In view of the fact that the few large
institutions conducted on the plan of an

lstence. There is another small class OF
Doarding-houses so nearly approaching
the general idea of home as to be gem
orally prosperous, and there are thou
sands Of men and women in need OF
such places.
L believe that every such house would
prove a money-maEing proposition. and
the hitting up would not be a staggering
outlay Of money. 1t is possible to keep a
house in good repair and in absolute
cleanliness without using much money,
and II is quite as easy to make every
room comfortable and attractive as to
give & cherries atmosphere with
corresponding discomfort. 1t REQUIRES
thought and interest and some taste to
do this, but the result warrants the ex-
penditure
Every boarding should have \
reception room for the use of every in
mate. 1t should be for no other DUR

In hospitable fashion. Where there Is
such a room now it is often turned into
a sleeping apartment by the short-sight-
edness Of women who cannot see be-

wonder the workers who have tn live

FROM WOMAN'S POINT OF VIEW
By BETTY BRADEEN.

1t is hardly fair to have ones husband
come home at night with fresh skin. for
which he paid his barber % cents. when
the best we women can do is to pay down
81 for the same result. It is little wonder
that men remain young long after the
wives OF their age have withered up. They
can have four treatments to our one and
get four times the benefit.
Men are indulgent to themselves. I am
discovering When they have a headache
they have their head rubbed till the pain
disappears. They have a cold and slip
into a Turkish bath, where they have an
enjoyable rest and lose the cold. They
patroniza manicure parlors because it
saves the trouble of keeping the nails
short and prevents ragged edges Of skin
about them. They eat a good dinner and
drive away the memory of their troubles
in cloud Of tobacco smoke, and spend
long,l delicious hours doing nothing and
doing It right comfortably. on couch or
IN the depths of an easy chair, with feet
elevated to a level with the body. In a
word, they rest for the next days battle
with the world.
And the women! Bless you. they have
no time 10 rest. They have clubs and So
cial duties and shopping and sewing, both
necessary and unnecessary. They won't
lie down and they prefer rockers TO easy
chalrs II is vulgar to elevate their feet
and morning. noon. and night they are
stud .ing how to make one dollar buy two
dollars worth Of merchandise They will
tell you that the men of the family EXPECT
them 20 do it, and generally ii is the
truth. This is due TO the faulty bringing
up of boys, so the fault falls back upon
women.
Only in families where the spending
money is evenly divided between hus-
band and wife do you find eare-free
women: yes, and in families where the
feminine members have spendthrift
habits. There are couples which trudge
along comfortably together but they are
few indeed. Life is made simple for men
because they insist upon il. and women
find it complex because they are too
weak TO rebel 10 some purpose The aver
age women will spend her evening in
sewing while her husband enjoys himself
in Sinking work. She says that the day
is too short for her manifold tasks. so
she robs l&rself OF the tim she has
earned just as surely as her husband for
housekeeping is a business to whose corn
plications sensible men cannot shut their
eyes.

Through a mistake, or rather the ill-advsed
of the words Harlem Savings Bank" a
caption over newspaper picture of the Dollar
Savings Bank run was caused on the Harlem
institution that lasted until o'clock When the
doors opened eager crowd of three hundred
mostly women was waiting. But the bank was
ready for any emergency. and paid quickly
the tellers could work. AS time passed the
crowd grew finally to such proportions that the
services of twenty policemen were needed 10
traffic open. All demands were promptly paid
up to the closing time when there was line OF
perhaps one hundred disappointed depostors
OF course, those who drew their money sacr.-
feed their interest.
William Z. Trotter, president of the bank, said
that 1t was in good condition. with cash enough
on hand to meet all demands. A Harlem
chant displayed his conidence>i in the bank by
depositng $4,000 in cash.
There in line about eight hundred de-
positors when the Dollar Savings Bank opened

no fear They going right on paying as

DIR. Hartman IntimateS 1t WiU Sell
Holdings IN Other Roads.

E. H. Hartman practically confirmed yester-
day rumor current in financial circles that the
Union Pacific Company was considering the
segregation of the investment assets of the road
from its transportation business. The report
was also confirmed in other authoritative quar-
ters in Wall street
This is not the time to discuss matters not OF
Immediate and imperative Importance" said Mr..
Hartman when asked about the matter. THE
interest and attention of the business world
and must be taken up in other and more impOr-
tant directions. 1 will not deny that this matter
has been discussed for some time. and there is
no question but that the Union Pacific is in
position to make a valuable distribution to its
stockholders if it should prove desirable to do
so at the proper time. You may rest assured
that the whole matter will be settled upon
proper basis when the time comes"
In we'll informed quarters Mr.. Harriman's re-
marks construed to mean that he would
at some time in the future dispose in one way
or another of the stocks of the various rail-
roads. including Illinois Central. ST. Joseph &
Grand Island Baltimore &, Ohio, st. Paul,
Northwestern. and New York Central which
purchased by the Union Pacific more than
year ago with the money obtained from the
sale Of Great Northern and Northern Pacific
The par -'alue Of these stocks was at the time
approximately $95,0O00OO. 1t is not believed
that when tho matter is finally taken up these
stocks will be disposed OF in the open market
While Mr.. Hartman did not make a positive
declaration that the business OF the Union Pa
cifc would in the future be confined strictly
TO the transportation of passengers and
freight, his statement understood in Wall
Street indicating that this would be prob
able Coming at the time OF a general feeling
OF uncertainty, Mr.. Harrimans announcement
caused a favorable impression.
Speaking of the general outlook in the busi-
ness world. Mr.. Hartman said:
THE foundation of our business enterprises
Is sound and tho fair treatment of such inter
ests and quick action by the United States
Treasury viii induce the return of money to
its natural channels and relieve the situation"

among Secretary Cortelyou's callers yesterday.
After leaving the Sub-Treasury. Mr. Herrick said
THE country never more prosperous" he
said. there IS absolutely reason for alarm
It is not analogous to tho trouble of 1893 at ALL
for at that time manufacturers and others engaged
in industrial enterprises had their plants under
heavy mortgages. To-day the situation is entirely
different. Manufacturers their plants
and discountIng their bills. There is no
fear of a depression throughout the United States
and confident that the situation in New York
will be cleared up"
Henry Clews said Of the situation: "The people
do not stop think what IT means for the Secre-
tary Of the Treasury of the United States un-
load SIS 10000 New York city banks. To me, as
to many It is significant of but thing-that the
government faith IN New York City banks is alb
solute. The man who draws $500 or $500 from his
bank in the face Of this situation commits alb
surd mistake"
r. Ross Appleton. president of the Fourteenth
Street Bank said yesterday THE whole banking
structure rests upon public confidence. and that
undoubtedly has been shaken. At such time the
public does not discriminate closely but is apt TO
increase the seriousness Of the situation by hasty
and unconsidered Withdrawals. The combined
hanks of the Clearing House Association have to-
day the enormous of s25e0oo,C00 lying IN
