Well Paid Literary Women.

Somebody said the other day, cit
would be interesting to call a conven-
ton of the best paid literary women of
New York;" A good-sized hall would
be required to hold them. Within a
month have been told that Mrs. Mary
Mapes Dodge. of st. Nicholas, was the
best paid literary woman in this city.
and quite as positively was | assured
that Mrs. Margaret E. Sangster, OF Har-
per's Bazaar. was the lucky person.
Again she is said to be Mrs. Mary Kyle
Dallas. and in another paragraph Mrs.
Amelia E. Barr is announced as the one.
Out-of-town letter writer's swear she is
Mrs. Mary f. Bryan, of whom her ma
tive South is so justly proud. One or
two syndicate men declare that she is
Mrs. Ella Wheeler Wilcox, and several
persons who ought to know, aver that
she is Mrs. Frank Leslie. About the
latest claimant is "Bab," who in private
life is Mrs. Mallon, the widow of Brit
ish officer, but born and bred down
South. She is a tallish woman, slender,
but round-one of those paradoxieal
creatures who. without a single good
feature, yet manage as whOles to be
adorably handsome. "Bab's" screeds
are readily salable, even in the deadly
dullneSS of midsummer.

MONEY AND MUSCLE.

All that the public can do is to grin
and bear it while the forces under Mr..
WEBB and Mr.. PowDERLY respectively
fight the great battle between capital
and labor. The war is on, and in ear
nest. The action of the labor leaders at
Terre Haute last night leaves no
further room for compromise: They
have accepted the gage Of battle prof
fered by the VANDEBILTs, and now it
is to he determined which is the might
Ter force, money or muscle.
In the meantime millions of dollars
will be wasted, traffic will be inter-
rupted, trade will be paralyzed, COM
merce locked, industries Frustrated,
and an innocent public subjected to
losses and inconvenience of every
description. 1t is shame that there is
not craftsmanship enough in the Amer
lean congress to have prevented this
calamitous state of affairs. The gov
ernment is possessed of the power to
have averted it, but the men who do
the legislating are either too coWardly
or too Indifferent to the public welfare
to exert that power.
Congress fritters its time away con
sidering unnecessary tax laws and cleo
ton bills while the more important So
cial and economic questions are ig-

THE SEVEN WONDERS.


A correspondent asks the GLOBE to
name the seven wonders of the world.
That would be an easy matter if the in
Quiry were confined to the seven won
derS of by-gone age as they have been
classified by ancient writer's: but it is
difficult task to reduce the wonders of
modern achievement to the number
seven. The hanging gardens OF Babylon.
the brazen gates of 'Thebes, the Colos-
sus of Rhodes, the Alexandran light
house, the sphinx and the pyramids all
sink into insignificance by comparison
with the Eitfel tower, the Bartholdi
statue, the Brooklyn bridge, the New
York aqueduct and other feats of mod
ern engineering and architectural skill.
The construction Of the Suez canal,
the building of the Pacific rail
roads across the Rockies, the removal
of the distractions at He'll Gate,
the Mississippi jetties, are all featS of
engineering skill that the builders of
the Roman way never dreamed of. Yet
inventions, rather than engineering or
architecture, represent the most wonder
full progress of modern civilization. The
inventor is entitled to the front rank,
because his achievements contribute to
the happiness OF mankind, and thus
have permanent virtue. The seven
wonders of the Old world are but so
many relics of pride, folly and oppres-
sion. They arose in obedience to no re-
Quirements of beneficent nature, and
brought not a single blessing to man
kind. The practical good that the in
Yentor of modern times has done will
give him sure place on the shining list
of those whose names are immortal.
while the name of the builder of the
pyramids is forgotten.
The real wonders of the world have
ceased to be wonders by reason of our
familiarity with them. Yet, if we are
called upon to make list of seven we
do not know that we could prune it
down better than to name the printing
press, the telegraph, the steamboat. the
railway, the self-binding reaper, the
photograph and the telescope. Then
another seven might be added, includ-
ing the spinning jenny, the sewing ma
chine, the cooking stove, the phono-
graph, the telephone, the typewriter
and the typesettcr. And thus we might
20 Oh multiplying until we named seven
Tires seven wonders that would eclipse
III the marYelS of the old ages.

APPOINTMENT and enthusiastic preach
er is recalled who, in all the exciting
passages of the war, visited the tele-
graph office OH Sunday morning and re-
ceived the latest information to be had
for use in his pulpit deliveries. He WIS
sometimes able to surprise his hearers
with news, and his audiences were
larger in this expectation. Sunday pa
pers were rare then, and not available
in this case. This opportunity, it may
be conceded, the Sunday paper has now
anticipated. Still the pulpit may initiate
attractive periods with striking secular
events in passing history. In some
Eastern cities a prologue of this char
acter ranks with the music.

AN OBSERVER at recent large gath
ering of Germans claims to have noted
that the AUGMENTATION in physical
way was very apparent. The tradi-
tional Teutonic type, with its aaxen
hair and blue eyes and fair complexion,
was conspicuously modified. The dark
hair and dark eyes were frequent. His
theory is that all the nationalities that
form tine growing population of this
country are gradually fusing into a
distinctive American type. This is not
fully developed, but will be modified
and shaped by the divergent elements
that enter the composition.

Dixey's
Troubles.

says the New York
World. His little wife is suing him for
divorce and his summer season III Chi
cago has ended in disaster. His new
play OF '.Rip" was failure. When
DiXey left Rice and started upon the
raging dramatic sea in his own boat it
was very generally expected that he
would fetch up on rock. He is a
bright comedian, but he needs strong
hand He is generous to a fault, and
worst of all, he hasn't particle of bust
ness sense or training. He knows moth
ing of the value of money, and his
gaming instinct is deep-seated. Be-
sides, he has fondneSS for pretty girls,
and the temptations of a burlesque COM
pany are numerous and constant.
When DiXey swung loose from Rice
he took up as business manager young
Barclay Warburton, Philadelphia
dude, who was supposed at one time to
be very rich. A handsome, goodna-
tured fellow, fond of clothes, mixed
drinks and sport, he naturally fascin-
ated DiXey. 1t is said that WarburtOn
first attracted social attention in Phila-
delphia by walking down Chestnut
street one day with Mrs. Langtry and
dog. The dog belonged to Warburton.
There was talk and WarburtOn became
an entity. He drifted to DiXey and his
troupe of hobbledehoys. and is to-day
the business man of the company. Ii
Mr.. Dixeyhad looked through the coun-
try from Boston to the Belize for
young man to pilot him to the shores of
bankruptcy he could not have found a
more appropriate youth than Warbur-
ton.
Barclay Warburton's capital, when he
became the impressario for ''AdoniS"
Dixey, was $4,000, which his father
gave him, report says, and the reputa-
ton of looking like young Greek
god" The ridiculous report that Mrs.
Dixey was Edward E. Rice's daughter
he has only one, and she at a very
early age married young Tetft, of Tefft,
Weller IL Co.-renders it none the less
proper to say that the friends of both
Rice and Dixey date the misfortunes of
the latter from the time when he began
to be weaned from the former. If Rice
didn't make" DiXey, they say, who
and what did? When "Adonis" was at
its height of money-making and Dixey
was drawing for his 25 per cent share of
the gross receipts from $500 to $1,000
week, the man for whom he gave Rice
up was hanging about the stage door OF
theaters. Young Warburton's father is
the proprietor of the Philadelphia Even
ing Telegraph, and is a highly respect
able old gentleman.

elected woman, Nine. ALEXANDRA
ELYNE, to the office of mayor. This is
not Russian habit. Women are not
likely to be elected to Office there, but
the reasons assigned for her election
suggest those given by M. n. JOHNSON,
in North Dakota, for being nominated
for congress. She announced in her
platform that she was the one woman
in the community best fitted for the
place, and to defend and maintain the
interest of the citizens. JOHNSON stated
that he had monopoly of the endow-
ments needed for congressman.
Whether his assurance will be so readily
taken by the people as was that of the
Russian woman will be seen later.

Jack Chinn's
Knife.

knitted THURMAN Nc
Knife. Cabe, of Kentucky,
lew nights ago with-
what the reports called his "bowie." is
known personally to many st. Paulites,
especially those familiar with the race
track, and is an interesting character.
Mr.. Chinn'S knife is the exact fellow of
the one with!whieh Col. Cassius Goodloe
slashed 10 death another prominent
Kentuckian in the Lexington postoffice
some months ago, which knife was pre-
sented to Col. Goodloe by Mr.. Chinn.
Mr.. Chinn has no patent on his
knife, which he wears casually in
his right-hand vest pocket and uses
as nOnchalantiy as he would tooth
pick, but nnobody who has ever
seen or felt it could mistake it for a
bowie. 1t opens with slight twist of
the wrist and its heavy tiye-inch, razor
edged blade flies forward to an adver-
sary like streak of well-greased light
ming along a Soap-wood tree. Mr.. Chinn
advised Col. Goodloe, whose hand
trembled slightly from stroke of palsy,
to abandon the effort to hold pistol
steady and try the old reliable Chinn
knife. The result of Col. GOodloe's pur-
suit of his advice is fresh in the minds
of men and in the Lexington graveyard.
Col. Chinn, who lives at Harrodsburg,
KY, and is about forty-five years old,
can tell as good a negro dialect story as
anybody he meets.

The Hyde-Hyde wedding at Ware.


The following item in regard to
one of our island boys is from the
Springfield (Mass.) Daily Repub-
lican:
The marriage of Miss Lucy R.
Hyde, second daughter of William
S. Hyde, president of the Ware
national bank, and Henry Knight
HYDE, cashier of the national bank,
was celebrated last evening at the
brides home on Maple street in that
town, and was the center point of
attraction for over 200 guests, most
of them from out of town. 1t was
q charming wedding. Delicate flow
ers adorned the rooms and Railways
of the house, and Ingraham's
orchestra of Worcester stationed in
front of the house, furnished sweet
music. The ushers were DR.. r.
Leslie Carson, f. j. Fessenden of
New York, G. B. Knight of Troy. n.
Y. and A. T. Stafford of Boston.
Messrs. Fessenden and Stafford were
members of the groom's class and
society at Williams college, where
he was graduated in 1887. The
trademarks were Misses Maude l.
and Mary j. Johnson of Milford and
Misses Bessie and Sylvia Hyde
sisters of the bride The officiating
clergymen were Rev. DIR. G. NJ. Hyde
of Honolulu and Rev. Dr. A. E. P
Perkins of Worcester.
