In her garden sat Phrygia one eve
ming amongst the roses and the yellow
elder bushes. Her summer home she
called Sweet Briar Farm" and when
I'm it, this little lady became the sim
plest Of country maidens.
An open letter fluttered upon her
knee; in fact, three open letters; each
containing proposal OF marriage, or
to speak more correctly, renewed
proposal Of marriage, for the letters
were from the aforesaid three in par
ticular, who had pressed and who were
still pressing their suit with urgency.
Phrygia, as it happened, liked them all,
but sure of none was at loss to
choose between them. Mr.. Walden
was the cleverest; Dan Courtney the
wealthiest; Harry Bond, the best look
ing, but of the true nature OF the
three, Fhrygia had her doubts. Wise
keenly alive to the fact that neither
wealth nor wit, nor mere outward
comeliness, necessarily brought wifely
content to soul or spirits.

want, but am going to try she said,
placing the letters in their respective
envelopes, "for it is certain that if I
should make up my mind to marry, it
will lie either Mr., Walden, or Dan
Courtney, or Harry Bond
The letter Phrygias wrote in answer
to Mr.. Waldon's, forwarded to her,
ran as follows:
My dear MIR. Walden: You wonder
where l am. Well, 1 will tell you.
am rusticating at Sweet Briar Farm
with my staid duenna, Lavinia Grey.
You used to admire her lovely white
hair and the way she looked at you
through her lorgnettes. Will you join
us? Come if you can on Wednesday
next. Very sincerely, Phrygia.'

BY MARGARET E. SANGSTER.
We talk about the idle rich; the
phrase is misnomer; there really
are no idle rich people in America
to-day. Wasteful, naughty, arrogant
and purse-proud rich there may be,
forming the minority and pointing a
contrast when compared with the vast
multitude of well-to-do-women and
men who have gained wealth without
losing the virtues that distinguish
good people everywhere. Even those
who form the lower stratum of the
smart set, who are vulgar and push
ing and have no claim to considera
ton beyond their bank account, are
not idle. Far from it. They are as
restless, as eager and as busy in the
pursuit of pleasure as any laborer in
the world can possibly be in the pur-
suit of honest bread.
The daughters Of the rich by rea-
son of the excellent care that sur
rounds them from the cradle belong
to what may be called with reason,
our highest aristocracy. No princess
of royal blood is more carefully edu-
Gated, more zealously surrounded by

and when she has been graduated from

finest product of modern civilization.
What does this daughter of the gods
aim to do with herself? She is fitted
for any station. She shall presently
be presented to society and she may
at once, if she choose, become a reign:
ing belle. Marriage in the old world
Is the ultimate goal of a mothers am
>bition for such a daughter. The
American mother is not very anxious
to get rid of her daughter, and tells
her not to be In haste. Why should
she not enjoy a long, bright and tri-
umphant career as daughter at home,
before She takes @on herself the re-
sponsibilities Of the wife, and with

comfort of the most elaborate home,
and the young woman whose brain
has been developed by serious study
is not content to sit down and let her
tools rust
It is impossible not to sympathize
with this view. Energy and ambition
are in the air we breathe. A girl who
has a pronounced talent for business
is not happy if obliged to spend her
time over embroidery or cake-making.
She not only feels that she has gifts
that may be used successfully out in
the world, but she. thinks that the
friction, the. competition and the &C.
tivity of the outdoor world, are inter-
esting and profitable. They seem to be
her worth while.
The problem that should bid her
pause is an ethical one. In a suburb
not far from New York there resided
three years ago on the same street
two girls, one of whom had a for
tune, the other of whom was depend
ent on her daily work for daily bread.
Both had business ability. Each had
studied bookkeeping, each applied in
the same: week for the same vacant
situation. 1t was given to the rich
girl, probably because she was rich
and bore q name we'll known in BUSH
ness circles. Had the rich girl not
applied the position would have been
given to the girl who needed it., who
would have performed its duties with
equal fidelity and who was forced by
her poverty to take something less
suited to her training and less re-
munerative. In this instance the first
girl really acted, without intending it.,
the part of robber and made life
more difficult and frugality more
pressing than it need have been in
the home of another, sister woman
Of her own age and with an educa-
ton similar to her own.
The rich girl who not infreuuentlv
accepts work at a lower salary than
she could afford to take if she did not
possess private means, cheapens the
market and adds terribly to the bur-
dens of the poor. In not a few cases
women Of wealth plume themselves on
the austerity of their economy. They
give lavishly in charity, but they
grudge the money they pay to those
who help them. They will engage as
secretary or. companion the daughter
Of 8 relative or, of q wealthy neigh.

LANCASHIRE MAKES A PROTEST
Church Members object to Bar
ring Religion from
school.

LONDON. June S--Thirty-three special
trains brought to London this morning
1900 Lancashire churchmen to protest
against the education bill. The protestors
arrived at various stations and proceeded
to Regents park, where they massed, and
accompanied by bands of music and carry
ing banners, marched through the principal
thoroughfares to Albert Hall. The process
sion was headed by the bishops of London
and Manchester and included many clergy
men.
There was an immense gathering at AL
bert Hall and the streets in its vicinity
were crowded. The chief resolutions sub
mitted to the meeting recorded in behalf
of the Lancashire churchmen an emphatic
protest against the bill on the ground that
1t is destructive in the elementary schools
and contained the assertion that the only
true safeguard of religious education in the
schools is a continuation of the denomina =
tional schools. Much enthusiasm was
evinced The bishops were the recipients
of frequent demonstrations in the streets
and hall.
The visitors for the most part were fac
tory employees. forming a typicaly Lanca-
shire crowd. but all classes were repre-
sented and they all came at their own ex-
pense. Consequently the protest was more
Significant than most of such demonstra-
tions.

COMPROMISE ON STATEHOOD
Suggestion Made that No Convention

is Opposed.

WASHINGTON, June S.--A basis of COM
promise, If not the exact form which is
said to be acceptable TO a majority of the
senate, for the settlement of the differences
on the statehood question has been submit
ted to Senator Carter. This provides for a
vote at the next regular territorial elections
OF Arizona and New Mexico to be held in
November for delegates to a constitutional
convention to frame a constitution for a
proposed new state and vote on the ques-
ton of statehood to be submitted in this
form Shall Arizona and New Mexico be
united as one state?'' II a majority in each
of the territories vote in favor of Joint
statehood, then the delegates to a constitu-
tlonal convention will be called together
II majority in either territory is recorded
against statehood, then the convention will
not assemble. 1t eliminates the expense of
holding a constitutional convention in the
event the decision of either territory is
against statehood and avoids confusion of
the statehood question with an election for
state officers

LEGISLATORS FIGHT FLAMES
Louisiana Lawmakers Lend Aid In
saving the State Capitol
from Destruction.

BATON ROUGE, La, June s.-The saw
ing of the state capitol from destruction
by fire last night was accomplished in a
spectacular manner with Governor Blanch-
ard, assisted by many Louisiana legislators
dressed in their night clothes and by hun
dreds of citizens supplementing the fire de-
partment. The fire started from defective
wiring near the roof of the senate chamber
destroying the oapitol's eastern wing above
the first floor. The loss was between $50. 900
and $4,000
Among the valuables in the senate
chamber where the roof fell in was the
famous painting, The Battle Of New
Orleans" valued at $4,000
Governor Blanchard directed the work of
saving valuable papers The legislature
now being in session, the senate will meet
today in the Elks theater.
The capitol is an imposing piece of archi-
lecture on the bank of the Mississippi. II

by fire during the civil war. The present
structure was erected In 1880

LOSS ADJUSTMENT IN FRISCO
New Rule of Underwriters Enables
COMPANIES to Make Payments
at once.

OAKLAND, Cal. June s.-The Board OF
Underwriters Of the Pacific. at a meeting
held here today adopted sweeping changes
in their policy toward loss adjustments
with the passage of the following rule
Beginning with next week the subcom-
mittee's reports on losses win be filed with
the secretary of this board. who will pre-
pare copies of them and distribute them to
the respective officers. Seven days after
this the companies that desire to do so will
proceed and pay their losses regardless of
the action Of any other companies.
This will obviate the calling of any meet
ings of the companies interested.
"The great majority of the companies are
acting squarely," said Secretary Moer-
hardt OF the Board of Underwriters at the
conclusion Of the meeting today. It is
against the INSCRIPTIONS few that we have
to guard. The square majority can now go
ahead and do business"
In the matter of Commissioner VOLTS de-
mand for signatures to the agreement TO
extend time for hling proofs OF loss. the
board decided that here, too, the companies
would have to be separated. leaving each
corporation to take care of such individual
action as It sees it. The board decided
to give no support TO any company which
does not show good faith with its patrons.
