THE implacaole hatred of the Southern
press FOR the author of "Uncle Toms Cabin, "
as sort of first cause of the overthrow of
slavery, manifests itself even in the comments
upon her husbands death. The Charleston
News and Courier, whose editors would resent
the charge of being anything but refined and
chivalrous, remarks, brutally, that the death
of Professor Stowe will ''serve, mainly, per-
haps, to excite a mild sort Of curiosity, on the
part of the public, as to what distinctive Pc
culiarity of taste could ever have induced him
to fall in love with the woman whom he made
his wife" Probably no power on earth could
convince mind so prejudiced as that of the
writer of the above, that the woman who
dared to hold the mirror Of truth up. to the
South was a faithful wife and a devoted,
home-loving mother, but such is her reputa-
ton among those who know her best. The
name of Harriet Beecher Stowe will be held
in loving remembrance, while that of the News
and Courier ghoul will not be known.

resentng all parts of the world. left on the after
noon and evening trains for home. Or the for
eign delegates there were five from France. one
from Rome, ono from Africa one from India,
and four from Canada. The Roman delegate
was the Rt Rev. Mgr Dufal, ex Bishop of Ben
gal, India, who was priest of the order.
Many matters OF vital Importance to the or
der, and to the cause of education and the
spread of the Catholic faith by means of mis-,
sions, were discussed bv the august assemblage,
which was presided over by the venerable Fa-
Their Sorln, superior general of the order and
founder OF Nolre Dame University. The first
five days of the session were taken up in re-
viewing the work of the order since the last gem
eral chapter, which was held several years ago.
and 1t was found that the work accomplished In
the way of founding schools and colleges was
simply wonderful, and the increase in the ranks
of the memhers of the order had kept pace with
the propaganda work. 1t was decided to infuse
new blood and common sense management into
the organization. and 20 hold out laudable in
ducements to American young men to join the
ranks of the priesthood and brotherhood of the
order by the election of men to high positions who
entertained views of what progression meant
in things pertaining to religion and education as

The superior-general is elected for life, but it is
customary to 60 through the form of electing
him at each chapter, and again the honorable
post was assigned with unanimity to Father

the horses took fright. the carriage was M
set, and Mr.. Perkins was instantly killed.
Mr.. Evarts escaped with a serious scalp
wound, and Miss Matthews with some severe
bruises.
Mr.. Evarts is the owner of the beautiful
Runnymede farm, well known to New Workers.,
where he spends every summer with Mrs. Evarts
and his children. The house is separated from
the farm buildings by two broad. sloping
meadows, with pond between; but the one is
reached from the other by broad carriage drive
which has been built on the top of dixie
twenty FIVE feet high. Mr.. Evarts is exceedingly
fond of driving usually insisting upon holding
the reins himself To-day, however. he sur
rendered them to his coachman Roberts, while
he occupied the rear seat with Mr.. Perkins.
1t was Just 6:30 whom the party started from
the farm on their return TO the house to dinner.
They had reached the dixie and were about half
way across, when one OF the horses became
frightened and tried to run away. Roberts

struck against stone wall and he died instant
ly Mr. Evarts and Miss Matthews were stunned
by their fall, but they were soon picked up and
carried into the house. The utmost consterna-

Later, however, both Mr. Evarts and Miss Mat
thews recovered consciousness, and, it was
thought, were out of danger DR.. Crosby, of
Concord N. H.. who was in the village and was
summoned to help tho local doctors, said at 10
