A Woman's College in the Bible.
''There ought to be about fifty women
police on the New York City force,"
said Mrs. Elizabeth Cady Stanton, in
conversation, the other day. "They
ought to be of discreet age, and a princi
pal part of their duties should be the
looking out for young girls coming to
the city as strangers. And some of
them ought to patrol the streets at night,
to look after women going home from
work or the theatres."
Mrs. Stanton, now rounding out a
long life of leadership, is one of the most
picturesque figures in America. Her
ideas are incisive and cleat-cut.
"Besides women police there ought to
be women street cleaners, too. See
what an army of white uniformed men
we have in this city! And bow pictur
esque it would be to have some of the
force women!"
Then came an addition that showed
that Mrs. Stanton, although well past
the eighty years' mark, and a radical
leader for women's reforms, is as delght
fully feminine as ever.
"They could dress in bloomers, and
they could wear red feathers in their
caps, and they could Lave red handles
on their brooms!" she cried.
Mrs. Stanton does not like the idea
that woman brought sin into the world.
''Why, the Bible itself says that the ser
pent was always there!' she exclaimed.
"But did you notice what a high idea
the serpent had of woman's intellect?"
she added with a twinkle in her eyes.
"He did not try to tempt her with
jewels or dreeses or pleasures, but by
arousing in her mind a strong thirst 'for
knowledge. After that, the simple
pleasure of talking with Adam was not
enough."
Mrs. Stanton tells of asking a wealthy
woman to give a part of her wealth to
endow a woman's college, and of the wo
man's prim refusal on the ground that
nowhere does the Bible recognize a wo
man's college.
"And so 1 reminded her," says Mrs.
Stanton, "of the Prophetess ITuldah,
who, when the King wanted her, was
found in the college."
Then, in reply to a further question
"No' with a regretful ghost of a smile
she gave $30,000 to a man's college in
stead, after all."
Mrs. Stanton says that when she wis a
girl her father told her pnd her sisters
that whenever they went anywhere, un
der the escort of young men, they must
pay their own share of whatever expense
was incurred. This, he told them, was
for two reasons. One was that the most
desirable young men were sometimes
deterred from offering their escort be
cause they felt they could not afford a
double expense. The other was that
young women would be in a far more in
dependent position if they did not have
to feel that their escorts had just been
allowed to spend money upon them.
Mrs Stanton lives in a pleasant home,
surrounded by pictures and books, and
loves to sit silent, thinking of the past,
through the long twilight of the summer
evenings. The Post.

SNAKE STARTS PANIC.
Rattler Drlren People Oat of sn Expreae
Office In New Jersey.
A rattlesnake got loose in the Unit
ed States Express office at Orange, N.
J., the other day and created all sorts
of excitement for a few minutes. The
snake was one of 50 which had been
received in crates a few hours pre
vious to be shown as an attraction at
the Elks' carnival the other day.
Richard Holmes, who was to exhibit
the snakes at the carnival, opened one
of the boxes to see that his pets were
well and comfortable after their trip,
and while he was handling them one
of the rattlers wriggled over the side
of the box, and before its escape was
noticed disappeared under a pile of
boxes in the rear of the office. A mes
senger boy employed by the telegraph
company, which uses part of the office,
saw his snakeshlp escape, and shouted
that a snake was loose. Telegraph op
erators and clerks made a rush for the
door. Holmes gingerly overturned the
boxes and barrels and Anally located
the rattler piled In a corner. He di
verted the snake's attention for a mo
ment while he grabbed It by the neek
and replaced It In the box with Its
companions.
Garter Vacancy.
According to the London Chronicle
there is now a garter vacant, and if a
plebiscite decided on whom It should
be bestowed there is not a doubt but
that K. G. would be placed after the
name of the field marshal commanding
in south Africa, who most certainly
merits the distinction quite as much
as Lord Elgin, on whom It was so
properly conferred by Lord Salisbury.
In the last two centuries the garter
has been only thrice given for military
services to Marlborough, Wellington
and Lord Anglesey and, strange to
say, no naval commander appears to
have had it; not even Nelson.
