THE PUNDITA RAMABAI.
Her Mission In Trying To Elevate The
Hindu Women.

Pundita Ramabai, the high-caste
Hindu women, whose lectures have
attracted such attention throughout
England and the United States, is
expected to speak at the NJ. E.
church in this city on Friday even
ing. She is lecturing in the interest
of her own country-women, for
whose education she is endeavoring
to establish schools in Hindustan.
Thirty years ago, in the jungles of
the Western Ghauts in the indepen-
dent states of Mysore-ruled by its
native prince, but under the protec-
torate of the British empire-a child
was born to Marathi priest whose
future life was destined to be spent
in enlisting the sympathies of civili-
zation in the woes of the down-trod-
den women of India.
When 16 years of age her parents
died. After their death Ramabai
continued to travel with her brother
and when they reached Calcutta,
she created a sensation by her ad-
vanced views and scholarship. In
Calcutta Ramabai married a Bene-
gall gentleman, a graduate of the
Calcutta university, but after 10
happy months he died, and the
widow, with her infant daughter,
was now alone in the world.
She is educated and refined and
by preference retains Hindu's care
as regards a vegetable diet and the
peculiar dress of an Indian woman.
She has solemnly consecrated her
self to the work of emancipating the
women of India.
In speaking of the heathenish
custom of perpetual widowhood in
the Pundita-or professor, as
the English translation of that title
would be-in an interview said:
"In that country, as you know,
once a widow is to be always
widow. Peculiarly unfortunate and
is the lot of the Hindu
Betrothed from in
fancy, if her affianced dies, she is
doomed to a perpetual and a degrad-
ed widow-hood. The unhappy
of all India's women is
accentuated and intensified in her
case by added deprivation and in
jury. Many are driven to suicide
in their despair. My own people of
course have no sympathy with my
project, and 1 did not meet with
much encouragement in England,
but the people of America have re-
sponded to my appeal with their
liberaliUy, and in a
very few months now l expect to go
back to India and start the enter
prise on its feet"

Mr.. Cable. Advice to the Negroes.

Vote Cast your vote though taxed for
it. Cast your vote though defraude3 of it,
as many white man is to-day Cast
your vote though you die for it. Let no
man cry, Liberty or BLOOD" leave that
for Socialists and Partisan mobs; bat when
liberty means duty, and death means ones
own extinction, then the cry OF Liberty
or death" is holy cry, and the man who
will not make it his own even in freedom
is not free. Seek not to buy liberty with
the blood either of friends or enemies; it is
only mems own blood at last that counts
in the purchase of liberty. Whatever may
have been the true philosophy for more
than ferocious times, this is the true phil
osophy for ours. Cast your votes, then.
though many of you die for II. Some Of
you have died, but in comparison how few;
three hundred Thousand white men poured
out their blood to keep you bound, other
three hundred thousand died to set you
free, and still the full measure of Ameri-
can freedom is not yours. A fiftieth as
much Of your own blood shed in the inof-
fensive activities of public duty will buy
it. Keep your vote alive; bette. nine
free men than ten half free. Ia most Of
| the Southern States the negro vote ha.
hsen diminishing steadily for years, to the
profound satisfaction of those white mer
whose suicidal policy is To keep you il
alienism. In the name of the dead, blacl
and white, of the living, and of your chill
dren yet unborn, not as of one party or an
other, but as American freemen, vote
For in this free land the people that d,
not vote do not get and do not desery

articles IN proportion to the reduction on
sugar and rice, and repeal the duty on fruit
brandy, it would beyond all doubt pass the

was substantially the same as the one ia

now on the House calendar. There
was no question. therefore, of the commit
tee acting, nor did he think there was any
question as TO the action of the House. The
bill would be passed probably in the early
part OF next week. The bill is similar to
the one offered in the House by Morrow,
with some Senate amendments of minor
character tackled on. Morrow made hard
fight to get the bill through to-d day, but he
failed because Breckenridge and Springer
objected As no quorum was present, Nor.
