is true that people do not usually spy out new

OUR NEW YORK LETTER.
NEW YORK, July 5, 1890.

NEW YORK, July 1890.
Editor Womans Chronicle
While the fire-cracker exists, patriotism can
never die. 1t is safe to conjecture that juvenile
New York has its fingers and thumbs and eyes
done up in linen rags this morning the same as in
preceding years. While the municipal mother is
sued mandate that no fre-crackers were to be
touched off within the city limits, yet her children
must have discovered an expression in her eye that
told them she did not expect to be obeyed. Ger
tain it was, New York was pandemonium yester-
day-the air was full of gunpowder-and even the
year-old baby in the perambulator threw torpedoes
with fiendish glee that In view Of the fact that
his enthusiasm is apt to increase in proportion to
size, the result is perous to contemplate.
The "Little Lord Fauntleroys" in the block for
got their erstwhile occupation of catching on ice
wagons while dearest was not looking, and grew
more frowsy as to his curls in the overlooking Joy
of the audible cannon fre-cracker. To sum it all
up, the juvenile and the deaf-mute are the only
two classes of beings who can be said to enjoy and
approve of the Fourth
The day brought no relief to the starving cloak
makers, who have been several weeks on strike.
An lncipent riot took place in one of the stores
the other day, in which employers were beaten
with umbrellas. The most these people are able
to earn is four dollars week; and families are to
be supported on this pittance. A press reporter
mentions one poor woman with five children who
had but twenty-five cents for provisions in several
days, and her husband locked up in the station
house for assault.
JOY jostles elbows with sorrow, and plenty with
poverty in this great city. poor woman with
her babe in her arms was found floating in the
river the other morning. and letter from her hus-
band said he and his wife had decided to put an
end to life by suicide. Letters left to friend re-
vealed the fact that he was foreigner of educa-
ton and ability, though ostracised socially, sup
posedly on account of his marriage to one bis
inferior; and while the sympathy of the press is
extended to him IN his Indebtedness and struggle
with poverty, it seems to me that the silence of
that mute mother speaks in louder terms as her
rigid arms were unclasped from the body of her
child folded to her breast in the embrace of death.
Who shall tell of her agony, her sacrifice, her
silent struggle. Yet who can plead a cause as the
heart doth plead it.
Chauncey Depew in q recent speech before the
Young Women's Christian Association, said:
"Women love to suffer; they suffer better than
men," This seems to be the keynote of great
deal of the misery in the world. Lack of self
respect in women. Half loaf is better than
none, says wsmankind the world over. The woman
reformer points significantly to the whole loaf and
suggest-my sisters, the whole loaf is as much
your portion as any ones demand whole loaf as
man does and you will stand some chance; if
half loaf is all you ask it is all you will get.

The committee on permanent organization last

A sANIrARIUM for poor children is being erected
at Bath Beach by Mrs. W. W. Astor. The cottage
is of Georgia pine, octagonal in shape, and will
cost $4,000. sThe poor we have always with YOU"
There can be no doubt but as those words were
uttered Christ turned His face in the direction of
the womans corner. The charge was accepted,
and slowly but surely the threads of that sacred
guardianship are being taken up, and women are
adopting the poor, especially the poor children, as
their wards in Christ.
WE are glad to clip the following notice from
many persons capable of reasoning are thinking for
themselves on the woman question. Almost every
woman claims that equal pay for equal work should
be given, regardless of sex, yet but few, compar-
atively speaking, realize that this is one of the
fundamental principles of the movement now agi-
tating the land in her favor:
"The Columbus o. Board of Education has decided that
there shall hereafter be distinction between the salaries
men and women teachers in the public schools"
IT has often been affirmed that ''woman Is wom-
ans worst friend" While not admitting the truth
of such a statement, one who firmly believes in
the sex is often annoyed at the foolish manner in
which women who write to please, will catch and
hold up for public criticism the foibles and folies
of some of the sex. Not content with presenting
the bare facts in any particular case, each minute
detail is given, every thoughtless movement lack
ing grace, the expression of the face and eye the
snatches of conversation, in short everything that
can produce aripple of emotion or cause the faint
est tremor of excitement is eagerly sliced and
dilaed upon, until the actor or actors would fail to
recognize the scene portrayed in its exaggerated
dress When will women learn to conceal as care
fully as men do the shortcomings of each other.
When will they cease to pamper to the morbid
tastes of the public eye and ear? Are there not
better themes for them to write upon? Cannot
they 'Babble" about something else; something
more sutable or are their minds so shallow that
they fail to recognize the nober, grander charac-
terstcs of the sex, those more oveable traits with
which most women are richly endowed by nature.

The Funeral of Cardinal Newman Most
Impressive in all Its Details.
An Eminently Distinguished Congregation

The Great churohman Buried.

The Great Churchman Buried.
Special to the Gazette.
LONDON, Aug. 19.-Ths funeral OF
Cardinal Newman which took place in
the Oratory at Edgbaston, Birmingham,
to-day was the most impressive burial
service that has occurred in England for
many years. An eminently dis
tingulshed congregation was present and
notwithstanding the fact that admission
was obtained by ticket only, the church
was filed to its utmost capacity. The
services occupied two hours and Its
severe simplicity served to heighten its
grandeur. A Gregorian mass was
rendered by selected choir. Included
in the great number of mourners present
were a body of 100 priests and fifteen
bishops who occupied appropriate places
at the altar. There were also present a
number of the clergy men of
the Church of England, representatives
of Oxford university and other religious
and educational institutions. The clos
ing ceremonies at the grave were of q ia
miliar character, only chosen ones being
present. Immense crowds of people con-
gregated about the church and in the VII
cinity of the cemetery, and added great
~ to the solemnity of the occasion by
their respectful demeanor.

The news of an impending crisis in
Uruguay caused q ripple of excitement

cline in securities of that republic. Ma
tional bank shares fell steadily through
out the hours of business, and closed at
figure very much lower than that OF the
opening. Other South American sscuri-
ties were somewhat affected, but as they
were rather spariugly dealt in, their de-
cline was Insignificant.

WASHINGTON Aug .19.-In order to give
Hoar and other senators time to complete
the preparations of their speeches on the
subject, MIR. Quay consented this morn
ing to his resolution going over till to-
morrow. The assumption is that Hoar
will offer his amendment to the resoIu-
ton, and Will deliver the speech he would
have made on the Federal election bill.
Other advocates of the measure
who are provided with speeches
will deliver them on this occasion.
Some of them, whose anxiety has pre-
vented them from accepting the defeat
of the election bill as assured by the
course of events during the past three
weeks, regard the fact of the advocates
of the measure wanting to speak at
length on the subject at this time as an
indication that they have given up all
hope of passing the bill at this session,
and that they accept this as their last
chance to have their say. 1t is under
stood the discussion of the resolution will
be one-sided, as Its friends on the Re-
publican side have no more desire to con-
sumo any more time in its consideration
than is absolutely. necessary, and the
Democrats prefer to say nothing at all.

CARDS talking as waste of

the proposition to postpone the
Federal election bill began to develop
among the Republicans IN the house and
an effort is being made in certain d.
rectiouS to counteract the criticism of
Quay which his resolution at first pro-
voked. The advocates of postponement
have begun to whisper about in the
house that some such course as that of
Quay was necessary to secure the pas
sage of the tariff bill before November.
They are urging that the interests of the
party and OF the country demand the
prompt passage of the Mckinley bill
