CITY WATER WORKS ENTERS ITS CLAIM The Richmond city water works company baa filed claim for $18.58 gainst the estate of the late James McNeill, a well known real estate dealer anil insurance agent BURNING OF WIDOWS. ithe Herrible Kite India Maintained I Fee Over Twenty Centuries. I The abolition ef the horrid rite of jrtdow burnbag In India was decreed to? the British authorities In lS2s. 1 The dreadful practice was found there by the Macedonians under Alexander the Great 900 years before Christ, and for more than twenty-one long, weary centuries did It repeat Its almost Inconceivable torture and agony upon the women of India. The eacrlnce. while not actually forced on the wife, was so strongly Insisted on by publle opinion that It amounted to a law, and Its victims were legion. Scores of widows were often burned upon the funeral pile of a single rajah. In Bengal, the bead center of the monstrosity, thousands were sacrificed annually, and the figure for all India was appalling. The millions of widowed women Were completely at the mercy of the remorseless superstition of the times. The ministers of Brabmanlam told the widow that her sacrifice was neoeesary as a means of r own happiness and that ef her Vsband in the future state, and oftener than otherwise she consented to be burned along with the dead body of her husband. Tnlei she did this she was covered with the maledictions and curses or the people, was virtually outlawed an t unceremoniously cast outside the pole of human sympathy and consideration and had to Spend the rest of her days In degradation and wretchedness. It was death on the funeral pile of her husband or a living death ef contumely and shame, of loneliness and misery. The women of India can never discharge their debt of gratitude to England for the abolition of the suttee. New York American.

Woman'sWorld

No Crr Crtittr Than Hommaking, 8ay Misa Tarbell. 9 by J. K. Purdjr. MISS IDA V. TARBBLIi. This is what Miss Ida Tarbell, the biographer of Standard Oil and author of "Life of Lincoln," has to say about woman's civic duty. "The most valuable citizen in the world is the woman who stays at homo and properly brings up a family of children. "A woman's first and most important duty to t he state Id -the same as it always has been since the beginning of things the rearing of good citizens. "There Is no achievement, literary, artistic, what you will, which a woman can perform that Is of the same vital significance to the nation as the rearing of a family of mentally, morally, physically healthy boys and girls. There Is no profession containing such real honor for a woman as that of homcmaklng. And It Is the great national Job for the majority of us. Let us see that we stick to It We can't do anything better." Miss Tarbell's Interviewer here interposed that It was not possible for all women to marry, and she was asked what civic duties were best performed by the single ones. Miss Tarbell said: "They still serve the state In many ways. The highest service that they can perform is to become teachers. Women do excellent work on boards of hospitals, reformatories, prisons, asylums and schools. Indeed, there should be a proportion of women on all such boards, though there should be men also. "As factory and milk and tenement home inspectors women do splendid service. There should be many more women probation officers. All state Institutions taking care of women and children should be largely administered by women." Household Economics. To make biscuits light drench with gasolluo and Ignite before serving. To keep servants chloroform and lock In the cellar. To get rid of peddlers buy all they have. To remove fruit stalus from linen use the scissors. To keep rats out of the pantry put all the food in the cellar. To entertain women visitors let them read all your private papers. To entertain men visitors feed the brutes. To keep children at home lock 'em In the garret. To keep hobby at heme lock up all his clothes. To prevent accldeuts in the kitchenfill the kerosene can with water. To stop leeks In pipes send in a hurry up for the nearest plumber. To economize on coal get a gas range. To test freshness of eggs drop on hard surface. To propitiate the janitor you can't do it. Lippincott's. Large Waists. The Venus of Milo dressed in Parisian modes might pass muster now. Thirty Inches is none too big for a waist Faria made the law, and every one followed it joyously. Even the stays, pull as you may, will not give you a small waist It is even rumored that Frenchwomen pad the front of the figure to cause it to appear straight. but the one desideratum Is to keep the hips to the straight line. Catherine de' Medici when she in troduced the bone corset mado thirteen inches the right size for the waist, and many a woman at court sacrificed her life to attain it. There Is no necessity to have long bones to keep in the hips. Coutil or brocade may be cut so as to confine the dimen Ions. Digestive organs are now left full and easy play. Woman and Suffragottot. On his visit to America Father Vaughan of London (called by Chee terton "the Mayfair priest who makes the comfortable classes feel uncomfort able") was asked, "Would you give otcs to women?" "I would make no difficulty about giving votes to women," he answered. But, you understand." he added, with twinkling eye. "once you give votes to women the suffragettes would be wanting them also." Success.

PRESIDENT TAFT THREATENS VETO

If Tariff Revision Attempted Without Advice of the Tariff Board. (American News Service Washington. March 21. President Taft will oppose any revision of the tariff without first securing a report from the tariff board or action of Democrats with the aid of insurgent Republicans, during the extra session, toward revision of the textile sched ules. They will be threatened with a veto. This is the information which the president allowed to become known to day. He wants the extra session to take up reciprocity first; permanent establishment of a tariff board, second; possibly an Knglish arbitration treaty, and then speedy adjournment. As for reopening the tariff question he wants that postponed until the regular session of congress in December. At that time he expects the tariff board to have a report ready to submit to congress. The president will be busy for some days in conference on the Mexican situation. These began today and he will talk with Gen. Leonard Wood, Secretary of tho Navy Meyer, state department officials. Senor De La Rarra, and various others. Leading Republican members of the senate and house now in Washington will be freely consulted. President Taft conferred with Secretary of War Dickinson today and will see Senor De La Barra this afternoon. The president does not intend to set forth in his first message to congress any detailed statement as to the Mexican situation. RAT ROW RESIDENTS EXCITED BY BLAZE The fire departments fought a stiff little roof blaze, at 10 South Sixth street, for an hour this afternoon, confining the fire to a two story brick building. In tho upper story lives a colored family, Mrs. Bessie Burden, and children, and on the lower floor is the saloon of John Vosmeler. The goods of the Burdens's was damaged considerably. The total loss will probably bo $350. When tho department arrived the wind was fanning the flames toward the Main street buildings, but hard work prevented a spread of the fire. Tho fire resulted from a defective flue and because of the dry timbers and roof, gained considerable headway. A big crowd witnessed the work of the firemen.

LOST HIS

HEARING

When Hit by Lump of Coal Files Suit. Alleging that a falling lump of bituminous coal fell from a tender and struck him on the head, rendering him unconscious for over twenty-four hours, and practically destroying the drum of his right ear. Ott E. Hoffman has filed suit against the Pennsylvania company in the circuit court, demanding $5,000 for personal Injuries. The accident occurred on January 25 at the Simon's Creek bridge, a mile west of Dublin. Hoffman was employed by a con tractor as night watchman of the bridge and as night fireman of boilers used by the contractor. The bridge was being placed over the creek for the new double tracked system of the comapny. As a deep cut is being made the new system is about eight feet below the grade of the old line at this point. Hoffman alleges that the track was not well ballasted and also crooked, so that when trains passed by this point, usually at a speed of forty moles an hour they swayed back and forth. On the night in question he declared he was standing on the bridge when a train passed and because the tender was overloaded, a large lump of coal was hurled off by the swaying motion of the train. It struck him on the right side of the top of his head, rendering him instantly unconscious. He was found about 7 o'clock the next morning but did not regain consciousness until January 27. He claims he was in bed two weeks as a result of the accident and that his nervous system was seriously affected. He has not been able to hear out of his right ear since. FRANCE HONORS FAMOUS FENCER Taris, March 21. A supplement to the honors list appears In the Journal Officiel, notifying the award of the Legion of Honor to the famous fencing chamuion, Kirchhoffer. Eighteen months ago he was invincible and a model of strength, suppleness and An apparently trifling wound in the left foot, however, developed into the seat of a fortunately rare but malignant disease styled "obliterating arteritis." The toes were separately amputated until the whole foot had to follow. Soon after a similar effection declared itself in the right foot. After suffering perpetual and almost intolerable pain for more than a year the second foot had to be taken off. and Kirchhoffer is an absolute cripple. The Figarro has opened a subscription for him, which is being generously responded to, and the government has signfied the almost national sympathy by gazetting him to the Legion of Honor. At the age of nineteen Kirchhoffer beat all the best fencers in France, and was practically never worsted. He may be said to be almost the last of the brilliant school of French masters, as also the last exponent of fencing as a fine art. Cure Those CHILLS Quinine, hot-water bottles and blankets usually constitute the treatment when suffering from chills. Such treatment will undoubtedly do some good, but the benefit received is only temporary. The pores should be kept open, perspiration induced, all pains and aches removed and the system rid of malarial poisons. NYAL'S CHU1 Tonic Was devised for that very purpose it does it, too. It is pleasant and easily taken does not contain quinine is much more effective and there are no unpleasant after effects It not only rids the system of the malarial poisons it puri Ties the blood, strengthens it and builds up the broken down body tissues.

NEW EHE FOR THE CITY PLANT

Council Appropriates $10,000 Realizing Business Demands Such. The city council appropriated $10,000 last night, to install a new high power engine at the municipal electric lighting plant, on the recommendation Of Controller E. G. McMahan, the Board of Works and Superintendent Johnson of the light plant. The business of the plant has grown so materially In the last few years that the engine to be replaced is no longer adequate to pull the load. The prospects are for greater business in the future. The Mayor declared that within ten years Richmond would have a population of 40.000. The old engine is of 450 kilowatts capacity, so that It is unable to get the required power from the dynamo. The engine has a fly wheel of 21,000 pounds while the new one will have a 35.000 pound wheel. Nimrod Johnson told council that the engine to give the requisite power must maintain a speed of 150 revolutions to the minute, no 'matter what load is thrown on or taken off. If the engine fails to maintain the Speed the lights and power fluctuate, giving very unsatisfactory service. Voltage of 110 for lights and 210 for power must be maintained at the plant at all times, but with the old engine, which is not strong enough to hold the speed automatically, the power fluctuates. The engineers have to keep a sharp watch on the switchboard to keep the engine at speed. The engine has seen hard service for nine years. Mr. Johnson asked that the appropriation be made last night, as It takes some time for engine delivery. He wants to install it during June and July as this is the time of the lightest load. Johnson said that competition was very "stiff" here and the other company would take every advantage of misfortunes at the plant. For this reason the matter has been kept secret. K
