The Modern Fable Of the Rescue

Several Ladies OF the Dun and Brad

as Hickory-Nuts.

and the long train slowly gathered
Roadway up the slippery track.
As the speed increased the young man
and the old reIapsed into their usual
silence. The pa was always a free
steamer, but George put her through
her PAGES without any apology. and it
took lots Of coal TO square the account.
In a few minutes they were pound

track there follows the high bench be-
tween the bluffs. which sheer up on
one side, and the river bed, thirty feet
below the grade. on the other.
II is not an inviting stretch at any
time with big string Of gondolas be-

and Just there and then Georges rod
went very wrong indeed.
Halfway between Centers the big
steel bar on his side, dipping then so
fast You couldn't have seen it even in
daylight, snapped ike stick Of lie

cab like the nose OF a sword fish, tear

and fury.
George McNeaTs seat burst IN

against the cab roof like a link pin
and fell SPRAYING. while the mon

through the cab with every lightning

II was a frightful moment. Anything
thought or done must be thought and
done at once. II was either to stop
that train-and quickly-Or To pound
along until the PA jumped the track
and lit in the river. with thirty ears
of coal to cover it.
Instantly-so Dad Hamilton after

scrambIing 10 his feet, reached for his

and they set about disconnecting-the

II was a slow, difficult piece OF work

much help as willing hands could,
which wasn't much; but BY every man
doing something they got things fixed.

HOTEL FOR WOMEN ONLY.
San Francisco Has One Recently Erected by the GirIs' Union
 of That City.


 Under the auspices of the San Fran cisco Girls union hotel exclusively for women has been erected and the members of the orga nizatlon are con- graduating themselves upon their new possession. The union has been in existence since 1884 and was formed for the purpose of aiding self-dependent, self-respecting girls to live in nice surroundings at a cost in accordance with their means. The society has had a house for some time, but it is not to be compared with the new hotel. The home is self supporting and an average of 40 wage-earning women call it home. In the hotel 80 rooms are to be rent ed, the price per month ranging from four dollars to six dollars. The board is SIP per month. The rooms are we'll furnished and commodious and each has stationary washstand The house is exceedingly well planned and provision has been made for class rooms, as the union proposes to con- duct classes in literature, music, sew ing, typewriting and other subjects.

PROGRESS MADE BY WOMEN

Ill 1898 the women or Ireland oD- tained every form of suffrage, except that for members of parliament, ana were made eligible for the county and borough councils and for poor
 guardians, responsible office. The first year S7 women We're elected guardians and a number to the coun- cils, several being made chairmen. They have voted in large numbers, and the testimony as to the excellent effect of their vote in local politics is unlm- peachable. The Irish Women's Suffrage and Local Government association has just held a meeting i'll the Mansion House at Dublin, to consider action at the approaching election.
 They were welcomed by the lord mayor, who spoke of the great i'm proyement which had taken place in the management of the charitable 1n- stitutions in the short time since Wo- men had voice in it. He expressed 1 the belief that their presence in par l lament might be desirable, and l thought the body with which he was connected-the corporation-might be not little improved in a similar man ner, and he hoped that larger num- Der of women than ever before would be elected to the local boards.
 A great many eminent women were present, and it was resolved not to rest until women had been placed on every board that dealt with women and chil- dren, aNd women inspectors put into every such institution. They resolved also to work without ceasing for the I parliamentary franchise.
 About 100000 women are qualified to vote under the present law. The I Daily Independent and Nation, lead ing newspaper, gave hearty commen- dation of the action of the meeting, and said:
 No person who feels the least in- terest in the working of the local gov ernment act can have failed to perceive that since the admission of the right of women to fill representative positions great improvement has been affected in nearly every branch of adm1n1stra- tion. This statement is true, especial Ily with regard to the administration of the poor laws, for which women have natural aptitude, and in Whicf
 the sphere of congenial work is very , large. We do not eXaggerate wher
 we say that the duties of poor law
 guardians have never, as whole, Deel
 more efficiently discharged than the.
 have been during the recent years-i
 state of things due entirely to the rae
 that a considerable proportion of tn
 guardians are ladies. who are anlmat
 ed by desire at once to assume m
 hard lot of the poor and to perform
 mertiorious public service
 ]. "Every board Tn the country shoul ! have its quota of women guardians

 It was pitch dark, and at first he could see nothing. Finally he saw glaring al him from the limbs of tree close to the house pair of eyes.
