HINDoo VIEW OF OUR GIRLS.
Pagan Writer Says They Are Trained
to Be Hypocrites.

to Be Hypocrites.
One, Saint Nihal Singh, described
as IAN accomplished Bengali jour-
nalist," has visited this country and
made an exhaustive study Of marriage
a la mode here. His conclusions are
distressing. 1t Is all very we'll for
US to lampoon our own institutions,
but when the alien, and a pagan at
that, tries his hand at it the result,
though the same, seems somehow
different. Bearing in mind the tears
we have shed over the sad lot of
Hindoo women in the zenanas, 1t Is
rather discomfiting, to say the least,
to look at our own plight through
Mr.. Singh's eyes.
He says, in the Hindostan Review,
that the American girl is trained and
educated for no other purpose than
to inveigle young men into matri-
mony.
THE girl puts herself out to the
utmost extreme to make herself
pleasing and agreeable to the man
who is counting her. If she has any
flaws in her figure she hides them
If she suffers from any disease, if
she inherits any maladies, no matter
how severe or how contagious they
may be, she makes every effort to
keep the fact away from her lover.
If she has a vicious temper she dis
guises it under mealymouthed and
honeyed expressions. The care she
bestows in making herself up (paint-
ing and powdering her face), the at
tention she gives to pleasing her fu-
ed that her lovers vanity cannot but
be tickled."
In a word the American girl is
trained to be a hypocrite, with the
inevitable consequence that after
marriage comes disillusionment. But
that is nothing. She is so anxious
to have a home of her own that, ac-
cording to Mr.. Singh, she is even
ready to support a husband In order
to secure it!
Only a benighted Hindoo would
have the impudence to say that. The
whole thing is preposterous, of
course, and not for a moment to be
considered seriously. Every American
girl will tell you so.
There is a darkly illuminative epi-
gram by George Eliot, which says in
substance that the last refuge Of in
tolerance is not being tolerant to the
intolerant. We wonder whether it
will be possible for the American girl,
even though convinced of the rank
injustice of this heather view of her,
to be yet in all honesty tolerant Of
the purely critical spirit which has
formed Mr.. Singhs interesting
study.

A kindly matron who was sitting
directly behind Mr.. and Mrs. Hadley,

EGAN'S CATCHROBS GIANTS
or CHAMPIONSHIP AND $50. OOC

a tie score there is little doubt, as
base ball was going in those
stormy days, that New York would
have won, and If they had won
they might have laughed at Covel-
eskie, the board of directors, or
anybody else.
Folks said after the game was
over that Egan had made a
miraculous catch. John McGraw
said to me in later days, that just
that particular catch put New
York out of the championship.
Losing the championship cost
them a chance to play for the
worlds championship, SO there is
reason why Egan's catch should
go into history with unusual fame.
Further than that, think of the
hard luck of Merkle. who, had
that drive gone safe to the fence,
would have received as much, or
more credit for making the home
run than he received criticism for
failing to touch second base. Twice
within week the fates had treat
ed him with scantest courtesy.
That catch cost the New York
club not less than $4,000. From
such small incidents does history
arise, and the costliness of the
gilt-edged play is another valid
reason why 1t belongs on the great
est shelf.

AS the term GREATEST. PLAY
not only conveys the idea of skill,
but of Importance, / think that THE
greatest play l ever saw--a play
fraught with all the Importance, Of
settling a championship-took place
in New York September 25, 1908, in
the game between New York and
Cincinnati And the play, which
followed the Merkle episode, con-
tanned all Of the elements of base
ball tragedy, as Merkle figured in
1t, too.
New York could not count on the
protested game with Chicago on &C
count of the slowness of the board
of directors of the National league,
and the Giants hardly expected
they would get the game after the
pronounced stand in favor of the
umpire taken by the president Of
the National league.
On the other hand, II New York
could win three out Of four from
Cincinnati, there was little chance
that they would lose the champion
ship. They would not have minded
C0veleskie in Philadelphia.
Two games were played with Gin
cinnati on this particular after
noon. New York lost the first, and
the crowd began to grow FESTIVE.
The second had been played until
the fourth inning. Dubuc was
pitching for Cincinnati. Seymour
started with two-bagger. Devlin
went out. Mccormick and Bridwell
hit safely in succession, and SO did
Crandall. Tenney had started to
play in the game, but his foot hurt
him, and he was taken out, Merkle
batting in his place. The score was
to 0 as the inning began, in favor
of Cincinnati, and the gloom was
thicker than the paste in a country
printing office.
On Crandalrs hit Seymour had
scored, and there were three on
bases when Merkle walked to the
plate.
The crowd was not kept in sus-
pense long. for Merkle hit the ball
an awful crack toward right field
and higher in the air than mans
head by two feet. In fact, the hit
would have gone between right and
center fields If 1t had ever reached
the destination for which it started.
For just one second such bedlam
never was heard, for there seemed
no possible chance for Merkle to
realize anything other than home
run.
Out of the half gloom in the dull
autumn day a long shape climbed
into the air and pulled that ball

These, the demands of the
Switchmen's union, are the bone Of
contention in the fight between 1t
and the employers, that has tied
up freight traffic on the Great
Northern and Northern Pacific rail
roads in Spokane and countless 9TH
er cities over the west and middle
west.
Thousands of railroad men all
over the United States are idle to-
day as the result of the railroads
refusal to accede to these demands.
Out of Spokane. only passenger
trains are being operated by the
Great Northern and Northern Pa
cific.
Approximately 200 men making
up the freighthouse crews of these
two roads in Spokane have been
dismissed, until settlement can
be affected in the controversy. 1t
means that thousands of men with
families and with but small bank
accounts are lying idle and facing
suffering over the country.
. Call boys are declared to have
been working at the switches here
last night. Yard foremen and rail-
way officials, rusty" in their
knowledge of the work, were heav-
ing coal into the fireboxes and
working at the throttles of few of
the switch engines. Some are re-
ported to have run through
switches, but no resulting damage
has yet been reported.

Great Northern are refusing to &C

in the yards.
