MT Ward In Washington.

'srhere are thousands of office seekers in the city of Washington now said Alderman George B. Ward, who returned from New York yesterday and the Presi- dent is desieged from early morning un- til night.
 T called on the President while In Washington" continued MT. Ward, and while in the ante room the little cham Der was filled with men sitting and stand ing but all contentedly waiting to talk to MT. Roosevelt. When my time came 1t was all done in such a rush l hardly had time to realize when the interview was over. I told the President if he did not intend to appoint Republican to the office of collector of internal revenue for Alabama that he could consider my name I guess my chances are about one to hundred.
 MT. Roosevelt is looking we'll" said Mir. Ward and does not show the signs of worry common with Presidents. He wears a turn down collar, black neck tie and a long Prince Albert coat His shirt was of purt white linen. As yet the Presidents hair has not turned grey"

CONGRESSMAN UNDERWOOD.

From the Bessemer Workman.
 There Is no man in the South today who is dearer to his people than Congressman Underwood of this district. and while he is a young man in years. he has the con- idence and esteem of the Democratic party in the country at large as we'll as at home, and the probability of his be- ing placed on the committee on rules is but small recognition of his able serv- ices as a leader in the last Congress.

Woman Advance Representatives.

Miss J. w. Walker, advance repreSen- tative of the Innes Band Is in Birming- ham, having registered at the Hillman yesterday. She is here to advertise the coming of the band.
 Miss Walker enjoys the distinction of being possibly the only woman now trav- cling in advance of any road show. The work required of the advance agent Is trying, and a very successful male ad- vance representative is oftentimes hard to find. Addedhto the fact of the work requiring considerable labor, it is usually very unpleasant in so far as the detail make are concerned. But Miss Walker has met with unusual success. and says she cannot complain.
 In speaking of her experiences last night she said:
 "Of course, it seems hard for woman to hack about from one city to another with hardly ever more than a stop of a few hours, and especially when not &C., companied by crowd as in company; but find it collaborating. It has many pleasures to count against It's disadvan- tages. About the greatest objection I find to the business is this one fact of continually moving. and moving alone.
 AS for the work, I must say do not mind it. It is not so bad as one might think Of course. I have had many funny experiences in my career in advance of the show. Men have so long done the work that 1t Is sometim es hard to make managers realize that I am for business and for business along the lines every advance representative should be. have had some men to even want to refuse to grant my requests on account of my sex. Very few, true. but some are hard to convince of my earnestness. On the oth- CT hand some grant me more courtesies than might be granted males. Usually, however. managers have a slight feeling that I can be imposed upon.
 My experiences with the newspaper representatives are som metimes amusing also. Women have so long called at news offices to get space for charities. social affairs, bazaars and other such work that office boys and city editors nearly always try to steer me from the proper desk to that of the society editor But when I make them let me see the dramatic writer, unless that individual is a hard cynic, I usually get what advance stuff I want printed"

Problems of tho Day,

The National Household Economic
convention at Toronto, Ont, the other
day was addressed by Mrs. Hoodless,
OF Hamilton, Ont. who SAID that the
Ontario government was the first in
the world, so far as she has been able
TO learn, TO have a normal school for
domestic science teaching
At the afternoon session the all
absorbing Servant girl problem"
came up for debate. In comment on
the suggestion that, as there are 100
typewriter girls seeking places to one
cook, commercial education for girls
be dropped out OF the public school
curriculum and cooking put in its
place, Mrs Helen Campbell made
speech saying the age was one OF
progress, and the domestic, after long
years, was coming to her own. Those
engaged In this work were going to
rise In the social plane, she said, pos
Hbly by the general adoption OF the
New Zealand system of domestic la
Dor bureaus, graduated wages, and

perpetrated on Cinnamon by white men
and Mexicans near Riverside, CAL, A
gang OF Cinnamon were captured and

several Mexican girls had been dis

that the Chinese had been hired In

Of putting into practise, was that the

the relative merits Of rapid-fre guns

tests were witnessed by the board.
comprising Gen. Miles. Gen. Bufing-
ton, chief ordnance officer; Gen. Rog-

board
The tests were the outcome of a
discussion that had been started by
Gen. Miles regarding the use Of the
Burlington disappearing carriage, Gen.
Miles contention being that a gun
mounttv on this carriage cannot fire
with sufficient rapidity. Gen. Miles,
upon the boards return, refused to
discuss the result in detail, but said
that ten shots each were fired, from
the fve-iuch gun and the six-inch gun
on the disappearing carriage When
asked II report would soon be pre-
pared, Gen. Miles replied:

may be no decision for a year or two"
