Woman's chronicle. (Little Rock, Ark.) 1888-1???, 1890-11-22

IT has BEEN claimed that among the Lady Com
missoners for the Worlds Fair there is conspic-
uous absence of those women who are most prom
inent in the womans movement. 1t is mistake,
however, to believe that woman suffrage
has not a representation, as the list shows a
few of the best workers in the cause. Among
these last is Miss Phoebe W. Couzins, one of Mis-
souri's commissioners, who is well known through
out the whole country as lawyer and lecturer.
The story of her life began in St. Louis, as she
was born in that city, where she early developed
remarkable executive ability. At eleven years of
age she entered the High School and graduated at
fifteen. In 1869 she entered the law department
of the University of Washington, and graduated
in 1871 being at once admitted to the bar of
Washington, and to practice in the courts of Ar
Kansas later to the United States District Court of
ST. LOUIS. Though she has never conducted any
important cases in court, she has had considerable
practice as counsel. Her ability as lecturer and
her devotion TO the woman suffrage cause have
won her widespread reputation, and created quite
a sensation when she was appointed to purely
executive office of honor and profit This, as
everybody knows, was her appointment as United
States Marshal for the Judicial Circuit embracing
the Eastern District of Missouri the late Justice
Samuel F. Miller being then the Judge. She had
been Deputy Marshal to her father part of the
time in which he filed the principal office, and for
the last four months of his term accomplished
nearly all his work. In July she was nominated
by Thos. B. Buene of Kansas City as Commits
sioner for the State of Missouri for the Worlds
Fair Exposition. Among the lectures which she has
delivered successfully and which have won her
the most notice, are "Some Mistakes About Eve,"
woman Without Country" "Portia at the
Bar" Building, Individual and National," "The
Old and New in Woman's Education" "Co-oper-
alive Farming" and "Anti-Monopoly." Miss
Couzins was great sufferer from rheumatism
and was for years complete invalid, during
which time she bore her Sufferings with forti-
tude rarely shown by man or woman, but she is
now almSst completely restored to health

PHARMACY, as it appears 10 some persons, seems
to be an occupation peculiarly suited for women.
Three ladies who evidently had taken this view of
it. recently entered the School Of Pharmacy at
Woman's chronicle. (Little Rock, Ark.) 1888-1???, 1890-11-22

st. Louis, Mo-, whereupon they discovered in
rather an unpleasant fashion that there was another
side to the question, and that the male students in
the college were all, with one accord, very much
upon the other side They did not approve Of
women in pharmacy and proceeded at once to hiss
and torment the lady students whenever the OPP
portunity presented itself This conduct naturally
offended the ladies greatly, but their composure
and self-control throughout the trying ordeal has
been commendable. Instead of making any per-
sonal resistance, they have made formal protest
to the officers responsible for the college, whose
interest as well as duty it is to try and convince
the students that it would be just as we'll for the
school and somewhat to their credit if they could
but assume the virtue of behaving like gentlemen.
Or the Arkansas Lady Commissioners to the
Worlds Fair, Mrs. J. P. Eagle attended their first
meeting, which took place Wednesday the 10Th
inst, in Chicago. Mrs. R. A. Edgerton being at
present visiting in Europe Mrs. Empie of New
port, her alternate, attended the meeting in her
stead. Arkansas has reason for just pride in
the selection of her lady representatives on the
Worlds Fair Commission. Mrs. Eagle, aside from
her position as The wife Gfashe governor of the
State, is woman of strkingly fine personal APP
pearance, elegant manners, cultured mind and
withal an individuality calculated to make an
agreeable impression upon any assembly, however
large and intelligent Mrs. Edgerton, though the
mother Of two full grown sons, is handsome
woman, exceedingly youthfulin appearance, highly
accomplished, being thorough and gifted musician
while her manner partakes of those qualities ofgrace,
genteness and dignity, which are said 10 form that
most desirable combination so much admired of
men, women and children, and which, having no
other words or term to better express it, we call
''womanly." Arkansas may well be proud of her
Lady Commissioners.
AMONG the annually recurring holidays none
comes to us more fraught with,pleasant memories
than the one near at hand To each and all it
speaks in some way-t tells of things enjoyed
dangers escaped, caamities averted or may be
only Of some happy day in the.ong ago, when as
children the coming Of Thanksgiving brought once
more beneath the roof-tree of the old homestead
all who by birthright were entitled to entrance
there. Like some other CUSTOMS the day has its
origin in years gone by, but we can trace its OBJ
servance in our own fair land back to times of
great peril and want. Back TO the little handful
of brave men and fearless women, who, turning
from land of peace and plenty, faced the dan
gers Of the unknown deep; who tempest-tossed
and storm-driven, landed on the barren rock
bound shore of the then almost unknown New
World To recount the privations endured in the
early history of our country, would be to repeat
an oft-told tale. To tell that with the permanent

was brought to mind by hearing young lady say
"This is my birthday, am twenty,four and un-
married." "Have a care" replied friend, who
caught the speech, 'if you remain SO another
year you will see his Satanic majesty" "No,"
chimed in another, "only his shadow. He does
not become visible in person until after you dare
to inter your thrtieth year as spinster." "Does
he not oftener put in his appearance to the woman
after marriage than before?" asked one who had
heard the conversation Those who have solved
the problem of marriage as success or failure
can better answer the question.

The huge arched station (so large that,

many acres of gloon) echoed and re-
echoed with multitndinous sounds, and,
closing your eyes, you might almost have
imagined yourself in an asy lum for de-

with the sustained uproar, distressed by
such brAzsn ciangDr, torn by so many
wild shrek. The cleaning steel rails
banded the broad, boarded space, stretch
ing in innumerable lines far across TO the
opposite wall; now running with the par
allel exactness Of copy-book now cross

seemed inextricable confusion. Long
strings of cars their windows all aglow,

on the point of leaving-this train ''iD,7
after having run all day along the shores
Of the great lakes; that ready TO plunge
into the dark Pennsylvania forests, and
hurry away, perhaps, past some flaming
oil-well into the more distant coal-fields.
People swarmed everywhere-passeneers
and employees, baggsge-men, brakemen,
and express-men. Heavy trucks over
loaded with luggage, were wildly trun1'ed

piled high with mail-bags, were reckless
