ROME, August 1O.-Two Spaniards have

their luggage was heavy. One Of them

that after all the man might be telling the
truth for the purpose of throwing him off

them to take it off the train. From that
time on ever since the police have been
keeping an eye the Spaniards, fearing
them as suspicious persons. When they
finally reached Rome it was noticed that
one of the men always remained at the
hotel with the mysterious luggage The
men finally claimed that they were trying
to sell a coin collection. The suspicious Of
the police obtained for the men great deal
of advertising and no little notoriety. 1t
was found that the collection of coins was
very large and very valuable. Among other
things in the collection was the map used

MARIE ooRELLI AGAIN.
Old Lady Severely cattigates Mere
Man

Special Cablegram to The Star.
LONDON. August 10-Speaking Of the
relations Of the two sexes Miss Marie Cor
elli has written a scathing indictment. Of
mems self1shness In an Introductory note to
the new volume Of stories which she
has written, entitled "Delicia and Other
Stories
ITO put 1t bluntly and plainly" Miss Cor
ELI writes" a great majority Of the men
of the present day want women to keep
them.
1T is not a manly or a noble desire: but
as the kind Of men mean have neither the
courage nor the intelligence to fight the
world for themselves 1t Is, suppose, nat
ural to such inefficient weaklings that they
should-seeing the fierce heat and contest
Of competition In every branch Of modern
labor-gladly sneak behind woman's pet
t1coats to escape the general fray.
But the point to which wish to call the
attention of the more thoughtful Of my
readers is that these very sort Of men (when
they have secured the ignoble end Of their
ambition namely the rich woman to live
upon, under matrimonial sufrerance) are
the first to run down women's work. wom-
ems privileges, women's attainments and
womens honor. The man who owes his
dinner to his wifes unremitting toll is often
en-, their frivolity and general incapacity.
THE woman who paints great picture
Is 'unsexed;' the woman who writes great
book is 'unsexed;' in fact, whatever a wom-
an does that is higher and more ambitious
than the mere act of finging herself down
at the feet of man and allowing him to walk
over her makes her, in mans opinion, I'M
worthy of his consideration as woman; and
he fits the appellation 'unsexed' to her with
an easy callousness which is as unmanly as
1t is despicable.
Were they told that certain artist who
painted a certain great picture was young
and beautiful woman they would never be-
leve 1t; II some one volunteered the infor-
nation that the sculptor whose massive
marble group of classic figures adorns one
OF the galleries In Rome was a woman
whose smile was ravishing and whose figure
was a model for Psyche they would shrug
their shoulders increduousy. No. no."
they would say, clever women are always
unsexed-give me the barmaid, the shop
girl, the living picture, the aerial gymnast-
give me anything rather than a pure, finely
cultured, noble minded woman to be the
mother Of my sons!'

TO DRAFT A CURRENCY BILL
A Sub Committee Of Five Appointed
for the House.
A Conference Developed the Fact That
Members Were Nearer Together
Than Had Been Expected.

Washington, Dec. 5.-The newly ap.
pointed house committee on banking
and currency held its first meeting
Wednesday, spending two and half
hours In discussing the currency CUES
ton In several of its phases. At the
conclusion Of the meeting several Of
the members stated that as q result
Of the conference the members Of the
committee were now nearer together
than they ever have been before, not
withstanding the same men-with the
exception Of three-composed the com
mittee during the seth congress.
The only definite action taken at
this initial meeting was the authoriz-
Ing Of the chair to appoint a sub-com.
mittee Of Ave to draft and submit
currency bill to correct the present
financial situation. There will be no
hearings before the committee until
the subcommittee has finished it's
task and the completed draft is In
the hands Of the chairman.
The recurrence OF two phases Of
the currency question marked the con-
ference. These were: The creation
Of elasticity In the currency and the
disposition Of reserve balances In ma
tional banks. The committee was ap-
parently agreed that II will sanction
no move to increase the bulk Of
paper money, but win confne itself
to the consideration Of the best means
Of injecting elasticity. The plan Of
providing for the issuance OF national
bank credit notes, which can be In
stantly drawn into circulation when
general conditions require an In
creased currency. was passed and
discussed at some length.
