The Poor Girls chance at yassar.

Suppose, for example, you go to Vas
sar. The reasonable tuition of $500 q
year, and scholarships and loan funds

done, for a consideration" the demo-
cratic spirit that promptly distinguishes
service :rom servility and takes girl for
what she can do best-aH these conditions
give the poor girl a chance at Vassar,
as well as the rich one. Nobody knows
whether you are uncrating your own
bicycle, for convenience, or one for some
body else-for so cents-and nobody
cares. You may earn money by ironing
the wrinkles out Of gowns, delivering ths
mail, playing the piano for gymnastics,
arranging the books before service in tia
chapel, sketching in ink, or copying Glib
sons pictures, classifying in the museum,
copying with the mimeograph, or invent
ing some scheme that no one before you
has thought of. Once a girl conducted Q
bureau of sales" on commission, for all
who had articles to dispose OF, and she
made it pay well. For some OF the rea-
sons mentioned, or because Vassar was
the first woman's college fully equipped
as such, or because you wish to apply 10

suing curriculum as advanced as theirs,
or just because you fancy you will have

Lincoln's Birthplace Likely to be Sold for &
Sanitarium

DR.. R. G. Miller, President of the st.
Luke's Society, of Chicago, ILL.,, is in
Hodgenville, KY, to inspect the Lincoln
farm, the birthplace of President Lin
coin, with view Of purchasing it for. the
society. The farm is now owned by Mr.
David Grear, a New York millionaire.
The st. Luke Society desires to purchase
the historic spot for the purpose of erect
ing sanitarium for inebriates and for
morphine, cocaine and cigaret tends.
1t is the intention Of the st. Luke So
ciety, if its agent is successful in clos
ing the deal, to make this institution one
of the largest of its kind in the country,
and work will at once be begun on the
buildings, which are to be very large and
handsome structures.
On this farm is one of the best springs
in that section of the State. The water
is unusually cold, and it is thought to
contain minerals. The farm is two miles
south of Hodgenville, and is in a pictur-
turesque section of the county. The land
is rugged and is very inferior, being of the
red clay quality. The farm is rolling,
having on it number of long rayines,
adapted to the making of lake, which
the st. Luke Society intends to construct.

GUARDING BOUNTY JUMPERS.

Recruits from different sections of the
State were here daily received in consid-
cradle numbers. Large bounties were be-
ing paid at the time; some recruits came
into the barracks, with as high rs 81 900
IN their pockets. With them, of course,
were some nty-Jumpers. All were
closely guarded by these militia bows. who
at intervals furnished guards to convey
squads of 30 or 100 sometimes 200, re-
cruits to Fort McHenry, Baltimore: to
Washington, and to City Point. Va, The
usual mode of transportation was in box
freight cars fitted up with rough board
seats in the inside to crowd 40 or 80 in.
The most frequent and quickest route
from Elmira was by the Northern Con-
trail Railroad direct to Baltimore or WASH
ington via Harrisburg; but often this rail-
road would be so congested with business
that we would be sent by the Erie Rail-
road via New York and Philadelpbia
Often the guards, in this longer defonr
taking two days, would get pretty we'll
worn out, and then the few bounty-iumn-
ers would resort to all kinds of tricks and
devices to escape.
We were detailed more often than any
others for this guard duty to the front
and we remember on one occasion when
escortlng a large party of recruits with n
guard of 20 men and four officers. going
via New York to Baltimore, we seemed
to have an extra share OF these dishonest
bounty men, and in New York they some
how got word to their friends and we were
crowded by them on all sides; but only
two or three got away. When we got to
Baltimore two men who had been boast
ing that they would never go to the front
were so chagrined by being unable to es-
cape that they deliberately lay down in
the street and refused to walk farther.
But they were mistaken in thinking thst

one-half of the entire number captured.
Ohio is entitled to the credit of the 100

eminent would have called out the State
militia the same as in the preceding Sum-
mer, but the proposition Of Ohio got the
militia out earlier and for a longer term
than previous years.

days men mustered into the service of the
United States between April % and July

CONCERNING LYNcHINa.

The Birmingham Age-Herald notes, with consider
able satisfaction that the first of November negro
hung in Gainesville Ga, for the customary offense
had been accorded legal trial in the courts. The ex
ample, the AgeHerald remarks is as valuable as the
Jim Brown case in Alabama. Like Virginia, says the
AgeHerald Georgia and Alabama are getting into line
the law and order side
While it is true that no country in the world has
ever had the excuse for lynchng that has existed in
the South the time to stop ynching has undoubtedly
arrived Lynching has been believed to be necessary
account Of the growing prevalence of the crime of
rape on white women among the large negro popula-
tlon. 1t has been thought that lynchng was ustdabIe
in the of this particular crime for two reasons:
First because lynohng is very much swifter than exc
cution after legal trial with all the forms law
ond, because lynching saved the victim of the rape
fend from the shame OF testifying in court
The second argument which is the strongest is an.
swered by the consideration of the possibility in most
of proving the crime without the testimony Of
the victim. Where that is not possible there is not
judge the bench in the South who would not do his
utmost to protect the victim in giving her testimony
by excluding the spectators from the court room and
by prohibiting unnecessary cross-examinaton The
first argument with regard to the greater expedition OF
lynching is answered by this consideration The expe-
dition of criminal trials is entirely the hands of the
people. When the people really demand quick trial,
without unnecessary delays the wheels of justice are
always remarkably accelerated. striking instance of
this has just been shown in the trial of Czogosz
The Age.Herald is unquestonably right. The prac.
tce of ynching does great deal of harm to the South
1t prevents capital coming here from the North and
abroad. Much denunciaton is poured upon the South
for this reason only by Northern critics but also
by foreigners like Francis de Pressense the of the
academican OF the second empire, quoted from the
Paris Aurore by the AgeHerald. It is well enough
reply that these adverse critics do not understand the
peculiar conditions prevalent in the South but the
South is being hurt by the people taking The law in
their own hands. Lynching is justice, If you WILL but
Wild Justice The Southern States are civilized com
munities and should aim 10 be recognized as such
throughout the world II the people OF the Southern
States would SO regulate the of judicial pro
eedure in their courts that rape end would be tried

She'll repay them their loving and pay them agan
