well.Paid Literary Women.
-


Somebody said the other day, at would
be interesting to call convention of the
best-paid literary women of New York
A good-sized hall would be required to hold
them. Within month have been told
that Mrs. Mary Mapes Dodge, OF s. Nicho-
las, was the best-paid literary woman IN
this city, and quite as po>iuvely was / as
sured that Mrs. Margaret e. Sangster, of
Ha,per's Bazaar, was that 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.
Observation-Disclosures swear she Is Mrs
Mary E. Bryan, of whom her native 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 Dab"
of babble fame, who has probably the Wild
est circle OF admiring readers in these
United States. In private life BAD is Mrs.
Malion, the widow of British officer, but
born and raised down South. Sheis tall
ism woman, slender but round, one of those
paradoxical creatures who. without a single
good feature, yet manage as whole to be
adorably handsome Dab" has faultless
taste and dresses exquisitely. Her screeds
are readily salable. even in the deadly dull
ness of midsummer.

says transcontinensaI line now estab-

The passage Of Behring strait is the only
apparent obstacle, and the objections are
that the strait Is within the Arctic circle
and the distance intervening between the
American and Siberian shores is consider
able But these objections present no very
dimcult problems. The strait is only forty
eight miles IN width. with Dromede island
nearly midway. Bridges little more than
twenty miles long on either side of the
island would make the connection.
The water has shallow soil bottom, in
no place exceeding q depth of forty feet.
The warm current of the Japan stream
passes through the straits into the Arctic
ocean and has uniformly mild temperar
ture Al the year round. The strait is al
ways open, icebergs are unknown. Thus
nature offers her assistance, and there are
no mechanical obstacles to the construction
OF the bridge required.

ENGLAND's ROYAL WOMEN.
Their Reputation for Good Looks Is Sale

Tnefr Reputation FOR Good Looks Is Said
to BE Undeserved.
London Letter to Philadelphia Times.
What fiction IL is to talk about the
beauty Of any member of the English roy al
family There could not be more COM
monplace lot of women. The Princess of
Wales is slender almost to emaciation;
her eyes would be dull but for the
makeup which surrounds them; her
cheeks are rouged, and a wig always
covers her head. which. l am given
to understand, is completely bald.
She has little If any bust, she limps as she
walks, and she is almost stone deaf; so,
one way and another, ii is rather sickenlng
to read the mass of gush that is to be read
daily IN the English newspapers about the
beauty. ETC., OF England's future queen.
she Is. no doubt, an accomplished, ami
able, virtuous woman, but In appearance
she is an absolutely commonplace and al
together uninteresting person.
All three OF the Princesses of Wales have
indifferent teeth, bad compilations and
wretched figures. Nobody would look at
them twice but for their exalted position.
The daughters of the Princess Christian are
equally plain-looking, and there is no
promise OF beauty in he young daughters
of the Duchess OF Edinburg. As for Prin-
cess May of Teck. who has so often been
dCSSiibCu a. a Ucdutys dii snc can cl8lm 10
possess is passable figure and good eyes.
Her face, however. is spoiled by the way
in which her upper lip protrudes, and by
nose which suggests an Hebraic strain
somewhere or other in the family.
Oh the many Wanted beauties of London
society only the Duchess of Leinster would
perhaps pass as a lovely woman all over
the earth. Lady Londonderry also comes
under that head. and so does Miss Wolse-
ley, the young daughter of General Wolse-
ley, who made her debut this year.
Lady Dudley is now completely passee and
is as much made up as an opera bouffe
prima donna. ALI the duchesses are plain
looking women; even the two American
duchesses, Marlborough and Manchester,
are too far beyond their youth to claim
affiliation with Venus.
The Duchess of Portland looks like
well-fed dairymaid. and the Duchess of
Newcastle bears marked resemblance to
younger edition of Mrs. Cleveland. The
dowager duchess OF Montrose is a sight for
the cops, with her flaxen wig and canary
colored garments, not to mention her enor-
NOUS proportions She certainly would
not be permitted to enter fashionable
New York hotel until her rank had been
explained
The Duchesses of Rutland Leeds. Cleye.
land and Richmond are old women, while
the Duchesses of Abercorn. Hamilton.
Argyll and Westminster are absolutely
plain and undistinguished.

EZETA CALLS TIME.
Central America will Resume

AL THE STATES TO FIGHT
Peacemakers Can DO Nothing With
Dictator Barillas-Mexico Main
taining Strict Neutrality.

CRY or MExlco. Aug. lit is probable
that hostilities have been renewed in
Central America, as the armistice is at an
end. The Guatemslan army is being
strongly reinforced. 1t Is believed that
Costa RIGA and Nicaragua will join Salvs-
dor, and that Honduras viii unite with
Guatemala.
A private dispatch received here from
Salvador says that DR.. Zaldivar. president
of Salvador before Menendes, paid each
year to Barillas. president of Guatemala,
$4,000. General Menendez, who by rev.
olution overthrow Zaldivar and made him.
self president, continued to pay this large
tribute. The provisional government of
Ezeta. il is said, refused TO pay this, and
thereby rosed the eof BariIias and caused
the war.
SAN SALVADOR, via La Libertad. Aug. IL.
Reports from the frontier say that yester-
day Guatemalan troops fell to fighting
among themselves. The result was a mu-
tiny. and the troops finally abandoned their
position.
CITY OF Mexico. Aug. 17.-Dispatches
from Guatemala say that President Bar
riilas yesterday received the MEM
bers Of the diplomatic corps
of peace. He responded that the only
terms were the retirement of Ezeta
from the government OF Salvador and the
re-establishment OF the state of affairs ex-
listing prior to the death of Menendez; that
Salvador treat Honduras and Guatemala as
allies and not foster rebellion against either
government.
Governor Carracosa, of Chiapss, tele-
graphs that the Mexican forces have been
active in preventing the crossing OF Next
cans and Guatem alan refugees into Guaie-
mala with revolutionary intent, but a num-
Der of Mexlcans have gone to Salvador,
where they are offering their services
against Guatemala.
President Diaz has ordered the authori-
ties of the frontier to exercise strict vigi-
lance to preserve neutrality toward Saliva
dor.
1t is rumored that President Ezeta will
open hostiiities tomorrow.
SAN Francisco, Aug. 1.-THE recent
Central American mail brought letters
DR.. George w. Cool, formerly well-known
physician in this city, who has been in
Guatemala during the past year.
He says proclamation has been issued
that all men who were not ready for mill
tary duty would be shot. Nearly all the
men who first went to the front
have been been killed in battle with
the Salvadorians. If Ezeta marches
to the city, the letter says: "He will prob
ably sack the town. Americans are safe,
for they receive protection at the lega-
ton. Every servant, even those on
the coffee plantations. has been
drafted into the army, and there are not
enough left to supply food. Provisions
bring enormous prices. Business is
at q standstili. and the city is under mar
tial law. Twenty Americans and as many
Germans and French offered their
services to the Barillas. but
they were refused. About 25,O00
soldiers have already left the city for the
frontier. Men are attracted to public en-
fertainments and then are seized by the
police and drafted into the army.

New York, Aug. 1.-THE Armenian
colony in this city has forwarded a petition
TO President Harrison for his consideration.
The petition calls attention to the condi-
ton OF the Armenians under Turkish mis-
rule, and while conceding that the United
States cannot forcibly interfere, formulates
. hope that strong expression of Ameri-
can indignation. particularly with his OFF,
cial sanction, would make profound I'M
preston on the public opinion of Europe
and lead to active Intervention OF those
Christian powers which are pledged to
mend Turkish disagreement of Armenia.
The petition recounts the horrors perpe-
trated by Turks upon Christians in Arme-
MIA. IAN pretense of restraint" it says,
"has been laid aside by the Turkish saw
ages, and the only hope of Armenia is in
God and her Christian friends"

LONDON, Aug. ia dispatch from
Buenos Ayres to the Times says: The min
lister of finance has declared that the gov

1t is intended to cancel the law
the emission of 500 0oo. 900 for in hypoth-
ecatory notes. Whatever emission may be
decided upon, it will be relatively
small and will be supervised by
a committee including the leading foreign
bankers, who,will also supervise the with
drawal of the emission when confidence
has been restored. Senior Lopez hopes in a
year to have the entire finances on sound
working basis.
1t is reported that the government is
seeking means to compensate shareholders
of the National bank for losses in

and is trying to place the bank in
sound position without liquidation. The
overdue bills of Cordova bank are said to
