MRS. CHAPMAN.
MISS ALLEN.


Mrs. Chapman is of English parentago and
was born in Wisconsin in 1860, but went with
her parents to Iowa when years Of age. At
IS she entered the state agricultural school
at Ames, Ia, and, studying and teaching at
the Same time, was graduated in 1880 at the
head of her class. Her subsequent callings
were teacher in the public schools and jour
nalist. She married Mr.. Leo Chapman, editor
Of The Mason City Republican, who on &C
count of i'll health in 1855 went to California
and assumed the position of local editor on
The San Francisco Chronicle. He sent for
his wife, but was soon after taken suddenly
i'll and died. Mrs. Chapman readily found
employment on The Chronicle, and at the
same time lectured on tho Pacific coast.
While in California she conceived the idea of
the necessity Of an American party, and
year ago returned, and since then has been
occupying herself with the work of establish
ing such an organization. Whether the new
party will make its own national nomina-
tions, or content itself with acting directly
in tho matter Of state issues and joining
forces with some other party in national
elections, does not yet seem to be decided.

It is said that in thinking of place Of con-

location at time. In thinking Of New
York many people picture this busy place
with its diverging streets, its throng Of
moving men and horses, and all manner Of
conveyance on wheels, and its mammoth mod

q church Of the last century. Hero the
wealthicr New Workers of that time were
accustomed to worship, and doubtless some
to doze under the doctrinal sermons of the
period, without being awakened by even

probably dirt road. A stranger now and

In this churchyard one may while away
