GOOD WORDS
Yeldtz Paper Pays Tribute
 to Gov. Swipford
(Valdez News

(Valdez News
 Ex-Governor Swinford has retired from the Alaska journalistic field hay. ing sold his paper, the Ketchikan Journal to Wyatt and Coutant, of Juneau. The retirement of Gov. Swine ford from active newspaper work is a distinct loss to the profession and to Alaska. Probably DO single individual in the district has exerted a greater effort to right AlsSka's wrongs or to bring the country to the front than the ex-governor. Both by word ot the mouth and with his tacile pen has he fearlessly declared his opinions and beliets, and that they were wise ones even those who were opposed to his views are now forced to admit, While his advancing years have made it sd' visable for him to give up active news paper work it is to be hoped that more of his writings will appear in print from time to tune.

Oystermen FOrm TheIr OrganizatiOn.

Before the next Maryland Legislature meets
at Annapolis in January. the oystermen and
their friends expect to have one ofthe strong
est trade organizations in the State.
William I. Giles, secretary and counselor,
OF the Oystermens Protective Association,
has succeeded in organizing a number of
branch associations within the last six weeks.
The objects OF the association are to protect
the interests of those engaged in the oyster
industry,and to secure the better enforcement
OF oyster laws.
On the third Wednesday in November a
State Convention will be held in Baltimore,
and plans formulated to carry out the objects
OF the Oystermen's Association. 1t is under
stood that every effort will be put forth to de-
feat the passage Of the Haman Oyster Bill,
when It again comes before the Legislature.
The object of the bill is to have the state lea Q
the barren bottoms Ofthe Chesapeake bay for
oyster culture. Although there are prOvis-
ions in the bill to guarS against rich people
getting control OF the entire business, oyster
men say that It will be the ultimate result II
the Haman bill becomes a law.

slxty-two New Cases and Six More
Deaths In New Orleans.
New Orleans. Aug. 16.-Omcial re-
port Of the yellow fever up to last
night: New cases, 81; total to date,
1880; deaths, 6; total to date, 172;
new disease centers, 10; total to date,
229.
The arrival of DR.. John Guiteras, the
Cuban yellow fever expert, and his
tour of the seat of worst infection,
was the most interesting feature Of
the yellow fever situation.
The situation again shows an i'm
provement, both as to new cases and
deaths, considering the totals Of last
week, and while the marine hospital
officials are unwilling to be quoted
now, they are known to entertain most
hopeful views. The results achieved
to date have met their expectations.
Encouragement is especially found in
the reduction of new fever centers.
Many of the new disease centers Of
three weeks ago are considered to
have disappeared, no new infection ap-
pearing in their neighborhoOd.

WOMAN TO RULE
IN INDUSTRIALISM
Man Will be a Back Number and Re-
turn to the Soil
AGE OF ETERNAL FEMININE"
~.

]
Detroit, Mich, Aug. 16.-The annual
convention of the International Asso-
citation of Factory Inspectors opened
here. President Edgar T, Davies, Of
Chicago. is presiding over the sessions,
which are held in the county super
visors' hall. About $50 delegates are
present. Al the opening session papers
were read by w. L. Bodine, Of Chicago,
on THE Competitive Life" and by
Mrs. Sarah R. Crowley. deputy inspec-
tor of Illinois. on Our Purpose and
Duty"
The speech of Mr.. Bodine, who is
superintendent Of compulsory educa-
tion at Chicago. created a mild sensa-
tion among the delegates. The speaker
produced federal statistics covering the
past 20 years. showing that the indus
trial competition of women, children
and machine labor was driving the men
out of the large cities to fields of heavy
manual labor in mining and agricul-
ture. He declared that woman was
destined to be the ruling sex in indus
trialism, and continued:
Man. like the Indian, is dying out
and being driven out In 1890 there
were 3.914,571 women who were en-
ployed in gainful occupations in Amer
lea. In 1900 the number had increased
to 5.S29 SO7. The birth rate among the
female occupation is increasing and the
death rate decreasing. 1t is just the re-
verse among the males. We are rapidly
drifting to tine age of the eternal femi-
nine when man will be a back number
and forced to return to the soil and to
those fields of labor where only his
physical endurance will save him in the
for survival"
In discussing the competitive life for
the leadership in society, the speaker
said:
Society is dying out at the top. 1t
is a crystal maze of glass houses, where
no occupant dares cast the first stone;
the dangerous example; the academy of
divorce. Society has mothers who are
slaves to the siren calls of fashion and
frivolity, who look more often into
their mirrors than into the faces of
their children. With a fashionable |
mother gadding about at social func- |
lions and a fashionable father at his |
'lub, the result will be that within a
iecade the question of the neglected |
children of the rich will become as
great a social problem as that Of the
neglected children of the poor"

two local manufacturing concerns $50

BY Desperate, Whom officer Killed.
Ballston. N. Y, Aug. 14.-Rev. Ber-
nard Schultz and his wife, of New
York city, were attacked at Mechan-
icsville and probably fatally injured
by a negro, who was shot and killed in
Saratoga while resisting arrest.
William Curtis, a negro, presented
himself at the door of the rectory and
asked for a drink of water. Mr.
Schultz was in the act of turning back
to get the water, when the negro drew
a piece of lead pipe from beneath his
coat and felled the clergyman with a
terrific blow on the head, following
this up with a rain of blows until his
victim lay unconscious and apparently
dead. Mrs. Schultz, who was upstairs,
hurried down on hearing her husband
fall, and was met in the hall by the
negro, who instantly struck her down
before she could utter an outcry, and
continued beating her with his heavy
weapon until he had inflicted injuries
from which she can hardly recover.
Policeman James Sullivan discov-
cred Curtis in Searings alley, a negro
colony in Saratoga, and arrested him.
The negro. however, broke away and
ran, and after firing one shot in the
air to halt him, Sullivan fired again,
shooting him through the head and
killing him instantly.
