speech at the
Founders Day banquet of the Union
League here spoke on the need of leg
islation for the repression of anarchy.
He said the President of the United
States ought to be protected by the law
of the United States. Not only his
safety, but the dignity Of the republic
demands this" said Mr. Richards. The
President takes an oath that he will
faithfully execute the Office of Presl-
dent of the United States, and will
preserve, protect and defend the Con
stituton of the United States. This
Constitution enjoins him to take care
that the laws be faithfully executed.
The solemn obligation thus imposed is
not intermittent, but continuous. From
the time he takes the oath until he dies
or retires, wherever he may be, without
interval or cessation, he is President OF
the United States, and engaged in exc
cutting that Office And for this reason
the power of the nation should safe
guard and protect him always and ev-
erywhere: Authority to do this is clear.
Every right secured by the Constitution
may be protected by Congress, and there
is no higher right under the Constltu-
ton, no right whose free exercise is
more vital to the Constitution, than the
right of faithfully executing the office
of President of the United States A
murderous assault upon the President,
aimed as it is at the life Of the govern
ment, imperils the security of the whole
country, and whether successful or I'M
successful, should be punishable by
death
"If Congress intrusts to the Presi-
dent the power to exclude alien anarch-
lists and to deport all unnaturallzed ones,
fancy it will not be difficult to put in
operation all effective plan of Kidding the
country of these bloody-minded pests.
Surely the time for action has come
No more atrocious crime can be COM
mitted than the one for which we know
anarchism is directly responsible. !
take the view that it is safe to repress
crime, no matter in what guise present
ed or how widespread and reckless its
adherents By the concurrent action or
civilized nations anarchists ought to be
placed under the ban of universal law.
The red flag of anarchy should be driv..
en- from the land as the black flag OF
piracy has been driven from the sea-.
