A sLUR ON WOMAN.


Every once in awhile some college
professor makes himself ridiculous by
i'll considered twaddle
An instance is that of Northwest
ern university professor OF economies
who told I'm Evanston woman's club
that women did not earn their living
and were unproductive ana expensive
to society.
Which is but silly slur.
There may be few-a very few
women who do not pay their way and
earn the right Ia live in the world. bur
they are the exception and prove the
rule ihat women even more than men

STEWARD REMOVED
RidgIey Held Responsible For Mixture
OF Salt And Sugar In MidShipmen's
Food

A despatch from Washington says:
Upon the recommendation of Capt.
J. M. BoYyer, superintendent of the
Naval Academy, Acting Secretary of
the Navy Winthrop Saturday accept
ed the resignation of Ridgley, the
colored steward Of the Midshipmen s
mess at the Academy. The steward
is removed on grounds of incompe-
tency, based on the recent incident
of nearly half Of the Midshipmen s
battalion being made i'll by a mixture
Of salt and sugar used in the cook
ing.
"When the illness first developed
suspicion arose in some quarters that
some employe of the mess had pur-
posely put a deleterious substance iE
the food with view to making men,
bers of the Academy football squad
sick. Several of the players were
among the victims, although their
illness was not at any time serious.
The medical authorities started an
investigation and aualyzed the food
and ingredients used in the cooking.
The act was traced to one of the
attendants, who apparently had made
an unintentional error. He was
promptly dismissed, and the chief of
the kitchen force, who is in charge
of the kitchen and the handling of
the provision stores, was suspended.
Although it appeared that he had
no knowledge of the matter, he was
the employe held responsible and
his resignation was called for.
''The fact that the food for the next
meal did not occasion any illness in
dicated that the mixture was put
only in the eatables for the one meal
and not in the stores. All the Mid
shipmen quickly recovered"
An expression of sympathy is
heard in Annapolis for Ridgley. who
comes of respected colored family,
and in whom much confidence il
placed. 1t is felt by the best people
here that he was not personally i'm.
plicated In the trouble.
