A..au,fea tbe German Consu.


 WASHINGTON, Sept. 25.-At the navy department the fact is learned that the aged civilian" whom Assist ant Paymaster Rishworth Nicholson re- gently attacked at public ball at Che fu, China, was the German consul at that place. Nicholson, who was said to be drunk at the time, was convicted by court martial and sentenced to reduc- ton of five numbers in grade. Rear Ad- miral Evans, commanding the Asiatic station, in his review of the findings severely arraigned the court for the in adequate sentence imposed. It appears that the. German consul did not form ally report the matter to his govern ment, supposing Nicholson would be properly punished by the American court

BRIBF TROLLEY TIE-UR
All Systems in Northern New Jersey
 Threatened

Threatened
 NEWARK, N J., Sept 25.-What threatened to be general tieup of the trolley systems of all of northern New Jersey commenced in Newark last even ing, when, just before 6 o'clock, the crews of the Newark division of the Public Service corporation, which con- trols all the lines deserted their cars.
 As each ear reached the barns on the 6 o'clock run the men guided their cars into the shed and then walked away As a result much inconvenience was caused to the public, thousands of whom, leaving the factories and stores were left without means of conveyance to reach their homes.
 Shortly after midnight Mir. Orr, na- tional treasurer of the associa ton, and MT. Conway, president of the Newark local. with the representatives of the conference with Mir. McCarter, the president. and several other officers and directors of the corporation.
 They returned to Lyric hail. and aft CT a short private discussion MT. Con- way told the several hundred men who were present that the talk with MT. McCarter, while devoid of definite result, was satisfactory. He said no general strike order would be issued, at least not until after today, and that the indications were favorable for a benefit the conductors and motormen.
 Conway's unsuccessful negotiations with the corporation and his yielding when considerable portion of the lines had been tied up aroused the men to a state of great indignation.
 Immediately upon their being off, cially notified that the strike had been called off many of them held an in formal meeting and voted to recon vene and consider measures for carry ing on the fight that had been started The question of deposing Conway and substituting for him leader more in accord with the sentiment of the mo tormen, conductors and others for a general strike will then come up.
 The employees demand a recognition of their union, the abolition of time trips, P cents an hour and reduction of the hours of work. They say that under the present system they are re quired to be on duty fourteen hours in order to finish their working day of ten hours.
 The Public Service corporation is the successor of the North Jersey Railroad company and controls extensive privi- leges throughout the state outside of 
 the lines in Newark, Elizabeth, Hobo ken and Paterson. Tn all about 2,OO0 men are employed.
 There has been more or less friction between the employees and the officials of the company for some time, and the desertion of the. Newark men is the continuation of a series of differences which have not been adjusted.

A high-luster white pearl worth
$4,000 has been found in Iowa. Forty
years ago a fresh water pearl as large

EDUCATION FoR oIRLs.

In these days OF graduating exer
cises let us enter a word of protest
against a great deal Of so-ealled edu
cation for girls.
Let us say to begin with that there
is proper and improper education fol
boys and girls. and the question Is
what is right for either?
But for girls let us emphasize the
fact that girls we'll become the heads
Of families and the mothers OF child
rem.
The importance of the home life
and the potent influence of the fami
ly circle for husband and children
lies in the wife and mother.
Accomplishments that tend tc
make a woman a charming wife
mother and companion are of far
more Importance than purely intel
lectual powers.

arts. dancing. literature. languages,
and to become a fine conversational.
lists. is education.
knowledge Of science. mathematics
training for business and the profes.
sions may be necessary for some wo-
men but are legitlmately not a part
Of a girls education from the home
and family standpoint.
Too great pressure of school and
college curriculums and too many ex.
aminations dry up the springs Of
youth, of womanhood and. maternity.
The strained look on many faces the
plnched and nervous countenances
OF too many college girls. tell the
story OF wrong education.
Excitements and unnatural tension
of college courses and the mad race
of co-eduoatIon. of putting young
woman through everything that
man can undertake at college. even TO
football and base ball, are not part OF
education.
All educational methods that tend
to sexlessness are immoral and unfit.
ting womanhood for happiness and
prepare the race for greater mlser
les yet TO come.
Accomplishments count for more to
make a happy man or woman than
mere dollar grabbing requirements,
that ignore the spiritual needs OF the
human race.
Success In life depends on reserve
powers. on resources that are not
material and In which socalled mon.
