Nine. Albertine, once a well known actress
and dancer, died at New Bedford of bron-

chester, and she was born in 1851 at Stone
bridge, r. /. When a mere girl she married
a circus performer, from whom she was d.:
vorced few years later. She then wens
upon the stage, but shortly after retired for
time to learn the art of dancing under the
famous Pauline de Jardin, OF Paris. For two
years she did nothing but dance on the stage.
Then she resumed acting, and from 1850 to
1857 she was with Frank Chanfrau's com
pany. She was also in the cast with the
elder Booth at the Arch Street theatre in
Philadelphia. At the close of her engage
mept with Chanfrau she went to California
with company of her own, and from there
TO Australia, where she was uncOmmo1ly
successful in earning fame and money
In the midst OF her successes she became i'll
and began to lose her eyesight, and total
blindness ensued. Deceived by doctors, her
money and jewels gone, and friendless, she
and another forlorn woman, who had eyes
for both, walked painfully 100 miles to Bal
larat, where they were taken into an asylum.
There she remained ten years Her friends
In this country believed her dead, but liz

PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH ENTERTAIN
MENT,

In regard to the entertainment 70 be
given at the First Presbyterian church,
corner of First and Lawrence, Tuesday
evening. November II, the Louisville
Courier-J ournal says the following:
''Mr. Perry's performance was not only
thoroughly enjoyable, but highly instruct
i've, and his program illustrated the whole
field of piano music. He combines in a
singular degree the gift of easy, fluent
speech with the felicitous choice of words
that precisely express his meaning. and is
one OF the few musicians who can talk as
well with their tongues with their fin
gers Mr.. Perry played with the most ex-
Guisite delicacy of touch and was specially
happy in his Interpretation of Chopin.
His playing of the nery and impetuous clos
ing number was brilliant in the extreme.
and displayed not only a fluent and rapid
manipulation of the keys. but tremendous
strength. and when he finished the stn-
pendous climax there was perfect thun-
der of applause. There are apparently no
technical difficulties TO Mr.. Perry. His
visit to Louisville left the impression of a
delightful talker. an enthusiastic artist.
and master of piano technique; musi-
Sian so permeated with a love of his art as

SOCIAL SCIENCE.

who shall say that these women shall be
forever restrained by the law from casting
this ballot themselves
When Sir Joshua Reynolds many years
ago, was about to conclude a series OF
brilliant art lectures in the city of Lon
don. he said in conclusion: Now my
hearers, it Is my desire that the last words
spoken by me shall be the name of
that divine man, Michael Angelo" May
be excused if, in order to give something
of the same added emphasis to thought
which the great Englishman sought to
give to a name, offer, as the last words of
this rambling paper, this proposition:
Among free and enlightened people no
class which contributes to the support of
the government and which possesses the
intelligence to fully comprehend all the
duties of citizenship ought to be excluded
from participation in making and admin
istering the laws on accotnt of race, con-
dition or sex.

YOUNG PEOPLES LITERARY CLUB.

Last night large and enthusiastic meet
ing was held at the southeast class room
of the Baptist church by the Young Peo-
ple's Literary society. Its success is assur-
ed and its members are increasing from
week to week. 1t was said by one Of the
visiting ladies in attendance on the Hy-
patia convention that she had found by
investigation that there were ninety litera-
nv societies in Wichita which she consider
ed a great compliment to this city. The
multiplication of such literary organiza-
tions is commendable and all young people
should strive to profit by them.
The following program was carried out
to the delight and profit OF all who were
present:
The society was called to order promptly
at $50 with President II. S. McMichael in
the chair.
Recitation-"The Women of Mum ble's
Head" by Miss Dora Martin.
Essay-'There is Much in Little" by
Mrs. NJ. J. Benton.
Recitation-"Sparticu by F. A. North.
At this point the vice presi-
dent Miss Mamma Clegg, was call
ed to the chair to allow the
president to take part in the exercises.
A five minutes extemporaneous address
on 1.-THE Recent Election in Sedgwick
County" was then given by j. FL. Forby.
The subject was given him after he had
taken his place on the floor.
Recitation-''An Idyl of the Period" by
Miss Sadie Latham.
Recitation-''A Summer Romance" by
S. d. Lieurance.
The following question was then dis
cussed: Resolved, That American states
mauship is on the decline.
Affirmative-F. A. North, r. w. Craig,
S. ID. Lieurance. H. S. McMichael. j. II.
Forby. G. A. Gurley, Leonard Colvin, j Ohm
Morton, Mrs. Benton.
Negative-R. F. Wright, H. E. McElroy,
Mrs. T. G. Clark, j. NJ. Gurley, North
Clark, Frank Organ.
The judges decided the question in favor
of the affirmative.
Miss Cora Latham was elected vice pres
ident and G. A. Gurley secretary for the
ensuing two weeks. An interesting pro-
gram has been prepared for next Friday
evening and a discussion of the Chinese
question by competent disputants to
which all are invited.

11se Japanese Empress Evidently . Clever,
Kind Little Woman.

Tho Japanese Empress Evidently . Clevsf,
Kind Little Woman.
Her imperial majesty Is not quite on the
crest OF the wave that is bearing her hum
bier sisters onward in Japan. She was not
educated abroad or according to foreign
Ideals, and she knows only few words of
English. Her culture is highly and perfectly
japanese. The culture Of japanese lady is
very like minute and wonderful growth of
flowers W1tain ths compass Of finger ring.
She can play a tender strain on her favorite
musical instrument. She can paint with
grace and elegance. She can read the Chinese
written character, and she is perfect reposi-
tory OF social and ceremonial tradition She
car write that wonderful Japanese poetry
which 1t takes SO many years to learn. One
OF her ladies-in-waiting is styled the chief
poetess. The duties of the chief poetess are
not strictly defined, but it is understood that
she is sort Of lightning conductor for intro
ducing inspired ideas to her imperial mis-
tress, and she enjoys the privilege Of correct
ing the proofs of her majesty's poetical effu
sions
Whatever may be thought of the real PER
sonal quality of the empress sympathy with
western civilization there is no doubt of her
those movements which affect the softer sex
She encourages the education of the looming
women" who are beginning to wrinkle their
small foreheads over higher mathematics and
materia medica, and she listens with e1en-
plary uncomprehending patience to essays
upon the genius of Browning in academies
with imported instructresses. She takes an
interest in the new arts and tie new music
iol, :, 49,
Japan. She Is a devout believer in her Shinto
faith, but she looks with a pleased tolerance
on the efforts of Christian missionaries. She
often goes to the hospitals and watches with
Keen attention even the surgical operations,
while many stories are told of her kindness to
the sufferers there
Ten years ago, under the customs then pre-
vailing, the empress stared impassively into
the space Immediately surrounding the pros
trate figure of the person enjoying the honor
of presentation to her, like japanese doll
on exhibition for its ability to wink. Now
she smiles and bows, and to certain privi-
legged people she gives her hand Two cham
berains and the court physician still sit at
the door Of the state dining room, TO taste
the dishes, and to expire first in polite indi-
cation to their imperial majeSties that the
cook has put strychnire in them; but the
official banquets now begin with soup and
end with sweets, in total subversion Of the
old japanese system, which began with
sweets and ended with soup. Their imperial
highnesses occasionally go out tn dine with
some of their subjects, of sufficiently exalted
rank, but even on these occasions the cham
berlains and the court physician accompany
5heir majesties to act as tasters OF the dishes
prepared in the entertainers kitchen.-Lon-
