wrote several months since letter
to the women OF West Virginia, urging
them to come forward and unite In max
ing fine exhibit of women's work at
the Worlds Fair in 1898. now address
them again hoping that my efforts to
animate their interest will not prove a
failure.
/ wish to call their attention to the
art exhibit from our State. / have al
ready obtained quite large and fine
collection Of oil paintings, ETC., and IL Is
my ambition land hope to create the
same in others) to make as fine dis
play in this line that will be as good. II
not better, than any State OF the size OF
West Virginia can offer. / wish our
artists, both women and men, to join In
this and send their best work, and the
owners of paintings or any work OF cele-
brated artists at home or abroad, can aid
much by contributing the same as a
loan towards our exhibit.
All work will be accepted on It's
merits alone, and judged on the same,
and care will be taken for the safe
transportation and return OF all works
of art. / am in hopes OF securing
special space for this display, and shall
use every endeavor to secure 1t.
"Woman's work is to be placed In the
same building with the mems, and side
by side, so that the merit OF the article
will be awarded regardless OF sex.
Women are to have the right to award
some of the prizes. The women's build
ing is TO be place where women may
exhibit separately II they like. and many
will like to do this. There are to
be rooms of public comfort In this
building for these women who travel
alone or with children. The women
can come there for information or rest.
There will be women guides to tell them
the easiest way Of getting through the
exhibition, and the least expensive
mode of living, as well as where accom-
modations are to be had while In the
city. This form OF help will be OF great
advantage to those with limited means.
| There will be committee rooms where
different organizations or societies may
confer with each other. Mrs. Palmer
is very anxious that the interior de-
corations shall be made by women,
and 1, like many others, hope
this may be arranged. Now let me
hope that may hear from any OF you
wishing further information, and ask
from those who are interested, sugges-
lions as to the best method OF showing
to others what we can do, and are doing
as bread-winners and workers. I shall
be pleased TO give all the help in my
power, and let me ask you to bear this
in mind and act. This a woman's great
opportunity to advance in every field OF
labor and culture.
Most faithfully yours,
LILY IRENE JACKSON.

his memory in the Scottish town or
Dumfries; and the fine statue here pic
tured stands now In the town OF ayr,
not far from his birthplace.
1t was unveiled on the Sth OF last
month, in public square OF Ayr, In the
presence of an assemblage OF over 10000
people, who had been attracted from all
parts Of Scotland. 1t is simple yet Dig
nified the figure is that OF an independ-
ent Scotch yeoman Of the last century;
there is thoughtful look In the face,
to which the sculptor has given the ex-
preston Of native genius. The granite
pedestal is ornamented by symboiical
frieze, and in the four sides there are to
be panels representing Tam O'Shan-
ter, "The jolly Beggars. 1.-THE Cot
ter's Saturday Night" and another
scene from Burns poems.
The ceremony of unwilling was very
successfully carried out before the en-
thusiastic multitude, and there were
speeches in eulogy OF the poet and the
statue. The American Consul at Edin-
burgh, Mr.. Wallace Bruce, Of Ohio,
who Is a poet, delivered poem OF his
own composition, which was cheered.
Here is one Of the thirty-three stanzas
of the poem:
The browning need of praise belongs
To him who makes peoples songs,
Who strikes one note-the common good,
One chord-a wider brotherhood.

am so glad that our musical perform
ances have helped to while away the
time for you little. l suppose snail
have to hang up the fiddle and the bow
for good before long, because my future
husband unluckily isn't an admirer OF
music. Did | tell you that / am going
to be married In the spring to my
cousin, Granville Maitland? 1 dare say
you know that rising politician by name
if you haven't met him."
A very long time-Quite minute, L
should think-elapsed before he an
swered me, but when he did so his voice
was under control, though he could not
keep a slightly reproachiul ring out OF
it. I forget what he said-some nom
sense, l believe, about the high charac-
ter which Granville bore, and his worth
mess Of the great prize he had secured.
Poor boYl And yet 1t was ridiculous to
pity him. 1t would have been a great
deal more to the purpose, as could not
help feeling after left the room, to
pity myself, for indeed I may as well
admit at once that loved him.
can truly say that L had never loved
any man before, and l can add with
equal truth that | wss fully conscious OF
my folly IN loving this youth, who was
sure TO forget me as soon as he should
be out in the world once more. l knew
that he was really fond OF me for the
time being; / did not suspect him OF
having been attracted by the beaux
yeux de ma cassette, but then L also
knew that | was twenty-seven while he
was only twenty-five. All the same l
had very little sleep that night, and
before morning l had resolved that
everything should be at an end between
me and Granville. My conclusion
and l still think 1 was right
in so concluding = was that
I ought not to marry him, loving
somebody else. do not deny that l
had hopes with regard to the effect OF
this upon somebody else, but l do say
that should not have acted otherwise
even IL had had no hopes, and l was
we'll aware that was about TO lay my
self open TO the taunt Of having fallen
between two stools. Before breakfast |
telegraphed to Granville to come down
at once, after which 1 made some ex-
excuse for driving off to a neighboring
country town and lunching there. l
wished, if possible, to get the impend-
ing interview over before l saw MIR.

THE INTERNATIONAL COPYRIGHT.

Librarian Spofford's opinion of the
working Of the new international copy
right law is interesting. The law has
now been in operation three months,
and Great Britain, France, Belgium and
Switzerland have granted to American
authors the privileges which entitle
their citizens 10 its benefits in this
country. 1t is expected that Germany,
Austria and Italy will enter into the
same arrangement, and that citizens of
these governments will be made eligible
to copyright here.
Librarian Spofford says that the law
works very smoothly and satisfactorily,
but that the number of applications for
copyright on books from France and
England has been much smaller than
was expected, the entries for musical
compositions and engravings far out
numbering the printed volumes. Syndi-
cate articles for newspaper publication
are also copyrighted in great numbers.
Minor difficulties and differences of in
terpretation are being settled harmo-
niously, and on the whole the scheme
which was so much discussed and over
which arose such a cloud of opinions is
proving itself practicable and beneficial.

a late apology for smuggling is that it
:" is simply one of the necessary concomi-
tants Of high duties, u part Of the price
we pay for the privilege of showing the
world the finest example ever afforded
of the protective tariff theory"
The same excuse may be made for
sales of intoxicating liquors in violation
Of lcouse law. II is further said that
smuggling will continue as long as the
tariff lasts. II is likely that it may so
be said of illegal liquor selling, yet that
would not be considered a good argu-
inent for the repeal of the license laws,
neither would the former afford sufficient
reason for abolishing the tariff. The
party OF free trade is also the party OF
free rum, and the same arguments do
double duty.

THE TARIFF AND WOOL.

Congressman Dingley of Maine made
n good point when, in explaining the
principles Of protection to the Dart
mouth students last evening, he said :
"A year has passed since the Mckinley
tariff was enacted woolen goods made
in this country are no higher than they
were before the act was passed; and
yet every woolen manufacturer Sears
witness to the fact that while he could
make nothing last year, he has had a
fair years business since the new tariff
became law"
This change has been brought about,
Of course, by the fact that the restriction
of importation has made it possible for
American woolen mills TO run steadily,
taking advantage of their larger and
more certain market.

CORPORAL sLArTERy's DOUBLE.

Mr.. Cleveland has just written let

with those commonplace platitudes
which have given him with his party
such a reputation for wisdom, gained,
as some one not long ago said, because
of his remarkable faculty of saying an
"undisputed thing ia such a solemn
way"
His remark that he has faith in the
patriotism and intelligence Of the peo-
pie reminds one of the story of Corp.
Slattery AT the battle of New Orleans.
He said that just as everything was
