RIVAL OF CASSIE CHADWICK.
Woman Who Dupes carnesie's Former
 Partner Disappears.

Pittsburg, Feb. 15.-Francis T. F. Lovejoy, former partner of Andrew Carnegie, gave a S100,0o0 mortgage on his $750,000 mansion here and received in return S1 "hand money" and noth- ing more. Mrs. Mary E. Cochrane, to whom the mortgage was given through third person, is missing, and the story of her remarkable career rivals that of Mrs. Cassie Chadwick.
 In obtaining tntroductions to men of wealth and prominence Mrs. Cochrane used letters from former United States Treasurer Ellis H. Roberts, Congress man Bourke Cochran, Dolphin NJ. Del mas, Mrs. Hetty Green, the late John J. Wickham, justice of the superior court of Pennsylvania, and a dozen judges of prominence in and about Pittsburg. Some of these letters are undoubtedly genuine, others forgeries.
 Mrs. Cochrane's downfall came when

she went to local bank with a Love- joy mortgage and large number of shares in the Amador Queen Mining company of California. She wished to borrow $45o,000. When she was told the directors would have to pass on the loans she attempted to borrow S35 on her own name. This aroused suspicion, and an investigation quickly followed. At once Mrs. Cochrane dis appeared from her luxurious apart ments at Mckee and Cable place, Oak land.

TWO SIDES TO THE QUESTION.

Lady teachers of Shelby county, in
summer normal session, adopted reso
lutions showing their positions on
some political questions. They went
on record, too, of favoring an annual
tax of five dollars on all old bache,

used in supplementing the salaries of

Good for the lady teachers. They
are frank, which is a commendable
trait, even if it is poor politics. In
urging the laying of taxes upon one
class for the benefit of another class,
naming themselves as the beneficial
ries, the lady pedagogues of Shelby
manifest a candor which would bar
them from the platform and resolu
tons committee in any political con-
vcntion. This shows what folly it
would be to give woman the ballot.
She would either spoil it or it would

The lady teachers perceive that pol

they want their share of the loot If
they had the ballot they could scarce

The time is at hand when farming
will be reconed as one of the learned
professions. There is no vocation in
which brains and good judgment can

form which is conquering nature, rev.

other generation usher in the golden
