AsPINALL HITS THE CLUBS.

'I think one-half the so called ath- letic clubs in Brooklyn are fake or ganizations," Justice Aspinall of the New York supreme court declared from the bench Monday.
 "They are formed for the purpose of making money. A good college athlete could whip the entire mem- bership of these clubs-one at a time-if given an opportunity. I think that it is an outrage that in Brooklyn clubs of this character should be carried on by young men inflated with liquor and the odor of bad cigars. don't care who they are backed by. l certainly would feel insulted if I were a member of an athletic association and my friend, whom I had invited, was charged 50 cents for admission. This practice is simply an evasion of the law.
 We have the greatest police de- partment in the world. The mem- bers of it try 10 du honest work. The moment an arrest is made for violat- ing the law, howl goes up from these clubs, and an injunction is im- mediately applied for to prevent the police from interfering with their boxing bouts. The hands of the po- lice are practically tied. These in- functions have been so frequently asked for and granted that the police are terrified I believe civil rights should be protected. Athletic clubs conducted upon proper principles should be encouraged and not inter- fered with. If the police are to be restrained from making arrests when these fake clubs violate the law, we might as we'll disband the police and go back to the days of the provincial town constable"
 This arraigument by Justice As- pinall was called forth by an applica- ton made by Lawyer MuIlin for an injunction restraining the police and the sheriff from interfering with the sparring exhibitions given by the Folly Athletic association. Decision was reserved.

Keep The Race Issue Out.

In long and timely editorial
in the St Louis Globe Demo rat
of Jan. 5. that able and fair jour
nal, advises that in discussing
the Brownville unpleasantness,
keep the race issue out. The
Globe well advises that the facts
should be sought out as though
the soldiers were white. What
the people want and demand.
says the Globe, is the law and
the facts in the case as to VIII eth
er or moi the President has
right to do as he did in this case
or not. Negroes and white peo
pie are making it too much Of a
race issue. Who knows that the
soldiers we're dismissed because
they ATE colored. Make your
complaint on the grounds that,
in your opinion, he has done an
injustice and over-ridden his
authority. Even that may not
be SO. Don't be too vituperative
Be calm and be logical and con-
sentative.

 A correspondent of the London Times calls attention to the need of an au. tomatic recording speed for railway trains. Both of the most re- cent important fatal railway casual ties In England were undoubtedly caused by excessive speed at points where the regulations required slow ing down. Engine drivers become reck- less and disregard rules, safely at first, but ultimately meet with disaster If the record of speed during each trip were to be submitted to inspection, there would be less disobedience, and greater safety. Possibly the recording speed indicator has been invented, but 1t appears not to be In use anywhere.

Our "In dian Accent,o

Every little while some English writer appears with the theory that the physique of Americans Is becom- ing assimlated to that of the abor. igines. It Is philologist, Enid Camp bell Dawncey, who now uses this the- ory to account for the peculiaritles of American speech as due to a particu- lar formation of the palate, peculiar originally to the American Indians, but now shared by the invaders" That this Is nonsense appears from the fact that Americans taken In childhood to England speak with an English ac. cent. There can be no question as to the marked divergence of English and American speech, particularly In tho matter of intonation. American speech Is much more mOnotOnous and less spontaneous, the regular fall of the voice at the close of sentences being perhaps bookish rather than conyersa- tional. Thus American speech, among the cultivated, Is apt to be simple, even and logical, like page of print, while English speech Is much more varied and expressive In Its cadences.- Springfield Republican.

There was never a time In the his tory of the earth when the door of op- portunity to the technical branches of the worlds work was so invitingly held open to women as 1t Is to-day. That the gentler sex In the United States Is taking advantage of this enlarged sphere of her activity Is very plainly shown In the figures of the last census.
 Census reports are generally regard ed as a useful but uninteresting accu- mutation of facts, but while this Is true, they render no slight service in estimating the value of important movements According to the census of 1900 there are 305 "gainful occupa- tions' In this country. and of that number women were found in 297, leaving only eight in which, at the time the census was taken, they were not engaged.
 To enumerate these occupations In which woman Is not found Is to argue that she has succeeded in getting Into nearly all. There are, for instance, no women soldiers, sailors or marines. Perhaps If the law was not explici women might be found navigating a battleship or fighting a submarine. But the law she had no hand In framing says "No." When women are given the right to vote there may be another story to tell. Then, there are DO wom- en firemen in any of the municipal de partments, no women street car driv- CTS, no women helpers to brasswork- ers," helpers to steam boiler makers" nor "apprentces and helpers to roofers and slaters"
 It should be noted that in the three classes last named women thus far have only refrained from engaging as helpers or apprentices. though they are found as brassworkers, steam boiler makers and as roofers. A Delaware town has Its woman horseshoer, and women machinists are by no means un- known. Of the 2s,OOO,0 900 women more

Immediately a salmon seized 1t and rushed away upstream, carrying both hook and hat

 India's hunting leopard, the cheetah, has a reputation as one of the most gentlemanly of beasts. Three Calcutta visitors to northern India were out on a tramp when they were oyertaken by a thunderstorm. They espied cave in the side of hill and into It they rushed. When the rain stopped they came out and found a cheetah sitting licking the heavy wet off his waist coat and his paws. 1t was his cave but rather than deprive his visitors of their shelter the polite creature had sat outside In the driving tempest With a friendly new and gracefully wagging his tail, the cheetah bade adieu to his guests and walked with dignity Into his house.
