Marriage has become a mere Incl
dent in the life of woman; man is but
an a~ppendage, an adjunct, & coTallary
of woman. So speakers at the Ma
tional Business Women's league de-
clared, the speakers being women. In
art, music, literature, medicine, on the
stage, as nurses and court reporters
and in numerous other vocations, pro
fessions, trades or crafts, men are by
no means the whole thing. Most
startling of all, a man as a husband
does not summarize the entire uni
verse. A husband is an incident, moi
a creation.

LANDS OF THE CROW AGENCY.
Arrangements for Registration, to
Begin June IA, CompIeted-Bur-
Iington Offers Low Rates.

Omaha, Neb.-The government hal
made all arrangements for the regis.
tration for the lands of the Crow res.
ervation, which will be drawn July
2 at Billings. The registration dates
are June IA to rs at Sheridan and
Billings, and the Burlington has of.
fered exceptionally low rates to those
wishing to take a chance in Uncle

The rate will be one fare for the
round trip from nearby points, where
the regular one~way fare is 500 or
less. From all other Burlington route
points it will be rs per cent. of the
one-way fare, but not less than $40.
This will make the rate from Omaha,
| Kansas City and Denver much less
| than a fare for the round trip.
The tickets will be sold June 10 to
&c inclusive, with a return limit till
| July 10. All lodging places will be
listed and committees at each town
will meet the excursionists.
The mayor of Billings has wired the
Burlington that everything will be
done to take care of the registration
crowd and he will take persona
charge of the police force. Tents
with board floors will be laid out il
the streets, and booths will be con
structed. The mayor says that Bill

FOR MEAT INSPECTION
HOUSE COMMITTEE OPPOSES
BEvERIpeE AMENDMENT.
Presents a Measure of Its Own,
Which the President, II ls
Said, Will Oppose.

washington-A meat inspection
amendment to the agricultural appro-
priation bill has been completed by
the house committee on agriculture,
and will be known as the Wadsworth
substitute for the Beverage amend
ment. The important features OF the
legislation are that it places the cost
of the inspection on the government
and makes an annual automatic APP
preparation of 1000, 900 to pay the
expenses.
President Not Pleased.
The president has set the seal or
his unqualified disapproval upon the
measure. Chairman Wadsworth sent a
copy of the new proposition to the
president, and he received from the
president a letter in which the latter
in unmistakabfe terms makes it plain
that 1t is totally, absolutely and in
| every essential particular unsatisfac-
| tory to him. Mr.. Roosevelt indicates
| an intention to veto the entire agri-
| cultural appropriation bill, of which II
is a part. leaving the agricultural de
partment stranded and opening up the
possibility of an extra session.
The Presidents Letter.
Secretary Loeb has given out 6
summary of the presidents letter, II
which the secretary says:
in the letter to Mr.. Wadsworth the
president stated that almost every
change in the proposed house amend
ment was for the worse that the pres
dent felt it would doubtless suit thos'
packers who objected to a thorough
going inspection, but that he also fel
it would, in the long run, be a heav.
blow to the honest stock raiser an
the honest packer; that the propose
amendment would gravely hamper tn
secretary of agriculture in doing tn
| work he is appointed to do, an
5 would simply defer the day when W
could restore the foreign and int
. state trade on the meat to a satisfa'
tory position.
: 1.-THE president has explained We
] bally that he is far less concerne
with the question as to whether tn
packers or the government should pa
, for the inspection than with certal
/. other features of the bill"

! Representative Wadsworth, in h
5 part of the correspondence, does n
, hesitate to take the president to tas
y in a way such as has never befo.
r been known in the past decade. M
Wadsworth, in concluding his lette
says: Il regret that you, the presidel
of these United States, should fe

pugning the sincerity and the comp

filled and with Mr.. Burton, OF Ohio,
pointer in hand, indicating on charts
the difference between a sea level and

appearance of a class room.
Mr.. Burton took position in front OF
the maps and called attention to the
vital difference between the two types,
remarling that were the topography
understood it would be the very
strongest argument for the lock
canal. He said if the banks would not
cave, if large boats could go through
without running against rocks at the
side and could be properly steered
then a sea level canal would be the
enterprise which would be naturally
preferred.
But such canal convenient fol

and more, and would exhaust twenty
