WOMEN IN BANKING LIFE

When women began a few decades
ago to invade the professions of law
and medicine the new departure was
widely and anxiously debated and
doubts were expressed in many high
quarters whether the body polite
could stand the shock OF such innova-
lions upon established customs. But
the world has gone Oh revolving lust
as 1t did before and society now re-
fuses to admit that ii has been under
mined by the woman doctor or the
woman lawyer. In nearly every line
of business save finance women have
also been distin gushing themselves for
some years. But while thousands of
women are managing their private for
tunes with sound business Judgment
and thousands of others successfully
engaging in commercial ventures. the
number OF professional inanciers of the
feminine gender is still small But
women are not long to be kept out of
finance. Here and there the news
papers tell OF a woman bank president
cashier who is Loyalty supported and
kept in office by the male trustees he
cause OF her proved competency and
fidelity.-Tacoma Ledger.

JAPANESE INVASION OF koRE.

Every day we receive from all parts
OF Korea complaints of Japanese op-
preston. Reading these we cannot hut
join with the Koreans in their outcrv
against the japanese occupancy of this
country. We should welcome the in
auguration of an enlightened govern
ment, but while we are convinced that
Marquis Ito's principal object is to
bring the people under complete SUBJ
lection to his rule, we do not find our
selves able to place any faith in his
promises
Japanese policemen are here by the
thousand and more are coming: the
Emperor has Japanese jaiIers. the FL
nance Department and the Custom
house are in Japanese hands. and
everything is gradually taken away
from the people. We have japanese
time and the railway stations have
Japanese names
While the Japanese Government robs
and Expresses Korea upon large scale.
the japanese people are doing It upon
a small scale. Upon all sides we find
evidence of schemes to benefit the jap
anese at the expense of the Koreans.
On the part of the Japanese Govern
ment there are probable concerted and
carefully thought out plans; the Jap
anese Adventures are satisfied to take
everything that offers and despoil Ko-
reans upon every pportunity-Korean

HAD A BONE IN HIS BRAIN

In the Eastern District Hospital in
Williamsburg is a patient recovering
from compound fracture of the skull.
He is Abraham Shutsky of 35 Osborne
street. and the fact that he was hit by
wooden block twelve by eighteen
inches In size dropped from the roof
OF fve-story building and cut an oo-
long hole through his skull. two inches
long by one and half inches wide.
while a splinter of bone penetrated the
brain. does not In the least disturb
Shutsky. The surgeons are astounded
at his vitality.
When the block fell on Shutskv's
head last Saturday morning. at Metro
polltan avenue and Leonard street, he
did not fall or lose consciousness. In
stead he put his hand to his head and
said he had headache. He walked to
nearby cafe and when an ambulance
surgeon arrived he again said his head
ached. He walked to the ambulance
and at the hospital walked to the op-
Grating room.
1t took the surgeons an hour to re-
move the broken piece of bone and
withdraw the splinter that had pene-
trated the brain itself When this was
done Shutsky was put to bed---to die. as
the surgeons believed. But he did not
die. He improved. and yesterday he
was demanding to know how long he
would have to remain In the place

known until the present Grand Jury
completes it's labors. There Is either
a dearth of good matches available
at the present time or else the match
makers have lost their cunning. The
fights at Dreamland Rink on Friday
night drew just $500 at the gate. OF
this Joe Thomas received $3.50, while
Al Neill and Frank Mcconnell each re-
ceived $225. The misunderstanding as
to what was expected Of Thomas was
unfortunate. as Neil is credited with
defeating Thomas when the latter COM
pletely outpointed him.
The fights Friday night were pre-
scented by Eddie Graney. Willis Britt
the youngest OF the promoters, will be
the boss of the situation this month.
and he promises TO cast the efforts or
his brother promoters in the shade. He
is still seeking a match for Jimmy
Britt, but opponents seem hard to find

either Thompson or Powell at Colma

California. and will remain some days

AN ENRAGED oRANG-ourANe

Losing his temper, evidently by the
grimaces made by a crowd OF women
and children in the primate house in
the Geological Park yesterday after
noon. Dohong. a large orang- outang.
pulled two iron bars of his cage from
their fastenings and sprang through
the opening. armed with one OF the
bars. In a moment all was confusion,
and In the panic which followed women
and children fought each other to get
through the narrow entrance to the
walk. Nobody was injured in the rush
and Dohong made no effort TO assault
anybody.
After he had cleared the building
Dohong continued to brandish the iron
bar and remained master Of the situa-
ton for a half-hour. Keepers Riley
and Engelholm were standing outside
the building when the crowd began to
rush out They assisted the women and
children and then closed both doors
consultation was held and many
plans for the capture OF the building
were suggested and rejected Finally
Riley opened one OF the doors and
looked in. Dohong was standing with
his legs crossed leaning on the iron
bar. He looked peaceful and extended
his arm to the keeper. Riley walked
in and. locking arms with Dohong. led
the orang-outang back TO his cage.
Dohong has been in the park for the
last five years. He was quite small
when he arrived but has grown and
developed wonderful strength. He takes
exercises regularly on the horizontal
bars in his cage. He was the compan-
ion of Ota Benga. an African pygnly,
and since Ota's departure from the
park, several weeks ago. has been out
OF sorts.-New York Herald.

races on three separate days. The
scheme proposed is to present a petit
ton TO the Supervisors OF the different
counties through which the road passes

for the race, one day each week for
three weeks. The course will be sched-
uled. so that the competing cars will
have to make certain points in a speci-
fed time and failing to do this they
will have to drop out. BY this means

points for a certain number of hours.
These hours will be specified and any
