Women, Reporters and Cleveland.

1t was Grover Cleveland day in the
board Of directors of the federation Of
women's clubs at Atlantic City yester-
day. Mrs. Yardley arose and an
nounced that she had invited G.. Cleve-
land to be present at the meeting and
defend himself from the charge of hav-
ing despitefully used the club move
ment. "And SO did I, and so did To-
shouted a dozen women. And yet Gro
yer was not there. No wonder. The
number of invitations he had received
was in itself suspicious. He probably
spent the day under the kitchen porch.
The women then proceeded to fay Gro
yer, living or dead, sleeping orswaking,
on the record and on suspicion. They
branded him as a traitor and tattooed
him as an %ignoramus. No doubt the
news was telegraphed to the local pa
per at Princeton and that Grover now
knows a man may be an ex-president
and yet not be much.
The women also took a fling at the
rlbald reporters who do not always
treat the club news in a sympathetic
manner This is a defect in the repor-
torial makeup which we have often no
tlced and deplored. Reporters are
short on sympathy and long on pleas.
antry. If there is one thing more than
another a reporter dotes upon it is to
get into a meeting where the chair does
not know a motion to reconsider from
a hot cross bun and write it up. Sym.

grandmother off on such an occasion.
1t is the same way with mems meet

ability are frequently. moved to tears

Another Compromise.

The latest developments in the
Equitable case are distinctly disap-
pointing. ?
When the company found that it had
to get rid of Hyde, Alexander and
Gage, it seemed as if it were awake to
it's responsibilities, and that it would
strike high for the renewed favor Of
the public and the rehabilitation of the
company in the confidence of insurers.
In view of this expectation, which was
not unreasonable, the purchase of the
Hyde stock by T. F. Ryan and the
election to the craftsmanship of Mr..
Paul Morton cannot but give the
friends of the best ideals in insurance a
sick feeling.
World upon this new arrangement
printed in the news columns are just
and to the point. The report of the
Frick committee shows that the com
pany has been recklessly managed, that
there are large sums owing to the policy
holders by people who used their money
to enrich themselves in syndicates and
stock deals. *.
The proper way to reorganize the
Equitable was to dismiss the men who
made these illegal and immoral gains
and sue them for restitution. But the
Equitable directors turned down this
report and made a compromise by
which the assets Of the company are
made the prey Of a traction syndicate
and it's affairs are dictated not by an in
surance man, but by a railroad man,
who has proved himself a past master
Of the art of secret rebating. g. .
There are two approved sayings in
current thought, one that when thieves
fall out, honest men get their dues, the
other that revolutions never 20 back
wards. Both are in danger of being
negatived in the Equitable case. Hyde,
Alexander and Gage have fallen out,
but there is no evidence that the policy
holders are to get their dues. The
revolution in the Equitable began
against the Hyde stock control and it
appears to have been stopped by a coun:
ter revolution transferring the stock
from a man to a syndicate. It is true
the syndicate divests itself Of the vot'
ing power, but this does not near
much. 1t would have meant much il
the directors had bought the stock out
of the Equitable surplus and destroyed
it.
The superintendent Of insurance Of
New York is not thru with his examina
tion and when he is thru it will be W
to the governor to say whether he viii

make an independent investigation.

of those disappointments that blight the

Value of Journal Junior Work.

LII Was IcuIdIAeu LII Cucoe CO1uL1uo,
not long since, that call kinds Of peo-
pie read The Journal Junior for all
kinds of reasons,' but the recent
graduating exercises in the four high
schools of the city show conclusively
that the entertainment or instruction
obtained by merely reading the little
paper is one of the least of the good
things which it represents.
Of the students taking prominent
parts in all Of the programs, two-thirds
have been more or less regular writer's
in the weekly Journal Junior con-
tests for the past seven years. Since
the fall Of 1898, a record has been
kept of every scholar from fifth grade
to twelfth, whose work has appeared
in the columns of The Journal Junior,
and it shows just how long each writer
has been in the ranks Of active Jour-
nal Juniors and how faithful his work
in the contests has been. -
At South high, six of the eight
seniors upon the program have been
contributors to The Journal Junior.
Lillian Finnberg, the salutatorian, be-
gan in 1900. Wanda L. Fraiken and
Gerald Young date their connection
with the little paper from 1898; Macy
Cearl Will from 1899; Gustave S.
| Holm and Rosetta Monahan from 1901.
At Central high, six of the ten upon
the program were Journal Junior
writer's. The winners of the first and
4l.,l Lo,o,o -, 4ho Gala aor4oo4. NTo1
den Ainsworth and Charles Berry, have
in past years received recognition as
promising Journal Junior writer's. In
addition, Camelia Waite, the salutato-
rian, and Florence Greaves were en-
rolled as Juniors in 1900, while Elsa
contribute in 1899.
At East high but Lily Shadewald, the
salutatorian, and Gertrude Hull, gained
honors as Journal Juniors in 1899, May
belle Snyder appearing in the list in
1900.
At North high, four Of the six
seniors contributing to the program are
one-time journal Juniors. Edith Rock.
wood, the salutatorian, began her Jour.
'
nal Junior work in 1898, Max Lowen'
thai in 1899, Mary G. Rice in 1900 and
Abbie McGinty in 1904.
Carrying the record still farther back
than the high schools, Fred A. Wirth
one Of the best-known Journal Junior
writers from 1899 to 1901, won the
'S9 memorial prize at the university
this year.
The Journal feels it is hardly
necessary to emphasize the recognized
efficiency of The Journal Junior al
an educational factor, but, neverthe
less, takes pleasure in noting these
facts bearing out the testimonials o.
superintendent and teachers thruou'
the northwest, that the Journal JUNO:
work has proved a wonderful incen
tive to students in the study of Eng
lish composition.

What Americans Spend Abroad.-Every
year Americans spend abroad a constant
ly increasing sum of money, says Henry
c. Nicholas in Public Opinion, June l.
Before leaving for Europe the tourist purchases
a letter of credit covering the sum which he ex-
poets to spend while abroad. These letters of
credit are purchased mainly from Wall street
bankers. and give a foundation to work upon in
estimating the amount of money annually spent
abroad on vacations. Experts on foreign eX-
change agree that for the last five years an av-
erage of more than $500. 600. 900 a year has been
spent by American tourists abroad. Present in
~dications are that fully, 1901 cabin passengers
will cross the Atlantic eastward this year, and
the cost Of the vacations of these $50. COO tour
lists will amount to not less than $3.50, 900, 900,
or an average of about 81, 600 apiece.
a Modern Robin Hood.-Probably the
most extraordinary character in our
American political life today is the Hon.
Timothy D. Sullivan (t'Big Tim''D, mem
Der from the eighth congressional dis
trict Of New York. Alfred Henry Lewis,
in a careful study of his characters and
methods, which he has prepared for the
June Cosmopolitan, calls him the mod
ern Robin Hood: but the reader after
laying down this amazing narrative will
conclude that the modern politician has
quite outdone the famous h~ighwayman.
Indeed, one must search among the orr
entail e~xtravagances Of The Arabian
! Nights to find the equal of such lavish

Even to be Mr.. Sullivan's second cousin,
says Mr.. Lewis, is worth ten thousand a

fused to accede to this, and Russia
made war upon him. The king was
dePosed by his subjects because Of his
infrmities, and his aged uncle, the Duke
OF Sudermania, was placed upon the
throne. Peace was made with Russia
and France, and Sweden was compelled
to join the continental system OF Ma
poleon. The labor Of the government
was undertaken by the heir apparent,
but suddenly, while reviewing troops OF
the field, he fell from his horse and ex-
PRED. The kingdom was again face to
face with the question of a successor,
and various names for heir apparent
were proposed. Among these was
Bernadotte, marshal Of France, and
Prince of Ponte-Corvo, whose wife was
a sister of the wife of Joseph Bona

the Swedes and had been military gov
ernor of Pomerania, vas a favorite
candidate because Of his treatment OF
tho Swedes. In the wars he had always
been fair. Napoleon gave his consent
tho he secretly disliked and opposed the
selection. Thus the Bernadotte family
came to the throne of Sweden, where it
is today. The present king, Oscar Ii,

! dotte king, who came to the throne in
1878 under the name of Charles XIV.
