ter you are. you would be ashamed of
her. Make up your mind tonight to
be as pure as your sister or mother.
'Wherewithall shall young man
cleanse his way; by taking heed there
to according to the word Come to
the word Of God. 1t will teach you how
and you will not have to give anything
up, but as your heart is cleansed those
things will give you UP instinctively.
She that liveth in pleasure is dead
while she liveth.' Young women are
generally pure, and moral and good,
but if they are not Christians they are
leading butterfly lives. 1t is not in
tended that we should not be happy.
Some people say that Jesus never
smiled What an utter absurdity Jesus
had not only the most benign, but the
happiest face ever seen on earth. God
designed that we should be happy.
How shall we be happy? I commend
to you the words Of the greatest wo.
man America has ever known next to
Miss Willard, Harriet Beecher Stowe.
She said Trust in the Lord and do
good Trust in the Lord and do good
and your life will be rapture to you
as you do good and the benedictfon of
God will be your strength.
Some people put too much value
on morality. We should not disparage
morality. Jesus had a peculiar kind Of
love for the young man who was moral.
But the moralist needs saviour the
same as any one else. Jesus said, He
that cometh unto me will in no wise
cast out All that you need is to be-
come a Christian is common sense and
about five minutes sensible reflection.
Do not wait for some peculiar state of
feeling, but make your decision to-
night. Some think of their past lives
and come sorrowing and others think
of the love of Jesus and come rejoic-
ing. 1t makes no difference how you
come if you only ask the Lord with
your whole heart"

FEW SCHOOLS ELIGIBLE.
1859 Schools In the Lists Eligible for
the Carnegie Pension Fund.

Des Monies, May 4. - Compare
lively few Of the schools Of the coun
try will be eligible to claim the bounty
of Andrew Carnegie for their aged
professors and teachers. The clause In
the donation cutting out the state
schools and those that demand sectar
ian qualifications for their trustees
faculty and students, eliminates
large number of the schools OF the
country.
1t has been computed by the men
that are handling the proposition that
there are 169 schools in the district
covered that are eligible and that
these schools are scattered through
out the length and breadth of the land
Probably all of the schools will have
some MEMBERS of the their faculties
who are worthy of the support from
the fund and that will be presented by
their respective faculties for the pen
sion,
President Bell of Drake has been in
formed that the trustees will have
from the present time until November
to make their preparations for the
first meeting and that the plans of the
iuCu Will oOhI W IhS NV
ignated men as soon as possible. In
this manner they will have few
months to think of the matter and de-
eide what will be DONE
AS soon as the names of the col
leges in this section of the country are
announced it is President Bells inten
ton to learn the desires of all the fac
ulties possible in this section of the
country and to represent them as fully
as possible at the meeting in Novem
Der.
The gift will make great change in
the colleges Of the country, broadening
them, as large number of the schools
will change their requirements to con
form to the requirements of the dona
ton
The Iowa schools that will partici
pate in the gift are not known at the
present time. The three state schools
will of course not be represented and
the number of the denominations
schools of the state whose constitu
lions exclude them from the benefit
are not known. In the case Of Drake
there are no limitations either as tt
the membership of the board of trus
tees, as to the faculty or to the stud
ents. Congregationalists, Roman
Catholics and Presbyterians are repre-
scented in their faculty.

New York. May 4. - At 1880 o'clock
this morning the jury in the case OF
Nan Patterson tried for the third time
on the charge of numbering Caesar"
Young, was called into the court room
by Recorder Golf. After a delay of
twelve minutes, Miss Patterson ap-
peared, looking pale and in a highly
nervous state.
Recorder Golf asked the jury If they
had reached an agreement. Receiving
a negative reply, he asked II there was
any way in which the court could help
them. The foreman said there was not
and the jury was sent back
At 2 o'clock the jury reported that
they were hopelessly disagreed, and
twenty minutes later was formally dis
charged.
Miss Patterson colIapses.
| It is understood that majority Of
the jury was for acquittal, but in what
portion they stood cannot be ascer-
tanned. Miss Patterson collapsed on
the jury's announcement, and tainted
dead away. She was assisted from
court by one of her counsel and several
court attendants, and revived in the
ante room.
On the second return Of the jury Re-
corder Golf made personal appeal to
| the foreman to endeavor again to
reach a verdict The foreman polled
| the jury in open court, but they were
not able to agree.
Indictment May Be Quashed.
| Future procedure in the case is I'M
certain. It has been intimated by
the district attorneys Office that the
people probably would not attempt an
other trial. Should this be the case
Miss Patterson would be released
either on nominal bail or under her
own recognizance and the indictment
would eventually be quashed.
Girl Sleeps Quietly.
Although in state bordering on
complete collapse when she went to
her cell early today after the jury had
been discharged, Nan Patterson soon
was quieted and slept peacefully
through the night. When the deputy
warden was making his rounds at 8
O'Clock this morning Miss Patterson
and her sister were still sleeping heav-
lily.
The Associated Press has received
information that the jury stood to 5
in favor of acquittal.
May Be Released Today.
It was said at the district attorneys
office today that the prosecution would
not oppose the release of Nan Pat
terson on bail. provided the sum was
fixed at from $4,000 to $4,000. 1t Is
possible she may be released before
night.

Progress of Woman.

The new woman is a fact. 1t Is a con-
dition and not theory that confronts man.
If woman continues to usurp the ancient
a question of time when ladies will fight the
battles of the world and gentlemen will
wash the dishes. Future generations may
sing of THE Woman Behind the Cum"
while gentle man conducts the family knit
ting and darns stockings for his valorouS
sisters at the front.
Many men have long been aware of the
a rule her martial accomplishments have
not been blazoned abroad because her war
like operations have been confined to home
Neghbors have often commented on the
fact that the husband is not the real war
rior of the household.
When ladies shall learn to cleave with
the broadsword and swing the battle-ax as
relentlessly as they can WELD the rolling
pin and fling the hat-iron, then shall the
horrors of war be such that the most cruel
heart must quail.
Not long ago a woman was thing of
ethereal delicacy and celestial daintiness
She was as gentle as the violets that nestled
at her breast She could play the harpsi-
chord without cracking the hammers, break
ing the wires or splitting the soundboard
She would scream for help IL a tiny mouse
invaded her boudoir. But now, she collars
a burglar. Just look at this:

PENNSYLVANIA.

Some criticism is heard of the Pennsyl-
vania republican platform. Why, one might
ask, a declaration of more than one SEN
tence? Resolved. that we are the peo-
pie" would have covered the case and not
offended against the fact. 1t Is not often
that the republicans are in peril there over
local affairs, and they never are in ma
tional affairs. This year only state treas
urer and three judges are to be elected
and things are reasonably serene for the
republicans. Mr.. Quays death has not at
fected the organization he 50 long directed.
Pupils of his care are in charge, and while
no one of them yields the influence he did,
taken together they are equal to their
task. In national contests the tariff uues-
ton alone could be relied upon to carry
Pennsylvania. The majorities during the
past twenty years have been growing at
such rate that practical unanmity has at
last been reached. If Mr.. Bryan runs as
the democratic candidate again in 1908, or
any man identified as he is with extreme
low tariff views, the republican majority in
the Keystone state should by the rule of
increase reach half million.
