Georgia woman who originated convenient
travelling bag has made money enough to set herself
up in business.
Up to the present it has been the Northwest, the
Middle, and Eastern States that have given the
most active women inventors. The South is behind
in this respect, although the few from that
section who have entered the field have done
ceedngly WE'LL and their inventions have been
eInnently practical. For instance, Alabama
woman farmer devised two important aids to 4gri-
culture; d North Carolina working woman has been
successful with culinary invention; and Florida
has patented a useful car heating appur-
tenance. To the credit Of a Texas woman is to be
placed novel folding tent, while another Southerner
has created finger exercising device OF great value
to musicians. And not alone IN these departments
have women been useful for a California woman
has originated novel method of desulphurizing
ores; while another Westerner has patented several
inventions dealing with the irrigation problem.
Women from the big cities have invented odd dress
patterns, novel ways for adjusting portieres and
curtains, methods Of manufacturing artistic goods,
safety envelopes improved typewriting appliances,
copy holders, and the like.
School teachers have easily fallen into the class
OF orignators of practical ideas and have furnished
valuable educational methods and devices. These
range from kindergarten utilities to school
furniture and include book rests blackboard erasers
school bags, and so forth.
The gradual increase of the number of women

factory workers is evidenced in the factory ap-
planCeS which come improved from their hands.
Again, the far Northwest to household novelties,
like butter workers. brushes for cleaning upholstery
and compositions for kndling fires.
10 enumerate the inventions which have come
from women in the last five years IS to include lock
with three thousand combinations, a letter box for
the outside of houses which shows a signal when
there letter inside for the postman to collect
improved canteen, an apprehension removing wool
from SKIN by electricity, a speedy and profitable
process for making horseshOes, a new aluminium
solder, Improvements IN harnesses and vehicles,
and buttonholc cutting machine by which the
distance between the buttonholes is measured auto
matiCally.
Nothing could be divergent than the SUBJ
iects which have engaged women inventors during

alarm clocks, fire escape device. brake for vehi
cles, a trut press, carpet stretcher, system Of
ventatng buildings, barrel tapping and emptving
device, a hammer guard for firearms, bottle filling
apparatus, and an invalid chair
Undoubtedly the opportunities for higher edu-
cation enjoyed to-day by women responsible for
their great activity in this field. Again the
four million wGrlen workers in this country more
than industrious; they bringing great skill and
fine training to bear their work. Woman has
become dissatisfied with the few learned professions.
She wishes to attest her practical nature; and
the fact that she is dong inventive York of high
order demonstrates her efficiency a practical
worker.

W0RKINGF0RB BAILEY
FRIENDS OF TEXAS SENATOR ISSUE
 A STATEMENT.
Constituents are Asked Not to Be In- ftueneed by PrOcrastinatfon of Legislature and Delay in
 Exoneratiom.

Austin, Texas, Feb. 24.--The follow ing statement was handed to the press tonight from Senator Joseph w. Bai- ley's Headquarters:
 Many friends and supporters of Senator Bailey throughout the State have requested us to notify them when the report of the Investigating com mittee would be before the Legisla- true for final action and in response to the request from such great num- Der we deem it proper to say to them that our information is that steps will be taken in the Senate on Monday looking to immediate and final settle ment of the issue in that body. We are also advised that the sub-com- mittee of the House has about conn pleted its labors; this being the case, the full committee will doubtless re- port to the House sometime Monday its findings. Based on this assumption the report of the House committee will be before the House for consideration on Tuesday morning.
 Tn our opinion this report in It's findings will clearly exonerate Senator Bailey and vindicate him, 1t would seem that no reasonable man ought to deny him the fullest exoneration and the most complete vindication of every charge made against him before he re- turns to Washington to qualify as Sen atOr rom tne CtdtS VI AN@dS AoA @A other six years. However, we do not desire to disappoint our friends or de- ceive the public Senator Bailey has many personal as we'll as political en- emie who will doubtless seek as a last opportunity to undertake to humiliate him at home and injure him abroad by casting their vote against such a resolution of vindication as he VIII De entitled to.
 "There certainly cannot be very committee caring and after the many committee hearing and atfer the many hearings most of them have heretofore bad from their constituents. Delay will, of course, be the parliamentary Svhicb win be to reflect Injury. Loyal Dcnocrats of Texas who have waited natientiy for tho end will, we are as sured, tolerate no further procrasti- nation ."

 This report is said to have reached the prisoner and caused him no little uneasiness today. Mir. Hartridge, how ever was able to assure him that Mrs. Thaw's examination would be complet ed before the defense called other wit nesses. Stipulation to this effect had been given the lawyer said.
 Attorney John E. Gleason. associated with the defense, spent twenty min utes with Thaw in the day. In spite

 That Thaw's fears have some basis In fact was evidenced today in a state ment credited to court official Ac' cording to this man, Mrs. William Thaw, mother of Harry K. Thaw, two days ago approached the District At toruey through friends and expressed her willingness that commission iD lunacy be appointed.

MEAGRE NEWS IS RECEIVED FROM
 HONDURAS.
Minister to Mexico Receives Brief Ca- blegrnm from Ills GOvernment Looks to Washington for
 News Of War.

City of Mexico. Feb. 24.--Dr. Balta- gar Estupinian. Minister to Mexico from Salvador and Honduras tonight re- ceived the following vague cablegram of eight words from the Honduran Government:
 "Nicarasuan forces have invaded Honduras. Fierce battle ensued."
 When the battle was fought. where the encounter took place, what was the ultimate result of the reported strug- gle and how many men were killed and wounded is left to conjecture
 Thls is the first word pr. Estupinian has received from the Government Of Honduras for several days, although he has sent several cablegfams of inc quiry. No further Central American news has reached this capital during the past twenty-four hours, although the details of a battle are hourly ex- pected.
 It is said in some circles that further news of the war will be gleaned from Washington sources as it is thought that that capital from now on will be in closer touch with the region of act i've hostilities than Mexico.
