A PROFESSIONAL OPINION.

A former judge now practicng law became interested when told by his fla vorite barber that the latter wanted to study with a view to admission to the bar. The lawyer encouraged him in every way possible, lending him books and giving him an informal lesson while being shaved each morning
 Soon the barber began putting nypo- tactical cases to his patron, who grave ly, soundly and painstakingly gave in formation as to the correct procedure. After time the eX-judge learned that the barber's cases were genuine-that. indeed, the fellow was acting as a cut rate attorney for his friends. who in variably profited by following his ad- vice. The following morning the bar Der opened up by putting what he de- scribed as an imaginary bit of litiga-

TEMPER AND MARRIAGE
Man With Bad One Shouldn't Wed
 at All, Wu Wisely Says

M Wu, the Acute philosophical dips lCrnat, who has given this country the benefit, not only of his sympathetic views of international politics. but Of his keen wit and his genial insight into social problems. has again made the world his debtor.
 The Chinese minister has always said that he had the highest opinion Of American women, though he has not given proof of it like his chosen sue oessor by marrying one of them, chiefly and perhaps only because he was ai- ready married But he evidently un- derstands the woman universal, as well as he does her of the Mongolian or the Tartar type. No man." he says in effect should marry if he had a bad temper Note that he does not say that women with bad tempers should not marry. Here the innate gallantry of MT. Wu is gently manifest. And yet his Censure is double, though one edge is much more delicate than the other. "Is there any woman without tenper?" he asks with an arch smile. The inference is plain that the woman without some little degree of temper would not be worth having. Think of the delights now imparted by her peri odical contrition that would then be missing! WOman's temper, when it is truly vixenish. or so chronic that she deserves the epithet of shrew. makes her charm only the more varied and the more interesting.
 But the masculine temper is quite different matter. Brute man does not know how to make the best of it. if he would. It always makes him, when 1t breaks loose. a bull in the china shop It is very difficult for him to repair it's ravages. to erase it's sinister impress sion upon the creature whom he loves

best in the world. He should be the stronger; but alas. he is too often the weaker in self-control. That is why doubtless, Providence or destiny has given to the mother the rearing of the children. It is feminine self-govern- ment that gradually elevates the world.
 MT. Wu declared himself and all mar ried men slaves, but that was only a part of the pleasant irony for which he is noted He thrives in that kind of slavery, and so do many Caucasians But the man with a bad temper should cure it before he is selfish enough to impose himself for life upon any gentle elpmeet.-Philadelphi Times.

PAINTING THE RIVERS.

The state authorities are now quietly pushing an investigation which, when it is made public, will cause Q good deal Of talk throughout Massachusetts. The state board of health is at work through agents all over Massachusetts, looking into the matter of pollution of rivers and other water courses by stuff emptied into them by sewers, factories and other industrial establishments.
 Of course. the practice has grown up for what seemed at the time a very good roason-to save expense. The cit ies and towns thought that they had to empty their sewage into the nearest

that three were seriously hurt gross

markable that no serious injuries were In
f1icted.
At 5 o'clock this morning the captive
freshmen were led down to the city, Sc
curely chained. their faces blackened and
their clothing very much dilapidated. At
the head of the line was the freshman
president, Richard Patterson, of Lafayette,
attired I'm grotesque dress, enormous
straw hat on his head and In his hand a

the captors numerals. Sophomore guards
marched alongside the captives and the
latter were forced TO cheer for their cap

While this was in progress the reserve
force OF freshmen succeeded in carrying out
the deferred programme. but their victory
was short-lived. The sophomores, with re-
doubled effort, at 11:45 succeeded in scaling

OLD SCALE RENEWED.
Burns Glass Workers Secure n Wage
Advance of IL Per Cent.

PITTSBURG, Sept. N.-The Window
Glass Workers Association, l.. A. 800, X. Of
L., has secured an advance of Il per cent.
over the wages recently secured by the
rival organization, headed by John l.. Den
ny. While this advance of II per cent. sim
ply re-establishes the wage scale of the
close of last fire, it Is regarded by the wage
committee as one of the greatest settle
ments ever made, inasmuch as the rate it
re-establishes was granted voluntarily late
last fire by the American and Federation
window glass companies as a war measure,
directed against the opposition workmen of
the Independent Glass Company.
The manufacturers agreed some days ago
TO grant the advance, provided the associa-
ton could succeed in delaying the start of
the independent factories until Oct. is. This
the Burns faction failed to do, and the
combination officials wanted to give only a
1 and per cent. advance The wage COM
mittee would not accept the proposition
and presented the wage scale of last fire as
their ultimatum. After an hour or more Of
consultation the manufacturers granted the
demand.
The factories of the American and of the
Federation window glass companies WILL
therefore. start on Oct. Is to run thirty-two
weeks or longer. If the manufacturers re-
quest Ii, at the old scale. The independent
factories are scheduled to start on Oct. 4.

DEED OF A YOUNG WIDOW
SWALLOWED POISON RATHER THAN
RIDE IN A PATROL WAGON.
Woman Who Was Threatened with
Arrest Because She Lacked Money
to Pay an Angry Cabman.

CHICAGO. Sept. 27-Threatened with ar
rest and conveyance to the police station
In a patrol wagon because she could not
pay the cab hire that an angry cabman
was demanding of her while big crowd
looked on, a woman who afterward said
she was Mrs Irene Miller, widow, aged
thirty-one, of San Francisco, attempted to
commit suicide this evening at the WASH
ington-street entrance to the City Hall by
swallowing choral. She taken in an
unconscious state to the Samaritan Hospi-
tai, where after the doctors had worked
with her for several hours she was revived
and her identity, which she had refused to
divulge before she took the poison, was
learned.
The woman, who was handsomely dressed,
had started early in the afternoon from the
Morrison Hotel and had for some hours
been driven about the downtown district
in the cab. The cabman finally refused to
allow further use of his vehicle until he was
paid. When the woman opened her pocket
book she found she had no money. She Of
fered a check on a Cincinnati bank, which
the cabman refused to accept, telling her
that If he were not paid he would have her
arrested. He then drove her to the City
Hall and escorted her to the detectives Of
flee. There she was told she must either pay
the driver his fare or consider herself un-
der arrest. She absolutely refused to give
her name, and as she had no money the
officers were about to start with her to
the Harrison-street police station when she
quickly thrust her hand into the bosom OF
her dress, pulled out vial and, before she
could be stopped, drank the greater part
of its contents, falling unconscious into the
arms of a policeman. She was hurried to the
hospital, where, as stated, she was revived
after hard work. 1t is thought dependency

GERMANS LIKE TOWER
HIS APPOINTMENT AS AMBASSADOR
WELL RECEIVED.
Berlin a More Congenial Place for the
American than St. Petersburg Lee
cation Building Needed.

BERLIN, Sept. T-The officials of the
Foreign ONCE inform the correspondent of
the Associated Press that the appointment
of Charlemagnc Tower as ambassador to
Germany Is regarded with special satisfac-
ton, since excellent reputation pre-
cedes him. Very great regret is expressed at
the Foreign Office and In all circles over Mr..
Whites retirement. The anteroom of the
embassy was filled this morning with call
ers expressing regret at his departure. Mr..
White intended to accept Yales request to
represent it at the Bodleian Library GEN.
tennial early in October, but he cabled a
declination to-day, because of the pressure
of settling up business here Berlin will be
a welcome change for Mr.. Tower. who, it is
understood. is tired of the dreary splendor
of the st. Petersburg court, at whose
thousand persons sit down to supper and
only military men, civil officials and
diplomats appear. In Berlin artists, literary
men and university professors share the life
of the court and give the variety and inter-
est that are lacking at st. Petersburg and
Vienna. The American colony at ST. Peters
burg consists of forty persons. including
women and children, while several hundred
AMERICANS are permanent TeSiuentS In Ber-
lin.
When Mr.. White returns to the United
States he designs to bring to the attention
of the government the old question of its
owning houses for ambassadors and minis
tiers. Suitable legations cannot be obtained
offhand by a new conner and the rent is
usually quite as much as the ambassadors
salary. Bayard Taylor, who died here, was
ruined financially by the expenses neces-
sary to maintain his position as minister
General Noyes, formerly United States min
lister at Paris, left his family scarcely any
thing because of the strain of keeping up
appearances. Mr.. Whites view is that the
present salaries need not be increased if
the government provides permanent en-
rangements, of course, would not permit
of the splendid style of living maintained at
European capitals by ambassadors of the
first-class powers.
