MOVES AGAINST
NEW HAVEN ROAD

Boston, Oct. 4.--Attorney General Dana
Malone yesterday filed an information in
the supreme court against the New York.
New Haven and Hartford railroad, the
allegation beilg that the railroad has di-
rectly and indirectly subscribed for the
stock and bonds OF certain domestic street
railways. In other words, the attorney
general charged that the railroad Is en-
gagged In a kind OF business not author
ICED by It's charter and injunctions in
restraint thereof are sought.
This action came as an echo OF the
merger legislation agitation that filled
with excitement the closing hours OF the
last session OF the Legislature. When the
general court failed TO pass the anti
merger bill urged by Gov. Guild the gov
ernor addressed himself TO the railroad
commissioners. calling attention TO the
New York, New Haven and Hartford's s
street railway holdings. The commission
ers. on the governors initiative, investi-
gated the situation and made a report to
the attorney general.
Although IL has been published that the
New Haven road has practically given up
its street railway holdings as corpora
ton. the attorney general still believes
there are important legal questions in
volved, on which the supreme court ought
to pass, hence the filing OF proceedings
against the road in the supreme judicial
court.

The American WO men

In America a spirit that may be called
cosmopolitan, in contrast with that which
exhausts itself within the four walls OF
home. animates the well nourished, sue
cessful class. Housekeeping must become
matter OF wards and precincts IL IL Is
TO satisfy the craving for motion. The
dominant woman is athletic, and seeks
prestige in following sports like automo-
bling. golf. riding and walking: often she
INDUCES in the half sentimental pleasure
OF handicrafts that belonged TO medieval
Italy or aboriginal Mexico and the prac-
tice OF mild aesthetics that relieves idle
muscles. These women are highly CO.
ordained. with a developed sense of
beauty and an ability TO perform fine and
varied, but not heavy tasks. Industry.
with totHry's rude surroundings. opens no
avenue 10 the exercise OF their delicate
and nervous powers: nor could the fac
tory process reawaken their powerful mo-
tives or redirect their primitive zest of
life now obscured by the sudden phe-
nomena OF leisure. Their new vehicles for
ancient energies will be found in philan-
thropy, politics, municipal government,
child saving-in that social work for the
furtherance OF which these women are so
rapidly multiplying associations and
clubs.-Prof. aPtten in the Independent.

BUSINESS WOMEN FROM
A MANS STANDPOINT

There is a position that is in the gift
OF an institution in St Louis that has
been applied for by a great many wo-
men, possibly hundred having sgnified
their Willingness TO accept It, The gem
tleman- to whom the applications are ad=
dressed, in speaking of the subject the
other day. was moved to express his
opinion of the unbusinesslike methods of
many women.
"Over and over again." he said 1--WE
have received applications in which the
same expressions are used TO the effect
that the lady applying Is In need of some
such situation. And the applications are
usually accompanied or followed by let
ters from persons supposed to have In
fluence, in which they tell us that poor
Miss So-and-So needs just such a lady
like position, as that we have 10 offer
Never, by any chance, have we been in
formed that our institution needs just
such a lady as the one applying; Now,
with us, IL is not what poor Miss So-and-
So needs, but what we need"
1t is just such barnacles as these ladies
in question who fasten themselves upon
the business world and make IL hard for
women who would scorn to plead poverty
as an excuse for their entering into the
competition with other women. A lady OF
culture and refinement entering the busi-
ness world has that much more TO her
credit. provided she does her work IA
well as the woman who is not as fortu-
nate as herself. The woman who thinks
the world owes her n living simply be-
cause she Is n woman has no place In
this woraaday world. and the fact that
poor Miss So-and-So needs situation
should have no weight unless she can
prove that she deserves IL and that the
situation needs her. The world Ia full
OF brave little and big women who have
stepped out from the sheltered hooks and
bravely made the best OF IL, accepting
no favors from anyone. and simply rat
Ting around in their new positions I'm
changed environment, but at least making
an honest effort to hll them acceptably.-

CANAL BY CONTRACT

sion has been reached by Chairman
Shonts OF the Isthmian canal commission,

determination of the canal officials re-
specting the method of construction is ex-
pected in a few days.

struction as soon as possible. so that the
actual work Of construction may be press

1t is understood that the president has
not abandoned his contemplated trip TO
Panama and will not unless the Cuban
situation or some other question should
become so acute as TO require his pres
ence in Washington.

Heart
Weakness

The action of the heart de-
pends upon the heart nerves
and muscles. When from any
cause they become weak or ex-
hausted, and fail to furnish
sufficient power, the heart flut-
ters, palpitates, skips' beats;
and in its effort to keep up its
work, causes pain and distress,
such as smothering spells,
short breath, fainting, pain
around heart, arm and shoul-
ders. The circulation is inn
peded, and the entire system
suffers from lack Of nourish-
ment.

Editor rhe Evening Journal.
The address Of Governor Hayward, ot
South Carolina, to the mob which was
about to lynch a negro was a bit of grim
humor It was a part of the program.
The mob had erected a platform for the
convenience Of the Governor, and His
Exceilency mounted It and delivered his
SPEECH. lie was cheered with enthusiasm.
lie acknowledged TO the men that he felt
jJst as they did with regard to the mat
ter, and applied the words black devil

wretch about to be shot to death. IL
said he realized the dangers TO which the
country women of South Carolina are
constantly exposed, and declared;
would not object 10 cutting the rope 40
hang that scoundrel, provided the law
says So"
In the Same breath the Governor said
It 0as solemn occasion and that he was
vciy much IN earnest. He came to ap-
peal to their manhood, and he spoke OF
tho supremacy and majesty Of the law
which would be shocked by the lynching
After the speech the Governor wit

slightest hope that his presence there

Was this not encouraging them? The

such a speech calculated to impress the
mon with the gravity of the offense o.

It has been long ago demonstrated and
lrcpeatedly confirmed. that Southern mobs
bent on ynching cannot be swayed by
