The reduced postal rates between this country and England went in to effect October tirst. Many hon8e8 in New York have been hold ing back mail to get the benefit of the new rate and some of this tidal wave of mail came just after mid night to catch the two boats that left the first. The new letter rate between the two countries has been cut down to less than half what it was. Letters may now be sent to England for two cents, provided that they do not weigh more than one ounce. Formerly it cost five cents ounce for this postage. In England the same sort of change will be made, a letter coming to this country for a penny, the equivalent of the United States t wo cents. The postoffice authorities are looking forward to some misunder standings of the new rule. The re duction id rates has been made only on letters. The fedral author ities fear that some will assume the rate has been cut on post cards, newspapers, parcels and the like and will send in a lot of stuff that will have to be held for lack of pos tage. an One-half gallon of good milk, daily $4.00 per month from Bartow. 50 Salvation Army Arrests Go to Jail as Martyrs for Riant to Hold Meotlntfs. Los Angeles, Oct. é.-Deterniined to carry out their avowed intention to defeat the ordinance of the eity which prescribes certain districts in which open air meetings may be held and forbids them in all other places, all the members of the Sal vation Army of this city, to the number of over 30, permitted them selves to be arrested and hauled to the central police station in vans, singing and praying as they were hurried down the down-town streets. A great crowd gathered at the corner of Hill and Fifth streets near the entrance to the Sixth street park, where the Salvationists elected to hold their meeting tonight, doubt less owing to the number of idle men who nightly gathered in the park. As the police began to make their appearance shortly after beginning tue street meeting of the Salvation sts, the crowd hooted and jeered at them and in some instances there were attempts on the part of the by standers to interfere with the arrest of the women Salvationists. At the police station $25 -was de manded in each instance as bail and some of the members promptly de posited the sum. However, over half of the number—12 women among them- determined to become martyrs to the cause and will spend the night in jail. The best aecom modatiot)8 possible have been pro vided for them but in the case ol the men these are no better than the cells in which common crituin als are placed. Altogether over 50 arrests of Salvationists have been made during the past week, all of them being charged with violating the public meeting ordinance. Over 30 are now in jail. The eases will be beard tomorrow, if possible, one of those arrested being selected for a test case, no doubt. The Sal vationists say they will continue to bold their meetings each eight le gardless of the ordinance. The ord inance was intended to prevent the holding of street meetings bv in dividuals of anarchistic tenden cies on the down-town streets. Last week the police decided to make it apply to the Salvation Army.—Lewiston Tribune. One of the nicest displays of fall millin ery can be seen at Nampa in Miss Snell's Ladies' Millinery Emporium.

There cannot be a near woman in fact, but imagination draws the picture of one for us now and then when a scientist or philoso pher undertakes to tell woman what will happen if she keeps do ing things said to have been un known to her grandmother. A woman is always a woman, al though she may not choose to hew to the line fixed by ancient custom. All men are men, even tho' some of them may be called mollycoddles. Women are taking away men's jobs, and it is said by observers that they are going to keep doing so and enlarge their holdings in that line. The president of Bryn Mawr college for women says that women "are steadily taking possession and driving men before them," and, furthermore, they "will be com pelled by economic causes beyond their control to stay in them after marriage." Our grand mothers in their red cheeked days milked the cows, and no one would have dared to hint that a milkmaid was unwomanly be cause of her skill. They husked corn, too, and when the good man was away fed the stock. American women have always taken up man's work from time to time and put it aside when the need was over. If for eco nomic reasons they are better at typewriting, telephoning, tele graphing and bookkeeping than men, they are none the less true women when they do this work. Professor Ross gives the most startling picture of the near wo man when he dips into the future and sees what industrial occupa tions will do for women. Hesays "there will be a reversion to the type of masculine women, squat, fiat chested, broad backed, low browed creatures, working in the fields and factories side by side with men." We shall be com pelled to admit that such "crea tures" would be "near women," according to our modern ideas. On the other hand, President Eliott says, "The higher edu cation ought to fit women for the single occupation of bearing and educating children, and it is the most intellectual occupation in the world." So the true wo man has a chance to remain her self in spite of the education which makes her man's danger ous competitor. Perhaps the industrial woman of Professor Ross and of the president of Bryn Mawr will emulate the educated woman in the matter of atten tion sometimes to the bearing and educating of children. In that case the jewel of woman hood need not depart from wo men who work, and the talked of "reversion to the type of mascu line women" is only a bogy.— Emmett Index. a To be well dressed get your clothing at G. R. Sweeney's. The statue of Gen. Francis E. Spinner, made under the direc tion of an association of women employes of the government, is to be erected opposite the Spiu ner home in Herkimer, N. Y. General Spinner was treasurer of the United States from 1861 to 1875, and when the clerks of the Treasury Department resigned during the Civil War, to enlist in the army, he recommended that their places be fiilled by women. He carried his point against con siderable opposition, and thus opened the door to self-support for many women. He was not able also as the inventor of a peculiar signature which ap peared ou all the national paper currency, and was the butt of the newspaper humorists for years. But he will be remembered long est as the man who called on the women to take the places left va cant by the men who went to the front to fight.—Emmett Index.
