Great Little Men.

Some of the greatest men that ever lived were of small stature and insig. nificant appearance. The reader will readily recall many instances Very small are Dr. Pierce's Pleannt Purgs- tive Pellets, but they are far mors effective than the huge, oh-fashioned pills which arc % difficult to swallow and % harsh in their action. The "Pel- letsr are gentle, and never csuse con- stipation. For liver, stomach and bowel deFangements they have no equal.

 The close resemblance will be no- ticed between this piece and "Yorick'I Love- only that the latter had tragic ending and an old English setting. Mr W. D. Howells took the play from the Spanish, and 1t was presented by Mr Lawrxnce Barrett with his usual taste and thoroughness. It was re- ceived with sufficient favor to encour. age the adapter to add to his country'l slender stock of good plays, but hs saw ht to desert the drama and devote himself to the novel, probably because plots were essential to the former. "Yorick's Love" did not pIease tho English when 1t was produced in Lon- don. The anachronisms, which wcrs many, were found to be inexcuAble. This waE all the more strange, ~ they had already accepted that pervefsion of history, the SCharies,1 of Nr. ". G. Wills. For once, however, the fancy of the drsmatist was forbidden to play its pranks with fact.
 1t is hardly Dceesary to recall the todching story of "YorickS Love" The hero is . jester of the stare iD the days of Shakespeare and the old Globe theatSe.

visited the cities only occssiOn- ally. Although he never told me the story of his life I learned from his talk that he had been a wanderer for several years. His relations lived in the east and were wealthy. The only blot on the page of his life, 1t seemed to me, was his gambling, and he felt the sting of dishoDor more keenly than less sensitive, refined nature. Of the cause of his aimlese, wandering ways he never gave the slightest hint. His philosophy of allowing the other man to do the walking was carried out to the very letter, and except the genuine regret that he was fascinated by the tickle goddess of chance, to all outward appearsnces he had not . care in the world. A sunnier nature or . more sympathetic heart never knew. Strangely at variance with his otherwise quiet ways was his desire to be forever on the move. It may be that this rowing trait in his strange character caused him to leave life of refinement and ease and become . homeless wanderer.

porters being excluded. Standing room was at
premium when the evening session began. The theme
for discussion was Political Conditions and womans
Right to tho Ballot The first address was by Mrs.
Isabella Beecher Hooker, of Connecticut who spoke on
The Right of Women to Vote under the National Con-
stItutionn asserting that the words the people, In
the Constitution showed that 1t was the intention OF Its
trainers to place women on perfect equality Win
men, j. Ellen Foster said that woman was already
in politics. but that objection that women were not
fitted for politics applied only to the vanles OF New
York politics. Mrs. Harriet II. Roblnson's subject
was "The Present Attitude Of Political Party Toward
Woman Suffrage" She said she didn't expect any
thing from either Of the two leading parties and they
couldn't count great deal on Prohibition help
Your only hope" she said, seems to be IN the forma-
ton of o party" ,..
Mrs Martha A. Everett, Of the Massachusetts,
School Suffrage Association, said that the state law
allowing women to vote In school affairs had had .
beneficial effect, but that fuller privileges were
wanted laura NJ. Johns, OF Kansas declared that

NORTH CAROLINA REPUBLICANS CoNFIDEN

NORTH CAROLINA REPU BLICANS CONFIDENT.
To the EdttOr Of The Tribune,
Sir: AS new subscriber after reading the first num-
Der received | am only surprised that was not q
subscriber sooner l hope that few words from a
native Southerner may not DO out OF place with Tho
Tribune and Its readers.
In 1884, considering the Importance Of New-York to
the Republican party In tho then ap-
preaching contest, with Cleveands 10000
majority to be overcome by his opponent,
I was not favorable to Mr.. Balne's but to Chester A.
Arthur's nomination for the Presidency. But think
now that James G. Blaine is the greatest American
statesman of tho age and that the time In politics
has come when he should be given the Presidency But
our party Is rich in its number OF statesmen many OF
whom would mako good Presidents. So we are not at
n loss for an available candidate.
Then there are the many bad features OF the So
called Democratic party, prominent among which are
First Their opposition to Union soldiers, as shown
by their support OF the man who vetoed tho Pension
bills
Second. Their opposition to American labor, farms
factories and other industries, as shown by their
Third. Their opposition to educating all the chill
dren country, shown by their opposition 10
the Blair Educ atiOnal bill.
With the probability that our next National Con-
sections with the harmonious and united efforts Of
all we make look forward to next November for the
victory to be ours . 80
From tho present Indications, North Carolina will
break tho Solid South by sending her electoral votes
for whomsoever our candidate may be, and also by
sending three Republicans TO the next Congress.
