MRS. HUMPHREY WARD.
Short Account OF The Now Fa-
nous Author of "Robert
Elsmere

Whoever does not know his Blooms
bury has but to turn to " Robert
Elsmere," where he will find the de-
script IN of Bedford square, the
LondoA home Of the Elsmeres, and
but a tWo-minutess walk from Mrs.
Wards own house, says the Critic.
Rumor now has it that Mr.. and Mrs.
Ward have found for themselves a
summer home in Surrey, surely one
of the prettist counties in England.
The place they have bought is near
Heslemere, where Tennyson lived
several months of the year, and
where Mrs. Gilchrist, the friend of
Danta Rossetti, Walt Whitman, wrote
many letters which have lately been
given to the world.
Mrs. Ward has published two or
three other books, less famous than
"Robert Elsmere;;" but none appear
ed until after she had been married
several years, The first was "Milly
and Oily" story for children, illus
trated by Mrs. Alma Tadema, How
strong is her love for certain parts of
England is already shown in this very
simple little tale. Her child hero
and heroine came from Oxfordshire,
and their summer journey, of which
the story is the record, is the lake
country, where Robert Elsmere first
met Catherine. A good deal of Mrs
Wards personality can be learned
from her books. "Milly and Oily"
was published in 1881. In 1884 it
was followed by her first novel.
"Miss Bretherton," which made some
talk at the time, because the heroine,
an actress, in certain ways suggested
Miss Mary Anderson. There was
just enough similarity to cause gossip.
Many passages in "Miss Brother
ton" clearly reveal Mrs. Wards great
reverence for, and sympathy with,
French genius and French ideals 1t
was this probably, that led her to the
translation of Amiel's "Journal In
time," published in 1885. The
"Journal' is of immense interest to
to all who care for psychological
problems and struggles, but it is a
book pre-eminently for the lew.
Even Mathew Arnold's criticism of
it in one of the English magazines
could not make the translation popu-
lar. Besides her mastery of the
French language, shown by this work
it is said that Mrs. Ward knows more
about Spanish literature than almost
any woman living.

ces Of it provided Fer identity should
not be revealed She declared that the
portrait of the poet which! is reproduced
in this number of Harper's was "the
best one she had ever seen. and had his
expression" She died in the west In
1887, over seventy years old.

a NEW HOME TREATMENT.

Sufferers are not generally aware that
these diseases are contagious, Or that they

On Sunday, Feb. 18th, Gillette's
adaptation of Haggard's "She" appeared
at the Chicago Opera House Since
the piece was first seen In Chicago it
has been materially bettered in every
way, and returns with strong cast,
wonderful spectacular features, beautiful
scenery, and with many other improve
ments that are calculated to further the
business Of the piece. The scenery, BY
Phil Goatcher, is weird but beautiful,
and well in keeping with Haggard's
idea of the surroundings of the piece
"Ihe Great Cave Of the Amahagger,"
"The Underground Palace of She,"
"The Chasms of the Rocking Stone,"
and other tableaux are depicted in much
wilder confusion than the idea from
reoding the romance can convey. Miss
Laura Clement, who played the part Of
Ayeshe (She) liz the lady who played
the part originally in the first produc-
ton 10 New York about year and
half ago; and the cast will include Mr..
M. B. Snyder, Miss S. Harkins, Chas.
Bowser, Miss Tellula Evans, Rose Sny-
der and many others. The music by
W. W. Furst, is perfectly in keeping
with the scenery and the character of
the piece. The piece will be produced
here with all the original splendor of
the New York engagement, and will be
under the personal direction of Mr.. Al.
Hayman.

"zHe Aeg1s," a college paper pub
lished at the University of Wisconsin
at Madison, has the following among
other things with regard to the rhet-
orical exercises which took place in
Library Hall recently: "Myron E.
Baker, of go, next appeared on the
program with an Grafton on 'Sci-
ence and Religion" Mr.. Bakers
Grafton was one of the finest produc-
tons ever delivered in Library Hall.
The Grafton was evidence of deep
thought, careful study and careful
reasoning. In composition it showed
its author to be man of excellent
literary talent and an orator in the
true sense of the word" Mr.. Baker
is the son of Myron A. Baker, Esq,
Of Kenosha, and while his GRAFTON
did him great credit, he has only full
filled some of the promises which
were apparent during his school life
in Kenosha. We congratulate, not
only the young man, but his parents
and friends upon his success in the
university. In the same magazine
appears also a poem by Mr.. Baker,
which is not wanting in poetical
rythm, and is full Of pure and simple
thought and very creditable to the
author.

Some one has been overhauling the
old New England account books and tax
lists and has found some interesting en-
tries. In 1915 Congress, to provide
additional revenues, imposed tax of
$6,O0O,OUO on the country, of which
S622,541 fell upon Massachusetts,, of
which Maine was then part. Lands,
buildings, slaves, household furniture,
plate, pictures, clocks, and watches,
were taxed For every gold watch kept
for use So duty was paid, and for every
silver one ST.. The lists for Hancock
County, then including Penobscot,
Piscataquia, and part eff Waldo, show
that only ten persons in the whole dis
trict owned furniture Of value exceeding
5000 Twelve gold watches were
owned in the district and 289 silver
ones.

9TH of next June. The success of
the Brooks law, with severe and
minute restrictions, which reduced
the saloons in the state from 14,7o4
to 1928, seems to have been edu-
cative in its influence, and given the
people confidence in their ability to
go step further.
In Michigan the people are about
repairing the mistake of two years
ago, when an error in the title Of the
bill inva.idated the county option
law which was passed. Governor
Luce in his recent message strongly
advocated prompt action which
should give the people either county
option or state prohibition, and a
measure is now pending in the leg
islature, prohibiting the traffic in all
those counties which voted it down
under the local option law.
In Illinois, a prohibitory amend
ment resolution has been introduced
by Senator Sheets, accompanied by
a ringing speech, declaring it to be a
fundamental principle of the govern
ment that the people should be al
lowed to express their opinion on
any matter relating to their welfare.
There is said to be a strong demand
through the state for positive action
by the legislature, and either this
resolution, or a county option bill is
likely to pass.
In Minnesota, where the high IL
cense law has cut down the number
of saloons a great deal, and with a
"patrol limits" feature in the large
cities, has produced good results, a
bill has been introduced in the as
sembly to increase the license tax
from $1,000 to 1900, in cities, and
from $500 to 5000, in the county;
many prominent men favor county
option law, and advanced legislation
Of some sort is pretty sure to be had.
Nebraska also has voted to sub
nit to the people the alternative of
keeping the present high license and
local option law. Or of having pro
hibitory amendment. The lawless-
ness and crime in Omaha and the
large towns are so alarmingly great,
and the population of the state is SO
largely agricultural that it is thought
probable that prohibition will win in
the popular election.
Reports from Kansas and New
Jersey indicate an intensified senti-
ment in the people for stringent laws.
In the former state Gov. Martin, the
retiring Governor, declares in his
message that prohibition has p1ac-
tically abolished the saloon and en-
ormously diminished crime, and add
ed to the general welfare in many
ways. New Jersey has a county OPP
ton law, under which quite por-
ton Of the state has already abol-
ished the saloon.
In Indiana, Gov. Hovey, in his in
augural, strongly advocates legisla-
ton upon this matter which should
put the traffic more thoroughly un-
der the control of the people, but the
Democratic legislature promptly
throttled the proposition, and will do
nothing this winter.
In our own state legislature
county option bill has been intro
duced by Senator Joiner, which, if it
passes, will permit the citizens of
each county to decide for themselves
whether or not liquor may be sold

compliance with the requisitiou from
the Sacred College Of the Inquisition at
Rome the Catholic authorities of this
country are investigating the results of
the intermarriage of Catholics and Prot
estants. The object is to learn whether
the promises exacted by the Church
that children shall be reared in the
Catholic faith have been faithfully
kept; in how many cases the Protestant
parties have been converted; if any
cases have occurred where the Catholic
parties have apostatzed from the faith,
and the number of children who have
been lost to the Church through mixed
marriages.

 stands the school-house on the hill, where faithful men one term in year taught the eager youth ill earthly knowledge, and like wise inspired them with love of heavenly things. The great rock still stands where the girls gathered to pray at noon-tide, and the plne grove where the boys went on similar errand. 7. % There are memories also of the singing schools; in which the, pastor was al- ways interested, and which he promoted, for he loved the service of song, and de- sired to have it we'll rendered in the sanct- uary. Then there are the school-ho meetings, and the . beautiful, delightful Sabbaths, the communion seasons, and the goodly fellowship of the saints.
 How the visions rise of the scenes these courts have witnessed, of the faces and forms that gathered here. How many worthy names of the dear departed. Would that had time to speak them ten derly, to recount their virtues, to tell of the ties of strong affection that even death could not sunder; but were there time words were wanting to speak their worth. | We devoutly remember also the times of refreshing from the presence of the Lord, in 1882, when the membership of the church was doubled in 1850, when the select school, that continued for a series of years, began again, in 1864 -'65, just before and after the remodelling of the meeting house.
 In 1864 Mir. Ichabod Upham, now the oldest member, in his 91st year, together with his wife of blessed memory, united with the church at the ripe age of 66 years.
 At the beginning of my fathers minis try, according to his statement in 1841, the church had been organized 103 years, and there had been added 229 members. Dur S6 were added to the church, 15 by letter and Fl by profession. Since then, so far as can learn, 29 have been added, making 344 in all, Cor about on an average have joined the church each year since the be. ginning. This average confronted the pas.
