Woman's chronicle. (Little Rock, Ark.) 1888-1???, 1891-01-17

the neWstands are at present sur
felted' The title page is in each case
adorned with an attractive figure piece
In delicate water color effects, calcu-
lated TO attract attention and inspire
curiosity as to the contents.
This story contrasts prosaic village
life in the collegiate town of Exmoor
in Puritan New England, with the
whirl of New York life and its greed
of sordld gain. There is much that
is extremely clever in the story. The
figures of speech with which it
abounds are often unique-too unique
to be dragged down to the level of
much that is Brutal in the book. A
New York millionaire visits Exmoor,
endows the university and takes home
with him the hero of the story, who
falls in love wirh his daughter. He
notes the emptiness of city life and
returns to Exmoor after a year, to
his old boyhood love, with the deter
mination of marrying her, but he
finds the stupidity of his old life un-
bearable, and returns to the intoxica-
tom of New York life and money get
ting, thing not surprising if the
people of Exmoor were as unattrac-
tive as the author describes. There
is painful lack of rest and sweet
ness through the long story, and the
authors opinion that life isn't worth
the living after all, stands out boldly
between the lines.

Life of Dorothea Lynde Dix-By Fran
els Tiffany. Houghton, Mitllin Il Co.: Boston,
1890.
So great woman as the subject of
these memoirs needs no introduction
to the reading world.
AS the founder of vast and endur-
ing institutions of mercy in America
and Europe, this woman has simply
no peer in the annals of Professionalism.
Mr.. Tiffany, her biographer, has
gathered such interesting information
concerning her life as her friends and
letters revealed to him, and it is COM
piled in a most attractive and thor
oughlY interesting manner. The
study OF such a character as hers is
one of deepest interest to many lovers
of fne biography.
Not in the winning of laurels, but
in the succor of human misery lay
the dominating purpose of her life.
Descending into prison dungeons, UNI
earthing the wrongs practiced by the
inhuman upon the helpless, and then
dragging the truths before legislatures
and demanding the remedy in the
name of humanity, by such acts as
these were the years of her life
marked.
Her utter aversion to public noto-
riety kept her name in the background
through much of her labors, but the
results stand living monument to a
life consecrated to doing good.
A more charming biography has
not appeared in great while. Miss
Dix was bora in Maine in 1902, and
died at the advanced age of IS, in
Massachusetts, in an institution OF
her own founding-one of her many
children, as she was wont to call them.
She founded and improved 80 asylums

CONDUCTED BY HARYoT HOLT oAHooN,

The holiday number of America is
the handsomest ever issued by that
journal, and is one of which Chicago
may we'll be proud as an effort in
Western journalism. The first page
cartoon is protest against the pro-
lection Uncle Sam grants the ignorant
alien to our shores, forgetting the
protection to the original possessor
Of our land-the Indian. 1t is a
strong and telling picture, and con-
tains a sentiment that is pathetic
The editor of America offers to
send his unique journal for four weeks
to any address, and has issued an
elegant little souvenir to each SUBJ
scriber, which promises to send to
any friends whose names may be sent
in, that journal for one month.
Let some of The CHRONICLE read
ers send in their names and receive
the benefit of the compliment. Amer
lea is published at 1870 Monroe street,
Chicago, weekly, and the subscription
price is So year.
Dawn, the ably conducted maya
zine of Christian Socialism, has now
become fortnightly, and expects
soon to became weekly. 1t is edited
by W. D P. Bliss, at 1888 Washing
ton street, Boston, at one dollar
year; three months on trial, Is cents.
The Atlantic Monthly for January
opens with chapter of travels by
Percival Lowell, entitled "Noto-An
Unexplored Corner of Japan" The
exploration cannot have been more
delightful to the writer than his style
of telling it. His personal impress
sions are pleasantly expressed and
call for the readers keenest apprecia-
ton. On entering Takasaki, the
writer comments: 'It was not far to
the inn. 1t was just far enough at
that hour to put us in heart for
housing. Indeed, twilight is the
time of times to arrive anywhere.
Any spot, be it ever so homely, seems
homelike then. The dusk has snatched
from you the silent oompanionship of
nature, to leave you poignantly alone.
1t is the hour when a man draws close
to the one he loves, and the hoCr
when most he shrinks from himself,
though he want another near. 1t is
then the rays of the house-lights
wander abroad and appear to beckon
the houseless in; and that must be,
in truth, sorry hostelry, to seem
such to him. Even Takasoki bore a
look of welcome, alike to the foreign
and native stranger, which was GER
tainly wonderful for Tskasaki."
Sprinklings of the personal ssnti-
ment of the writer make it an unusu-
ally interesting chapter. Frank r.
Stockton and Fanny N. D. Murfree
continue with their serials. Charles
Worcester Clark has paper on
"Compulsory Education" "Individ-
ualism in Education" is dealt with
ably by N. S. Shaler. There are a
dozen other articles yieing with each
other for merit, and last comes the

ALIENS RIGHTS IN ILLINOIS.
A Chicago Judge Declares the Alien
Property Law Invalid.

properly Law Invalid.
CHICAGO, Dec. 24-Judge Collins rem
dered an important decision yesterday
morning, declaring void an act passed in
June. 1887, by the Illinois state legislature,
restricting aliens in their holdings of real
and personal property. George Luding
Schultze, a citizen of the United States,
died July 5, 1891, leaving two lots ON the
west side valued at 5000 His heirs-at-
law are brother, who resides in Chicago,
and the widow, who resides in Germany.
Called IL a Piece of FooIishness.
The widow filed petition for the parti-
tion Of the estate in the circuit court, and
the brother filed plea raising the ques-
tion of the validity of the alien law. Under
the act nonresident aliens can not acquire
property by descent or otherwise. Judge
Collins said he thought the alien act was
a piece of foolishness, and the legislature,
had gone mad when they passed it. The
case was appealed by the Chicago heirs to
the supreme court.

is authortatively denied and similar de
mails are being sent in reply to all in

where conceded that important dispatches
have been received from Minister Egan.
bat it i impossible TO learn their contents,
so close-mouthed are the officials who are
in a position to know what they are.
Chili's provisional government which still
has control of affairs and is responsible for
the events leading up to the present condi-
tion of things, has an existence limited
only to about ten days longer. and it is not
believed that this government, unless
forced 10y extraordinary events not now
foreseen or anticipated, will precipitate
crisis with it.

The administration, while not disposed
to rush matters in view of the speedy
change, is closely watching the progress of
events and making preparations 10 prompt

When the new cabinet is announced there
may be foreign minister who will pursue
different policy from that of the present
minister, and with whom satisfactory
settlement may be made without resort to
unpleasant measures. But it is only fair
to say that not much hope exists that the
new government will be any more pacifi-
cally inclined than the present one

The Shipping Bill Discussed in Commit
tee Of the Whole.
WASHINGTON, Jan. Elm the house,
today, the senate bill was passed for the
relief of the sureties of George w. Hook,
of California.
The house bill repeating the law
authorizing the president to suspend
tonnage dues was passed.
Farouhar moved that the house go
into committee of the whole for consid-
Grafton of the shipping bill. Springer
moved, as an amendment, that the COM
mittee consider the options bill. Re-
iected, 101 to So. Farquhar's motion
was agreed to-117 to 50.
Wheeler of Alabama opposed the
measure because it took still more from
the hard earned money of the farmer
and laborer. The Republicans almost
to a man had just voted against taking
up the options bill, and among the mega
tive votes was found the name OF the
author of the measure iButterworth).
Butterworth inquired whether the
Democrats voted to take up the options
bill for any other purpose than to de-
