Home is woman,s Goal.

Prof. d. j. KiehIe of the University
of Minnesota delivered d scholarly
address before the meeting of the de
Partment of superintendents of the
National Educational association at
Chicago Tuesday. Training along
industrial lines is not the goal for
women said Prof. Kiehle. Until
wealth brings its treasures from the
shop and bank to the home in forms
of use for the comfort of the family.
until art learns to beautify the dwell
ing place of the family as well as the
cathedral and the capitol and until
science devotes itself to the health
full rearing of children and the hy-
giene of the home all these forces of
our modern civilization of which we
are so proud fall short of their high
est service.
This final and noblest application
of wealth and learning must be effect
ed in the education of women. With
equal rights to do what they may do
in common with men. they must be
permitted to continue their education
in preparation for the higher duties
of the home. which they alone are
able to make and adorn. There is as
much intelligence aRc good judgment
required i'm applying science to the
care of the home and children as to
the care of stock on the farm, and il
cumports as well with the dignity of
chemistry to apply it to the making
Of bread for the maintenance of
health as to the mixing of drugs for
It's restoration when lost through
Ignorance of the laws of health We
are already under the influence of
commercial spirit
which is intrUding upon the quiet
comforts of home life and diyerting

WEALTH COULDN'T SAVE HIM.
j. ID. Robinson of Pfttsburg Died at
Park View sanftarium.


]. D. Robinson, about So years old,
said TO be very wealthy, and resi-
dent of Pittsburg. Pa. died at the Park
View Sanitarium yesterday afternoon.
DR.. st. J. B. Graham. his attending
physician, has not yet furnished a
death certificate, but will do so to-day.
DR.. Graham declined last night to
state the cause of his patients death.
1t was due, however, to natural causes.
The physician is awaiting the arrival
of the dead mans nephew, who has
been telegraphed for, before issuing
a certificate of death.
Mr. Robinson had been a patient at
the hospital and had received every at
tention. and all that medical skill could
DO for him was done. He came to Sa-
vsnnah Feb. q and registered at the
De Soto, as has been his custom for
several years. He was known at the
hotel as a wealthy man. Last We'd
nesday while absent he was taken i'll
and a physician was summoned.
Saturday he was taken to the saHi-
tarium.
While Mr.. Robinson was quite well
known through his annual visits here,
nothing is known. so far as could be
learned, of his family connections. Who
his nephew is DR.. Graham would not
say. but he is expected to arrive to-day
from the North.

A Horseman's view of 1t.

Editor Morning News: 1 read Views
of Automobiles, as given in the
Morning News. This. of course, is one
side of the question and represents
only the views of very few, in COM
Darison with the number of horsemen.
OF course. we will acknowledge that a
very small percentage of drivers are
ignorant of the best methods that
should be employed to convince a horse
that autos are harmless. However,
this percentage is very small consid-
ering that of automobilists that have
shown their ignorance and, 1 should
say, in some cases, malice, when pass
ing frightened horses at full speed and
ringing their gongs or blowing those
unearthly sounding horns. They call
us, horsemen, ignorant in the matter
of handling our horses, but they can
not see the mountain, in the shape of
pure lack of judgment shown by them
They haye the speed and the weight,
and therefore the advantage in a meet
ing. They know it, and take advan-
tage of it. and little do they care what
happens. They will not slack their
speed; they ring louder, go faster, and
then look back to see how we are get
ting along. Yours, in hope of needed
legislation. A. Jasme

FOUND IN a CLAM.
Unique Coin which Is Puzzle to
Nunismatists.

From The New Haven Leader.
There is in the possession of John
w. Woodward a remarkable coin
which has been examined by several
local coin collectors and others in
New York city, and which none have
been able to find any trace Of the ORR
gin of nor have any who have seen it
even seen a duplicate of it. The coin
came into the possession of Mr.. Wood
ward in very peculiar manner.
A friend OF his who was summering
in West Haven caught. one morning,
off the Hills homestead, an immense
long clam. about five inches in length.
The clam was given to Mr. Woodward,
who opened it. Inside he found inn
bedded in the muscle a hard substance
thick crust about it, This he Clipped
off and it revealed coin. Polishing
revealed the identity of it so far as
the identity could be revealed by the
coin itself and it proved to have on
the face the head of the late Queen
Victoria Round the edge were the
words Victoria Regina" and at the
bottom the date '1S53.' The reverse
showed a woman seated in a chair be-
fore table and about the edge are
the words Keep your temper" The
figure in the chair bears a striking re-
semblance to the likeness of the Queen
on the opposite side. The piece is
slightly smaller than a Canadian quar-
ter and seems to be made of bronze.

Judge Speer added that what he
should do in this regard would de-
pend largely upon whether il was de-
termined to consolidate the two in
dictments or try them separately, in
timating that he would favor a
carved-out issue, based on the pleas
of the statute of limitations, very
much more in the former event than
in the latter. Mr.. duBignon stated
that counsel also desired to be heard

Evidently Judge Speer desired to
guard against this method of deliver
ance on the part of the two defend
ants now in Savannah for he instruct
ed them before court adjourned that
they must report to the mar shall twice

of this character on Marshal Barnes

THE LETTER CARRIERS JOB.
some Reasons why IL Is Not a Par
fIcuInrIy Easy One.


Editor Morning News: Please al
low me space to state a few facts
about the position of letter carrier,
which is considered an easy one by
a gentleman who has had some deal
ings with the carriers in Savannah.
No mans duty is more exacting. No
one is expected to be more proficient.
He must be on time always. as five
minutes late means the loss of the
days pay Should a carrier meet
with an accident while on his route,
by which he Is disabled or should his
health fail from any cause his pay
ceases until he is able to report for
actual duty. The penalty for single
mistake, at times, has meant to him
the loss of one to two days pay. He
is compelled to face the intense heat
of the summers sun as well as the
cold blasts of winter. Storms must
not interfere with his work. His duty
calls him at all hours.
In the storm of 1897 the carriers
were compelled to make collections at
night, with the city in total darkness
and all electric wires down. Do you
call this an easy position? The
cares and responsibilities of a car
iifi Increase as the years duNdHce.
Interests of great Importance are in
trusted to his care.
A carrier with forty-eight pounds
of mail matter on his back, by actual
count, climbed 1860 steps in one day,
counting them only six inches each
makes $50 feet skyward, in addition
to what walking he actually did on
the level. His mail does not decrease
as he delivers. for he collects at the
same time, and often finishes with the
same amount of mail matter with
which he started.
Taking these few facts, into con-
sideration. should they be blamed for
asking an increase in salary for their
easy position?
