~ the Manila Vfdyalaya. This institution
started by Professor Kharve with view
to stemming the tide of widows by Iaying

vfdyaIaya is probably the first boarding school for
Hindu girls established in Southern Indfa-f not
in all India The school is intended for the edG-
cation of girls of the middle class and humber
walks of life, and thus only $3.50 to $500 month
is charged for board lodging and tuition; and in
case a girls guardian cannot afford even this
small sum, charge whatever is made. The
Vidyalaya at present serves merely as hostel AMI
girls attend the local day school, receive their
education along with the boys--a feature that is
absolutely new in India and significant OF the rev
oIution that is taking place in the country. The
basic principle of the Vidyalaya is to maintain and
educate unmarried girls admitted distinct
promise from their guardians that they will not be
removed from the institution until they 20
years Of age. Thus the marriage OF the girls IN
the Vfdyalaya must be postponed of necessity uT-

cisiOn.

Indianapolis, Ind, Jan. 22.-This
was John Mitchell day in the conven-
ton Of the United Mine Workers of
america. When the former president
of the miners appeared on the stage
Of johnson Hall 1900 delegates went
wild with enthusiasm.
Mr.. Mitchell said:
Il feel keenly sensitive to the re-
ception you have given me this dag.
1t would seem that at least in a min
ers' convention former leader of la
boring people losas none of his lustre
because he is sentenced to JAIL"
Mr.. Mitchell pictured what he con-
sidered the injustice CT a system by
which the constitutional rights of
free speech and free press were de-
nied." and by which men would be
deprived Of their liberty without q
trial by jury. He repudiated nc. n
ing that he had said or written in his
book in the past concerning the duty
of resistance of any order by Justly
depriving people Of these constitu-
tional rights.
The Injunction, Mr.. Mitchell de-
ciared. was not all bad, BIT he said il
had been used as an instrument of
oppression.
+. j. McLester, a delegate moved
that a petition be prepared and ad-
dressed to President Roosevelt pro
testing against Judge Wright's de-
cision. 1t is to be signed by every
delegate and officer in the conver-
ton.

The STEEL MERGER INQUIRY,

"GO IT ALONE"
Attorney General Declines Request to
Give Information Concerning Abb
sorptiOn OF the Company.

Washington, Jan. 21.-A highly de-
veloped order of unctuous courtesy is
being maintained between the senate
committee on judiciary and Attorney
General Bonaparte over the question
of whether the attorney general will
or will not appear before the commit
tee to explain the merger of the Ten
nessee Coal and Iron Company and
the United States Steel corporation.
When the subcommittee having this in
vestigation in charge met today Sem
ator Clark Of Wyoming, the chairman,
submitted letter which he received
yesterday from Mr.. Bonaparte, declin-
Ing the committees invitation to ap-
pear today, for the reason that he had
an engagement in the Supreme Court.
The committee considered the letter
and solemnly agreed not to make the
letter or its substance public.
While members of the subcommit-
tee unanimously say that Mr.. Bona
parties replay was the embodiment Of
courtesy. It is evident that 1t contain
ed some expression or ignored some
suggestion from the committee that
has not tended to increase the cordial
relations between the committee and
the department Of justice. The fact
that the committee has seen fit to
make mystery Of the correspond
ence possibly has exaggerated it's i'm
portance. but at the same time it has
made 1t manifest that the committee
will not receive any aid from the
White House or the department of
justice in pursuing it's inquiries.

citizens, Intendent d. r. Lide poured

This is the first time the people of
Pinewood have witnessed a scene like
this on the streets of this town.
By this act a precedent has been
established which the intendent ex-
poets to follow, hence the blind til
gers" had better take warning.
The citizens think this is a step in
the right direction, so it behooves
each and every individual to back up
the officers in the discharge Of their
duty, then the "tigers" will soon be
put out of business.
