SPRINGS FRAUD ON
MASONIC FRATERNITY

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 5-Mem-
bers and officials of the Masonic fra
ternity in San Francisco and other
large cities of the country have just
unearthed one of the boldest frauds
which ever masquerade under the
name of a fraternal order. Swindlers
in the east have been gaining large
sums of money by the use of series
Of chain letters asking 10 cents from
each Mason for the purposes of build
ing a monument to President William
Mckinley. The money was to be sent
to Judge w. r. Day, at Canton, O.,
but dispatch from Day stated that
he knew Lothing of the chain letter
fraud. The swindlers intercepted the
letters sent containing money.
Letters received here requested Ma
sons to send 10 cents and write three
letters to their friends in the order, re-
questing donations to the fund. Many
thousands of dollars have been cleaned
up by the operators of the daring
swindle. In this city responses were
numerous and extensive.
The postal authorities are working
with might and main to capture the
grafters.
E. H Hart the head of the Masonic
order in California, is one of the vic
tins. of the swindle

MILLIONS ARE
GREAT BURDEN
MRS. RUSSELL SAGE TELLS OF
TROUBLES AND EXPRESSES
SOME OPINIONS.

NEW YORK, Sept. 5.-Mrs. Rus
sell Sage fines her millions a great
burden, because she has so many pitt
full appeals for money that she feels
compelled to refuse. When asked if
she received many begging letters she
sighed and answered.:
"Only about a hundred a day. One
man has written % times about the
same thing, and oh, it is such an i'm
possible thing that he asks. l have
letter here in my hand from a
woman who wants $4,000 with which
to buy a home. Oh, there are SO many
of them, and what can l do?"
She rubbed her hand over her fore
head as if trying to rub away the
pain.
But Mrs. Sage has found some relief
from care. At the age of u she
bought her first automobile. Il take a
so or 60-mile ride several times a
week." she said, land it is glorious.
Why, 1 am in danger OF becoming a
regular scorcher. 1t gives me such a
thrill to fly through the country"
On topics of the hour Mrs Sage has
decided opinions; these she expresses
the sting.
Modern children are not brought
up the way we~old persons were," said
Mrs. Sage. There is altogether too
much disrespect. You hear them say
poppy and dad and 'mommy.' 1t is
not right; they should say father and
mother as we did when we were
young Parents should teach their
children obedience, too, for there is al
together too much laxitX among chill
dren. A child should be taught TO
know it's place, and not to show off
before strangers.
For more than 80 years no one ever
brought a cigar into my house. You
people talk about the tobacco trust,
and yet you support it by buying those
filthy weeds and wreck your lives
smoking cigarettes.
What do l think of women who
smoke? They are not women. They
are mere creatures. They disgrace their
sex They are worse than animals. 1t
is foul habit for any one, but when
a woman does it she unsexes herself.
There is altogether too much at
tention paid to clothes. A woman who
makes gaudy clothes and dazzling
jewels help out her appearance must
be afraid to trust the graces that God
has given her. A woman whose. only
thought is clothes, generally makes
poor wife,"

WOMEN BARRED FROM
STANFORD VARSITY

STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Cal.
Sept. 5.-A number Of senior women
who attended the university last SEM
ester and who returned too late to re-
gister this year, have been refused
entrance, on the ground that the linn
it of 500 had been reached and that no
more women could be admitted until
some dropped out. AS a consequence
old students have been placed or, the
waiting list.
Considerable ~criticism has been
aroused by the fact that two or three
senior women have been kept out.
while enough freshmen have been al
lowed to register to fill the allotted
number.
The ruling that not more than 500
women should be admitted to the uni
versity was made by Mrs. Stanford at
the time of the founding Of the insti-
tuition.

AIDED SCHOOLS.


AIDED SCHOOLS.
Reports from school trustees ana
superintendents in other states in
dicates a serious shortage of school
teachers, although salaries are good
and living conditions attractive.
The FIVE normal schools of Call
fornia have placed al their gradu-
ates and are entirely unable to meet
the demand.
THE SHORTAGE IN THE
TEACHING FORCE OF OREGON
OUTSIDE THE CITIES AND
TOWNS, HAS BEEN GROWING
FOR THE PAST THREE OR FOUR
YEARS.
Not only are teachers scarce for
the country schools. but the figures
published In Washington would seem
to show an impending shortage In
the supply of city pedagogues as
we'll.
Teachers salaries ave been very
largely increased throughout the
state, but Notwithstanding this fact
the number of teachers seems to be
dwlndling. The minimum salaries
in all Pacific coast cities have been
increased in sums ranging from five
to fifteen dollars a month.
In the rural schools of California
very general advance has been made
from salaries Of sixty to seventy dol
lars month to from seventy to
eighty-five.
The rural teacher finds more at
fractions and fewer drawbacks about
her work than characterize similar
employment in the east. The charm
ing climate, the opulence of sur
rounding nature, and the freedom
of the western life, ALL COMBINE
