LADY NAIL CARRIER.
She Does the Work as Well as Any
Man Could.

During the absence of Mr.. Sam
Power, who is now enjoying his an
nual 15-day vacation, his place as
carrier on R. F. D. route No. l is
being taken and filled acceptably in
every way by his sister, Miss Gerald
inc Power. Two years ago she was
selected by Mr.. Power as his suostl-
tute, and was given the appointment
-on the recommendation of Postmas-
ter John r. Cochran.
When the carriers went out on the
routes Tuesday morning Miss Power
drove a big black mule, and she was
not the least bit timid about manag-
ing him She tripped lightly into
the buggy after placing the pouch OF
mail and set off on the 25-mile jour
ney in a brisk trot. She knows the
route well, and she is also well known
by the patrons along the line
Route No. winds in the direction
of Portman Shoals and Is some 70
miles in length, but Miss Power
makes the trip, delivering all mails,
and returned to the Office here in the
afternoon sometimes before any OF
the carriers have put in appearance.
The postofice people say she is one
of the very best carriers in the ser
vice.
Mr. Power is spending his vacation
on his farm, just outside the western
limits of the city, and does not feel
the least anxiety as to the service
his patrons on Route No. A will re-
ceive during his absence. Miss Pow
er has served them before and they
know her and appreciate her efforts.

Governor Forts requisition for ths
return to New Jersey of Elliott A.
Archer, wanted here for four years to
answer seventeen indictments charging
forgeries amounting to more than $7o.-
600, was today denied by Governor
Mead, of Washington, at Seattle, ac-
cording to a dispatch just received.
Governor Mead gave as his excuse.
II is reported. that for four years
Archer had been living an upright life
i'm Seattle, and that II would require
more than the seventeen indictments
10 Offset that fact.
The dispatch from Seattle further
stated that Governor Mead was SO de-
tormned against letting the New Jer-
sey detectives take Archer back NTH
them that he said he would order his
release today unless they could furnish
greater evidence.
Detective Sergeant Frank Tuite, of
police headquarters, and Prosecutor 9
Detective Walter Godfrey presented the
actual indictments and will try 10 pre-
vent the release of Archer.
When Prosecutor Mott was told of
the startling proceeding in Seattle by
an EVENING STAR reporter he ex-
pressed surprise, but would make no
comment. He said he had not been in
formed officially and would say nothing
until he had.
Archer had eluded for four years
sleuths of the United States and the au-
thorities of half dozen foreign coun-
tries, with a Newark woman who ac-s
companied him. He was arrested a
fow weeks ago in Seattle, ! Wash.
charged with embezzling $4,000 from
the National Newark Banking Com
pany and the Manufacturers' National
Bank, Of this city.
At the time of Archer's fight from
Newark he had a brokerage Office in
the Prudential building. where he did
business. His wife, Mrs. Elizabeth
Archer, and her two children, lived at
124 Lincoln Park. Mrs. Archer later left
the city to go to relatives. and her pres
ent whereabouts are not known here.
Archer is charged with fleeing the
two banks with which he had business
transactions by means of forged rail-
road bills of lading.
He was indicted for forgery on sew
enteen counts. and circulars bearing
his photograph were sent broadcast
over the country by the local detective
bureau. The National Newark Bank
ing Company, which held approximate-
ly $4,000 of the original bills of lading.
brought suit against the Lackawanna
railroad, which had released the cars
on counterfeits. and won a verdict for
the amount of Archer's thefts there.
The present complaint against Archer
is signed by Joseph w. Plume. presi-
dent of the Manufacturers National
Bank.

FOOTBALL TEAM
AND POLICE men
IN COURT LINEUP

Fifteen High School football en-
thusiasts, sons of well-to-do parents.
will be lined up against two patrolmen
and a trolley car conductor in a clash
which will take place in the Second Pre-
cinct Court Saturday, December IL.
Judge Herr will act as referee, and the
game will be played according to the
rules laid down by Blackstone.
All the preliminaries were arranged
today. when Bertwal Read, a High
School student was arraigned on the
charge of violating the city ordinance
forbidding passengers to ride on the
rear platform of closed car. Mounted
Patrolman Cronin, Of the Fifth Pre-
cinct, was the complainant, and that
the case will be fought to finish was
evidenced by the fact that ex-Sherif
Nicon appeared for the defendant.
According to the testimony given by
Cronin, young Read was one of a party
of students returning on Warren
street car Thanksgiving Day from a
football game at East Orange. When
Fourteenth street was reached the
patrolman alleges that he requested the
young men to step inside and that they
all complied with the exception of Read,
whom he claims taunted him as the car
started forward.
Cronin gave chase on his horse and
took Read to the Fifth Precinct station.

President John r. Dryden, of the
Prudential Insurance Company, al the
annual meeting of life insurance presi-
dents in the Metropolitan building, New
York city. today, speaking of the un-
just and burdensome taxation of life
insurance interests said:
cit requires no lengthy argument to
establish the principle, In morals and
economics, that life insurance as an in
stitution making so decidedly for hui
man betterment should not be taxed

the same rate as the property of other
commercial institutions.

WOmen's National Civic
Education League.

NEW YORK, Dec. 4.-The attitude
of President Roosevelt on the subject
of woman suffrage was disclosed today
at meeting under the auspices of the
National League for the Civic Educa
ton of Women.
The Rev. DIR. Lyman Abbott editor
of the Outlook, in the course of an adj
dress in opposition to granting the right
to vote to women, read letter dated
November 10 from President Roosevelt,
in which he said:
Personally / believe in woman S
suffrage, but l am not an enthusiastic
advocate of it because | do not regard
it as a very important matter. | am
unable TO see that there has been any
special Improvement in the position of
women in those States in the West
that have adopted woman suffrage, as
compared with those States adjoining
them that have not adopted 1t.
81 am very certain that when women
as a whole take any special interest in
the matter they will have the suffrage
if they desire it.
II believe that man and woman
should stand on an equality of right,
but | do not believe that equality Of
right means identity of function; and
1 am more and more convinced that
the great field, the indispensable field,
for the usefulness of women is as the
mother of the family.
"There are exceptions as regards
both man and woman, but the full and
perfect life. the life of highest happi-
ness and of highest usefulness to the
State, is the life of the man and
woman who are husband and wife,
who live in the partnership of love and
duty, the one earning enough to keep
the home, the other managing the home
and children"

building and loan associations, serves
so unselffsh and laudable a purpose as
life insurance. In return for this serv-
ice to the State, life insurance should
be exempted from a large share of the
taxes which are now imposed upon the
business solely because the accumua-
tions are a matter of record and easily
reached by the tax assessor as visible
evidence of existing wealth.
'It would, however, serve no practical
purpose at this time to raise the pure
iy academic question as to whether in
surance should be taxed at all. for the
exigencies of governmental policy will
continue to demand a fair share of the

eral purposes of public taxation. The
real question is what should be the most
practical and equitable method, and
what should be the maximum rate con-
sistent with the needs of government.

Push.and-PuIl Exercise.

One of the fat-inclined men of New
York has a novel method Of keeping
himself in fine fettle, 1t is a push
and-pull exercise. In the basement OF
his home, which has level concrete
floor, he has installed several wheeled
objects. One is a safe weighing two
tons. Another is box Of chains that
used to belong on Staten island fer
ry boat as balance; it weighs 5000
pounds. Still another is cast-off bull
lion cart that used to do duty in the
assay Office; 1t weighs 1000 pounds,
but may be loaded with pig iron up to
$4,000 pounds. The exercise consists
in pulling and pushing these vehicles
over the floor, and, judging by the de-
velopment of our friend, it is effective.
His general strength is prodigious,
and there is no muscle-binding.-New
York Press.
