AN ANCIENT ISLANDER.
The Common Tdea That Woman TN
 Ponder Than Man of Hearing Herself Talk.

The less foundation there is for a slander the longer it lives. How many Ideas there are in existence to-day that have been handed down through chan sels of literature and verbal tradition and are firmly believed m by the mass of mankind, and yet are absolutely er- roneous. For example, takest com mon idea of wonan's garTulity. From the prevalence of this mistaken notion, one might imagine that man has lost the power of speech and that man is the sole medium for verbal commu- nication, says the Housekeeper.
 The so-called comic papers teem with Jokes in which wornan's alleged fondness for words, words, words, as Hamlet says, is held up for ridicule. The men who write cynical paragra phs for the press are continually harping upon this ancient theme of feminine loquacity with such remarks as this: "A man in Missouri hasn't spoken 8 word to his wife in 16 years. Perhaps he was unwilling to interrupt" Or, "it was said of certain great man that he could be silent in seven languages. It is rarely that woman performs one-seventh of this feat" Funny? Perhaps, but with a sting.
 Let us see whether verbosity is a purely feminine characteristic. Preaching and the law may be regard ed as chief among the ''talkative" pro- fessions, and these are filled almost ex- clusively by men. Barbering, too, which is somewhat of conversat tional calling, att racts many more men than women, and who ever heard of fe- male auctioneer? The truth is, the power of speech was given to both men and women for intelligent use, and one sex abuses the privilege about as much as the other. But to lay the entire burden of criticism upon woman Is the essence of injustice.

Woman in Important Post.

No woman occupies more responsi- ble position under the United States than Mrs. A. E. Brown, who for many years has been the burnt note expert of the treasury depart ment. Her husband, through i'll health, was incapacitate<i score of years ago, and the couple then left their home in New York and went to Washington, where Mrs. Brown at once applied for a government position. After a great deal of persistence she secured position in the treasury and was set to work counting ten-cent notes, or "shin plasters," as the frac- tional currency at that time issued was known. These were received by the wagon load in all stages of delapida- ton. Her first promotion came in g. year, when she was permitted to count 25-cent notes. After that as the years went by she climbed steadily upward to her present important post. So fa- Ynilia= is she with United States cur rency and that of the national banks that she can put together charred notes which no one else could tell from any other sort of paper.-Chicago Rec ord-Herald. -.,. ....s
Waterbury evening Democrat., 1903-07-10

Dr. Lapponi united in expressing the belief that there was some slight pros pect of recovery, but within a few hours these brighter prospects disap- peared before the most alarming con cluSions, reached after the lengthy con sultatton of the doctors. The earlier hopes had been inspired largely by the ,ppntiff's outward evidence of vigor, as he was able to rise, walk and command all his faculties, but the later consuita- ton disclosed that these outward evil dences of strength were entirely decep- tive, as the real danger consisted in the gradual internal progress of the in sidious disease.
 The doctors freely expressed their personal convictions regarding the ex- treme gravity of the case. pr. Lapponi said without qualification that the pa tient's condition was beyond hope. He did not expect g final collapse last night, but rather gradual sinking un- til the end came. How long the suf- ferer may last the doctors will not venture any prediction. Ordinary cal cula tions, they say, fail to apply to LulS SAoS. OAC OA LAACAA remarked yesterday: Here is man almost 100 years old retaining all his mental and most of his physical fac ulties and bravely combating the ap- proach of death. Although the cOndi- tjons change from hour to hour, the essential conditions of mental alert ness and physical vigor continue un- broken. Never yet has there been the slightest lapse into incohereney."
 The latest bulletins declare that the pope is still very low, with conditions unchanged.
 Mgr volpini, secretary of the Con- sistorial Congregation, who had an at tack of syncope in an antechamber of the papal apartments, is dead. Mgr. Volpini received his appointment from the pope only few days ago.

Gives Quotation Showing Hours and ., Wages on Other Lines.
 The strikers executive committee is- sued their 1s1st daily statement to-day, as follows:
 ''To-Inorrow night, will mark the sixth mohth of this great. strike. For one-half a year we have stood it out against the greatest odds, backed by a generous public, and after six months we can present solid and determined line ready to continue if needs be, yet not aErogantly standing in defiance and not willing to listen to anything that will allow us to give the order to break ranks, stop the battle and proceed to work, as in days gone by. How differ ent with the company, which for half a year has been losing money daily in quantities that must be frightfully large rather than concede us few of the requests we made. If We were asking more than other trolIeymen throughout the country were getting and thought they were worth, thing would be different. But our work is just as responsible as any other troll leyman's position, therefore we ought to be as well paid in our opinion Just listen othis, from New York news paper:
 '' The employees of the Coney Island and Brooklyn Railway Go and of the Van Brandt Street and Erie Basin Rail. way Go, who are members of division 2S3, Anna lg@@sated Street Railway En- ployes of America, are comparatively happy to-day in the enjoyment of an agreement with the two companies pro- viding for a en-hour work day within twelve consecutive hours, 25 cents per hour and conciliation of all disputes that may occur between now and July, 1904
 ''The proposal of the company to send some of our men to New Britain and onto the Southington, Meriden and Compounce line has borne fruit. Not the kind that the company will desire, however, for if we are informed cor rectly the men on those lines are get ting together to see why they should be supplanted to make room for the satisfaction of others. Tn all probabfl' ity, from what we can learn, there have been several gatherings recently, and there may be other requests presented to the company from those lines short ly It does not seem possible that the company is at all anxious to have other strikes on those lines, but such con- dition will not surprise us.''
