LAVISH sPENDER OF MONEY
Woman Travelling on Special Car

Woman Travelling on Special Car
Exhibits Remarkable Generosity.
Citizens OF Muncie. Ind, and en-
ployees of the Big Four railroad We're
perplexed over the actions of a woman
who passed through Muncie the other
night in a special car attached to the
Big -Four train, says an indianapolis
dispatch. She said she was en- route
from New York, where she lived, to
California TO spend the winter. She
gave her name as Miss Williams to
some persons whom she met in the
dining car, but said nothing Of herself
further than this.
Miss Williams is the most lavish
spender of money that the employees
Of the road ever came in contact with.
and she insisted on paying for many
Of the dishes which she ordered for
others at the table. She soon had the
reputation Of being a millionaire. and
she sustained it by tipping the train
men. from conductor TO porter, with
sums ranging from s. TO S25.
At Muncic she noticed a large num-
Der of persons standing on the plat
form when the supper gong rang. and
she gave the porter a roll Of notes and
told him TO have all the people fed
bountifully at her expense.

"Teachers should be married and
made 10 stay married. Boys and girls
between the ages of twelve and twen-
ty years should be segregated. The girls
should be taught by women-wives
and mothers; the boys by men-hus-
bands and fathers"
When these reforms are accomplish
ed the public school will be in a fair
way TO attain the highest pinnacle OF
perfection, the greatest educational and
moral usefulness in the community. ac-
cording TO DR.. Bayard Holmes, who
pointed out the evils in the public
school system and prescribed remedies
for them at recent meeting of the
educational department of the Chicago
Woman's club.
DR.. Holmes took view OF the moth
er's usefulness as schoolteacher oppo-
site TO that held by a number Of the
school trustees. who have been so often
on the verge Of closing the doors Of the
schoolhouses to married women, says
the Chicago Tribune
After making a simile between teach.
ing and kissing, in that neither means
anything unless there is a real relation
existing between the parties to It. DR..
Holmes pleaded for the motherly
schoolteacher He declared that the
days OF usefulness of the spinster
schoolma'am are over and that she
should be employed only to teach girls
intended TO become schoolmaams
Boys and girls between the ages OF
twelve and twenty should be taught
separately declared the speaker. III
is more important to segregate the chill
dren Of the public schools than the
men and women Of the universities.
The school boys and girls are leading
different lives, and their thoughts are
different. l do not see much need in
segregating students who have reached
the age of twenty. The boys should
be taught by men If they are to grow
up men. The girls should be taught
by women-married women, mothers
If they are going to be wives and
mothers. If a girl is going to be a
schoolma'am let her be taught by a
schoolma'am."

Momw.en,, Ab.cnt Mindcdne..,

The late celebrated German histo-
rian, Theodor Mommsen, was the most
absent minded Of men. says the New
York Press. Once while going from
Berlin to Charlottenberg. a half hours
Journey, the trolley car in which he
rode went of the track. The rest Of
the passengers took another car and
went ahead, and the stranded vehicle
was abandoned till help could be
found. Mommsen remained, reading
his book. An hour or two later the
sound Of jacks. levers. derricks. etc.
aroused him. Rising from his seat, he
went to the door and with the most
complete unconcern imaginable re-
marked. Il suppose we have come to a

wished that the use of oil on the school

SHIP MAST UNDER ROOF.
Annapolis Students Have Full Spread

Annapolis Students Have Full Spread
OF Sails For Indoor Practice.
The unique spectacle of a full sized
mast, with all the sails, yards. blocks
and ropes exactly as on a full rigged
ship, within four walls and under a
roof is now to be seen at the new
boathouse at the Naval academy in
Annapolis.
1t is stated by those at the Naval
academy who have studied the subject
that it is the only one of the kind in
the world. There is a large mast used
for purposes of instruction in Ger
many. but it is out of doors. and there
is a small mast in a building at New
port. but it is not nearly the size Of
the one at Annapolis.
The mast which has been erected in
the boathouse is seventy-two feet in
height and is exactly like in every
way the mizzenmast of the United
States steamship Chesapeake. which
was especially constructed for the prac-
tice work Of the midshipmen.

md the thousand and one other classi-

due to financial stringency. nor is

outcome Of the increased cost Of living.
The allowance which was sufficient for
the needs Of the unmarried girl few
years ago is now declared TO be entire

One young woman voices the plant

"Five years ago" she writes. Il had

This letter was put before a woman

has an allowance of f100 $500 year.
1T is quite true" she said, that the
expenditure of unmarried girls has
risen. II has gone up in proportion
with the demands made upon the
purses of married women. AS their
dress has become more expensive, so
too has that of unmarried girls. My
daughters insist upon being turned out

allowances do not suffice. They are in
