FEMININE GRAcEs THE RESULT OF sERvITUDE.
By Helen Armstrong.

Marie Dow in her role OF an Oriental cap
tive maid pictured the whole history of fem
mine psychology. It was by trying to please
her lord and master. 1t was by exercising
every beguiling grace and charming vile that
she overcame him. Without the gentle power
Of her silence and the soft suasion of her
winsomeness the little prisoner would have
been powerless. Every woman has been a

find a people to whom our civilization. all our social,
and political, and economical, and commercial, and sci
entihc development is foolish and contemplate, and who
cannot condescend to give 1t any thought or attention,
while the mystery of life, the nature and destiny Of the
soul confronts US.
And of course the Eastern view is essentially right.
For with all our modern devices and inducements and
arguments we cannot hoodwink ourselves into a denial
and oblivion of the great spiritual problems of life.
However denuded, and ensnared, and overloaded by the
pomposity, and %trappings, and luxuries Of a rich ex-
ternal life We may be, however occupied with chattels,
trade, professions, undertakings. the mysteries are there
all the same and appertain to each human soul. And
as long as that is 50 it can never seem reasonable to
shirk or ignore them.
We know that the wise men came from the East.
Here life is simple. Commercial values and social in
terests and differences begin to wane. At last our spir-
itual apprehension can grow and expand at its ease, and

EAST PURPLE SPOT IN ~CoLoRLEss WORLD.

1t is well for the Western, greedy, ambi-
tious, jealous, noisy, sordid, vulgar, busy,
practical. aggressive, mundane Western to
visit the East, where the sole wish is to es-
cape from a world Of desire and action. Of
possessions and distinction. We came from

not affect the verify Of our ideals, of our improved hopes,
of our undemonstrated secret yearnings, of our un-
classified experiences.
Our minds are filled with sweet dreamings, with love
ly localities, with wonderful yearnings and hopes. Sci
ence has said nothing about them. But this silence OF
science in nowise discredits them. 1t does not render
them untrue or unbelievable. George Eliot wondered
whetber it were possible for us poor earthworms to
think, to conceive Of anything which the illimitable
universe wherein we dwell could not furnish out into
reality.
Is it not remarkable as well as delightful to suppose
that the big universe has far more than the earthworms
and earthwormlets can guess?

FACTS THE SAME HOWEVER EXPRESSED.
BY Ada May Krecker.

1t is the fashion nowadays to require scien-
tifc formulas for nearly all our thoughts.
That is because we are developing our scien-
tifc consciousness. We are thinking In scien'
tifc terms, talking in scientific language.
But this scientific habit and mannerism
of ours does not invalidate truths that
are not scientifically stated. 1t does not at
feet the accuracy Of our poetic idea. 1t does

England is the happy huntingground Of

band is, like the fire engine horse, always in the pink

rush forth to the most distant part OF the world and
kill a colored man. This explains the British Empire,
and, per contra, 1 may add, it explains the imperial
shortcomings of the United States, for here having once
provided for the wife in that station of life to which
it has pleased her to call him, and having served with

INFANTILE PARALYSIS.

Sixty-eight cases OF infantile paralysis,
or anterior polio-myelitis, in the Dis
trict of Columbia, had been reported
to the health officers by August Is, A.
of the cases having been reported in
the week ending with that day. The
total number of cases in the District
the health officers cannot state because
reports of cases of the disease are not
required by law.
The New Jersey State Board of
Health is greatly alarmed over a
spread OF iniantilc paralysis through
out New Jersey and is planning a
campaign to prevent it. According to
reports received, there has been an
alarming increase in this disease with
in the past few years. In Trenton
alone there have been 15 deaths from
the disease within two weeks.
Moved to speedy action by the in
crease in the number Of fatal cases OF
infantile paralysis there, Health Com
missioner Creighton has left Seattle,
Wash, for Kansas City, St. Louis
and Chicago to consult expert medical
men as to the best method OF stamp
ing out the disease. Up to this week
there have been so fatal cases, as many
as three in a family, and the number
of houses under quarantine for the
same disease is in the hundreds.

LABORERS POISONED.

A dispatch from Colon says conster-
nation has been caused throughout the
isthmus by the occurrence Of whole
sale case of poisoning at Gatun, which
is having fatal and far-reaching results.
In some unaccountable manner
poison became introduced into the food
which was being cooked for section OF
the vast labor camp. The food was
served in the shape of rations and hun
dreds oflaborers partook of it.
Over 200 laborers who ate the meal
Immediately showed symptoms OF
poisoning, some being more seriously
attacked than others.
Before long, however, nine OF the
victims had succumbed to the deadly
poison, and others were growing more
serious.
A rigid investigationinto the matter
is being held; but up 10 the time OF
cabling it is impossible to state definite
ly the way in which the poisoning was
introduced into the kitchen or into the
food.

FREDERICKSBURG MILLS BURN.

A fire in Fredericksburg last night
destroyed the Washington Woolen
Mills, of which John G. Melville is
manager. 1t was probably the most
disastrous fire in the history OF Fred
cricksburg. In addition to the heavy
loss to the owners about 800 men and
women are thrown out of employment,
The mill was enlarged last year, the
capacity doubled and much expensive
machinery installed. The pants factory
recently added to the enterprise was
saved by the fire department. The
mills were the most valuable industry
in Fredericksburg, having very large
weekly pay roll. Many families will
be affected by the fire.
The silk mills, another important
enterprise belonging to different owners
were saved. An immense crowd gather
ed and the fremen fought nobly.
Many families in ncighboring houses
moved their belongings to the street,
expecting the conhagration to reach
their home.
The insurance will fall far below the
amount OF the loss and is distributed
in many companies. New York parties
are interested with Mr.. Melville in the
ownership.

DESTRUCTIVE FIRE.

Fire that broke outafter s o'clock
last night in the warehouse district OF
Jersey City wiped out one entire block
Of business buildings and factories,
turned 1000 terrified families into the
street, killed one fireman, broke both
legs OF another by falling walls, and
was not out until after midnight,
when it had caused losses variously
estimated at from S1,000,000 to ST.
100000.
The fire started in the plant OF Trus-
low & Fulle, manufacturers, OF cork
products, at Washington and Morgan
streets. The flaming cork was carried
by the wind and iguited the plant OF
the Riegel-Sack Company across the
street. A few minutes later the lnde-
pendent Baking Powder works were
burning. Then, working up Washing
ton street, the fire attacked the w.
Amcs & Co. spike works and the Butler
Bros. notion warehouse.
The entire Jersey City fire depart
ment was on the scene at this stage,
and the baking powder plant was de-
molished with dynamite. But as the
flames continued to spread, aid was
summoned from New York and the
two departments worked together.
The vicinity is fringed with old wooden
tcnem ent houses, and occupied mainly
by dock laborers and their families, and
thousands poured into the streets, wall
ing and dragging their belongings and
screaming that they were going to be
killed.
The police could do nothing with
them without clubbing. Finally priests
from St. Anthony's Church appeared
among them and went about soothing
the women and scolding the men.

cayNoR,s FRIENDS ANXIOUS.

Reports from the hospital that the
bulletins from Mayor Gaynor's bed
side were masking the whole truth were
widely current in New York yesterday
afternoon and evening, with consider
able basis for credence beneath them.
The assertion was credited to Bobert
Adamson, the mayors secretary, that
the mayors condition yesterday was
fully rs serious as at any time since he
was shot, eight days ago.
Other reports had t'that the glands
in the mayors neck had begun to
swell, indicating the Development OF
dreaded blood poisoning; and from
this it was reasoned that if The swelling
increased pressure on one OF the blood
vessels abraded by the passage OF the
bullet might induce a hemorrhage,
with Immediately fatal results.
Secretary Adamson answered all these
statements, which had found their way
into print, with a fat denial. None of
the doctors in attendance would even
discuss them.
There remains the fact that there has
arisen consciousness among those in
touch both with the public and the sick
room that the official bulletins are
vigorously confined to the state symp-
toms and that at no time have they
ycntured on an assertion that the
mayor is out of danger or any definite
prognosis OF his ultimate recovery.
The officials who called were not ad-
mitted to the sick room. Whcnithey
left none would admit that there was
any foundation for the alarming rumors
of the afternoon.

Since the treaty of 1907 there has been less
