Miss Susan 3. Anthony's remark that
women will quit getting married as
they become more intelligent, looks like
an Indirect drive at that comparatively
insignificant but withal useful creature,
man. The plain inference is that as
woman's intellectual powers are devel-
oped she will be able to judge the Diped
in trousers more accurately, very much
to his disadvantage, and will naturally
want to have less to do with him.
Doubtless Miss Anthony Is willing to
be pointed out as living evidence of the
truth of her statement; and there could
not be Il more shining example. sun,
Miss Anthony is only one woman of a
vast multitude-and the world does not
know at this blessed moment whether
she has remained unmarried because
of superior wisdom or because the right
man did not ask her But let that pass.
Conceding that the venerable sutfragist
is good evidence in support of her own
theory, there are reasons for believing
that she is the rare exception and not
the general rule. Any of us can easily
recall scores of bright women acQuaint-
ances who did not hesitate to wed when
suitable opportunities presented and
have never seemed to regret it. In some
instances the experiment was so salts
factory that they repeated the perform
ance one or more times. And we can
remember also some who were quite
dull and yet remained spinsterS. Even
among Miss Anthony's associates and
co-laborcrs in the great and snail-paced
cause of woman'S emancipation there
are not n few who write Mrs before
their distinguished names. Really, we
cannot see that the intelligent women
show a bit more dislike for matrimony
than the supplemented ones. With all
proper regard for Miss Susan and her
ideas, 1t will be sad day for woman
kind when her theory becomes gener-
ally accepted. Female colleges and
seminaries will go into pallid decline,
and even our high schools will com
plain of a growing scarcity of girl pu-
pills. For nineteen out of every twenty
young women will let Miss Anthony
take her intelligence and they will take
husbands-if things come their way as
planned by maiden fancies. y pro

he followed Oliver Z. Morton out OF the

proved another illustration of Saxon

debater Grosvenor is let him consult

BATTERIES OF THE WARSHlP.
Pennsylvania and Colorado Are to BE
Packed with Guns.

IaCkcd with
The descriptions of the two armored
cruisers, the Pennsylvania and Colo
RADIO, now building at the Cramps
yards, bring out the fact that they will
be packed with guns. Each vessel will
carry siXty-siX pieces of ordnance,
ranging in caliber from the S-inch-
breech-loading, high-powered rifle to
the 1-pounder. Each vessel will mount
four S-inch and fourteen 6-inch guns,
which will constitute the main batter
les. The auxiliary armament is made
up of eighteen 3-inch, twelve 3-pound-
ers, eight 1-pounders, two 3-pounder
field guns, two machine guns and six
automatic pieces.
Such an armament reveals a tenden-
cy to return to the old method of Civ
ing a ship as many guns as she could
carry and serve effectively. In the old
days of the sailing navy some Of the
line of battle ships, notably the Penn
sylvania, carried as many as 100 guns.
Very few Of these pieces were of
heavier caliber than the 30 or AZ pound
CTS. L C ~pOuANCL was LhCII ICEdlN-
ed as very heavy caliber, and the
larger shell gun was supplied but spar
ingly.
4 ship like the Pennsylvania of the
old days-she was burned at the Nor
folk navy yard in 1S61-required from
1000 to 1900 men to perform the du-
ties of seamen and artillerists. The
broadside weight of metal thrown from
ship of this class was very light as
compared with one of her successors of
to-day, and the amount of physical la
Dor required to produce this result was
enormous. The aggregate Of metal
thrown by twenty-five 42-pounders,
each Of which was served by a crew
of six or eight men, would not equal,
or more than equal, the weight of one
modern projectile of the highest type

Stories of brute toughness and Ho-
merle endurance are tenderly preserved
in the folk lore of the waterfront. How.
for another instance, Scipio Flanagan,
"the biggest nigger in the business, ="
supported the entire weight OF an i'm
mense packing case. weighing upwards
of eighteen hundred, on his PROSTATE
body. The negro held the hand truck to
receive the case, which. in the hands Of
half a dozen men, was being balanced
at just the right angle to slip into place.
But it hit the edge of the truck and
knocked it away, and the negro unluck-
lily lost his footing and fell flat with the
great box on top of him. He shrieked in
terror and groaned, it was said, like a
syren whistle; but when gang Of tif-
teen men lifted the thing bodily and
pulled him out. all he did was to screw
his fists into his eyes like big child,
stretch his long limbs grotesquely and
return to work. or course he talked
about this feat for many day.-Frank
