later he left the law to attempt the construction of the tubes, and from 1902 until 1912 he was president of the Hudson and Manhattan Railroad company, which eventually succeeded in driving the tunnels through to the Jersey shore.
 MCAdoo's struggle 10 construct the tubes bristleS with human interest In addition to being without means o his own he put the tubes through ant knowing but few men of wealth he was handicapped in his efforts by the fact that previous attempts to con struct the tubes had been abject fail urcs. McAdoo's first step was to in- terest the capitalist who had been the heaviest loser by the previous tube failure. Once McAdoo's initial tube collapsed And when it finally was driven through to the Jersey shore and McAdoo had been the first man to walk through it, there was long | and bitter but futile fight on the prof
 ect. When McAdoo left the prcsi dency of the company in 1912 to en- ter President Wilson's cabinet as sec rctary of the treasury the company $ investment represented S7O,0OO,OOO, all raised from private sources, and 1t was operating three tunnels.
 Until 1911, when McAdoo became interested ill the candidacy of Wood row Wilson. he had taken no active part iii politics and he scarcely knew the future president. They had me once at Princeton while one of Nc Adoo's sons was in school there, but that was all. McAdoo soon became stanch advocate of Mir Wilson. however, and as a delegate to the Baltimore convention acted as one of the Wilson managers on the floor Later he was made vice chairman of the National Democratic committee, and when, in 1912, Chairman McComb retired, McAdoo took active charge of the Wilson campaign.
 The ensuing five years which Me Adoo spent in the cabinet were busy ones. He became, in a word. the handy man" of the administration and many heavy responsibilities wer placed upon him. At ono time h. occupied the positions of secretary ot the treasury, chairman federal reserve board. chairman farm loas board chairman war finance corporation chairman international high commits sion, and director general of rail roads.
 Serious financial problems arose shortly after McAdOo became sccrc tary of the treasury and he was called upon to make many quick and ifupor tant decisions. Scarcely had he taken office when a destructive flood swept Dayton. Ohio, and bankers there telc graphcd him that fear of run" on their institutions made them hesitate to open their doors. MCAdoo tele- graphed in reply that he would imme diately send S2,000OGO to the banks, and when this word became public the run" did not materializc. When q general panic threatened in June. 1913, he aunuuuccd that he would make available $5O0.000,O00 in govern ment funds to all banks that would apply for it and comply with the law ill obtaining loan. Two months later, when there was a shortage ot money to move crops, McAdoo de posited S35000,000 in central western and southwestern banks with the uu- derstanding that 1t would be loaned to farmers at reasonable rates ot 1n-

BLACK HORSE 5 SHAFT DOWN
 1OO FEET

The l00-foot level at the Black Horse mine, which is being opened by the Peak Silver Mining company. was reached Tuesday night. The cleaning out of this old shaft has been extremely interesting to the stockholders of the company for the mine has a record of high grade ore shipments dating back 30 years. The old timbers are found in an excellent state of preservation, requiring no new installations.
 Drifting will now be started north and south at the present level. The ore shoot is at least 800 feet long north of the shaft and 300 10 400 feet long south of the shaft.
 The Black Horse ground was or iginally located by (. w. Wallace, of Prescott, g years ago. His first work was done ill the shaft just cleaned out by the Peak company. From the grass roots to the water level, 40 feet, he made the work pay for itself from the ore taken out Another shaft was put down about 200 feet north of the Peak shaft by Wallace to a depth of 5 feet, from which he took out considerable ore flat netted him $74 a ton at the old pioneer mill on the flat north oi the mine.

FRENCH REPUBLIC PROCLAIME

From Fifty Years Ago." in the Wash
 ington Star.
 M0 APoLEON'S disaster in 1870, when
 | M he with an entire army was cap tured at Sedan, caused immediate reaction in Paris, where his empire was overthrown and republican government was organized. The Star of September 5, 1870, -said
 "A new phase of the European question is presented by our telegrams today, showing that the corps legislatif has unanimously declared the forfeiture of the Napoleon dynasty and that republic has been proclaimed in the streets of Paris. Four weeks ago the declafation of a republican Paris might have set the elements of revolution at work through out Europe, but now it is too late to have more effect seemingly than to give fresh fury to the popular turmoil. How this furious effervescence of feeling on the part of the people of Paris can be counted upon to afford material for any solid, real resistance to the march of the overwhelming Prussian columns 1t IS difficult to see. Probably the action of the people of Paris may cause the various Actresses now besieged by the Germans to essay further resistance, and Will

Connecticut Ratifies
 Suffrage Amendment

n IL doubt as to the legal status AA of woman's suffrage was re- moved by the action of the Connecu- cut legislature yesterday in ratffy- ing the Nineteenth amendment. Only eleven votes were cast against ratlfl- cation by the lower house and none in the senate.
 Connecticut thus becomes the thirty-seventh state to ratify the suf- frage amendment, one more than necessary to make it part of the constitution. Although the amend ment had already become officially the law of the land, there was still some uncertainty caused by the situa- ton in Tennessee.
 Regardless of what Tennessee or any other state thinks about it, women now have the right to vote and they
 
 are already exercising the privilege. That they intend to take an active part in politics is shown by their eagerness to register. The wpmen's vote figured in the recent elections in Maine, and will be an important factor in the national election.
 While The Age-Herald believes it would have been a graceful act for Alabama to ratify the amendment and join the enlightened states which have given women the ballot, no practical purpose would be served by such ac- tion now. The matter is settled. The Nineteenth amendment will never be repealed.

Gregory Mason, in the Outlook.
 TN the dining car of the Peking-Han-
 Row Railway line, Chinese walters q who speak smattering of French serve cosmopolitan dishes to travellers of all nationalities who like to come and 20 between Picking and the coast by way of Hankow and the steamers on the River Yangtse.
 At one table sit a Japanese professor and an attache from the Japanese lega- tion. Both are lean and spectacied. Their sparse, badly trimmed mustaches bristle defiantly. They pitch into the cosmopolitan dishes with savage impar- tiality and conclude with a ferocious champing of toothpicks and cigars.
 What a contrast to this feverish feast ing is the placid gormandizing or three Chinese exporters at another table. They clean their plates at each course. too' but their full figures and round, contented faces bear witness that their slow, qulet way of acquiring nourishment does the body more good than the mad munching of the lean Japanese.
 Beyond the Chinese. and fatter even than they are two Russians, man ana a woman. Each ones thick body IS wedsed tightly between chair and table. and each ones neck and cheeks arc creased with layers of fat. Their elbows are squared their napkins are tucked tn at the neck like chiidren's bibs. Eating is the serious business of life with them. and never a word do they exchange with each other. Slower eaters than the Jap- anese. faster than the Chinese. they att tack their food with a voluptuous deter mination, revolting enjoyment marked by grunts and lip smacking which far exceeds the frank gustatory pleasure of the orientals. When a Russian is bestial. he is the most bestial thing in the world. unless it be a bestial German. After they have finished a meal which would have filled a Gargantua and laboriously raised their shapeless bodies to leave the car, the woman drops her napkin under her foot and scuffs it all the way to the door. Only that touch of final crudity is needed to make complete the disgust

2 2 . Another School Year

 It is costing more and more to pro- vide buildings and a qualified and adequate teaching force. On the other hand, the better we equip our chil- dren the more able they will be to care for the obligations which we as- sume in their name and which we pass on to them.
 The increment of states wealth is in direct proportion to the educated intelligence of its people. That is not only theoretically correct, but it is demonstrable by the cold data o commercial, financial and industrial fact.

Would Save Time

One of the things that amuses me is the way people leave the street cars" said M. L. Billings of New York. T have noticed with more than usual interest the fact that people here in the majority of instances wait until the street car has completely stopped and then start out of the car to get off. They seem to think the street cars do not have schedules to run on, but are just here to accommodate them. 1t seems to be that the cars would make better time if persons expecting to dismount at certain corner would be ready to get off when the car stopped. This would abolish delays in waiting and would be great saving of time, I believe"
