NEH roRK,s CHEAT pAE.

There have been some warm and in- terestfng days and nights in New York city lately, and the climax will come to-day and tonight. Not often has a campaign come to an end in New York with the issue so much in doubt. The wise men are wary about making predictions, and the others are making all kinds. Pay your money and take your choice, OF wait calmly and un- bettingly until the votes are counted.
 Perhaps what ought to happen to the great city is the election of Twins and Jerome, and what most people seem to think will happen is the election of Me- Clellan and Jerome, though of course nobody can tell what the effect of the Hearst campaign has been. If Hearst should be elected there would be a large surprise and small scare but whoever is elected New York will not be ruined and may not be entirely saved It is a great city. It has stood much, and can stand more. But it would be encouraging if to-day's voting should result in giving the metropolis even a little better govern ment than it has had.

may be because the negro is not a New Yorker, but southerner. The pleas and voice and courteous ways of his old home remain with him. Neighbors who are friendly with them say that the children are usually well behaved. T am always glad to do anything for a colored child" a German woman said, ''ft is so grateful. Negro child ren are often truants, perhaps because they do not have the same regular home care that is given to most of the children of the tenements."
 In their manner of living the negroes exhibit the same characteristics as in their manners.
 When breakfast or dinner comes on you will almost always find the table SCI" says Miss Ovington, The tene- ment meal, eaten out of a paper bag without the setting of the table or the gathering together of the family, is un- usual in the colored district. In the most modest homes a meal carries with it the air of a social function; the mother uses many dishes, though she must take the time from her laundry to wash them.
 Another important aspect of the ne gro home," says Miss Ovington, lis the presence of the mother as a wage earn CT. Sometimes the woman of the house. hold earns more money than the man; often she earns as much. Her most prolific employment is domestic service, but this takes her away from her home for eight or ten, even for fourteen hours of the day. Many mother, feeling that she cannot leave her child ren for the most of their waking hours, engages in the chief home industry of the colored woman, washing. This turns her home into a workshop and makes her few rooms hotter, more clutrered, more unhealthful There is no space for the little children to play and they are taught when very young to be of help. The work is unendingly weary ing. lasting often into the night, and it results in a smaller wage than can be obtained with less expenditure of time in workshop.
 The colored lnan who work on the At"AiA'eh0 eblid c1t ItiC DbetLS, Dl " 4lu 6O as walters to the large hotels, are ab- sent from their families for much of the year. They have little part in the care and rearing of their children. Others, such as the night watchmen and hotel men, have some of their leisure in the daytime and can give more attention to their children than is possible with many fathers. Parental feeling is often strong among the negro men and 1t is not difficult to find Dunbars father holding his little brown baby wifi sparklin' eyes
 In conclusion Miss Ovington says that the best class of negro homes,\ which she takes as the measure of the area. is interesting and is an honor to the Commonwealth.

4 NOBLE AND USEFUL CAREER.

A prominent worker for women has passed away in the person of Miss Emilea Jessie Boucherett, who died re- gently at her home in Lincolnshire
 England. She was eighty years old. and for more than fifty years had been closely identified with every movement connected with women's work and the improvement of their legal position. She was one of the earliest promoters of the woman suffrage movement. and strong supporter of the agitation which led to the passing of the Married Wom- ems Property act. In early youth she became interested in the effort then being made to provide varied, profita- ble and well-paid employment for edu- cated women. She went to London. made the acquaintance of persons in- terested in the subject, and in actual partnership with Miss Adelaide Proc- tor and Miss Leigh Smith (Mme Bodi- chen) founded the Society for Promot- ing the Employment of Women, which still carries on it's beneficent work In 1865 John Stuart Mill entered Parlia~ ment, and in his election address brought up the question of woman suf- frage. At once small committee of ladies was formed to promote it, and Miss Boucherett helped to organize the first petition sent up to Parliament, which had among other signatories Frances Power Cobbe, Harriet Mar tineau, Mary somerville, Miss Garrett

AMERICAS FIRST STAGE COACH.
 AS public conveyances, or the stage coach, had been in vogue in England since 1910, the establishment of a simi- lar convenience was demanded in America many years before the war for independence. As early as 1744, therefore, a stage line started to run between New Brunswick and Trenton, N. J., and, by 1756. this route had been extended over from New York to Phil- adelphia. Moreover, as in England. 50 in Ameriea--the advent of the stage coach necessitated marked improve ments in the highways, while the building Of better roads and turnpikes naturally created greater dernnd for more coaches, and, what was more to the purpose, lighter vehicles. Tn 1771 there were but tliirty-eight conveyan- ces of every description in the city of Philadelphia, but, by 17S4, their num- Der had increased to eight hundred and twenty -seVen-more than two- thirds of which were comparatively

HIS OPINION CHANGED.
Kindness to Animals Sometimes Mis-

Kindness to Animals Sometimes Mis-
 taken.
 Love of animals, no matter how great, cannot stand against the stub bornness of a balky horse. The cream of the milk of human kindness curdles when confronted: with the stolid im- penetrability to arguments of horse planted alniost iinmovably in the mid dle of the road To this Tompkins is a ready witness. t
 All his life TOmpkins had been a friend of the oppressed in the animal world. He had kept cats and dogs as pets, so knew the salient points in their natures; but being city man his experiences with horses had been most ly confined to watching his friends drive smart outfits. He was an active lay worker of the Amalgated Associa- tion for the Relief of Downtrodden Cart Horses though, and on one or two occasions had appeared in court to press charges against truckmen who persisted in beating overladen teams, despite his rernonstrances
 A short toime ago Tompkins went to visit a friend who was rusticating on 8 small farm in interior New England. The place was five miles from the near ditions of work have even got upon the nerves of men who have served on mining staffs in wilder countries than South Africa. The railway points have been deliberately altered on several oc- casions; small accidents have resulted, and big ones been averted by chance. Indeed, I think it fair to say that John Chinaman has no moral sense at all as we Westerners see things, and he would not finch from any action, how ever monstrous. He can work we'll when he likes, and is not too well treat ed by his overseers. Sometimes he seeks revenge. We had the whole camp out one night because we interfered to prevent an unpopular overseer from be- ing roasted alive.
 The Chinaman as have met him on the Rand is not on speaking terms with honesty. You can leave nothing within his reach. He is as susceptible to bright colors as magpie, and when once g. thing has disappeared it will never come back.--A Mining Engineer in the Illustrated London News.

cowGIR1s CHALLENGE cow

5Olp.
 Consternation has been created among the cowboys of the Rocky Mountain region who have entered or are blaming to participate in the championship rough riding contest during the great frontier celebration in Cheyenne on September 2, f and ,. by the announcement made by Miss Ber- tha Kaepernick, of Sterling, Col, who has calmly entered the great bucking and pitching event as if this was an act of no particular importance. For the first time in history of frontier events, this year the fair and charm ing cowgirls will meet in open com petition for the title of the champion rough rider of the world the intrepid knights of the plain, who have hereto fore had only male opponents. The frontier committee announces that -four, and probably more, women will enter the lists this year, and that the first to pay her entry fee is Miss Der .tha Kaepernick, the dashing and ac- complished Colorado cowgirl. Mrs. Harry Brennan, of Sheridan, wife of the champion rough rider of the world, has also signified her intention of en- tering, and the novel sight will be witnessed of a man and his wife com peting for the title of the worlds best rider. Two northern Colorado girls also indicate their desire to enter, and it is expected the initiative taken by Miss Kaepernick will be followed by others.
 Miss Kaepernick was a frontier visi- tor last year, and during the celebra- tion, in response to challenge joking iy made by one of her friends, mounted and broke an outlaw horse, to the in- tense delight of twenty thousand peO- pie gathered at Frontier Park. This year her riding will not be in the form of an exhibition, but as contestant for world championship honors. Miss Kaepernick was born and reared in Colorado and resides with her father on his ranch near Sterling. From earliest Infancy she has ridden horses, until the breaking of an untamed steed is an incident and not a feat. She rides the range like cowboy, as- sists in the branding of livestock and break of all of the horses on her fa- ther's ranch.-Cheyenne (Wyo) letter in Denver Times.

ONE MORE LESSON.

How long is it going to be before 'men learn that wives have a right to pick their husbands pockets? Every once in while slow, muddled man gets notion that such is not the case, and then he sometimes gets what he de- serves, as the man did who appeared in Judge Roses court in Alton, Illinois, the other day. Judge Rose said that a wife has the right to pick her husbands pockets while he sleeps, or at any other time, to get money for household ex- penses, and that such removal of coin does not constitute an excuse for man to abandon his family. To Ernest Bur ton, who advanced the fact that a dime had been thus removed from his cloth ing as his reason for fcTsaking his domicile, Judge Rose said: Any man who purposely or through negligence compels his wife to ask him continually for money to pay for household neces- sites is unworthy to have a wife. It is the extravaganza of men that dou- bles the cares and burdens of wives. You are committed to jail You should be in the penitentiary."
 True words, fitly spoken. No man should compel his wife to ask him for money, and when she does ask him without eompulsion he should fork over fully and at once.

HOME OF THE NEGRO.
Hospitality and Sweet Family Life
 Characteristic.

Characteristic.
 The negro home, of which Mary White Ovington writes in a recent number of Charities" is a subject as unknown to most of those who will read the article as the homes of the Esquimaus, while the picture presented accords little with popular ideas on that subject. Of the better class of colored people Miss Ovington says: Their family life is harmonious and sweet. The young women are perhaps brought up in more sheltered fashion than those of the white race. Very much emphasis is laid upon education, both for the boy and for the girl. The music-foving character of the race is shown in these homes, as indeed it is in all colored households; but here we have much ability, for there are among the race in New York music ians of no mean gifts. These homes are too little known among the people of the city,

 ''The negro f1ome," she says, lis gen. erous and hospitable. Pushed aside by the rest of the community these folk gather the more closely together, and while this carries with it the cliques and gossipings of village life, it also strengthens and develops a willingness to help those who are in need. Consid- ering his poverty very little relief is given to the negro in New York. This is partly because he does not under stand how to use the charity that in- stftutions for relief provide, but it is also because he cares for his own. The colored churches do much for their poor, and nearly all the colored people belong to sick benefit societies, but their frequent kindnesses one to another are their most constant charity. They adopt the child that has been deserted, and they feed the next-door neighbor though they have little themselves. Their hospitality is sometimes almost too overfiowing. Five frens jus come up f'om de Souf," one woman said to me in excusing the disorderly appearance of her five rooms. Her regular family consisted of nine.

4 SERIOUS GERMAN NATTER.

The Germans in Germany are pretty serious people and perhaps German children feel the weight of their sur roundings. During the past eighteen years 747 suicides of children have been reported, but the annual propor- ton has been rapidly growing. For example, in 1902 seven eases of child suicide occurred in Saxony, but in 1903 the number of persons under fourteen years of age who killed themselves had risen to twenty-one. The suicides of adults during the same period in- creased only from 1888 to 1,427. Vari- ous suppositions have been advanced to account for this morbid tendency among the young. The socialists con- slider it the result of the generally in- creased difficulty in making a liveli- hood which darkens the lives of cfil- dren as well as those of their parents. The clergy maintain that the growth of irreligion is to blame, and that a revival of spiritual aims would be fol- lowed by greater serenity and love of life. Finally, critics of the school sys- tenn assert that the children are forced too much, that they are compelled to attempt work which is impossible for those whose capacity is at all below the average, and that the fear of pun ishment and of falling behind their comrades urges the less intelligent to seek relief in self-destruction.
 It is a sad state of things, whatever the cause or causes. Children ought not to feel like taking themselves out Of the world before they have tried it.
