The Decree Proclaimed.

40e OeCTee PROGRAMMED.
The car signed and proclaimed the de-
cree and the miracle was accomplished.
For many generations the women of Fin
land have received the same education as
men; coeducation has prevailed On a much
larger scale than in other European coun-
tries; women have been engaged in differ
ent kinds Of work alongside OF men, COM
petng as well as cooperating with them,
and experience proves that they are compe-
tent to do whatever may be expected Of
them. They have particularly distinguished
, themselves in educational, phiianthropic and
social work.

to foreign readers" said Nine. Gutenberg,
"all of the reasons causes, forces and mo-
tives which have placed the women Of our
little and humble country so far ahead in
civil rights of those of larger countries that
have more ancient civilization. They
have been complicated and in many cases
intangible, but in a great measure the new
rights conferred upon them have been the
result of intelligent appeals to the senti-
mentS of justice
Our victory Is so much the greater since
the proposition has been adopted almost
without resistance" continued Nine. Girl
tenberg. The gratitude that we, the wom-
en- Of Finland feel carries with it a regret
that we are less worthy of this great re-
spo1sibility than the women of other coun-
tries to whom it has been denied, particu-
larly the women Of England and America,

Who Could They Be 7

The following telegram from Lynch
burg to the Richmond News-Leader,
may be interesting: two young men
from Staunton, who were drinking,
were arrested here yesterday after
noon by the police. A grip which they
had entrusted to the care of a negro,
telling him it was dynamite, was also
taken to police eadquarters and when
opened was found to contain over four
thousand dollars in notes and gold and
a lot of valuable jewelry.
Visions of safe blowers arose before
the officers and telegram of inquiry
Was sent to Staunton. This morning
a reply was received saying that the
young men were all right. and the
money and jewelry was their own.
They were released this morning upon
the payment of small fine, which
they declared. under the circumstances,
they were pleased to pay.
