ALL VARIETIES OF NERVES
BELONG TO WOMANKIND
OF RECENT YEARS

To the nerve specialist has been
added the feminine neurotic specialjzer-
the many-sided victim Of the strenuous
life. The woman who was formerly in
definitely described as a bundle of
nerves" has almost disappeared. Pres
ent-day women rarely suffer from more
than one condition of nerves" at the
same time Most Of those who dwell
afrectionately upon their nerves can
trace them 10 a sOurCe-sOcial, domestic
sporting, financial. or philanthropic.
Those are divided and subdfvided into
morning, afternoon. and evening nerves.
There are nerves for which dramatists,
nov alists. and pianists OF temperament
are responsible; motoring. golfing,
bridge playing and house party nerves;
nerves which fiuCtuate with the prices
of stocks nerves which are the out
come of charity matinees, bazaaTs, and
philanthropic canvassing. and nerves
which vibrate when political cam
paign is on.
The advantage which the woman who
makes a speciality Of her nerves" holds
over her vaguely Merry sister IS that
she need never become a neUrOtiC bore
with the wide field of nerves which IS
before her.

BETTER CONDITIONS
FOR SERVANTS,
THEIR PLAN.

Renewed efforts will be made by the
Housekeepers' Alliance to effect a def
mite plan OF work by which the servant
problem may be solved in the most adj
vantageous manner, both to housekeep-
ers and employees. The regular quarter
ly meeting or the alliance was hello yes.
terday afternoon In the lecture hall Of
the Public Library. and. through a Sc
rIes Of resolutions looking toward the
adjustment OF many difficulties which
have heretofore confronted housekeep-
e-s, the causes leading TO these troubles
were outlined. Officers OF the alliance
are.
President, Mrs. T. L. Cole; vice pTesi-
dents. Mrs David J. Brewer. Mrs. II. b.
T. Macfarland. Mrs. John r. Mclean.
Mrs Archibald Hopkins. Mrs Mary 5.
Lockwood secretary. Mrs. Carrie YOrke.
and treasurer. Mrs. Russell Taylor.
The resolutions adopted. which will be

complish better conditions and a more

and definite reference system. better
sanitary conditions and training. and n
proper recognition Of long terms OF serv-

taken, looking TO a definite course OF
training for oOlored women who desire
TO become capable domestics. These are
TO be found in a school which has been
established at Eleventh and L streets
northwest, which Is being equipped with
departments devoted 10 every branch Of
domestic training. The laundry, which
will be known as Tho Alliance Hand
Laundry already is in operation. and
the girls VINO are now at work there are
earning enough money 10 pay their tut
tion ia the training school
An effort win be made to encourage
houseKcepers TO keep a record of their
servants. IN order that those Of long
service may receive recognition, not
only from their own employers. but from
the alliance. In this way members OF
the organization believe that dOmestics
will be encouraged TO make good rec
ords-
Another material step toward the s0lu-
ton Of the problem is the suggestion
that hcusekeepeTs acqUaint themselves
with the home conditions Of their en-
ployes. and do what they can 10 i'm
prove these conditions.

Seventeen graduates OF the Training
School for Nurses at the Government
Hospital for the Insane were launched
upon their professional careers last
night by Secretary James Rudolph Car
field, at the commencement exercises of
the school. The exercises were held in
tho chapel OF the Center building.
Secretary Garfield was introduced by
Or. w. A. white. superintendent of the
hospital, and was ent,u siasticaIIy re
celved. He contrasted the difference in
the manner Of treating the insane nifty
years ago and today
Formerly they were locked up, and
IN many cases kept in confinement"
said the Secretary. The insane are not
criminals. and therefore should not be
given the same treatment. Today they
are treated as sick persons, and their
surroundings are mace as beautiful
congenlal and nomelike as possible. This
institution stands as a model among its
kind IN the United States. Its accom-
pishments are recognized IN this cOun-
try and in foreign lands. Much credit
Is due its superintendent, DR.. White for
bringing it up to its present high stand

DISPENSER OF KISSES.

A Frenchman. who APPARENTLY has a
good deal of time on his hands has
been amusing himself by reckoning up
the number Of kisses he has given his
wife during the first twenty years OF
his married life.
He finds that in the first year he dis
pensed about 100 kisses day. or. say.
allowing for birthdays and legal and
church holidays. about So, 100 in the year.
In the second year this number was
reduced by hat, and IN the third year
10 ten day. while in the fifth year
his bettor half had to be content with
two a day. one IN the morning and one
IN the evening.
What happened after the fifth year
is wrapped in mystery" but at the
same rate OF progression" he probably
arrived eventually at one kiss On the
first OF January every leap year.

THE KAISER'S MUSTACHE.

A curious explanation is given out in
Berlin for The change in the Emperor
Williams manner OF wearing his mus
taches, which are no longer turned up
almost at right angles toward the eyes,
but end in a shorter and more gradual
ascending. curve. II is said that one
day while lighting a cigarette. his ma
jesty had the misfortune TO SINCE away
half Of one Of the upturned points. and
this, OF course, necessitated the trim
ming Of the other to match and a tenn
porary alteration Of style. The involun-
tary change met with the approval OF
the Empress, and the monarch there
upon decided to adopt Il definitely for
the future. One Of the first portraits of
his majesty IN which the new mode is
apparent is that which has been painted
for presentation TO Oxford University.

QUENTIN A SCOUT"
IN WILD WEST SHOW
Colonel Cody Entertains Son of
President in Buffalo
BilI' StYle.

The old stage coach went numbering
along through the dust, its passengers
alert and watchful, for danger threat
ened- Inside sat a small boy, his face
beaming, his eyes flashing, and his fists
cIinched.
RED skins? Gee, I wish they'd try
TO hold us up Let me take one of your
guns, will yuh?" But the cowboy who
sat opposite him only laughed, you
might hurt yourself" he said.
'Ah rats, 1 know how 10 shoot, go
on, let me take one and shoot at the
Indians when they come" But the
cowboy was obdurate.
Just then from a canyon the Indians
began To pour. hundreds OF them. They
came on like the wind. and their feet
horses soon overlook the old coach.
Bang, bang" went the revolvers Of
the defenders, and two redskins bit the
dust
The small boy inside became excited
He pleaded with the cowboy for a re-
volver, but even the argument that his
father was a Rough Rider awaited him
no.. Then he got mad.
Keep your old gun. You only got
blank cartridges anyhow" he exclaim-
ed. He poked his head out the window
OF the coach and yelled defiance at the
Indians. Come oa, you old redskins,
we can lick 100000 of you. II I only
had a gun I'd show you"
And then the Indians closed in and
Quentin ROOsevelt's voice was drowned
IN the bloOd-cUrdling wells OF the ma
rauders. Then came a bUgle call from
the farther end OF the arena Of Buffalo
Bills show. and the American cavalry
were rushing bravely to the rescue
ma -l-el n
glee as he saw the Indians fleeing before
the soldiers, and jumped up and down
inside the old coach 10 the imminent
danger Of the thin bottom.
Quentin was the guest Of Col. VII

minutes when re limited 10 the colonel
that he would like to go through the
stage coach fight He went, and when
the fight was over and won ne was

out two or three sentences, as some
of the gentlemen who have not been
quite as willing to bring out the truth
as they might have done, in circulat-
ing parts of my speeches my attitude
may be misunderstood If you will re-
fer to my speeches at Brooklyn. Tuske.
gee and Greensboro you will see that
this is my position. | don't want to
criticise the white citizens of the
South so long as they remain within
the constitution, but in applying that
rule they have no right to make the
slightest discrimination with the re-
spect to the ignorance of the white
man as compared with the ignorance
of the colred man, for they both have
to be excluded on the same ground
When they do tht you have no right
to complain. | don't think you will
find that l am in the slightest degree
lacking in accord with you on that
subject"
The members of the delegation nod
ded their assent and the Secretary
continued: The truth is that they are
most anxious to get within the law
who realize that a continuance of
fraud and violence in the disfranchise-
ment of colored voters. where white
voters ought equally to be disfran-
chised, saps the moral foundation of
the moral young white men. They
cannot be dishonest in one thing and
have the moral virus creep into their
veins in everything else. | believe
they are coming to the point where the
law will be enforced equally against
botn and where the colored men, who
have property or education. will be
given all the rights they are entitled
to under the law that is constitutional.
These grandfather clauses are not con.
stitutional, in my Judgment.
Then again, law may seem 10 be
legal on its lace and be enforced by
an election officer in such way that
when colored man comes up he will
put lot of questions to him about the
constitution that no man can answer.
and then when white man comes up
just have him read sentence. | don't
mean thta kind of law. | mean
law so framed that when it is executed
it will apply equally to both races.
Il have talked with a good MANY
Southern men. Bishop Galloway. in
Mississippi, is a man who appreciates
the injustice done to your race and the
necessity for changing conditions in
the South in that regard. When |
was a judge on the bench | came into
contact with great many people and
believe that a better feeling toward
your race among the white men in the
South is growing and that more and
more they are in favor of an equal ap-
plication of the law. When that is
done--and that is what understand
the negro has been seeking-he will
be given an opportunity TO make him
