GIRLS EDUCATION.

Nine thousand nine hundred and
fifty girls out Of every 10000 are
sacrificed in our method OF educa-
ton. Out % every 10000 girls who
enter our primary schools only so
go to college. yet every one of the
10000 is prepared for college. The
$3.50 who will be wage earners and
home-makers are entirely neglected.
For example. says Miss Eggleston:
"Helen's school has not made work
popular. so today Helen has several
ideas firmly implanted in her brain.
First. education offers a sure es-
cape from domestic work, which is of
all work the most mental. Second,
the woman who has an income Of her
own is more Independent than the
woman who makes home for a man
who provides the income, therefore,
she is to be emulated Third. the
simplest method Of acquiring ones
own income is to seek work in the
commercial or Industrial world.
Right here we find Helen destined
10 become TIE NlGAilA VI ctA NNAl RtAA-
ton. Helen does not know this, but
in time she pays the price of the con-
ditions. When Billy Smith, her ex-
classmate. goes TO work in a store
or office, she goes with him, perhaps
working elbow TO elbow. Before long
Billy smith discovers that II there
were not so many 'Helens' in his
line OF work earning just enough TO
paw mother some board and meet
dressmaking and millinery bills, he
would receive more salary and Sc
cure promotion sooner.
Unless Billy was very much in
love with Helen while in school. the
breach between them widens. Helen
is proud Of her equality with Billy at
the office or store, but Billy resents
Helen's interference with his earning
capacity and his future. Helen is no
longer a matrimonial possibility in
Billy's eyes. She has become a ousi-
ness rival. And II even has been Sc
cretly nursing any affection for Billy
she soon faces the realization that
this dream is over. But she does not
know why. For all her education
Helen Is less the woman, less the Eve
.ess subtle than her mother was be-
fore her.'-Selected.

has been made, it will be useful to de-
scribe one as an illustration:
The duty on structural steel,
whether plain or punched. or fitted
for use." was $40 a ton under the
Dingley tariff. The House, without
changing the wording OF the para
graph. reduced the rate to IS. When
the bin reached the Senate the Com
mittee on Finance struck out the
words just quoted. substituting the
words. mot assembled. or manufacture
ed. or advanced beyond hammering,
rolling or casting" fixing the rates
for these at Sc and IS a ton, accord
ing to the value Of the iron, but leav-
ing no provision for the punched
shapes. which is the only way in
which the bulk Of structural iron is
sold for practical purposes. This will
bring the punched structural iron un-
der paragraph 1873, which provides
for duty Of 45 per cent on all manu-
Of metal not specifically men
toned. At the price Of $50 10 $40 per
ton the duty on the material will am
ount TO from $3.50 TO SIS per ton,
an increase Of from 35 per cent. TO
so per cent. over the Dingley rates.
Yet, as this increase is not specifically
in the tariff. it does not
appear in the computation Of the
Senate Committee on Finance, which
instead shows a reduction of duty for
structural iron from 1915 per cent.
under the Dingley tariff TO 2s.4O per
sent. under the nef law.

DIR. COOKS TRIUMPH.

In hopes Of discovering the north
pole brave, strong hearted explorers
have been travelling into the Arctic
region for a century. But it has re-
mained for an American, DR.. Fred
erick Cook, to reach the long coveted
goal II IS an achievement Of which
DR.. Cook may we'll be proud and AM
erica too will honor him for what he
has done. Yet DR.. Cooks triumph IS
one that will add nothing to the eco

that have been lost and the money that
has been expended in exploring the
polar regions have brought but little
real return.

Gridiron Gleanlngs.

Advocates Of the debrutalized game
have refused to Yell a step. Biting
in clinches before the third down is
still frowned upon.
A trick play that promises to be
popular Is termed the aeroplane play.
On a fake end run the quarterback is
grabbed by two guards and hurled
through the air toward the goal. This
play, it is expected, will make embon-
point in vogue among quarterbacks.
One Of the hardest matches Of the
season will be between Binks' barber
college and Bunks' School Of Plumb
ing. The barber college won last
year, but II was close shave. The
score was 2 to 0, a player named Gil
lette making a safety. The plumbers
say they viii have a lead pipe cinch.
There will be fierce rivalry among
the correspondence schools, many OF
which are already working on post
age stamp codes Of signals. There Is
possibility that a scandal may be
raised owing to freely circulated as
sertions that some Of the eastern
schools are offering free tuition to
penmanship experts for their teams.
Owing to the introduction Of pith
helmets in place of the old style sole
leather headguards long hair will be
the correct thing in exclusive football
circles.
College football men who have been
caught playing ball during the sum-
mer will be disqualified from compe-
ting on the gridiron. With the fol-
lowing exceptions: Those who need
ed the money, those who couldn't play
ball very well, anyway, those VINO
are kind to their mothers, and those
who are needed on the football squad.
The feature Of the roofing at foot
ball games this year will undoubtedly
be the contest for the business college

offered to the business college max

NOT WHAT IT SEEMS.

The new tariff bill is not what It
seems to be according to writer in
the September Review Of Reviews:
According to the official estimates Of
the Senate Committee on Finance,
says this writer, the average reduction
o; duty is equal to 2h per cent from
the Dingley rates on the entire metal
schedule This estimate, however,
overlooks, in some cases entirely, in
others largely, increases Of duty which
are not readily apparent, among
which the following are specific in
stances: On punched structural iron
and steel, from $40 ton under the
Dingley tariff to about ;1s and more
under the new law; increase Of duty
on razors ranging from 21 to 229 per
cent; on nickel and its alloys. Of
about 1873 per cent; on metallic pens
with nib and barrel In one piece"
amounting to 25 per cent; on bottle
caps and on lacquered cans, boxes, -
per cent. and mere.
In SO far as these increases are due
to changes in classification, they are
not noted in the estimates Of the Sem
ate committee at all, or they are so
palpably underestimated as to reduce
greatly the practical utility Of the
committees computation. AS the
change in classification is character
istic Of changes made in other sched-
ules Of the tariff. including those OF
cotton and silk, to which reference

WHEN I DREAM OF YOU.

Down a pathway lined with roses
Up broad marble stairs,
Through a hall where sleep reposes
Lulled by dreamland airs;
On through courts with fountains
playing,
Gardens bright with dew
Thus II is that I go straying
When / dream Of you.
Oft in golden latticed bowers
Arbors lily-twined,
There I find in blissful hours
Rapture uncOnfined;
Ever Ger me star-eyes glisten;
There above me, too,
Angels come to listen
When / dream OF you.

 This is strongly denied by the denocrats and even so high an authority as tne President wrote a letter saying the amendment simply meant the olsIr an chisement of the negro.
 It was aimed to help the republican party, but of course became a pocsn- erang
 Nevertheless the republican press. which means all the large newspapers with one exception, have concentrated their energy on the foreign vote Tn an effort to make him believe that the defeat of the amendment is his only chance to exercise the right of suffrage
 The negro question has been practically ignored by the republican press, and In many instances the news of assaults upon white women and other negro outraBes have been in a large measure suppressed in order that the public should not be- come cognlzant of them.
 Baltimore, being a seaport town, natu- rally has large proportion of foreigners who have been grossly deceived by re- publican orators as to the true intent and nature of the amendment.
 Owing to this element, combined with an unlimited campaign fund gained on the plea that Maryland would be hope lessly democratic If the negro were elim- mated. the fate of the amendment is in great doubt
 No effort has been spared to get out the big negro vote in the southern coun- ties, which added to that of Baltimore gives an obvious advantage
 The democrats have waged an aggres- sive campaign and are claiming the adop- tion of the amendment by a substantial majority.
 Situation in Virginia.
 The Virginia election will turn out as usual with the election of Judge Mann, the democratic gubernatorial candidate. The republicans have received no lit tie assistance from the national organiza- ton. representations having been made that here was the Presidents opportuni- ty to break the solid south.
 Hitchcock is said to have actually be- lieved 1t at first, but now probably real izes that he put too much confidence in the enthusiasm of his advisers, particu- larly Representative slemp.
 The campaign has been enlivened dur ing the past few days by the publication by Representative Glass that tho repub- lican candidate, W. P. Kent, is unfit to hold the office.
 It develops that certain lands in Me Cracken county, Kentucky, were in dis pute and Kent was employed to clear up the matter.
 Kent is alleged to have represented that he could secure about 5000 for their in- terests.
 He was authorized to sell and accord ingly made returns on about 5000
 It is alleged further that his clients later learned that the property sold for about s45o0 and that Kent kept back $25o0 of the whole amount in addition to his fees and expenses.
 Subsequently. upon the representations
  Kent restored the excess sum of which he at first made no accounting.
 Glass says he carries with him the proof of his charges and is willing to give Kent a peep into the Pandora's box If he is willing to look in

 Nine skilled white men are employed in the shop while some of the negro city prisoners who are good mechanics are worked as assistants. These negroes arc allowed a small fate of pay per day, which has served to make great workers out of them.
 The advancement of the shop and abil- ity of the men worked in it is such that if there is no work for them to do on one machine they can busy themselves at something else. The shop is up to date in every respect and the amount Of money saved to the city by it in the course Of A wear or two should amount to an inn mense sum. Mayor O'Brien makes the statement that within a few months the saving to the city on work done in the shop will more than pay for the cost or it's construction and equipment
 In the handling of the city's smallpox patients the street department has also proved another money-saver. An anpu- lance was built at the shop and negro prisoner who had had smallpox has been made trusty and given the job as driver He is allowed a small rate of pay for each patient and thinks he has the great est job in the world.

Cordele, Ga., October 30.-It was defi- nitely learned here this afternoon from authoritative sources that a syndicate of Baltimore capitalists has been or ganized for the purpose of eKtending g the Albany and Northern railroad from Albany to the Gulf of Mexico at St. Andrews Bay.
 According to reliable information, funds for building the new road for one third the distance of the extension are now in readiness and the work of construction will begin at once. The distance to be covered is 1S6 miles, direct from Albany to River Junction, and thence to St. Andrews Bay.
 The new road will penetrate one of the richest undeveloped sections of Wiregrass Georgia and make tribuary to Cordele a wide territory stretching southward from Albany to the state line. It will also afford this city th 0 quickest and shortest route to the gulf.

VIRGINIA IS STILL SAFE
BY WALTER sTEALEY.

Washington, October SO.-(Special 1.-The closest contest of the off year elections is in Maryland, and there is good ground for the belief that such state offices as will be filled will fall the democratic way, in cluding the legislature.
 The main issue, however, is the adoption of the constitutional amendment aimed at the negro vote.
 Out of a total vote of 2S7.ns Maryland has 50,0o0 negroes.
 Without this vote the republican party would be powerless.
 In Baltimore with vote of some 115,- 000 there are 17,0OO negroes.
 The principal difficulty in Maryland is the foreign vote.
 It is claimed that the suffrage amend mont before the voters was rather loose-

Every big corporation takes advantage of everything to save money in the cost of it's operations, so why should not a city operate along the same linesY
 The carrying out of the idea expressed in this argument by the present adminis- tration of the city of Birmingham IS already showing results in the saving of money to the Magic City. It has followed the election of a practical man as the citys chief executive and the placing of a practical man at the head of the street department.
 Several years ago Street Commissioner John McCartin conceived the idea of hav- ing the city do much of the work it was having done by contract, insisting that money would be saved by It. The men controlling the city affairs at that time, however, couldn't see things in the same light with MT. McCartin, and the idea was not carried out. He tried it on sue cessive administrations with the same re- suit
 When Capt Frank P. O'Brien assumed the Mayors chair, MT. McCartin broached the subject to him. It found instant fa- yor, and the two of them went to work on the Board of Aldermen. It took but little explanation to bring them around. and an appropriation of $15,OOO was unan- imously granted the street department for increasing the efficiency of the de- partment.
 This appropriation was based on the purchase of a large number of new wag- tff.rao xxroc necessary to purchase few new wagons for immediate use, but MT McCartin re- frained from buying the entire number authorized. Instead, he waited until the completion of his shop. which he started work upon at tfN yards of the street de- partment, near Tenth avenue and Seventh street, immediately after receiving the authorization.
 The shop is just nearing completion, and work Is already being turned out. The wisdom of waiting was shown re- gardlng the heavy dump wagons. The lowest bid received on them was $12l each. By taking the axles and wheels off of old, worn out wagons and building a new body, wagons equal in every re- spect to those purchased have been se cured at a cost of about SS7 The same rule has applied to other things. Cofnns lOT lne DuIidl ol tilC Padpci oSdQ dIC made at the place. The burial of paupers was formerly done by contract, costing from s6 to sS each. Mayor OBrien has made an agreement with the county whereby the county inters paupers free upon delivery at the cemetery. The total cost to the city now for the burial of pauper is s1.50, including the expense of a city wagon to remove it to the potters field.
 Ar ira-.1ense savinc has been shown in the equipping of a frst-class blacksmith shop Every department of the city sends It's horses and mules to the shop to be shod Formerly they were shod at the various shops abont town. At the pres ent rate the city will save over 5000 per year in the shoeng of its stock. The blacksmith shop isf equipped with every
