he said, as they could be made consist
ent with good business management.
He thought any radical reduction would
be followed by disaster to the stock
holders and would result in no benefit
to- the public at large. There certainly
would be deficit, and in case of gov
ernment ownership the burden simply
would be shifted from the stockholders
to the people

Mr.. Clark said that in carrying the
government business between the Unit

al Company, which is under the control
of the Western Union, and which car

had carried more messages for the
United States in one year than it had
carried for Spain in thirty years. This
lexplanation led to the inquiry whether
the Wstern Union had not been pursu-
ling this course for the purpose of keep
ling the Postal Company out of Cuba.
No. sir, was the reply. We are sim

Rode PONY Into Posfoff,ce,

Aiken, S. c.. March l5.-In the may
Eor's court yesterday Miss Elsie Water
bury, of New York City, was fined So
for disorderly conduct, the same con
s;sting in riding her pony into the town
rostottice. Her plea that when she was
at home in Westchester she rides into
the postotfice every day for her mail
availed her naught.
Acting Mayor Glass presided, Chief of
Police Weeks acting as clerk of the
court. and the seating capacity of the
room was taxed by an audience that
was preponderatingly African. Miss
Waterbury did not appear, but her fa-
sther did. She was represented by Judge

THE CANAL TREATY.
Hay i. seeking sati.factory Ba.i.

Tor rNegot1at1ons.
Washington, March 15-With view
to securing basis for treaty with
Great Britain which Will permit the
construction of Nicaragua canal and
he acceptable to the senate Secretary
Hay was in consultation with Senators
Frye. Cullom and other members of the
senate foreign relations committee.
These senator's discussed the question
informally. and told Secretary Hay the
abrogation of the Clayton-Bulwe
treaty must be the first step taken be-
fore anything can be done towards the
Isconstruction of the canal.
There is strong disposition on the
part of many of the senators to abro-
gate this treaty by legislation without
consulting Great Britain in The matter.
1'he members of the foreign relations
committee, which Will have this ques-
lstion to deal with. do not look with much
favor upon such a revolutionary course.
They would like TO see the treaty abro-
gated. or at least modified materially,
but they favor having thus done in an
orderly manner. They assert the proper
way in which to abrogate the Clayton-
Bulwer convention is by another treaty
with Great Britain. They take the
ground that the treaty is an agreement
between two nations which was salts
factory to both when the treaty WAS
made. and that 1t would be dishonorable
TOR the United States to abrogate the
treaty by legislation without giving
Great Britain chance to be heard, sim
| ply because some Of the terms Of the
convention do not now suit the United
States government.
1t is anticipated that Great Britain
will ask something in exchange for
agreeing to the abrogation of the Clay
/ ton -Bulwer treaty, and it has been sug-
gested that some concessions be made
in the questions upon which there is a
disagreement between the two govern
ments- namely: the Alaskan boundary
or some other question.

PUZZLING
" TO MEN


When men are very young they think
they know all about women; when
they reach middle life they confess
they understand only few members of
the sex; when they attain the full ma
turity OF their mental power and have
had a wide experience they give the
problem up and confess that women
are past finding oat. An experienced
man Is amused II not angered to hear
callow youths hoasting about their
knowledge of womeD's ways. One
youth in cafe the other night deliver
ed the declaration that no wise man
ever had g. proposal of marriage re-
]ected by woman because wise man
could find out what the answer would
DO before he put the question. There
are a hundred little ways of finding
out a woman's mind" said he, "and
any man of experience can tell
whether his suit is favored. The pres
sure of the hand. the tones of the
voice, littlo attentions scarcely per-
ceptible but Offering glimpses of the
heart, speedily forgiven, all are signs
by which a mar nay foretell infallibly
whether the answer to his proposal
will be yes or nc"
The error of this young solon lay In
the fact that tc took reason to guide
MIN through the labyrinth of the femi-
nine mind. He was not aware that
women are inclined to be cold toward
the favored but yet unaccepted lover,
ana that no matter how infatuated the
siri may be she will rebuke any symp-
tom or assurance or confidence with
instant and condign punishment. But

is the most cheerless and contracted in
the house and II is no wonder that she
seeks TO fly from 1t on every occasion
that she receives an invitation to spend
an evening elsewhere. Every charit-
able institution in the country built
for paupers and orphans is fitted up
with steam heat cold water and the
matrons take great pride in showing
visitors the bathrooms with all the
modern improvements. And it is not
strange the girls who work for their
living would like a few of the priyi-
leges that are given to those who are
living on charity. 1t is not too much
to assume that the girls who live in our
homes and who cook our meat and
bread for us to eat may possibly have
the same ambitions to keep clean and
comfortable as those who are living in
charitable institutions. 1t is not going
beyond the bounds of all reason to
suppose that if n girl is earning her
living she has natural desire to be
self-respecting and might like closet

wish she had not suffered the affair to

traries. Few men ever get really ac-
quainted with woman until they
have married her and lived with her
awhile. She will hold her true self in
the background and recede as he ad-
vances. That is why many girls who
are popular with men are disliked by
women, who know them better, and
why the favorite of all the women is
sometimes neglected by the men and
permitted to become an old maid.
That, too. is why many men, soon

Beauty does not last except in rare
