MOLLY PITCHER FOR
 HALL OF FAME.

The movement to place in the Hall of Fame the bust of Molly Pitcher, the only woman sergeant in the United States Army, has the enthusiastic sup port of former Senator Chauncey M. Depew. In fact. the gallant senator from New York is always a champion for the equal rights of the ladies.
 It was in the important movements Of the year ITS that at the battle of Monmouth Molly Pitcher was carrying water to her husband, who was gunner of a battery at one piece of artillery. He was killed and the lieu tenant proposed to remove the piece out of danger, when Molly said, 'T can do everything my husband could," and she performed her husbands duties at his olG gun better than he could have done
 The next morning she was taken be- fore General Washington, her wonder full act was reported and its influence upon the fate of the battle, which was a victory, and Washington made her at once sergeant in the army to stand on the rolls in that rank as long as she lived.
 It seems appropriate now for us to place among the immortals and in the Hall of Fame this only woman ser geant of the United States army, who won her title fighting for her coun- try upon the field of battle and who is the evangel of woman's rights and woman's chisement.-"AffairS at Washington Joe Mitchell Chapple, in National Magazine for June.

WHAT IS A TRIGGER?
New Feature of Battleship Launching
 For the Future.

Washington, May 31.-A new feature of launching of U. S. battleships was 1naugurated when the battleship Texas <41d down the ways at Newport News, Va, recently, has come to stay and rill be a part of all future launch ings. Hereafter when describing launchings of this kind, reporters will write:
 'aThe trigger was released and the great ship slowly slid down the ways to the water
 What is a trigger?
 A trigger is a mechanical device which slips under the stern. The ways are greased with tons of tallow and everything is prepared for the launch ing Then the trigger is pulled. The trigger Is capable of holding back a weight equivalent to 500 tons. m the case of the battleship Texas the result aant force of the battleship resting on she ways and impelling it toward the water, was only POO tons, so that there was no danger of accident or of the great ship entering the water before all preparations had been made.
 Secretary of the Navy Meyer ex- pressed himself as greatly pleased with the success of the new device and it will be used in launching the battle ship New York Saving the timbers which hold dreadnaughts in their era dies Is now a thing of the past. There will be no more tiresome waits, and launchings will be conducted with a strictly mechanical promptness.

considerable wealth and are constant ly being extended. In certain sec tons tobacco has become a profita ble crop. and rice is also grown Os- triches fatten the purses of thousands of farmers in the Transvaal, and the ostrich corrall is a familiar sight on nearly every Boer farm. certain distinguished statesman of Dutch an- cestry would be delighted could he visit South African farm, for it is young couple indeed that don't boast of from six to twenty offspring. The latter number of children in fam is not at all uncommon. And they are, profitable, for every Boer young ster begins to pay his way, with a profit for his parents, from the time he is able to toddle. The last few years have been marked by a great increase in educational facilities, but many of the Boers do not appreciate the opportunities afforded by the nu- merous schools. While a majority of the Boers have accepted the changed regime, there remain thousands of ''unreconstructed" rebels against the established order, and there hatred of the '.Uitlander" shoulders as fiercely as ever
 If the average Boer farmer is a slave, his wife is the slave of a slave, toiling increasingly and uncomplaing- 1y from earliest morn until late at night. and bearing children as rapidly as nature permits. No matter how wealthy the farmer becomes, he con- tinues to live in the little adobe house of his ancestors, with sour bread and skinned milk as the main articles of diet Small wonder that the great majority of the Boers die before they reach fifty-although at that age most of them have outlived two or three wives. Thrift and abstinence from all luxuries and pleasures are a part of the religion of the Boers Slowly and gradually a change is coming over the spirit of the Boer. and eventually he will probably adopt the ways of the more civilized peo- ples now pouring into his country. At present he is an uncouth creature who harks back to the days when the man was the absolute owner of his wife and children and who looks upon schools and labor-saving machinery as devices of the devil. The horizon of his mind does not extend much far ther than that of his Kaffir servant but the Kaffir is hopelessly lazy, while the Boer is a. man who lives hard and fast. his energy ever burn ing. at white heat. With new ideals and the transformation has already commenced-the Boers will likely be- come the most progressive citizens of the South African Union

THE AWAKENING
 OF OLD CHINA
PULLMAN CARS, NEW MONEY AND THE DRAMA FOLLOW
 THE REVOLUTION.

Washington, May 31.-Republican money and Pullman sleeping cars are two innovations in old fashioned Chi na. The new Chinese Republic dol lars, the minting of which has just be- gun, bear two lions and the Chinese character for "One Dollar" on one side, and on the reverse, the charac- ters Current Money and Chinese Republic" with a wreath of flowers. Yuan Shi Kai has inspected the new coins and has given his approval of them.
 The first two sleeping cars available for service between Shanghai and Ranking was put into use April II. It is 68 feet long and the hunks are each feet long,
 The revolution appears to have greatly stimulated the drama in Chi ma. Recently a big theatre has been built in Shanghai, and a number of modern Chinese dramas are to be stag ed. For these productions, 30 actors have been engaged.

 The nomination and election of the boy students was left to thediscretion of the young ladies, and that of the girl students to the young men. These characteristics should not be taken too seriously for oftentimes in spirit of fun those would be elected to fill certain characteristics to whom the characteristic did not apply in the least.
 After the taking of the characteris- tics, as storm was brewing, all ad- journed to the Greenfield Country club house where some dancing was enjoyed. Refreshments were served and games played. On the trip back to the city popular songs were sung, cheers and yells given, and all enjoy ed themselves immensely. It was af- ter seven o'clock when the Seniors reached the city, tired but elated over the doings of the day.

POLICE. DISCREDIT TALE
 OF HOUSE OF BONDAGE

Detailing to the police a sensational story of being held in bondage in a house at 385 Water street, where Es- ther Lawrence resides, a woman giv- ing the name of Gladys Breen yester- day invoked the aid of the police in securing belongings she claimed were kept there when a few weeks ago she escaped through a window.
 The police investigated the story far enough to satisfy themselves that the story of white slavery was fiction and that the girl could get her be- longings wherever she went about get ting. them in the right way. Her escape through a window proved to be a convenient method of getting away without settling her indebted ness to the Lawrence woman.

SOUTH AFRICAN UNION
 IS TWO YEARS OLD

Today is the second anniversary of the official beginning of the United States of South Africa, the new gov ernment, formed by a union of the British colonies of Transvaal, Natal, Orange River and Cape of Good Hope having become an accomplished fact on May 31, 1910. On that date the consolidation was proclaimed and Vis- count Gladstone was inducted into office as Governor General of the Un- ion. A strongly centralized govern ment similar to the Dominion of Can ada, was the form adopted and it has worked quite successfully. Dur ing it's first two years the new gov- 0rnment has not been operated with out some friction, but already it has demonstrated Its superiority over the colonial rule.
 South Africa's wealth in tine past has come largely from it's diamond mines. but the two years of the Un- ion have witnessed great advances in agriculture, manufactures. and allied industries Immigrants from England and other countries are Hooking to South Africa by thousands. but still the country away from Cape Town Pretoria and other cities is sparsely settled. In the former Cape Colony the wine industries are source of
