ALPINE DISASTERS TOO FIRE.
OUENT,

Far beyond the boundary of Switz-
erland there are tears because of the
appalling death list of the Alps for the
season of 1902. No fewer than sixty
five persons have been dashed over
the ice to their death on these towering
mountains during the year, which sug-
gests that greater safeguards should
be thrown around the courageous or
the foolhardy who climb the Matter
horn. else statutes should be made pro-
viding that permission to scale the ice
covered slopes should be sparingly
given and that a sufficient number of
officers should be stationed at entry
points to prevent women and frail men
from attempting the extra hazardous
feat. Women especially should be de-
barred the privilege of attempting the
perilous climb.
There come times in almost every
human beings life when, drunk with
the spirit Of conquest, he yearns to
equal or excel the work of his fellows.
Travellers in Switzerland are almost
daily RECALLED with the stories of the
bravery Of those who have preceded
them, and what is more natural than
that those of an impulsive, intrepid
disposition should seek to climb as
high as the man or woman who had
assembled Mont Blanc yesterday or last
week? Nothing will ever reach such
people so effectively as the repressive
hand Of the constabulary. This would
divert the money now going into the
hands of the proprietors of various
mountain hotels of Switzerland, which
is to some extent to be deplored, but
it is more important that human lives
should be saved than that Swiss bon
faces should thrive.

YOUNG WOMEN ANGRY OVER
SEGREGATION.

President Harper's persistent efforts
to secure segregation Of the sexes at
the University of Chicago has excited
indignation among young women all
over the country. And the latest state-
ment which has gone out from the in
stitution of learning that there are
some causes for this proposed segrega-
ton of women that ladies and gentle
men cannot discuss" has only served to
intensity that feeling. The situation
has become so acute that letters of
protest are going in large numbers to
DR.. Harper's Office from students,
alumnae and friends Of the institution.
They feel that this is really the first
step toward the overthrow of co-edu-
cation, as they assert that as soon as
segregation actually goes into effect
young women will begin to go where
they at least appear to be more well
come.
It is a fact that needs no discussion
that great many of the young men at
the colleges prefer that there should
ne no girl students. InlS is part1cu-
larly true of those schools where much
attention is given to football, rowing
and other athletics. Referring to
the Northwestern university the other
day student of one of it's classes

Captains Of the athletic teams, seeking
material wore disgruntled looks as they

incoming male students sparsely scat

| viewed the situation with satisfaction.
While fraternity men, searching for
prospective freshmen members, frowned

But why all of this talk about the
girls? The young women have some
rights in the premises. If there must
be segregation, why not try 1t first on
the young men? Referring to the par

STANDING FOR ALGER.

The action of the Republican state
convention at Grand Rapids virtually
restores to his old-time prominence in
national politics the chief hero Of the
embalmed beef incidents during the
Spanish war. Russell A. Alger was
forced out Of the position Of secretary
Of war by an insistently hostile public
sentiment. There was the most posi-
tive desire on the part of the leaders of
the Mckinley administration that he
should retain his position as a member
of the cabinet, and every device posi-
BILE was adopted to that end. Gen.
Egan was made a scapegoat of the
transaction and the ruin Of Gen. Miles
was determined on, all with a view to
weathering the fierce storm of public
disapprobation which beat on the adj
ministration as the result of the plain
conspiracy existing between the man
ayers of the meat trust and the politi-
clans Of the administration to rob the
treasury, even if by doing so the
health Of the army in the field should
be sacrificed.

THE LIVES / HAVE LIVED.

There are times when I'm only the grass
To be trampfed under the foot,
To be tossed by the breezes that pass,
A floor of the hurrying mass, }of
A shield for the. wandering root
And the murderous swish of the scythe,
In the flash of a passing breath.
AS vague as the mistS that arise,
AS the song Of the swan when he dies,
And feeling-I know it is death
There are times when I'm only beast,
With merciless, spring and claw,
My dreams are of blood and feast,
My Waking-the dreams but increased,
And I live by the ravenous jaw.
And the smell that smell in the morn
Is tainted and sick with the breath
OF the hunter that rides to the horn,
Of the hound that bays in the corn,
And hearing know it is death.
There are times when the burdens I bear
AS laboring beast Of the field,
Calling the yoke that I wear,
For the stall and the manager care,
So stupidity labor and yield.
But soon / am helpless and old,
Uncertain my strength and my breath,
Then I am beaten and sold
No bell in the steeple is tolled,
And yeti know it is death.
And once, as primitive man,
I lived in the depths Of cave.
I heard the wild music Of Pan,
Slow, slowly the centuries ran,
And deep and eternal the grave.
And, worshiping the sun and the fire,
We wandered and lived in their breath,
With scarcely a will or desire,
Yet the story to son from the sire,
Was ever the darkness of death.
But now-no longer we fear
The specter that calls to the clay.
He has changed to a friend that is dear,
And oft he is called to appear.
And our burdens are laid by the way.
It Is breaking the chrysalis seal.
That clings and lasts with our breath,
Each change doth purpose reveal,
A sweeter and purer ideal,
And this is the mission of death.

veterans residing in and about Manas-

for special entertainment and recep-

They will wear the same badge as
members of the reception committee in

train between the 9Th and 18th of Oc-
tober. Opposite the Manassas station
they have engaged a building for re-
ception headquarters where it is hoped
that as many participants as possible
in either of the two battles Of Bull
Run will register. Arrangements have
been made with the railroads for ex-
cursion rates to Manassas and with the
local livery stable people for trans

A HINT TO ST. LOUIS.

st. Louis could make a hit with the
rest of the universe by exhibiting Sc
lection Of it's boodlers and freaks at
the great exposition which it Is to
hold in 1904. st. Louis has, Mime
apolis not excepted, the prize gang of
bride takers. Now the Missouri town
waltzes to the front of the stage with
a judge whose eccentricities are get
ting him talked about from Duluth to
Spindle Top. His name is Sidener and
he starts a new train of thought in the
minds Of his townsmen every other
day. Sidener must like notoriety. Any
how, he is getting it. A short time ago
he subpoenaed mule into court He
followed this by allowing a prisoner
of musical talent to sing in court thus
paying his fine for disorderly conduct.
He next sentenced a man to a horse
whipping, the lash being administered
by the mans wife under the SUPER
vision and direction of the judge. He
later attempted to secure a woman
jury and woman lawyer to try cases
of human interest in his court.
Sidener's decisions are constantly
exciting the risibilities of those who
read them and the excavations of those
who have them visited upon their
heads. One of these is that a woman
has the right to kiss man at any time
or place. Another DEGREES that a dog
has legal right to bite any one who
leases or maltreats him. A third finds
that any wife has the right to search
her husbands pockets if he fails to
provide her with a reasonable supply
of cash. A fourth lays down law and
justice to the effect that If a husband
swears at his wife she Is privileged to
beat him, but the queerest Of the die
tumS which he has promulgated is that
in which he says any man has a right
to kick his mother in-law from his
premises if she interferes with his
family affairs.
st. Louis does not seem to have
questioned the sanity of Sidener, but
perhaps 1t ought to. The supreme
court of the state will at least not have
many dull hours while he is sending
his strange DEGREES up to it. If many
OF his decisions were permitted to
stand, our law books would soor be-

CAREFULLY STUDIED CHART,
THEN STRUCK TREASURE
Two Young Men Dig Up $4,000 in
Cash and Take Next Train.

TOLEDO, Ohio, Sept 27. = The
neighboring village Of Alexis has g.
matter that is puzzling the authorities.
TWO young men, giving their names as
George L. Miller, of Philadelphia, and
henry Anderson, of New York, after
consulting chart, dug up package
covered with oilcloth in which was
more than $11, 900 in currency and bills.
The money Is supposed to be part Of
the spoils Of several recent county
bank and postoffice robberies.
On Saturday the two young men in
question stopped off in Alexis and
made inquiries about the time of trains
leaving and arriving, and finally Sc
cured some implements for digging,
and were soon on their way to the
woods, where the money was unearth-
ed. A couple Of farmer lads followed
them and were peremptorily ordered
back. This whetted their curiosity, and
they told two or three men in the COM
munity, and small party followed at
distance and kept watch on the
young men.
A local constable appeared on the
scene and made the men show what
they had found Before any action
could be taken they boarded an east5s
bound train with their treasure and
were gone.

Gen. Ayers ambition to become the
