A late historical novel called "The

For the first time since her creation
woman lias recently Avon something
like a fair c-ham-e in the fields of knowl
edge and practical endeavor. She is
proving so well her right to these op
portunities anil her capacity to use
them nobly that they will never be

of the genius of women in more and
more lines of the world's work.
Sousa , the popular bandmaster , was
summoned to play before King Edward
VII. After his men hnd rendered vari
ous selections he spoke a quiet word of
command , and "The Stur-Spangled
Banner" rang out. At the first note
of it the King roe. and the whole brill
iant audience followed his example. Our
American folk may learn a lesson even
from a king. It is no true democracy
that tries to demonstrate its worth by
a display of bad manners. Wherever
our national air is played or wherever
our flag waves , there hats should come
off and a salute l > e given. Girls ought
to devise a graceful gesture of respect.
Boys have theirs prescribed for them.
On such marks of reverence patriotism
thrives , and there will never come a
day when a republic can live without
vital patriotism.
The immigration bill which the
House of Representatives passed pro
poses to shut out anarchists , and also
persons over lo years old who can
not read. Unfortunately , there is no
sure way by which anarchists can be
identified. Now and then the pro
posed prohibition might be enforced
against some notorious representative
of the class , but in general Its chief
service would be as an expression of
the national detestation. As to illit
erates , not every immigrant who can
not read is dangerous or burdensome.
Some such persons have become use
ful citizens ; but as a class , they are a
menace. Handicapped by their de
ficiencies in the competition with the
more intelligent and energetic , they
lose heart. Their tendency is to mass
themselves in the great cities , and
many of them become public burdens
in the poorhouses. asylums and jails.
The increasing volume of immigration
makes this an urgent question. During
the first four months of the present
year immigration was more than one-
half larger than in the corresponding
period last year or the year before , and
more than one-half of the immigrants
are natives of the countries which fur
nish most illiterates. The United States
cannot justly be charged with liberal
ity if it declines to go on trying to
assimilate the world's Ignorance at this
rate.
No less an authority than Mr. Car
negie is convinced that an academic
education is a handicap rather than a
help in business , but a large percentage
of the graduating class of the academic
department at Yale are figuring on a
business career. There are 84 of these
young men , against 7S who Intend to
become lawyers , and of 42 who have
arrived at no decision yet as to the
choice of an occupation it is probable
that more will go to business than to
the law. Young men in such an uncer
tain state of mind are likely to have
their choice determined by chances for
immediate returns , which are rendered
impossible by a long course of profes
sional study. It is remarkable that
those who have taken the academic
course to prepare for business outnum
ber the would-be teachers nearly five
to one , as there are only 17 of the lat
ter , while minor classes trail off as
follows : Doctors , 11 ; ministers ( in
cluding one foreign missionary ) , 9 ;
farmers ( including one "planter" and
one "rancher" ) , 6 ; newspaper men , 8 ;
architects. , ° , ; artists , 1. The fact is
that if a liberal education were merely
a preliminary stage to study and work
in the professions our supply of col
leges would be ridiculously large , and
Ilie classes in every one of them would
undergo a fearful shrinking. But there
is no good ro.son why the liberal edu
cation should lie so considered. If it
is a handicap in business the value of
culture in the business men who sur
vive it is indisputable , and it would
be a groat pity if it were thc exclusive
monopoly of lawyers , teachers , doctors
and ministers. The more there are of
these business young men who strive
for it the better will it be for the coun
try.
One of the most remarkable stories
in iho annals of human degeneracy is
that relating to Jane Toppnn , the Bos
ton professional trained nurse. She
lias confessed that she lias killed by
administering poisons thirty-one per
sons placed under her care to be nursed
iu sickness. She practiced on private
patients , not in hospitals , where her
victims might have filled a longer list.
She says that she was able to deceive
the best doctors , who took her word
in explaining the causes of the numer
ous deaths which she procured instead
of making the personal examination in
each case which their duties involved.
To what extent does this loose prac
tice prevail in hospitals and in private
practice where-professional nurses are
employed ? It is entirely improbable
that numerous cases like that of Jane
Toppnn have occurred , but her case is
a warn Lug and lesson. No physician
should lake the word of another per
son as to the cause of deatli in a case
submitted for his examination. Miss
Toppan's confession related to every
phase of her career as an habitual
poisoner. She described the impulse
under which she acted in administer
ing poisons to her victims. The story
is like a hideous nightmare. It pre
sents a habit of introspection like that
which great students of mental science
have followed. There have been weird
instances where men watched and no
ted down in the interest of science
their symptoms as insanity or death
approached by slow degrees while they
retained partial consciousness. But
such a case as this is probably with
out a parallel. Miss Toppan recognized
the symptoms when her homicidal ma
nia was approaching to take possession
of her impulses and acts. This is evn
deuce of her responsibility in some de- >
gree. She knew what she was about :
Her conscience warned her of thd
criminal impulse before it obtained
complete control of her. Many persons
exhibiting greater appearances of in
sanity than Miss Toppan manifested
have been hanged for murder. Sho
was conscious of each crime which slid
committed , of the wrong and depravity
which It involved and of the degener
acy which her nature had reached ,
which she admits. L'nder these cir
cumstances her responsibility for hei'
acts is practically established. Sha
should have paid the penalty of her
crimes Instead of being rewarded with
that asylum of rest and peace which
she solicited and obtained in a hospital
for the insane.
IMPROVED SAFETY COAT HOOK.
While the coat hook with lock at
tachment is not entirely new , yet tlio
one here illustrated has an adjusting
arrangement to
take garments of
various thickness ,
which shows an
improvement over
those heretofore
used. It also has
the advantage of
confining the key
until the hook is
loc-ked thus
, pre
venting the user from accidentally re
moving the key before it is locked ,
thinking he had already locked it , and
also from withdrawing the key and in
tentionally carrying it off when he has
unlocked the apparatus to remove his
coat One part of this device is rigid
ly secured to the wall by screws , while
the other portion slides vertically to ad
just the size of the aperture to fit the
thickness of the cloth. The rigid mem
ber has a toothed rack at the rear and
slotted guides on either side , in which
tlie loose member slides. The locking
mechanism Is so arranged that a turn
of the key brings the flat end of the
bolt mto a horizontal position and
forces it backward until It rests in one
of tlie slots of the rigid member. In
use the coat and hat are deposited on
the hook , the sliding clamp is lowered
until the arm firmly grips the gar
ments and a turn of the key throws the
bolt and locks the clamp.
Styles Change.
In spring , some fifty
years "ago , our grand-
sire threw aside the
headgear he had worn
about through winter's
sleet and snow , and
donned a straw hat ,
tall and wide , con
structed like a tower.
Within was room
enough , to hide a
book or two to while

things beside. The taller 't was th <
better our granddad was satisfied
The style has changed since that
fair day. Utility's no longer sought ,
and now our youngsters think

RISKS LIFE FOR SON
MOB NEAR HAZELTON STABS
SPECIAL POLICEMAN.
Uazclton , Pa , Aug. 27. August
Sheuch , aged fifty-six years , a special
policeman in the service of trie Le-
high Valley Coal comyanv was as
saulted and stabbed on tlib outskirts
of the city today whiie attempting to
rescue his son , William Sheuch , a
non-union workman , employed at the
company's No. 40 collieryfrom a mob
of about 3,000 strikers , who had
gathered from all parts of the Ifazel-
ton region on the roads leading from
the mine , to frustrate the plans of
the company fora ; partial resumption
of operations with a non-union force
of 2,10 hands.
A majority of the non-union men
were taken to the workings in a spe
cial train , with which the strikers
did not attempt to Interfere. Will
iam Sheuch , who lives in the city ,
walked from his home toward the
colliery and thus fell into the hands
of the pickets. Most of the clothing
was torn from his back in the strug
gle which followed. When Sheuch's
father rushed to his aid the mob set
upon the elder Sheuch , who was fi
nally rescued by a mine foreman and
removed to the miners' hospital.
Sheuch was stabbed in the breast
and on each hip , kicked in the ab
domen and struck on the head with
a stone. His injuries are not very
serious. The knife which was sunk
into his breast , struck a rib and that
fact probably saved his life. The
effort to prevent work at the mine
was successful.
The report of a resumption at the
Cranberry colliery of A. Pardee & Co.
caused about 5uO men to gather near
the mine today , but no attempt was
made to start work.
Shenandoab , Pa. , Aug. 20. Much
importance is attached to the calls
General Gobin receives Irom coal
mine operators , who spend hours
with the general in going over the
strike situation.
After having met a number of op
erators , General Gobin said today
that he does not see any signs of a
settlement. In fact , he states that
all indications point more delinate-
ly to a prolongation of the strike
now than they did when he first
reached here. lie keeps in touch
with the strikers as well as the oper
ators and may be seen daily riding
over the hills with members of his
staff.
Along the road he frequently holds
conversations with miners , all of
whom display a friendly feeling to
ward him personally. There is no
111 feeling here against the soldiers ,
and the militia has become so popu
lar that a movement has been set
afoot to start a company in this
town.
Individual operators are beginning
to display willingness to end the
strike if a method could be shown
them how they could make concess
ions to the men without stupirying
themselves. In speaking with mem
bers of the staff at brigade headquar
ters some have within tlie past fe\\
days stated that if a way could be
suggested whereby they could give in
without placing themselves in a bad
light they would favor a settement
General Gobin is using his good
offices toward a settlement , and he
allows no opportunity to pass when
in conference with operators to make
a conservative plea for the men on
strike.
Pottsville , Pa. , Aug. 27. George.
Wheatley. an outside foreman at the
Brookside colliery of the Philadel
phia & Reading Coal and Iron Com
pany , is under 81,000 bail , charged
with shooting George Saerer , aued
nineteen yars of Tower City. Wlieat-
ey says he was followed through the
sreets by a crowd of strikers and
sympathizers , who jeered and hooted
him. Becoming enraged he drew a
revolver and tired into the crowd.
The bullet took effect in Searer's leg.
Wheatley has been a mine boss for a
number of years.
Tamaqua , Pa. , Aug. 27 Not since
the inauguration of the anthracite
coal miners' strike have the united
mine workers had so many pickets
patrolling the Panther creek valley
as today. Every road and path lead
ing to the colliers were engaged in
an effort to persuade non-union men
not to go to work. No new recruits
were added to the working force and
quite a number were turned back.
The extra vigilance was clue to the
rumor that it is the intention of
the Lehigh Coal and Navigation
company to cut coal as soon as suf
ficient men can be secured.
It is easier to get a man to tell you
how a thing should be done than it-
is to get a man to do it
ARBERDEEN , 5. D. BANK ROBBED

Major E. Verlander of Second bat
talion , West Virginia national guard ,
has received orders from Governor
White to proceed at once with the
three companies of state militia here
and one company at Milton to New

Parkersburg , W. Va. , Aug. 29.
Col. C. E. Morrison of this city , com
manding the second regiment , West
Virginia national guard , received or
ders this morning from' Governor
White , calling his regiment to the
New Biver coal fields. The officers
refuse to state what is their destina
tion , but it is supposed to be Red
Ash , where the deputies were fired
upon yesterday. The regiment is
composed of nearly 1 000 , men and
the companies are scattered at sever
al places in the state.
"Huntington has three , Parkersburg
two , Charleston , Miton and Blue-
field each one company. A special
train has been ordered out and the
companies are assembled at their ar
mories here awaiting further orders
to move.
Charleston , W. Va. , Aug. 29. Gov
ernor White ordered the Second reg
iment of troops to Thurmond , New
River strike district , today. The
troops are from Pancerbsurg , ; Hunt-
ington. Milton , Charleston and Ron-
everte. They will arrive here during
the afternoon , establishing head
quarters at Thurmond.
The situation is serious. ShreifT
Daniel , who is'here today froru'Fay-
ette , county , says he is powerless to
rrpress disorder and property and life
are in constant danger. Nearly every
body refuses to act as deputy sheriffs
to assist in the eviction of striking
miners.and hence the sheriff made a
request for trjops. Men , concealed
along the mountain side , fire at the
guards and miners g-'ing to work
and then disappear. Governor White
savs he sends the troops to protect
life and property , but not to settle
the strike.
VOWS DEATH OF A SHERIFF.
Butte , Mont. Aug. 29. With
Dtlicers of the state penitentiary on
his trail , assisted by bloodhounds ,
Convict Torn O'Brien , who last Fri
day made a daring escape from the
state prison , has sent a communi
cation to the Miner , pleading for a
public statement of his alleged crime
and vowing the death of Under
Sheriff Dave Morgan , whose alleged
perjured testimony , the convict de
clares sent him to prison and wrecked
his home. The document received
by the Miner bears the postmark of
Anaconda. The writer dates his
communication from a mountain in
the surrounding hills of Anaconda
.incl says that he wrote his story be
hind a rock , dividing his time be
tween his Winchester and his pen.
The communication is a literary
freak and there is no question as to
its authenticity , as the handwriting
has been fully identified by the
warden and others acquainted with
the crimual.
O'Brien declares his sole object in
escaping from the prison is to kill
Deputy Sheriff Morgan. O'Briec
was sent up for robbery in 1901.
FIRST CLASH AT TAHAQUA.
Tamaqua , Pa. , Aug. 29. The firs\
clash beween the striking miners and

.strikers , who hurled rocks at the sol
diers and called them hard names.

in the river here Sunday night , and
whose body , was found yesterday ,
