sorrows and burdens consequent on being wo-
man.
The principal characteristics of the public con-
ventions of women, and it is growing to be an I'M
pleasant one, is the constant harping on the fact
and consequences of being women. There is no
longer any reason why this fact should be partcu-
larry emphasized. Men have become so accus-
toned to women acting for themselves, earning
their own money, controlling their own property,
that they no longer think anything about it except
as women themselves call attention to the fact.
This has come about just as it has come about
that men do not notice women in the streets or
public places any more than they do men,
No objection or criticism is made by men nova
days when women choose to call and attend con-
ventions. If they have any sensible or wise sug-
gestions to offer on questions of public interest,
men are willing to listen and consider, not because
the suggestions are offered by women, but because
they are wise and sensible. Men are no longer
astonished at the intellectual or any other achieve
ments of women, and are far more ready than are
women themselves to take for granted the posi-
bty of their achieving the highest things in liter
AZURE, science, business, or even craftsmanship
The sooner women also take these things and their
own work for granted, the pleasanter it will be all
around
Among the leaders in the so-called "woman
movement this self-eonsciousness is manifested
in variety of ways. One of the most prominent
of these ladies writes from Washington concerning
the doings of the convention now in session there:
''My lifelong friend, Mrs. So-and-So, made
most telling address on such and such subject"
and Tour own Professor Susan So-and-So from
our own town of Smithville, reflects glory upon us
all by the able manner in which she sets forth her
views on the tariff" Why my life long friend?''
OF what interest is that to the public? Why lug
in Smithvile? Who cares for Smthyille or the
glory that is reflected upon it?
In his essay on ''Socal Aims Emerson says
that it is one of the characteristics of the great
man that che is nobody" Nobody, not even
leader in women's conventions, will ever be truly
great so long she is conscious, and betrays the
consciousness, that she is somebody. And solong
as woman's conventions keep harping upon and
emphasizing the fact, that they are composed of
women, and, therefore, of somebody's, they will
never rise TO the dignity essential to being vital
power in the body polite.

THE yEL10WsTDxE park Rr,1.

Washington special: 1t is about set
tied that the Yellowstone Park bill,
which passed the senate, will not get
through the house. Mr.. Holman is Bit
terly opposed to the bill, as it was
amended by the public lands committee,
and will try to beat it at all hazards.
The point in the bill to which Mr.. Hol-
man most strenuously objects is the rail-
road paragraph inserted by the house
committee. This is the Cinnabar q
Clark's Forks road, which Senator Vest
has SO persistently fought, and it is
grated in Vests own bill. Holman is
opposed to allowing any railroads to en-
ter the park. The rest of the commit
tee, including Judge Payson, are in
favor of granting the right Of way.
Other amendments adopted by the house
committee include one dropping the
northern boundary of the proposed ex.
tension of the park fifteen miles south,
I so as to give the railroads running M
Clark's Fork to Cook City n chance to
get through without entering the park.
Another provision strike3 out the pro-
vision for commissioner in the park,
by which Vests friend Wear, mt one time
superintendent of the park, was to gel
back there. The enlargement OF the
park by the bill, if it were to pass, would
be about 900 square miles.

FROM eRAvELorrE TO SEDAN.

sheridat's First Magazine article WFittsn
Jast BEFORE Hts Death.
New York special: just few days
before General Sheridan's death, Serb
ner L Co. received from the family of
the general the first magazine article
which he ever wrote. The general had
written it q month ago and it bore
marks of having been carefully revised.
He called the article From Gravelotte
to Sedan" General Sheridan kept a
careful record of his European expert
ences His position, rs non-combat-
tant observer of the great war, IS with
out precedent. He was invited by the
German government to accompany the
German headquarters, and he became
an intimate companion OF the two great
leaders of the German war movements.
Bismarck and Won Moltke. Sheridan's
style is like the man, simple and nnpro-
tentious. He makes many shrewd COM
ments ON those about him and inserts
some compliments paid him by the
great German leaders. He relates
number of interviews with Bismarck,
which show the iron chancellor to be a
thoroughly companionable man and a
1ellOWs IIC " hoAASAANtttAA
that he began life with tendencies .'all
towards republicanism, but that Ger
many was not sufficiently advanced for
republicanism Sheridan was with
Bismarck when that great statesman
sprang from his carriage with pistol
in each hand and cleared the streets of
the village of Cargo He was also with
him when he dismounted abreast of the
carriage of the defeated Napoleon.
Sheridan's description is very interest
ing and graphic. He says Bismarck sa-
luted the emperor ''in quick, brusque
way that seemed to startle him." A
trained reporter could not have given a
better description of the meeting be-
tween the two men. All the way
through the article the general has
avoided military tcchnicalities and
seemed to instinctively select only dra-
matte incidents. He tells many curious
stories about Won Moltke and shows the
old soldier to be an entertaining host
and agreeable companion.

uouornrT. Mass, August c.-Ai
through yesterday General Sheridan mao
han in unusually good spirits, iaushlns
and chatting with his brother ana mem
bars of ths family. The un'av0fAOi'
symptoms made their appearance 90 an
npecsedly and were 80 rapid In develop
neut that the children were aroused
barely in time to take last look OF 'nsn
diving father. With the general o. sue
death bad were Mrs. Sheridan, mary
Louise, Irene and Philip, the children
Colonel Sheridan, his brother, win nh
wife, the doctors and nurses. Mira snef'-
dan and the nurses were on their knees In
PRAYER as the spirit departed? Mrs. Col
onel Kellogg, dear friend Of the family
arrived just moment after the last breath
was drawn. Injections of digitalis, APP
plications of mustard plasters and every
thing used in such cases we're applied, but
all proved unayailing even to arouse the
general from the state Of nneonseionsness
into which he sank soon after the symptoms
of recurring heart failure occurred, and In
which he remained until he drew his last
breath.
1t was this morning arranged tnat Gen,
eral sheridan's remains will be transferred
to Washington in q special car, to leave
New Bedford Wednesday, and that the
funeral service will be held in s. Mat
thsw's church as ssJn as possible there
after, either Thursday or Friday.
The work of emhalmins the generals
body was begun at an es.ly hour this
morning. General Sheridan has repeatedly
expressed q strong dislike TO display 10
funerals, and in accordance with his wishes
and those Of Mrs. Sheridan the ceremonies
in Washington are TO be as simple ss pos
uible. The funeral. however, will be 0
military one. Interment will be made al
the grounds OF the soldiers homo in Wash
inRton, if assurance can be obtained that
his wife and children may DO given rest

Messages Of coincidence 70 Mrs. Sheridan
are arriving at monquitt this morning from
