As a rule, women unquestionably outrank
\men in fluency of speech, writes John Barry
~ Harper's Bazaar, In the society Of women,
men may be called the silent sex. But it Is
when there are no men about that women
achieve the most brilliant linguistic feats.
They are often tempted to talk all at once
for the very reason that they all have so
much to say. Where their conversation
shows weakness is In variety Of subject
As a matter Of fact, there Is little or no
variety. AT present" says a philosophical
student of the sex, women have just one
kind of subject-the purely personal" But
in the treatment OF personalities some
women develop genius. In spite of such
apparently marked limitations, the talk Of
many women never lacks material. Who
has ever seen two OF more women dealing
with personalities whose subjects Of con-
versation have become exhausted? Men, in
spite OF reports to the contrary, indulge
considerably in personalities, though their
treatment of such themes may differ from
women's. Blu they have other subjects
that interest them quite as deeply, and It is
here that women fail TO meet them. II
women wish to remain on a conversational
footing with their husbands they must be-

Thu high priestess Of sweeping, busting,

broken out with a cheering bit Of news
which puts a cottage at $40 per right up in

the arms, for the reason-whlch is admitted
in all gymnasia-that a constant, firm
grasp on any hard object has that effect.
She declares that II the housewife keeps
her knees from bending she can pick up
all the pins she likes from the floor, and
the picking will only add symmetry to her

According to the lecturer women never

Instead of spending a brief minute in think

THE BUSINESS OUTLOOK

The commercial reporting agencies tell
OF quiet trade, but better tone in some
lines. Dun's says to-day.
Milder weather will stimulate spring
sales, but general trade continues quiet.
Conditions are better in the West than in
the East, but everywhere still lack the de-
sired animation. although outside Of New
York bank clearings this week were 1T
per cent larger than last year and II per
cent. better than in 1906. The fact that in
New York the clearings were lis per cent.
under 1906 is accounted for by the contin-
ued sluggishness Of the security market.
Railroad earnings are not only S5 per
cent. heavier than last year but only 80
per cent. under 1907.
Although a sharp cut in prices OF tin
plates is announced the general conditions
in the iron and steel trade point toward
Improvement. with a noticeably good de-
mand for structural steel. On the whole
the reports from the dry goods trade are
encouraging especially in the Western
territory. S,Ggnation, however, exists in
hides and leather. A break in wheat fol-
lowing a report OF farm reserves on March
/, that were much lager than was ex-
pected, IS a notable and wholesome devel-
opment of the week. Taking everything
into consideration It is a waiting trade
situation.

a number Of very excellent students
have entered this month; several are
expected to enter next = nday.

non have completed the business prac-
tice work in the commercial depart
ment and viii enter the offices Monday.
Russell Hill, Ernest Wilson and
Howard Volk have completed tho inter

have begun business practice.
The position in Newark. n. j., with
the wholesale commission house is still
open. Every effort has been made to
get man for this place which is an
unusually good one but all efforts have
failed, for the reason that is difficult
to find an available man who is COM
petent in both bookkeeping and short
hand. No man need be out Of employ
ment If he will qualify himself in all
the branches used in a business Office.
This position paid former graduate
Of Goldey College $17OO per year.
T. Noble FARRELL has completed the
Office work in the commercial DEPART
ment in very satisfactory manner
ana Is now on final examinations. Mr..
Jarrells brother is a graduate of the
commercial department and he was
also one of the most successful stu
dents that ever attended the College.
In many lines Of business there is a
very great Improvement. The demand
for persons thoroughly competent in
Office work is increasing. Young men
and young women who are ambitious
to hold the better grade Of positions
should lose no time in preparing them
selves in the business branches. The
demand for office men and women who
are quick and accurate is greater than
the supply. Business firms have far
more difficulty in getting the kind Of
clerks they want than clerks have in

place and what the outcome will be
on the first of April, no one can with
any certainty predict at this time. 1t
will be for the United Mineworkers in
the anthracite coal fields to decide this
question, and judging from the senti-
ment among the men in the Scranton

resentatives of the United MineworlI-

Pulling at Odds.
Considerable friction and factional
feeling has developed among the min
ers' delegates. The old fight between
Lewis and Mitchell has its echo in the
half-hesrted support given tho new
president by some of the delegates.
As an instance Of this there are the
conflicting stories of what Happened
during yesterdays session with the
committee made the statement last
night that Lewis had told the operators
that no would lend his influence to
have all the miners demands dropped,
and the three year agreement accept
ed If the one demand for recognition
Of the union, was granted. Lewis en-
phatically denied having made such a
proposition.
L know the man who gave out that
statement. and l wish you would go
to him, and tell him for me that he
lied" said Lewis, to newspaper rep
resentatives today.
But whatever friction there may be
among the miners, it is expected to be
lost sight of in the big issues that con-
front the organization through the
operators determined stand against
all Cancellation.
Feeling ran high among the men who
gathered today to prepart the way fol
the coming convention Of mineworkers
The war spirit was plainly in evidence
and it is certain that this body Of mer
empowered to decide the question on
peace, or strike the great majority would
today declare in favor Of a determined
stand for all their demands no matter
what the cost. The temper Of the con
vention is not expected to be much NOR,
conciliatory.
Some of the more conservative miners
are advocating the continuance OF worl
without signing an agreement Of any
kind. AS the operators refuse TO recog
nize the miners as an organization. the.

Editor EVENING JOURNAL:-ManS'
suppose most. OF the owners OF small
houses in Wilmington. especially Of such
houses in the newer districts of the
city. believe it would be against their
interests to have part OF the cost Of pay
Ing the beds OF streets adjoining their
properties charged to them.
wish TO ask their attention TO the
following:
Suppose that paving costs $500 per
square yard; and suppose a block 80,
feet in length, facing on street so feet
wide, crossed by two streets each C
feet wide, on which the lots extend back
so feet; in which block there are %
houses. Is feet front each and costing te
build s1,6o0.OO each.
The 80 feet streets are usually s4is feet
and so feet streets 2iis feet between
curbs.

If the bill now under consideration should
become a law, will each have TO pay
for paving nearly Is square yards OF

terest be paid in instalments extend.
ing over a number Of years. Each cor.
ner property viii have to pay beside.
this for nearly Ill square yards or S222OO
making In all for each corner property
s252.0o.
I believe that If the bill under consid-
GRAFTON should be come a law It will re.
suit before very many years in our hav.
ing good pavements much more gener
ally, and that our tax rate may not hav,
to go up. II that course should not b,
adopted I believe a much larger pro
portion Of the streets will remain un
paved, the city will get very deeply il
debt, and the tax rate will have to b,
much higher.
1t would be possible TO build houses
a little smaller or a little more cheap
~, say to cost S1,57O.0O, instead Of ST.
$1,000. Who would not rather have a hous,
costing $4,000 on a we'll paved street
with the streets of the city general,
well paved, and with a moderate Ia,
rate, than to have one costing $1,000
on an unpaved street. with a large, per
haps the greater part, of the streets
Of the city unpaved. with the city yer,
deeply in debt, and with a much highe
tax rate.
The balance Of advantage would per
haps, not be so great as respects own
ers of corner lots, but as to them
believe the value Of the properties woult
increase to an amount more than tn
cost Of paving; and they would not
have the disadvantage Of a higher tai
rate.
