NEWEST THEORY OF MAN'S ORIGIN

Prof. Thomas of Chicago University Says Woman Ruled in Beginning. SHE LOSES BY EVOLUTION HER POSITION NOW NOT AS STRONG AS FORMERLY MAN NOT THE WOOER, HE SIMPLY THINKS HE IS. 'Publishers' Tress Chicago, 111., August U. Prof W. I. Thomas of the University of Chicago a sociologist authority of note and a fellow instructor of Prof. Charles Ziublin, has produced a treatise on woman, which, after ignoring the Ad;:ni and Kvo and numerous other theories of the origin of humans, proposes h unique history of t he relations of man and woman from the beginning of time to the present day. Life itself in the beginning was female, and for coiintlessages after man was created from woman the latter ruled him and was his superior, the professor holds, in the essay, which is printed in the current number of the American .Journal of Sociology, issued from the I'niversity -of Chicago press yesterday. Then came a transition in which man gained the upper hand which has resulted in the. middle or higher classes, In the degeneration of the physical, moral and mental life of woman. The Process of Evolution. Prof. Thomas places the title "The Adventitious Character of Woman" to his essay. His theory is expressed in part as follows: Life itself was in the beginning female, so far as sex could be postulated of it at all, and the life process was primarily a female process, assisted by the male. "Up to a certain point in his physical and social evolution man shows an interesting structural and mental adaptation to woman, or to the reproductive process which she represents, while the latter stages of history show on the other hand, that the mental attitude or woman, and consequently her forms of behavior, have been profoundly modified and even her physical life deeply affected ,hy her effort to adjust to man. ".Man represented the more violent and spasmodic activities, involving motion and skillful coordinations, as well as organization for hunting and fishing, while woman carried on the steady settled life. Consequently her attention was turned to industries, since these were compatible with settled and stationary habits." After a time, Prof. Thomas says, hunting "played out," and man began to "adopt the settled occupations of woman. Gradually he began also to rely not altogether on ornament, exploits, and trophies to get the attention and favor of woman. "Under a new stimulation to be at tractive, and with the addition (i ornament to the repertory of her charms woman has assumed ;m almost aggressive attitude towaru courtship. The means of attraction are so elaborated, anil heV technique is so finished, that she is really more active in courtship than man. We speak of man as tho wooer, but falling ill love isreally meditated by woman. "The American woman of the better class has no superior rights and no duties, and yet she Is' worrying herself to death not over specific troubles, but. because she has lost her connection with reality. Many women more intelligent and energetic than their husbands and brothers have no more serious occupations than to play the house cat, with or without ornament. It is a wonder that more of them do not loose their mind: that more of them do not break with the system entirely is due solely to the inhibitive effects of early habit and suggestion.

IN CANAL ZONE

Chairman Shont. Discusses the Preaent'Ccnditions. New York, Aug. 11. T. P. Shonts, chairman, and JoBeph B." BUhop, secretary of the Panama canal .commission, arrived here from Colon on the steamer Panama. Mr. Shonts said that general conditions in the canal tone were very favorable at present and constantly improving. 'A'.l we want,'' he declared, "is more labor and Jess rain. The labor problem has been partially solved by the employment of Spanish workmen. We have also ad vertised for Chinese laborers. The death rate has rien from lVfc per cent last winter to 5 per cent at the present time, which is a better showing than the average labor camp in this country. Yellow feyer has not appeared in a long time, and for the nine previous days to rny departure no smallpox was prevalent. It will be some dayp, however, before we can be sure that the disease has been entirely radicated." Charge Against Middies. Washington, Aug. 11. The navy department, has just been informed in a report from the navy academy of the first violations of the so-called anti hazing law of April 9, 190G. The report gives the names of four or five midshipmen who are considered worthy of dismissal, and although their offense is in violation of the ant.i-hazing law, they are not charged with hazing. There is much interesi among naval officials as to what k tent the president" will approve tho recomrneudations from the uaval academy. Bryan In Paris. Paris, Aug. 11. William J. Bryan, accompanied by his wife and daugh ter, arrived here for a four days' visit. A number of friends gathered at the railroad station and gave the party a cordial greeting. Mr. Bryan did not wish to talk about his candidacy for the presidency of the United States, saying this had already been length ly discuased, and he had nothing to add to his previous statements. He was much interested in the social problems of France, and the recent enactment of the worWngmen's'pensions law, and the enforced weekly day of rest. "It'appears," Mr. Bryan said, "to be naitiof the democratic derelopment'which I have observed to be going on all over the world." Stearrer On the Rocks. Ponta Delgada, Azores Islands. Aug. 11. The fore part.of the steamer Brooklyn, from Marseilles for Xew York, .,ith over 300 immigrants on board, which grounded on entering this port, i resting on the rocks. A salvage steamer and two tugs are in attendance on the Brooklyn, which must discharge her cargo. The passengers are being landed. MORE LIGHT ON ENDLESS CHAIN Bishop Lawrence Makes Denial of the Claim He Wrote Jhe Prayer. LETTERS STILL COMING RICHMOND PEOPLE HAVE RECEIVED COPIES OF THEM DURING THE PAST WEEK THE WHOLE COUNTRY AFFLICTED. The endless chain of " prayer letters" which invaded Richmond recently is gradually being broken, though within the past few days many Richmond people have received copies of them. The letters have appeared in almost every section of the United States within the past month and a dispatch from Boston, Mass., yesterday says that so much annoyance has been caused to the Rev. William Lawrence, Episcopal Bishop of Massachussetts, by the flood of letters whi-jh been pouring in for several months regarding the so-called "endless chain of prayer", which was alleged to have been started by him that the bishop has found it necessary to issue the following denial that he is connected with the matter: "The endless chain of praver, said 'to have been written by Bishop Law- ! rence is a hoax. Bishop Lawrence of Massachussetts, never wrote it and , knows nothing about it. It is the work of some demented or mischievous person." Woman Sick With Fear. One of the most striking letters regarding the matter was received by the editor of a Montreal paper from a correspondent in British Columbia. This correspondent wrote as follows: "I inclose you a copy of a letter (the endless chain letter) with which the 1'nitod States and Canadian mails are flooded. I received the seventh today from Canada and have resolved to give the matter publicity. "One of my lady correspondents writes me that she is 'sick with fear' for her husband would not let her follow the directions in the letter she received of the kind, and she was so afraid that some calamity would befall herself or family that she has disobeyed him and written secretly nine letters and sent them off to as many different parties, myself being one of the victims, thus placing nine others under the 'ban of the curse.' as she calls it, if they do not do likewise. I am sending a copy of the letter that is causing so much discussion to several of the leading newspapers in Canada and the United States and hope the matter will be so widely discussed that it will put a stop to such a sacrilege."

MAD NOUSES ARE FILLING RAPIDLY Statistics Show a Frightful Increase in Number of In

sane Person HEAVY STRAIN ON BRAINS MENTAL TROUBLES CHIEFLY AMONG LABORERS AND THE I DISEASE EVIDENTLY IS ONE OF ADVANCING AGE. Publishers' Press Washington. IJ. C. Aug.. 11. The report which has just appeared from the Census Bureau dealing with insanity and feeble-mindedness. gives some interesting but rath'T startling figures on the growth of the number of insane persons in this country in the hist "." years. The number of insane hospitals increased from M per IOu.uim) persons in 1S0 U ISO in l'.u)."- a suflicient indication, were any wanting, of the strain which Americans of the present day put on their brains. During the single year of 1!04 more than 49,000 insane- persons were admitted to hospitals; how many there may have been who were unable to secure treatment the report does not state. Foreigners contribute largely to the insane class; negrxs hardly at all, and while there is a stronger tendency to insanity among men than among women, the latter, when they do become insane, live longer. While it might be expected that insanity would be found chiefly among professional men and brain workers, the reverse is true, for laborers and servants are in the majority. Insanity is evidently a disease of age, and feeble mindedness of youth, for while the hospitals contain no insane under 12 years of age, 5S per cent of the feeble minded are under twenty, and 8.1 per cent under thirty. SMALL BOY WAS DRUNK Lad of 12 Years Arrested in Moral Muncie and the Police Investigate. Muncie, Aug. 11, (Spl.) So full of liquor that he was insensible and his condition gravely serious, Albert Baughman, a 12-year-old boy, was found lying in an alley by Detective John Carey, who took the youngster to police station, where a physician worked for several minutes to revive him. After regaining consciousness the lad was severely questioned by Chief of Police Seldomridge, who detailed officers to proceed with an investigation. WITH A BRIDGE Freighter In CoMiBion at Duluth. Navigation Blocked. Duluth, Minn., Aug. 11. The steamer Troy, a package freighter owned by the Western Transit company, collided with the span of the interstate bridge and precipitated it to the channels on either side of the center pier on which the span revolved. Navigation to and from the upper harbor, the most active portion of the head of the Jakes, is blocked. The span was about one-third open at the time of the crash. The accident is the most disastrous that has ever happened in the Duluth-Superior harbor. The wrecked bridge lies in such a manner as to block the channel on both sides of the center pier, so that it is impossible even for a tug to pass. Street railway and team traffic between Duluth and Superior is cut off, and will be for some time to come. Cortelyou's Mission. New York, Aug. 11. George B. Cortelyou, chairman of the Republican national committee, spent three days this week in this city in secret conferences with leaders of the party, with a view to bringing warring factions in the organization in this state into complete hanjuony, if possible, before the opening of the state campaign. Among the men whom he consulted are Republicans of large influence, Borne of them not identified actively with either the Odell-Quigg or the Parsons-Higgins factions. Petition of Finnish Senate. Helsingfors, Aug. 11. The Finnish senate has offered the withdrawal of the Red guard from the country, and a petition to the emperor is being prepared in favor of the re-establishment of the old Finnish army of eight battalions for the purpose of restoring the authority of the new Finnish government among the masses. With the same view the emperor will be asked to advance the date of the elections to the new diet in order that the assembly may meet by the new year. Cattlemen Score a Point. Chicago. Aug. 11. The cattlemen feel they have gained an important point In the interpretation of the regulations with regard to the time of the weighing of cattle. Under the interpretation of the new rules accepted at the conference here, cattle will be weighed before inspection, and if thf animal is condemned either before killing or in the post-mortem inspection the producer will stand the loss.

Six men were burned by an explosion in the paint locker on the torpedo boat destroyer Wordon at the Newport navy yard. While driving rivets in the paint locker of the Worden one of the hot pieces of steel fell into a quantity of varnish, causing it to explode. The force of the explosion was so great that Robert White and W. H. Wilson, who were driving the rivets, were blown through the opening leading into the paint locker and landed on deck. Of the injured William II. Wilson, who was burned on the head and entire left side from waist up, may die. Deckhands' Strike Off. New York, Aug. 11. The strike of deckhands employed on the tugboats of a number of railroads here, which threatened at one time to tie up tho food supply of the city, is practically at an end. All the railroads affected have their entire fleet running with the exception of the Baltimore and Ohio, the employes of which decline a partial concession to their demands, and the Lehigh Valley road. Due to Russian Upheaval, London, Aug. 11. A Persian official here said that the gi anting of a constitution to Persia was one of the effects of the Russian upheaval. The news of the Russian struggle 'had long been the subject of discussion in the buzaars of Persia. The economic distress in that country also played no small part in creating the desire for some measure of political freedom. Alleged Graft Deal. Milwaukee, Wis., Aug. 11. A graft deal whereby the city is known to have been defrauded out of at least $1,125, and possibly a much greater sum, has been unearthed at the City hall, and as a result two warrants for the arrest of the suspects were issued. John Brozek, city sidewalk inspector, accused of obtaining money under false pretenses, was arrested. GIVING AID TO WRECK VICTIMS Pennsylvania's "First Aid" Packets to be Conspicious Every Where. IT IS SYSTEMATIC WORK SURGICAL INSTRUMENTS, MEDICINES. ETC., ALL PACKED AND READY FOR USE SEALED IN AIR TIGHT CASES. The Pennsylvania has adopted a new first aid packet which will be placed on all trains, both passenger and freight, in all signal towers, block stations and in all the shops and de- ! pots. Heretofore, there has been no 'standard size but several different kinds, at different points over the system and as a result the trainmen and others who had occasion to use them, often found that the packet that happened to be on their train or in the block station near which an accident had happened was unfamiliar to them and they were hampered in ; their work of giving aid to the injured. I With the adoption of a standard form, jthis difficulty will be eliminated and wherever a trainman happens to be on the system he will be perfectly familiar with the first aid packet, in case j he should hav use for it. i The new packet, is a small wooden case about twelve inches hieh and nine inches square at the base. It contains three compartments. In the lower one is a small wash basin, in the second is a set of surgical instruments and in the third are medicines. The instruments and the medicines are in tin cases and sealed air-tight in order that they may be in a condition of immediate use without being sterilized. Sunday Excursion to Chicago. Via.
