woMAN's WORK IN REFORM.

Mrs. Ellen j. Phinney Speaks of the Re-
cent Division OF the w. C. t. q.
At meeting Of the Congregational Club
OF Cleveland, Ohio, Mrs. Ellen j. PhiDney.
President Of the Women's Non-Partisan
National Temperance Union, delivered an
address on the subject of woman's work in
reform, in which she had something to say
IN relation to the recent division of the
Women's Christian Temperance Union.
Mrs: Phinney said:
Just sixteen years ago to-day the first
crusade band in this city left the First Bap-
fist Church and went to the most prominent
saloons to demonstrate with the proprietors
against conducting their business. A few
abandoned their business, but the most re-
fused to do SO. The need of complete or
ganization was emphasized as a means to
accomplish the end. Eyangelstic, educa-
tonal and legislative departments were
next In order, and their progress was phe-
nOmenal.
The very success proved a snare I'm

Light and delicate furniture of other kinds
is allowable here, however, such as eabi-

panels Of the doors, which are Of la cquer

NEARING THE END.
Two Weeks More Will Conclude
the First Blythe-Case Act.

The Blythe case is expected to be con-
cluded before Judge Coffey in a fortnight
The following testimony was given yester-
day:
DR.. j. II. Stallald testified that he went
to y Geary street ON the occasion of Mr..
Blythe's death. Mrs. Blythe was greatly
excited and awaited the result of his ex-
animation with anxiety. She was greatly
shocked when he pronounced him dead, and
her state was so highly nervous that he
prescribed for her. The next day she was
in highly hysterical condition. Thirteen
hours after death DR.. McNutt and himself
made thorough post-mortem examination.
Mrs. Blythe was sick for week after Mr.
Blythe's death.
When cross examined DIR. Stalard said
Mrs. Blythe had complained of the number
OF people who were coming to see her and
requested him to write notice of her unde-
sire 10 receive any one, and post it on her
door.
Elizabeth Ann Vigoureux testified that
she knew Captain James NJ. Mcdonald and
had heard that he had been frequently at
luncheon at 1609h Turk street and spent
the evening with the girls, Blythe and
Laura Mcdonald She naturally inferred
he was their father, but afterward learned
he was not. She had read the newspaper
accounts Of this trial. as she read all the
news.
Alice Edith Blythe, recalled, testified she
had never paid rent to Mr.. Blythe up to the
time of his death. She did not say to Mr..
Varney that she had left % Dupont street

speak to him that year. When Mr.. Blythe
was in health he invariably had wine at his
lunch and dinner. and when there was COM

preston, ''Callate la boca,' to Mr.. Irish en-

with him then; once afterward, on his sec
ond visit, she accompanied him to the
theater. She never spoke to DIR. Kahn in

CO.EDUCATIoN,
Olive Thorne Miller Thinks 1t Is Good
Thing for Children.

Olive Thorne Miller Thinks 1t Is Good
Thing for Children.
In recent contribution to Harper's
Bazaar Olive Thorne Miller writes:
In my judgment. it is good thing for a
little girl to attend a school where boys are
also sent. believe heartily and fully in
co-edueation. The Creator, who placed
boys and girls together in families. where
the association of brothers and sisters is
mutually helpful, knew what was best for
humanity. Wherever the experiment has
been fairly and squarely tried, results show
that school work can be carried on by
classes of both sexes with an absence of
silly self-consciousness, without premature
precocty and to the advantage of both girls
and boys.
If you want to see sickly sentimentality,
an absurd ideal of ''the gentleman" utterly
false notions of love and marriage and life
generally, so to a girls seminary, where
daughters and sisters are walled in and
guarded as though their brothers were
raging lions, seeking whom they might de-
YOUR. Also, if you want to see immortality,
bad habits, lOwnindedneSs and disresDect
for women, go to boys school where the
same policy is observed. Take note also of
another point: this system of isolation
keeps the young peoples thoughts upon
each other, leads. therefore, to clandestine
correspondence and evils of many kinds.
On the contrary. let them work together
There is no sentimental halo about the
classmate who misses in his lessons, who
blunders in his examples. There is no dis
respect and seorn of girls" from a youth
who sees them well able to hold their own,
and to stand beside if not above him in iu-
tellectual exercises. Besides this, it works
in another way almost as valuable; girls
are br0adened in their outlook on life, and
boys are refined and civilized in their man
ners. Both learn the true, the honest, the
natural way of looking at each other, and
are prepared to enter life together as they
should and must. Believe mel the Creator,
who shows wisdom in the smallest atom
that lives, did not blunder Wien lie put
boys and girls together into the arms of
one mother, to come up under one roof.

NOTES FROM THE EAST.


Extracts From Letter Written by
Eliza Putnam Heaton.
1t may surprise many people to know that
there has arisen in New York demand for
a law school for women. This demand is
perhaps natural Consequence Of the greater
responsibilities thrown upon women by
modern legislation, married women's prop
erty acts, for example, which have led them
to feel the need of a better acquaintance
with the laws by which they are governed.
EX-Judge Noah Davis said in conversation
the other day that nothing had 50 strongly
impressed him since his return from the
bench to the bar as the dense ignorance of
women in all matters in which their legal
rights were involved, and that he would
lend his name very cordially TO movement
for teaching women the laws of real estate.
the laws of will and inherItanceS, the laws
of guardianship, aud other points calculated
to be useful IN the management of every
day affairs.
An association has been formed for the
purpose OF founding law school for women.
The object of the school will not be to make
women lawyers, though students who wish
to graduate as modern Portals will not be
dissuaded; but the idea is rather to estab-
fish lecture courses for prOperty-owning
women and to enable business women, es-
pecially type writer's and stenographers en-
ployed as clerks in law Offices, to increase
their efficiency by the acquisition of prac-
teal legal knowledge.
DIR. Emily Kempin, the first woman grad
uate from the University of Zurich and the
only woman lawyer In New York, has been
giving law lectures to a class of women
since last October, but the new project is to
get basis of popular support wide enough
to win the consent Of the Board of Regents
of the New York State University to the
incorporation of school with a full law
faculty There are already thirty-fye APP
plications on file from women who wish to
be received as students. The late Chan
cellor Pierson favored the project and
Chancellor Curtis is said to be equally
favorable.
DR.. Emily Kempin, who will be at the
head of the school. should it be started, de-
liyered DarlOr lecture the other day. She
is blonde with blue eyes aud light brown
hair. She is a trifle above middle height
and of slender figure. Her face is one of
sweetness and intelligence, and as her hear
ers dubbed over with amusement while she
told them Of two bouquets that were sent
round to Swiss neighbors on the birth of
boy while one was enough to announce
girls entrance into this vale of tears, it
could be noticed that her English vocabu-
larry was full though her accent was
piQuantly foreign. Mime. Kempin is the
wife OF PresDy terrain clergyman and has
three bright children.

A CAPTAIN IN TROUBLE.
He Breaks the Seals on the Matches
without Permission.

He Breaks the Seals the Matches
without Permission.
Captain Thompson of the American
schooner Challenger has been notified by
the Surveyor of the Port to appear and
answer charge of opening the matches of
his vessel without the permission of the
Custom-house.
The Challenger arrived from Apia, Samoa,
few days ago, and her matches were, as
usual, sealed by Custom-house Inspector
Yesterday it was discovered that the seals
had been broken and five boxes of coin con-
signed Co John Parrot IL Co. taken out and
delivered TO the consignees.
Captain Thompson received permit to
open his matches, but neglected to inform
the Inspector that he was going to take
away the coin, and consequently no Custom
house officials were on hand when the seals
were taken off. The penalty for the viola
ton of this regulation is a $500 fine.
The Challenger is the vessel from which
two sailors escaped i'll an open boat when
400 miles from Samoa, ia ct which the cap
tain also neglected to enter in his log.

Young Students Body Found Floating

A Young Student. Body Found Floating
in the Ray.
The body of Santiago Regalado, student
of the Berkeley Gymnasium, was found
floating in the bay yesterday off Goat
Island.
He was last seen in this city one week
ago on Saturday. and from appearances his
body must have been in the water at least
eight days. The body was lowed by a
schooner to Channel and Sixth streets, and
removed thence to the Morgue.
Regalado was young Spaniard, the son
of wealthy coffee planter, who died re-

allowance, and on these occasions he drank

afterward. His last allowance was given
him by John III. Dieckman. the commission

guardian, about fourteen days ago, after
which he was seen in saloon.
