The known gifts since 1893, no account being made of many large bequests .that have not become a matter of record, foot up to move than one billion dollars. The gifts of 1906 are supposed to have exceeded $100,000,000. The bequests of Mr. Car negie and Mr. Rockefeller, together with the equivalent donations by others which these two men are In the habit of demanding as the condition of their own payments, amount to near ly $60,000*000 a year. Until recently the great benefactions were so distrib uted that no one institutional or trust fund, however large if absolutely re garded. could be described as large in a -dative sense. It would not stand in the same class with the capitaliza tion of the larger business enterprises. Now*, however, there is an obvious ten dency toward the creation of single funds of g-eat magnitude. The Sage Fund, for example. Is $10,000,000, and Mr. Rockefeller has recently given $32,000,000 in a lump sum to the Gen eral Sducntior>ai Beard "AH of these charitable and educa tional endowments have in common two attributes, the significance of which will appear as we proceed.

JONES CAPTURED PULAJANES’ HEAD CHIEF MANILA, June 12.—Faustino Ablen. mnd chief of the Pulajanea, oh.. the Island of Leyte, was wounded and cap tured yesterday by Lieutenant Jones, with .a detachment of eight infantry men nnd scouts. Underchlefs UIdarico Rota and Lucia were also captured. The military and civil authorities de clare tlint the capture of these chiefs will end Pulnjaneism on the. island. For five months fourteen columns of troops, with scouts and constabulary, have been campaigning around the hiding places of the Pulajanea. Tho wife and family of Ablen were cap tured May 25. It will now be possible 1o remove trops from Leyte, on which Island tho campaign against tho Pula- janes was begun Juno 14. 1906. The death of Otoy, head of tho Pula- Janes, on the Island of Samar. April 26, has been reported by bandits captur ed yesterday afternoon by the Santa Ri’.a constabulary. enough to warrant his arrest, was not sufficient to secure a conviction. After a trial lasting several weeks James was acquitted. Governor Crit tenden. to whom Frank James laid down his arms when the last remnants of the old James gang went out of ex istence. has taken a personal Interest In young Jesse for many years, and at the time of his trial came to his sup port. It was mainly through the ef forts of Governor Crittenden that James was exonerated of the charges of train robbery brought against him. Shortly after the trial James took itp the study of law at the suggestion of the Governor, and it is largely due to the assistance of the executive that the son of the famous bandit is today a member of the bar. of Chatham County, who is sentenced to be hanged for murder. Appeal is made for commutation to life impris onment on the ground that he is of weak mind. DEATH OF M. 6. HUGUES; VARIED AND STIRRING CAREER. Atlanta on Water Wagon. ATLANTA.

It Is thought that the bombardment of Acajutla is the beginning of great struggle in Central America which has been so long coming. Acajutla is but a few hours from San Jose DeGuatemala, which is be lieved to be Zelaya’s objective point.

This is to miss an ex tremely important fact, namelv: While the secular nobility, as feudal lords, wqre moved by self-jnterest in oppos ing mortmain, the Sroade- and more philosophical opposition of the state as a whole, in England and on the con tinent. was based on the elemental principle of sovereignty. The state could not countenance the growth of a power that as. imperium in irrt- perio, might become stronger than it self. "This broad ground of condemna tion may exist in the most modern of republics as in the most medieval states.” After discussing the American law hearing on this subject and the opin ions of eminent jurists, that apear to bear out the contention that the crea tion of funds in perpetuity is danger ous.

So far as they are con- «iii u isi mm wr ra From the Brooklyn Eagle. The American woman is giving t.he male sex a mighty hard struggle to re strict her to lines of occupation that seem to be suited only to femininity. According to some census statistics given out today enough women have crowded themselves into positions of hard manual labor, supposed to he controlled exclusively by men, to jus tify the officials in taking them into account in compiling general labor statistics. In 1900 there were 5.000.000 v7omen working in the United States. Women are gradually monopolizing the teach ing business. In 1880 the percentage of female teachers was 67,8; now it is 73.4. Most of the 5.000,000 women at work were young women: 68.4 per cent were under 25, and 25.6 per cent had not reached the age of 21. These figures are in marked contrast with those of the male sex. Of the men 16 years of age and over reported as workers or breadwinners, only 24.7 per cent were under the age of 25 and only 12.7 per cent were under 21. This con trast is indicative of the fact that large numbers of women who support themselves and others in early life cease to be breadwinners upon assum ing the responsibilities of marriage and child-bearing. One-third of Married Women Have to Work. This conclusion is substantiated by the statistics of marital or conjugal condition. Almost two-thirds, or 65 per cent., of the total number of wo men at work were single, while 15.9 per cent were married, 17.7 per cent were widows, and 1.3 per cent were divorced. The total number of women 16 years of age and over in continental United States in 1900 was 23 485,550. The number at work constituted 20.6 per cent of this total. In other words, custon. _ one woman in every five was a bread- i employing over 1.000 women scach and over reported as having a gainful oc cupation was 2.353,988: .in 1900 it was 4 833,630, and Increase 'of 2,479,642, or 105.3 per cent. In other words, the number of women at work more than doubled in this interval of twenty years. Of course the incase was in part the result ~6¥~fire growth cj the popu lation. But this accounts fer not much more than one-half of the total increase, and it is probable that there were over 1,000.000 women engaged- in gainful occupation In 1900 who v.-nuld not have taken up such occupations if tendencies had remained the same - as thev were twenty years before. The increasing participation of women in indust ial pursuits is indicated by the increase shown in the percentages. Of the women 16 years of age and over. 16 per cent were at work 1820. 19 per cent In 1890. and 20.6 per cent in 1000. • Increase in Emo'oyment of Married Women A comparison with the census of 1890 as regards the number of women who are bread winers in each marital class a very noticeable - increase of the employment of maried women. As already pointed out the percentage of be - adwinrfers among marriedi women is small as compared with the cor responding percentage for single, wid owed and .divorced women, but it In creased f om 4.6 in 1890 to 5.6 in 1800. which means approximately that one married woman in 18 was at work In 1900, as compared with one' in 22 in 1890. or that the proportion at work increased by almost one-half. In the report of the 1900 census the detailed classification of breadwinners with respect to the kind of wmk in which they were engaged distinguish es 303 occupations. Women are rep resented in nil but hree of these oc cupations. Sfaturaiiy no women were reported as Unit'd States sol diers. sailors or marines: nor were any reported as members of the fire department or as street car drivers (though 2 were reported as mQtormen. But the reader may note with in terest, and perhaps with some sur prise. that 5 females were employed as pilots: that on steam railroads 10 were employed as baggagemen, 31 as brake- men, 7 as conductors, 45 as engin«e~s, and firemen, and 26 as switchmen, yardmen and flagmen: that 43 were carriage and hack drivers, that 6 were reported as ship carpenters, and two as roofers and slaters: that as many as 185 we-e returned as blacksmiths and 508 as machinists: that 8 were boiler makers; that 31 were charcoal, coke ana lime burners, and that It were well borers. Of course these figures have little economic or sociological significance beyond Indicating that there are few kinds of work f'om which the female sex is absolutely de barred. either by nature or" by law or There were 125 occupations orovement. ■>?e and banq’j tht NEGOO Mlvi'Tsos CALL PACr TO CONTEST DISFRANCHISEMENT ’r.n me DUBLIN, men ssv tV, turf official: Croker from Croker with for the Rny handlcapper pounds not a chance to win.

Of the toal male population of the same age—that is, 16 years and over—90 5 per cent were breadwinners. This dif ference between the sexes as regards the percentage of breadwinners is probably not greater than would be anticipated. Men take up some occu pation almost as a matter of course, and usually follow it the greater part of their lives. With women the adop tion of an occupation, although by no means unusual, is far from being cus tomary, and in the well-to-do classes of society is exceptional. Moreover the pursuit of an occupation by wo men is probably more often temporary than permanent The percentage of bread winners among women varies widely in differ ent classes and at different age periods. The influence of age differences is shown by the fact that while the per centage of bread winners is 32.3 for women 16 to 20 years of age and 30.8 for these 2} to 24 years of age. it is only 19.9 for those 25 to 34 years and becomes. still smaller in the older age groups. In other words, more than 30 per cent of the women under 25 were at work, but hardly 20 per cent of those between 25 and 35. and consider ably less than 20 per cent of those over 35. This difference is directly attribut able to marital condition rather than to age. The principal reason why the older women compri r e a smaller per centage of beard winners Is not that j they are older but that more of them j are married. The contrast between the j marital classes is very marked. Of j the single women. 49.9 .per cent were, at work: of the marr'ed, ohly 5.6 per j c«mt. For widows the percentage is | 31.5—not as high a-- that for single women, but much higher than that for the married. Divorced Women at Work. The number of divorced women re turned by the census probably de- fieier,t because the far* Of divorce is not always admitted. But it Is signifi cant that of the number reported as divorced at the time of the twelfth Census. 55.3 per cent, or more than ore-half, were supporting themselves wholly cr in part by their own earn ings. ' This Is a higher P“rren‘age of beard winners than was shown for wo men in anv other marital class. It has been suggested that the increase of di- , 63 emnloving over 5,000. Half Million Female Farm Laborers. Notwithstanding the increased di versity of employment for women, do mestic service still remains the most important by far of the occupations in which they are engaged. Of the 4.836.630 women in continentai_United States reported as engaged in gain ful occupations at he time of the twelfth census, 1,124.383. r>r t4lrr«9(t one-fourth of the total number, were returned as servants. It may seem surprising that the next most impor tant occupation for womev is that of farm laborer, and that the number of women reported as following this oc cupation was 456,405 or almost half a million. The significance of the figures will be better understood when it is pointed out that 442,006 or'96.8 per cent of these female farm laborers were re ported frm the Southern Sates, and that 361.804 or 79.3 pe- cent of the total number were of the negro race. More over It appears that 277.727. or 60.9 per cent of the total number were members of the farmer’s famlUes.-rep- resentlng the wives and grown-up daughters assisting in >he work on the home farms. Next to these two leading ccupa- tions come four occupations not far apart in numerical importance, though widely different in character They are the occupation of dressmaker.laundress, teacher and farmer. The larges of these occupations—that of dressmaker —employed 338,114 women, and the smallest—that of fa* mer—employed 397.706. Of teachers there were 327.- 206: of laundresses. 328,935. Three-fifths of the total number of women reported as breadwinners were found in the six occupations employ ing more than 390,000 women each, the ag**evate number in these occupations being 2,882.779. The total number of women reported as textile mill opera tives—231.458—makes the seventh oc cupation group in numerical Impor tance. The occupation next in rank is that of housekeepers and steward esses. This comprised 146.929 women. » The housekeepers here referred to are those working fo- wages, the housework or housekeeping done by women in thrtr own homes not being treated by the census as a gainful occu pation. although ft has. of course, a, great economical importance not to be overlooked in any attempt to estimate the social value of wonman's work....
