There are few highly civilized countries
where the legal position of women is so far
below the just requirements of modern life
as in France. The surviving joint-author of
"Adrienne Lecouvreur" NJ. LegOuve, has
made the subject one of special study, and a
Paris letter furnishes an abstract of his recent
1sc4ure upon the subject at the Sorbonne.

The pleasures of hope are beyond doubt,

When it 80 seldom happens that any official

streets are not of dazzling purity, it is posi-
lively exhilarating to discover any official of

CIenrInghouse Report.
HON. W. JASPER BLACKBURN.
His Idea OF a Republican Daily
in Little Rock.


Gazette 25Ih.l
The Honorable w. Jasper Black
burn, editor of the daily Republican,
which exists now only in back num-
bers. is not proud of the success
achieved by that short winded jour
nal. Probably Mr.. Blackburn was too
conscientious in his writing to please
the rabid men Of his party. Mr. Black
burn. as citizen ol tie State, proba-
bly, did not propose to seize club
and strike right and left, principally
left, for that gentleman's aim is to
strike right.
What do you think of running Q
daily Republican paper in Little
Rock?" asked Gazette man of Mr.
Blackburn, yesterday.
"It is like pouring soap suds in q
sink-hole, he said, with a. force that
the strongest bodied writer could moi
express. "a daily paper? Why it'i
like introducing shirt tailed boy in.
to society. | don't want any more
Two-thirds work and one thirds moth
ing. The work first and the nothing
afterwards. l shall continue to run
the Weekly Republican. That cant
die. 1t hasn't got life enough. But
| shall make it lively" he added
while wrinkles Of determination bega1
to play engagements in his honest
eyes.
Mr.. Blackburn made a success o.
his weekly paper, and with a new vol
ume placed in the library Of expert
ence. he can take up that success from
the altar Of confidence, where will
gentle hands he placed it, and agair
move forward.

Death Of am Old Lake Captain
Two Arrests for CrOOkedness.

DETROIT, October 26. - Captain
Robert Ballentine, one of the best
known vessel captains on the lakes,
died in this city this morning. He
had been in command of various YES
sells the last twenty years, but had
been in poor health for some time
past. His age was ffty.fve years.
He leaves an estimable family.
A young man named Frank Gran
dali was arrested, at Dundee, in this
State, and brought to this city yester-
day, charged with altering a draft on
New York bought at Fort Worth,
Texas, from $500 to $4,000. Crandall's
father keeps a store at Dundee, and
the young man had recently returned
from Texas very flush with money,
which he claimed to have obtained as
the result of fortunate speculation.
A we'll known crook named Minnie
Marx arrived ia this city last night
from New York, where she was ar
rested last week, charged with com
plicity in the skillful robbery of some
$4,000 of half signed bills from the
First National Bank of this city on
the 10th of June last. The authori-
ties think they have strong case
against him.

number Of delegates to the conven
tion will not be very large, the meeting
promises to be very important one,
and some decided steps will be taken.
The great object of the meeting will be
to devise plans and take steps toward
establishing societies in all the States,
and to push the cause with energy.
The organization is now a very strong
one, and societies have been estab-
lished in seventeen different States,
principally in those north Of the line,
and a large number of local assoeia-
tons have been formed, numbering in
all about one hundred associations.
Some Of the delegates who have al
ready arrived are distinguished advo-

Capitol Notes.

Nashville World, ISL
A gentleman connected with one Of
the State departments informed a
World reporter, yesterday, Of the
means resorted to by the coal oil
monopolists of Pennsylvania to pre-
vent the development of the oil re-
gions of Tennessee. When oil is
discovered in any locality in this
State, they send an agent here, who
obtaizs from the owners of the land
upon which the oil prospect is located
a lease, agreeing to pay him one-sixth
of the proceeds of the yield after they
developed it. They never work the
oil wells at all, thus debarring 9TH
ers from developing them, and shield
ing their own business from compe-
tition. Tennesseans who own land
that promises a yield of petroleum
should be careful what kind Of con-
tracts they sign with Northern capi-
tallsts.
The superintendent Of public in
struction has received number Of in.
vitations from several towns in West
Tennessee to hold the teachers insti.

New York Stoek NTarket.

New YORK, October 26, II am
The stock marketoponed fairly steady,
the only important change in prices
from yesterdays closing quotations
being a decline of II in the Manhat
tan Elevated. In the early dealings
speculation was weak, and a decline of
! to per cent was recorded; but at
the first board frmer tone prevailed
and an advance took place ranging
from t to ! per cent, in which the
entire list participated. The dealings
generally were on a rather limited
scale. Insiders think an important
point is gained by the action of the
Pennsylvania and Baltimore and Ohio
roads in advancing rates. A leading
New York Central director says the
railroad war will not end except upon
Vanderbilt's terms. These terms are
understood to be the abolition of
deferential rates. If Vanderbilt ad-
vances rates to New York to the price
established by Garrett as the rate to
Baltimore, the war would practically
be at an end. The New York Gen.
tral people say, however, that some
effective guarantee against rate cutting
will be required to elinch a final
agreement. Stockholders represent
ing $4,000 shares Of Jersey Central
have formally demanded that the
company take steps to dissolve the
receivership. If the demand is re-
fused the stockholders will ask the
court for an order requiring the COM
pany to show cause why action is
delayed. Baltimore and Ohio people
are understood to be buying Marietta
and Cincinnati bonds. There is a
good foreign demand for frst-class.

The story that Gambetta poked out
one of his own eyes when a child, be-
cause his father would not permit him
to do as he pleased is perfectly true.
What is not so generally known is
that the elder Gambetta remained in
flexible even after this appalling dis
play of wilfulBess. The boy was be-
ing educated at the Lycee Of Cahors,
and, conceiving dislike to the insti-
tuition, asked to be removed from it.
His father refused again and again.
At last Leon said: I'll put out one
Of my eyes if you send me back to the
Lycee." 1t was holiday time. "As
YOU please" said the father, to whom
it seems never to have occurred tina

"NOT A TRUE BILL"
Such was the Endorsement on the
Barrett Indictment.
The Matter Ended SO Far as the
Jury are Concerned.

Nashville American, 2j.l
At noon, yesterday, the grand jury
entered the Criminal Court room. DR..
Ordway, the foreman, gave to Judge
Quarles a paper, and the grand jury
then retired. The paper handed to
Judge Quarles was the bill of indict-
ment drawn by Attorney General
Washington, which sought to indict
Senator Barrett for bribery in cOnnec-
ton with his vote on the 100 3 bill.
On the bill was written. "Nor true

foreman Of the grand jury.
The fact that the grand jury had
ignored the bill was not known out.
side Of perhaps a dozen persons, yes
terday, ard consequently this an.
nouncement will be a surprise, even to
some Of the gentlemen who were pres
ent at the indictment. In converse
tion with a number Of gentlemen, some
Of whom have testified before the
grand jury in relation to the Barrett
investigation, an American reporter
found that no one knew of the ter
mination of the investigation. 1t
was whispered about the courthouse
thatsome conclusion had been reached.
This was caused by the appearance
of Attorney General Washington in
the court room during the afternoon.
1t could not be ascertained how the
grand jury had voted on the bill, but
the action of the foreman in returning
the bill, shows that the matter is
ended as far as the present grand jury
is concerned.

Sir William Harcourt, while speak
ing at Glasgow yesterday after receiv
ing the freedom Of the city, said that
both the late and the present govern
ments we're reluctant to proceed at an
early stage against the Land League,
because it was not desirable to sup
press what pretended to be a constitu-
tional agitation, especially If con-
nected with real grievance; but, when
such an agitation avowed illegal views
no government would fail to be sup
ported in asy and all measures it
might take for the safety Of society.
The task, he said, was difficult and
painful, but, that the government
having set its hands to the plow, they
might rely upon its not turning back.
TIE speech received prolonged cheer
ing.

means by which Bremen, Hamburg,
