# Woman of the Century/Mila Frances Tupper

​TUPPER, Miss Mila Frances, Unitarian minister, born on a farm near Brighton. Iowa. 26th January, 1864. Her mother was Mrs. Ellen Tupper, famous as the bee-culturist of Iowa. Miss Tuppers childhood was unusually free. She was very fond of outdoor sports, which have left their mark in her physical strength. She was particularly thoughtful as a child and studious, without much school discipline or incentive. MILA FRANCES TUPPER. During her years of residence in Des Moines, Iowa, she had the advantage of a public school, but when she was twelve years old. the family removed to the wild prairies of Dakota. There she found plenty of time and opportunity for continued physical culture, riding a great deal, chiefly to and from the post-office, which was three miles from her home. She had much time for reading, but, excepting two terms in a winter school taught by an older sister, there was no opportunity for mental culture outside of her ​home. In that home, where both parents were of intellectual tastes, there was less need of outside influences for culture. Evidence of that fact is shown in the mental life of all the daughters, who have become well known in their chosen professions. After three years spent in teaching in Sioux Falls, at the age of twenty-one, she entered the Whitewater Normal School, and had one year in preparation for college. She won a scholarship in mathematics on her entrance to Cornell University, where she was graduated in 1889. She at once entered the Unitarian ministry. Her first charge was in La Porte, Ind., where she remained one-and-a-half years. She was called from that place to minister to a fast-growing society in Grand Rapids, Mich., in which place she is now working successfully. The bent of her mind was always towards theological subjects. She united with the Baptist Church when she was nine years of age, but gradually drew away from that, until she took her place with the Unitarians. Her main characteristics are candor, generosity, conscientiousness, and notably the power of adapting herself to the minds of all ages and modes of thought. She has the happy faculty of meeting the young, the old and middle-aged on their own ground. Her discourses fulfill the promise of her early thoughtfulness, in their clear, logical and simple, yet forceful, presentation of the subject in hand, and her quiet dignity of manner gives added strength to the words that fall from her lips.
# Woman of the Century/Mildred Rutherford

​RUTHERFORD. Miss Mildred, author and educator, born in Athens, Ga.. 16th July, 1852. She is the third daughter of Williams Rutherford, professor of mathematics in the University of Georgia, and Laura Cobb, the sister of Gens. Howell and Thomas R. R. Cobb. MILDRED RUTHERFORD. She was educated in the Lucy Cobb Institute, Athens, Ga., graduating when sixteen years of age. She was made principal of the school in 1881 and still holds that position. During her experience she has sent forth one-hundred-thirty-seven of her pupils as teachers. After teaching English literature for ten years, she determined to prepare her lectures to be used by other teachers and pupils. The result was "English Authors" (Atlanta, Ga., 1889). In three months the third edition was called for, and the reception of that book induced the author to prepare a series of text-books, " American Authors," "French and German Authors" and "Classic Authors," for the use of her pupils in Lucy Cobb Institute and pupils elsewhere. So impressed was she with the importance of having the Bible taught in the public schools, that she prepared, in 1890, the questions on Bible history, which she had been using for many years in her school, in such form that it could be used by the common schools without offending any religious faith, "Bible Questions on Old Testament History" (Atlanta, 1890).
# Woman of the Century/Mercedes Leigh Hearne

​MERCEDES LEIGH HEARNE. HEARNE, Miss Mercedes Leigh, actor, was born in Atlanta, Ga., 20th March, 1867. She is widely known by her stage name, Mercedes Leigh, which she chose when she began her professional career. Miss Leigh was born into the changed conditions that followed the Civil War in the South, and her early life was full of the echoes of the great struggle. She was educated in a private school in Philadelphia, Pa. At an early age she developed marked dramatic talent, which was carefully cultivated. Her histrionic powers and her emotional nature fitted her for stage work. She went to England, and while there achieved a brilliant success in London drawing-rooms as a dramatic reader. The critics abroad gave her high rank, and at home she has repeated Tier successes on an even greater scale. Besides her dramatic talents, Miss Leigh is the possessor of poetic talent of a fine order. Her work in verse bears every mark of culture. Her home is now in New York.
# Woman of the Century/Mildred A. Bonham

​MILDRED A. BONHAM. BONHAM, Mrs. Mildred A., traveler and journalist, born in Magnolia. III., in August, 1840. She is of southern blood from Virginia, South Carolina and Tennessee ancestry. Her parents removed to Oregon in 1847, settling in the Willamette valley. In 1858 she became the wife of Judge B. F. Bonham, of Salem, Ore. In 1885 Judge Bonham was appointed Consul-General to British India, and removed his family to Calcutta the same year. Mrs Bonham had always a liking for literary work, but the cares of a large family and social duties gave her scant leisure, and it was not until her residence abroad the opportunity came. During five years her letters over the name "Mizpah" attracted much attention and were widely copied by the Oregon and California press. Mrs. Bonham has a gift of observing closely, and her descriptions of foreign scenes make a valuable addition to our knowledge of Anglo-Indian life and customs. Her letters from the Himalayas, the island of Ceylon and other notable places are the best. Her deepest sympathy was aroused by the miserable condition and soul-starvation of the women of India, and she set about relieving, so far as lay in her power, their cheerless lot. By her personal appeal a Hindoo girl was educated by a number of young ladies of Salem. The child became a home missionary. Through Mrs. Bonham's further efforts a fund of one-thousand dollars was raised to found a perpetual scholarship. ​Since her return to the United States she has given several lectures embodying her experiences in the far East, life among the Zenanas, and kindred subjects.
# Woman of the Century/Minerva Brace Norton

​NORTON, Mrs. Minerva Brace, educator and author, born in Rochester, N. Y., 7th January, 1837. Her father, Harvey Brace, moved to Michigan and, when she was nine years old, to Janesville, Wis., where her youth was spent. Her education was received in the schools of Janesville, and under Miss Mary Mortimer, in Milwaukee College, and in Baraboo Seminary, where she was graduated in 1861. She spent the years of her early womanhood as a teacher in the schools where she had studied, her favorite lines of study and work being metaphysics, mathematics and history. She was assistant editor of the "Little Corporal" in Chicago, in 1866, and has since done considerable editorial work. She became the wife of Rev. Smith Norton, 18th April, 1867, and she has devoted most of the years of her married life to domestic and parish duties, varied by teaching, from 1871 to 1874, in the College for Women, Evanston, Ill., and as principal of the ladies' department of Ripon College, from 1874 to 1876. She traveled from 1886 to 1888 over England, Scotland, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Russia, Germany, France, Austria, Switzerland and Italy. In 1890 she was again abroad, traveling with her husband in England, France, Belgium and Holland. She has always done much missionary work in her own country. She was a secretary of the Woman's Board of Missions, Boston, Mass., in 1876 and 1877, and has since spent three years with her husband in home missionary work in Dakota. She has used her pen much in benevolent work and has published many articles on various topics during the last quarter century in periodicals, including the "Independent," "Christian Union," New York "Observer," New York "Evangelist," "Congregationalist," "Advance," "Sunday-School Times," "Journal of Education," "Education" and "Wide Awake." Her home is now in Beloit, Wis. She comes of Revolutionary and New England stock, the Braces, of Connecticut, and the Thompsons, of New Hampshire and Vermont. She is the author of "In and Around Berlin" (Chicago, 1889), and, jointly with her husband, of "Service in the King's Guards" (Boston, 1891). She now has a "Memoir of Miss Mary Mortimer" ready for the press.
# Woman of the Century/Mildred E. Nowell

​NOWELL, Mrs. Mildred E., author and journalist, born in Spartanburg, S. C., 15th February, 1849. Her great-grandmother was a sister of Edward Fielding Lewis, who was married to Bettie MILDRED E. NOWELL. Washington, the sister of George Washington. Her husband's family claim far greater prestige of antiquity and high position. She has the family record dating from 1727 in the old family Bible, ​and family portraits in oil of an earlier date. She has spent much time in travel in the United States and Canada, and in the study of French, German and music. Reared in affluence and with a reasonable expectation that her inheritance would be ample for life, she, from childhood, loved literature for its own sake, unconsciously paving her way to more practical results in the future. After several years of married life, finding herself confronted by trials and reverses of fortune, thrown upon her own resources for the support of herself and two invalid children, she was forced to lay aside for a time her congenial literary pursuits and have recourse to other accomplishments that would bring speedier returns. She taught large classes in French, her pupils very creditably performing French plays in public. During many years she has successfully taught music, her pupils having numbered thirty-five at one time. They have rendered operettas and cantatas before large audiences. She has always devoted every possible moment to the loving care and companionship of her children, who are so delicate that most of her nights for ten years have been vigils over their sufferings. In all that hard, lonely fight with adversity, her faith and courage have never wavered. The vocation for which she was intended by nature and by culture is literature. Her love for her favorite calling has remained unabated during the years in which she has had so little time to spare for it, contributing in a somewhat desultory way to periodicals and magazines under assumed names.
# Woman of the Century/Millie Jane Chapman

​CHAPMAN, Miss Millie Jane, doctor of medicine, born in Beaver, Crawford county, Pa., MILLIE JANE CHAPMAN. 23rd July, 1845. She is the daughter of Lewis K. and Robey Ormsbee Chapman. She had a happy early childhood, but reverses came to the family, ​and at the age of ten years she was not bound down by any weight or handicapped by wealth which might have prevented the development of the resources within herself. From that age she was self-supporting. The industrious spirit, perseverance, strong judgment, sympathy and kindness possessed by both parents were transmitted to her. Her education was obtained in the public schools and in the State Normal, supplemented by studies at night. She taught school twelve years and was recognized as an efficient instructor. Beginning when "boarding round" was the custom and five dollars per month was the salary, she gradually advanced to schools where higher attainments insured greater compensation. She studied medicine in the Homeopathic College of Cleveland, Ohio. She was graduated in February. 1874 and located at once in Pittsburgh, Pa , where she still resides. She found it a conservative city, unaccustomed to woman doctors and not realizing a demand for them. It required a great struggle to become established. The pioneer efforts and all influence connected therewith were borne as a necessary ordeal to one entering upon an unusual work. She labored with a firm determination to maintain true professional dignity and general courtesy to all deserving associates, cognizant of the fact that hard study and patient perseverance would be necessary to reach the goal. Her true womanly character in the profession has been endorsed by many exalted positions in local, district, State and national medical organizations. Her faith in God and in the brotherhood of mankind has induced her to make extensive efforts for humanity, for the relief of their physical distress and for their education and reformation.

CHAPTER XXI.
MRS. ELLA V. CHASE WILLIAMS.
This very excellent lady, who stands high among the females engaged in the work of education, was born in the city of Washington, D. C. Her father, William H. Chase, who was a blacksmith by trade, moved among the leading citizens of the District of Columbia during his day, and died in 1863, leaving a wife and six children. Her mother (whose maiden name was Miss Lucinda Seaton) was an immediate descendant of a very respectable family, of Alexandria, Va. She was a woman of strong will, energy and perseverance, as is evidenced by the career of her daughter, Mrs. E. V. C. Williams, of whom we are now writing, who was educated at the famous Howard University. In 1879 she began her much loved work as a teacher, for which she is so well ​fitted, and into which she puts so much energy. From the beginning of her chosen work in 1879 up to December 1, 1882, she taught in the public scools of Washington, D. C. , and was considered one of the best teachers then employed in the city. She resigned and was married to Rev. K. W. Williams, a Presbyterian minister, who was also educated at Howard University. This was quite an occasion, and was witnessed by a large number of people at the Fifteenth Street Presbyterian Church, Rev. F. J. Grimkee, D. D. , officiating.
In 1883 a parochial school, in connection with the church held in charge by her husband, was organized, which has steadily grown until now it exists under the name of Ferguson Academy. It is located at Abbeville, S. C., and is a co-educational institution for boarding and day pupils, and is presided over by Rev. B. W. Williams as president, and Mrs. Williams as principal.
SCOTIA SEMINARY.
​to the same body at its meeting in Minneapolis, Minn., in 1886, and also represented them at the Centennial Assembly, which met in Philadelphia, Pa., in 1888. Her stay of nine years at Abbeville, S. C. , her present location, has been entirely devoted to the work of education. The school which she so much loves and which has been under her fostering care from its incipiency is yet growing and has become a flourishing little enterprise to her, and is doing a noble part of the work along this line. Long may this faithful servant of Christ live to do even greater work in His cause to lift up an humble people!

CHAPTER XX.
LOUISA DeMORTIE.
Down on the lower part of the James, in the proud little city of Norfolk, Va. , was born in 1833, of free parents, Eouisa DeMortie. She, like the children of other free parents, was denied the advantages of education. She found her way to Boston, Mass., in 1853. Here she seized every opportunity for gaining instruction. It is said that she was a girl of much beauty and sweetness of manner and appearance. She was a remarkable winner of friends wherever she went; high-toned but not arrogant. In 1862 she became a center of attraction as a public reader, a natural and refined elocutionist. To her acquired ability she added her natural wit and most attractive manner, which placed her high in her chosen sphere. About the time she came very prominently into public favor she heard of the needs and cries of colored children in the city of New Orleans. With a brave and sympathetic heart full of desire to help them, and like a disciple of Jesus Christ, she started for the spot. It seemed to be her chief object to do good and serve Him whom she loved because He first loved her. There she labored in the interest of the orphans with a zeal of earnestness and devotion that gained the admiration of all who knew of her work.
In 1867 she had raised sufficient money to be ready to build for them a comfortable home, where she hoped to especially care for these and other unfortunate little ones. ​Before she could consummate her plans that much dreaded monster, yellow fever, came upon her like a raging tyrant whose grasp she could not break, and to whom she fell a victim October lo, 1867, with the following words that passed her dying lips: "I belong to God, our Father."
A tender plant, a mighty and sainted worker, like a flourishing flower, cut down in the days of a useful and glorious work, yet a conqueror, because she still lives to inspire many to follow her example.

CHAPTER XXII.
SCOTIA SEMINARY.
(CONCORD, N. C.).
This school is under the control of the Board for Freedmen of Northern Presbyterian Church. It is the outgrowth of a parochial school established by Rev. Luke Borland and his wife, in 1865 or 1866, who deserve great credit for the zeal and perseverance with which they clung to their work through trying times. In 1870 the school was incorporated by the State as a seminary' under its present name, having that year twelve boarding pupils in a little plank house 16x24 feet. In 1876 it sent out its first graduating class of nine members. ​During the same year the first brick building was erected. At present the accommodations consist of "Scotia" and "Faith Hall," both four-story brick buildings, containing chapel, class-rooms, dormitories for teachers and about 275 students (these buildings are heated with steam and are lighted by electricity). Music Hall for the department of music, and the church building used by the students and the congregation.
The property is valued at $60,000. Scotia is exclusively for girls and aims to combine, in the most effective way, industry with the culture of the mind and heart. It does not admit students of the lowest grades. Its work is in the two departments: (1) Grammar, (2) Normal and Scientific. From the beginning something like 2,500 persons have been enrolled, and about 300 have graduated from one or both courses of study. The number enrolled during the last year was 261, of whom 253 were boarders from ten different States. Rev. Dr. Dorland and wife remained in charge until the fall of 1886, when, on account of advancing years, they were relieved, having made their indelible impress upon the Church and the colored people.
Rev. Dr. D. J. Satterfield and wife took up the work where their predecessors had left off. The present faculty is composed of the president and principal (Dr. D. J. Satterfield and wife), with eleven lady teachers and two assistants.
While seeking to develop a high type of womanhood in its students Scotia has two special lines of work; (i). The training of teachers for our own schools. For ​this some technical instruction is given, but the main point of concentration is the preparatory and grammar departments, where the drill is made as thorough as possible. (2). Still more stress is laid upon the training of home-makers. The entire industrial system has this end in view—to prepare the student to be an ideal housekeeper; while the students also associate with the teachers, who are of high culture and refinement and piety, with the view to add to their culture of heart, without which the best housekeeper can never make an ideal home. It is in this way the friends of Scotia account for the fact that their graduates have not become conspicuous social leaders or in public life. As queens of the home many of them have done well. Many of the graduates of Scotia are the faithful wives of noted presidents and professors in many of our best colleges and universities.

CHAPTER LVI
NEAR THE COAST OF SOUTH AMERICA
January 27 continued.—A change came over me as if by miracle. No longer had I any wish to die, and already Curtis, who had heard my cries, was throwing me a rope. I seized it eagerly, and was hauled up on to the raft.
"Fresh water!" were the first words I uttered.
"Fresh water?" cried Curtis; "why then, my friends, we are not far from land!"
It was not too late: the blow had not been struck, and so the victim had not yet fallen. Curtis and Andre (who had regained his liberty) had fought with the cannibals, and it was just as they were yielding to over-powering numbers that my voice had made itself heard.
The struggle came to an end. As soon as the words "fresh water" had escaped my lips, I leaned over the side of the raft and swallowed the life-giving liquid in greedy draughts. Miss Herbey was the first to follow my example, but soon Curtis, Falsten, and all the rest were on their knees and drinking eagerly. The rough sailors seemed as if by a magic touch transformed back from ravenous beasts to human beings, and I saw several of them raise their hands to heaven in silent gratitude. Andre and his father were the last to drink.
"But where are we?" I asked at length.
"The land is there," said Curtis, pointing toward the west.
We all stared at the captain as though he were mocking us: no land was in sight, and the raft, just as ever, was the center of a watery waste. Yet our senses had not deceived us; the water we had been drinking was perfectly fresh.
"Yes," repeated the captain, "land is certainly there, not more than twenty miles to leeward."
"What land?" inquired the boatswain.
"South America," answered Curtis, "and near the Amazon; no other river has a current strong enough to freshen the ocean twenty miles from shore!"
