EDUCATED WOMEN AS MOTHERS

From Vogue.
 Mothers whose children despise them are themselves to blame for the sentl- ment; for those women are the old-style servant-wives and mothers. The type Is today, of course, largely in the majority owing mainly to the enormous hordes of European peasants that this country har- bors; even in higher caste foreign fam flies this degrading view of the place of mother obtains. Happily, the hundreds of young women graduating annually from colleges are not only so many hundred brands snatched from the burning of ig- norant and suffering motherhood, but the influence of such considerable number of self-poised mentally awakened women is simply incalculable; 1t will eventually lessen even the inert mass of peasant motherhood to the joy of the women themselves and the benefit of their off, spring.

Chicago, July 1s.-Twenty constables were engaged for the fourth time by Att torney Cantwell. acting for E. E. Farley, the turfman. ruled off at Detroit, to serve warrants on officials and bookmakers at the Washington Park race track today.

ENSINNNlN~N
 T noticed" said a gray haired man. "a reference in the paper to Sergeant Brown of old Fort Marion at St. Au- gustlne, and that brought to mind the question that l have often heard asked. What in the world ever caused Spain to spend such an enortnons sum lover s30,- GOO 00o) on a fortiication at that pointp
 T have studied that question and I think I can answer 1t. Spain claimed through Ponce de Leon's discovery of Florida in 1512, all of the territory from the Gulf of Mexico to the Chesapeake bay She was also bringing immense quantities of gold and silver from Peru and Chin by way of the Isthmus of Panama. and she needed some strongly fortified harbor of refuge for her fleets where they could reht and provision. It was thought, too, that the soil of Flori- da was auriferous Havana was being constantly captured and. in fact, all of the Spanish-American ports were at the mercy of the buccaneers and the enemies of spain so King Philip decided to create stronghold at St. Augustine in his province of Florida.
 "The French protestants under Ribault and Landonnier had established settle ments on the St. Johns river, and so there was a twofold aim in Philips pol icy-religious and temporal. In 1865 he granted large force of ships and men, with a lavish supply of provisions and money, to Pietro Menendez, and gave him plenary power in the province of Florida, making but one stipulation. He must drive all protestants out of the province and establish the Roman Catholic relig- ion Menendez was probably chosen largely because he was member of the InauisitionaI council as well as being an able commander. At any rate it Is matter of history that he was as much under the orders of Torquemada as of Philip.
 Tt seems that Philip, whose life had not been impeccable, was very much afraid that he would not get to heaven unless he did something peculiarly ac- ceptable In the eyes of the Lord and he could devise nothing better than to send the Duke of Ava to Holland, and Menendez to Florida, in order that the Huguenots might be shown the errors of their ways. Of course thirty millions was a great deal to spend, but the money came out of other peoples pockets, and the chances for loot were great-or at least were thought to be so--and it is only natural to be willing to ride to sal vation on somebody else's back"

ILLIAM JENNINGS BRYAN has announced that he will go
 to Europe in September to

w i has armour announced <, that he will go go study sociological conditions in the Old World. Probably no man Is more famil- far with similar affairs in this country and the Nebraska orator will no doubt be greatly broadened In his views by the trip. Mr. Bryan has been accused of calamity bowling against the status of the working man in America, but when he sees the wretched conditions which weigh upon the laboring classes in Eu- rope he will come to the conclusion that the toiler of this country is not in such bad fix after all
 There are many people in the United States who have a sincere admiration for Mir Bryan, and many of them are poll ticians. but if he would only unearth a new subject for discussion other than free silver and the trusts they would all feel grateful. The Nebraska statesman will be potent factor. nevertheless in the approaching democratic convention, but 1t Is generally believed that he has practically no chance for the nomination for the presidency.
 The recent shoot for the Palma trophy in Old England and the victory of the American marksmen has revived interest in the healthy sport. the Americans winning by fifteen points at Bsley. The Palma trophy has a most interesting hls- tory. For years past interest in the in- ternational shooting matches had been almost extinguished but the mettle of the crack shots Is now awakened and some interesting contests will take place in the future. During the American centennial international rife shooting reached it's zenith. The sum of ss000 was raised by subscription and the Palma trophy dedi- cated with the following inscription:
 From the United States of America to the rlfemen of the world"
 In the same year American, English, Scottish Irish and Canadian terms shot for the prize and the American team was victorious. The next year Sir Henry Hal ford came over with an English team. but was defeated. After that no contest took place for a long time. The trophy drift ed to Governors Island, where it re- mained for twenty years. A Canadian team cana over the border about two years ago and defeated the Americans at Seag1rt. This aroused interest in the sport again, and the American shots have just recovered the trophy, which they will bring back to these shores.
 Rumors of war between Turkey and Bulgaria have become so frequent that people are tired of reading the dispatches. Almost every day some busy correspon- dent sends out a string of clashes" "en- counters" and pitched battles" until thinking persons are inclined to view them with suspicion. However, if war really breaks out in this part of the world it will be characterized by extreme bru- tality and excesses of all kinds, so it is

Port-au-Prince, Hayti July 1s.-The con- flict between President Nord and the chambers continue. A state of siege has been proclaimed and the national guard has been summoned to arms.

Mrs. Eddy's Poetry.

 Truth happifies life in hamlet or town, Life lessens all pride-its pomp and its
 frown-

 With everlasting love"
 ''We have ascrbed these lines to Mrs Eddy for several reasons-first, that they are about what one would expect her to write in the last stages of senile degener- ation; second (this we admit is a very bad and weak reason). because they appear in her letter without credit to anybody; third, because we do not know or even suspect that they were written by another author, or could have been"
