The Pan-American Southern Junket4ng
Trip Declared OF.

Trip declared Ou.
WASHINGTON, April 21.-The Secretary
of State this morning telegraphed Cap
tain Burke, in charge of the special train
that is carrying the Pan-Americans on
their southern tour, to return to Wash
ington from Richmond. This is done
because SO few delegates desired to make
the excursion.
Thirteen of the foreign delegates ac-
cepted the invitation, but only two of
them, DR.. Silva and DR.. Bezarra,
left Washington with the party. The
others sent letters of regret, giving vari-
Gus reasons for withdrawing their ac-
ceptances. The Secretary of State de-
cided that those going would not justify
the expense.
The Secretary said tonight he sin
cerely regretted that the citizens of the
South who had made preparations to
entertain the delegates, had to be disap-
pointed The foreign delegates are CRATE
full for the hospitality extended to them
and very much regret they cannot ac-
cept it.

Bavarian patents; the last reissue OF his
patents was therefore invalid; conse-
quently the Fairbanks company are not
infringers.

Patrick Henry, during the most active

t)ned house, where lac loved to exercise
generous hospitality.
The country home Of John jay was at
Bedford, about forty-four miles from New
York, in one Of the most delightful local
tiles in the fertile county of WeStchester.
Monticello" the home of Thomas Jeffer-
son, WAS located in one of the most beauti-
full regions of Virginia, and seemed de-
signed by nature as haven Of rest for the
tired philosopher and statesman
The home of Alexander Hamilton, called
the Grange" was situated on the old
Kings Bridge road, ahOnt eight miles from
the center of New York city, and was at
that time completely IN the country.
The rural home of John Quincy Adams
was at PENIS Hill. He once wrote: Il had
rather build a stone wall on Penn's Hill
than be the first prince of Europe or the
first general or first senator Of America"
The great Kentucky statesman, Henry
Clay, was well acquainted with agricult-
ural matters and loved TO be surrounded
by his friends and neighbors st Ashland"

ton, KY.
Gen. Andrew Jackson was a good farmer
and overlooked the work of his country
homestead. He saw that the fields and
fences were in good order, the stock well
attended and the negroes comfortably pro-
vided for.
After the revolution, when Washington
lived quietly at Mount Vernon as country
gentleman, he was vigorous farmer and
a tobacco planter He declared that the life
of husbandman of all others was the
most delightful; it was honorable, anus
ing. and, with judicious management, it
WAS profitable.

4 Sioux FaIIs CIerCrwoman.

CHICAGO, Sept. l6.-Rev. Eliza Upper
Wilks has devoted herself chiefly to mis-
sionary work in newly settled sections.
She first prepared herself to 90 as a mis-
sionary TO India under the auspices of the
Baptist Foreign Mission society, but a
short time before she set forth she changed
her theological views and determined to
enter the Unitarian ministry.
Mrs. Willls is a native OF Maine. How
ever, as her family removed to Iowa when
she was but "a child, she was brought up
amid the surroundings Of pioneer life.
Her parents were particularly active in
religious work, and she received valuable
training for the work in which she has
been so successful in the mission schools
which they organized and conducted while
Iowa was yet a frontier state.

REV. ELIZA TUPPER wILKs

After graduating from the University Of
Iowa Mrs. Wilks declares that she had no
choice but to preach, as an inner voice
seemed continually to say, Woe is me if
preach not the gospel of great tidings'
Her marriage at the age of ~ to brilliant
young lawyer did not interfere with her
work, and her early training, eXhaustless
vitality and tie fact that her home has for
the most part been on the frontier have
made her the most successful planter and
upbuilder Of churches OF any woman in the
ministry. For some years Mrs. Wilks has
been the pastor of Unity Unitarian church,
at Sioux Falls. :. d., and under her pas
torate il has rapidly increased in member
ship and influence. This, however, is by
no means her only work, for she Is also the
inspiring spirit OF several missions estab-
lished ia the vicinity OF Sioux Falls.
She is the mother of five children, the
eldest Of whom is Is and the youngest
years Of age, and she says that she has
never failed TO devote several hours each
day TO them. Her children are a charming
group Of telligcnt. well bred young folks,
and her husband is devoted 10 her. In
deed, IL may be said Of the Rev Eliza Wilks
as William Winter said OF RIstOri, BY
her life she rebUkes the idle and petty
theory that a woman cannot devote herself
&c an independent pursuit without sacri-
fcing the sancuty Of her home, for in 50
laboring she never neglected the least OF
the duties Of private Life"

Especial Correspondence
NEW YORK, Sept. 4.-Ten or twelve
years ago it was much more difficult to
get society news than it is now. There
were very few, if any, trained female
reporters, and the men who were will
ing to do such work were generally a
very poor lot. At one time we had
curiously ignorant fellow Of unbounded
industry and most admirable impudence
to assist in this work. He got facts in
an almost embarrassing quantity, and
these were written up for him after he
returned to the Office. He walked up
and down Fifth and Madison ave
nues every afternoon during the enter
tanning season, and wherever there was
an awning over the sidewalk he would
go in, and by hook or by crook learn all
that there was to be learned. He did
not in the least look like a reporter
that is, like the popular idea of report
er-and he could with entire gravity as
sumo any character that for the moment
would suit his purpose. His object was
to see the mistress Of the house. Then
he assumed his character of reporter
If she objected to giving him any facts
he would argue the point with her until
she saw the matter in the proper light,
and came to the conclusion that if any
thing We're to be said it were better that
it should be accurately said
When Gen. Garfield was to be in
augurated as president this man was
sent to Washington to assist In the prep
aration Of ihe account of the inaugural
ball. The telegraph at that time was
not used as extensively as it now is. and
an effort was usually made to get as
much of the material by mail In ad-
vance as possible. This society reporter
was asked to get descriptions OF the
dresses which ladies of prominence
would wear at the ball AS soon as
Gen. and Mrs. Garfield reached Wash
ington our reporter called on the presl-
dent elect. and said he wanted TO get
description of the dress Mrs. Garfield
was to wear at the ball The general
said the dresses We're not unpacked. The
reporter departed and called again. The
dresses were yet unpacked. Again and
again he called, always to be put off.
At length he caught the general and said
to him in his breezy way;
See here, general, you are busy and |
am busy; it would save time for both of
Us if you would let me see that dress
now"
Gen. Garfield evidently recognized the
truth Of this. and took the reporter at
once to Mrs. Garfeld's apartments, where
the dress was displayed and the reporter
dismissed A few moments later he ell
tered the Washington office of his news
paper wearing an expression of great dii'
gust. The correspondent knew Of the
frequent visits to Gen. Garfeld's hotel.
and said with a smile:
well, you have not seen Mrs CAT
fields dress yeti"
"Oh, yes. have" said our reporter,
in a contemptuous tone, and it amt
nothing but a 500 dress, nohow."
