LITTLE ANXIETY IN BOSTON.

Boston, Oct. 22.-In the complacent belief that
their own houses were secure, Boston bankers
viewed the financial troubles in New York to-
except as bearing the general situation. Local
stocks all followed the decline of the New York
list but the drop was not marked. and in
only few Instances were losses of more than
two points recorded.
In banking circles there was no anxiety what
ever. Local institutions all reported 10 be
IN excellent shape, and their vaults unncum-
bered with heavy loans on speculative securities
One Of the bank presidents said during the day
that Boston had cleaned house" long before

largely dealt in locally than other securites-be-

the last few weeks a general curtailment Of all
loans on stocks

Says Women Reach Too Aiah.

New York.-"It will be to the ever
lasting benefit of American youth
when women will have been elimi.
mated from their educating excepting
in the primary grades. where patience
is required. Here women are prefer
able to men, but where broadness is
required, men are needed"
This astonishing statement was
made by Prof. Edwin r. A. Seligman,
who holds the chair OF economics at
Columbia University.
What are your reasons for your
view?" Professor Seligman was asked.
Because" he answered, "it is fact,
commented on by many, among them
Professor Munsterberg of Harvard,
that the deplorable tendency toward
Termination is becoming more pro-
nounced in our public school ques-
tions'
The occasion for the interview was
the sending out of statement oppos-
ing the placing of women on the same

May Iniure Colorado.

VIII Colorado be obliged to suffer
by reason of the 2-cent fare legisla.
ton adopted in Nebraska, Iowa and Il
linois? asks the Rocky Mountain News.
Denver railroad men are expressing
some fear as to the decision OF the
Western Passenger Association on
summer tourist rates. The time is
near for the annual announcement, and
from Chicago comes an inkling that
rates will be higher than last year, be.
cause the trunk lines expect to get out
of the tourist what they will lose by
reason of 2-cent fares in the three
states named.
While no direct information has
been received on the subject. there is
considerable nervousness among local
passenger men, who are eager that last
seasons basis of rates be maintained.
There was a rate from Missouri river
points and from Chicago of one fare
plus 81. At intervals through the sum-
mer there were occasions when the
tourist from the Missouri river could
buy a round trip ticket for SIS. Dur
Ing last summer the regular one-way
fare to the Missouri river was reduced
from $3.50 to S16.15, so that, IL the
same basis is adopted during the COM
ing summer-one fare plus $2-the
general round trip rate, effective from
about January 1st, and good to return
until October 31st, will be $1S.15, In
stead of $3.50, as heretofore.

Engineers New Home a Model.

New York.-The United States En-.
gineers' Society has opened its new
home. for the erection of which An
drew Carnegie gave s1,500.000. The
formal dedication will take place next
week.
Rising thirteen stories high with a
frontage OF 125 feet, the clubhouse is
an imposing structure, overlooking
Bryant park and the New York Public
Library. The construction is of steel,
covered with two to four inches of por-
GUS terra Gotta, and the columns are
grounded with concrete.
The idea is to bring together the va
rious engineering societies of the
United States where they will have a
common meeting ground and to pro-
vide quarters for the national socie-
ties of mechanical. electrical
and mining engineers, as well
as for such associate socie-
ties as may require headquarters
in New York. While each is to main
tain its individual character. all are
to unite to advance the engineering
arts and sciences.

NEGRO LAckeys FOR CADETS.
coIored Troops Assigned to West
Point-Troubie Predicted.

Washington trouble with
colored troops Is predicted as result
of an order issued by Secretary Taft
detailing T6 men Of the Ninth cav.
airy. colored, for duty at the West
Point Military academy. These
colored troops will relieve the detach
ment of white cavalry, which has
been stationed at West Point in thd
past, and for the first time in the his
tory OF the military academy. the
young cadets will have their horses
and accouterments cared for by
colored troops and will take turns
commanding those troops.
According to the statement made
by the war department the reason
colored troops have been sent TO the
military academy to replace the white
calvarymen there is that the latter
objected to taking care of the horses
used by the cadets as well as their
own mounts. The war department
believes the colored cavalrymen VIII
not object to this extra service.

"Pride Precedes the FaII.-

Chicago.-"There are too many
American people who would rather
ride In a mortgaged automobile upon
borrowed gasoline than walk in the
paths of honorable obscurity in virtu-
Gus unostentation," declared Congress-
man Francis Cushman in an address
decrying the passing of the simple life
in this country, delivered at the Hamil-
ton Clubs 'Appomattox Day" banquet.
The tone of the address was decidedly
pessimistic. Mr.. Cushman said in
part:
Il regret to say that there are some
signs, social, economic and political,
appearing upon our national horizon
to-day that might indicate that the
only thing on earth that will ever ap-
iproach the suddenness of our rise may
be the swiftness of our downfall. Per.
init me to suggest that the tremendous
haste of our national development has
left some weak spots and some rough
places in the structural concern we
have builded.
"A great many of our citizens Just
now seem to be possessed by a fever
ish desire 10 live on the installment
plan, SO to speak. They want to be-
come Immediately possessed of every
thing they desire in the fullness
thereof. and to pay for it at any old
time in the future. To many people
live swiftly, and not enough people
live properly.
There ere too many peorIe whose
sole desire is to cut a dash-who
would rather ride in mortgaged auto
mobile on Borrowed gasoline than walk
in the paths of honorable obscurity in
virtuous unostentation."
