Their Work There VIII Answer Conclu-
sively All Questions In Regard to Their
Abilities.
A careful reading of Mrs Potter
Palmer's address before the Worlds
Fair Press League will give an idea Of
the great work that is contemplated
under the direction of the Worlds fair
board of lady managers. Nothing to
compare with it was ever before under
taken by women, and if carried to a
successful completion it will afford a
conclusive answer to all questions in
regard to their executive ability, their
capacity for management and all the
cold stock of arguments against extend
ing their sphere of action. The wom-
ans building, erected at a cost of $500,
600, is now being plastered. The archi-
tect was a woman and the statuary and
interior decorations will be selected
from designs submitted by women.
No articles will be placed here which
are competing for prize, but there
will be a number of exhibits made by
request because of their special excel
lence, and these will be grouped in the
great central gallery which is to reach
from the ground to the dome.
Committees of women will be form
ed in all countries for the purpose of
securing representative international
exhibit of woman's achievements.
There will be library filed with
books written by women, the finest
specimens of manual labor, an exposi-
ton of the kindergarten system, model
hospital methods, novel object lessons
in the charitable and reformatory
work conducted by women, practical
demonstrations of the science of cook
cry. In the large halls and spacious par
lors will be held congresses and conven-
tons, lectures, concerts, etc, while the
ornamental gardens upon the roof will
offer a restful retreat 1t will be the
headquarters for the women of this
and other countries, place for social
and business meetings, sort of center
where all may feel at home. The de-
cision was a wise one to place woman's
work in the general exhibit They are
competing not with each other entire
~, but with men also. Their produc.
tions should stand alone upon their
merits, and prizes should be awarded
without distinction of sex. Arrange
ments will be made, however, to dis
tinguish the exhibits which are in part
or wholly the work of women, so that
the proportion and the quality of their
work may be observation-disclosures

Masked Robbers Hold Up IN Express Tram
ON the Milwaukee q st. Paul Road and
Make a Heavy Haul
MILWAUKEE, Nov. Ii -The midnight
train from Chicago on the Milwaukee
e. St. Paul road was robbed by masked
men near Western Union Junction at 1
o'clock yesterday morning. The train
had been out of the junction, twenty
miles south of this place. about half
mile when the fireman, Edward Averill,
who was putting some coal into
the furnace, heard a noise behind
him He turned around and discov-
cred two heavily masked men Chamber
ing over the engine tender. They
leveled their double-barreled muskets
at the fireman and the engineer, "BilP'
Mckay, with the Injunction: "Don't
move an inch till we tell you to, or we
will blow the tops of your heads orr
Engineer Mckay was directed to run
the train to within point about one
mile from Western Union Junction.
Here the engineer was commanded to
stop. Both men were ordered to step
out of the cab and get in line ahead of
the robbers
They were marched to the express
car under cover and the robbers then
demanded of the express messenger
that he open the door of the car, which
he refused to do. The conductor came
up by this time and he was taken
prisoner. The robbers next broke in a
window of the car and threw in some
kind of an explosive which forced out
the end of the car. They then went in
side and covered the express messen-
ger with a revolver and tried to make
him open the safes. This he positively
refused to do and the safes were thrown.
out of the car.
In the meantime the rear brakeman,
understanding the situation, rushed
back to the junction and got help and
an engine The engine and posse at
once went to the scene and the rob
bers fled. When the train arrived
at the Union depot at go o'clock the
express car presented an appearance
that it had been attacked by heavy ar
tillery. Every door and window had
been blown out and the platform and
walls were shattered in half dozen
places, while the contents were piled
in one indiscriminate heap in the GEN.
ter of the car.
Messenger Murphy states THAT he had
secured ali the bills of the money con-
tanned in the safe and that the sum was
undoubtedly very large one. 1t is
probable that the total amount of the
robbers booty will amount to- 500, 600.
and possibly more.
An official of the st. Paul road said
the train which was held up was the
one that generally carried all the money
received by Milwaukee banks from the
east in the morning.
Agent John F. Bell, of the American
Express Co, said to reporter, after
Messenger Murphy had made his report,
that an approximate statement of the
amount taken by the robbers, could not
be learned. He said that SIS, OOOin local
packages was certainly gone. besides a
sum contained in two sealed envelopes

the New York Baker, German trades
paper Inspector of Police Hubbard,
accompanied by Lieut. Gibbons and a
squad of officers in citizens clothes,
were seen to quietly approach the stage.
They ordered an American flag placed
among the flaming banners
Instantly there was a profound sem
sation in the motley audience and the
police were Missed from all parts of the
hall. Mrs Lucy Parsons, who occupied
a chair in the rear of the hall, shouted
out:
Hang the murderers of my hus-
band!''
In a second pandemonium reigned,
hundreds of excited men pushed for
ward cursing the officers, and seeming
ly only wanting nod or a look from a
leader to precipitate fearful spectacle
of carnage. Nevertheless Inspector
Hubbard unfinchingly ordered sus-
pension of the meeting until his COM
mands were obeyed. Through the din
the half hundred police could be seen
placing their hands on their clubs and
revolvers preparatory for a fight
which seemed inevitable. 1t was
fully ten minutes before order
was restored. The flag meanwhile
had been reluctantly hoisted to a
place over the stage, a proceeding only
accomplished when the officers were
found ready for action and cooler
heads among the excited audience and
spectators had time to exercise some
influence.
The meeting had been taken COM
pletely by surprise or else more Sc
rious result might have followed The
first the crowd knew of the police be-
ing present was when Inspector Hub
bard with his detail entered from a
side door under the stage, having come
up by private entrance.
When he ordered the hosting of the
American flag. the tension was some
thing almost unprecedented Hiss
after hiss and yell afteryell frantically
rose until the audience seemed a thou
sand demons instead of human beings
The leaders of the meeting say that
the gathering was only to show regard
and reverence for the men who per-
ished while laboring for the benefit of
humanity.
When the police orders had been
finally obeyed, another meeting was
announced for tonight at the old time

Grain Going South.

q. CHICAGO, Nov. 12.-The mem ers of
the western freight association dis
cussed grain rates from Missouri river
points to New Orleans. 1t is elaine
that there is something wrong in
Denmark" since over 5000 cars
of grain have been shipped by the
New Orleans route in two months to
the detriment of the direct east bound
lines Consolation is derived, however,
from the report that serious blockade
of cars has temporarily stopped the
movement of freight to the southern
port, so that grain must now begin to
seek other outlets to the seaboar6.

A NEW WoMAN'S CLUB.

An Association That VIII He Productive
of Much Good In Our Social Life.
The college-bred women of New
York and its cluster of surrounding
towns and villages are founding club
of their own where they may meet and
exert their influence toward the promo
ton of literature, art and the hundred
other questions in which they are inter
ested.
It is a new idea, born of desire to
effect higher development in all those
departments of life and industry in
which intelligent and educated women
are peculiarly interested So far as we
can recall, no city in the union has an
organization of this kind. II the pio-
neer one here is what its projectors
hope it will be we may be certain that
the women in all these cities will fol-
low the example of their metropolitan
sisters.
The influence of club of this char
acter laid down on broad lines and in
diligently directed would be incalcula-
BILE. 1t would count for all that is
noble and elevating in our social life.
1t would be an aid to good government
to the highest and best development of
the American principle irrespective of
mere partisan parties and methods.
It would set the standard of good taste,
of the proprieties and amenities The
leaders of the new organization are I'M
doubtedly aiming at an ideal such as
we have outlined. If they are, they
will have set in motion an association
which may become one of the very
highest products of our nineteenth CEN
fury civilization.-N. Y. Recorder.

GALE IN GREAT BRITAIN.
The English Channel Ravaged-ShipwrecI
and Loss of Life.

anu LOSS Oh Lie.
LONDON, Nov. 12.-Another furious
southeastern gale is sweeping the
British coasts and is causing an i'm
mense amount of damage. From a
number of points already the news has
been telegraphed that ships are ashore
and that their crews are in danger of
drowning or are drowned.
Following so closely upon the many
recent storms which spread death and
destruction on the coasts of England.
Ireland and Scotland, and which have
done an immense amount of damage to
the crops besides flooding whole dis
tricts and destroying railroad embank-
ments, this latest storm is really more
than even the most sanguine British
farmers can pass through without de-
spondency.
To give an entire list of the wrecks
reported this morning would be diff
cult task. A dispatch from Hythe,
Kent, says that the French schooner
Edrimi has foundered off that place
and that the vessels captain, his wife
and son were drowned in spite of the
efforts of the life savers, who were en-
abled to take of the rest of the crew.
The captain of the Edrimi, however,
refused to leave the vessel and his wife
and son refused to separate from him,
preferring drowning with the gallant
sailor to being saved without him.
The efforts to save the crew of the
Bienvenu, driven ashore at Sandgate,
have resulted in serious loss of life.
The Hythe lifeboat which finally got
afloat after a dozen fruitless efforts,
has been capsized while trying for the
honor of reaching the shipwrecked
crew of the Bienvenu Several life
savers have been drowned. The exact
details of this disaster have not yet
reached here.

Women Rapidly Taking More Independ-
ent Place with Beneficial Results.
Among the crowds that entered Okla
homa when a pistol shot proclaimed
that the new lands were open to settle
ment, were twenty-one-year-old girl
who had walked fifteen miles to the
border, a negro woman who had walked
twenty miles with baby in her arms
and led a six-year-old child, three wom-
en- on horseback with children strapped
behind them, and a woman sixty-fve
years old on horseback. This Okla
homa incident is only one indication Of
the steady advance woman is making
toward an independent position in the
life and work of the world. She con-
quered the professions long ago. and
woman lawyers, physicians, preachers,
and editors are no longer a rarity. Her
right to have as good an education as
her brother is also conceded, and that
she is taking advantage of it is seen in
the constantly increasing classes at
girls normal schools and female col
leges. One of the latter in Massachu-
sets has an entering class of PAL, where
sixteen years ago the class numbered
only twelve. Probably every female
college and seminary can show SINH
lar growth in its classes. The demand
for increased educational facilities for
women is not peculiar to this country.
1t is seen in England and France as
well IS here. The encouraging fact in
this latter advance of woman is that it
is directed more toward the practical
and not so much toward the theoreti-
cal The demand for the ballot is no
longer the one avenue along which
women are directing their greatest eff
forts fer place and position. They have
found other ways. If woman can prove
her fitness and inclination to make her
own living in the world, she will gain
a new INDEPENDENCE in making mat
rimonial choice, and more women will
contemplate with serenity the chance
they have of marrying, as estimated by
an English statistician in the following
table:

u
and Pleasant Occupation.
For the past six years Miss Mary E.
Cutler has carried on farm in Hollis
ton, Mass. The farm was bought in
1S41 by.her father, who made speciality
of the nursery business Miss Cutler,
however, has been gradually drifting
away from her fathers speciality, and
now pays much attention to the raising
of vegetables for the enterprising man.
ufacturing villages roundabout Miss
Cutler superintends the farming, keeps
the books, hires the ilelp and directs
what shall be done day by Goy. She
does not by any means make drudge
of herself, but finds time for occasional
travel and the exercises of her taste in
literature and art She plays the piano
and paints.
The farm contains 6S acres in all, but
only 10 are under cultivation. Miss
Cutler believes that one of the first es-
sentials of success in this kind of bust
ness is having n good-looking team;
consequently market-garden wagon,
built expressly for the purpose, with
pair of good horses, is employed in dis
posing of the produce of the farm, all
of which is sold within a circuit of not
over six miles. From July to Novem-
Der the team makes daily trips earlier
in the season semi-weekly. Her sue
cess is due both to the quality and the
uniformity of the produce and to the
fact that her customers can rely upon
her team calling upon them with posi-
tive regularity.
Miss Cutler intends to work the land
for all il is worth and to have two crops
year in nearly every case. Planting
is going on every week through the
whole season to secure 4 succession of
crops or two crops per season. Squash
follow beets, turnips follow spinach
and Hungarian follows early potatoes,
with such other notifications as the
season and the condition of the soil de-
mands. Strawberries, blackberries
and currants are also grown in consid-
cradle quantities. There are also
orchards of apples peaches and grapes.
In the early spring the greenhouses
and hot beds come into use. and as
there are some 5000 square feet under
glass on the farm, this gives an oppor-
tunity for hiring help the year round,
and Miss Cutler finds that she gets bet
ter employees by making yearly con-
tracts with as many as possible; green
house work in the winter hot-beds in
the early spring, to say nothing of win
ter jobs in cutting the wood and clear
ing unreclaimed land, furnish abund-
ant occupation for three or four men
the year round, although it is neces-
sary to hire some extra hands through
the summer.-Springfeld Republican.

woman's standard.

The woman who carves on wood,
models in clay, paints, studies mathe-
mates, botany or music, has little time
to spend gossiping with her neighbors
or fretting over trifes. She finds rest
and recreation in those pursuits which
lifts her above the monotony of house
hold duty and keeps her young. She
has an ambition, in itself meritorious,
to do something worthy, and when she
has done it, it is only right that the
world should approve and pay for the
product of her labor, both in fame and
in cash, and she asks no standard of
Judgment but that of eXcellence.-Chi-
cago Graphic.

Marriage will be looked upon as less
of necessity, there will be more de-
liberateness in choosing and conse-
quently fewer unhappy marriages will
result. There is no advance which
woman can make which will benefit
herself and society at large SO much as
greater independence in marriage.
And, whether she gains this independ-
ence by making horse-shoes, as Miss
Aide Wilder has done in the suburbs
of Brooklyn, or by taking the post of
engineer on the boat of which her hus-
band is captain on the lower Mississip-
pi, or by managing horse railroad, as
Miss Dow did In Dover, N. H, or by
presiding over the best arranged hotel
on the Jersey Beach, or by joining the
Oklahoma boomers-the great majority
of men will applaud, provided, of
course, that these occupations do not
lessen the chief charms of female char
acter No one would wish to see that
result, and natural laws may be trusted
to prevent it.-Philadelphia Press.
