GIRLS FAIL TO
LEARN FARMING
Experimental School Closed by
Mrs. 0 . H. P. Belmont
When Servants Are Discharged and
Girls Made to Do Housework.
They Lose Interest.
New York—The experimental farm
and agricultural school for young
women, established as a suffragist
institution by Mrs. O. H. P. Belmont
and maintained by her, is a failure.
The young women who forsook draw
ing-rooms to uplift agricuture have
come back to town and the farm at
Hempstead, L. I., will cease to be
either a school for rustically-inclined
girls or a branch of the suffrage move
ment.
From what has been said by the
young women who peeled off their
farm duds, put on their fall frocks and
came to the city this week, the ex
pense o f maintaining the experiment
station palled upon Mrs. Belmont.
The staff of teachers and servants was
cut down and the students, many of
whom come from wealthy families,
were compelled to scrub the floors and
milk the ;cows.
These tasks palled
upon the students. .They were glad
when Mrs. M. A. Morgan, the society
leader's confidential clerk, told the
students o f Mrs. ¡Belmont’s determin
ation to close the school.1
The first to leave under the order
was Miss Leonora Brokaw, known as
the prize pupil o f the school and spe
cial favorite of Mrs. Belmont.
Miss Brokaw said she was amazed a
few days ago, when informed of the
society leader's intention to close the
school.
“ I consider ’my summer wasted,”
said Miss Brokaw. “ I went into this
thing seriously. The scores o f girls
who were enrolled at different times
in Mrs. Belmont’ s school signed a con
tract stating they would abide by the
rules o f the farm, and in this contract
Mrs. Belmont promised to teach them
all branches o f farming, including a
course in cooking.
" I never did housework in my life ,”
said pretty Miss Brokaw, cousin of
Gould Brokaw, and member of the
well-known and wealthy family of
Bernardsville, N. J. “ Imagine my as
tonishment, ” remarked Miss Brokaw,
when, a few weeks ago, after a use
less summer, Mrs. Belmont discharged
all the help at the farmhouse and com
pelled us girls to do the housework.
Why, just look at my hands! I scrub
bed and oiled floors and washed
dishes; just fancy!
The school’s failure,” said Miss
Brokaw, was due to lack o f manage
ment. Mrs. Laura Williams, the su
perintendent o f the school, left about
six weeks ago. Since then we have
had no head; we just drifted for our
selves.”

Havana—The Maine was destroyed
by an external explosion.
There no
longer remains any doubt as to the
manner in which the United States
battleship was sunk in this harbor on
the night of February 15, 1898.
The cofferdam about the wreck has
been pumped out and the mud cleared
away to a greater extent than ever
before. The clearing away o f wreck
age reveals the double bottom o f the
ship with part o f the keel standing in
a perpendicular position 28 feet higher
than the natural position.
This perfectly confirms the report
and testimony which Ensign Powel-
son gave before an investigating board
after the disaster and which was based
upon reports made to him by divers
just after the explosion.
It is indicated by engineers here
that such a tearing o f the ship’s bot
tom could not have been produced by
an interior explosion. It is further
said that no regulation military mine
could have wrought such terrific
havoc. It must have been a huge
mine, as Captain Sigsbee and others
suggested at the time; perhaps a sug
ar mill boiler or large cask loaded
with explosives.

rather stammered than answered:
“ Such a message as that, I am sure I
should mangle and mar It;
If you would have It well done—I am
only repeating your maxim—
You must do It yourself, you must not
leave It to others!"
But with the air of a man whom noth

Gravely shaking his head, made an

"Truly the maxim Is good, and I do
not mean to gainsay It;
But we must use It discreetly, and not
waste powder for nothing.
Now, as I said before, I was never a

I can march up to a fortress and sum

But march up to a woman with such a

Holding It long In hts own, and press

“Though I have spoken thus lightly,
yet deep Is the feeling that
prompts me;
Surely you can not refuse what I ask
In the name of our friendship!"
Then made answer John Alden: "Thw

What you demand In that name, I

So the strong will prevailed, sub

Friendship prevailed over love, and
