Swimming Baths In Munich Have

In order TO enjoy the pleasure OF
breasting the plunging waves it will
soon no longer be necessary TO under

ordinary size, real waves can be made

Herr Hofrat HOeglauer, a German
inventor, has fitted up such a bath in
the German baths, Munich. After nu-
merous experiments a most SatiSfac-
tory result has been obtained The
trials have been made so far in tenn

of simultaneous body and soul help.
Notable it is, too, that from the begin
ming women Salvationists have had in
that organization precisely the same
rights as men, even sharing with them
the highest offices. That is undoubt-
eddy the reason the Salvation Army has
gained such power and influence.
What women can do in the new socio-
religious field of work is illustrated by
Evangeline. or Eva, Booth, the present
executive head of the Salvation Army
of the United States. She was appoint
ed to her place because she could fill it.
She has under her charge 10000 Saliva
tiOnistS.
Eva Booth is the fourth daughter of
General William Booth, founder of the
Salvation Army. As head of the or
ganization in America she will have the
disbursement annually of nearly or
quite $1,OO0OOO. Helen Gould is a gen

The Mothers Congress meets in April.
Do the mothers know what is the most
lamCntable lack in America today? 1t
is the want of training in common hon
Csty and courtesy in the schools. The
country is overwhelmed with persons
who come from the most boorish classes
of Europe. They are strong and
cheeky; they know only how to grab
ali they can without any scruple OF
good manners or any other kind of
scrupie. Too often, indeed, the very
teachers come from this same class and
actually themselves need ethical and
aesthetic training as much as their
pupils do. American men are rapidly
Z. '"uiring the reputation of being the
rudest, most unpleasant hammered men
in civilization. These are not men of
the old American stock, but those who
have no training in morality or polite
ness either at home or in school. No
body but mothers can deal with this
grave menace to American society.

Third Assistant Postmaster General
Makes Report Recommending
Change Which Will Eliminate
Annual Postal Deficit
BY Associated Press.

WASHINGTON. Dec. 13.--The abol-
ishment of the franldng privilege, the
work of correcting alleged abuses of
the second-class mail privilege and a
revision of the laws relating to the
classification of mail matter are some
of the features of the annual report
of the third assistant postmaster gem
eral.
In the former case he declares that
the interests of the government would
be best subserved by requiring that all
government mail be prepaid at the
regular postage rates, which would at
once eliminate the annual postal de-
ficit.
In his effort to correct alleged abuses
of the second-class mail privilege, the
third assistant postmaster general says
that while it necessarily is an unavoid-
ably slow process, there has been no
relaxation in the work. In the book
abuse alone he says reports from the
postoffices of New York and Chicago
We're the only ones received, and show
that the reform has resulted in the
elimination from the second-class OF
approximately 100000 books a year AT
those two Offices. Recommendation is
made for a thorough revision of all
laws in relation to the classification OF
mail matter, except that of the first
class, which is composed of letters

HEARST LOSES DECISION
New York Court of Appeals Sustains
Contention of McCleIIan's Coun-
sel--No Recount Possible
BY Associated Press.


ALBANY, N. Y, Dec. 13.-The court
Of appeals in a decision handed down
today in the New York city ballot box
case sustains the contention of counsel
for Mayor Mcclellan and denies that
of the attorneys for w. II. Hearst and
his colleagues on the municipal owner
ship league ticket.
Tie court holds. as was argued by
former Chief Judge Parker and his
associates. that the courts have no
power under the election law to order
by mandamuS the opening of the ballot
boxes and recount of ballots.
The case relates directly to the vote
for mayor, comptroller and president
of the board of aldermen cast in the
second election district of the sixth as
sembly district of New York county
at the election of November Z last, but
is of the utmost Importance in Mr.
Hearst's contest for the mayoralty of
New York city and IS fundamental in
It's effect upon the electoral system of
this state under the present election.
The decision was rendered by a di-
vided court, five to two the majority
comprising Chief Justice Cullen and
Judges Gray, O'Bren. Haight and
Werner. Judges Bartlett and Vain dis
sented.
The gist of the majority opinion IS
that the courts are without power or
authority to order a recount of the bal
lots cast in the election districts" and
that therefore, the candidates defeat
ed on the face of the returns are left
to such action at law or otherwise as
may be appropriate, wherein to ques-
