Spinistcrs in Glover.

In Denmark the spinsters state has
been robbed of much of its horror. In
fact, there's a premium on spinster-
hood. A celibacy insurance company
has been founded, and between an in
surance policy and a. husband Dan
ish maiden's heart is rent with inde-
cision. Matrimony is interesting but
problematic. Insurance in good COM
pany is a safe proposition. How shall
a wise woman choose? If the holder
OF a policy in the celibacy is still un
married at 40 she is considered i'm
mune and gets a life annuity. # she
marries before 40 she forfeits her pol
icy and premiums. In Sweden and
Norway there are several old maids
homes, and at least one of them is a
most attractive institution. A very
wealthy man, dying more than two
hundred years ago, left most of his
fortune to the old maids among his
descendants. A superb home was built
and furnished. and managed by sala-
ried trustees Any old maid who can
prove blood relationship to the found
er Of the institution is entitled to a
place in the home. She has a private
suite Of rooms. private servant, eri-
vate meals, and is subject to no r,iles
save such as ordinary good behavior
demands. Why doesn't some one 10
something for the American old maids
who cannot master the art of trans
forming themselves into bachelor
women.-New York Sun.

CULTURE is FOR ALL.

Only = Coarse Person Laughs at Poor
Peoples Studies.
Culture is not barred to anybody in
America. whether he be a college stu
dent or a postgraduate, or not, said
J. T. Hatfield to the SelfEducational
club in Chicago the other day. Slave
labor and its prohibition Of intellectual
growth are things of the pastor near
ly SO. Now and then we meet so-call-
ed fine ladies who find it extremely
ridiculous and cause for contemptu-
GUS merriment that the hired help In
their kitchens should have the impu-
dence to actually want to develop a
taste for music or good literature or
art. The old slave idea, which (very
consistently prohibited as a crime and
punished severely the teaching Of ne
groes how to read is not entirely dead
and buried, but exists, here and there,
to this day, as have had opportunity
to notice. Especially did l gain such
an impression in the United States
navy. which is rather a feudal sur
vival in some respects. l noticed that
common sailor might be as vile
and profane and low as he chose, and
no one was troubled about it. He
could go ashore and carouse disgrace
fully, parading the uniform OF his
country into all sorts Of dens of infamy
and no one in authority would COM
plain or worry They seemed, on the
whole, rather satisfied than otherwise
that the slaves of the forecastle should
find something to keep them amused
and cOntented, but | observed that,
while there was no law on the subject,
II sailor attempted to pass his time
like quiet, self-respecting gentleman
and American citizen, especially If he
sat quietly reading on the deck during
his free hours, it always caused GER
of the officers who saw it; they SEEM
ed to have an instructive sense that
that sort Of thing reduced somewhat
their immense superiority over the
crew, and they found some way to
break 1t up, too, every time. These
things, however, which are rather the
rule than the exception in European
society are going fast in American life
and the time Is already here when ev-
cry self-respecting man has the oppor-
tunity to put himself at the task Of
self-improvement on the highest side
Of his nature. With an eight-hour
working day the plumber or carpenter
has, l believe, more free time to put

MARYLAND TOWN WIPED OUT
Twenty Business Houses and Seventy
Dwellings Destroyed.


Cumberland, Md, Nov. 13.-The
mining town of Thomas, on the West
Virginia Central and Pittsburg rail
way, was almost wiped out by fire,
which started at 2 a. m. under Gers
berger's hotel. The town was without
fire protection and the frame houses
fell easy prey to the flames. Twenty
business houses and 70 dwellings were
consumed. The Catholic church.
opera house, Gersberger's and Rey-
nolds' hotel, the water station and sew
eral houses belonging to the Davis
Coal and Coke company were de-
stroyed.
The town was supported mainly by
the Davis Coal and Coke company and
the West Virginia railroad. The latter
has given the residents all the box
cars at Thomas to shelter the home
less. The east end of the town was
destroyed, including the four principal
business blocks. Many travelling men
lost their samples and money and
scores of people were driven from
their homes.

NO Definite ROUTE.
asthmian Canal Commission Report
Ready for Submission.

Washington, Nov. 1.-THE Isthmian
canal commission will meet Tuesday
to add the finishing touches to it's re-
port. 1t can be stated by authority
that the commission has not reported
up to this time, In favor either of the
Nicaraguan or the Panama project.
Consequently the question has not fig
ured before the cabinet and the admin.
istration has not expressed a prefer.
ence for either route. It is expected
that the commission will not under
take either to accept nor to reject the
proposition of M. Hutin looking to the
acquisition by this government of the
Panama Canal company's concessions.
It is expected it will lay the PROPOSE
tion before the president and congress.
It can be stated also by authority that
in view Of the well understood favor
with which congress heretofore has re-
garded the Nicaraguan route, the de-
cision Of the executive departments
will be in favor of that project.
