American women are law unto
themselves in the fashion of dress and of
entertainment. But the example OF
the mistress of the White House, neY-
ertheless, has influence in more ways
than one. Mrs. Cleveland's toilets
have been very minutely described.
She has never worn decollete gowns,
though half the women at the evening
receptions have, and some of their
gowns have been shockingly low. The
Presidents wife, with her innate mod
esty, wears. the pointed, or square neck,
and never low, but simply revealing the
well-rounded throat. From the long
glove to the short sleeve fingers length
of the arm is exposed when her gown
has short sleeves. There can be nc
dffectations, and but one reason iol

cut waist, and this is her own feeling
about barring her pretty shoulders afte

Some Of the CounfTJss Famous CAardcre.-
an Domestic Life.
Most Of our statesmen, says Harper s
Bazaar, have pure domestic records, and
most Of them have been ardent lovers,
and have made good husbands. Thos.
Benton was devoted to his wife, and he
says IN his thirty years memoirs that
he never attended any place of festivity
or amusement after her death. The
wife of Senator Allen, of Ohio, better
known as "Fog-H Horn" Alien, died at
Washington during the winter of 1S47.
It was before the days of a railroad to
the West, and the old Senate; carried
her corpse home to Ohio. over the
mountains, riding beside it on horse
back during the day and Watching it at
night throughout the cold, dreary jour
ney, until at last he laid it beside her
father, Governor Arthur, in the beauti-
full cemetery at Chillicothe. Stephen
A. Douglas, the little giant Of Illinois,
was twice married, and it is said that
he courted Mary Todd at the same
time that her hand was sought by
Abraham Lincoln. Miss Todd, on
being asked which of the two she in
tended to marry, replied the one she
thought had the best chance of being
President of the United States.
When Lincoln was elected this re-
mark became prophetic. Douglas af-
terward married Miss Martha Martin,
the daughter Of Colonel Robert Martin;
rich planter and slave-owner from
one of the Carolinas. She brough a
fortune, including number of slaves,
into the family, and died in 1850,
about seven years after her marriage.
A few years later Senator Douglas
married again, and this time he chose
a beautiful girl who was employed in
the departments at Washington. Her
name was Adele Cuts, and she sur
vived him, marrying again after his
decease. George Bancroft was mar
ried twice. His second wife, who died
several years ago, was very popular IN
Washington and was noted society
figure. Henry A. Wise, the noted
Virginia statesman of Tyler's day, was
married three times. His first love
was the daughter of cne of his profess
ors at college, Miss Jennings, whom
he married in Tennessee, and with
whom he went on wedding tour te
pay a visit to Andrew jackson at 1ht
Hermitage. His second wife was the
daughter of John Sergeant, the Wing
candidate for the Presidency IN 1882
Wise proposed to Miss Sergeant, 1t is
said, on the dome of the capitol al
Washington, and one oftheresults of the
marriage was John Sergeant Wise, the
Virginia statesman of the present day
John s. Wise was born at Rio Janeiro
where his father was officiating as
Minister at the time. At the moment
of his birth his father determined te
have him born under the American
| flag, and ran up dozen on differen
parts Of the consular mansion.

nor Mrs, Cleveland has ever served

might have improved them usefully and honorably
in the place God had set her"

IT will be remembered that DR.. James Camp
bell of 9Th Avenue, New York, drew up last Sep
TENDER a petition for our unfortunate country
woman, Mrs. Maybrick. He requested the wo-
men of New York city and all others who believed
her to be innocent of the crime charged against
her, to sign their Names, or send them to him that
they might be appended to the petition at an early
day. Having secured quite a number of sigma
lures the petition was forwarded to the Princess of
Wales, and she was asked to intercede for this
unfortunate woman. The following is her reply,
as it appeared in the Sun of the 18th, inst. 1t
was addressed to DR.. Campbell.
MARLBOROUGH HOUSE, PAIL MALL, S. W.T.
Goth october, 1889.
SIR: am directed to acknowledge the receipt
of a letter you have addressed to the Princess of
Wales, praying her Royal Highness to present to
her Majesty the Queen, a petition signed by over
1 900 women in the United States of America,
asking for the pardon of Mrs. Florence Maybrick.
In reply I have to inform you that the Princess
of Wales is unable to comply with your request,
as Her Royal Highness cannot in any way inter
fere with the course of justice in this country. 1
remain sir, your obedient servant,

Colonel, Private Secretary.

Plea for Woman's Enfranchisement.

From America.
l have read with interest the editorial entitled
''Plain Words on Woman's Rights" and the dis
%cussion of the same by Mrs. Henrotin and Mrs,
Peattie; also the second editorial, "More Plain
Words on Woman's Rights"
With the statements contained in this last edl-
torial, to the effect that any theory of education
that rears women to escbew marriage and child
bearing is disastrous and unnatural, and that the
hand that rocks the cradle rules the world, all
persons who have given any attention to the prob
lem of life must agree. However, the pivotal
point, the real root of the matter, is deeper than
this. The duty and office of woman is Obvious.
The question is what will tend to make women
capable of giving to the world a nobler race?
Having admitted that woman, by the right of
her motherhood, rules the world, we have only TO
look abroad on the children of men to determine
whether or no she has brought success out of her
gigantic privilege. Circling the globe with disin-
terested investigation, we find it s~warming with
people, but only a little better than Sodom of old
in the number of those embodying the qualities
that 60 to make up a noble humanity. There is
surely something radically wrong with these era
dle-rocking rulers of the world, or the ages would
noC nave come anu gone anu lelC nOCnlng better
than we see.
1t is not more men but better men that is the
crying need of the world today. And if we would
have better men, we must have better mothers.
The hybrid position of mixed dependence and
aimlessness which is accorded to women is calcu-
lated to unfit them at every point for the high and
sacred duties of wife and motherhood. That to
give women a voice in the affairs of state would,
by melting them to the consideration of broader
and more important subjects, make them more
capable of being the mothers of high-minded,
noble men and women, | believe. When every
girl is educated, as are boys, with the idea that
she must be capable in some avenue of activity to
earn her bread, then will be eradicated from the
character of women all those down tending and
belittling faults that are ever found to be predom-
inant in those occupying a dependent position.
Let us be like a bird, one instant lighted
Upon a twig that swings;
He feels it yield, but sings on, unaffrighted.
knowing he has his wings.
When every woman has the consciousness Of
being able to stand %squarely on her own feet in
the worlds commercial mart, she will then be
like the bird that sings on unaffrighted because

More particulars about the Collins Fire.
AT 3 o'clock Tuesday morning persons
who had been to the New Years ball
observed q bright light near the new
school house. On hurrying to the spot it
was found that Hon. r. L. Collins new
new residence was in flames. The fire
broke out in the Kitchen which is re-
moved from the furnace and hot air
pipes. There was little water near the
building and before those who had
reached the spot could procure water and
assistance the building was nearly de-
stroyed.
It was an elegant structure and would
have been occupied by Mr.. Collins and
family in a few days. It cost nearly six
thousand dollars. 1t had been insured
in the agency Of Phil Gibson for four
thousand dollars, which will pay part Of
the cost Of q new building.
It is generally believed thata drunken
tramp must have crawlct into the build
ing and set fire to it. Mrs. Collins
and the architect had both visited the
building the night before and left the
furnace fire out and everything about the
building safe.
