chicago woman as Police sergeant.

A record of ten years On the police
force and twelve years in the public
service as an officer of the city is a
pretty good record for a woman. When
the rank of sergeant is given and the
practical management of the affairs of
the special department Of detective
work to which she is assigned Is turned
over to that woman the mere fact that
she is the only woman in the world
holding such a position becomes but a
small part of the story. The fact that
she does the work SO well Is of far
greater Importance to the student Of
woman in new occupations. In brief,
that is the record and standing Of
Sergeant Mary e. Owens, who is borne
on the rolls Of the Chicago police de-
partment as a sergeant, attached to the
office of the chief detective.
Sergeant Owens has for her special
duty the task Of looking after the tru-
ant children on reports sent in to the
department Of compulsory education of
the Chicago board of education. The
school law requires that children under
IA years Of age shall not work in
stores. factories or other prohibited
places and that they shall attend
school or show a good reason why they
do not. In connection with the en-
forcement Of this law there Is a great
deal of work in keeping track of the
employees of the factories and stores
where children are apt to be sent by
perents for employment or where the
nhi11ran 4hapncaI~oe nrofop RI un rofhou
than attend school. Briefly, the work
of Sergeant Owens Is to keep this sort
Of supervision over such places from
South Chicago to the northern limits
and from Captain Streeter's domain,
where the land begins on the lake
shore, to the western boundaries Of the
city. There are frequently filed CONS
plants of neighbors Dr. rival employer6
which allege that the child labor law il
being violated and that children who
should be in school are employed IN
stores and factories, and these COM
plants are all turned over to her for
investigation and report. Taken alto
gether and considering the territory
which she has to cover, her 1abors are
not light and she probably does more
riding on the street cars than any 9TH
er employee Of the city. The years OF
work in this line has given her a famil-
iarity with the subject of employment
of children and the reasons which im-
pei the parents to violate the law that
is probably not possessed by any other
person in the city. Her acquaintance
with employers has been made as COM
plete as that Of the man who makes
the city directory.-Chicago. Ill. .Chron.

President Roosevelt's policy to have
railroad freight rates fixed and con-
trolled by a government commission is
bringing a union of railroad interests in
opposition. No Populist idea is grow
ing faster than that the government
must control the railroad rates in the
interest of the people or else the COVER
ment must own the railroads. The
people now own the water ways of
commerce and the public roads for
travel. 1t is no more s~ocialistic to own
the iron roads of travel.

While the bloody revolution now in
progress in Russia is to be deplored, yet
every true American will wish for the
overthrow Of the autocratic rule of the
Gar. Our right of free speech, free
press, freedom of religion and the free
right to travel from one part Of the
co untry to the other are denied to the
common people of Russia. These were
w0n for us by our ancestors through
bloody revolution, The common peo-
pie have always had to fight for the
natural rights of man and Russians will
never gain a constitutional government
in any other way than by a great sacri-
fee of lives. Success to the common
people. Down with the Gar, who be-

EFFECTS OF BURNING SUGAR ON
BACTERIA

Harper's Weekly-It was recently
demonstrated before the Society of BIZ
olcgy at Paris that the ancient custom
of burning such substances as sugar,
resin and certain aromatic plants for
fumigaticn and disinfection was of
considerable value, as these materials
gave off yapors with antiseptic prop
critics which made them most useful
germicides This is due to a large
amount of formic ai6ehyde in the va
pors, and it was found that when 2
grams Isl grains) of sugar were
burned in a bell glass of II litres
Q2.6 quarts) capacity, objects infected
witn the bacillus coli, bacillus typho-
sus, the vibrio Of cholera, the bacillus
tuberculosis, and other parthenogenic
germs were destroyed within half an
hour Other more resistant bacteria
required a somewhat longer exposure,
but eventually succumbed.

be ignored entirely by the newspapers,
as some would suggest. 1t properly

Bates college will lose nothing in
popular estimation, we imagine, from
the fact that it has been determined
that hereafter it shall be non-sectarian,
for people are pretty well of the idea
that education is better when it is not
influenced by the narrowness of creed
bound denominationalisIn. And yet
we hardly think that Bates will gain
anything in confidence and apprecia-
ton by the manner and reason OF it's
determination. If it has held so close
ly to its ancient principles in the past
that it has not been able to see the
light of modern liberality of thought,
the fact that little slice Of Carnegie
generosity dangling before it has been
sufficient to pen its eyes is not over
creditaDle to the the college manage
ment. There is an intimation that
still others Of the smaller colleges Of
the country are to throw off their de-
nominational influences in order to get
some Carnegie money, but if it is true,
the confidence which the country has
felt in these institutions will be rather
rudely shaken. Gazette.

MOL A SEA sERPENT.

Portland Oregonian-RUssia, it is
said, intends to rebuild her navy.
What for? The Russian people never
nave been able to do anything on the
sea. The "watery kingdom is not
their kingdom. They are not cat home
on the rolling deep" They have no
capacity for the quick mechanical
adaptation, guided by original intelli-
gence, necessary to success in naval
effort. Any man can be made into a
soldier, because the land is mans
native theater Of action. But at sea
ne is in the presence Of new forces,
wholly strange to him. He has every
thing to learn. The demand is for
science Of which few are capable.
Plenty OF men, who would like to have
commissions in the army, wouldn't
want commissions in the navy, for life
on tne sea demands special prepara-
ton and special skill.
But it is not likely that Russia will
attempt or begin to rebuild her navy
very soon. She will make peace with
Japan, because it is an absolute
necessity. The terms of the peace will
be such as to cut her off virtually from
all the ambitious projects she has been
pursuing on the Pacifs. A navy can
DO her no good at either extremity of
her empire. Russia is q land power,
not a sea power; nor is she likely to
become a sea power, within the pres
ent century, if ever. To look beyond
her own vast territory and out upon
the sea is not her function And be-
sides, the probability is that for long
time to come she will be fully occupied
with the stew" in progress at home.

WHAT WE DO NOT KNOW ABOUT
GAS

1t will be a considerable time, we
sumers up to the IDEA that what they
need is gas of less rather than greater
illuminating power (when burned
without a mantle), but such is the
fact, and the sooner they learn it, the
better off they will be. If the Con
necticut law relative to the quality Of
Illuminating gas were repealed and the
gas companies were allowed to furnish
gas like that used in Berlin, they
would be glad to sell it for fifty or six
ty cents a thousand feet, and the gas
thus supplied would he fully as elf
cient in a gas stove as that for which
we now pay 1 per 1000 feet in Hart
ford. 1t would also give abundant
tie. Mr.. Richards reports that gas is
rapidly supplanting electricity for use
in street lighting, both in Paris and
Berlin, and the explanation OF this is
That the mantle is universally en-
ployed in gas lighting If the American
people were we'll instructed on this
subject they would speedily repeal all
their laws relative to the Illuminating
power of gas, and insist that the COM
panies supply them with gas of lower
jects on which we nave something to
leard from "abroad. Hartford Times,
