Getting a Start NATHANIEL 3' G FOWLER FOWLER
CULTURE.

what they have obtained for the
benefit of society, whether they be
teachers. traders, or diggers of the
soil. They do not live in feudal
houses with walled premises. They
mingle with the world; and, al
though they never descend to the
wholly worldly, they recognize the
world in which they five.
Culture, which is taken like
medicine or put on like gown or
coat, is merely the veneer of the
real. True culture, and true re-
fnement, come from the inside and
manifest themselves outwardly. They
are obtained by living correctly, by
improving opportunity, and by hav-
ing an everlasting respect for others
and an unquenchable desire to ben-
eft humanity
Education and refined environment
will help to develop culture, but
neither by itself will produce any
grade of it worth the cultivating.
Probably half of the so-called cul-
tured have the bacteria, not the life,
of culture in them. They are snobs,
with no conception of what culture
is, and they do not know how to
define refinement. They are gen.
tlemen in appearance, first, last, and
always. and they place culture on
pinnacle without a substantial foun-
dation.
Do not try to be cultured. Do
not try to be refined. Be manly.
If you love your fellow-men, if you
would improve yourself to the limit
of your capacity, whether you are,
or are to be, college professor,
seller of groceries, or a bootblack,
give no thought to culture. Think
not of refinement. Make the most
of yourself. and culture will take
care of itself.

$1,000 Mexican money that the fed

Little light was shed on the situation
around Torreon today. aside from the
information conveyed in a message from
Gen. Benavides, stating that the lara

Gems. Hernandez, Chao. and Garcia, and
that the combined forces were moving on
Torreon. No mention was made of any
fighting, and the location Of the federal
advance guard was not indicated.

Military headquarters at juarez denied
any knowledge of Villas movements.
Federal officials here are equally uncom-
municative.

to use in the Torreon campaign cannot
be repaired in time for use in the battle.

The dictionary defines culture as
L "An act of improving or de-
veloping by education, discipline, &c
the state of being cultivated; re-
finement in manners and taste"
Culture, like all other good things,
may be overdeveloped and overem-
phasized, and be given a position
which it does not deserve; and. fur
ther, it may be practiced to an ex-
tent which makes its possessor
ridiculous.
Many members of the, so-called
cultured class are overrehned and
unnatural They worship at the
shrine OF culture. forgetting that
culture in itself is worthless and
that true culture is the result of
character, not an outside garment.
A proportion of book-learned and
specifically educated people have
refined themselves educationally, to

Great men. whether educated or
not, are natural first and cultured

product of character, not a varnish.

Housekeepers' Alliance viii Disclose
. Lons-sousht Remedy at Meeting
at Raleigh This Afternoon.
BY DOROTHY VAN coURTLAND.

Solution of the servant problem for
benefit of the vexed and discouraged
American wife is the battling task which
has been essayed in the National Capital
by society women in the Housekeepers
Alliance, and a jubilant announcement
of a triumph over the knotty question
was made last night by members of the
alliance who secretly have been invesu-
eating the problem for months.
Plans for the solution as tentatively
outlined by fair students OF the problem
will be revealed to the public for the
first time at a meeting of the alliance al
the Raleigh Hotel at 2:3o o'clock this
afternoon, and scores Of housewives who
have despaired of ever reaching solu-
tion have been invited to be present TO
hear the story of how the servant puzzle
Is to be defeated.
Efforts to CLEAN an inkling Of the plans
last night were well-nigh futile. but one
member OF the Alliance whose enthusiasm
lent her bit of loquaciousness gave
resume OF the story Of how Mrs w ID.
Bigelow, member OF the alliance. sever
al months ago assembled a group OF
society women as aids and attacked the
problem in such systematic. business-like
manner that success seemed assured.
Investigation revealed that the servant
problem is uch entangled in high cost
Of living and divorce problems and that
a solution Of the puzzle will play an I'M
portant part in stemming the flight OF iv-
ing costs and lessoning the ever-increas-
ing number of divorces Upon this
theory the planners outlined a scheme
whereby wives of Washington always
may be supplied with efficient servants

will be furnished from garret to cellar
as a home. A kitchen with every facility
for a perfect cuisine will be installed
Then a teacher of domestic science is to
be put in charge with a number of cap
able aids.
Invitations TO Join the school will be
extended to colored girls who desire to
learn housekeeping. Free tuition will be
an attraction that is expected TO draw
more student servants than the school
will accommodate. When a servant has
completed the course another will take
her place. so that hundreds Of servants
can be instructed in a year.
Practical business methods will pre-
vail and the school will be conducted as
a boarding house a family of busi-
ness women will live in the school and
women who have grown weary Of res

sources does not pay expences, members
OF the alliance will guarantee contribu-

" Murphy must go. Organized
baseball stands united on this
question. Ban Johnson's threat TO
drive the owner of the Cubs without
the fold is no idle boast. He will be
backed by every one of Murphys own
colleagues-the seven other club pres
idents of the National League.
Murphy is a menace to the peace
Of our organization" said National
League club owner yesterday. He
is far too erractic, both in his actions
and in his talk. His latest outburst
against Ban Johnson and Governor
Tener proves him undesirable. l do
not blame the American League eN-
ecutive for demanding vindication on
our part.
"Murphy's case is up to Governor
Tener. His power in the National
League is absolute, as is that OF
Johnson in the American. President
Tener signed four year contract
with US last week At the time every
club owner of the National League
save Murphy, who had left town
signed a contract giving our president
supreme power in National League
affairs We voted to give Mr.. Tener
full authority to deal with Murphy"

ity that the National League intends
to impeach Murphy at once II he
refuses to step down and out. lie

criticising Ban Johnson and his own
league.
At the time Tom Lynch succeeded
in driving Horace Fogel from organ

magnates among them Murphy
unanimously signed an agreement
which made capital offenSe of any
club officials attack upon the honesty
or integrity of organized baseball or
those associated with it, In his
latest "squeal" against Johnson and
his National League associates the
Cub owner has defied this mandate.
But the league is prepared to rake
out the dead past if Murphy may not
be dislodged in easier fashion. League
Attorney Toole spent most of yes
terday searching for a copy of the
celebrated letter which Murphy wrote
to a sporting writer of Chicago, and
which directly connected Charles w.

Boxing fans are taking Ad Wolgast

plenty of hackers when he stacks up
