Those of the Hudson River valley showed weil, and proved that by spraying and careful culture as good fruit can be prcduced there as grew in New York in the days when it was the banner state for apple production. Northwestern Greening, a hardy, late-keeping Wisconsin seedling, proved to be a good apple at Geneva, N.

The same was true of York Imperial in that state, as compared with those from Vir- ginia and North Carolina.

Policeman Sautmyer of the fifth precinct lately found a human hand on 1th street southeast betweea M and N streets. The band appeared to have been that of a ci ored female. It is the belief of the volice that the hand had dropped from an ash cart and had probably come from the house of some medical student. The officer took tne hand to the police station and later it was buried in potter's field. > ‘Touring in a Trolley Car. Denver News. From the A novel arrangement has been in opera- ticn in Denver for some time past which ight we alopted in other large cities have a complicated network of street railway tracks running to every section of the city. The institution referred to is nothing more than a perscnally conducted tour of the town in a trolley car. A tour- ist company leases a number of open cars frem oF of the companies and by mak- ing arrangement with the other lines for the use of their tracks a complete circuit of Denver can be made. = ‘The car makes one trip in the morning and another in the evening, going the rounds of the hotels, where it picks up the passengers. The trip covers forty miles and is made in about two hours and a half. A prettily printed souvenir is given to each passenger, which illustrates and describes the several points of interest, and a guide accompanies each car and ex- plains ard points out these as they are reached. In this way for the nominal sum of twenty-five cents, which is the fare charged, a visitor can see Denver without making anything and without fatigu The car itself is called “Seeing Denver’ epd has proved very popular. that has been very favorably received in Europe, and should be largely pianted in New York, as well as farther south: Grimes Golden, in growth and keeping qualities, was much like the Jonathan, and as handsome a yellow apple as that is a red one, but richer and more highly flavored. Winesap is out of its latitude in New York, but does well farther south. The most attractive and best-developed apples cn exhibition were from Waynes- ville, N. C., and were grown from 2,509 to 4,000 feet above the sea level. The New- town Pippins grown there were every way superior to those grown where the vartety originated, at Newtown, Long Island. These and some varieties from the hill regions of Virginia put to shame the very best that ceme from the Hudson River val- ley. ‘The Ben Davis from Kansas showed very favorably, as did those from Virginia, and the Missouri Pippin from Kansas was very fine, but many varieties from that state were below their usual standard in color and size by reason ef drought. The Wolf River apple in Schoharie, N. Y., is a large, showy fall apple there, but in Wisconsin, where it originated, it is a winter variety and a very hardy tree. ——— Assistant Paym: The President has appointed W. B.

SoHo SoS: Proposition to Disoontinne the Sorpe in the Navy. The Secretary's Mentorandum—Signs of Vigorous Opposition te Pro- ‘posed Legisiation. - If the récommendation of Secrétary Long is followed by Congress, the corps of naval professors of mathematics will in the near future be discontinued as a part of the naval establishment. He has recommended that the statute authorizing the appoint- ment of professors of mathematics be so amended that withcut disturbing those who now hold the office, no further ap- pcintments shall be made. In explanation of his plan for the practical abolition of the corps, Secretary Long prepared the fol- lowing memcrandim: The Secretary's Memorandam. “The reason for the creation of the office has passed away. These professors were, at first, teachers of midshipmen on board ship, and were thus exposed to the dan- gers of service in var and at sea. They were therefore properly pensioned by a piace upon the retired list. Today their name is largely a misnomer. Under the lew, one is assignable to the teaching of ethics and English studies, one of Spanish and one of drawirg. In fact, only one teaches mathematics at the Naval Acad- emy; several of them are on duty at the naval observatory; two are librarians: one is engaged in ordnance work, and another in the bureau of yards ard docks. They have no service at sea, and there is no more reason why hereafter the retired list should be open to a new appointee to the work now dcne by this corps than to any other employe in civil life. “If this recommendation is adopted hy Congress it will be necessary to provide for the appointment of astronomers at the naval obscrvatory, to take the places as they shall become vacant of existing pro- fcssors of mathematics who now serve in that capacity. There should be five astron- omers, as at present, and the salary of these hereafter appointed should be sufli- cient to make up for the refusal to them of the privilege of retirement, and aiso to secure men of high scientific attainments, adequate to the demands of one of the most capable observatories of the world. As the above astronomical corps is now full, no appointment under the new statute proposed will be necessary till a vacancy occurs.” Grounds of Opposition. As was to have been expected, the Sec- retary’s plan does not meet with the uni- versal approval of the naval or congres- sional circles, and there are signs of a vig- orous opposition to the proposed legisla- tion. The following communication indi- cates some of the grounds against the pro- posed plan of reoragnizing the scientific force at the Naval Observatory: To the Editor of The Evening Star: The writer's attention was called a few days ago to a statement in one of the daily papers to the effect that Secretary Long in his naval estimates recommends the abo- liticn of the corps of professors of mathe- métics in the navy. This is as it should be, as far as the name of the corps and the practice of filling vacancies in the same are concerned. But why should the corps itself be abolished, simply because it has been a practice in late years to make it convenient retiring quarters for line offi- cers, tired of sea duties, or because former appointing powers saw fit to give com- mission in the corps to teachers of lan- guages and some librarians, who evidently were not professors of matematics. Should an institution, such as this, be declared useless and superfluous, just because such practices have made the name of the corps a misnomer? Why not change the name to plain “professors,” make it a corps of scientists, in which able civilians could be commissioned in different scientific capacities, and do away with the per- nicious practice of retiring young line offi- cers into the same, thus creating sine- cures. Secretary Long proposes that as vacan- cies occur in the Naval Observatory they should be filled by civilians who, as a com- pensation for lost privilege of retirement, should receive adequate increase of pay. Does Secretary Long really think that this would be an inducement for able scien- tists to apply for positions in the naval service? Would this be a compensation also for the risk, however small, which the frequent menaces to the tenure of the civil positions might carry with them? He may answer that scientists would have no cause for apprehension, and he might ask, how is it that so many eminent scientists oc- cupy positions in other departments where there is no privilege of retirement? I think that can be answered very satisfactorily. In other departments, whether they oc- cupy positions as chief of bureaus or divisions, or more inferior positions, they work together harmoniously and give and receive credit, where credit is due. Is this the case in the navy, and would that be the case in the observatory, under the new regime? 1 think not. Then, as is the case | now, a line officer would be in charge, but now the professors undoubtedly get credit for what they accomplish, which certainly would not be the cuse were they astrono- mer civilians. Anybody at all familiar with Navy Department practice, will at once recognize this fact. And that such a state of conditions would not tend to en- sourage the astronomers to original re- earch, I think will be evident to every- ody. “Tt almost looks as if the proposition in- lirectly emanated from some ilne officer, and that it is the old story, “line against the staff,” which takes expression here 48 well as in the well-understood desire among the line to get rid of the civil enginee:s; in fact, everybody who cannot claim the Naval Academy as alma mater. Aside from the injury, which legislation in this direction would work to the best interests of the service, it is eusy to see what effect {t would have in another re- spect. Would not the well-known un-Amer- ican tendency toward an aristocracy, which already exists in the service, become much stronger? It {s, therefore, to be hoped that if Congress acts in the matter it would not abolish the corps, but change the name and thus make it include also scientists in other branches of the service, as well as offer inducements for outside savants to énter the service.

Experience of Utah. State Senator Cannon of Utah said that the story of the struggle for woman's suffrage in Utah was the story of all ef- forts for the advancement and _ better- ment of humanity, and which has been told over and over ever since the advent of civilization. “The results which. have been attained,” she said, “speak with such unerring logic and vindicate so completely the argument that women should take part in the af- fairs of government, which so vitally affect her, that I point to the actual conditions now existing in Utah as a complete vin- dication of the efforts of equal suffragists, and as the most cogent of all reasons which can be advanced why women should have the right to aid in nominating and electing our public officers."”” Suffrage in Idaho, Mr. Balderslon’s paper, after giving the history of suffrage in Idaho, concluded with the declaration that the limited ex- perience of Idaho has pleased the people with the new order of things and that there is perfect confidence that the result will justify the extension of suffrage. _ Alice Stone Blackwell's remarks on the indifference of women were received with considerable enthusiasm. IN THE MARBLE ROOM. Hearing Given by the Senate Com- mittee on Woman Suffrage. The marble room of the Senate was crowded this morning by those who came to attend the hearing given by the Senate committee on woman suffrage. Senators Berry and Wetmore of the committee were present, other senators present being Messrs. Cannon, Teller and McLaurin. The two hearings at the Capitol were ar- ranged so that on the House side members of the visiting delegations confined their re- marks to a statement of facts regarding the mov2ment for the enfranchisement of women, while on the Senate side their re- marks related to the philosophy of wo- man's rights. Rev..Anna Howard Shaw was in charge of the program in the marble room, and about a dozen addresses, each short and pointed,’were delivered. Wiliam Lioyd Garrison cf Massachusetts Was the first speaker, his remarks being on the nature of a republican form of govern- ment. He said that the advocates of com- plete enfrenchisement of women based their demands upon ‘the principles underly- ing all suffrage rather than upon the que tion of sex. He said that woman suf- fragists believed that a professed self-gov- ernment which deliberately ignores its own axioms is tending to decadence. “The objection mest universally urged against woman suffrage,” said Mr. Garri- son, “is that concerning physical strength. It is said that all government is founded on force, and as women are unfitted to act as soldiers or policemen, tpon whom the ulti- mate appeal for social order rests, there- fore those who ca fight ought not to vote. The answer’r@tarned is that if good strength is the proper test, all men unable to. bear arms shouldbe disfranchised! It is asked why-women should be subjected to one test and men another. Want of physi- cal strength is simply a pretext, while the real objection is sex.” Mr. Garrison said that while women do not bear arms, they bear the men who bear the arms. May Wright Sewall of Indiana spoke of the fitness -of women to become citizens from the standpoint of education and men- tal endowment. She referred to the latest report issued by the bureau of education to show that, while the entire number of students of schools and colleges during the year '95-'96 was 16,415,137, and while slight- ly more than half the number enrolled are of the male gex, the number of girls con- tinuing in school long enough to complete the course of study in the secondary schools largeiy exceeds the number of boys. She did not see why the government should expend millions annually to educate girls, whiie as women they are disfranchised. She referred to the fact that there are 162 colleges in the eountry devoted exclu- sively to the education of women. Rev. Anna Garlin Spencer spoke of the fitness of women to become citizens from the standpoint of moral development. She spoke of the great necessity for a recog- nition of a moral element in the govern- ment of the people, and said it is increas- irgly apparent that for these wider and more delicate functions a higher orders of electorate, ethically as well as intel- lectually advanced, is necessary. “Now, we declare,” said Mrs. Spencer, “the earth is ready for the gentle, the helpful and the humane forces, both of manhood and womanhood, to work their will in the party politics as in the home, the. church and the: school. The earth is ready, the time is ripe for the authorita- tive expression of the feminine as well as the masculine interpretation of that common social consciousness which is slowing ripening justice in the state and fraternity of the social order.” The Cause.in England. Mrs. Harriet Stanton Blatch of England, a daughter of Mrs. Elizabeth Cady Stan- ton, spoke of the progress of woman. suf- frage in England, and especially of woman as an economic factor. She said that it had been urged that women need training in citizenship before they are finally received into the body poli- tic, but she remarked that neither the negro in the south nor the agricultural la- borergin Great Britain had showed before they ot the ballot any capacity for gov- ernment, for they had never had the op- portunity to take the first step in politi- cal action. She said that if the women recognized the democratic side of their cause and make an organized appeal to industrial women on thé ground of their need of citizenship and to the nation on the ground of its rived; that all wealth “pro- ducers should form part of its body poli- ties, the close of theteentury might wit ness the building upr or a true republic in the United States S219 The fitness of whyities fromthe standpdift ’6f physical develop- ment was the sufjett’ of Laura Clay of Kentucky. She stii@ if was by no means self-evident that women are naturally un- fitted for fighting Gr ch unwarlike in dis- to become citizens position; that the traijitions of the Ama- zons and the co! of savage women give room to believe fhat the instinct for war was primitively Very mugh the same in_ both sexes. Miss Florence Kette¥, a daughter of the late Representattve! Kelley of Pennsyl- vania, spoke of the-need of the ballot for Women as industrighifactors, and Mariana W. Chapman of jJew, York spoke of the need of the ballot. for women as capitalists and taxpayers. Sié’spoke of states where women who are led have not the right to their own earnings,’ and of mafiy in- justices they suffer from a lack of equality with men. s - Elizabeth Burrill Curtis of New York spoke of women ira representative gov- ernment to show that only good can result from their participation in public affairs. Henry B. Blackford of Massachusetts considered women in relation to home and argued to show that woman suffrage does not jeopardize the home and interests of husband and children, He referred to the fact that while di- home last Thursday, and has resumed his | Ja: labors on his paper, the Christian Advo- cate. .

Two Noted Leaders. Mrs. Isavella Beecher Hooker of Connec- ticut spoke of the indifference and oppo- sition of women to woman suffrage. Elizabeth Cady Stanton devoted her re- marks to the nature of the ballot, its sig- nificance and history, showing through what stages it has evolved and pointing out the reason women have been excluded from its use. Mrs. Anna Howard Shaw closed the hear- ing by showing that there is no reason for opposition to woman suffrage, that all fa- vor it, and the only hesitancy toward its adoption is a natural opposition to any new idea. She appealed to members of the Senate to act upon reason and justice, and not on fear and caution. She said that no one need think that the agitation for wo- man suffrage would cease when those wo- men who have inaugurated the movement had passed away, but that it would be car- ried on until an amendment to the Const! tution is adopted giving women equal rights with men. She gave the senators to understand that if they wanted to dispose of the question of woman suffrage they should accede to the demands of women, and the sooner they did so the sooner they would be free from appeals on this subject. Mrs, Shaw's remarks concluded the hear- ing, after which most of the ladies left tne Capitol, while a few of them went to the galleries to witness the proceedings of the Senate for a short time, AFFAIRS IN ALEXANDRIA .
