A Matter af Kdacntlon.
Miss Chrystal Macmlllan, the brilliant
woman who so- ably headed the Scottish

liament elected from their colleges, has
Issued an encouraging letter to these grad
uates. It was she who pleaded their case
and she urges them not to be discouraged,
assuring them that although the House of
Lords decided against them the cane has
had a wonderful educational effect and has
awakened Interest in circles that they have
never before been able to reach. Miss
Macmlllan Is confidant that their success Is
merely a matter of education and that such
opportunities for a dignified presentation
of their claim, are not to be counted fail
ures, even though they are unsuccessful
In their results.
Fortieth Anniversary.
The Brooklyn Woman's club celebrsted
Its fortieth anniversary January 1 and the
celebration has occasioned wide comment,
not for any unique feature, but because
it marks another anniversary of this or
ganisation of women who have so long
stood for all that is best In culture In
altruism and in progress. Only two of its
founders are still living, but If these two
women had also passed before the close
of the year 1 the anniversary of the club
would still have attracted attention, for
Us organisers laid a foundation for a club
that will continue to live and work.
SO SAYS STREET EAILWAY MAN
Arthnr Wortenbyke, at Karharh
Block, Rnna Tils Flevatnr Bark
and Forth Thronghont
the Fire.
"No, Blake will not be discharged be
cause he broke a rule to save a boy's life,"
said Douls Ntsh, superintendent of trans
portation of the street railway company.
"I am not satisfied thet he did break a rule
as far as that goes, but I suppose the narra
tlve reads better thus. At any rate motor-
men may be considered privileged to run
ahead of their Schedule whenever a human
life is at stake."
Blake, who took the first car across the
Douglas street bridge and for thirty years
has never violated a company's rule even
In thought, ran away ahead of time Thurs
day in order that he might gain enough
on his schedule to buy an outfit of clothes
at his own expense for the boy of eight
years, whom he picked up at the end of
the Benson line, at the point of freeslng to
death.
Passongcra on the line did their best
Friday to make Blake violate another rule
about entering into conversation with
motormen, for all wished to shake his
hand and congratulate him. Partly because
of the rule and partly because Blake Is
modest and did not wish to talk of his
feat, these passengers found him a tough
proposition conversationally.
Another Hero Bnba I p.
Arthur Wortenbyke was another hero of
Thursday. He la the elevator operator In
the Karbach building where the film com
pany fire occurred. He ran his car up
and down throughout the blase and carried
all the men and women of the fourth
and fifth floors to the ground without
disturbance to his customary nonchal
ant air. His task was not an easy
one, for the hallways and shaft were so
filled with smoke that he could not see for
a time and the excited condition of some
of the male passengers did not render his
task the easier.
"The dressmaking girls were the calmest
people around," said Wortenbyke, "and If
you are getting up any fool hero article put
them In, too. They were a whole lot more
self-possessed than the men, or some of the
men, anyhow. Of course they did not nave
their eyebrows- singed off, as did a couple
of the fellows in the film company office,
which I suppose would make anyone more
or less excited.
"And. say. If you put In anything about
me I'll lay for you."
Society Gowns Bnrned.
There Is woe and lamentation and bitter
gnashing of teeth In West Famam precincts
over the fire because some of the loveliest
hand-built costumes and gowns there ever
were perished In the flames. The consid
erable number of society women who had
taken up the fad of making their own
clothes at the Moulton dressmaking school
are weeping softly and saying: "What's the
use? I did not mind those three linen suits,
my dear, but that old Irish lace can never
be replaced, and I don't suppose I can get
a cent's worth of Insurance anyhow."
Such a theme with the appropriate varia
tions hus been sung in a minor key In a
large number of boudoirs since the fire.

Judge Lee F.s telle who is presiding over

in an address on the training) of children.
The Flattsmouth Journal gives this report
of the meeting:
One of the best things that It has been

mouth to enjoy in many months was given
In the Presbyterian church last night by
Judge Lee 8. Kstelle of the Juvenile court,
of Omaha. Judge Eetelle gave a graphic
account of the work carried on In his court
and discussed the sources of crime among
children showing the responsibility of the
state to protect the individual from society.
as well as to protect socloty irom tne indi
vidual. He showed how this Idea had devel
oped and the great benefit acculng to the
stale from this changed conception of
responsibility. He emphasised the necessity
of giving the child a chance, that l's
divinely bestowed powers might have full
development. He criticized the efforts of
the schools to crowd into a child's mind
too much mathematics when what he de
manded was more culture of the sense of
th beautiful. He told of numerous Inci
dents of his own experience where children
had been rescued from lives ol crime ana
immortality by simply employing the art
of trusting them and giving them to under
stand that they were expected not to tnrow
the Judge down. At times there were many
eyes in the audience that were wot with
tears ss they listened to the recitals of the
pathetlo scenes. The Judge brought his
little five year old son with him and the
little fellow's tears at being parted from
his father while he was speaking
came Just toward the . close of the
address, and the fatherly attention
given to him Instead of being a detraction

was rather an unusual emphasis on the
message of the speaker. The strongest
feature of the address came Just at the
close In the way of an appeal to mothers
to Inform their girls of the possible tragedy
of a woman's life. There was scarcely a dry
eye in the house as he closed with that
tender appeal and the words of that beau
tiful poem, "Mother Mine."

Go Into any store or shop or office In the
city and express an opinion about the state
of the temperature. Say It is warm, say It
is cold, or say It Is Just, right, and ten to
one the answer will be In accord. The ab
solute temperature has seemingly little to
do with many Individuals' views about the
weather, and those who do not not wish to
get into an argument far more heated than
the actual temperature Just now have dis
covered that the easiest way out Is to agree
with whatever view is expressed.
How fallible the ordinary Judgment Is
about temperatures has often been shown
by the experiment with the three basins
of water, one hot, one tepid and one cold.
By varying the order In which the hands
are plunged In, the tepid basin can be made
to feel decidedly warm or extremely cool.
Thursday night about 8:30 two men
emerged from the Bee building on Famam

"My, It Is moderating rapidly," ejaculated
one.
" 'Tie, sure, any amount warmer than It
was this afternoon," was the ready re
sponse. As a matter of fact the weather had not
moderated one particle since the afternoon.
At I p. m. the thermometer registered 6

ernor. He must support and properly care

Chattan station, was disturbed one night
by the barking of his dog. He arose from
bed and went to the front door with a re
volver In his hand and saw Von Haller
passing. Von Haller Immediately opened
fire on Rees, shooting him through the
head, then beating him over the face with
the weapon. It Is alleged that Von Haller
made an attempt to kill Rees' wife. He
