After thinking over the matter for some
time the leading spirits of the society came
to the conclusion that this scheme was not
big enough and did not go far enough to
rouse anything like enthusiasm in America.
1t would have been but a feeble imitation
of the great empire builders benefaction,
and In these days women-especially Ameri-
can women-do not take kindly to back
seat parts. 1t was then proposed that
fund should be raised for the creation OF
ninety-three perpetual scholarships at Eng
lish universities, distributed that two
women from each state in the Union and
one from the District of Columbia should
be sent here for a two years post-gradu-
ate course But Miss Thomas, president OF
Bryn Mawr College, and a cousin of the
Hon. Mrs. Bertrand Russell, suggested in a
letter that a three years undergraduate
course would be preferable to a two years
postgraduate course. Miss Thomas posi-
ton and experience enttle her to speak
with great authority all matters per-
tanning TO the education of women. 1t Is
this scheme which is most favored by the
Society of American Women here.
Il saw at once" said Madame Thayer,
that Miss Thomas plan. with the oppor-
tunities it would afford American girls to
try for tripos and honors at the English
universities was the better one. The idea
OF giving American girls the benefit of the
best English educational training and en-
Vironment Is not thing of yesterday with
me. Two years ago l read in an American
paper that according to statistics the per-
centage of iliteracy was higher in Georgia
IMAM In any other state, and that efforts
were being made to effect an Improvement
by training teachers, and then sending
them out 10 train others In June, 1903.

Idea was first suggested by an address de-
livered before the Society of American Wo-
men by the Hon. Mrs Bertrand Russell
wife of Earl Russelrs brother, and the
daughter of Mrs. Pearsan Smith, a we'll
known American philanthropist. This was
in April last, and it was then proposed
merely to bring over a few women who had
been gradual ted from American colleges and
give them years course at some English
university.

BUSINESS THE LARGEST EVER

This last week has seen the climax of
the holiday trade with Omaha retailers.
Feople have thronged the stores in such
numbers that it has been almost impossi-
bic to walt on all Of them, and the Christ
mas trade has been the largest the mer-
chants nave ever known. With the excep-
ton OF shoes and heavy dry goods and
clothing, the demand has extended to all
INES. these exceptions to the general rule
are caused by the warm weather A no
tlceabIe fact, indicating the general pros
pellty, IS that better grade of goods has
been sold than usual. Reports from coun-
tIy retailers who get their wares in
omaha are to the eject that they have
Iau an enormous trade and expect 1t to
continue.
Omaha jobbers have been pleasantly sur
prlsed that the big demand for goods con-
tlnued right up to Christmas. Usually the
tIau! taiIs oil four or five days before,
but this year. especially in hardware and
groceries, 1t has been sustained in volume
through the whole week. The wholesalers
expect a lull for about a week and then
Dig business for the rest of the win
ter The year will close as a record
breaker in the history of the city's job
bling business.
Collections although fair all fall have
been better the last week. owing to the
large Christmas trade of country retail
ers, enabling them to meet bills for goods
ordered. The stocks of the retailers have
been largely cleaned up and they will be
compelled to replenish their stores i'm
There have been no fluctuations in prices
of large consequence. Values are on a
sound, healthy basis, and If there are to be
any changes they will be in the direction
of higher prices. strong feeling exists in
almost all lines and Jobbers are advising
their customers to lay in "A supply OF GER
tain goods before higher prices are named.

CIVILIANS ON THE TRANSPORTS
Methods Employed by Omcers and
Friends in EvndinR Army
Rules.

II is reported from Washington that the
War department is renewing it's efforts
to restrict the use of the transports to
officers and soldiers Of the army. SINH
lar reports have reached us before. They
make periodic appearances, but the trans
ports continue to be filled with civilians,
junketing political personages and the sis
ters, the cousins and the aunts OF officers
and men, not to mention their wives chill
dren and servants, while the young
subalterns continue to be thurst into
cramped quarters 'tween-deck to accommo-
date persons who never wear epaulettes
or shoulder muskets.
The War department has not yet had
the hardihood TO deny openly that families
Of officers are entitled to free transporta-
ton across the seas. but It tries to limit
the size of the families, not infrequently
with amusing results. Not many months
ago an infantry captain applied for trans
portation for his wife. two sisters and
children The allowance OF sisters was
cut down one-half, only one being given
accommodations. However, he managed to
ring in the rejected sister the nurse
to his child. This shrewd solution of the
problem looked lovely and everybody was
happy until on arriving on board the
transport IL was NIOunQ tndtI WNle tns
wife and other sister were given cabin
staterooms the nurse sister was assigned
to the steerage quarters with the wives
of enlisted men. Horriblei The roar that
arose was heard way up Folsom street.
The threats of both sexes were taxed to
express their horror and Indignation. The
quartermaster captain was at once sum
moned and q lively protest made. or
course the story came out then and the
fact that the alleged nurse was really
brother officers fair sister travelling in
disguise was impressed upon the perplexed
quartermastcr captain, whs for time
took refuge in quiet stateroom to think
out tho situation. II was finally patched
up In some way and both sisters were
taken TO Manila, but the nurse trick was
not attempted again by that family, al
though It has been successfully worked at
other times.
Another officer with a wife and two sis
ters had less fortunate experience only
few days ago. He had been ordered TO
the Philippine on special duty. His APP
plicatlon for his wife and two sisters 10
accompany him was frowned upon. He
thereupon wrote TO the authorities, saying
that his position being on special duty,
was not akin 10 that OF those proceeding
under routine orders on routine duties
He was in a class by himself, etc. Back
from Washington came a telegram just
before the vessel sailed giving authority
