of the factory, with its thousands of operatives,
ushered into existence the order OF things
1t is of that new order Of things which the subse-

region will deal with more in detail In this letter
merely attempt glance at the region rs a whole
and to facilitate that and at the Same time TO map
out my route of travel the above map of the woolon
region is presented. 1t is curious fact that within
the region given only three of the towns carry on
the manufacture of coton-SkIpJOn, Keighoy and
Otley-and yet a brisk walk would take us into the
great cotton districts of the world. Equally sur
prisng is the fact and this surprised several York
shire WOOllen manufacturers whom told them that
not n woolen or worsted mill or factory exists IN
Yorkshire outside of the district indicated on The
1RIBUNEs map. There are moro furnaces at Leeds
Bradford, Normantown; llnrn manufactures mt
Barnsev; some silk manufactures at Leeds, Obey
and Halifax; shoddy manufactures AT Dewsbury aud
Bailey, also carpet manufactures while wool len aud
worsied manufacturing IN carried on extensively at

ST. PAUL, August pa cyclone struck
Rochester at 3 P. NJ. yesterday, and de-
molished about 80 houses and damaged
200 more. The names of the killed, as
far as known, at Rochester are John NJ.
Cole, Mrs. McQuillan, Thomas Steel,
Mrs. Seurrath, August Seurrath, Mr.. Os-
born and an infant, Fred. Clough, Mrs.
Wetherell, Mr.. Steitzel. Mr.. Higgins,
Mrs. Quick and child, and Mrs. McCor-
mick. These with four unidentified,
have been brought to the undertakes.
Six Others have been taken care of by
friends. Dodge and Olmstead counties
suffered terrible damage. 1t is impos-
sible to give an estimate of the damage
to the city and county of Rochester,
one-third of which was destroyed last
night. The town is situated about So
miles south of st. Paul, on the Chicago
and Northwestern Railroad, and Is a
beautiful little town of 5000 inhabitants.
Most of the houses are brick, and there
are several stately business blocks.

Miss TViilard's Work.

cal. AdrOcGte.l
This book IS IN many respects 1lniaue
and comes befort the public III connec,
ton with moy ement Of trar.scendant
benevolence, chief y, if not en- tireIv. tbe
work of women. This book tells the
story of the possib lily of woman's work
1t Is an unstudied book, and not pain-
fully fshed upfrom the inner conscious
ness" 1t is story of experience in =
rich field. Miss W lizard herself is
sketched beautifully and appropriately
IN the book by her eloquent friend.
Mary A Lathbury, and this part of the
work IS not her own except as 1t is due TO
her The leading women Of the oreat
movement did that part Of it. without LET
ting Miss Willard know anything about
1t. This sketch is a fine int reduction to
the work. 1t seems to us tha the women
OF this country can be grea; sly elevated
by taking the suggestions of this book
and putting themselves up on a plane
above friVllous employment, and evan
escent pleasures. They can do some
thing for Others. There is great deptb
and breadth to Miss Wizards plans. She
means to lift up her whole country nv
education, by practical benevoIence. by
actual reform. She does not propose to
waste all the money and syrnpathies of
her society upon the broken and helpless
wrecks along the shore of time. Very
little, comparatively, can be done for
drunkards of this country. The children
may be saved, the people educated, the
women made wiser, better and far more
useful. The likeness in the book helps
one to appreciate it. The story is grand
er than any novel we know of. 1t is n
work of genius, the genius of berlsf
cence. It will bless every house it e eaters.
There Is something in the liken ass of
Miss Willard that reminds us OF Anna
Dickinson, but this eloquent woman
missed her opportunity, hid her light
under bushel, and will soon be foruof-
ten. She lacked conscienti business. and
so began reformer, and ended as Il moor
actress. She might have been one of
the first women OF the age instead of one |
Of the poorest on the stage. Frances
E. Willard has done her work well as n
teacher, writer, lecturer and reformer, |
and especially as the leader of fifty |
thousand other women. We commend |
her mission, her work and her book" |
Orders will be attended to for two weeks. |
