A FRENCH VIEW OF HER.

In one of the current magazines. a
Frenchman OF evident culture and keen
observation records his impressions OF
the American woman and her conspic-
uousness in every phase of national
life. Some of his sentences will sum-
Marie his opinion, derived from con-
tact with society in Washington and
other large cities:
From our viewpoint, your social
fabric is all upside down in America"
Unless he (the foreigner) stays
among you long enough to become like
yourselves, he leaves, as 1 am doing,
with the notion that man is merely a
minor factor, a sort of semi-competent
supernumerary in your hustling scheme
of life"
"She (the American woman) is the
head Of the family. hear that, behind
the scenes, she often runs her husband
manildn's business. She Is the chief
spender of every household. She is not
only the arbiter elegantarium of socie-
ty, but the one from whom puny Off
cial man takes his orders in all uues-
tons relating to public or private NOR
ais, Sunday observance and temper
ance. She decides what shall be the
religion of each family, runs the
churches. and one of her number has
become the supreme pontiff of a new
and powerful creed. Her personality is
potent with the meek-souled solons of
the country, and I am told the laws of
the land have been changed so that the
femme sole today owns vaster inalien-
able legal rights throughout America
than anywhere else on earth"
Besides these rather broad fndict-
ments, he drops phrases now and then
such as "bellicose self-assertiveness,
''recklessly persistent proclamation of
feminine independence" "pampered
children" ''over-indulgence in every
whim," mastery female" all applied
to her whom American men adore. This
critical Gaul does admit that the
American woman is naturally fnteln-
gent, beautiful. witty, "alert in the
quality of her brains" but he harks
back eternally to her dominance of the
American man as proof that something
is wrong in her makeup.
Bless the dear Frenchman's innocent
heartl Like all other foreigners he has
been taken in and done for by super
fetal appearances. He is right about
haa,1tu ond nd -
be right about her domination of mere
men: but he must have been associat-
ing with peculiar and limited type to
believe that the American woman is
spoiled.
So long as she is not called on to face
a great emergency calling for subor-
dination of self, for sacrifice and suf-
ering, she may be autocratio and usual
ly is because the American likes her so.
But when trials come or when neces-
sity arises for her to efface herself and
forget her own wishes, no woman on
the broad face of the earth is less
spoiled, more willing to take her share
of the burden and abandon her role as
ruler of mems affairs.
There may be such women in Amer
lea as the French critic describes. but
if there are, they are happily few In
number and of little account in the ma
tional character. The real American
woman is all that is attractive and de-
sirable; and that may account for the
supremacy of her sway which so as
tonishes the foreign observer.

Most campaigns produce an unusual

 Railroad.
 New York, March 7.-"I am ready to make the announcement of a scheme of cooperation between the government and the railways my chief interest" said E. H. Hartman, president of the Union Pacific railroad, on returning to- day from Washington.

We are getting the point of view of tine administration. l am of the opinion that the administration is beginning to realize that it has been a little too radical in It's attitude toward the railroads, and I look to see it's op- t tposition take on more of the spirit of cooperation"
 MT. Hartman declined to talk about the report that he had obtained con- trol of the Reading railroad, Speaking of agitation against corporate wealth he said.
 They, we, all of us, ought to have considered the possible effects of this agitation before it was begun, or be- fore conditions that made it's growth possible were allowed to continue. Il we had all met on common ground and co-operated for our mutual benefit no- body would be worrying over the situ' ation as it is to-day.
 We all made mistake in this. realize the mistake, and l am of the opinion that the administration al Washington is beginning to realize that it has been a little too radical in its attitude toward the railways. Hence forth I look to see it's opposition take on more of the spirit of cooperation I believe the railways can expect to re ceive more even-handed justice.

PERKINS SQUARES HIS

SENDS PERSONAL CHECK FOR
 THIS SUM TO NEW FORK LIFE

Amount Reimburses Company for the Republican Campaign Contribution Made From It's Funds In 10O4--An- nOuncement of Restitution Made by President Alexander F. Orr.
 New York, March 7.-George W. Per kins, former first vice-president of the New York Life Insurance company and now member of the firm of J. P Nor gan & Co.,, has sent to the New York Life his personal check for $54,01919 to reimburse the company for the repub- lican campaign contribution made from it's funds in 1904, in connection with whicfl MT Perkins was recently made defendant on charge of larceny. An nouncement of the restitution of the principal of $4S,5OO and interest to date was made to-day by President Alexan- der E. Orr, of the New York Life, to whom MT. Perkins yesterday, before leaving on a trip to the south, address ed letter inelosing the check. Presi- dent Orr also gave out the letter, which explains itself It is as follows:
 March 6, 1907 MT. Alexander F. Orr, President of
 the New York Life Insurance Con-
 pany:
 Dear sir-In 1904, at the request of the then president of the company, I advanced $4S,5Oo as a payment, on be- half of the New York Life Insurance company, to the republican national campaign committee I did this with the understanding with the president that I should be reimbursed by the company. Subsequently I was so re- imbursed. The payment was made without any thought, on the part of the president or myself, of personal ad- vantage, but solely in the belief that it was for the best and broadest interests of the policyholders, both at home and abroad
 In dismissing the criminal proceed ings instituted against me for accept ing reimbursement the courts have ln- timated that the payment and, there fore, the reimbursement, was not for a proper corporate purpose. I therefore return to the company the amount of money paid by it to me, inclosing here with my check for $54,O19.19 to cover principal and interest.
 Very truly yours,
 George w. Perkins,
