Secret Service Men.

Secret Service Men.
San Francisco, June 25.--The gov
ernment OF the Netherlands appreciates
the services that George W. Hazen of
the secret service department rendered
that country last October. AS an earn
est of that appreciation, 1t has pre-
sented the officer with a handsome
watch properly egrossed. Early last
year word was flashed all over the
world that trusted official of the
Netherlands government, stationed at
Batavia, Dutch India, had absconded
with funds to the amount Of $4,000.
In the course Of time the information
reached the chief of the secret service
on the Pacific coast, and watch was
set for the fugitive.
Early in September man named
J. T. Lee, who arrived from Yokohama.

not being correct. While he was wait
ing to be sent back to the orient
Agent Hazen learned from him that
Lee had met H. w. Johannes, the man
wanted by the Netherlands government
in Yokohama, and had arranged to
meet him in New York in October.
When the Nippon Maru arrived here

One of the most annoying practices that is now
permitted is steamboat whistling There is no more
reason for this practice than for departing trains to
blow shrll blasts 1t is merely form Of advertising
that should be prohibited This is not to say that the
whistles of steamers should never be blown, but
rather that the arrival and departure of boats from
their docks should not be the signal for earsptting
blasts Of from 20 seconds to two minutes duration
so bne depends upon the clang Of the bell Of train
fo warning that the train is about to pull out of its
depot Then why should boats screech out their
warning at the expense of the sense Of hearing of
those within a radiusiof six or eight bocks9 The
steamboat master whose hand is constantly on the
whistle cord like the knave who throws water-soaked
snow Balls and the criminal who hurs frecrackers,
bombs, torpedoes and other death-dealing instru
ms9ts at tleqnslspecting persons, ought to be con-

NOTES ABOUT WOMEN.

Colorado and Wyoming have women
filling the office of state superintendent
of public instruction.
In Boston, where women vote on
school questions, there is seat for every
child and full time instruction.
Colorado has elected ten women to
her state legislature since 1896. Idaho
has had three women in the house of rep
resentatives, and Utah one woman in
the senate and three in the house.
When a member of the Colorado legis-
lature, Miss Evangeline Hearth secured
the passage of the Frog Blocking Bill"
for the protection of railroad employees.
For this she was rewarded with card
engrossed with ''The Thanks Of 5000
Railroad Men,"
Miss Ella Meredith, Of Colorado, in re-
ply to the question whether women in
her state neglected their homes to seek
for political Offices, said: ''They do not
any more than they neglect their homes
to seek Office in club or church societies.
Sometimes they take Office to earn bread
for those dependent upon them. More
women neglect their homes and children
to play cards and attend social func.
tons than to do political work"
