SECRETARY HAY.

From the New York Times.
 Within Secretary Hays time the state department has had entirely new and very complicated questions with which to deal. Every one of them has been ade- quately met and dealt with. insomuch that the credit of American diplomacy throughout the world stands higher now than it has ever stood before. Hr. Hays s description of our foreign policy as based on ''the golden rule and the Monroe doc trine' has been recognized and accepted not only at home, but also abroad. Es- pecially with a President of the generous impulsiveness of MT. Roosevelt Is the balance wheel provided by the secretary of state needful almost to the point of being indispensable. Informed and con- siderate Americans have come to regard the secretary of state as eminently "a safe counselor in the affairs of this na- tion." They would learn, not merely with regret, but with alarm. that he meant to retire from the cabinet. They learn with relief that he has no such in- tention.

Stood Six and Six.

The jury in the Turner case has aroused deal of criticism in the northern papers, and nearly all of them approvingly quote Judge Jones' words of rebuke to the jurors when he dismissed them, after they had made 1t plain they could not agree, standing evenly divided as they did.
 The fagrancy of their conduct stands confessed. The evidence was plain, the law even plainer, and there was no reason why they should not have brought in a verdict, But petit Jury Is after all but a fragment of public sentiment. Mems prejudices go farther among petit jurors than the law and the evidence This is not an ideal condition. It does not com. mend trial by jury, nor does it speak we'll for American intelligence. But facts are facts, and the man who expects petit juror anywhere to rise lbov6 the level of the community rom which it is drawn, is a man who s doomed to repeated disappoint- nents. It will not do it, except acci- lentally and occasionally.
 Judge Jones did not hesitate to tell he jury in the Turner case that they nad been considering one where here is no dispute as to the law or he facts, and no room for reasona- ,le doubt" And yet something sim. lar would occur under similar cir

WOMEN WHO WORK.
.e I.os Anreles Herald.

From the Los Angeles Herald.
 Recent statistics relating to the work of English women afford opportunity for an interesting comparison with similar re- turns in the United States census. It is noticeable, on first glance at the compara- tive figures. that American women are more favorably situated than their Eng fish cousins. That is to say, the greater advantages of American girls in securing technical and professional education give a larger percentage of chances to ascend the social ladder. For instance, there are 352 women physicians in England In the city of Chicago alone there are 54S. On the other hand, as indicating the relative drawback to English aspiration, there are 4OoO women employed as butchers in Eng land, but only SIS in the United States.
 The most striking example of difference in the lot of the two classes is seen in the lines of business management. In England women business managers are rare except in small shops. market stalls and the like. In the United States however, there are 261 women who are wholesale merchants s4162 retail merchants, POS bankers and brokers, 1861 restaurant proprietors, S54o hotel managers and 907,7SS farmers. On the other hand, in the United States there are about 400O women employed as metal workers, while in England there are co., 900 such employees.
 One cause to be taken into account in the comparison, however, is the fact that in England there are 100000 more women than men, while in the United States there are 1, 800 ,0o0 more men than women.

FACES OF MEN AND WOMEN.
Are the Former More Likely to Show
 Defects Than the Latter7
From the New York Sun.

From the New York Sun.
 After they had held down a bench on Riverside drive for an hour. dr;ing which time 800 people had passed, one of them wound up his disconnected comments with this:
 Have you ever noticed how few wom- en you see with any deformity in their faces? You may watch the crowd in any street and every tenth man will have a broken nose, or a disfgured mouth. or de- formed chin or some mark which indi- cates misfortune. But not one woman in fifty is so marked.
 You see ugly women, women with tell tale lines in their faces. and plenty of good looking women. but, as I say. not one in ffty-I have made the count fre- quentIy and that is the average-has scar or an abnormal mark on her face.
 "T asked doctor about 1t and his ex- panation was that women being out of doors less than men are more protected from accidents But that is not satis- factory if you study the proposition.
 You may stand at the Manhattan end of the Brooklyn bridge in the rush hour, as I have done, and take 100 women and then take the first twenty men afterward that pass along, men and women who you know come and go to work daily and you will find more men marked in the face than you will find women. am not talk ing about women who go shopping, but women who work in stores and shops.
 T used to be a night worker and went home on the early morning trains which carry an army of night workers of both sexes-the women in such cases being from the bakeshops and cafes and places where women are as much in danger as men, and rarely did ever see woman whose face was marred by any natural deformity, or by anything that would indicate an accident
 "The only conclusion I ever reached was that women are more careful of their faces than men, but that applies only to accidents. How about those who have been favored from birth? Why are they, approximately, more fortunate than men?'

bank cheaues Make Queer TrIps.

OdnN OuCAiqCS sAa1@t AAtfSt
 A prominent Birmingham attorney was in the -onice of Charles J. Allison, clerk Of the United States court yesterday and exhibited five dollar national bank note, issued by a bank in Atlanta, that had never been signed. The bill was worn and full of pin holes showing that it had passed through banks and been pinned up with other bills in bundles.
 A gentleman present during the discus sion stated that he had once hurriedly given a cheque to a friend who was eall- ed on @ sudden journey. That the cheque was cashed by the treasurer of a large railroad company deposited in bank and passed through the clearing house and came back to the bank on which it was drawn before the discovery was made that 1t was unsigned
 But MT. Allison could see all these bets and go several better. He has a cheque which was drawn to pay bill owing to a Chicago concern. By some inadyer- tance the eheque was mailed without be- 1T g graced by MT. Allison's John Hancock. It was accepted by the Chicago man, passed through eight banks and clearing houses, as the endorsements on the back showed and was sent back, in a bunch of cancelled vouchers from the bank before the commission of the one thing that made it of value was discovered.
 And yet 1t Is generally supposed that banks are models of business and mer- cantile system.

From the Washington Post.
 Turf investment and "520 per centers" do not have monopoly on the desire to get rich quick which has apparently be- come a mania that has captured the in- vestment interests of the country, with results that are causing some apprehen- sion among the holders of legitimate se- curities and among municipalities that have legitimate securities to offer on the worlds money markets. There has been no time in the history of the country, financial stress, when gilt-edged bonds and debentures have been in such poor demand on the market as at present. Money seeking a longtime investment in substantial securities has always been generously ample, as attested by the his- tory of municipal securities. Cities like Omaha, Denver. St. Paul and Indianapo- money seeking conservative investment, have been able to reduce their bond in- terest each year until for several years past their debentures have been in strong demand at s4 or 1 per cent, where ten years ago only and per cent bonds found ready buyers. But within the last six months the money conditions have so changed that even Chicago cannot get bid for 31s per cent bonds running for fifty years. Chicago's credit Is admitted to be first class in the world s bond mar ket, and yet the fact remains that her gilt-edged debentures. offering attractive inducements to permanent investors, are begging on the market, with no takers.

SALARY OF SWISS CLERGY.

From the Indianapolis Journal.
 Switzerland is furnishing evidence that a man may do good work outside of the ordinary lines of his profession. Swiss masters in the state schools in the sum- mer season often turn guides, and the Swiss clergy are becoming innkeepers in their parishes. Recently a pastor. the papers announced, had purchased an inn at Ufhusen. a little village near Basel In the cantons of upper and lower Inter- walden and Uri many of the clergy are attending both to the spiritual and ma terial wants of their flock. The reason of this innovation is that the priests are so badly paid that they are obliged to sup plement their meager incomes by other means. The average income of the clergy in that country Is $125 a year. The estab- lishments under their control are models of their kind, and they have succeeded in reducing drunkenness in their parishes. The cures attend on their parishes in per- son, refusing to serve those who they consider have enough.

Lynchinq Is Murder.

Justice Brewer of the United States Supreme court opened new line of editorial expressions when he said:
 "Every man who takes part In the burning or lynching of negroes Is murderer, and should be so considered in the eyes of the law
 Although it is always given in de- fense of such actions that what are known to lawyers as extenuating cir cumstances lessen to a considerable de- gree the gravity of the offense, 1t is my opinion that no circumstances whatever can change the classification of the crime to anything else but murder. Any man who kills his fellowman otherwise than in defense of himself or his prop erty commits nothing less than murder. The man who takes part in the burning of negro, no matter how atrocious was the 1atter's conduct, is guilty of this crime"
 Uncomfortable as this may appear to some, yet it is the truth-the long and short of the entire matter. Nor is this all The individual crime or re- sponsibility is the lesser part of the trouble. Lynching is anarchy. It Is disorganizing and brutalizing to an extreme degree, and wherever it is practiced respect for law becomes q hollow mockery. The latter is brushed aside, and individual will takes its place, killing whomsoever it desires to have put out of the way. It acts h the hour of excitement, and scores of Innocent persons have been it's victims. If the will of knot of people is to suppiant law in one case, it will supplant it in other cases, un- til finally whoever a number of neigh bors want dead will be killed summar- fly without trial or investigation of any kind whatsoever. This is an archy pure and simple. While one set of lynchers considers one crime a proper cause for lynching, another set selects another crime as an ex- cuse for fun and excitement, partic- ularly in secluded rural districts, and the sum total includes at length about all the crimes in the calendar, including the lynching of very con siderable percentage of innocent per sons.
 Judge Brewers words are timely. They fit Indiana and Illinois and Del aware as snugly as they do Missis- sippi, Texas or Georgia. Alabama, thanks to Governor Jelks, has been found in the lynching belt but once this year. and the lynchers in that one case will soon have a chance to explain before judge and jury their uncalled-for conduct

Minino Under Water.

The state of Minnesota has commenced granting leases for mining purposes un- der the lake beds. The attorney general of the state has passed upon the legality of the leases. This form of mining, while entirely new in this state, is not un- known, for in Wales there are very exten- sive tin mines under the bed of the ocean and in some portions of Canada there are mines which extend far out to sea.
 Even in the United States there is a precedent, for in northern Michigan there is an iron mine in operation under the waters of a small lake, and it is said that similar operations are In practice in some of the other states. But it presented an entirely new question to the secretary of state when an application was made last month to lease the beds of seven teen of the Minnesota lakes for prospect ing purposes, and there was some ques- ton In the mind of the auditor as to the The problem involved the rights of ripar- ian owners and those of the United States government as we'll In none of these cases were there any state lands located on the shores of the lakes.
 The privilege granted to the applicants is the one-year prospecting lease. as 1t is termed, and for this the fee of $25 per quarter section is collected. Should the prospecting yield indicators of ore the regular mineral leases will be applied for, and in case of mining operations the state will collect the regular royalty of 25 cents a ton, besides taxes on the prop erty. What the basis of this taxation would be, however 1t is hard to deter mine, when it is considered that the land to be operated is under the surface of the water.
 The lease granted last week is for the bed of Longyear Lake, in township IS, range 20, St. Louis county. The terms of the lease expressly preclude any effort on the part of the lessees to reach the bed of the lake by draining off the waters. What engineering methods Mir McCln- tock and his associates intend to employ in their operations has not been disclosed. Since filing the original seventeen ap- plications MT. McClintock has presented eight more.
 In many cases mineral deposits have been found on land in the iron ranges bordering on the lakes. and indications are that the veins extend under the lakes. but thus far no attempt has been made to follow them to that extent
