Three Women


Dr. James Freeman Clarke expresses
the opinion THAT tie three greatest now
eii-ts of our time are women-tfeoree
Eliot in England, Harriet Beecher
stowe iu America, ANA George Sand in
France. Each he says, "may De eX-
ceiled iu some respects hy other writers;
they have less humnr than Dickens; DO
not narrate as vividiy as Scott; are less
picturesque than one writer; have less
power oi tragedy than another. But in
that supreme force of genius which peu-
etrates and imnre--es the s0ui, they are
uusurpas Mrs. Stoves Uncle Tom
was "a genuine inspiration, not a work
OF calculation or viii, but sent down
w hen most needed. Il came in the
darkest days Of anti-slavery struggle
when Herod had Joined with PLATE,
Wings with Democrats-to put down all
slavery discussion. The book appeared,
and all mankind began 70 DISCUSS
slavery. One hundred Thousand copies
were sold here in eight weeks, million
iu England in a year"
"Some of George sands early books
are not to be recommended. but her
later ones are not only uuubiectiouable,
but give us a nobier type Of Womaubood
than can be found since Shakespeare.

purity, conscience and tenderness. They
devote themselves 20 loWl Is duties with
a selfsacriiice which claims no merit
aud pretends to no superiority. The
soul is that Of an angel the life one OF
humble duty. Her plots are very sim
pile, her characters few, aud an artistic
unity keeps all parts from excess.
"Ihe power Of George Eliot over her
readers appears, from the way in which
her characters are discussed, as if they
were real men and women. How far
Dorothea was right or wrong in her
marriage whether Gwendoliu did not
deserve a better fate; whether Derouda
is not, perhaps, little iiabecile, or ff,
indeed, he is not rather a Christian
hero; whether the Jewess is only
chiid's doll, or whether she is the
essence Of all heavenly beauiy-such
are the questions which shake society
90 its foundation on the appearance OF
each Of these novels. Yet / think 10
must be admitted that her books, i'm
stead Of improving. like George Sands,
degenerate. They become more empty
of conviction, purpose, hope"

Tears no longer came 20 relieve her.
Deadly despair was crushing her. aud
she lonced to lie down hy her mothers
grave and end life's painful journey.
Just then a tioy litile bird fitted down
from tree aud bopped cheerfully
about near her as IL expecting food. Il
turned its head sancily 20 one side, aud
neered up into Der face with is shining,
tvlukfiug dots of eyes and acted as il
determined 20 win her attention, il she
had nothing else To give. Presently She
spoke 10 10 softly, aud then, as IL salts
fled with what it had done, ittwittered
fouh a Joyous, merry little song that
sounded strangely iu the storm, and flew
sack 20 lis tree, fron whence it soon
dsried away, and she saw it no more.
The evil spell was broken. Blessed
words came into her mind and fsiih re-
turned TO her heart-"Are ye not Of
more value than many sparrows?" Out
Of the depths Of despair her spirit rose 90
communion with SIS Maker, aud she felt,
as She had never done before, that her
loved ones were not here in this gloomy
abode Of death, but were FAR ia the glori-
Gus land Of life and love and beauty,

sorrow nor parting. She turned away

would yet be well, a new sense of the

Journalism for Women.

Of late years Journalism has offered q
new field for educated women, and to-
day, Zoo America, there are a few who
make money aud whose names are
known 20 every one. But, alas ! we
see and hear OF those who win; the
many who fail do 50 with no one TO tell
OF their struggles. People are apt %
fancy writing for the press easy work
which any woman with tolerable ilueucv
and most women are huent-can do.
Iu point Of fact, no profession needs more
training. \ man who sets up as cab
met maker, knowing only how to han
die plane; a woman who essays shoe
making, expecting success because she
can sew a straight seam, is as wise as
she who hopes 20 make herself a name
and fame among writers on the strength
of her ability to write a readable private
letter And jourualism-steady, faith
ful work which il ready with its arti-
Gle 10 order on any subject, is the only
literary work which may always be
depended on for daily bread aud butter,
let alone the cakes and sweetmeats So
dear 10 the feminine tooth. "rhere is
always plenty Of room az the top,n but
genius is the blossOming Of an aloe-the
fruit Of a century. Talent, applied 20
pluck and perseverance, is sure to win
iu the long run; but Il must be, ia most
cases, by hand-to-hand fight with de-
feat-a close contest with the struggling
crowd az the bottom. In general litera-
ture, even when there has been real
talent 10 back the aspiraut, and where
success has come at last, 10 has often
come after many failures, and the pecu-
mary reward is often pitifuliy small. a
distinguished writer is reported 20 have
once said, jocularly, that his books aver
aged him 81 > q year apiece, and even
tie great BOvelists Of the century have
not made fortunes. The woman who
can gain n decent living by her pen
may count herself successful.

has it dat he owns one-third of the

bad blood between Eeone and Vanderbilt,
William II. having got the best Of the Cal

since. 1t seems Vanderbilt informed him
that he would pay a three per cent. divi-
dend upon the stock, and then declared
only one pei cent, causing him, by this, to
lose quite largely, and so Keene has de-
clare3 war and hopes 10 control the Erie

chased the elegant Mathews residence.

A Matter of Importance TO Proper
~ Owners On Bmel and Spring

A Matter Of Importance Il Proper
~ Owners ON BmeI and Spring
Streets.
The Board met yesterday afternoon, and
its first act was to donate $50 FOR the bene-
fit Of four INDECENT children.
Rudolph L~euzinger's bill for s10.5O, was
allowed, as was also Matt Kyle's bill for
1928, for pay Of Deputy sherif's appointed
during the fire.
The Board gave notice that il would
order that hereafter no awnings or porches
should be erected on the Sidewalks, on
either Buel or Spring streets. Before the
fire the sidewalks on these two streets
were taken up by porches, etc., and pcdes-
trians were oblijed to walk in the streets.
This the board intends to remedy, and
hereafter, all awnings on porches must be
built ON the ground of the property
owners.
A communication from General Sabin
was read, stating that Mr.. Bartlett had
offered TO rent the basement under Odd
Fellows Hall, to the two military COM
panies, to be used as an armory, for the
sum of $50 each. Without taking action
on the proposition, the Board adjourned
until 7 O'Clock P. ~, the time agreed upon
in which to meet the firemen for consulta-
tation upon FIRE matters.
They met again at 7 o'clock last evening,
but concluded to postpone action on fire
matters until Tomorrow evening, ut the
same hour. when the Presidents and Fore
men of the different companies are invited
to be present.
