cerning the questions upon which they
are to pass at the ballot box next month.

tr cities by Friend


tr cities by a Friend
WASHINGTON, Nov. II The vagaries of
the much talked of young author, Amelie
Rives. now Mrs. Chanler, have been so
colo; ed and exaggerated that one can hard
" tell whether she is conceited girl with a
shark of genius, or much maligned young
woman with serious aims in life Under
these circumstances a bit of authentic bio
qraphy, from the honest lips of one intimate
in the family since Amelies babyhood, pos
Sss:es real value to the world aud as
such it is here offered.
For her utter abandonment to every
vyhiu, and caprice that comes into her
r,ind-which seems to be the sum total of
Miss Rives' crimes-she is really not to be
blamed. 1t is the result of training, or
retber of the lack of training of her whole
life and it mtist-it is affirmed-be laid at

erurns eny control himself, but insisted that
his children should cone up under the same
disastrous conditions. No discipline what

bis family.
The lovely and intelligent mother pro-
tested against what she felt BODIED ill to the
future of her children, but upon the iron
will of her imperious consort her protest
made no impression, and Amelie grew up
entirely undisciplined, full of the crudties
and capyices inseparable from such a youth
So soon as she began to display her ability

EneIt(figuratively .speakiug)and received her
Iiyhtest words as oracles. In a word, every
thing conspired to spoil her, from the era
die up. and she rushed into print at a time
when She should have been in the school
room. Unfortunately for her, there was
enough of genius under her gush to attract
attention at once, and so the world goes on
to complete the work of her father. 1t is
ritiful.
Meanwhile some of the freaks of her ex
uberant fancy are very amusing. She is
said to be studious probably because she
does not leave her room before noon; but
peither-it is declared by those who claim
to know-does she leave her bed. Though
she takes her breakfast, and reads and
writes, not till the sun has passed the meri-
dian does she leave her pillow and allow
herself to be dressed. Apropos of this habit,
an interesting story is told upon the best
gu hority-

One morning since she became known,
an English tourist travelling through her
neighbOrhood, took the liberty of
seeking an interview with her. She
was, as usual, in bed, but at his
urgent request his card and his prayer to
see her were delivered to the young author
under the counterpane The message she
returned was that she never received visits
during the day, but at night she would be
happy TO see him.
He was in haste, but he was in search of
idosyncrasies, so he loitered away the day
light, and late in the evening repeated his

not into the drawing-room, but to a tent on
the lawn. On lifting the curtains at the
entrance an Oriental scene was discovered.
Gorgeous Persian hangings adorned the
walls, rich rugs from the far East covered
the floor, heaps of costly furs made luxu-
riOus seats, low ottomans served for foot
rests; the scent of flowers was heavy on the

light over all.

fnery in the house of the rich and eccentric
southern planter; he had not anticipated a
