NE WSLETS

They say that women's clubs are deep
Beyond all comprehension;
That women take a mental leap,
With brains at a loose tension.
Right straight at knowledge's very hear'
And scatter II TO flinders,
Then coolly land without smart
Surrounded by truths cinders-
But then
DID you ever hear the menf
They say that women almost sink
Beneath the weight OF learning;
When their clubs meet they only think
They'll try TO be discerning.
But founder wildly In the mass
or facts on all known matters.
And though from chaos they may pass
They leave the theme In tatters-
But then
What OF the menf
They say that women lose their heads
When meeting opposition,
With voices high and faces red,
They seem bent on perdition.
They glare about with angry scowls,
When silenced for the minute,
Then argue wild I'm shrillest howls
When told that they're not in II
But then
So do the men.

AMERICAN RULE WORSE
THAN SPANISH TYRANNY
BaptiStS EXcoriate Army in the Bit
tereSt Terms.

SPRINGFIELD. Mass, May 1S.-Reso
lutions bitterly denouncing the Admins
tration's policy and the conduct OF the
American troops in the Philippines, were
adopted last night by the New England
Colonial Baptists' Association, which Is
holding its annual convention in this
city
The resolutions recite that the cruel
ties in the Philippines have put to shame
the deeds of mankind. from the attempt
of the Persians to conquer Greece to the
century of dishonoT in our dealings with
the Indians; that the abuse of women,
the putting to death of priests. the
Turning of villages and towns. the bring
ing about of conditions that have caused
over 100000 people to be starved to
death, and the robbing of churches OF
images, are the deeds of a Buccaneer
Funston and a Butcher Smith
The resolutions also say that there
has been more cruelty. more lives de-
stroyed, more property wantonly wasted
more immortality and drunkenness in the
three years of American occupation than
in the 300 years of Spanish tyranny. This
lack of regard for human life and liberty
is seen in the treatment OF the negro.
The North has been hypnotized by the
South. Our friends, so-called, have join
ed our bitterest enemies"

Unable to Obtain Satisfactory Rates
From the Railroads.

At the last meeting Of the Veteran
Volunteer Firemen's Association 1t was
decided not to attend the Maryland State
freman's convention, TO be held IN Fred
erick in June. The representatives Of
the association have been in consulta-
ton with the railroads, and it has been
impossible to come to a satisfactory
agreement about the rate to Frederick
and the fremen decided, therefore. to
abandon the trip to the State congen-
ton. They are thus prevented from par
ticipating in what has always been to
them an occasion of much pleasure
Upon their former visits to the State
conventions the local company has in
variably made favorable impression.
The Maryland State convention Of
iremen has always been the chief event
in the meetings of the fire departments
of the State. This years convention
viii prove no exception. The associa-
ton of Frederick is making arrange
ments to receive the largest crowd in
the history OF the city and an elaborate
program has been prepared for the en-
tertainment of the visiting organiza-
items.

RAILROADS WIN THE
WAR ON SCALPERS
New Orleans Courts Stop Their
Dealings in Tickets.

Dispatches were received this morning
by local railroad men announcing that
Judge Grossman, of the supreme court OK
Louisiana. sitting at New Orleans, had
granted the injunction asked for by the
railroads restraining the scalpers of the
Crescent City from dealing in the special
rate tickets to the Confederate reunion.
The decision is of national Importance,
as a majority of the railroads and the
American Ticket Brokers' Association or
America were involved in the contest.
The Louisville and Nashville Railroad
first took the matter into the civil dis
trict court and won. Then the national
association of brokers went to the rescue
Of the New Orleans scalpers, appealing
the case TO the higher court, which today
decided in favor of the railroads.
The decision is to be used as prece-
dent by the railroads in their fight to
compel the authorities of Missouri to
prevent the scalpers from dealing in
tickets to and from the st. Louis Expo
sition.
1t was said today that unless the Mis-
souri,, ST. Louis and exposition authori-
ties take action TO prevent ticket scalp
ing the railroads would not grant any
special rates to the big fair.

COMPANIES COMPETE
FOR FERRY SERVICE
Two Concerns in Rivalry for Con-
nection With Alexandria.

Urged on by spirit of keen rivalry
the Washington Steam Ferry Company
and the Washington and Alexandria
Steam Ferry Company, now in the course
of organization have begun a contest for
first place in the re-establishment OF
traffic between the two cities Both con-
Germs viii shortly arrange for the con-
struction of new boats, and the race will
resolve itself into test of rapid ship
building.
The destruction of the Columbia, be-
longing to the former company, last
"Wednesday night, has seriously hamper
ed ferry service on the Potomac, and at
first the opinion was general that many
months would elapse before traffic could
be reopened. But in view OF the COM
petition the delay viii not be SO great,
and the public Will receive the benefit OF
spirited rivalry.
Already the Columbia has been TEN
porarily replaced with another boat.
This steamer makes two trips q
day, and has thus prevented com
plete tie-up of ferry communication.

treasurer, will go to Baltimore in regard
to the buying of new steamers. Negotia-

seen of him by the hotel employees until
his IifeIess body was found in the morn

tanic Garden. This clue was investi-
gated by Coroner hewitt. and a girl

HIGH SCHOOL CADETS
TO DRILL FOR TROPHY
Annual Competition to Be Held
May 10, 20, and 3.

The annual competitive drill of the
take place at the American League base>
ball park tomorrow, Wednesday and Sat-
urday. The companies Of the first bat
TALON will drill tomorrow: those OF the
second battalion Wednesday, and the
negro cadets Will compete Saturday.
a great deal of interest has been man
ifested in this drill. Although there are
always crowds of classmates and friends
OF the cadets at the drills every year,
there are indications that the seating
and standing capacities of the ball park
Will be taxed on the days the first two
battalions drill
Those who should know say there is
nothing to the drill but Company B. OF
Central High School, under command Of
Captain Scudder. and Company H. OF
Western, commanded by the popular
Captain Stokes. 4 finer line is drawn
by those possessing inside information.
They say Western is almost sure to
carry off the much coveted flag for ex-
ceIlent drilling.
Company F. of Eastern, which carried
off the honors last year, is said TO be
entirely out of the running because the
f,illing is not up to last years standard.
Business has a two-year company, which
is not the best in the regiment by any
means because the boys pay more atten-
ton to their studies than to drilling
Techincars company has not mastered
the technical points of competitive drill
ing, and If the boys of that school have
look at the prize when it is presented
to the winning company, that will be
the nearest they will ever get to the
trophy.
With Eastern and Technical practi-
cally out of the running, 1T naturally
lies between Western and Central. Cen
trail has two companies. but Company L
stands best The Westerners have high
hopes of carrying off the prize, and Cap
| tain Stokes is TO be commended for nav
| ing such a well-drilled and capable
squad of cadets.
The judges OF the drill are Capt. j. )
| Heron, Second Cavalry, chairman;
Lieut.. H. B. Ferguson. Engineer Corps
and Lieut.. c. G. Harvey, Second Cavalry
