# Representative women of New England/Matilda J. C. Wilkin

​MATILDA JANE CAMPBELL WILKIN, educator, is of English-Scotch parentage, and was born in Harrington, Me., where the early years of her childhood were passed. As a forecast of her scholarly career, she left home at the early age of eleven to obtain better school privileges at East Machias. First she attended the public schools and later the Washington County Academy, located in this charming little New England village. Entering the Normal School at Salem, Mass., in February, 1867, Miss Campbell was graduated on January 21, 1869. The following year she went to Minnesota. She taught three years in the grammar schools of Minneapolis, and then gave up teaching for a while to continue her studies at the University of Minnesota. She was graduated in the class of 77, of which she was valedictorian. In 1890 she took the degree of Master of Literature from her Alma Mater, and more recently she has spent some time at the University of Chicago, with a view to taking the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. She is a member of the honorary society of Phi Beta Kappa. In 1880 Miss Campbell attended the centennial of the Sunday-School in London, as a delegate from Minnesota, which State she very ably represented.
In 1882 she married the Rev. George F. Wilkin, of Warsaw, N.Y., later known as the author of "The Prophesying of Women" and "Control in Evolution."
Mrs. Wilkin has travelled extensively in Europe, having been abroad three times. She studied at the University College in London and at Gottingen, Germany. She was especially interested in linguistic studies, and spent much time in perfecting her knowledge of Latin, Anglo-Saxon, and German. For the past twenty-five years she has been connected ​with the University of Minnesota, first as an instructor and later as assistant professor. She was associate author of an Old-English grammar, which was used as a text-book at the University. More recently she has compiled a book of English-German idioms, which bids fair to be used in the high schools of the State.
Mrs. Wilkin is a member of the American Philological Association and the Association of Collegiate Alumna Her daily life is spent in college work, but she keeps up an active interest in religious and philanthropic matters. She has been a member of Olivet Baptist Church, of Mimieapolis, for more than a quarter of a century, and for fifteen years was teacher of the University Bible Class in this church. She is an active member of the W. C. T. U., a life member of the Woman's Baptist Foreign Missionary Society, and a member of the Young Women's Christian Association. She was president of the State Board of the Minnesota Y. W. C. A. for four years. Her wider experience in this position has enabled her to be an efficient helper of the local Y. W. C. A. at the University, in which she has been greatly interested from the first. A woman of fine character, pure life, and excellent judgment, Mrs. Wilkin is very widely known throughout the State and greatly respected and loved, both by the students who have been under her instruction and by her associates in college and in society.

# Root–Takahira Agreement/Japanese Ambassador to the Secretary of State

The Japanese Ambassador to the Secretary of State
Imperial Japanese Embassy
Washington, November 30, 1908
Sir:
The exchange of views between us, which has taken place at the several interviews which I have recently had the honor of holding with you, has shown that Japan and the United States holding important outlying insular possessions in the region of the Pacific Ocean, the Governments of the two countries are animated by a common aim, policy, and intention in that region.
Believing that a frank avowal of that aim, policy, and intention would not only tend to strengthen the relations of friendship and good neighborhood, which have immemorially existed between Japan and the United States, but would materially contribute to the preservation of the general peace, the Imperial Government have authorized me to present to you an outline of their understanding of that common aim, policy, and intention:
1. It is the wish of the two Governments to encourage the free and peaceful development of their commerce on the Pacific Ocean.
2. The policy of both Governments, uninfluenced by any aggressive tendencies, is directed to the maintenance of the existing status quo in the region above mentioned and to the defense of the principle of equal opportunity for commerce and industry in China.
3. They are accordingly firmly resolved reciprocally to respect the territorial possessions belonging to each other in said region.
4. They are also determined to preserve the common interest of all powers in China by supporting by all pacific means at their disposal the ​independence and integrity of China and the principle of equal opportunity for commerce and industry of all nations in that Empire.
5. Should any event occur threatening the status quo as above described or the principle of equal opportunity as above defined, it remains for the two Governments to communicate with each other in order to arrive at an understanding as to what measures they may consider it useful to take.
If the foregoing outline accords with the view of the Government of the United States, I shall be gratified to receive your confirmation.
I take this opportunity to renew to Your Excellency the assurance of my highest consideration.
K. Takahira
Honorable Elihu Root,
Secretary of State.
# Root–Takahira Agreement/Secretary of State to the Japanese Ambassador

The Secretary of State to the Japanese Ambassador
Department of State
Washington, November 30, 1908
Excellency:
I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your note of to-day setting forth the result of the exchange of views between us in our recent interviews defining the understanding of the two Governments in regard to their policy in the region of the Pacific Ocean.
It is a pleasure to inform you that this expression of mutual understanding is welcome to the Government of the United States as appropriate to the happy relations of the two countries and as the occasion for a concise mutual affirmation of that accordant policy respecting the Far East which the two Governments have so frequently declared in the past.
I am happy to be able to confirm to Your Excellency, on behalf of the United States, the declaration of the two Governments embodied in the following words:
[For text of declaration, see numbered paragraphs in Japanese note, above.]
Accept, Excellency, the renewed assurance of my highest consideration.
Elihu Root
His Excellency
Baron Kogoro Takahira,
Japanese Ambassador.

JUSTICE STEVENS, with whom JUSTICE GINSBURG joins, concurring.
Perhaps even more important than our specific holding today is our reaffirmation of the basic principle that informs the Court's interpretation of the Eighth Amendment. If the meaning of that Amendment had been frozen when it was originally drafted, it would impose no impediment to the execution of 7-year-old children today. See Stanford v. Kentucky, 492 U.S. 361, 368 (1989) (describing the common law at the time of the Amendment's adoption). The evolving standards of decency that have driven our construction of this critically important part of the Bill of Rights foreclose any such reading of the Amendment. In the best tradition of the common law, the pace of that evolution is a matter for continuing debate; but that our understanding of the Constitution does change from time to time has been settled since John Marshall breathed life into its text. If great lawyers of his day—Alexander Hamilton, for example—were sitting with us today, I would expect them to join Justice Kennedy's opinion for the Court. In all events, I do so without hesitation.

Rooker v. Fidelity Trust Co., 263 U.S. 413 (1923), was a case in which the United States Supreme Court enunciated a rule of civil procedure that would eventually become known as the Rooker-Feldman doctrine (also named for the later case of District of Columbia Court of Appeals v. Feldman, 460 U.S. 462 (1983). The doctrine holds that lower federal courts may not sit in direct review of state court decisions. Warning: template has been deprecated.

# Room Number 3, and Other Detective Stories

* information about this edition.

   I have always found the long stories of Anna Katharine Green rather ludicrous for their ponderous crudity of style. To my surprise, several of the shorter tales collected in "Room Number 3" are of incontestable merit, as pieces of writing. "Midnight in Beauchamp Row" and "The Little Steel Coils" are finely finished bits of work.

WILLIAM CHESELDEN BROWN, Esq. [Commander.]
Was shipwrecked in the Carron sloop. Captain John Furneaux, on the coast of Orissa, Bay of Bengal, July 6th, 1820; on which occasion two officers and about twenty men were drowned. The remainder of the officers and crew, after providentially gaining the shore, through a tremendous surf, had to traverse, in a scorching heat (the thermometer being near 120°), with no food, and scarcely any clothing, a thick jungle of 150 miles, to the nearest Hindoo village, whence they were forwarded, on camels, to the nearest Residency.
Mr. Brown obtained his first commission on the 9th Oct. 1827; was appointed flag-lieutenant to Sir John Gore, on the 26th Nov. 1831; and promoted into a death vacancy on the East India station, June 13th, 1832. The sloop which he was then appointed to command having previously sailed for England, he returned home passenger on board the Zebra 18, acting Commander Lord Frederick C. P. Beauclerk; arrived in the spring of 1833; and has since remained on half-pay.

WILLIAM BUCHANAN, Esq. [Post-Captain of 1809.]
Was made a Lieutenant in 1794, and served as second of the Leviathan, a third rate, bearing the broad pendant of Commodore Duckworth, at the capture of Minorca, Nov. 15, 1798. The following is an extract of that officer’s public letter to Earl St. Vincent, reporting the surrender of the island:
“There is high merit due to Lieutenant William Buchanan, whom I landed as second in command under Captain (James) Bowen, with more than 250 seamen: there were likewise the Leviathan’s and Centaur’s marines with the army, to the number of 100; but other essential service calling Captain Bowen on board his ship, the command of the seamen devolved on Lieutenant Buchanan, and, as will appear by the strongest accompanying testimony given him from the commander-in-chief of the troops, he performed the services with the army with the greatest ability and exertion.”
Copy of General Stuart’s testimonial.
“Sir,– I have the honor to return you, and the gentlemen employed on shore under your command, my sincere thanks for your activity, zeal, and assistance, in forwarding the light artillery of the army; neither can too much praise be given to the seamen for their friendly and cheerful exertions under very hard labour; – exertions that were accompanied with a propriety of behaviour which I greatly attribute to your management, and which will ever merit my acknowledgments; and affords me the satisfaction of assuring you that I am, with sincere regard, yours, &c.
(Signed)“Chas. Stuart.”
“To Lieutenant Buchanan.”
We have already mentioned, that the captors of Minorca found a brig of war on the stocks. This vessel was named the Port Mahon, and launched Oct. 31, 1799; on which occasion Lieutenant Buchanan was promoted, and appointed to command her. In 1800, he captured a French privateer of inconsiderable force, and several small merchantmen: he was also employed blockading Malta, previous to the surrender of that island.
In the following year, we find Captain Buchanan serving under the orders of Lord Keith, and receiving the Turkish medal for his services on the coast of Egypt. He returned home in the Port Mahon, July 26, 1802; and was appointed to the Sea Fencible service, between Dungeness and Sandgate, at the renewal of hostilities in 1803. His post commission bears date Oct. 12, 1809; at which period he commanded la Fleche of 16 guns, on the Channel station.

THOMAS BROWN, Esq. [Post-Captain of 1806.]
Post commission dated Jan. 22, 1806. This officer commanded the Loire frigate, and was very actively employed on the coast of North America during the late war between Great Britain and the United States. On the 10th Dec. 1813 he captured the Rolla privateer of 5 guns and 80 men. In 1816, he was appointed to superintend the ordinary at Sheerness; and he subsequently served as flag-Captain to Rear-Admiral Lambert, on the St. Helena station. His last appointment was, Oct. 16, 1822, to the Tartar of 42 guns, in which ship he sailed for South America, Feb. 5, 1823. Whilst there the celebrated Bolivar presented him with his portrait, as a mark of his regard and esteem, expressing, at the same time, through Colonel Peraz, his secretary, his regret, from being engaged in Alto-Peru, at not having a personal opportunity of taking leave of him previous to the Tartar’s departure from the Pacific. It should likewise be noticed, in proof of Captain Brown’s conciliatory and equitable conduct towards the contending parties, that the royalist General, Rodil (Bolivar’s greatest enemy), refused a request he made, to be permitted to purchase some ship’s stores at Callao, but generously added, that, as a mark of his esteem and friendship for him, he should take whatever his frigate required. The Tartar ​returned to Portsmouth, bringing specie to the amount of 820,000 dollars, Jan. 31, 1826; and was paid off at Woolwich on the last day of the following month.

Received his first commission at the close of the French revolutionary war, and was senior lieutenant of the Merlin sloop, Captain Edward Pelham Brenton, in several skirmishes with the enemy’s flotilla and land batteries, near Havre, after the renewal of hostilities, in 1803. We subsequently find him in the Bellerophon 74, Captain Samuel Warren, on the Baltic station, where he assisted at the capture of a Russian land battery, mounting 4 long 24-pounders, and garrisoned by 103 men, June 19, 1809. On the 7th of the following month, he behaved with distinguished bravery, in a successful attack made upon a valuable convoy, near Percola point, on the coast of Finland. His commission as commander bears date Nov. 27, 1810.
On the 4th Oct. 1813, Captain Sheridan was appointed to the Terror bomb, in which vessel he appears to have been engaged with the American batteries near Baltimore, during the advance of the British army, under Colonel Brook, Aug. 13, 1814.
