THE POWER OF LOVE.
BY REV. MARY J. DELONG.
Oshkosh, Wis.,

Mrs. Susan II. Barney, of Rhode Is
land, national superintendent of the
prison, Jail, police and aims house work
of the WOman's Christian Temperance
Union, in speech made before the In
ternational Council of Women during
its recent session at Washington, relates
the following incident, which shows
the wonderful power of kindness to
disarm hate and to subdue evil.
In certain city which she visited
for the purpose of inducing the author
tiles to put a woman at some one or
more of the police stations, having full
police authority, into whose hands
every woman arrested should be given
and cared for, she met with this exper-
fence. The police officers said to her {:
"Well, if you could see one woman that
comes in here three or four times a
year; Old Sal why it often takes four
of US to bring her in, and we get our
faces scratched, at that - So it hap
pened that upon going to the jail one
morning she was met with the exultant
announcement that they had "Old Sal"
there, and they would like her to bring
her into court, adding "if you can do
that we will not oppose you any more. -
The chief of police kindly offered an
escOIt of two men to take care of her.
Politely declining the offer, and taking
the key from him, she started. AS she
came to the cell door she raped with
the key and opened it. In the long,
dark, narrow cell crouched a woman,
looking more like wild beast than a
human being. She was expecting a
policeman, and was just ready to
spring. Seeing her mistake, she cried
out, "WhO are your" 81 am your
friend" "No you are not; haven't
got any friends" II am. II thought
something was queer when somebody
raped at the door; l never had that
done in all the times | have been here
before. Who are you anyway, a police
MANI" 'NO, 1 am a pOlicewoman.' y
"Oh, I didn't know they had such
things"
Mrs. Barney standing up beside her,
and looking down into her eyes, called
her by her last name with Mrs. before
it. "WhO told you that; have not
heard it for forty years" Mrs. Barney
without replying to her question said;
"You know you have got to go into

He also took great interest in
young people, and many, now promi-
nent business men, speak with graft
tude of the timely word of advice and
encouragement which they have re-
ceived in earlier years from him. His
manner was somewhat abrupt he
thought and felt quickly and earnestly,
and expressed himself in the same way,
but his heart was tender as a wOman's,
and no true taleTof woe fell on unheed-
ing ears when told to him.
In every department of life, as hus-
band, as father to his adopted chill
dren, as citizen and civic officer, and
in business, he was the same upright,
honorable man. He has left memory
and an example worthy of being widely
known and followed, Of a business man
without stain, wealthy man without
selfshness, q charitable man without
ostentation.
We take pleasure this week in pre-
senting picture of this noble gentle
man, deceased ten years ago, but well
remembered in the great city for his
benevolent activities; and also a portrait
of his devoted wife and helper who
passed away last week, mOurned as few
women have been mourned in the his
tory of our city, but leaving beautiful
memory as "My Lady Bountiful =" of
Chicago. For the sketch of Mr.. Talcott
we are indebted to the Reporter of the
Organized Charity Association of this
city. That of Mrs. Talcott was pre-
pared to accompany the engraving
which we give this week. Such lives,
inspired by our faith and constantly ac-
tuated by its blessed spirit, deserve the
most prominent recognition that Uni
versalist journal can possibly give as an
incentive to others to follow their noble
examples.

THE LADY BOUNTIFUL.

By the death of Mary TalcOtt, says
the Chicago Tribune, of April 10, the
poor and suffering of Chicago have lost
their best friend. This good woman,
who has passed on to her reward, for
many years has been their sympathizer
and provider. She we'll knew their
destitute homes and they were equally
familiar with her benefcent house, the
house of the Lady Bountiful. She did
not patronize what we call society,"
nor did she know much of fashion.
Her fashions were Of another sort, old
as time and forever the same. There
now abideth faith, hope, and charity,
and the last was her favOrite of the
three. Having 50 much of her Mas
ter's work to do, she had little time for
the pleasure of the worlds gayety. She
was not an attendant on Women's Con-
crosses, nor were the gifts of her elo-
quence or the fashion of her garments
paraded in the public prints. She was
not known in agitations for suffrage.
She had no complaints to make of male
tyranny, but followed in the steps of
her husband, doing good. Her voice
was not heard in platform clamOring,
nor had she busted her pen in argu-
ments or appeals. She never proclaimed
her charity from the housetOp nor
waited for the worlds applause. And
yet among her sisters what woman hath
done so much as she for her own kindl
Her husband, now dead for ten years,
during his busy life had shared with
her the task of relieving the destitute.
1t was partnership of sympathy, love,
and charity. When he passed ON she
continued the work alone, the increased
toll being relieved by its sacred associa-
tions and benefcent memories. The
