The light of this modern gospel, as It penetrates into darkest Pittsburg has produced some curious effects. The direction of public safety of that city, deeming It prudent to forbid women entering public drinking places when not escorted by men, issued an order to that effect, but upon realising that this order was an undue infringement of the personal rights of women, has sought to balance justice by announcing that he will provide two saloons for women, from which all things masculine, even the bartender and the porter are to be dras tically excluded. Nor, does he propose to permit a man, even when escorted by a lady to enter into these fem inine boosariums. This is progress, surely. If women want equal rights with men, this Pittsburg authority thinks they should be given them—And why not ? If men have the right to destroy their ambitions, slacken their energies, and becloud their wits with alcohol, who is there to de ny women the same high privilege ? Rarely, if ever has so broad minded a public offic ial come to our attention. We hail this direction of public safety of Pittsburg with reverent interest. He is one of the few who realize that women’s rights are two sided. , / Usually speaking this clamor for equal rights for women is misunderstood. It is thought that the women still desire to be restrained in directions whioh are not no righteous. Men want all the rights, chief of which is their right to do wrong and second to this, their right to re strain women from doing likewise, but here we find a man in Pittsburg boldly declaring that rights are equal and although public safety demands sex will turn and lead the way upward. More likely it is that the freedom of choice which the women are gaining will be erercised with an increas ing discretion. The pendulum will swing back in due time, perhaps even before the saloons for women begin to flourish under their patronage. At any rate this is a pleas ing hope. THE VINDICATION It aeeinr* that I>r.

BRYAN’S ATTITUDE TOWARD GRAFTERS Mr Bryan first showed his Intense antagonism toward Roger Sullivan of Illinois at the national Democratic con vention which nominated Parks*. There were two delegations from Chicago, one of which was headed hy Sullivan. Pry an very- stubbornly resisted Sullivan's Claim of rec,lgnition, and while Bryan exercised great Influence In that body, yet he could not keep Sullivan out. Now Sullivan Is a candidate for the United States senate. Bryan Is against him. Just as he would he against lty-an or Murphy, or any one of their class. The election of Sullivan to the senate would not help Wilson's administration, and It would add nothing to the strength or respectability of that body. It Is not surprising that Mr Bryan ahould Indicate his opposition to Hulll vnn. and. Indeed. It would not he sur prising to see Mr Bryan take an active part In the campaign, for men of Sul livan's class are the men Bryan has been fighting with all the strength at his command throughout all the years sine* 1»«, when lie was first nomi nated for president. He has fought them and they have fought him. His most conspicuous triupm over them however, was at the Baltimore conven tion, when he challenged and pul to rout the Murphy crowd and tirade It pos sible for Wilson to he nominated on a real IVmooratlc platform.

Never waa the rcKourcrfulnCaa of a people ao allniulaterl hh waa that of the American people during the period of the war of aeceaalon. Thousand* of the hrlghteat mind* on both aide* were loudly engaged, dally, hourly, and every rrinute of the time, trying to figure out Home acherne by which they could defout their oppo nent*. And it I* curloun to note that a* I *oon a* aotne great Innovation In the I art of war wa* put In operation by one aide, the Ingenuity of the other ! wn* aure to be equal to the emergency and produce aome device that would circumvent the design* of the other. The mod noteworthy example of thla wa* the Merrlmac and the Moni tor. Tho Merrlmae. an entirely new type of war Vessel and the produet of Confederate Inventive genlua, appeared and nnlhllated the Federal fleet In Hampton Roads. But before the Mer rlmae could destroy other fleet*, tho Monitor, a still later type, that the Federal* produced, appeared on the scene and the two destroyed each other. For well planned, boldly conceived and admirably carried out In It* every detail, whal In known a* the Andrew* Raid of the Federal* will go down In tliato.y a* a atrlklng example of cool nes*, resolution and determination with almost eertain death staring them In the fare In ease of failure and with plaudit* of the whole world In the event of Hucee**. How near the scheme came to gucceas will appear from the following story: The Andrews Raider*. In April, 1862, a Federal force under General Mitchell was marching on Chattanooga, which wns a point of Immense strategic Importance. Chat tanooga was connected with Atlanta by a single line of railroad 137 rnllea long, called the Western and Atlan tic. This railroad, which was one of the oldest In the country, was In the hands of the Confederates, and was very use ful to the Confederates In keeping ll|elr western armies supplied with men, provisions and ammunition. ,If this line should be destroyed the Con federacy would be hopelessly divided and Its very existence be threatened. There are 14 bridges crossing Chlck amauga creek on this road, besides the bridge spunnlng the Tennessee river. It was determined to make the attempt to burn these and J. J. An drews, a Kentuckian, was selected as the leader of the daring enterprise. Twenty-four young men were care fully selected from those who volun teered for the service, which were known to be men of coolness and cour age. They were all, more or les, fa miliar with the country In which they expected to opernte. The General and the Texae. Chattanooga was the point desig nated for them to meet, but only twen ty-two were present at the rendezvous. After going over their plan, they sep arated Into twos and threes agreeing to meet again at Marietta, which Is 20 miles north of Atlanta. They took the morning train that left Atlanta at 6 o'clock, traveling os tensibly as men whose furloughs had expired and who were going to rejoin Bragg's army. Seven miles north of Marietta Is a sidetrack, water tank and eating house called Big Shanty, which was made memorable by the opening play of the exciting game that was to follow. Here She train stopped for break fast. While the passengers and train crow were eating breakfast, Andrews and his men strolled about leisurely. In pairs and groups, until they stood around the engine. This was an old style locomotive of the wood-burner type, called the General. There were three empty freight cars next to the engine wl'h the passenger coaches In the rear. While some of the party uncoupled the rear freight ear from the front passenger coach, the rest of the raid ers climbed Into the freight cars. Two expert engineers. Brown and Knight, manned the engine, which darted off like a hound released from the leash. The Thrilling Chase. The train conductor. Captain W. A. Fuller, was quietly eating breakfast when lie noticed through the window the suspicious actions of the Andrews party. Jumping up, he shouted to Jeff Cain, the engineer, and Anthony Mur phy. superintendent of the railroad shops, "Somebody has got our truln!” By this time the stolen train was disappearing around a curve In the direction of Chattanooga. leaving a trail of black smoke in Its wake. With great presence of nilml and decision, accompanied by Cain and Murphy, he started off hotfooting It to Moons station, two miles above Big Shanty He soon outran htr compan ions. When he got to Mount he learned that tho General had stopped there and that the tools of the sectldn hands hud been stolen and the wires cut. Then the truth dawned upon Fuller, for he knew that If the men were de serters, as it was first supposed, they would have no use for track tools and they would not likely cut the wires. His determination was stronger than ever to overtake the raiders. He eelxed an old handcar and. assist ed by sonte section hands, he put back for Cain and Murphy. He hoped to reach the Ktowah river, 15 miles dis tant, by the time the raiders got lo Kingston. 17 miles still further on. At Etowah, he hoped to find the Jonah, an engine belonging to Mark A. Coop er, with steam up Snd with which to continue the chase. He knew also that the schedule called for the trains to meet at Kingston and there was a good chance for considerable delay on that account. The Excitement Grow* in Intensity. The tender was quickly attached to the Yonah and a coal car coupled up. They also took on half a dozen Con federate soldiers, who volunteered to Join In the chase. From Ktowah to Kingston they ran at the rate of 60 miles an hour, which strained evry bolt and stay-rod In the old engine's mechanism. But at Kingston they found that the raiders had been there aud passed on.

Meantime, the Andrew* party, hav ing cut the wire* at R|g Hhunty, felt secure. Andrew* was under the Im pression thut there wa* hut one train to be met. At <'a*s Station, 28 mile* above Hlg Khanty, they took on wood and water ami *eoured a time-table. The information In regard to meeting train* proved to lie wrong and arriv ing at Kingston they found thAre a train currying a retl flag, signifying there waa another section to come, and when It hove In eight mill another red flag wa* flying. Twenty psychological minutes of pro Wo u* lime were consumed there time that waa probably fatal to suc cca* of the desperate plot. While walling on laal two section*, Andrew* told the depot agent that he was a Confederate officer and had seized an engine at Hlg Hhunty and the cars were loaded with ammunition hurry ing to Corinth, Mississippi, He also persuaded the agent to give him a switch key and to telegraph the on coming train to Ist the ammunition special have the right of way. Beyond Kingston, the wires were aguin cut and crossties were dropped upon the track every few hundred yards While trying to break a rail In two they were startled by the scream of a locomotive. They then realized, to their dismay, that the pursuer* were hot on their trail, and that no longer could the thought of burning bridge* be harbored but the one hope that was left was lo save their lives. The Acrobatics of Railroading. When Fuller got to 'Kingston, he found an engine on the Y of the Rome branch with a car attached, with her nose turned towards Chattanooga. Not waiting for the train to pass, he took this engine and continued the pursuit. Four miles south of Adalrsvllle, the track was torn up for 60 yards. He abandoned his train and again set out nfoot and soon found that Anthony Murphy was now his sole companion. Fuller and Murphy sprinted up the railroad in good style for two miles, when they met the third section of the freight train, which they succeed ed, by frantic efforts, in waving down. They then backed the train to Adalrs ville and when within 200 yards of the switch, he ran ahead and changed It so as to throw the cars in the side track. He then turned the switch at the proper moment and Jumped on the engine, which was already uncou pled. Tills was done so quickly that the engine and cars ran parallel with each other for 300 yards. The engine that lie had swapped for was now running backwards and thus handicapped he made Calhoun, 10 miles distant. In 12 minutes. On the plat form was standing the Dalton tele graph operator. With the engine mak ing 15 miles an hour, he held out his hand and lifted him on the passing engine. The operator told Fuller he had come down to Calhoun looking for the break in the wire. As they sped along Ful ler wrote out a telegram which he hoped to send from Dalton to thasCon federate commander at Chattairooga, telling him what had happened and warning him against the raiders. The Raiders Sighted. Two miles beyond Calhoun Fuller came in sight of the raiders for the first time. When they found that he was steadily gaining on them they first dropped a car. then loosened a rail. But these did not set Fuller back a moment. His engine passed safely over the rati and he coupled up to the ear without stopping. Another car was dropped and again the feat was performed of coupling up on the fly. At Reracca, the two cars were put off on a running switch, which had been previously done at The Twins in Kensington Gardens “We Have Losted Our Way,” Cried Judy; “Oh, Punch, Let Me Go Home, I Am So Hungry—Punch Tried to * Appear Cheerful —“No Use Sitting Here Any Longer, Judy—We Will Soon Find the Way.” Punch and Jndy stood trembling on the verge of a real advanture. The twins were In Kensington Gardens with Jessie, who was sitting at the pond In lively conversation with an attendant. She had really done her best to entertain the children and had told them the story they liked best of all. the story of how beautifully she was dressed on the day she mar ried Jack and of her sorrow after wards, the first tlrnie he came home drunk and she left him to go to her another. And then at last the most exciting of It all, the last words of the story: "And since that day I have never seen or heard anything of him." When Jessie said this her eyes were always full of tears. Now they had heard the story again so when Jessie began to talk with the attendant tho twins decided to explore the garden alone As they- sneaked away they looked hack several times. Jessie was still chatting with the man. They climbed over the low Iron railing and the road was clear. They- walked until they wondered If there was any end to the garden. "Punch." said Judy, “It Is getting dark. I.et us go hack to Jessie." He whs glad Judy had proposed this first. He had wanted to go hack for quite a while. They turned around and walked a long while. There were very few people In the park now. Everybody had gone home for tea and when they realized how lonely they were they- threw themselves on a heap of leaves and began to cry, ."We have losted our way," cried Judy, "Oh Punch, let me go home, I am so hungry." Punch tried to appear cheerful. "No use silting here any longer Judy. Don't cry Judy, we will sejn find the way." They went on until they nearly stumbled over a man sleeping in the grass. "Now I know what V> do." cried Punch, "We will ask this man to take us home.

DORR Good Taste Apparel Adalrsvllle. Again Fuller was running with an engine only. Beyond Dalton, Fuller’s party came into full view of the raiders, who had begun to tear up the track despite the close proximity of a Confederate regi ment. At the first glimpse of Fuller they were off like the wind. For the fifteen miles south of Ringgold and three miles north, the engine* sped like flying demon*, the General in the lead and the Texas right behind, ten der first. Three miles beyond Ringgold, mat ters began to grow desperate with the raiders. Their wood and water was nearly exhausted and the boxes of the engine were nearly burned out for the lack of oil. Every- One for Himself. At last, Andrews set his one remain ing freight car on fire, expecting to drop It at the next bridge, which he hoped to burn. But Fuller waa equal to the emergency and coupled up to It and put the fire out. The raiders soon now abandoned the General and took to the bushes, dropping off ona by one and scattering. Before desert ing their engine they reversed her, ex pecting her to collide with the pursu ing- engine. But In their hurry and excitement, they left the brake on th« tender and the steam was too weak to overcome it. It so happened that there was a militia muster near the spot where tha raiders took to the woods and soon every one was taken. Andrews es caped but wa* retaken. Some of tha ring leaders were hung, bnt the ma jority were Imprisoned till the end of the war or else made good their es capes. ‘ The two old engines that figured so prominently in this affair are on exhibition, the General at Chattanooga and the Texas at Atlanta, and are vlew-ed as objects of great interest. It is related that when the Georgia Railroad was completed from Augusta to Madison, these two engines w-ere hauled through the country on trucks and set on the rails of the state's road. and really It is not good for him to sleep In the damp grass. Jessie al ways tells us that, you know." Judy put but her little hand and touched the man's forehead. He slept on and did not stir. / "I think we will do as we do to Papa, Sundays,” said. Judy. "We will sit down hard on his stomach.” They counted: "One, tw-o, three," and sat down on the man, who woke up with a start and stared at them." Punch hurried to explain. , "Will you please take us home. We have losted our way and we were so scared till we found you.” “Two nice children," the man thought. "Where do you live little ones?" The twins looked at each other. They did not know and began crying again. The bell rang to warn people that the gates were about to be closed. “We must get out of here." said the man. "Come along little ones. “He took their hands and walked towards the gate. It was almost dark now- and he could feel that their Uttle legs were tired, so he picked th&m up and carried them. The man at the gate locked sus pectingly at 7he ragged fellow carry, ing the two well-dressed children. •Something wrong about that," he thought Jus* then a nurse girl came rushing up. "My little darlings." she cried. Then »4ie looked up and stafed into the face of the iman. "Jack," she gasped and leaned against the gatepost, heajrily. "Jessie,” cried the man. “Have you forgiven me?" "You have found the children for me—Yes." “And they have found me for you,” he said. ATTENTION!
