WOMEN AS ART WORKERS.
Peter Cooper's Experiment. Not Altogether
Success.


Success.
New York Mail and Express.
Peter Cooper with that precision which is
given to few rarely constituted individuals,
was tormented somewhat by the thought that
his University of Practical Instruction could
it did for boys. because he foresaw that the
tendency of modern civilization TO with
draw from the former both the protection OF
parents and the promise and probability of
wifehood. There seemed but opening
that time and that in art matters. It
was considered settled fact that women are
naturally more artistic than men, and it was
supposed that the American woman, if given
proper facilities of instruction, would become
prominent feature OF American art. So the
Woman's Art School was established inn
portant part Of the Cooper Union. and the best
instruction and the utmost facilities were
lavished upon the young women who thronged
to join its classes. subsequently, as an expert
ment, q small school of wood engraving for
women created, and little corner
found for them, away from the splendid and
well-lghted quarters provided for the drawing
and life classes.
The result has been peculiar. The humble
engraving school has been a complete success
the majority of the pupils have established
themselves as wood engravers. and have earned
a comfortable subsistence for. themselves by the
business. The art school has hardly turned out
single artist. and though many of the pupils
have been enabled to maintain themselves, it
has been as teachers of drawing in various public
schools throughout the country. But the time
is approaching very fast when nexorable
economy will limit public instruction strictly
reading, writing and arithmetic, the main reli-
of these young women is about to break in
their hands 1t may, indeed, be doubtful il
women more artistic than men, and the
clusion seems irresistible that in the establish
ment of his Womens Art School, in the belief
that 1t would be source of bread winning,
Peter Cooper was not practical as in the de-
partments for young men.

THE FARMERS. ALLIANCE.
An Organization Making Tremendous
Strides In the south and West.

Atlanta Special
In the near future the Farmers Alliance will
be the most potent political factor in the South
and West. There aresnow about ], 800, 900 mem
bers in the West alone Texas has $50, 900, and
Georgia. which has only been organizing a few
months. has over 30 co., and 100 counties
now applying for organizers in Georgia alone.
There are about twelve fifteen States in
which the organization has been per
fected, embracing all of the Southern
States. The alliance has for its OBJ
ject the advancement of the farmer.
When a county is organized they give the trade
of the whole county to one two merchants
giving 1t to the merchant who agrees to sell
goods to the farmer at the lowest advance above
cost prices, the alliance holding the right to ex-
anime his bills at any time and that he
stands up to his bargain Under this rule it is
claimed that the farmer gets his goods at % per
cent. less than he has formerly paid. The al
lance has its official organ, the Mercury, which
is printed at Dallas Tex. and has exceeding
ly large circulation. In Texas an alliance bank
has been started by calling in an assessment of
SO from each mem Der in that State. The bank
has capital OF of $500, 000 and is said to be
doing handsome business, lending money to
one but farmers and charging reasonable rates
Thus 1t will be seen that each member of the
Texas Alliance has personal interest in the
bank, since he is stakeholder TO the amount of
So. 1t is proposed to establish exchange
through which all the cotton raised by members
will be sold-contracts being made direct with
England and other foreign buyers by the mana
gers of the exchange. 1t is also proposed Co
establish in Texas large depot where all kinds
of farm implements will be sold to the members

as such places called. It easily be seen
what an influence politics such orRaniza-
ton could WELD When asked how fast the
alliance growing, Senator Jackson, who is
president of the Georgia Alliance, said:
lit has really not been boom until since
1885, and most of the members enrolled we
have secured since that time. The organization
is growing fast now that no correct census
could be taken, for by the time the census was
taken the growth would have made it far behind
the real membership 1t is only question of
time until every farmer in the South and West
belongs to The alliance which bids fair to do more
good for him than all the other organizations
that have ever beer formed to this end"

HE KISSED EMMA ABBoTT.
Drummer Larned's Rather Startling Freak
at Theater Dressing Room.

HARRISBURG, Pa. March 3.--An episode which
occurred behind the scenes during the singing OF
the Bohemian Girl" by the Emma Abbott COM
pany on Tuesday evening leaked out here. The
prima donna and her leading people stopped at
the Lochiel Hotel. where there appeared on the
register page below their names the autograph
of one William Larned, jr.. OF Boston
This latter parsonage was trim in appearance
and quite fashionable specimen OF the genus
drummer. During the evening he appeared at
the opera house. and managed TO get behind the
scenes by representing himself old friend
of Emma Abbott. When the star met Larned
she could not recall having seen him before but
he protested that she had met him. Out of
courtesy she endured his chatter awhile, think.
ing it possible that he might have been pre-
scented to her some time other on her
travels.
Suddenly, however. her feeling of tolerance
was changed to disgust. for, catching her arm,
Larned leaned forward and imprinted q kiss
upon the white shoulder of the songstress before
she OWNED his intention Then she screamed,
and disappeared within her dressing room.
Members of the company hustled the drummer
into the street. He not whit abashed,
and tauntingly yelled back that he would see
the company in Altoona their next stand.
