~ ALLAGHER,' whose attack on
az Mayor Gaynor a few months age
caused such widespread constern-
alton, has been sentenced to II years

count of his shooting of the Mayor, but
OF his attempt to kill Commissioner Ed

i IN HE Chinese are strong on pedigree.
i They have it all written down in
books, and it goes back thousands
of years, sometimes, if the family is dis
tinguiShed: In this record the women
of the family are designated by num-
/ bers--the poor things are not consid-
cred worth mentioning by name. How
ever, it looks as if along with the cut
ting off of the pigtail, the adjustment
of the foot-binding and all the other
| Chinese reforms this little matter will
also be corrected. A Chinese girl who
has graduated in medicine ard put out

umph of having her name, Mary Stone

! the last one of the u large volumes,
which contain the history of her family

TO her-brothers, cousins, uncles-agree
that she is of enough Importance to
| have it placed there, and have mag
unanimously ordered it done Which
matter, small as it is, will be received
with joy by the Woman's Fighters all
over the world.
VIZ LILLIAN E. COREY, President of

ton, has resigned his position.
Several years ago Mr.. Corey was very
| much in the limelight on account of his
divorce from the wife of his youth, who
| had struggled with him during years of
poverty and obScurity, and his suisse
quent marriage to the dashing actress,
Mabelle Gilman. 1t was thought then
that he would lose his position in the
Steel Corporation on account of this,
but he did not being too useful man
for the company to part with. His mar
rage with the actress has been salts
factory as far as the public knows. Mrs.
Corey spends most of her time at her
chateau, near Paris, and Mr. Corey is
with her much of the time. He sue
United States Steel Corporation, as he
followed Mr.. Schwab in the Presidency
of the Carnegie Steel Company. No rea-
son is given for Mr.. Corey's resigna ton.

AIR. BOOKER T. WASHINGTON
!" says he has been greatly helped
and encouraged in his work of
uplifting his race by two Southern men.
Mr.. John Parker, of New Orleans, and
Henry Watterson, the well-known ed
itor of the Courier-Journal- These men,
tho so different in type. one being n
practical business man and the other
but everybody knows just what sort of
a man Henry Watterson is-have both
in their way done much to increase Mr.. !
Washington's strength and faith when
discouraged as to Southern conditions
Mr.. Parker is a planter, and employs
large numbers of negros, and recently
he addressed gathering of colored
farmers at a conference held at Tuske-
gee Institute, where, altho he told the
negros some unpleasant truths. what he !
said was so generous, so sensible and
practical in every way that he produced
a profound impression, which is likely
to bear fruit.

w young ex-King Manuel was GO
ing to settle down to O. course
of study, all those who have been in
ciined to sympathize with him in his
recent troubles felt n lleener sympathy
and livelier interest in his prospects
of regaining PortugaFs throne AM
equal revulsion of feeling is now ex-
perienced by the news, If ii be true.
that he has again been seen in the COM
pany of the French dancer. Miss Gaby
Deslys. who has lately been in England.
1t hardly seems possible that this can
be true, however. Being under the pro-
lection of King George and Queen Mary,
as he is in way at present, he surely
would not incur their displeasure By so
fragrant an act of indiscretion. And
even If in the hot-headed thoughtless- |
ness of youth he were inclined to see
the dancer again, surely his mother and
the Duke of Orleans would take steps
to prevent it. Manuel is before the
world now to. show his mettle, and he
must mind his Ps and Q's very care
fully or all sympathy for him will be
withdrawn.
