DECLARES WOMEN RARELY HAVE
SUCCESSFUL CAREER OF CRIME

tive Of revenge, they are more cruel
and INSCRIPTIONS than 1t would be
possible to believe. The few women
who have made a temporary success
of this sort of thing have been con-
sidered by psychology experts to be
mentally unbalanced. because they
have resorted to such extreme meas
ures to attain their end.
There's not man on the force"
he added, who doesn't dread being
put on tho trail Of a woman. I sup
pose it's the old feeling of chivalry
that has survived suffrage and the re-
form movements. They don't like
having anything to do with the ar
rest or conviction Of a woman"
Women Not Good Detectives.
Asked If women made good de-
teetives. Capt McGovern answered
with very emphatic mo-"
Women are too emotional and too
easily taken in to have even the first
requirements of detective. In many
cases they will believe almost any
hard-luck story that the prisoner can
tell. I often hear woras1 being ac-
cused of being harA On their sax.
This certainly ta..,'t been found true
in my expe>ience. for in the district

pleaded for the release of girl who
knew how to work on her sympathies.

Great Work on Constitution
accomplished BY Young Men

dium of our country's national ex-
inal thirteen states. Not until the
summer of 1873 was the ratification
of even nine states obtained. begin
ming with Delaware. OF the thir-
teen original states. Rhode Island was
the last to accept the Constitution,
which she did in May, 1890.
George Washington presided over
the deliberations Of this convention
and was. therefore. the first member
to sign the instrument when finished.

states reject this excellent Constitu-
ton, the probability is that an OPP
portunity will never again be offered

it not been for his timely and healing
wisdom, the convention would have
probably ended in the breaking up of
the body.
Senator Lodge, in his very learned
address on the history of this great
instrument. at Raleigh. some years
ago. said: Let US glance over the
list of delegates to this constitu-
tional con convention. .ad; find to begin ia
with, tndt tnelr average dSe was
forty-three years, ranging from
franklin, who was eighty-one, to
John F. Mercer Of Virginia, who was
twenty-eight. But when 1 looked to
see who were the most active forces
in that convention, 1 found that the
New Jersey plan was brought for
ward by William Patterson, who was
forty-two; that the Virginia plan was
proposed by Edmund Randolph, who
was thirty-five, while Charles Pinck-
ney of South Carolina, whose plans
played a large part in the making of
the Constitution, was only twenty
nine years old. The greatest single
argument, perhaps. which was made
in the convention was that of Hamil-
ton, who was thirty years old. The
man who contributed more. possibly,
than any other to the daily labors of
the convention and who followed
every detail. was Madison, who was
thirty-six. The Connecticut COM
promise was very largely the work
of Ellsworth, who was forty-two.
and tho committee on style. which
made the final draft, was headed by
Gouverneur Morris. who was thirty
five.
LET us note. the senator says.
there at the outset that youth and
energy. abounding hope and the
sympathy for new times stretching
forward into the great and uncharted

HOPEWELL, Va, September H.
The board Of aldermen's meeting this
week was taken up mainly with q
discussion of the maintenance of local
.schools during the coming semester
and Superintendent of Schools r. K.
,Hoke. who attended the meeting, gave
estimates on the costs of operating
the schools with an enlarged curricu-
.lum. 1t was estimated that the cost
of the schools to the city would be
over $1,000 month, and that slightly
larger sum would have to be paid by
the county.
, According to Mr.. Hoke. many new
courses will be instituted in the
schools this year. including manual
. training and business courses, and
/. these additions will add somewhat to
the expense of the schools.
Owing to the fact that more people
live in the villages surrounding Hope
well than in the corporate limits Of
the city itself, the county will be
called on to pay the major part Of the
expense of operating the schools.
