PROMINENT LADIES OF THE LAND.

Miss Maud Banks, of Boston, the daugh-
ter of Gen. n. p. Banks, has written play
that she intends to star in.
Mrs. J. D. Merest, famous as Maria
Hawes, contralto singer and composer of
ballads, is dead at Ryde, in the Isle of
Wight.
Miss Marian Foster, the lame artist who
has been in Washington during the winter,
has returned to New York. She had q
profitable season at the capital.
Senator McPherson's wife, who has long
been under a physicians care in New York,
returned to Washington few days ago
with her husband. She is still an invalid.
Miss Marie Van Zandt, the singer. is now
at Wiesbaden. where, it is said, she has
greatly improved her health, and that her
complete recovery is only a question OF
time.
Mary Anderson has. been the guest of
Mrs. Lawrence Barrett at Cohasset during
the present week. She begins her farewell
engagement at the Star theatre, New York,
on Monday night.
Mrs. Sutton, the new postmistress OF
Somerset, VT, settlement in Windham
county containing sixty-seven inhabitants,
refuses to open the postoffice more than
two days OF the week, alleging that she can
spend the rest of the time more profitably
in visiting, which, considering the popula-
tion to be served, is highly probable.
Mrs. Carrie Burnham Kilgore, after q
long and persistent struggle has at last
been admitted to practice at the bar OF the
Pennsylvania supreme court and as her
husband also is a lawyer, they will have
the advantage OF arguing cases at home,
though this is not unusual in families
where only the husband occasionally prac-
tices at the bar.
Mrs. Lydia A. Jackson writes to the edi-
tor of the Milestone (O.) Record that the
grasshoppers ate up all her last years
crops; that her SON is sick with consump-
ton; that she can get only $1.50 cord
for wood; that her husband, 80 years old,
is unable to be around, and that she cam
not pay the subscription for her paper.
Possibly the Record will put Mrs. Lydia
on the free list.

Supporters of Gladstone are daily be-
coming more hopeful that the home rule

parted his questioner's apologies for
intruding, with these words: when

customer came and walked me up at
midnight I always was glad to 60 and
get what he wanted. for knew nobody
