During the present season she is one of the reigning belles in Newport. Her days are filled in with dinners, balls, drives and the thousand and one dis sipations which make the society girl a slave. She returns to New Y'ork in September to take up her duties as school inspector. The dinners and balls will continue, with a change of scene, but tbe career of a society girl will be balanced by tbe arduous duties of in soector. Daily rounds of duty will be neces sary. Every nook and corner of the big school buildings must be inspected thoroughly, so that no bad sanitation may jeopardize the hundreds of young lives within the walls. Reports must be filed. Committee meetings and lec tures claim a share of attention, be sides the usual duties Incident to the [wsition. She receives no compensa tion for her services. Miss Clews hav ing refused to accept the salary which belongs to the position. Sit* In a University Chair. Miss Lucille Eaves was recently elected to a position on the faculty of the Leland Stanford, Jr., university. Miss Eaves looks little more than a girl, yet she is to succeed Mrs. Mary Sheldon Barnes, who is one of the best known women of the United States. Mrs. Barnes’ reputation is interna tional. her historical works having be come textbooks in schools and col leges. Miss Eaves’ chair is that of peda gogical history. In California every teacher in the public schools must take pedagogical training in her own special line, whether it be history, geography or languages. Without that training even graduates from Stanford univer sity and the University of California must take an examination In methods. Miss Eaves’ success is the greater from the fact that the system she teaches she lias herself evolved. She believes iu teaching history from the sociological standpoint, not only in col leges. but In high schools and through all the grades of tbe public schools. Under this system she takes up such branches as “The Nature and Forma tion of Social institutions,” “Charac teristics of Personal Leadership In So ciety,” “The Influence of Crowds on History.” Miss Eaves has advanced ideas on social and educational questions and expresses them with clearness and force. She developed these ideas while teaching in Peoria and later in Port land. Or., and for three years at the Indian school at the Nez Perces reser vation. in Idaho. A course at Stanford in history, so ciology and ethics gave her ideas form. In 1804 she graduated from Stanford and immediately commenced teaching In San Diego. For four years she has been giving a practical test of her theory. Her success is attested by her election to a professorship at Stanford. Miss Eaves has taken a special post graduate course iu history and eco nomics at the University of Chicago, re ceiving the degree of doctor of philoso phy. Miss Eaves Is an enthusiast upon ath letics for women. She played in the first basket ball game of the Stanford team and excels also In tennis and rowing. She also believes ha the ad vaneement oT women anil advocates woman suffrage. TliIk Girl Hiiiih a Sawmill. Miss Amelia Judson successfully con ducts an extensive lumbering business in Arizona. Some years ago her broth er, Andrew B. Judson, left St. Louis and went to northern Arizona (having Inherited a considerable fortune from an uncle at his birthplace, Gulton, Mo.), convinced that there was money In developing the sugar pine forests in Coconino county, between Williams, A. T., and the Grand canyon of the Colo rado river. Inside of a year he invest ed $38.0x material were in course of fulfill ment when the ambitious young lum berman died. Both mother and daugh ter realized that thousands of dollars of their money was tied up in the lum ber camp and that the only way to save It, avoiding the sacrifice of a forced sale, was to keep the plant In operation. And so It was that college bred Amelia Judson became a sawmiller In the heart of the Bill Williams moun tains of Arizona. She went to the office and took charge. The rough men who saw her MISS AMELIA JUDSON. wondered at her temerity and hardi hood. Then they admired her pluck and determined to help her in every I way possible. She went into the woods with the logging teams and learned every detail of the work of converting a standing tree into lumber or fruit boxes. She got out her brother’s con tracts iu time, took further orders and prospered at every turn. Clemiing IMnno Iveys. An effective way of cleansing and whitening the keys of a piano is by using clear alcohol, applied with a I piece o? soft cloth and rubbed dry with a fresh piece. When the polish has become dull, an application of piano polish, using a soft cloth and afterward rubbing brisk ly with chamois, will restore its bright ness. For dulled pedals a mixture of tine wood ashes, sifted through muslin, and a little kerosene is rubbed on the tedals and then polished with a woolen cloth. Ammonia and whiting arc also good, using flannel or chamois to rub on the mixture and a fresh piece for polishing. Lift the keys very gently when wip ing them and never allow pounding upon this beautiful and sensitive mu sical instrument. PERT PERSONALS. The new postmaster at Lafayette, Ind., is Willie Work.

Make a Statute Creating Crime of Leze Majesty, With Penalties—That Will Bring Them to Their Sense* and Land Them In Jail—Senator* Hoar and Chandler Prominent Kickers Julius Caesar Barrows Also a Traitor. [Special Washington Letter.] Prosperity with a big big I* is upon us. There can be no question about this. It is conclusively proved by the strikes in Cleveland, by the strikes in Brooklyn, by the strikes in Arkansas, by the strikes in Kansas and by the strikes in Missouri. If any evidence were lacking, it would be found in the following dispatch: Chicago, July 2d.—More than 50,000 men will be thrown out of employment Monday, and work will be stopped on every large building in the city where brick made in nonunion yards is used in its construction, if the business agents of the Building Trades’ Council carry out their inten tion. At the headquarters of the committee hav ing the strike in charge it was said the manufac turers had failed to send representatives to at tend the conference, and, as a result, the strike would be pushed vigorously forward from now on. Today being a half holiday, no attempt was made to stop work on any of the buildings; but, beginning with Monday, it is said, every work man will be withdrawn from the buildings where brick from nonunion yards is used. These are a few of the innumerable proofs which indicate that we are rid ing on tlie top of a great wave of prosperity, but the trouble about It Is that the more we have of it the worse we are off. I am neither the legal nor the spir itual adviser of the McKinley admin istration; but, nevertheless, as a sort of amicus curiae, I make bold to suggest that the administration can have no permanent peace of mind unless it rigs up a statute creating the crime of leze majesty and providing penalties there for. Press censorship in the Philip pines will not do. It does very well for the purpose intended so far as It goes, but it does not go far enough. It simply prevents Americans in the Philippine Islands from telling what they know, but if the administration does not want to go to the bowwows it is painfully evident that some scheme will have to be devised to pre vent Americans in America from talk ing and telling what they know, espe cially Republican Americans. They can't be reached by a press censorship in the Philippines, and if they are such idiots, copperheads or traitors as to keep on differing with the administra tion the statute for leze majesty is perhaps the only thing that will bring them to their senses. It would land a very distinguished company behind the bars, but as sure as water runs down hill the administration will lose prestige very rapidly if it does not stop their tongues from running. Repnblican Copperhead*. There is Senator George Frisbie Hoar of Massachusetts, sometimes j flippantly called "the cherubic” by the ungodly. My recollection is that he I once boasted that lie helped rock the cradle of the Republican party ami did j uot want to follow its hearse. It may have been Charles Sumner who said that; but, anyway, Hoar looks old j enough to have rocked its cradle, and j from the present outlook he will not j have to live much longer to have a chance to follow the hearse. He has j become such a cantankerous antiex j pansionlst that the Washington Post I intimates, by a cartoon at least, that the senator is likely to be a delegate to the next Democratic convention. Then there is the Hon. William E. j Chandler, senior senator from New j Hampshire, who, when not in training j for his pugilistic encounters with Dr. Gallinger, the junior senator from j New Hampshire, puts in most of his j time explaining to his Republican j .brethren that unless they declare bold ly and at once for the free coinage of j silver the party will go to the deuce. I If these two illustrious New England senators should both lie clapped in jail at once on a charge of leze majesty, it j would be absolutely necessary to fur nish them with separate compart- j ments, otherwise they would bite, gouge, kick and wool each otiier gen- j orally on the question as to whether Grant actually packed the supreme court to obtain the legal tender deci sion. Chandler affirms that he did. while Senator Hoar is perhaps the on ly living human being who does not agree with Chandler on that proposi tion, but because Senator Hoar bad a brother. Judge Rockwood Hoar, who was Grant’s attorney general, Chan dler’s charge makes him furious. So to prevent the diffusion of Mayflower blood I recommend the administration to put these illustrious prisoners in different cells, espec.ally as there j would be plenty of distinguished com pany for them when the prosecutions for leze majesty begin. For instance, there is the Hon. Will I Cumback of Indiana, ex-lleutennnt i governor of Hooslerdom and ex-sev- j oral other things. Not long since the Hon. Will took his pen in hand and in- I formed a startled world that unless j Mark and Mack changed their ways suddenly and radically Mack would j be shamefully overwhelmed and de feated in 1900. a tiling that can't be prevented, no matter what they do now. lint it is too bad that Governor CumbacK should be wagging his tongue In any such way, as he has gobbled a great deal of Republican pap in his time, but it may be that he is merely flshiug for another chance at the trough. It will be absolutely necessary either to give William an other teat to suck or to clap him into Jail for leze majesty, for if he goes on talking at the present rate he will make a good many people believe he Is telling the truth. Some More Kleker*. Then there is the soulful Thurston from Nebraska, statesman, orator, law yer and poet. He Iras recently warned the powers that be tlrat if they pass the financial bill which they have Ireeu incubating at Atlantic City the great middle west is surely lost to the Re publicans in 1900. Such treason as this deserves long senteuce under the law for leze majesty. Now, if the ad ministration does jug Senator Thurs ton 1 have one great boon to ask of It, not in my own interest, but for the sake of palpitating lovers everywhere —that is, that he be not iff Heed at bard jaoor, but in solitary eouttnement, whore he can court the rnuse unob structed. In that event he could com pose au entire volume on the same lines as he not lip iiis celebrated lines to the rose, a volume which would most assuredly fill a Ion- felt want. Now, Thurston is not to he sneezed at. He is too distinguished a citizen to be permitted to commit treason without punishment, ior in addition to being a senator of the L'nited States and, strange to say, not desiring re election. lie has been the president of two national Republican conventions and is a Republican bellwether gen erally. la addition to these illustrious sen ators and statesmen there is the Hon. Billy Mason of Chicago, who Id out his treason as fluently as Sir .lod:: Falstaff babbled of green fields. It is absolutely necessary if the adminis tration wants any peace of mind that a gag lie put in Senator Mason’s month or a padlock on his lips, for after the manner of Tennyson’s brook the flow of his copperhead and unpatriotic ut terances goes on forever. It is awful to think of his atnbre ial locks being sheared off preparatory to confinement in a vile dungeon, but I suppose that it will have to lie done, as he is too dangerous a citizen to let run at large. J. C. Borrow*’ Hi^h Treason. I see that another of my old con freres in the house, now a senator, has also been committing high treason and will have to Ik* dealt with, and that is Julius Caesar Burrows of Michigan. I think the weather has affected Ju lius Caesar’s head he is afflicted with a sort of midsummer madness. He is an out and out Republh :i. For the last 35 years he has drawn pay al most constantly as a Republican offi cial. Ordinarily he is the most cau tious of mortals—st»viter iu modo, fortiter in re, particularly suaviter. Generally he is tuneful as a lyre. His voice is as sweet as an aeollan liarp. He takes things by the smooth handle as a rule. He is as ambitious as the mighty man for whom ne is named. He has never lost hope of one day sit ting in the White House himself. He is as polite as Lord Chesterfield. In the matter of dress he is a sort of sen atorial Beau BruinmeL Nevertheless, when he fights, he fights. It is less than a year since he fought and con quered the Fingree combination in Michigan. Senator Burrows always keeps his telescope fixed on the po litical skies. It must have been an overpowering sense of duty which caused this man, who is cool as a cu cumber, to raise his voice against the Philippine policy of the administra tion. If he did not believe the ad ministration were on its last legs, he would be the last man in the country to open his head about it. but as much as I value the senator I submit to the administration that it owes it to itself to sock the gaffs into the distinguished Michigander. In a recent interview he used this astounding language: Washington, July 29.—“It is my judgment,” said Senator Burrows of Michigan this evening, “that if the war in the Philippines is still in progress next year and the end is not then in sight the situation will l>e to the disadvantage of the Republican party. The only hope for the party and the country. I might add, is in a speedy change of conditions in The Philippines. “Unless the war in the Philippines speedily ends,” he said, “it will become an important political factor, and its continuance will make the outlook for Republican success uncertain, to say the leart. “The conditions which I feared when 1 made my speeches in the senate last session, when the subject was under consideration, liave actually arisen. 1 was afraid then, amid all the enthusi astic shouting, that we would have some stern and unpleasant facts to face. If I could have had mv way, we would have simply taken a coaling station or a base of supplies in the is land of Luzon, we would not have paid a penny to Spain and we would have had our foothold in the east without me sacrifice of life or money. I believe in finding new markets for our people, who are the greatest producers the world ha9 known, and the orient doubtless offers us a great opportunity. “For the prese nt I hope the president will con tinue iu his effort to end the trouble and that his efforts will be crowned with success. Victory for the Republican party next year will be made more certain by the success of our arms in the Philippines.” “You would not now utuindon the Philip pines?” “I do not see how we can get away now,” said the senator. “We cannot surrender our ships to Aguinaldo and say to him that he can murder our soldiers. Now that we have commenced, the only thing we can do is to end the conflict as i soon as possible. After that is done the question of the disposition of the islands or their pernia- i nent retention rests with the people and with I congress.” I it patriotic Kttitor*. In addition to the illustrious states- j men aforementioned, there are certain I distinguished Republican editors to j whose unpatriotic, treasonable and eopperbendish utterances I wish to all j the attention of the administration: The Republican Minneapolis Tribune says: “We Irould like to impress upon the administration at i Washington tlie fact that it is losing ground by j its dilatory tactics.” The Republican New Bedford 'Mass.) Mercury says that Otis,is sending his war bulletins to the wrong place. “He should send them to tire Fili- pinos, that they may know they are conquered.” The Republic-ail Chicago Tribune says: “At this j rate the insurrection will drag along through the j •irr.mor and autumn of 1900.” The Republican Baltimore American says: “It j is futile to hope for Republican success nert year i If the voters of the country every morning are to j be confronted with stories of battles and loss of j life through disease and on the fring line.” The Republican Pittsburg Dispatch says that j “those wlio insist on the sending of anywhere from 25,000 to 125,000 more Americans to fight j Filipinos and to be attacked by the climate, to j spend from *100,000,000 to *200,000.000 per year in j the war oi subjugation and to lengthen the list j of lives already sacrificed for the cause of eon- quest will have to bear the responsibility for re- j cults.” The Republican Boston Advertiser says: “The j theory that the war is being waged in the Phil- j ippines merely to suppress disturbance and to re- j store and preserve order is no longer tenable.” The Republican San Francisco Chronicle says: j “The question now is, Do the American people j want to resolve their war for humanity into a bloody conquest of subjugation f” The Republican Newark Advertiser says: “The fatuous policy y re questing an audience with the secretary and re ceived an invitation to call today. Being asked for an explanation, the collector proceeded to define his position. He told Secre tary Gage that he did not think an examination at this time would necessarily demonstrate the fitness of the officials to perform their duties They had been employed in the customs service nearly 14 months and had thoroughly mastered the details of their work, and unless the secre tary advised a compliance with the order ha would direct the special deputy and cashier not to pay any heed to the commission. After listening to the collector the secretary unqualifiedly indorsed his course. It appears that Secretary Gage had not been consulted in the matter, and the information conveyed by Mr. Stone was news to him. The collector returned to Baltimore and instructed the-officials to inform the civil service commissioners that they would refuse to submit to an examination. A similar notice was sent Collector Tawes, at Oriafield, who w’as also affected by the order. Bad Penny Return*. It is an old saying that “a bad penny always returns," and the Hon. ,1. Ed ward Addicks, popularly known as “Gas Addicks,” has crawled out. of his hole in Delaware and once more im pinged upon human vision. It was fervently hoped by most people that we had seen and heard the last of Ad dicks, for next to Mark Hanna he is perhaps the corruptest politician on the face of the earth. According to the Washington Post, Addicks claim ed the senatorship from Delaware open and above board on the ground that he had purchased it. First and last, no donbt a good many other sen ators have held seats by right of pur chase, but they had too much respect for the opinions of mankind to say so. Mr. Gas Addicks had no such decency and bluntly stated what he had in mind. The following dispatch will show that he proposes to try his hand at buying a senatorship in the extreme west as well as the extreme east: Dover, Del., July 29.—The purchase of 1,200,000 acre* of farming land in Arizona was conau.to mated today by J. Edward Addicks of Delaware. Mr. Addicks bought the land from the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe railroad people. Addicks must think that Arizona is going to be admitted into the Union as a state, and he proposes to get in on the ground floor. It would be a great pity to have him go to Arizona and demoralize the Digger Indians by his crude ideas of morality. The govern ment ought to squelch him or he will bring it into disrepute. Patriotic people everywhere were much grieved recently by the news that the Hou. Carl Sehurz came near dying from ptomaine poisoning. Tak en all in all. Carl Sehurz deserves well of the American jieople. He is a good deal of a statesman, something of a philosopher and a great deal of an orator. He is perhaps the most dis tinguished of all German-American citizens. He has tilled many high po sitions and tilled them all with eclat. He was a major general in the army, minister to Madrid, a senator of the United States from Missouri and sec retary of the interior under Hayes. Missourians remember him most kind ly because lie was one of the patriotic men who helped break the yoke one Charles D. Drake fastened on the neck of tlie people. Of late years he has been editor of Harper’s Weekly and has devoted all his time to literature. He sjs-aks the best book English of any man in America, and it is hoped that he has many years of lif& and use fulness before him. Will Mate Yon Sleep. A Swiss physician. Dr. Otto Xaegeli, declares that the best way to over i-oinc insomnia is to imitate the breath ing of a man who is asleep and to make the head undergo the various movements to oue side and the other which one unconsciously makes while falling asleep in a sitting posture.— Philadelphia Record.

Queen Vii tor in has seen every throne iu the world vacated at least once and some of them several times. King Christian of Deumark considers that lie has not spent the day properly if he has not had a game of whist during the evening.
