The Excelsior Collision-Senator Barbour
on the yictory-Hain Interferes With
the Proposed Democratic Joilification.
ALEXANDRIA, Va, November s.-When
the steamer Excelsior Of the Norfolk line,
reached here about O'Clock this morning
she looked as though she had been on
political jamboree, and had Jared badly.
III r. port whcel~hOuse was slowed III,
ali the jOiner's work in that locality
had been carried away, and several state.
rooms abaft the wheel-hOuse were smashed
i'm also. She came into collision with the
British tramp steamer Mariana about !
O'Clock last night, about five miles north OF
Old Point wharf. There were no passengers
i'm the wrecked state-rOOms, and the steam
er's hull was not injured, and little or no
damage was done 10 the other, which, ac.
cording to the captain, Davis, and The pas
sengers. was AT fault.
The ExcelsiOr's damage can be repaired
for less than $1,000.
The Gazettc's Washington correspondent
says: senator Barbour, Of Virginia, was
here today. lie says he has received a
private letter from Mr, Dupey, the Demo
cratic candidate for the Legislature in
Prince Edward county, in his State. 10 the
effect that though, according 10 tho pub
lished report, his Malone opponent was
elected, he is pretty certain that the Of
fetal returns will prove that re has been.
Prince Edward is Governor Mckinney

gratifying at the sweeping Democratic We

includes the ''kckers." who. he says, af

Ii is rumored here that privately the Pres

election in Virginia has shaken bis faith IL
the reliability OF human nature, and that ht

than he has been by those who induced hin
to believe that General Malone was the bosi

Barbour expressed the deepest regret n
what had happened at Petersburg Tuesday
night. Mr. Barbour thinks that Genera
Malone il done with Virginia politics, III

and since has
preached and lectured in most OF the
large cities OF the United States.
At present Mrs. Bowles is the non
resident pastor Of the Universalist church
at East Gloucester, Mass, while her hus-
band has charge Of the Universalist
church at Abingdon, in the same state.
In addition to her ministerial duties she
lectures in various parts OF the country
under the auspices Of this Women's
Christian Temperance union, in which
organization she has charge of the do
partment of scientific temperance. She
is also the national lecturer Of the Ameri-
can Suffrage association.
In addition TO all these duties Mrs.
Bowles still finds time to he notable
housekeeper, and is ever CHEEKY. alice
tonate wife and mother One Of her
family asserts that her sense Of humor
and unfsiling good spirits are n constant
source Of brightness in the household.
Indeed, so well ordered is her home that
among her friends and coworkers sho Is
known as the model housekeeper." One
of her most popular lectures is Strong
Minded Housekeeping" which Is an en-
bodiment OF her own experience.
Mrs. Bowlcs Is possessed Of remarkable
mechanical derterity and handles ham
mer and saw as cleverly as a rolling pin.
She is small of stature, with a strong,
magnetic face and soft curling iron gray
hair. She Is 1.-the and full Of nervous
energy, and in speaking Is not only en-
thusiastic and eloquent, but is clear and

be given her. The counsel Of the quaint
old preacher was: "Do not speak at any
place where man is preaching at th'
same time, lest you draw away hi
hearers" Lin all that she undertakes
Mrs. Bowles is prompt and incisivos ane
in private life is as constant in goot
works as she is able in public, in inspir
ing others to all worthy endeavor.

found cedar tree with rats nest in IL.
They managed TO light fire with this.
During the second night one Of their horses

CHICAGO. Nov. Tho Rev. Ada c.
Bowles comes from the sturdy stock OF
New England, which gave to tho repub-
lie its educational system. She was born
in Gloucester, Mass, in 1885. She
grew up with passionate fondness for
the sea and is, as she has always been,
equally at homo either in or on the
water. She is an expert swimmer, and
her undaunted courage and rare pres
ence Of mind have enabled her upon
different occasions to rescue persons
from drowning.
Nature gave her sound mind In q
sound body, and her early life among
the rocks Of Cape Ann gave her the well
balanced physical development which
resulted in a perfectly healthy woman
hood. Acquiring rapidly and With ease
all that was taught in tho public schools
of Gloucester, she was yet wholly unsat-
isfied with her attainments and pushed
forward with different studies by her
self. At the age OF IS she began to
teach in the public schools. She contin-
ued in this vocation until she was 2e,
employing, meanwhile, such leisure as
she could command in study and In
writing for the press. She then married
a popular clergyman, Rev. Is. +. Bowles,
pastor Of the Uniyersalist church, at
Melrose. Mass.
Although by this marriage she became
the stepmother of three children and
later the mother of three more, she still
found time for variety Of church work,
including teaching an adult Bible class.
Her success with this class led her to
deeper theological study. under the di-
rection of her husband. Mr.. Bowles Is q
man who recognizes in his wife talent
ed human being, possessed of ability II
no. identical, at least equal with his
own. He desired that his wife should
be in all things his companion, and after
having given her thorough course In
theology, he encouraged her to preach
the gospel, which she had long felt called
TO declare.
She began in 1869 by supplying vacant
pulpits in New England. In 1872 she
was licensed to preach, and in short
time she was called to the Universalist
