In the conclusion Of my iast ] touched
upon tie love question-tbe criminal side
side Of II, and referred to one of the per
formers III that phase Of the tender passion
as hailing from your city. True, she Eas
created quite a sensation in emotional CIR
gles in advocating her peculiar vlews-
free love-" but, unlike the rest referred ~,
has NOT, 40 far as my information extends,
practced what she has lectnred on ILi8
lady In question, Mrs. Frances Rose nc
Kinley. is really beautiful and gifted with
extraordinary intelligence and rare con
yersational powers, and is very much lady
in demeanor Notwithstanding her peculiarly
false IDEAS Of love and Indifference TO the
ordinances Of man regarding the marital
bonds. Strange TO say, her lectures were
failures, SO far as drawing audiences we're
concerned.
In this city, where we have 80 much Of
that kind Of Iovo-and many have 4onnd to
their sorrow and CO.'S tLat It was aos SO
free-eveYy participator therein wishes 70
be the promulgatOr Of their own ideas con
corning the matter, and do not wi i'll advice
in tie premises from noyiees, and while we
wink at its existence or taGitly admit 1t
among ourselves, we fr0wn it down in pub
liz and huri anathemas at the waterfall of
her. WHO dareA advocate GGch immoral ideas
in our virtuous city. Like the French, we
must be told OF our faults by our own peo-
ple then We know they are terminating
themselycRJ, brt we can't brook il from
strangers more especially when they hail
from the Sunny South, az the local press Of
this city c0ntemptuously pat it 10 their Vi
Imperative and oowardly abuse Of the
guadroon. Instead Of renting hen IDEAS ed
ranced with better argument, her personal
character Is assailed, and laboTed attempt
is made to prove that she il gusdToon, in
such manner az to Indicate that the latter,
if true, is crime greater than that OF
tree-lever. Argument would he worse than
futile to those who are go OigoteG as to re-
gard cslor as a crime and think that supe-
ripritv. is based on anything but intelligence
and honesty. Her lectures being financial
failures, she soon got Into trouble, rs every
one is likely to when their money gives out,
more 80 here than anywhere 4 Benedict
stoTekeeper became impressed with her
views, or person, 1t is iumatel1al which,
aud sold her, or presented, as she claims,
many yards Of heavy elk, with which she
had several elaborate dresses made after
the most approved fashion. Experiencing

there was q difference between the ideal
and real love or anticipation and reaiza-
ton, he presented bill Toy The goods

No doubt tho wayward inclined Benedict
loved the amiable Rose because She was
stranger in a strange land, and for the
beautiful ideas sAe advanced; and she
