Her Special Code for Conduct Toward

A writer in Pail Mall Magazine says
that we'll known American warder
said to him: II have been III prisons,
for men and in prisons for women.
Discipline in the former is child's play
compared with the latter. AS soon as
a man realizes there is no use In re.
sisting he gives in. But the women,
even when we put them in straight.

at least one finger and to agitate that
in rebellious manner!"
In the matter Of conduct toward
husbands and consideration due to the.
better half" there is an especial code,
of honor. It has the stability that

code that a man would observe toward
another man, nor which woman
would employ toward any human-ex.
cept her husband. This code includes
the right to search pockets, consult
notebooks, open letters, read those al.
ready opened. 1t includes the right to
confound household and personal &C.
counts, to use on self the money in.
tended by the master of the house for
paying bills. This system is not fire.
quently practiced, perhaps, and less
frequently admitted, no doubt, yet we
remember one newly married woman
who announced as little triumph:
when buy myself something don't
like I Just sell it to the house!"
The peculiar indulgence which thu
conjugal state seems to call for as re.
CARDS the weaker sex In matters of
honor more or less delicate was thus
strikingly summarized by a philan.

who in a fit Of rage or jealousy had
killed man. In relating to me the
case the philanthropist concluded sad.

PAPER.

Washington, Oct. Postmaster
General Meyer has suspended the pay
ment of all moneys due from his de
partment to the Hartford Manufacture
ing Company of Hartford, Conn, and
has submitted the matter to the at
torney general for such further action
as may be deemed proper. The Hart
ford Manufacturing company up tc
July last supplied the stamped en-
velopes and newspaper wrappers sold
at postoffices
Chemical analyses of samples have
disclosed that the composition of the
envelope paper has been below the re-
quirements of the contract, and &C
cording to the computation of experts
the company in the last four years has
wrongfully benefited to the extent of
about $425,O00.
Makes Admission.
One of the manufacturers who sup
piled paper to the company has admit
ted that his firm furnished cheaper
material than specified in the contract
and that it was so made at the in
stance of the Hartford Manufacturing
company.
Suspicion arose several months age
that the Hartford company had been
using inferior paper for some time
and very extensive examination was
required to determine just how long
the specifications had been disregard
ed. During the investigation new
contract was entered into for supply
ing stamped envelopes and newspaper
wrappers with the Mercantile Corpo
ration of Dayton, Ohio, beginning with
July 1.
Nearly Monopoly.
AS the Hartford company had car
ried on successive contracts for nearly
thirty years, naturally there was no,
other plant in existence to do this par
ticular class of work, but the guaran.

ability to obtain a plant, paper, ma

Job Worth Millions.
The two concerns mentioned were
the only competitors for the new con.
tract, the bid of the Hartford compa.
ny being s5,537,635, figured on basis
of the estimated quantities required
during the four years of the contract
term, while that of the Mercantile
corporation was $162,251 less.

company furnished envelopes up to

TO CONVENTION.

Memphis, Tenn, Oct. 6. - With

personages of the Mississippi valley.
The president arrived on the steam
er Mississippi shortly after 1 o'clock.
The bluffs overlooking the river were
packed with spectators, who gave the
chief executive warm welcome.
Immediately following the steamer
Mississippi was the steamer Alton,
carrying visiting governors and other
notables. When all had landed the
president was conducted to a carriage
by Gov. Patterson Of Tennessee and
Mayor Malone of Memphis, and an I'M
posing parade was begun.
Mass Of Color.
The president was continually cheer
ed throughout the march. The city
was waving mass of color. When
the presidents carriage turned into
Main street he was saluted by regi.
ment of Confederate veterans who,
from that point, acted as bodyguard.
The president rose and warmly greet
ed the grizzled warriors. Despite a
lively downpour of rain, which lasted
until noon, the streets were damned
with citizens.
Arriving at the Auditorium rink,
where the deep waterways convention
is being held, President Roosevelt
alighted and after chatting with sever
al friends assembled the platform.
Praises confederates.
The huge structure filled up rapidly,
and when Gov. Patterson arose to pre-.
sent the president an immense assem-
blage greeted him.
President Roosevelt departed from
his printed speech in several in.
stances. The Confederate guard of
honor, he said, was a touching sight,
especially as these old Confederate
soldiers carried the flag Of the Union.
II any one wanted to know how they
would fight for that flag let him ask
the boys in blue how they fought
against it. He said with emphasis
that he was as much the president of
the South as of the North. He said he
was half a southerner, and when he
told of two or three of his uncles hav-
ing worn the gray he was tremendous
ly applauded.
Favors crockett's Motto.
Speaking of a deep water channel
from the gulf to the lakes, the presi
dent said he favored rapid improve
ment of the Mississippi river.
Like Davy Crockett, the great Ten
nesseean," he said, Il favor the motto
BE sure you are right, then go ahead,
and this deep water problem is almost
up to the 'go-ahead' stage, but we want
to be sure about it,"
When the president closed his ad-
dress he was driven rapidly to his
train at the Missouri Pacific railroad
station and departed at 5 o'clock for
Lake Providence, La, for hunting

Chicago, ILL.,. Oct 6.-That President
James A. Moffett of the Standard Oil
