Doing Without Servants.

This servant problem may solve
itself. 1t may prove in the solving
fine thing for the American woman
and the American home.
AT any rate. these are the indica-
tions from recent meeting of one
OF Mr.. Cleveland's despfsed women's S
clubs The ladies came together in
one of Washington's suburbs. After
the usual prelfminaries, they took a
vote on the winters experience with
servants, and discovered that six of
the eleven who were present had vol
unfairly done without servants rather
than wrestle with them.
Their plan was to be their own
housemaids, except for what was call
ed heavy cleaning" For that. they
employed a negro woman one day
in the week. And, according to their
testimony TO the sisters present, they
found the added freedom of their
houses, the lift of continuous worry
from their minds, and (it was their in
variable opinion) the increased clean
illness Of their establishments worth
more than twice the labor involved
in doing without servants.
Hard experience drove these women
TO this course in the first place, but
preference keeps them in 1t. If their
conclusions are based on fact and
not fancy. it is certain they are merely
the forerunners of a great and gen
eral movement If many women fol-
low their example the demand for
servants will be much less than the
supply; and when that time comes the
chief demerit ef the modern servant
her amazing independence of her duty
will be much less in evidence.
The greatest good in such a move
ment. however, lies in the effect on
the housekeepers themselves. No
! one of these six women had a large
household. The work they have un-
dertaken is light. And, having under
taken to do it themselves, they have
not only rid their homes of disturbing
outsiders, but developed a sense of
selI-reliance worth more than all the
good service In the world.

OPPOSES RELIGION
IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS
Brookland Citizens Association Protests
strenuousIy-Denuneiatory Reso-
Iutions Adopted.

Strenuous protest was made by nera-
bers Of the Brookland Citizens Asao~
! ciation last night against the plan To
introduce religious training in public
schools. Discussion on this subject
took up almost all the time OF the May
meeting.
Brief remarks only were made regard
ing the grading Of the Bunker Hill
Road. SO as to run it under the railroad
tracks. Paving and lighting of streets
was only mentioned
President Kfnnan called upon DR. III.
J. Holmes for his report as chairman OF
the committee on schools. and the chair
man forthwith introduced a set Of res
oiutions protesting against the adop-
ton Of the plan. In a second several
members were on their feet. all eager
to be heard at the same moment The
citizens waxed warm In the discussion
which was continued until adjournment.
A. f. Wright said he believed it
would be a difficult thing TO tell where
the religious instruction system would
end. if IT once got a start in the public
schools. H. NJ. Mclean was of the
opinion that moral training IN school
would be good thing. but ne IS op
posed to anything that approaches sec.
tar.an:snl.
Another member who addressed the
meeting said he thought school teachers
were already usurping enough OF the
work OF parents as regards moral and
religious training
With single dissenting vote. the res
olutions crying down religious trssining
in the public schools, were passed
President Kinnan and Secretary Ford
will present the resolution to the Com
missioners and the Board of Education

upon the question of the compromise at this time, but Andrews Pattee, the attorneys for Johns, declare that the decision in reference to the option it. self practically disposes of the entire matter. Beemer, of course. has the right to take an appeal, and it is pos sible that he will do so, as he has al ready made preparations to open and develop the mine upon which $4OO,O0C worth of work and surface improve ments have been made.
 Johns also has a company organized to take over the property, and has been awaiting judicial determination of the controversy in order to enable him to complete his negotiations. He re- gently paid 5000 to the trustee as re. quired by the terms under which the option was granted.

 John BrOckman and a number of associates came in from Los An geles yesterday, and departed in the af- ternoon to the Pilgrim mines.

 It is rumored that Thomas McMahon and Will Clack have struck fine body of ore in the Prince George mine, at Stockton Hill.

JOHNS OPTION ON PLANET SA-
 TURN AFFIRMED.
(From Sundays Daily.)

By reason of the decision given yes terday morning by Judge Sloan, up holding the action made by the Ref cree in Bankruptcy T. c. Job in giving A A. Johns an option on the Planet Saturn mine, a victory is claimed by Johns in his litigation with R. H. Beemer in connection with the property.
 Beemer recently obtained a compro- mise in bankruptcy from the creditors, and it was his contention that this in effect nullifed the option on the mine previously obtained from the referee. When the case came into court, AttOr- new Clark, representing Beemer, argued that the option had been given with out consideration, and was therefore void, and that the proceedings were ir- regular.
 Yesterday. Judge Sloan notified the attorneys on both sides to be present in the courtroom, when he announced that the option had been given by Referee Job in a regular manner, and that by reason of this option, Johns had &C., quired vested interest in the property. The court stated that it would not pass

SHOT AND KILLED
 IN COLD BLOOD
James White, of Prescott, Brutally Murdered Forty Miles North
 Of Tucson

Brutally murdered in cold blood was the tragic fate of James F. White of Prescott on Monday night, about forty miles from Tucson.
 The intelligence reached Prescott yesterday about noon in a message to the young man $ sister, who is attend ing school with her three sisters, at the St. Joseph's Academy. The message she received was vague, and simply stated that he had been shot. Tele- gams were sent to Tucson to obtain fur ther particulars, but none were forth coming. As the tragedy occurred at the Imperial Copper Camp, it was evi- dent that owing to the distance from Tucson the details of the sad affair were not known there.
 It then fell to the Journal Miner to obtain the particulars. Telegrams were sent to its correspondent at Tucson to spare no expense in tracing up the af- fair, and as result the following dis patch was received here about mid night:

on murder, and it will be a source of deep regret to friends of the family to learn of his untimely fate. James White was only 9 years old, and was the son of Mrs. Mary White, of Minnehaha. She did not know of her son s death until telephone from the Journal-Miner conveyed the sad news yesterday afternoon. One of her daughters left yesterday on horseback as rapidly as her steed could carry her to break the news to her mother. An other sister is in Phoenix, having gone down on the excursion train Monday, and remained there. Every effort was made to reach her yesterday afternoon by telephone, but the parties in the office at that end of the line were un- able to locate her.
 Young White left home about a year ago to try his fortune, and no word was heard from him until two weeks ago, when his mother received a letter from him. It was most welcome as it was feared that some untoward fate had be- fallen him.
 Now comes the sad news that he has met his death at the hands of an assas- sin.
