Washington, June 6.-The court Of

two cases reversed had decided that the
postmaster general had no authority
to prevent carriage of the two publ

OLD-TIME CORN BREAD.
Other Points About Delicious South
ern Cookery.

With good meal and a cook follow

regime, delicious bread may be baked

doubts whether it can be baked as
well in a stove as in an open fireplace.
But alasl of the latter only a few re-
main.
An ashcake. of course. must have
ashes. They are indispensable. As well
try to produce a mint julep without
mint. On the other hand, "hap-jacl<s'
need only a well-greased frying pan;
but skill is required to turn them That
is done by pitching them out of the pan
into the air and making them come
down flap on the other side. The corn
pone may be cooked in a stove orange.
The hoecake was originally cooked
on a hoe IN the fields and in the negro
cabins. A skillet will do well enough
for it, but must be well creased at the
bottom. So too, with respect to egg or
batter bread. AS for corn mullins, the
appliances of a range are admirably
adapted to them.

OLD MAID AGE RECEDES.
Woman Not Beyond Line Now Till
She Is Thirty.

few years ago twenty-five was re-
garded as the age at which woman
became an old maid.
The limit has now been set at thirty
In other words. at thirty is the imagi~
nary line which separates the terms OF
spinsterho0d into halves, the first stage
being that of eligibility to matrimony
and the second that of forced or vol
untary resignation to single blessed
ness.
Although the cry of "old maid" may
still be heard. it has ceased to alarm
Indeed. there are no old maids in the
used, and the idea that marriage was
the chief aim of woman no longer ex>
lists in the minds of sensible people
Nor is a woman supposed to have lost
all power of attraction because she has
entered her third decade. Balzac has
laid down the theory that a woman 1t
thirty is at her most fascinating and
dangerous age-dangerous, that is, to
the hearts of men.
She cannot boast perhaps, of q long
train of admirers. Partners at balls are
less persistent and fewer in number.
The delicate aroma of fiattery has be-
come, fainter and now and then a. very
young man may make her feel like her
own grandmother by asking advice
about his love affairs. Nevertheless.
many women who have entered the
thirtfes are the center of a drama upon
which the curtain is not likely to fall
for many year.

1t is not only a fact that women
marry later in life than they used to-
but it is equally true that everywhere
the more mature woman is to the fore
The young and inexperienced bud has
ceased to be the reigning queen of the
hour. She has been forced to yield her
place to the maturer woman, the wo-

the bachelor maid, and that is that I
am no longer a bread-and- butter miss.
There is no period of her existence,
think, wherein woman appears to less
advantage. 1t is almost impossible for
a. girl of eighteen not to be conscious, I
and she has so little knowledge Of the
world that she is unable to hide her

1T is amusing. even pathetic, to see
the efforts of the poor thing to appear

YROOMAN Que OF RUsKIN
University Has Accepted His Resig-

Chicago, June 6.-Ruskin university,
through its board of ad1ninistra ton, to-
day made public the fact that more than
a week ago the institution had accepted
the resignation from the board of Walter
Nrooman It was explicitly stated by
the board that in so doing it took no
cognizance of either his personal or
business affairs. Whether Mrs. Vroo-
man had sued her spouse for a divorce
or whether he had lost large sums OF
money trying to carry out the ideas Of
the Socialist political party, the univer-

1t was stated today that Mr.. Vrooman
had Forwarded his resignation to the
board and it had been accepted. No re-
quest or hint Of request for his resig-
nation had been made, according to the
officials of the college.
In accepting the resignation the board
took occasion to declare itself against"

Berlin. June 6.-Prof. w. Cookies. be-

The subject was Modern views on
matters-the realization Of a dream"
Sir William cited the utterances of Sir
Humphrey Quay and Faraday as antic-
ipating the possibility of reducing the
elements to simpler bases and sketched
the significance of Roentgen rays and
Bequerel rays and the points of Cur

All these observations he said, 'find

to give encoura cement to the people OF
Topeka The city of Lawrenceburgh,
Ind. of 10000 inhabitants. was certainly

had cleaned up and were occupying
their dwellings. Houses that had been
entirely swept away were rebuilt. AMI
in a few months business was resumed
and everything going on as usual. No
sickness or disease followed in the wake
of the flood. as so many fear will be
