HE DIDN'T LIKE THE PUFFS
of Ills Refusal to Give His Seat to Woman.

A young woman entered the car and man near the door started me- chanically to give her his seat. Then he looked at her, changed his mind and settled back, leaving her to stand.
 His companion smiled. "Think she looks able to stand, ehP Suffra- gette, perhaps? p
 'No, it isn't that. It's those in- fernal puffs. I'll be--blamed if I'll give up my seat to woman who has no better Sense than to go around with a hair mattress on her head. I have some respect for a suffragette who wears her own hair, but abso- lutely none for puffs and rats and other falsities that some women seem to think make them look bet ter. They don't. Every woman can find some way of dressing her own hair which is becoming to her. Rats and false hair are, 10 mo, an evil dence of non-intelligence. I like to be chivalrous toward woman who is worthy of the name, but woman discredits her sex with such mon- strosities as that girl carries on her head. She can't be neat The pro- cess itself is not neat. If she were a South African l might not expect anything better of her, but of an American girl I do. No, perhaps I cart do much toward reforming the sex, but at least I have the satisfac- tion of showing my disapproval.

SAVING THE YOUNGSTERS.

Mrs. Booker T. Washington says that the idea of the juvenile court grows very slowly in the south. She says that boys and girls are sent to prison for slight offenses and there associating with older prisoners learn much evil. Local colored women's ,clubs in Alabama have taken the matter up, she says, and have suc- ceeded in establishing reformatories where bad boys and girls may be taught as we'll as punished. The governor of the state found the re- formatory of go much good that he took charge of it. In Pennsylvania, Arkansas and Kentucky colored women's clubs have been working along the same lines.

tect foreign interests in .Santo Domingo

sassination of President Caceres and pre-
ceding the installation G. his successor
1t is believed to be the purpose Of the
government to make sure ishat there shall
be an adherence to the constitutional re-
quirements in Santo Domingo In filing
the presidential vacancy To this end
moral suasion is being uted, but this will
be amply supported by stronger measures
in case they may be NECESSARY to re-
strain the unbridled ambition of the va
rious asp.rants for the presidency who
may be tempted to seize the reins Of
power In a lawless fashion.
Tho eunboat Wheeling sailed yesterday
from Santo Domingo the capital city. for
Puerto Plata, on the north coast Of the
island. bearing as q passenger Gen. Luna.
Although no official statement as to the
purpose of his trip can be obtained. IT is
believed that Luna is going to Puerto
Plata in the name of Vclasquez, tho min-
lister of finance, whose friends in the
north are reported to have begun a move
ment to install him forcibly In the presi-
dency, to induce them to discontinue their
illegal methods.

The object OF the legislation to be pro-
posed, II Is understood. Is to give the
Commissioners uniform authority over the
street railway companies in the matter of
paving. regardless of whether the tracks
are In the outlying districts or in the
city proper.
For some time the matter has been
given cons. deration by the Commission
ers. The necessity for action OF some
kind recently was given renewed impetus
when they received communication from
the Brightwood Park Citizens Associa-
tion complaining Of the cond. ton Of the
space between the tracks Of the Washing
ton Railway and Electric Company on
Brightwood avenue.
Dirt blows into the cars from this space.
It was claimed, causing no little annoy
ance to passengers. The association stated
that 1t did not know whether to appeal
to the railway company, the District eiec-
trtc railway commission or the Commits
sioners for relief.
Whether the legislation to be proposed
will recommend that the charters OF the
companies be amended Is not known. for
the reason that Capt. Brooke's decis on ~
the matter has not yet reached the Com
missioners. II Is believed that the ques-
ton will be taken up and disposed OF at
an early date.

Capt. Mark Brooke, Assistant
Engineer Commissioner,
May SO Recommend.

Legislation requiring all street rail-

recommended to Congress at the coming
session, IL the Commissioners adopt a
recommendation to that effect which has
been submitted by Capt. Mark Brooke.

While the papers In the contemplated
action have not been made public, it

that Capt. Brooke has decided that the
Commissioners should be given additional
or at least clearer authority In the
matter OF controlling street railway COM
panies in the suburban sections, and has
recommended legislation as the most
practical means of meeting the situation.
At the present time the Commissioners
can compel the railway companies in

Where Defense Would Show.

Were it possible for any one OF the prin-
cipal eastern eievens to play any one OF
the principal western e,evens. no matter
whether the eastern players made a big
score or q small score, the chances are
that the score OF the western eleven
would not be startling In its size, simply
because OF the better defensive play OF
the eastern team.
That dio not apply in the game between
Pennsylvania anu Michigan TINS y"ar, but
the Pennsylvania team OIL this season Is
not a representative eastern team, for the
very 5000 reason that the foot ball ma
terlal at Pennsylvania this year was
weaver than 1t has been for many sea-
son. The Quakers are playing better
than they did. but the team has had to be
rebuilt from almost nothing. so Tar Is ex-
peTieuced players are concerned.
That the general average OF foot ball Ia
the west is better than 1t ever has been
is true. but the inclination In the west to
assume that better foot ball Is paved tn
that section than In the east will require
q much better demonstration than the
mere assertion that such is the case.
