1 was moved by this letter; and
time, aided by the consciousness OF
carelessness, has not weakened the
impression made by its tremendous
moral purpose.
The world is becoming familiar
now with the tragedy of Father
Damien's sublime life; almost too
familiar.
But here is one of ourselves; a
person such as one may see any day,
a solitary, thoughtful woman like
hundreds of others whom the isola-
ton of life leads into soul-sweetness
rather than souls bitterness. With
a modesty and simplicity which go
far to testify to the reality of her
purpose she elects the Via Dolorosa
of modern mission as quietly as an
other woman may decide to go to
Paris or to study the violin.
Being. as / say, much moved by
the letter of this noble woman, 1
mentioned it to a friend, who added
emotion to emotion by the following
prompt reply:
Are you, then, so much surprised?
Why l know another just such case.
1 have heard of still another. But
of one l can testify, for it is the case
of a personal friend. She is an
artist, well-know and Weighted.
She has brilliant career before her.
She came to be last winter and said
she wished to follow the mission of
Father Damien. I told her Lot to
go. 1 thought it q misdirection of
gifts"
Direction or misdirection, who
shall say? for the soul of another is
a dark road. Every story has its
own solemn plot, wrought by the
hand of the great Author We are
but miserable proof-readers, after all,
when we try to guide the heart of
our nearest and dearest. What
bunglers at the life of strangerl
What should l say to her who
asked of me the bread of womanly,
sisterly interest, and has received
perforce the stone of silence? If
her eyes ever fall upon these col
umns she may know that what 1 say
before the world is, indeed, only
what I could have said in the seclu-
sion of a private letter: You noble
woman, l do not knowl I respect
you, revere you, / humbly pray
Heaven for the 1.-THE of your self

Chrlstianity-but whether you ought

SUGGESTIONS TO THE PAN-AMERIcAN
CONGRESS.

CONGRESS.
A short time ago the PHILADELPHIA
Board of Exchange received a letter
from Secretary of State James G.
Blaine requesting that body to offer
suggestions respecting proposed sub.
jects for consideration by the Inter
national American Congress which
will shortly resume Its session in
Washington, after tour through
the country. In compliance with
this request the Exchange has for
warded to the Secretary of State a
number of suggestions, among them
being declaration in favor of free
raw materials, and another protest
ing against the payment of bounties
or subsidies to either steamship or
sailing lines.
The resolutions are as follows:
Whereas the Secretary of State
has requested the commercial bodies
of Philadelphia to offer suggestions
respecting the subjects proposed for
consideration by the International
American Congress to be held in
Washington during the month of
October, 1889; therefore be it
Resolved, That the Commercial
Exchange of Philadelphia respect
fully offers the following sugges-
tons:
The establishment of direct tele-
graphic communication with all the
export centres of South America.
The establishment of banks of
commerce in all the American coun-
tries with the assistance of their
respective Governments that direct
means of exchange may be secured.
The admission into this country of
all raw or manufactured material
absolutely free of duty from said
countries, no matter whether such
material be intended for direct con-
sumption for food, or for use in the
arts and sciences or for subsequent
manufacture. Provided reciprocal
action is taken by said Governments
touching our goods imported into
their ports.
The establishment of uniform port
charges, classification and valuations
of merchandise, and as far as practi-
cable of commercial reciprocity.
The universal establishment by
the South American countries of
our system of weights and measures,
If any change at all is made in the
present system. The Exchange,
however, is of opinion that were
trade once firmly established imma-
terial measures of this kind would
easily adjust themselves.
The establishment in its entirety
of our system of patent law; the
creation of some method of arbitrat
ing, without European interference,
of any difficulties or differences that
might arise, and the extradition of
criminals for other than political
offenses, are all subjects for consid
Grafton.
The completion of the Nicaragua
Canal and the guarantee of its CON
troll, free from European interior
ence, would be of incalcuable ben
eft.
We unhesitatingly condemn the
payment of bounties or subsidies to
either steamship or sailing lines,
other than the proper and generous
compensation for carrying the mail;
but recommend the relief of vessels
engaged in the trade from all
charges as far as practicable, and
the allowance of Americans to buy
foreign bottoms and sail them in
foreign only, under the American
flag; "and" the establishment of
directrapid communications between
the several interested countries for
the conveyance of mails, passengers
and goods Phil. Record.

AN EMPRESS IN THE HAREM.

BERLIN, Nov. 3-The Empress has
taken a peep at the harem of the
Sultan, and had a chat with the
seven recognized wives of the Sub
lime Porte. The several dozen of
left handed wives in the Sultan's
harem were excluded from the inter
view. The incidents of this visit,
when they are given out, will be
read with great interest.
The daughter of the Turkish Min
lister at Rome and the daughter of
Mushir Astin Pasha, both of whom
speak French, attended the En-
press 4 gorgeous kaix, propelled
by ten oarsmen, conveyed her to the
entrance to the harem gardens. The
walls OF the cabins of the kaix are
covered mirrors. The furniture is
finished IN blue velvet and gold.
The oarsmen wore garments of
white silk with gold embroideries.

AN OPEN LETTER.

The reading and answering of let
tiers from unknown correspondents
occupies large part of the time Of
every busy author; and every appre
ciative one must wish that he had
more to give to it. The impulse to
pour ones heart to stranger may
seem more or less perplexing
according to our temperaments OF
tempers; but it is too powerful an
impulse to be crushed, and often toe
pathetic not to be respected. An
instance of this kind has recently
disturbed me very much. l trust
the friendliness of the Independent
to help me out with a difficulty
which will be readily understood
when l say that l received, some
time ago, from a stranger, letter
which, by every canon of Christian
courtesy, should have been answered,
and that l have lost the letter.
With it, of course, having gone the
strangers address, l have no choice
but to communicate with her. ''if
haply l may find her." through the
public press, or leave her to form
her own opinions of the religion
and manners of her selected conf
dante.
/ choose the former course with
out apology, for the reason that the
case is one of far more than usual
interest, and reaches quite beyond
the personal relations. cannot be
mistaken in assuming that the read
ers of the Independent will follow it
with intellectual respect and quick
ened consciences.
The letter was dated, / think, from
the City of Washington, and ran
somewhat to this effect:
MY dear Madame:-I beg your
pardon for troubling you with the
private affairs of a stranger, but l
am in rare need of advice from
some one whom / trust to under
stand my motives. 1 feel sure that
you will be patient with my intru-
sion and l will tell you as briefly as
possible why make it.
Il wish to 60 to the Sandwich
Islands and take upon myself the
mission from which death recently
received Father Damien.
Il am not Roman Catholic, but
1 am a Christian, and my heart turns
to this work. 1 think have counted
the cost, and know what l am about
to do, if l undertake it l am ready
for it, if it is best to take the step.
Il may add that 1 am entirely
alone in the world, without near
claim upon me of any kind. My
aged parents have died. l took care
of them to the end, and am now
without home or kin.
Il can refer you to So and So, of
such a place, if you wish to know
anything about my antecedents or
character, and l have friends in -.
and - who can tell you what they
think of my fitness for such mis-
sion.
Il greatly desire your opinion, if
you are willing to give it to me, of
the wisdom and rightness of such
step. Will you, can you counsel me?
Il shall be grateful for your reply,
and am Yours, very truly,

The democrats have made heavy gains in

HASTINGS, Neb., Nov. Especial Tele-
gram to THE EE.I-Hastings is much excited
to-day over the rumored elopemement of r.
A. Stewart with the wife of MIR. Mosher, a
shoe dealer of this city. Stewart is prom.
nent dentist and has nice family, consist

son who fell from astelephone cable and broke
his leg about TWO months ago.
Mrs. Mosher left for Denver yes
terday noon and Stewart followed or the
midnight train. IL has been an open secret
among the knowing ones for some time that
there was an illicit deal between the pair.
A local paper recently published squib
which should have put the unsuspecting
husband upon his guard, but it only had the
effect TO hasten the departure of the guilty
pair.
Mr.. Mosher says he will not follow them
He knew nothing OF where his wife had gone
or that she was intimate with Stewart until
informed by friend.
Stewart would find this city too warm for
him If he ever returned.

and the Certainty OF
Their Election.
nnnrlas, Election.

The election in Douglas yesterday was one
OF the most warmly contested in tho annals
of the county. The vote. was comparatively
u light one. This was duo mainly TO the fact
of the light registration. Notwithstanding
all that had been published on the subject,
hundreds OF citizens failed to register, and
believed that their votes would be received
upon being offered at the polls. In this, how
ever, they we're disappointed. The closing
OF the polling places at o'clock In the even
ing also cunduced to a light vote, hundreds
of laborng men being left IN line when the
voting was brought to close.
At this writing (3:30 a. MI the returns
are still incomplete. The indications are
that all the precincts will not be heard from
until some time this afternoon.
4 OF the 81 voting districts in the the county
25 have been heard from and these give
tho candidates for the principal offices the
following votes Coburn, republican, for
sheriff, 8,065; BOYD, democrat. 4,5O6; Helm

Snyder democrat, 1902; Davis. republican.
candidate for district Judge, 3,24l; Clarkson,

case of the sheriff, at least, will most likely
increase Boyd's majority, thus electlng min

that filed to-day in the United States circuit
court by George NJ. Lyon against Albert N.
Seip TO recover Sl2s,0O alleged TO have been
lost by Lyon because OF Scip's failure in his
duties rs agent.
The facts, as set up in the pleadings, are in
substance as follows: In December last Mr..
Lyon, having great faith in the future of Du-
luth instructed his agent, MIR. Scip, 20 pur-
chase lands, In all amounting TO twenty-five
acres, which was offered by tho owners at tho
price OF $500 per acre. MIR. Sep failed to
close with this offer and the land was sold
soon after 10 other persons. In March fol-
lowing this property was again sold, bring
ing 5000 per acre.
The alleged reason for Seips failure to Sc
. cure the property Is that he could not secure
a commission from the vendor for negotlat.
ing tho sale and purchase, and therefore al
lowed the property to be sold 10 persona

the Wisconsin lppiyersity this afternoon
eliminated in the securing OF writ of pro-
hibition by the attorney OF the students,
taking the whole matter out of Judge Keyes'
court and prohibiting him from further
action in the matter. The writ is being
argued before the supreme court by Colonel
Williap Il. Yilaa,e This action will probably
result in dismissinf Sthe whole matter. The
hazing case has calsed much comment by
the state press and has caused several
students TO leave the university and seek an
education elsewhere.
