PITY "SUPERFLUoUS WOMEN"
Problem Of Planning Happy Future
for i,244,55s Tackled by Eng
lish Conference.

According to the estimates Of the
census statistics, the supcrHuous
women for whom the delegates TO
the National Conference of Women
Workers at Southsea, England, tried
to plan a happy future numbered
1,244.55S at the middle of the pres
ent year.
The problem of the superHuous
woman by no means troubles every
town. In Davenport, for instance,
there are ISL women for every 1000
men; in Barrow-in-Furness S2S,
and in Rhondda only S25, while the
feminine element is in a minority
in other important centers of indus
try-the city of London, Southwark,
Woolwich, Poplar, Stepney, West
Bromwich, st. Helen's, etc.
The supernuous woman makes her
home in pleasanter places-in health
resorts on the south coast, in Bath,
the city of fashion, and in the royal
borough of Kensington, where there
are 1857 women to every 1000 men.
In Bournemouth the disparity be-
tween the sexes is even greater, the
women numbering 1,709 to every
900 men.
If England has its superhuous
women, however, the colonies have
their surplus men, as the conference
matchmakers pointed out. There
are more men than women in every
state in the Australian common
wealth. According to statistics for
the quarter ending June, men pre-
dominate to the number of 223, 1896
in the antipodes.
In Canada, according to the latest
statistics, there is a surplus of 1884,
100 men. The superfuous women
might also turn their attention to
South Africa, with the exception of
the Orange River colony, where
women are in the majority.

WOMEN WEAR MALE CLOTHING
TWO Well-known French Ladies' Who
Don Mans Attlre-Wifo OF oe-
ographer 10 One.

There are two ladies in France
privileged to wear male clothing.
One of them is a journalist, the 9TH
or is the well-known explorer and
wife of the eminent geogrspher,
Mime. (the wife Of professor) Dieu-
lafoy. Nine. Dieulafoy has worn
mems clothes so long that she feels
uncomfortable in any others now,
and with her short hair and hand
some old face she looks more like
"A clever elderly gentleman than like
a clever old lady. There was a re-
ception, followed by theatrical per-
Torrance, at the Elysee the other
evening, and Professor and Nine.
Dieulafoy was among the guests.
Nine. Dieulafoy went up to fun
key who had programmes in his
hand and asked him for one.
81 am very sorry, sir" he said,
"but they are for the ladies only"
llV lhNlutnb diluSeu L resident
Fallieres, who overheard the answer,
very much.
But Nine. Dieulafoy had an even
funnier experience. She had new
valet de chambre. He had come the
day before, and when she rang the
bell in the morning it was the new
man who answered.
"Will YOU bring up my clothes p''
she said.
The man said Certainly" and
went. Half an hour later Nine.
Dieulafoy rang her bell again with
some impotence.
"What about my clothes ?" she
asked.
The man looked very worried. 81

found two suits of masters clothes,
But madame's clothes seem to have

The Virginia Debt.

While the state printer at Char
lesion seems to be kept well sup
piled with copy affecting matters
that show the administration In q
favorable light, there is a remarka-
BILE scarcity of documents eminat-
ing from his Office on the Virginia
debt question. Aud yet the debt
question may prove to be more
important TO the taxpayers than all
the department of state government
combined.
1t may be pertinent to recall to
the minds Of the people the fact that
Democrat legislatures have taken
the position that West Virginia does
not owe a single cent to the m other
state, and that under Democra tic
rule there was never at any time
any danger that any portion of the
debt of Vir6 mia would be saddled
on the taxpayers Of this state. 1t
was not until the Republicans Sc
cured control that the certificate
holders in Wall street together
with some holders of the securities
in this state, if reports be true
found way to get the matter into
the courts. where il new seems very
likely that decision will be render
ed which will place debt of from
ten to twenty million dollors upon
West Virginia.
1t will be re rendered also that
during the last session of the legis-
lature the members of that body as
sembled behiud closed doors, listen
ed to a statement by counsel for the
state of West Virginia in .he suit
pending in the supreme court of
the United States, in which it was
represented that every thing looked
favorable TO this state, 50 much in
fact, that members of the Legislature
who are unfamiliar with the legal
point involved, took home with them
the comforting conviction that West
Virginia would come OUT of the
case with colors flying, not only
owing nothing to the old state, >brt
having balance 70 her credit,
There ore great many things in
connection with the debt case which
have a suspicious look, and not the
least of them Is the lack Of informa-
ton concerning it which ought tC
be furnished by w. Nj. o. Dawson
and others of the f.t salaried counse
who are supposed to be looking aft.
