Babylon" was also distinct success"
The liberty of American women has
become so universally accepted a fact
that 1t has passed into a byword of
comparison to the older nations
The puritan idea has become at
last transmitted, through the light and
luxury of wealth and the diffused in
fluence of widely scattered location,
into basis of fine responsibility and
a finer courage. From Virginia and
the more southern states we have a
fluent charm, soft womanliness and
grace both lovable and admirable, but
regrettably lessening with the disap-
pearance of the characteristic life of
the south.
1t is too early to attempt an analysis
of the western idea of American wom-
anhood, for the west, from Cleveland
and Chicago outward, is but a system
of eastern colonies with only one gen.
eral and determining condition, and
that is liberty, under which individual
traits, traditions and tendencies find
their full opportunity of development.
These various ideas, historical as
well as local, in their origin have pro-
duced the types of women thus largely
indicated in our country. Profoundly
felt and almost universally operative,
beneath these varying influences, re-
mains the old-world orientalism that
women should be first charming, again
charming and always charming. Char
acter, logic, reason and other stern
requirements of life are for the most
part left to develop in some mysteri-
GUS way, INTENDED.
The desirability of thorough col
legiate education is as a rule not &C
cepted voluntarily by the solvent por-
ton of our national community. The
female universities are demanded by
the future breadwinners among wom-
en- and supported by them. This is an
almost universal fact and it has a
double significance. 1t is at once a
promise and a reproach In plain
words, the American girl is superb
cially educated except when she is
compelled to earn her own living.
There is a shallowness of foresight so
universal, a deficiency of logic so Sc
rious and so ominous in this certainly
universal inclination on the part of
American parents that one may well
stop and inquire its reason.

clement. The third trial of Abe Ruef, the dethroned political czar of the city, has just been started after sixty seven days spent in impaneling jury.
 It is not believed that anybody will be able to step into Mir. Heney's place and take up the prosecution, as Mir. Heney had all the threads of the case in his hand
 It was in the presence of most of the jurors in the case and while MT. Heney was sitting at the prosecutors table in the superior court that he was shot by Morris Haas, saloon keeper and ex-convict, who was accepted on the jury in the first Ruef trial and whose past Heney exposed
 While Heney was conversing during a ten minute recess with Chief Clerk McCabe, Haas came from among the spectators. He approached Heney and, placing revolver against Heney's left cheek, fired.
 Instantly the ourtroom was the scene of the greatest excitement. Sev- eral bystanders seized Haas, while others hastened to the relief of He nay, who was caught by those nearest him as he fell forward. the blood strea aming from the wound.
 After MT. Heney had been removed from the courtroom Judge Lawlor call ed court to order and had Ruef placed in custody
 Haas had at first been thrown down and held by those spectators who seiz- cd him until the police came and ar rested Haas. He said he shot Heney because Heney ruined him by expos ing the fact that he was an ex-convict.
 Haas in statement said.
 II am the wronged man. do not care what becomes of me now. have sacrificed myself not for my own hon. or, but for the honor of those who are situated like myself. I would not have brought my four children into the world to bear such a brand If I had known that the fact I was former convict would become known. Heney ruined me. That is why I shot him.
 Heney said today. T will live to prosecute Haas and Ruef.r

GOVERNOR CHARLES E. MAGOON. terly opposed by the Liberals for ai- legged complicity in the murder of En- rique Yilluendas, the Liberal leader, in 1905 at Cienfuegos. --.
 The two aspirants for the presidency of Cuba are General Mario Menocal, candidate of the Conservative party, and General Jose Miguel Gomez, head of the Liberals. Their running mates are respectively Dr. Rafael Montoro and Alfredo Zayas. The nomination of Senor Zayas for the vice presidency is the result of a coalition of the Miguelista and Zayasta factions of the Liberal party, the two men having formerly been bitter political foes.
 There is practically no difference iE the platform of the two parties, bott having as their chief blanks the preser vation of the republic, equal rights fol all citizens, the encouragement of agri culture and commerce and the mainte' nance of friendly relations with the United States. The struggle is frankly for the possession of the government and the control of public patronage.
 The indications are for victory foI the Liberal ticket. Within the past twenty-four hours there seemingly has been marked depression in the conf dence of the followers of General Ma. rio Menocal and Dr. Rafael Montoro. the candidates of the Conservatives.
 General Menocal in an interview claims that the Conservatives will car. " the provinces of Pinar del Rio, Ma. tanza, Santa Clara and Camaguey, with a total of fifty-nine electoral votes. He comedies the province of Havana to the Liberals, but places Oriente in the doubtful column. The Liberals claim all the provinces with the exception of Pinar del Rio and MatanZas
