An eminent physician, writing to the
 London Daily Mail, demands legisla- tion which will prohibit marriages be- tween persons afflicted with either mental or physical diseases. He as- serts that his investigations show that a large proportion of the inmates in hospitals and insane asylums are com mitted to those institutions because they inherited their. aniiction. "In savage races" he adds, natural se- lection remorseIessly cuts down the diseased, the race does not become con taminated and thus a high standard of health is maintained. We, on the other hand. surround the weddings with an artificial environment and We struggle with all our strength against the law which condemns the unfit to extinction" Theoretically the doctor is right. but we doubt If legislation would have any effect in stopping the marriages of the deaf, dumb, blind or those with inherited traits of insanity. If the moral sense of those afflicted Is not sufficient to keep them from mar riage there is not mucn use in laws that cannot be enforced. It would be a good thing to stop imprOvident or marriages which throw SO many people upon charitable institu- tions. but no law can bring this about. It will come with higher education.

A couple of Plttsburg milIionafrcs the other day set an example worthy of imitation, says an exchange. Rather than pay three dollars for the hauling of some baggage from the railroad de pot to the wharf they threw the bag gage on a truck and pusned Il to its destination. It was not the amount of money involved which led them to revolt. because they recompensed the owner of the truck with proper 1arg- ess. IL was the principle of the thing. It would be a great deal better for many people who are not mlllionalres to occasionally put their pride in their pockets and save money The trouble is. of course. that the millionaire can do a great many things which the pvor man is afraid fo do He can drive nls own coal earT if he wants to. ana viM not at the most. be charged with any thing more than eoesntricity.

WOMAN SUPERINTEsDs MINE
Mrs Morgan Takes Up Abandoned
 Property and Makes It Pay.

Mrs Morgan Takes Up Abandoned Property and Makes It Pay.
 Mrs W. F. Morgan, wife of a coun- cilman of Joplin, is recognized as the only woman mine superintendent in every sense of the word.
 The SunDonnet Boss is the way her employees refer to her, and it is with a sense of pride that the men employed at her mine tell visitor that their su- perlhtendent is woman, and it is with no intent of discourtesy that they use the pseudonym Sunbonnet Boss.
 Mrs Morgan few weeks ago organ lzed the Togo Mining Co and began working in an old abandoned mine on the Rob Roy lease, two and one-half miles southeast of Joplin. The mine was originally known as the Dugan Digg1ns. Mining was carried on at depth of eighty feet, and after few successful months operations It the Duggan Diggins was declared off. The property was abandoned.
 It was not only abandoned, but it was condemned. Most any miner who knew the ground would volunteer the Information that there was nothing tnere It was "pockety," according to their explanation. The one big pocket Of ore had been worked out and noth- ing remained.
 But women have no given rules for doing things. They do not reason as do men. and the haphazard manner in which Mrs Morgan selected her field Of operations perhaps is responsible for her protoplast success. But the per manent success which has attended her mining operations may be attributed only to the fact that her executive ability is excellent and to the fact that she is at the mine almost every minute in the day.
 When Mrs Morgan first went to the cid Dugan Diggins there was nothing there but large dump pile and mine filled with water. Her knowledge of ground formation was limited. but she examined the character of the rock that had been thrown upon the dump and decided then and there that she would engage in mining. And she did. boiler, pump, engine and the neces- sary supplies were purchased by Mrs Morgan and the work of draining the nnne Of its water was soon under way.
 With the water out, Mrs Morgan en- tered the mine and took a look at the drifts She examined the side walls, the roof, the face and the bottom of the mine. She decided that the mine tthat level had been pretty thorough ly prospected. The only thing to be done, then, was to sink the shaft deep CT. At the depth of a little more than 100 feet nice body of steel jack tsteel colored zinc ore) was encoun- tered. The shaft was sunk to a depth of 124 feet, and still there is ore in the bottom. But drifting was started at this level, and some of the richest ore ever feund in the district has been taken out.
 There is not man in Mrs Morgan's employ who would not risk his life for her. They like her, they like her way of managing, and work harder under the guidance of their ,Sunbonnet Boss" than they would for anybody else.
 At the mine Mrs Morgan is well equipped with miners wearing ap- parel. She has rubber skirt, coat, hat and boots, and when she is called upon to go into the mine she does so with much comfort and rides A tub Just as gracefully as any man.-Joplin Globe.

THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 14, 1905.

The expenditures on account of the Panama canal have been very large, and will likely continue large, but it is expected that when congress meets there will be some canal legislation that will work to the beneflt or the treasury. The Spooner bill provided for the issuance of S130,OOO,O00 canal bonds and it is expected congress will early in the session authorize the use of the bonds as a basis for national bank circulation and that will cause demand for the bonds. When those are sold the drain for canal purposes on the treasury will cease. Congress may provide that the treasury shall be reimbursed for its outlay out of the proceeds of the bonds, but if that is done the relief will only be temporary unless another bond issue is provided for. as no one expects the canal to be built on anything like the figures giv- en when the purchase was made.

D VANISHING CAME BfRDspno
Destruction of Prairie Chickens Great
 CT Than the Reproduction.

DesTucIOn OI Hrdlrle Chickens Great
 CT Than the Reproduction.
 The general prospects this season for good prairie chicken shooting. one of the keenly popular upland sports with dog and gun, seem in the main to be unfavorable. Undoubtedly there are small areas here and there, mere hooks in comparison to the whole vast prairie habitation of the plnnated grouse, which contain birds aplenty and which will afford ample sport for the favored few who have access to them; but for the hundreds of chick en shooters who take their chances without preliminary investigation. much failure and disappointment are in store
 The reports from many of the prair- ie districts where the pinnated grouse In times past were in abundance, or at least plentiful enough to afford good sport, indicate an unusual scarcity.
 Undoubtedly the destruction of the pinnated grouse is greater than its production. The decrease in its num- bers seems to be steadily progressive with the passing years. The area of the habitat of species also is gradu- ally diminishing, though this is not manifested by the entire and sudden extermination of the chickens in certain section nor their sudden aban- donment of it.
 The change from abundance to dearth comes about gradually. Some sections in former years which afford ed sport for weeks in later years af- ford sport for days only. From abun- dance the supply becomes meagpr. Ottentimes the changes from plenty to poverty. the lamentable results of eXterminatiOn or abandoned habitat. are not noticed by the sportsman till he Is confronted with the fact when dlligent seeking for sport afield with dog and gun ends in failure.
 The enormous decrease in the num- bers and decreasing habitat of the prairie chicken are not realized by the younger sportsmen of the present time. Nor do the older sportsmen re alize it by any comparisons of more recent years. \ comparison of pres ent conditions concerning chicken shooting with those which obtained fifteen or twenty years ago will bring into conspicuous relief the progressive decrease. which has resulted in fine scarcity of the present.

oppressed by the very falsity Of his position. It takes good deal of mOr- al courage to acknowledge that there are some things in the world beyond our reach. At the same time, those Pittsburg millionaires are entitled to our grateful thanks. Whether In a spirit of brayado or righteous indigna- tion they resented an imposition, it will pay some of us to follow their example and wheel our own baggage through the world. We Americans are so busy that we will not stop to right an imposition in hundred little things, and this has led to a habit which causes us to ignore bigger mat ters-say, the graft and imposition of office holders. We think their crimes are necessary evils, and so take no in- terest in prosecuting them till the bur den becomes too hard to bear. When an Englishman is imposed upon in rhe most trifing matter-say, cab fare he kicks at once, and vigorously. This habit he carries into city rule, and he fights for his moneys worth. Such graft as we see in Philadelphia could not have start with John Bull. Some years ago both Mark Twain and Wayne MacVeagh brought a cabman before magistrate on the charge of extortion and the American world wondered. If every citizen acted in the same way-that is, stood up man. fully for the right on all occasions it would become national habit that would soon banish grafters of all kinds.

Deserted Vanderbilt Palace May Go to
 Former Equitable Vice-Chlef.

DeSerted Na0OeFDllI GdldCe Mdy bo Ao
 Former Equitable Vice-Chief.
 Newport, Sept 15-James Hagen Hyde is said to be looking for New port residence, as well as bride. Last night it was said that he would buy an estate hitherto said to be unpurchasa- ble, Marble house, the place given by W. K. Vanderbilt to his former wife, who is now Mrs Oliver H. P. Belmont.
 Marble house was built by William K. Vanderbilt especially for his former wife. Every detail in the interior dec Oration was designed under her direc- ton by Jules Allard of Paris. The salon is a fac-simile of that at Yer sailles, the gold and white sculptured panels of Louis XIV being exquisitely reproduced. The mantel in this splen. did apartment is of Italian marble. The wood panels between the windows are in mythological' designs. The din- ing room is of red marble and gold bronze. The staircases are of white marble with balustrades of gold bronze and cost S450,O00. The dec orations of the salon and dining room cost S4O0.O0O in all.
 This splendid mansion, which cost s2,7OO,OO0, was completed and occupied by the yanderbilts in the summer of 1892. After the divorce Mr Vanderbilt deeded the palace to his ex-wife. Since she married O. H. P. Belmont, Marble house has remained unoccupied. It has been the general report in New. rsort that fhp interior f1truishfnoS arc mouldering from neglect and darkness

ON BUYING A HAT
Insist on Standing Up When Yoa Try
 It On, Says the Wise Woman.

Don't be content to buy hat just because it is thoroughly becoming to you as you sit before the milliner's mirror, says woman noted for the taste that she shows in her hats.
 Stand up before the mirror and l make sure that the hat is as becoming to you when you stand as when you are seated. Do not stand close before the mirror, walk away. from it and get glimpse of yourself from a dis tance. Assume number of different attitudes, characteristic ones that you would naturally take when wearing the hat and see if the hat suits you in them all.
 Tn other words try to see yourself as others will see you, judging your appearance in the hat as they will, not as you have judged for yourself when seated becomingly before the mirror with clever milliner lowering about, fattering roses into your cheeks and excitement into your eyes.
 Tt is not an exaggeration to say that in nine cases out of ten if women stood to see how they looked in the hat that has so pleased them when seated, they would find it unsatisfac- tory.
 Hence it is good business in the millinery trade to keep customers seated until a sale be accomplished.
 'It is women of medium height and short women who are the principal victims in the practically general GUS tom of judging upon the becomingness of a hat while the customer is seated. The sweep of skirt in the sitting pos ture. the repose of attitude, the color coming to the face with the repose, the grace of gesture of arm as one takes glimpses into the hand mirror, favor the becomingness of the hat set upon one's head with the delft fiattery of knowing fingers.
 ''The latter woman smiles back at herself under heavily plumed pic ture hat, immensely becoming, simply because her sweep of skirt balances its huge proportions. Let her rise, how different is the effect.
 ''The stout women suffers in the same way. Seated she forgets that she is not sitting for portrait of her head. but must look just as well when standing, when the general lines of her figure and carriage may more likely than not ridicule the head effect so satisfactory when lines of figure and carriage are forgotten.
 "A tall. slender woman, even when seated. gives a fair impression of how she will look when standing. She re- tains the atmosphere of her height. Therefore she runs little risk of hay ing a hat unbecoming to her when standing that has pleased her when tried on when she was seated; but even she should make perfectly sure of running no risk at all, by rising from her chair, sweeping aside flat terers, and getting distance glimpse of herself.
 "Watch an actress buy hat She will teach you how to do it. She takes a great deal of time about her pIlr- chase. It is misjudging her to think her overfussy or putting on airs. She is simply bound to get the right ef- feet as she sits, walks, stands: from front. back and sides. because her training makes her understand the importance of having hat or bonnet lines carry out the costume sugges- tions held in line of figure and ex- pression of face"

Rumor Has General Grants Grand
 daughter Engaged to St Louis Man.
 St Louis. Sept 13.-The reported en- gagement of Miss Rosemary Sartoris, daughter of Nellie Grant Sartoris, to James \. Nelson, jr. of St Louis. is believed to be true. although no defin- ite annOuncement has been made. Nr Nelson who is a Yale man. is about 29 years old. and is identified with the University club. the St Louis club and the Glen Echo Country club. He as- sists his father in caring for the large family estate.
 The basis for the report consists largely in the. fact that Miss Sartoris was a frequent visitor at the Nelson country mansion in Normandie. a pretty St Louis suburb. She has been frequently the honored guest at ser- eFal of Mrs NeIs0n's elaborate dinners. Color Is also given to the report of the engagement ty the faef that Mr NeI- son and Miss Sartoris have been sum msring at the Poland Springs. South Poland.

which was stacked up against the wall
of the crater. BY throwing a piece of
lava over the side and down upon this
pile of loose lava, a slide lasting some
times a minute or two would be pro-
duced. These IA stones would roll
and slide over each other In large
masses until they reached the extreme
bottom of the pit These slides pro
duced considerable noise and the sound
would echo and re-echo from wall to
wall and then gradually die away until
no sound could be heard until another
eruption would take place from the

piece of lava the size Of saucer
thrown over the edge could not be fol-
lowed by the eye to the extreme bot
