Head. there was nothing to show that
the wind ever blew from the north or

weather of Kamehameha Day, there
was an extraordinary swetering heat,

lief of evening and seemed to enjoy the
day in retrospect better than had been
the rule during the passage Of the
day.
II was a great crowd which gathered
to see the racing. 1t did no, come
early. There were vacant spaces all
over the stands when the first race
was called. but these disappeared as

nothing of dearth of enjoyment once

years of faithful service he had been

people not knowing the circumstances
sympathized with him; among others
several members of the Republican Ter
ritorial Committee. The latter say
that Wilcox, as "a good Republican"
should have been retained. A member
of the board speaking of this text last
evening, said: I'VE cannot keep an in

SECRETARY WILCOX TURNED
OUT OF OFFICE FOR CAUSE

Charles w. Wilcox has been dis
missed from his position of secretary
of the Board of Health. No appoint
nent has been made to the vacancy,
though several eligible names have
been canvassed.
For some time past the present
Board of Health has been dissatisfied
with the work of it's secretary. Pre-
yious boards have been of the same
mind. but have hesitated to discharge
Wilcox for fear of being accused of
drawing a color line. Color, however
had nothing to do with the matter, Will
cox being deemed incompetent. Dur
ing the plague it was necessary to put
all his responsible duties into the hands
of Mr. Hendry, although Wilcox now
turns up with bill in the Legisla-
ture asking for $500 for additional work
done at that time, in his capacity of
secretary
To the fault of incompetence wilcox
who is a brother of the Home Rule
Delegate in Congress-has added that

Legislature met Wilcox has been run

TO use against the board that employs
him. The figures used and the state
ments made by Mossman in his attack

Wilcox. as no member OF the board
gave Mossman any data, and Wilcox

There were on that day half dozen citizens of this place in Prescott and the item could have easily been verified. Should the smallpox appear in Flagstaff the SUN will publish the fact as it believes that there is nothing to be gained by the suppression of the fact that contagious diseases have ap. peared in our town. Mayor Ellinwood telegraphed the Journal-Miner Thurs day morning that no cases of smallpox existed here, that the report might be corrected as soon as possible.

IT is not generally known that the tax levy for territorial purposes has not for many years been large enough to run the territorial government and it's institutions. The reason given for this condition is that the legislatures have not taken the matter up properly. and as it would require an increased rate of taxation, they are lOathe to make change. Those who are famil- far with the situation say that the time when this will be done is being postponed from session to session and that it would be no difficult matter to place the territory on good financial footing.

A recent study of the industrial posi-

A recent study of the industrial posi-
ton women now occupy in New York
State discloses some facts of interest
to women everywhere. The first thing
which attracts attention is the increase
in the number of women who support
themselves and the greatly increased
list of occupations open to them. Fifty
years ago there were only twenty call
ings in which women were engaged.
To-day they compete with men in al
most every known occupation. In the
middle of the century only one woman
worked for every ten men. The ratio
at present is one to four, and ten years
later 1t will probably be lower still.
Moreover, women are changing from
unskilled to skilled laborers, thereby in
creasing their own earnings, and add
ing to the wealth of the community.
Only thirty years ago two-thirds of all
the self-supporting women in New
York State We're domestic servants;
that is to say, unskilled laborers The
relative number has gradually de-
creased, until now the domestic" rep
resents only one-third of those who
work. In diversity of calling the men
have little advantage over their sisters.
Among New York women there are
more than five hundred hotelkeepers,
five hundred janitors, one thousand
journalists, one hundred and fifty
preachers, and one hundred each of
lawyers, dentists, inventors, designers
and physicians. Even occupations here
t0f0re regarded as exclusively mascu-
line have their representatives. There
are women blacksmiths, brickmakers,
butchers, glass-workers, gunsmiths,
tanners, machinists, marble-cutters,
sawmill hands, steam-boiler- makers,
engineers and wood workers. Feminine
ingenuity has also created new occu-
pations. One woman has established
what she calls "cattery," where she
breeds high-class Angoras. Another is
a physician for parrots, mocking-birds
and canaries, and still another a dolls
boot-maker. Much of woman's indus
trial progress is attributed to the repeal
of the law under which a husband was
entitled to his wife's earnings. Let us
hope that the women, when they OBJ
tain full political power will refrain
from passing any law under which a
wife will be entitled to all of her hus-
bands earnings.
