The School for Brides.

The new department just opened in
the School of Domestic Arts and Sci
ences in this city, in which prospective
and young wives are to be taught how
to make prospective and young hus-
bands happy, ought to be an attractive
and useful one.
The most hopeful sign OF it's success
is the practically of the new scheme.
Instead of the various political, philo-
sophical. suffragetical, and ethical re-
forms which have been agitated as
antidotes for the divorce habit, the
author of this scheme gets far down TO
the roots of Benedicume happiness by
establishing a curriculum to which the
prominent items are making model
bedrooms, disposing Of socks. ties and
vests, preserving trouser creases, put
ting away shirts, airing rooms, decor
ating them. matching furniture, etc.
All this satisfies the outer man. but
Il does not provide for the cravings OF
the inner man. The kitchen should not
| be omitted. Uuhappiness often begins

NEW NEWS OF YESTERDAY
The President Who Was
Ready to Forgive
BY "HOlIand."
BY "HOIIand."

During the entire period that VIII
liam Mckinley was President OF the
United States. Lyman ]. Gage was
Secretary of the Treasury. and as
such was brought into close official
and personal relations with Mckinley.
with the exception of Abraham
Lincoln, Mckinley. in all probability,
had greater tenderness of heart than
any man who has been president, -
said Mr.. Gage. land his nobility of
mind was the equal of that of any Of
his predecessors. Let me illustrate
by an incident that occurred in Il
Cabinet meeting, and for the occur
renee of which | was primarily re-
sponsible.
After | had been in the Treasury
Department for some time 1t was
brought to my attention that one Of
the departments subordinate officials
had dared to write for publication an
article that, to my mind, breathed in
subOrdinatiOn of the highest degree.
Quite naturally, / was offended and
indignant, SO much so. in fact, that l
took the first opportunity to call the
attention of President Mckinley and
the Cabinet to the breach of discipline.
] minced no words in declaring to the
President that peremptory removal Of
the official In question was justified
by his dislOyalty and the studied In
suit he had placed in his cOmmunica-
ton. Then ] read in full what the
subordinate had written. observing
all the while the President seemed
greatly interested.
when ! had finished. the Presi-
dent was silent for d moment, then
he said.
Mr.. Secretary, It seems to me
that If this communication is written
In a spirit of disloyalty. and if it
contains a studied insult, as you be-
lieve and declare. then that dislOy-
atty and that insult affect the Presi-
dent Of the sUnited States quite as
much as they do the Secretary Of the
| Treasury
That is precisely my view of the
matter, Mr.. President ] replied
That is why | have brought this
communication TO the attention o
yourself aud the Cabinet. I do not be
lieve that It Is right. nor for the bes
interests of the department. to retain
In n any one who is so disloyal ant
so insulting to the President of tn
United States. So / desire to receive
from you authority for the prompt ant
peremptory removal of this insubordi
nate official
THE President looked at m,
thoughtfully for perhaps half a min
ute, and then directed his glance a
the other members of the Cabinet, on
after another. So far as I coul,
fathom their opinions with respect t.
the situation, they accorded with mine
and It seemed to me that the Presi
dent also reached that conclusion
after he. had looked searchingly a
each of his advisors. AT last he spoke
"'Mr. Secretary he said, slowly
If it appears to you hat this com
munication involves the President a

CANADIAN RAILWAYS.

ANADA seems TO get along very we'll with

only $4,000 miles of railroad, but this represents
greater per capita of mileage than any other
country. The commission deals directly with
both the people and the railway corporations and
has settled great many disputes at small cost
The commission regulates a service Of large
magnitude the revenues and expenditures of
fhc Canadian railways are twice as much as those

DANGER AT RAILROAD CROSSINGS.

HE Pennsylvania we'll as other railroad
n companies has been of late making deter
mined efforts TO decrease the number of fatal ac-
cioents railway properties. The long list OF
killed and injured railroads during the year
has aroused the companies so that they are taking
measures to reduce If possible the number Of slain
and mangled.
If the companies are so much interested in this
matter the public certainly should be- But an
analysis of the statistics of fatal accidents shows
that very large percentage of Them are due to
careless trespassing the property of the rail-
roads. And 1t is against such trespassing that the
companies have been conducting vigorous cam.
pagn There is every reason to believe that the
efforts OF the companies in this direction will not
be without result. Here in Delaware signs have
been posted warning persons of the peril of tres
passing on railroad tracks. That is about all the
Pennsylvania Company can do to prevent accidents
due to trespaSsing.
Another phase of the subject is bothering the
railroad companies and it should gravely concern
at least part of the public. That is the number
OF accidents TO Automobiles at railway crossings
Hardly a Monday morning passes that the news
papers do not record some frightful accident TO
automobilists who down on railroad cross
ings by trains. Not infrequently such accidents
are OF almost daily occurrence. 1t may be that the
companies do not have so many overhead bridges
as they should have and that some dangerous
crossings are not protected as they should be- but
be that as il may il is incumbent upon motor
lists to great at railway crossings lust as
it is the duty of persons not trespass on rail
road property and the risk of being crushed
TO death
The courts have ruled that persons in motor cars
should exercise unusual as they approach rail-
way crossings New York court has declared
that the rule requiring persons to stop, look anG
listen at railway crossings is more imperative in
the case of automobiles than in that of horse
drawn vehicles. The peril of collisions of trains
with automobiles is greater TO the general public
than that of a train with carriage or wagon
The New York court justly remarks that if the
automobile keeps running the noise of the motor
is likely TO make it more difficult to hear the ap-
preaching train although persons in wagons and
similar vehicles easily hear the approach of a
train. Too many motorists rush recklessy across
tracks.
The New York United States Circuit Court of
Appeals has also held that a person riding in an
automobile by invitation and occupying a front
seat is guilty of eontributory negligence and can
not recover damages in the event of an accident
II ne permits a driver without protest heedessly
to go on railroad tracks. The court rules that
persons riding in the rear seat under similar cir
cumstances are not guilty Of negligence.
The real lesson of these decisions is that auto
mobiles should exercise great care and caution
in approaching railroad tracks and if such care
werc exercised there would be fewer fearful mis-
ha ps TO motorists.

Editorial Opinion
Stupid Violence in Portugal

stupid violence In Portugal.
New York Sun.
While the regulation of the religious
orders and the separation Of Church
and State may be a pressing need for
a reformed Portugal the methods Of
pillaging churches and monasteries. Of
expelling high dignitaries and of en-
ploying violence on priests and nuns
will hardly commend themselves TO
foreign lockers on, nor, we fancy. to
enlightened Portuguese. The provisi-
Onal Government should see that the
new republic is secure by obtaining
the adhesion OF the country, the army
and the navy before using force on
any class of opponents. If It allows
the mob TO have it's will in the streets
of Lisbon il invites the immediate in
tervention of foreign Powers, and
should know that a couple of modern
cruisers will be enough to blow up the
whole Portuguese navy and to restore
order in Lisbon.
The danger of such course must
be plain to Senior Braga and the
other professors who have seized the
reins of government. The disorder is
doubtless against their wishes; it in
dicates that they do not control the
police and the army and that the Lis
bon rabble is becoming aware of their
powerlessness. 1t is not by brave proc
lamations alone that a republic is es-
tablished. The men who assumed
power must show that they can use it.
If street rioting is unchecked in Lis
bon it will be impossible to avoid in
juring the property of foreigners, and
Portugal is too weak and too near
to hope to have the impunity of Ven
ezuela in Haunting the nations Of
Europe. Unless the republic makes
good" very soon IL will be wiped out
as quickly as the monarchy was and
practical Portuguese will be called on
to decide what they mean to do with
their country.

KANSAS VIEW OF LIFE

During our long life we have re-
marked the exact time when many of
our friends have been marked by
death. They may live a year or two,
and go to the springs and try opera
tions, but death soon asserts itselff,
once it has marked a man. And We
have noticed that most men know 1t
when death sets its seal on them;
there is a certain mOurnfulness about
them that is pitiful; they don't want
TO go, but nothing can help them, and
they submit, and look off into vacancy
