 The loan commission filed report which was heard on Tuesday stating that the commission was prepared to carry out the judgment, but asking for further advice regarding the fund ing of the interest on the coupons Argument in favor of the motion for the correction of the mandate was made by Rochester Ford on behalf of Pima county. The correcting order reduces the amount to be funded by $lOO, 900. Republican.

 The treasury now holds over $j00,- GOO 900 in gold coin, and Director of the Mint Roberts has recommended to Secretary Shaw that the coinage of gold be stopped and that the law be amended so as to admit of issuing gold certificates against gold bars. This would save the expense of coin ing millions of dollars in gold that are never used. Silver borght under the sherman law, which amounted to about 33,0OO ,OO0 ounces at the last an nual report, will about all be coined before the end of the calend 1T year. If the forecast of the government officials may be accepted, says the Journal for Investors, the new year starts out with the greatest promise If any year since our nation was born. It is true that the year just closed showed a balance of trade against us, but this is not regarded as unfavOrabe by those who have examined the ig- ureS closely, t1e difference being due to falling off in the exports of bread StufIS and an increase in the imports of raw material for manufacturers.
 On the personal books of the New York tax department are the names of more than 100000 persons, many of whom have never been assessed.

A Sewing Convenience.

Here Is good suggestion for the
benefit of busy mothers who do theiT
own sewing and have many Interrupt
lions, thereby losing thimble and
needle: Take some dark cretonne OF
any heavy material and make a small
bag the shape of an open envelope
about seven inches long Sew safety
pin on the point of the envelope. put
a small whalebone across the back to
keep II firm and straight and stitch
it strong. Then put in thread thimble
scissors, some tape and few buttons
Of various sizes. Pin the envelope to
the side. and thus equipped many Il
necessary stitch will be taken and time
and temper saved. Brooklyn Eagle.

About The Bridge.

The proposition to build Il bridge
across the Kennebee half mile or so
below the other town bridges has agi-
tated our town from center to circum-
ference for some weeks, and now, even
after the vote favorable to the project
has become history. conversation relative
thereto still continues.
We hear little said in opposition to the
bridge in the abstract, but many
appear to be dissatisfied with some of the
details. The principal objection is to
the width of the structure. The bridge
contemplated by vote of the town is a
structure having a roadway Is feet wide
We have heard many oil ct to this fen.
ture, holding, we think with the best OF
reason, that the roadway should be
fully % fee. The extra expense of thu
four feet additional, we are informed,
would not greatly exceed $4,000. This
is an insignificant sum to stand in the
way of having the correct thing as tC
width.
Another Incidental was omitted, rather
was obscured by the smoke of battle on
the main question. The selectmen need
an appropriation TO build street from
the south end of the proposed bridge tC
Mt. Pleasant Avenue. Il would not re
quire large sum but it is needed.
Objection is made by some of our citi
zens that the date of payment is too long
deferred by the terms of the vote by
which the bridge is authorized. That
vote will not allow payment Of any part
of the principal until 10 full years shall
have elapsed and then the whole sun
must be paid within five years. Oul
people have got into the habit of paying
bills for public improvement in yearly
installments covering a term of 10 years
and we believe they would prefer tt
treat the bridge Indebtedness in much
the same way, or at least pay $1,000 pei
year on the principal.
Still another proposition is hroached
Ii is to employ an expert to examine the
two wooden bridges, and, if it is found
that they may need to be replaced within
few years, to make one job OF the three
bridges, open them up to contractors and
make good bargain on the largely in.
creased size of the contract.

Education of women.

The progress in education is so
marked and so well understood as TO
need but little comment. When in 1851
Mrs. Stanton, Lucy Stone and | made
a demand that girls in the state of New
York should be permitted an opportu-
nifty for II college education, there was
not even high school open to them in
the whole United States. Oberlin, o.,
was the only college they could enter,
and there were no preparatory schools
TO fit them for that institution. At the
present time they are admitted 10 all
the state universities except those of
Virginia, Georgia and Louisiana and
to all the large universities of the mid
die and western states, The unwar-
ranted and retrogressive action of Chi
cago university in "segregating" the
women students shows that the battle
is not entirely over but the end is in
sight.-Susan b. Anthony in Golfers
