The tread of civilization throughout

The tread Of civilization throughout
the world is toward the elevation OF
women, and it is recognized that the way
to best effect this is to cultivate self re-
lance. Women are now in many States
elected to school offices. They are made
County Superintendents OF schools. They
hold other positions of trust and respon-
sibility, such as trustees OF benevolent
asylums. Every advance has resulted
well and justified the slow and grudging
permission of men that women should
do that work for which they are special
ly qualified. In private business and
public life, in professions, trades, and
hundreds of avocations women have
proven that the old theory that woman
must be doll, drudge, dependent,
was brutal barbarism. The Methodist
Church is certainly not the organization
to block the wheels of progress, but
rather that to lead the way and point the
road to higher life.-[Chicago Times,

SWEENEY TRYING no SETTLE.
Rhoads's Police Force Made No
Effort TO Capture Him.


Thomas Martin, Hugh r. Sweeney's VIC
tim, is utterly unable to hear, and there is
no prospect that he ever will recover his
hearing. The hole In his head Is OF
such nature that the bone will
never grow together, and Martin is
incapacitated for hard work for months
to come. 1t Is alleged with positive
ness by those In a position to know that
there were few II any on Rhoads's police
force who desired to avert Sweeney. He
had several cousins on the force and a
number OF fellow members OF societies to
which he belonged. IL Is known that he
remained In Wilmington from the satur-
day night that the attack was made until
the following Wednesday. when he
boarded train and left the city. A por-
tion OF this time he was in hiding In a
house on Reed st. with one OF bis femal Q
friends. The officers went TO this house,
but previous intimatl0n had been sent
Sweeney and he made good bis escape.
Several members Of the old force have
made repeated declarations that IL they
had been able they would not have arrested
him, but would have aided In bis escape.
Sweeney has been more bold during the
past week, and has been In the city on at
least two occasions. A few days ago
some OF bis friends made a proposition
to Martin TO pay him $l00 IL he
would not prosecute Sweeney and allow
him to return to the city. This was Inn
mediately rejected by Martin for the reason
that 1t would be a very slight compensation
for his injuries. There will be further
efforts made by Hweeney's friends to settle
the affair, but whether the Attorney Cen
eral will allow a settlement for a money
consideration is something that the parties
have not considered. The crime committed
BY Sweeney ia felony and should Martin
make settlement he would render himself
liable to the charge OF eompounding a
felony.
sweeney's whereabouts are well known
to a number OF persons 10 this city.

The BODY so Go 10 washiagGon.

NoNouTT, Mass, August S.-The half
masted flags dropping in the heavy atmos-
phere seem more than usual to indicate the
sorrow felt by a whole nation over the
death OF one of its heroes. At the cottage
OF the late Philip H. Sheridan the solemn
ity Of the occasion was evident In the per-
vading stiffness, scarcely broken by the
movements and utterauces of those about
the place, whose duties forbade rest and
silence. In the .darkened front parlor lay
the body OF the dead soldier.
Colonel Blunt, ordnance officer OF the
late Generals statr. arrived In the little
steamer Cygnet from New Bedford at 10
o'clock In the forenoon, and went at once
TO the Sheridan cottage. Captain Kellogg.
OF the staff, also arrived from Washington,
bringing the uniform and sword OF his
dead chief. The uniform is that OF a
Lieutenant General, az, owing to General
Sheridan's illness, the uniform indicative
OF the higher rank TO which he had been
raised had not yet been provided Colonel
Blunt will arrange and direct the simple
details OF the removal Of General Sheri.
