BLOOD WILL TELL

As an evidence of the Spartan.like
heroism sometimes exhibited by women
under adverse circumstances we make
proud mention of Miss Gemma Frankie's
career in this city. We first met her in
the Orc Fino Theater as 4 ballet-dancer.
At that time she was the ward of Omar
Kingsley, and had been brought up by
him as a circus girl. AS soon as she
became of age, she left the life TO which
she had been trained, and which she
had always abhorred, and taking up
her abode in Portland, worked her way
as printers apprentice, and gradually
aimed the entree to the first society.
Lately she received intelligence of her
parents, who reside in Florence, Italy,
and who "bound her outn to somebody,
when but little child, for n period of
fifteen years. We not are Informed as
to how Mr.. Kingsley afterwards obtained
control Of ner. For some time past she
has made her home in the family of Mr..
Heroy Of this city. Her parents having
learned Of her whereabouts, sent her
means TO convey her to the land of art,
song and sunshine; and last week, at
lehuel TO the steamer by a large con-
course OF friends, Miss Comma bade

llshed, you invited the lady in ques-
tion, Mrs. Addie L. Ballou), to speak
with you at the Opera House here in
Salem. Then you may judge of my sur
prise to find the article referred to in
that weeks issue. was certain there
was some mistake about the matter
until subsequent issues of your paper
made it too evident that the blows were
all intended. then asked Mrs. Ballou
if she did not intend to defend herself
from these attacks, when she replied:
81 cannot reach up to the angels who
have my character In sacred keeping, to
hand it down so low as to unveil its pur-
poses or motives to one who could ask
my aid in screening her own from the
shafts of ridieule, and then revile me for
the effort; have no time to lend from
humanity, to idle in picking up the
guantlet of warfare she seeks to force
upon me, even though it were not Grim
soned with the hearts blood Of my inno-
cent children, or of lone life, dedicated
to misfortune's victims. The most aban-
doned of my sex and your own have
need of sympathy more than rebuke.
Shall she have less ?p
And now, she who gave utterance to
those burning words, will, ere this
reaches you, be outward bound and on
the briny deep, seeking other fields Of
labor and Of toll, and it does seem to me
that in justice to her, to yourself and the
sacred cause of woman, that you should
lose no time in calling back those un-
kind, cruel words that blotted the fair
pages of your journal.
1t has been my privilege to have been
closely and intimately associated with
both parties referred to in those criti-
cisms, and am certain that pure mo-
tives promoted the actions of Addie L.
Ballou; and now shall the press, dedi-
Gated to the cause of tOOnan and "de-
voted to the interest of humanity" COM

cast to the four winds of heaven, vile

AFFLICTED.

Less than fortnight ago, our excel
lent friend, Elder Chandler Of Forest
Grove, was engaged in The Dalles in
preaching to the congregation of Elder
Fisher, recently deceased, when he was
suddenly seized with paralysis, and is,
at this writing, helpless and specifies.
Mr.. Hill Of the OrcgOnion being tele-
graphed, went 10 his assistance on the
next morning boat, and on Thursday of
last week removed the afflicted minis
ter to this city. Elder Chandler is one
of the worlds workers, and his cause
can poorly afford to spare him. Yet it
isa consolation to know that he fell tgilli

be may yet recover, but if his bodily

HORRIBLE.

A most revolving criminal case is now
being discussed in the public prints.
wherein a fendish man and yet more
fiendish woman contrived to ruin q
young girl Of only fifteen years Of age,
who had been induced by the woman

Query: Is il right to spread such
soominable contagious broadcast on the
wings of the press, accompanied by all
the disgusting particulars ? Does not
the press by SO doing aggravate crime
JUST as an epidemic, like the smallpox.

COLLEGES FOR WOMEN.

The great discussion upon co-educa-
ton, brought about by the publication
of DIR. Clark's work early in the current
wear. has been of incalculable advantage
10 those who believe in equal opportuni-
ties for all in every avOcation of life.
Colleges are springing up in various
parts of our land with the avowed OBJ
ject of giving to woman the benefits of
higher education.
The advantages aecruing to women
from the establishment Of new colleges
for their especial benefit may not for a
time be as great as would accrue to them
were the doors of the older institutions
of learning in the country thrown open
inviting them to enter; yetit is recog-
milton of the claims and demands OF
women for higher education, aud as
such it is of great valne.
Smith College, recently founded at
Northampton, Massachusetts, has been
placed on level with the average col
leges for young men, and though yet
some distance behind Harvard in its
standard of admission, is yet in advance
of Vassar. From the circular recently
issued we extract the following concern
ing the general plan of the college:
"snith College was founded by Miss Sophia
smith, Of Hatfield, Mass, who in her last VIII
and Testament bequeathed n large sum OF
money for the purpose, defined the object and
general plan Of the Institution, appointed the
trustees. and fixed the location in Northamp-
ton, Mass.
"Thc object OF the Institution, as stated By
the founder, is The establishment and main
tenancc OF an institution for the higher educa-
ton Of young women, with the design 20 fur
nish them means and facilities for education
equal 10 those which are afforded in our col
legos TO young men,
''This design OF its founder, the trustees in
tend TO execute as literally as possible. They
will endeayor TO provide for young women a
culture fully equivalent TO that OF our best
New England colleges, and at the same time
more carefully adapted 10 wOman's physical
and mental constitution.
"To this end the college has already been
duly Incorporated and chartered by the State,
with full powers TO grant such honorary testi-
monials, and confer such honors, degrees and
diplomas as are granted or conferred by any
university, college or seminary in the United
States.
"The college Is not, however, intended to nt
woman for any particular sphere or professions
but 10 develop by the most carefully devised
means all her intellectual capacities, so that
she may be more perfect woman in any posi-
ton"
That which most visibly fixes the
standing of college is its standard OF
admission, and this college, as We before
said, while somewhat in advance OF
Vassar is yet year behind Harvard,
which is, however, now much beyond
any other American college. 1t COM

ANOTHER DRUNKEN WOMAN.

The daily press is again chronieleing
the spectaele-now seen almost daily-
OF woman drunk upon the sidewalk.
Oh, men and brethren, if you are the
protectors of women that you claim to
be- why do you foster and protect the
liquor traffic? Don't you see that even
women, whom you so often speak of as
oeing strong, because they are accak-
oh, 'otot logic !-are sometimes led into
drunkenness under the man-made con-
ditions that place whisky within their
reach? Prove yourselves protectors if
you are such, We pray you, and save all
women from sin.
The new Northwest. [volume] (Portland, Or.) 1871-1887, 1874-12-04
A TEMPEST IN A TEAPOT.

Our friend Colonel c. A. Reed seems
to have gone into a regular spell of Nc
Donald-phobia over the Ballou ques-
ton. We cheerfully give him the bene-
fit Of our columns in which to effervesce,
and hope he'll feel better now.
AS regards our other friend, Addie, in
her high tragedy, and his evident keer
appreciation of her endeavor to make s
martyr Of her dear little self, we hav,
only to say that martyrdom is splendid
for those that enjoy it, and that W.
never have asked Addie Ballou's aid, ol
that Of any body else ito shield as from
the shafts of anybody's ridicule." We've
always attended to that little job our.
self. We are amused at the gentleman'i
heroics over what Mcdonald In bi:
frenzy of deliriunl trenens has been
pleased to cause him tn construe into an
attack upon the character Of Mrs. Bal
lou. We know that our racy and
sprightly correspondent had no such
idea; and that she only meant, as she
expressed it, TO poke q little fun at the
Triple Thunierer, who was making HIM
self the laughing stock of everybody by
lis Ballou-ic rhapsodies."
We did say 10 several friends in
Salem, and hereby repeat, that if we
had been at home to read the proof of
" Yours Truly on Adde'S Benefit"
which has raised this miniature tenn
pest, we should have stricken out what
our correspondent said about her essay
having been ''copied principally from
Wilson's school-books." But we have
not objected to one other word in Yours
Truly's letters, and since there has been
a row about it, we do not longer object
to that.
We pity people whose characters"
are so easily spoiled, and if Addie is one
of them, We are sorry. five had known
it we never should have given her a
start in Oregon at all.
The NEW NORTHWEST emphatically
denies that it has, through its columns,
at any time or in any way, sought to
tarnish the reputation of any woman.
Inregard to Mr.. Reeds closing deelara-
tion concerning the lady's "hitherto un-
tarnished fame" we would respectfully
submit that it scarcely corresponds with
her declaration, made in the NEW
NORTHWEST prior to her alliance with
Mcdonald, that she had for series Of
years enjoyed the reputation of being
''the wickedest woman in the West"
Owing doubtless to our obtuseness, we
are unable to see just what is wanted
with the "heart's blood of her innocent
children" in this connection, but in ad-
justing a martyrs wreath, it is quite as
easy to put in few imaginary thorns,
as it is under certain conditions to sacri-
fee common sense to brilliant rhetoric;
so we suppose it is all right.
We tender our thanks to Mr.. Reed for
the interest he is pleased to express in
the NEW NORTHWEST, and confidently
expect continuance of the same in the
future.

1t is estimated that there are about
three months difference in the work re-
quired to enter Smith College and Bos-
ton University. The course of study at
Smith College extends through four
years; the first year covers Homer,
Herodotus, Livy, Horace, Algebra,
I Geometry, Botany, "Ante-classic His
tory" Physiology, and Lectures on the
Scriptures. In the second year there
are three distinct eourses-Classical,
Literary and Scientific, but all unite in
certain studies, namely, Greek, Demos
themes, Latin, CTaeitus), Classic His
tory, French, Mathematics, CTrigonome-
try and Comic Sections), Mineralogy,
Chemistry, Physics and Lectures on the
Scriptures. In the Junior year the
studies common to all the courses are
German, Physics, Chemistry, Astron-
omy, Logic and Rhetoric, Physiology,
MEDIEVAL History, and Scriptures. In
the Senior years only English studies
are common to all the courses. The
following statement is made relative to
religious culture: "The College is not
founded in the interest of any religious
denomination, and will be entirely uu-
denominational in its management and
instruction; students will be allowed to
attend any church their guardians may
designate, and no attempt will be made
to change denominatiOnal preferences;
there will be daily devotional exercises
inthe Social Hall, and the Bible will be
revercntly studied throughout the
course as the source of true religious
faith. Ample provision is made for
physical education, social arrangements,
ETC."
Thus it will be seen that while there
are DIR. Clarks in the land theoriZing
upon paper concerning the amount Of
of education that women can with safety
to the race be allowed TO take, there is
more than an effort in the labOrs and
bequests of those who imagine that a
woman's mind was made for purpose,
as well rs her body, and that judieious
and thorough cultivation Of the former
need not interfere with the exercise OF
the proper functions of the latter.

ACCOUNT
Of the Third Regular Meeting Of the
Yamhill County VI. S. a.
AOOOuNT

The Association met in the Court
House, at Lafayette, on the fourth Fri
day in November, at IL o'clock \. VI. q,
but there not being a quorum present,
adjourned until o'clock p. NJ, at which
time Mrs. Martin, President, presided
Minutes of the previous meeting were
read and approved, after which a short
speech was made by the President.
The Secretary moved that inasmuch
as some of our most prominent members
could not possibly be present on account
of sickness and other unavoidable
causes, and in consequence a great part
Of our programme would be necessarily
| left out, We had better transact all busi-
ness at this session and adjourn until
our next regular meeting on the third
Friday in February.
The motion being put to a vote was
carried.
Mrs. Watts, Mrs. Cooke, and
Miss Olds were selected delegates to the
o. S. w. S. A., to be held at Portland in
February.
Some excellent letters were read-one
from Mrs. Laughary, of Amity, another
from Hon. c. a. Reed, of Salem.
Application was made to furnish a
new clause in the Constitution providing
that each member pay an annual fee of
twenty-five cents, to pay for stationery
and other incidental expenses.
Laid on the table until next regular
meeting.
The following resolutions were Of
fered:
RESOLVED, That copy of the proceed
ings of this meeting be furnished the
Lafayette Courier, Yamhill Reporter,
and NEW NORTHWEST for publication.
Resolred, That vote of thanks be
rendered Mr.. Dale for the use of the
Court House.
Both resolutions adopted.
The Association adjourned until q
O'Clock, the previous motion having
been reconsidered on account of the ar
rival Of Mrs. Duniway and Mrs. CO.
burn.
EVENING SESSION.
The Association met pursuant to ad-
journment, Mrs. Martin presiding.
On motion, the reading of the minutes
was postponed until next regular meet
ing.
The President stated that Mrs. Duni-
way would be the speaker of the even
ing, and that we would have short
speeches from others who were willing
to discuss the Woman Question in
courteous manner. Mrs. Duniway then
took the floor, and made a speech in
which she told some rather uneomfoTta-
BILE truths concerning what a certain
Representative had said in the Legisla-
ture. That Representative being pres
ent, became somewhat excited and re-
piled in no very gentle terms. The
scene was rather stormy for a while, but
after short time the excitement was
quelied, and after an announcement by
Mrs. Duniway to speak the next even
ing at o'clock ON "Why do women
need the ballot ?' the Association ad-
journed to meet at Lafayette, on the
third Friday in February, at IL o'clock
A. NJ. A. NJ. MARTIN, President.
