Concerning the work Of women on
and the effect OF the work
ON women. Kate Masterson writes 10
the Era Magazine:
Not a few Of the women who have
GAINED notable success in the news
paper field within the last decade have
graduated into higher literature, such
as play writing and story writing, and
have thus achieved additional reputa-
ton. Others have sunk the undoubted
promise of their future into the more
pleasant paths OF domestic life.
The question of the suitability Cf the
journalistic field for women Is enc
which may be looked at from many
vantage points Where there are so
many who have made successes in this
line. who shall say that II IS not a de-
sirable one. The same rule applies to
this as to every other walk OF life re-
auiring good health and nerves. grit,
perseverance and steady, earnest in
dustry. It is generally acknowledged
that the work cf Journalism is a diff
cult one even for man. A woman,
oversensitive. and not OF good consti-
tuition. and above all without plenty OF
pluck, might better choose some other
arena for her battle with life than a
newspaper office.
There are. OF course. numerous de-
partments Of the work. such as book
reviewing. art criticism, fashion whit

served their womanliness, not only of

Picturesque Autumn Hate

Autumn millinery is certainly on the
picturesque order. but the shapes that
fashion has. advocated are not be
coming to everybody. so that there Is
now considerable modification Of the
original absolutely fiat hat to be seen.
Where the perfectly fiat hat with broad
brlm is becoming, II is immensely
SO, especially when made in
any soft material, for the brim takes
such pretty curves and tho outlines are
so graceful. but the short, stout woman
with broad face has every one of her
peculiarities exaggerated by this same
broad. fat hat, and consequently some
modification is absolutely necessary.
There must be some height given, and
this can be obtained by stff wings
bows and pompons Of the same color
or OF white or black.

NEW CASTLE MATTERS
ELECTION OVER;
MANY SURPRISES
Disorderly Negroes Cause
Much Excitement in New
Castle
special 10 the EvenIng journal


New Castle, Oct. 6.--'rhe Republican
nominations on Saturday were closely
contested, and many people were sur
prised at the small majority given Tay-
lor over Elkinton for representative.
The Union Republicans had boasted
that Taylor would win with at least by
$50 majority. He had but thirty-eight
over Elkinton. The Regulars did not
expect to win, and consequently put lit
tie vim into the campaign before Satur-
day. The result indicates that the vest
pocket voter was out in force, and that
HE sentiment is growing against Ad-
dicks candidates.
The tllggest surprise was the small
vote polled by Senator McFarlin. Pan
coast, his opponent, made little effort
to win, and the Regular leaders did not
expect him to poll within a hundred of
the number he did. The narrow margin
of two which McFarlin had to the good
shows that if the Regulars had gone
into the campaign with the determine
tion Of polling their full strengah, Nc
Farlin would have been beaten. Pan
coast polled 113 votes in New Castle,
which is thirteen more than the Regu-
lars expected he would get. James B.
Foster, the Addiclzs leader, predicted
that Pancoast would not get 25 votes
in New Castle. Fosters reputation as a
guesser received a hard knock, and he
will probably get posted a little better
in the future
For sheriff, Stidham received the
most votes, despite the fact that the
Unions did all in their power against
him. The leaders were willing to bet
odds that he would not carry the dis
trict. Ratledge was their man for re-
corder of deeds, but his opponent car
ried the city hy almost as much major
ity as Ratledge received votes. For
register of Wills they worked for Bach,
but walker polled 164 votes against
Bachs $50.
Negro Desperate Jailed
On Saturday night "Bill" Hill, color
ed, had things his own way at the
Railroad House. He assaulted Mr.. Fa-
gan, the proprietor and then turned
his attention to Mrs. Fagan, after
which he helped himself to liquors, but
this is where he lost. and was jailed by
an officer. Before Mayor Boyd yester-
day he was fined $40 and costs. This
Pagan offered to pay, but the Mayor
refused him this privilege, and sent
Hill to the workhouse.

with a razor by an unknown negro on
