baccalaureate sermon delivered at the
commencement exercises of st. Eliza
beth's Female College al Madison, N j..
when a number of graduates took their
degrees. The Bishop, after general
discussion OF the use of modern educa-
ton of women, said:
IF asked to give advice as to the most
important step in your preparation for
the ardent and exacting duties of life, 1
would say first, that every woman, no
matter what her wealth or position in
society, should at least for a time become
self-supporting in some field of modern
usefulness, should make her own living
independently, at least for time.
above all things, / would warn you
against becoming that greatest of mod
ern pests, an idle society woman, who
devotes her time to the performance OF
what she calls social duties, or following
after social pleasures.

MORE BRIBERY EVIDENCE
IN' CHICAGO STRIKE.
Startling Testimony Is
Given Before the
Grand Jury.
WaIkout as a Weapon
Of Business
Rivals.

CHICAGO, June 16.-Although rumors
Of sensational developments in connec-
ton with the teamsters' strike were fly
ing thick and fast to-day, there was 1T
tie tangible evidence to support them.
Assistant States Attorney Fake declared
to-day that the evidence or bribery given
before the Grand Jury was of a startling
character and that it could only be
paralleled once in q thousand years. The
testimony given to-day. he said, was
along the lines OF the evidence OF yes
terday.
It is unofficially declared that the
Grand Jury to-day devoted much OF its
time TO listening TO the statements Of wit
nesses. who declared that the strike
against Montgomery Ward & Co. was
instigated by rival business houses.
States Attorney Healy said tonight
that the investigation has assumed a
scope so extensive that the full session
Of the present Grand Jury, which is to
continue for two weeks. will probably be
finished before the inquiry is concluded
and that a special Grand Jury will be
necessary for the routine cases now
pending.
The strike situation to-day was almost
normal. But for the sight Of policemen
and Deputy Sherifs riding on delivery
wagons there would have been no evi-
6ence that q strike was in progress. The
business houses and express companies
had almost a normal stage in their deliv-
cries. There is no present prospect Of
peace.
Heated debate is expected at the meet
ing OF the Chicago Federation of Labor
on Sunday when the dispute between the
teamsters and the building trades is pre-
sented for consideration. 1t is reported
some OF the delegates to the federation
will protest against a continuance Of the
strike.
Secretary Hooper of the Lumbermen's
Association declares that lumber firms
affected by the strike are now doing
about 50 per cent Of their normal busi-
ness.
The list of fatalities due to labor trou-
bles since the beginning of the team
sters' strike, furnished TO the States At
torney as a basis for manslaughter in
