I can understand S: “I am a woman; therefore, women."* ‘This expression was made by Sarah Bernhanit, the world-famous actress, after creating a part in which the complex nature of woman was spe- cially portrayed. Mme. Bernhardt pictured the character true to life and_her remark was in answer to a complimentary expression after her prencunced success. The expression was true. Women do understand other women and their pleasures and troubles. They know what they need. Mrs. Annte Jenness Miller began this study early in life and has con- tinted it ever since. She investigated the sub- Ject of appearance and the result was her book, “Physical Beauty and How to Obtain It.’ - She studied the subject of dressing and has done much to ald women in this imporant and delightful art. She studied the subject of Women’s Physical Health and as a result discovered what she be- Heves to be the proper means of constantly pre- serving It. In writing upon this subject she sal “It gives me pleasure to express my faith in the virtues of a well-known discovery which is the only medicine I ever take or recommend.

Speaking today io a Star reporter of the operations of his office, Mr. Haskell, the District sealer of weights and measures, said: ‘he importance of the office is illusirat- ed by the fact that within the past chirty days over 200 dry measures and liquid measures -have been confiscated and de- stroyed because they were below the stand- ard.

Those who called upon Mr. Babcock were Mr. P. J. Ryan, attorney for the employes; Mr. A. B. Browne, attorney for the Belt Line bondholders; Mr. Crosby of the Eck- ington line and Mr. Johnston. Mr. Browne read the agreement to Chair- man Babcock, and Mr. Ryan concurred in it, The agreement follows: The Agreement. “First. That the employes of said re- ceiver or the said Belt Railway Company shall cease all opposition to the passage of the legislation aforesaid, and will as far as possible aid and secure the passage of the same, and “Second. Upon the passage sf the said act of Congress and said amendment, and vpon the approval of said act as so amend- ed by the President of the United States, then the said American Security and Trust Company, as such trustee, will instantly consent to the issue of receiver's certifi- cates in said cause by proper order of the court (having precedence over the bonds or said railway company) having jurisdic- tion thereof covering the sums now sev- erally due the said employes of the said receiver and the said railway company to an amount not exceeding in the aggregate the sum of $4,800, and said American Se- curity and Trust Company will, upon the issue of such receiver's certificates immedi- ately cash the same to the holders thereot. -"But in the event that for any cause the issue of such receiv2r's certificates cannot then be so obtained, the said American Se- curity and Trust Company further agrees to ask the proper court to order that from the proceeds of the sal> of said property and franchises, payment be made to each of said employes, or their assigns, of the amount certified by the said receiver to b> now so due each of said employes for ser- vices rendered to said receiver, and for posits mad2, but not exczeding in the ag- gregate the said sum of $4,800, out of the moneys received by said trust company, 4s such trustee, from the proceeds of stch sale, and to thereupon pay the same, with- in five days from th2 ratification of said sale.

And any corporation so created and organized under the pro- visions of this section is hereby authorized to issue its bonds and capital stock, elther for cash, or in exchange for the stock, bonds, property or franchises of said Belt Railway Company; provided, however, that the total issue of said bonds and stock shall not in the aggregate exceed the amount necessary for effecting any such purchase, and for the construction, recon- struction and equipment of said Belt rail- way.

A KLONDIKE _ EDITION Of the San Francisco EXAMINER ILLUSTRATED Will be issued on Monday, Feb. 2ist Tt Will Contain ALL ABOUT KLONDIKE : Mr. Daish also called upon Chairman Babcock to protest against the bill in its present form. He said it reheves the pro- posed new railway corporation of all per- sonal responsibility. One of the corpora- tions to be merged by this bill owes him $30,000, and he desired his legal rights pro- tected. Mr. Babcock replied that the committee. could not become a collection agency for the general creditors of the old corporation. Business men were supposed to be able to take care of themselves. It was different in the case of the employes of the road. They were laboring men, working for their daily wages and not able to watch their interests in legal affairs, so the committee had taken {t upon themselves to look out for them. However, if Mr. Daish claimed that the bill in its new shape relieved the railroad of personal lability, the committee would listen to representations upon that score. Mr. Daish’s attorney will submit a brief setting forth arguments in suport of the allegation presented this morning. Chairman Babcock will call a meeting of the District committee at the earliest prac- ticable date and lay the whole case before them. . —————-o+_____. Favors the Open Car.

The organ recital at the First Baptist Church, 16th etreet near Scott Circle, last ight, under the auspices of the Literary Society of the church, was an unqualified success. The church was packed to the dcors, and each number on the program was received with rounds af applause which called for an encore. The first number on the program was Lemmen’s ‘‘Fanfare,” by Mr. Harvey Murray, organist of the Church of the Coverant, and which was rendered on the large organ in a masterly manner. Mr. A. G. Nickolds, director of the chotr of St. Stephen's P. E. Church, sang F. Clay’s well-known “Sands o’ Dee” in a style that was most pleasing. Next on the program was Mrs. Thos. C. Noyes, soprano soloist of the First Baptist Church, who sang an aria in her clear, rich soprano voice, which brought forth deafening ap- plause, and as an encore she sang Parker's “A Gipsy Maiden, 1.” The balance of the program was as fol- lows: “Open the Gates” (Mrs. Knapp), by request, Mrs. Noyes; ‘“L’Adoration des Bergers” (Wackenthaler), Mr. Murray; a, “An Idle Poet;” b, “To a Flower” (Cowen), Nickolds; Finale from Sonata, in D minor (Guilmant), Mr, Murray. Much of the credit for the success of the encertainment is accorded to Mr. Percy 8.

Investigation of Murder Committed by Persons Unknown. Coroner Carr held an inquest at the third precinct police station this afternoon in the case of the colored male infant found a week ago at the basement door of the house of Mrs. Talty, No. 1911 F street northwest, as published in The Star at the time. Detectives Weedon and Lacy and Precinct Detective McGlue, who have been investigating the case, were present at the inquest. The baby, as published at the time of the autopsy, had been strangled, and was left at the door of Mrs. Talty’s house in a neatly wrapped bundle. A colored wo- man was seen to leave the bundle at the door and afterward go away with a colored man, The autopsy showed that the child was wrapped in the towels and paper before life was extinct Although the detectives have worked hard on the case, the woman has not been apprehended. It is thought the jury will all probability would be made to secure united action on the part of men engaged in various lines of bysiness. For example, he said, it was prcposed to ask the market men who now have telephones to combine in the movernent to do without the instru- ments unless a reduction is made in the present rates. It is believed by Mr. De Witt that by combining forces it will be pessible to induce the company to tonsider the matter. At least, the telephone com- peny will be given’ an opportunity, he thinks, to either modify the present tariff or to face the possibility of a great falling off in the business. It is thougi-t by some business men that the company should popularize the use of the telephone instead of apparently en- deavoring to limit its use. Under the pres- ent rates, it is claimed, practically only the wealthy can afford to have a telephone. It is said a great many would like to have a ‘phone at their horres, but the tariff of $100 a year or more is greater than a ma- icrity of people feel they are able te pay for such a convenience. It is said if the rates were more reasonable that thousands of telephones would be in use where there is now only ‘one. Cases are cited where in sections of the country there are rea- sonable telephone rates these instru- ments are found in many houses, indicating that the charges are such as to bring this convenience within the reach of people of mcderate means.
