A Task for American Women.

! The editor of Ha-per's Bazaar. writ
ing OF the choice which women OF
fashion are compelled to make as
whether they will be wives or moth
ers. says that the absorption Of Amer
lean men In business interests tends
to reduce the dignity of American ia
therhood to level with the paternity
Of the savage. The supreme mission
of the American wife is. therefore, to
provide for the higher education Of
the American father. To win man
from exclusive attention to the sordid
concerns of business. the dissipations
Of pleasure-seeking. and apply him to
the Infinitely profitable. infinitely en-.
1oyable work of participating in the
care. the physical. mental. moral de-
relopment OF his children. that Is a
cure which American women are
everywhere. under all circumstances.

clean air Is a necessity for the sleep

In country homes not having pipes,
the supply of fresh air is just as nee.

by some, is never as heavily laden
with poison as that which is breathed
over and over and over in close con-
fines. Even the bed-clothing becomes
saturated and tainted, and carpets,
curtains, and all draperies catch and
hold the poison, just as they do the
smells from the kitchen or from cigar

and washings in order to purify them
from the smell" The idea of hav-
ing exclusively woolen bed-clothing Is
that exhalatlons of the body may es-
cape il the same way that the gas
does, and wcolen clothing being por-

becomes permanent, clinging even to

to grow the hardy types of climbers
in the ground, they will be found far
superior to boxes planted In the win

box is usually eight inches to a foot
in depth, and the same in width, the
length varying. 1t should never be-
less than six inches deep. 1t should
be made of seven-eighths-inch lumber.
and should conform in shape to the
window or veranda to which 1t is at

the veranda railing or rest on brack-

Reports from stricken Chile are still meagre
and incomplete, but while they give no definite idea
OF the loss OF human life they are omnously
indicative OF frightful catastrophe The first
direct dispatch from Valparaiso places the number
of dead at 1000, while reports from surrounding
towns and villages ruined by the upheaval, make
reasonably certain that the total death roll will be
more than double that number
This disaster is one OF the most terrible of
modern times and all the more tremendously impress
sive because OF its quick following on that at San
Francisco 1t is not comparable in its harvest Of
death with that at Lisbon one hundred and fifty
years ago when 10000 people perished, however
greater number lost their lives when Calves
ton was wave swept than are now dead at Val2a-
raiso and yet still larger number were victims Of
the Mt Petee eruption but in population not ex-
ceedng 10000, even the smaller number Of fatali-
ties constitutes an appalling percentage OF NOR
tality.
When complete communication with the
wrecked city has been established it will be possible
to form some nearly adequate idea OF the extent
of the ruin. In these days when each part OF the
world is in close and almost instant touch With
the rest of the world, the present almost absolute
paralysis of the stricken section on the Pacific coast
owing to the destruction of telegraph telephone
and railway lines, is phenomenon as startling as it
is deplorable.

A DOUBLE-FARE HOLD-UP
Editor OF News-Democrat:

Eutor or News-Democrat
Permit me TO call your attention 10 a
growing abuse OF Its privileges by our
rapid transit corporation. the street rail-
way monopoly. I went on an excursion
yesterday and the steamer got back abou,
lO:40. The railroad, In its eager desire for
the nickels. had several cars stationed
near the wharf to bring the excursionists
up 10 the Union Station or to Market
square, where they might connect with
other cars. My car reached Market square
about lo:45. The conductor began TO col
lect fares almost before we left the
wharf but not 10 give transfers. his in
strucuons being evidently to get all the
nickels first and let the people take their
chances at getting transfers.
After he had garnered every possible
five cent piece. by which time we we're
close 10 Market square. he came around
again 10 give transfers TO those OF us
who had asked for them when he was
around the first time. IL was then l04s
and the transfers he gave out were punch
ed for 9:$. They were also punched in
the emergency" place. and when his at
tention was called 10 the fact that they
were an hour late he said The emer-
gency punch makes IL all right"
caught an Auburn and Eden Park cal
at IL o'clock from Turks Head and the
conductor refused 10 accept the transfers
for myself and son and | had TO pay two
more fares. This was probably the cype-
riencc OF other passengers on the six OF
seven cars that brought us TO the heart
of the city and possibly the company
gained in this way $50 or more 10 whicn II
was not entitled.
If the conductor who gave us the emcr-
gency transfers that were wrongly punci-
ed for time made a mistake AMI refused
10 rectify IL why should we ne made TO

that hour and believed that IL made II

rather than have TO tear up those wrong

and get himself into trouble with the

CHEAP SUBTERFUGE.

The so-called concession OF the
Brooklyn Rapid Transit Co. to the peo-
pie, who have been outraged beyond
be a concession. but is certainly not a
recognition of popular rights.
The company offers TO give to each
one OF its passengers who pays a fare,
the legality OF which Is still in con-
troversy, a certificate which In the dim
and distant future will allow that pas
senger TO recover the overcharge IL the
court OF appeals shall declare the ive-

IL Is the same game which the Consili-
dated Gas Co. attempted TO play upon

clared illegal. For the Brooklyn Rapid
Transit TO issue receipts cashable at

gather into Its Golfers some thousands

trust has disappears Being responsible
itself for the shortage OF the crop. II
cannot plead that condition as a bar to
Its indictment and trial for unlawful
conspiracy to gouge the consumers OF
ice.
Judge Rosalsky is said to be insist
Ing on the Indictment OF the trust off,
GERS on the plain evidence which has
caused several other communities to
bring the ice monopoly to bar. The
testimony is too easily had for District
Attorney Jerome to defeat the purpose
OF the grand jury II II should determine
