SENATORS THROWN
FROM SPEEDING AUTOCAR
Bailey of Texas and Tillman Of South
Carolina Slightly Injured in
Collision.

ST. LOUIS. July 11.-Senator Benjamin
r. Tnlman of South Carolina and Sen
ator Joseph w. Bailey OF Texas had
narrow escape from death at Jefferson
Avenue and Chestnut Boulevard yester-
day afternoon, when an automobile N
which they were riding was wrecked IN
a collision with a jefferson Avenue car.
Senators Tillman and Bailey were
thrown TO the pavement. Mr. Tillman
ankle was Injured. and Mr.. Bailey was
bruised about the body. Neither was
seriously hurt. however. and they board

The Senators had been at the Worlds

married women now than there ever
were. The only difference in the sit
uatiOn lies in the fact that some OF
these women are earning respectable
salaries for themselves instead of be-
ing supported by male relatives. In
stead of being teachers in ladies'
boarding schools they are professors
in women's colleges; instead of sew
ing or keeping boarders they are in
business houses.
It may be that some women who
would have married in order to es-
cape from a position of CALLING de-
pendence, are still unmarried, because
they can secure independence for
themselves; but if any man thinks he
would like to have a wife who mar
ried him simply to get out of home
where she was not wanted, let him
speak up.
The reasons why unmarried women
have remained unmarried are as
various as the characters of the
women themselves, and it is not
necessary, nor would it be easy, to
get at these reasons and tabulate
them. The world can get along very
well so long as marriage is not alb
solutely prohibited.

The Bachelor Maid Question.

The Independent" recently pub
lished two essays on the subject OF
bachelor maids" one by an unmar-
ried young woman professor in some
college, and the other by Marion
Harland." The former accounted for
her unmarried state by several rather
trite allegations as 10 the brutality Of
men, the delights of independence.
the wish to fulfill ambitions, etc, and
the latter wrote an alleged answer to
the paper, consisting of several ex-
tracts and a few rambling observa-
lions on the ignorance of the writer
and the falsity Of her allegations.
Neither paper came within a mile of
solving the question about which so
many people seem TO be worried now
adays, as 10 the reason why there
are so many unmarried women in
paying professions.
The truth Of the matter probably is
that there are not many more IN

MONDAY. JULY II. 1904.
Judge PaTkeT'S Action.

There Is little doubt that Judge
Parker's dramatic telegram in the
waning hours of the Democratic con-
Yention, declaring that he was for the
gold standard and offering the con-
vention the chance 20 choose another
candidate if this fact was displeasing
to the delegates, greatly strengthened
him in the eyes of the general public
and put his party in position to
make an effective campaign.
After the extraordinary fizzle which
the convention made of its platform,
The Times said:
The salvation OF the party, as far as the COM
ing election is concerned, now lies with Judge
Parker. II is assumed that he VIII shortly
break his silence. If he breaks it with a clear
declaration Of his convictions on points, upon
which the Democracy as a whole, according TO
It's official utterance, has no convictions, If he
supplies the deficiency in the platform by pac-
ing himself squarely where the party should be
on the money question, he may yet become a
factor in The campaign.
That Judge Parker manfuIly met
In finally breaking his silence the
judge acted without precedent and
possibly without advice, and the I'M
conventional is usually courageous.
Not only did he compel his party
to define its position, unoficially but
nevertheless definitely, but he gained
his own freedom from the incubus of
David B. Hill, whose attitude through
out the convention showed not only
a lack of moral courage, but a lack
Of sound political sense as well.
Without doubt Judge Parker today
sees that had he broken away from
Hill before he did, and frankly de-
clared his views before the conven-
ton met, he would have been, saved
the unpleasant necessity of calling
his party TO order after it had con-
ferred upon him the highest honor
that it could. One may honestly praise
Judge Parker for his courage, but one
cannot forget that it was the judges
ill-advised silence which put him in a
hole from which he could only extri-
cate himself by an extraordinary act.
The American public is now con-
fronted with a curious condition of
affairs. Two men have been nOmi-
mated for the Presidency of the United
States, and neither of them stands
upon a platform which really repre-
sents him. Theodore Roosevelt,
frank, direct. straightforward, can in
no wise be likened to the oddly impo-
tent Republican platform. Judge
Parker, representative of the safe
and sane" Democracy, has specifically
denied that the Democratic platform
adequately represents him.
This means, Of course. that the
campaign will fundamentally be one
not Of principle, but Of men, and that
the people will choose the man whom
they feel that they can trust rather
than the party which stands for the
highest principle This is a condition
TO be regretted, for principle is al
ways bigger than men, and men
amount to little unless governed by.
principle.

GRADUATED Cork.

ReinspectiOn of the steamboats,
that do business in New York Harbor
began last week, in pursuance of an
order issued by Mr.. Cortelyou before
| he resigned as Secretary of Commerce
and Labor. The denomination of Ger
titled vessels was conducted in its
! early stages with a thoroughness
most gratifying. The good work. con-
tinued through the entire feet of yes
sells, will work a miracle of reform in
New York Harbor vessels. Pursued
with equal vigilance throughout the
country it will prove that even a poor
law can be made a good law when
keen public sentiment demands hon
est service from public officials.
The work at New York has been
done thus far by inspectors from New
Orleans. Mobile. and Wheeling, W.
Va. The first vessel examined was
the Cepheus, an excursion boat be-
! longing to the Iron Steamboat Com
pany. She was found in excellent con-
ditiOn in every way. When the Cetus,
belonging to the same company, was
next gone over, a less satisfactory
condition of affairs was discovered.
Two Of the hose pipes, supposed to
stand 100 pounds pressure, burst at
ninety-hve pounds pressure, one Of
them knocking down and injuring the
inspector. The vessel carried l ,825 life
preservers. From seventy to eighty
of the 600 examined the first day
were thrown out on account Of rot
ten canvas or straps. To test the life
preservers, the night Waterman
jumped overheard. As he struck the
water, some of the cork in the granu-
later cork preserver which he wore
fioated away from a rent in the can
vas, though the preserver continued
10 buoy him up. Next he tried a
solid cork preserver, and this work
ed perfectly.
This experience with the granu-
lated cork life preservers, together
with the melancholy fact that bodies
were found after the General SlOcum
disaster which had apparently been
dragged down rather than buoyed up
by graduated cork preservers, would
indicate that-though possibly just as
effective when new as the solid cork
article-the granulated cork preser-
yer deteriorates so rapidly that its
use is inadvisable. if not absolutely
dangerous.
Doubtless, If every annual steam
boat inspection were as severe as the
inspection now going on in New York
HarbOr, graduated cork would be
good enough. But it is probable even
then that steamboat owners would
find it cheaper in the end to buy the
more expensive but more durable
solid cork. The danger comes in
coupling the granulated cork life pre-
server with lax inspection. Would
it not be advisable TO guard against
a repetition Of that possibility by le-
galiy condemning graduated cork?

MANY GAVE JEWELS TO

Holiness Camp Meeting in Massachu-

Frenzy.

ATTLEBORO, Mass, July u--Reli-
gious frenzy characterized the closing
sessions OF a holiness camp meeting at
HebronviIle today. The afternoon and
evening meetings were addressed by Ed
ward a. Ferguson. an evangelist, and
he painted such weird picture OF the
sins of his auditors, Of the terrible flu
ture which will be theirs If they do not
give up their worldly ways, their gold
and diamond baubles, that his words
were taken literally by many present.
Women removed their watches and
their rings, sobbing as they did so: cry

Henry 6. Davis.

Some few years ago ex-senator
Henry G. Davis of West Virginia, the
Democratic nominee for Vice Presi-
dent Of the United States, gave 4
dinner in Washington, and every
guest at that dinner was the presi-
dent of a railroad.
Although eighty-One years old, Mr.
Davis is still hale and hearty. He is
a self-made man. He began life as a
farm hand and then he became a
freight brakeman on the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad. At present he
owns more of the State of West Vir-
ginia than any other one man. Rail-
roads, coal mines, oil, and natural
gas wells are numbered among his
possessions.
This is the man who now stands
before the public upon a platform
which declares:
We recognize that the gigantic trusts and
combinations designed 70 enable capital to
secure more than its just share OF the joint
products OF capital and labor, and which have
been fostered and promoted under the Repub-
hcan rule, are a menace 20 beneficial COM
petition and obstacle to permanent business
prosperity. private monopoly is indie
feasible and intolerdble.
Ex-senator Davis will prove
strong financial bulwark for the
Democratic party during the cam
paign, and his nomination practically
assures the States of West Virginia
and Maryland to the Democracy.

Betting and Business.

Some Of the big department stores
in New York have given notice TO
their employees that betting on the
races is equivalent to resigning ones
position. They will not allow solicit
tors to come into the stores. and dis
courage gambling in every possible
way.
The class Of men usually employed
by the business houses in question
are not of the sort addicted 10 gam
bling in any form. They are. as a
rule, steady. cautious, prudent men,
who in another age would be in some
small business on their own account.
II has not been, therefore, a difficult
task TO keep them out Of the clutches
Of the pOolrOom men. The tendency
TO insist on this restriction seems to
be growing. and it nay not be long
before every business house of reputa-
ton will require its employees to re-
frain from gambling in any form.
The reason for such a restriction
can easily be seen. The confirmed
gambler is a plunger. and likely to be
so hard up for money that he will
take what is not his own, hoping 10

Of the business men who have figured

II is not necessary TO affirm that
every man who CANDLES is a thief, or
would be in favoring circumstances.
But a clerk in a business house. on a

The mathematical expert who signs
himself Metric has so definitely
solved the problem that ne finds The
hunter went half way round the SPUR
rel twice, but that twice one-hali
doesn't mean once round in this in
stance.
To the Squirrel Editor of The Times:
My answer to your proposition Is a
little out of the ordinary, but never
theless ! would wager II Is correct
The hunter goes one-half the way
around the squirrel and cannot g
any farther. In going around the
tree he repeats this (going one
half the way around the SQUIRREL
twice, but he cannot be said to have
encompassed the squirrel.
Proof: Draw a line through the
center of the tree and the starting
points of the man and the squirrel
tA-B). Now, as long as the SPUR
rel keeps on one side OF this line
the hunter can pass around him.
Let the hunter go half way around
the tree (to b, and the squirrel has
not yet passed over this line. Now
If the hunter continued and the
squirrel stopped the man could COM
plete the surrounding o. the squir-
rel In the next half Of his journey.
but the squirrel does not stop and
thus the hunter IS enabled 10 get
only half the way around him (the
squirreD. When the man continues
his journey from the point where
he has semi-circumscribed the squir-
rel) he puts the squirrel on the
other side of the line abb. and no
longer has he a chance TO complete
the circuit he commenced Thus he
starts again under the same condi-
tons as he did at the beginning.
and at the finish has again semi
circumscrfbed the squirrel.
In neither case did he finish the
circuit he commenced upon. for In
each case he started a new circuit
when the squirrel crossed the line.
Thus in his journey around the tree
the hunter twice made the first half
of a circuit around the squirrel. but
IN neither case did he complete IL
(the circuit, and he cannot be said
TO have entirely encOmpassed the
squirrel.
He twice passed half way around
the squirrel. but he did not pass
completely around the squirrel.
