WOMEN THE MORE AMIABLE.
A New York Street Car Conductor
Pays a Graceful Compliment to
the GentIer Sex.

The conductor raised quite a COM
motion when he said that he liked
women, says the New York Times.
II mean it," he repeated. 81 like
them not only as women, but as pas
sengers. If we conductors and mo-
tormen knew the meaning of the
word gratitude, either through the
dictionary or the human emotions,
we'd stop finding so much fault with
women. In reality, they are our best
friends. If they were not the very
personification of leniency we'd have
much harder time than we now
have. I don't deny that they are tan
talizing, and fairly drive man out
of his wits at times, with their
squealing and wavering and bobbing
about this way and that, but the
truth is that when they do get
knocked down and run over as con-
sequence of not knowing their own
mind, they are not nearly so apt to
complain as the men.
"The most careless reader of the
daily papers ought to know that.
Time and again do we read reports
of accidents in which Mrs. So-and-So
and her friends were run down by
an electric car while out driving and
thrown Is feet in the air, landing
with such force as to break their
collar bones and three ribs apiece
But do they complain? Not a bit of
it. Invariably the article winds up
by saying: The women refused to
make complaint against the motor
man and he was released
"What man, do you suppose, would
have been SO forgiving? Why, you
can't find him. He doesn't exist
Just let a man even get his ankle
twisted when hurrying to get out OF
our way and he hobbies straight UP
to headquarters and raises the big,
gest kind of row. Women are toe
sympathetic to do that. I've inquired
into the cause of their forbearance
pretty closely, and I find that, in
spite of their reputed nastiness OF
temper, they are soft as putty at the
core, and when pressed to fasten the
blame for the accident upon some OF
us fellows they rub their black and
blue spots thoughtfully and say:
No, I can't do it. The poor fellow
probably has a family depending
upon him for support. If complain
he'll be discharged, and then wla1
will become of them? Let the mat
ter drop, please And then she cries
a little and the affair is called off.
"Just contrast that magnanimity
with the supreme selfishness of a
man. His conduct under similar cir,
cumstances is positively disgraceful
Il can't bother about the family,
says he. The fellow ought TO have
thought about them before he tore
me into shreds. I've been injured
and I'm going to slap back. The fell
low must be discharged And out
we go.
"All honor and praise to the wom-
en-, say I. They may grumble and
growl in public till they are black
in the face, but very seldom does one
of them put in good bona fide COM
plaint at the superintendent Office
and that is what counts"

Mr. Alexander 9. Hutchinson, of
New Orleans, died recently and a very
pretty story has come to light. Mr..
Hutchinson was capitalist, a railway
president, a captain of industry; his
manners were harsh and repellant to
all who appealed to him for charity
but after rebuffing the applicant he
would secretly investigate the case,
and if found worthy immediate and
generous relief camefroman unknown
source. He never let his right hand
know what his left was doing,

the public and the profession by DR..
Julian at the proper time, and in the
meantime he will continue the inves-
tigation with the methods outlined
by DR.. Stiles. The symptoms of the
disease resembles very much chronic
malaria and the microscope is used
to distinguish between the two. For
tunately, with a good microscope
this is easy to do, and the treatment
is fairly simple and efficient. I ex-
pect to Immediately put my assist
ants in the hospital here and in the

matter and will instruct them in the
methods shown me by DR.. Stiles"

BRAN NEW DISEASE.

Mill Operatives and Others.
"The most. interesting thing l
heard at the meeting of the State
Medical Society at Hot Springs"
said DR.. J. P. Munroe, president OF
the North Carolina Medical College,
and of the Presbyterian Hospital, in
this city, to an Observer reporter
last night, "was an address by DR..
G. W. Stiles, of Washington, who is
a specialist in zoology, connected
with the United States Marine Ser
vice. He was at the meeting by spe-
cial permission of the s~urgeon-gen-
eral of the Navy to discuss a disease
that he has been Investigating, and
which he calls the hook worm disease.
He has issued a special bulletin
which, in connection with his adj
dress, will be printed in the minutes
of the society meeting, the details
of which will hardly interest the
general public.
"It will be remembered that some
months ago the Observer printed a
humorous extract from an interview
with Mr.. Stiles, in which it was
stated that the germ of l~aziness has
been discovered. This statement
originated in a casual statement by
DR.. Stiles that one of the character
istic symptoms of the disease was a
languid tired feeling and a friend
jocularly remarked, You have evil

in India for some time, but to DR..
Stiles is due the credit of discovering
and studying the first case known in
this country. His Investigations
have been chiefly among the cotton
mill operatives, minors and orphan
ages in southeastern North Carolina,
South Carolina and Georgia. DR..
Stiles elected immense applause in
that part of his address in which
he stated that the sallow complexion,
bloodless lips and deficient energy so
often found among cotton mill OPP
eratives along the Atlantic coast and
occasionally in the Piedmont section
are due to this disease rather than
to the hard labor and badly con-
structed houses so much harped up
on by Northern philanthropists. The
Doctors description of the symptoms
of this disease were so vivid that
almost Immediately one of two mem
bers of the Association arose and
stated that they had cases under

scription and that they would be glad

examine the cases.

oakes Homo Is Taxable.

Judge Johnson of the District Court
at Denver has decided that the Oakes
Home for Consumptives in Denver is
not charitable institution under the
intent of the law and is therefore not
entitled to exemption from taxation.
The suit was brought by the bishop
and chapel of the Cathedral of St.
John, corporation, against the treas
urer Of Arapahoe county to prevent
the latter from selling the Oakes Home
for delinquent taxes. The amount al
legged to be due under the decision is
$4.943.95, the total on valuation of
$83, 400 in 1901 and $66,720 in 1902. 1t
is understood that an appeal will be
made from the decision.
In the decision, Judge Johnson goes
to great length in his description of
the expensive and luxurious interior
decoration of the home, such as a
plentiful supply of tiled bathrooms and
lavatories, well stocked library, and
various up-to-date little comforts for
those who pay $45 month for room
and board; or 81 pei day.
The valuation of the grounds and
buildings is estimated at $1S0.000; the
maintenance of the home and profits
come from the patrons. The officers
and servants make payroll of $4,000
year. and Judge Johnson thinks that
to include the home in the list with
charitable institutions would he un-
constitutional.

More Troops Recalled.

A Denver Republican special of Oc-
tober 30th says: Governor Peabody
yesterday recalled $50 of the National
Guard, now stationed in the Cripple
Creek district. That will reduce the
total force in the Cripple Creek dis
trict to about $50 men, which, in the
opinion of Governor Peabody, is suffi-
cient to preserve order in the district.
The companies and commands recalled
were: Troop c of Denver, in command
of Captain H. d. Smith; Battery A of
Denver, commanded by Capt. j. c. Ex-
line; Company A of Florence, Company
E of Fort Collins and Company II OF
Fort Morgan.
With these troops will come the re-
tired officers now on active duty and
several of the colonels on the COVER
nor's staff. The situation is clearing
sufficiently to make this change advis-
able and Governor Peabody stated yes
terday afternoon that ne thought that
the rest Of the troops could be sent to
their homes before long Il believe
said Governor Peabody. that the sitna-
ton in Cripple Creek warrants the
sending of the troops to their homes.
and for this reason l have done so.
am in hopes that before another week
has passed that the remainder Of the
troops can be sent back to their
homes. l have thought it advisable to
return the retired officers and some OF
the colonies. The situation is now
such that only enough for provott
guard are needed, and the $50 men now
in the district will be sufficient for
that"

Complaint Against Judge Seeds.

In brief filed in the Court of Ap-
peals October 31st. charges are made
that Judge William P. Seeds made
such remarks in the conduct of case
that the remarks could well be taken
as resembling anarchy. The brief is
on behalf of the appellants in the Grip
pie Creek election case and is entitled
THE City Council of the City of Grip
pie Creek, ct al. Against James E.
Hanley and w. G. Shultz." The at
torneys in the case ore for the city
council and are Messrs. Temple,
Crump, James Owen, George H. Kohn
and Charles c. Butler The members
of the city council are contesting the
right of James E. Hanlev and w. G..
Shultz to seats in the city council. In
the trial court Judge Seeds decided
for the two members seeking seats and
the case comes to the Court of Ap-
peals.
The statement, which is said to be
eminently unfair on the part of the
court, was made, it is claimed in the
brief, at the opening of the case. On
account of the bias of the court a
change of venue was asked. The re-
marks which are cited in the brief fol-
low:
"It appears that the petitioners,
Hanley and Shultz, were elected by a
majority of the votes cast, and re-
ceived their certificates of election
from the proper officers. and where
1t appears that they have been arbi.
trarily removed from Office and their
places given to men who were not
elected and had no right thereto. If
courts refuse to grant redress in such
cases. the people will take the matter
into their own hands, and would be
justified in SO doing"
This coming from the presiding
Judge in the case is said in the brief
to be SO startling as to arouse fears
of the parties against whom they were
directed. 1t is claimed that after this
remark the judge should have granted
change of ventle.
