at liberty to introduce dishes that are ia

to do so, to prepare them in the kitchen in
their own way. This plan insures a good

by women whose specialties they are. One

h~ousekeeper as counsel, act as purchasing

"All the members Of the association are
friends of long standing. They comprise
the county superintendent OF public instruc-
tion and his family; his brother, a minister,
and his family; the deputy recorder and
wife. a retired farmer and wife and a com
mcrcial traveller and family. All own their
own homes and are people Of moderate
means who have been accustomed to keep
one servant. All agree that the scheme
has reduced their household expenditures,
to say nothing Of the gain in health and
patience to the wives and mothers Of the
community. To them the servant problem is
solved and the question dropped.
THE social feature is a strong point in
favor of the association. One learns to
look forward to the 6 O'Clock dinner with
pleasurable anticipation. The plan has
worked wonders in bringing into the fresh
winter air three times a day women who
have formerly housed themselves carefully

Skaters Surprising Dispatch.
On July 10. Just after the land battle
around Santiago, General Shafter, in a dis
patch to the adjutant general regarding the
surrender, reported that the Spanish COM
mander desired that his troops be allowed
to retain their arms. The following answer
was written by Secretary Alger. under d.
rection Of the president:
EXECUTIVE MANSION, WASHINGTON
Major General shafter: Your dispatch is a
surprise to the president and me. What
you went to Santiago for was the Spanish
army. II you allow it to evacuate with
Its arms you must meet 1t somewhere else.
This is not war. II the Spanish commander
desires to leave the city and its people, let
him surrender, and we will then discuss
the question as to what shall be done with
them"
The order below Is in the handwriting
Of Mr.. Mckinley, and was sent to General
Miles as soon as he landed in Porto Rico;
How many troops will you require for
the campaign In Porto Rico? After being
on the ground do you revise your original
figure OF 4O.OO09'
II will be remembered that when our
soldiers were eneamped at Chickamauga
and other places their friends and relatives
sent them all kinds OF delicacies, such, in
many instances. being very detrimental to
the health Of the men. To show the presi-
dents personal Supervision over such small
details, below is given a copy OF an item
prepared by the adjutant general for pub
location in the daily press. which It was
thought would stop the practice:
The sending Of delicacies to the army
by generous people will not longer be en-
couraged by the War department, as It has
been found that such deiicaeies for troops
In the field are Injurious rather than help
full. The secretary OF war suggests that
donations OF this character be sent to the
hospitals only, and that the surgeon Of the
army be consulted as TO where they will
be most needed"
This the president amended to read:
The sending OF delieacies to the army

ciated by the authorities will not be
longer encouraged by the authorities" etc

unity to the procession as It passed. Not
only we're the familiar faces with which I
had become acquainted during my college
days numerous, but also a generous rep
resentation from the west OF people well
known in this section.
In the procession we're two chancellors
Of the University OF Nebraska-Dr. James
II. Garfield. wit now presides over the
destinies Of the university library at Co.
lumbia, always with fond recollections OF
his career in our state, and Chancellor
Andrews, who is now guiding Nebraska's
institution Of higher learning. Another
striking figure was that of General Brooke,
resplendent in military uniform. who later
asked after a number Of friends. dating
from his location in Omaha as commanding
general of the Department Of the Platte.
Still another familiar countenance was
that Of James NJ. Woolworth, who passed
along with the other gowned dignitaries
In his capacity as chancellor Of the Epis-
copalian diocese Of Nebraska.
Around about in the audience we're sew
eral people well known to Nebraskans.
Just behind me sat Professor Frank A.
Fitzpatrick, formerly superintendent Of the
Omaha public schools, but now connected
with a book concern of Boston. who had
been associated with President Butler In
his work in the National Educational asso-
citation. Near him was w. e. Amin, who
shines in Omaha on occasions, though now
located at Denver in a responsible posi-
tion in the postal service. He Is a cousin
Of President Butler and had come on to
participate in the installation ceremonies.
On one side was DR.. Albert Shaw, the bril-
liant editor Of the Review of Reviews, who
greeted me and recalled his visit to Omaha
during the great Transmississippi expo
sitlon. Close by was Horace White, the
veteran editor of the New York Evening
Post and one of the few remaining repre-
sentatives of the old pioneer school of
journalism. Not far on the other side was
Carl Schurz, still active and vigorous in
spite OF accommodating years. A few rows
in front of me sat Andrew Carnegie, the
great steel master. who is planting public

of gratitude. 1t is needless to say that

The handsome buildings In which the

could the occasion have been favored with

last the program was carried out with no
perceptIble hitch. In the room given over
to the reception OF the invited guests, coll

welcomed by President Butler and a verita-

educational associates hailing from all Sec

before him to shake hands with him.
A noticeable feature Of the celebration
was the part assigned to the women. II
any one harbored doubts that co-educa-
tion was part and parcel Of the modern
university they would soon have been dis
PEELED. In addition to the platoon OF Bar
nard girls In the undergraduate division
and their chaperones OF instructors,
nearly every large woman's college was
represented by its president and principal
professors, equally. distinguished with the
men with their gaily colored caps and
hoods that pass in collegiate circles as
the only recognized rewards OF merit.
Not that the women p~redominated in num-
bers, nor that they occupied a place on
the speaking program, but their partic-
ipation on equal terms was the significant
point. l have witnessed several college
formalities at various institutions, but in
none were the women so prom
inent as here. 1 believe 1t would have
been an inspiration to all women sincerely
interested in achieving equality Of the
sexes to have viewed this striking object
lesson, teaching that in the field OF
higher intellectual endeavor the real
work OF men and women in the cause Of
science, literature and art receives equal
recognition whenever on the same level.
1t Is unnecessary to go into the speeches
that we're delivered at the installation ex-
ercises nor the after dinner talks at the
alumnae banquet that followed. They we're
all in the happiest vein, particularly those
Of President Roosevelt, Mayor Low and
President Butler, and all opened up a
vista of glorious promise for the useful
ness Of Columbia under the guidance Of
its new executive. Special stress was
laid on the fact that the great universities
OF the country are no longer rivals, but
helpmeets-e truth reinforced by the
character of the installation exercises, par
ticlpated in as they were by official mes
sengers Of good will from nearly every
educational institution of Importance.
Entering upon his new work under such
suspicious circumstances and equipped for
his duties as few college presidents have
ever been. President Butler is sure to
keep the standard OF Columbia In the very
front rank Of the onward movement OF
American education.

Cooperative housekeeping

The cooperative housekeeping expert
ment started In Sioux City. Ia. some
months ago is attracting considerable at
%tention, and rightly 30, as It foreshadows
a possible solution Of the servant girl prob
lem, which has become a perplexing one to
housekeepers. The experiment is such a
pronounced success that a second league Of

not less than fifteen or more than twenty
persons, and no new mi is admitted
without the unanimous consent OF the ASSOC

The work of extending the street
lines and compiling the map of the
new city extension, the contract for
which was awarded Mr. z. J. Thomas,

of Council. will begin in few days. The
delay is occa stoned by the non-arrival
of a new transit required in estab-
fishing the base lines of the work.
1t is Mir. Thomas intention 10 start
at the intersection of Florence and
Forty-second streets, using Florence
street extended and Forty second
street as the base lines of the work
west of Bull street; the remainder Of
the city included in the new city eX-

as practicable with these lines, so that
the plan as a Whole viii insure for the
new parts of Savannah a uniformity
