FIRST WOMAN APPOINT
 ED BY ROOSEVELT.

Miss Estelle Reel, who was recently appointed National Superintendent of lrl- dian Schools. is said to be the first wo- man to receive an appointment from President Roosevelt. While others have been given the position of postmistress, Miss Reel is the first to hold a political office gained through her own political efforts.
 The President seems to recognize wo- men as well as men when it comes to
 merit and previous work for the admin istration. Wyoming is one of the few States where women are factors at the polls, and Miss Reel has gained the dis ffnction of appointment to the highest political office ever held by an American woman solely by her individual efforts in politics. American women in general will be glad to know that Miss Reel is handsome and well gowned feminine uualfties which distinguish her from the usual idea of woman office holder.

1.-THE FAST MAIL.o

Lincoln J. Carter's production of "The Fast Mail'' will be the attraction at Polls on Monday and Tuesday even ings, with a special matinee on Tues day. This play, 1t is needless to tell local theater-goers, has been one of the greatest successes known to the stage for years. It tells a story Of thrilling interest, and the scenic and other mechanical effects are said to be marvellous There is a representation Of an engine room on a Mississippi steamboat, with the furnaces under the boiler in active operation. A very real 1stic train of cars shoots across the stage, and the Niagara Falls scene is one of the most elaborate and daring things ever undertaken in the drama. u is described as a beautiful, vivid ana accurate representation of that stu. pendous marvel of nature The falls are shown by moonlight, with the roar- ing, plunging waters. and the mist that rises from the seething current. One or the most prominent of the plays features is the complete freight train or fourteen cars, with an illuminated caboose. drawn by practical Iocome- i've. The play itself has thrilling situ- ations in abundance, plenty of humor To tighten it's tone and give it an agree able flavor throughout Prices are popular, and the sale of seats opens Tomorrow.

CHILL AND ARGENTINA.
South American Republics Now on the Verge of Declaring War Are
 Pretty Evenly Matched.

The war cloud which now hovers over the two South American republics, Chili and Argentina, has arisen out of the dispute over the boundary line be- tween these countries, in the range of mountains running north and south. Should war eventuate the two repub- lies will find themselves very evenly matched. Neither has the advantage of the other in the matter of coast ex- posture and coast defense. Argentina, of course, is a much larger country in area and has a population approxi- mately of 100000, while Chili has a population of about 3 ,00o, 900. The area of Chii is 29o, ,829 square miles, while that of Argentina, including its ter ritories, is 1,113,s49 square miles. The army of Argentina, on peace foot ing, numbers 21,5 ,515 officers and men;
 that of Chili 19,750 officers and men. The Argentine navy consists of four coast defense armor-clads, five armored cruisers, three second-class cruisers of high speed, and seven smaller cruisers of modern construction, together with four destroyers and 22 torpedo boats.

 pendent of each other, and of exclusive jurisdiction in their respective spheres, but steadily and persistently the ju- dietary has proceeded in its usurpa- tion of the functions of the other de- partments, so that to-day court made law is the rule, and statute law is the exception. +
 '.The couts of this country, and more particularly the federal courts, have assumed all the powers of the govern ment; have declared unlawful many things never before suspected of be- ing illegal; within the past year blanket in.iunctions have been issued prevent ing anybody and everybody to whom notice should in any way come from contributing money or food to persons who were the victims of manufac- turers' lockouts-thisi in New York and Kentncky-but it remained for fed- eral court, the United States circuit court, Northern district of Illinois, to enioin the members of labor union from mentioning to each other or to anybody the fact that concern in Cin- cinnati was nonunion. These courts make the laws, construe the laws, and through their marshals enforce them.
 Any person charged witha viola ton of any of tRese special court-made laws, promulgated as an injunction, is brought before the judge that issued it, before the person whose dignity is claimed to have been insulted; no. jury is called; no change of venue provided for; there is no limit to the punish ment. This judge made the law, he, himself, is judge of what constitutes a violation of it; prejudiced as he must be against person whom he has al- ready declared lawbreaker. he still sits in judgment upon this claimed of fense against his own law and his own dignity.
 .Under the present system no work man can ever learn what rights, if any, he has. These rights, if any exist, de- pend entirely upon the individual point of view of the judge who happens to preside over the court before whom the workman is brought. The punish ment for every criminal offense is pre- scribed and limited by statute. Yet a federal judge may by injunction for bid the same offense, and then the per- son charged therewith is brought into the federal court for punishment-his constitutional right is gone and the limit of his punishment is removed"

THOMAS B. MINAHAN.
New Presidont of the Federated R0- man Catholic Societies of the
 United States.

/, Thomas B. Minahan, of Columbus, o. who has just been elected president of the American Federation of Catholic Societies at the Cincinnati convention, has won national reputation as worker in the field of organized lay effort in the Roman Catholic church. MT. AEinahan is philanthropist who
 believes that the best results in so, cia1 progress can be brought about by
 using the strength fouI9l associated in the churches in such manner as to eff feet practical social reform. He is es- pecially interested in the temperance movement, and Last summer originated the unique plan of pledging men not to abstain from drink, but to abstain

from treating" or buying stimulants for others. This idea has taken deep root, and although not officially in- dorsed by the various Catholic soci- cities, is still said to have become very popular since he first made the sug- gestion.
 It is believed by members of the ex- ecutiye board that the federation will have over 100000 members in it's afhliating organizations before the national convention is held in Chicago next July.
 Choosing of Chicago as the next con vention place is for the purpose of get ting the Catholic societies of Illinois and the different states of the west and northwest into the federation. Heretofore, in spite of the active part taken in the plan by several western prelates and the delegates sent to the convention at Cincinnati from the diff fereut cities of the west and north west, the movement which is to bind the Catholic societies into a national body has not received the full support 1t has in the east

fled with certain transactions of the treasurer in matters outside of his of fee and which were made the basis of suit against him.
 It is known that some time since cer- tain New York people called at the treasury department and complained to Secretary Gage regarding Mr. Roberts conduct in this matter. The New Workers were informed that the president was the proper person to whom complaints should be made, and it is supposed the matter was taken to the white house. 1t was reported, also, that Mr. Roberts had met the charges against him, but this is also de- nied in other quarters.
 MT. Roberts was made treasurer of the United States July l, 1897, and has been in office for about four and half years. He has made an excellent off, cial, his thorough knowledge of bank ing matters and his former experience as assistant treasurer of New York be- ing exceedingly useful to him in his work here. There has been no sugges- tion whatever of irregularity connect ed with him in his official position.
 Treasurer Roberts was born in Utica in 1927 and was educated in Yale in the class of 1850. He was first an editor in his native city, later becoming propri- etor of the Utica Morning Journal. In 1870 he went to congress and served two terms. President Harrison in 1899 made him assistant treasurer of the United States at New York. In 1893 he became president of the Franklin na- tional bank in New York. He has writ ten and lectured much on financial sub- jects, including the tariff. A suit brought against him in 1899, as a result of which he was ordered to pay his sis ter over $21, ,OoO on judgment rem dered, brought his name into promi- nence and discussion.
