The bicycle woman has Invaded
China, the last place OH earth where
one would expect to find her. Aside
from the national prejudice that exists

taking part in occupations or pastimes
that men ordinarily reserve for them
selves, the size of the Chinese women's

When Opportunity Knocked.

Every other night they met
And gave mankind rub,
The girls who hadn't the chance as vet
To give beau the snub;
And yet their sign in words of let
Read: Bachelor Maidens' Club"
They swore by the solar system and
The Scorpio group of stars
That man was only fit to stand
And drink at a dozen bars;
And they would never give their hand
To one that held cigars.
The leader wore derby hat
And yellow square-cut coat;
The secretary red cravat
And collar that pinched her throat:
While the treasurer looked so manbish
that
She could have claimed vote.
There seems to have been mishap y
To the plans of the maids antiqntk
The "bachelor club" has gone to rap
And the rooms are bare and bleak;
For it seems the president found chap
Who was making fifteen per week.

Allowance, Must Re Made,


The Republicans want to pledge this
country to a colonial system. but such
a system which does not recognize ra-
cial differences and that laws suitable
for one people are not adapted for an
other must inevitably prove failure.
Great Britain has recognized that the
jury system, however well adapted to
england, will-not do in India; and Rus
sia allows each of Its subject races to
retain its customs, Ideas and laws. The
United States will have to recognize
the same principle, instead of declar-
ing the Cubans and Porto Ricans and
Filipinos incapable of self government
because the Cuban elections are differ
ent from ours, because the Porto Rican
assembly does not follow the model of
an American legislature, or because the
Filipino has Ideas of his own about
politics.-New Orleans Times Demo

The Democracy needs not issues, but
standpoint. 1t must make true, in
telligent and worthy patriotism the
handspring of all Its actions for the

is the man who is deciding elections
nowadays. He is giving his vote to the
party that is most sincere in its atti-

cater on the one hand to the mob nor
on the other to the trusts. 1t is not
necessary that the Democratic party
have a deep and mysterious program
in order to achieve the support of the
independent-all the party needs to do
is to suppress Its jabberwocks and play
honest politics. The Republican party
is riding for fall, but the Democrats
must nevertheless play square politics

MANY MORBIDLY CURIOUS

clubs at the entrance to prevent curiosity
seekers from entering. but even then a few
forced an entrance through the air pass
ages.
The fire in the mine has not been ex-
tinguished, and the three lines of hose
were reinforced to-day. In some of
the lower places in the mine water
stands two feet deep. No bodies have been
recovered since yesterday, but the work
will continue as long as there is hope Of
recovering any of the unfortunates. Many
Of the miners, familiar with those en-
bodies are yet within the mine. The fallen
slate at various intervals throughout the
long shaft is being removed, but work is
necessarily slow. The three bodies taken
out yesterday were badly burned, but they
were supposed to be Hungarians and were
Inferred this afternoon.
The amount of money necessary for re-
lief is being raised by popular subscription.
The state mine inspector is on the scene,
but as yet has given out no statement re-
gardlng the SUPPOSED cause of the disaster.
