NO RACE PREJUDICE SHOWN.

Not so much as a stone was thrown
at single Sicilian, not word boot
ed, not banana taken from their
stands or baskets. They were at their
stalls in our markets on both Saturday
and tuesday mornings, and there is
not man in New Orleans who would
either venture or rush to harm a hair
OF their heads. The Sicilians (moral-
ly) convicted of the crime, were a
small minority of those slain, and no
distinction was made between them
and the American four, or naturalized
murderers.
The outside world must learn that
1t was people. not mob, who did
this deed, and that the executors OF

She Had a Long Memory.

A lady who formerly lived in this
state but is now a resident of Ohio was
riding on the East Eighth-street cable
car yesterday, casually glancing at the
houses as she passed. In one of the
yards she saw a crazy quilt hanging On
line. Instantly she got off the car,
and, going to the house, rang the door
bell and asked if Mrs. Blank lived
there. On receiving an affirmative re-
ply she entered. and two old friends
were soon chatting over old times. She
said she had recognized the quilt as
one she had seen her friend make in
central Missouri eighteen years ago.
A lady had just come from the east
bringing with ner a crazy quilt, which
was SO pretty and hard to make that
the East-side lady fashioned another
just like it. This was the one that

The Englishwoman, according to Q

fuses to worry or be worried, and the
consequence is that she looks young at

eats heartily, but the most digestible

Girls thus trained will fail Of attain

WITH COURTEOUS RESPECT.

That 10 the Way Women Are Treated

The assumption that the women are
not treated with courteous respect who

here, when women are treated with
deferential courtesy for what they have

ness. can speak from absolute knowl-
edge on this subject, and it is fact
that q woman who works with men
exactly as they do, who attends to her
own affairs and proves herself capable;
who is herself courteous, kind and
womanly, will. as rule. be treated
with kind consideration which is as
much finer than the empty formality Of
the "old school of chivalry" as that
was superior to boorish, vulgar lack OF
any consideration whatever. Such
chivalrous courtesy as some men seem
to think is the highest and best consid-

to render important service. not only in
arranging for the most complete show

but in promoting the interest of the ex-

tricks. Trip and Tiny grew to like
their new home very well. Whether
they remembered dear Mother Squirrel

they appeared to have forgotten all
about them.
The graceful FRANKS and amusing
ways of the squirrels became great
source Of amusement to all the menu
bers Of the family. Squirrels are active
little creatures, and are constantly in
motion, except when asleep. In their
own homes in the woods they spend
.heir lives chiefly in the trees running
along the branches and leaping from
tree to tree. Trip and Tiny, like all
squirrels. were extremely fond of nuts,
and the hardest ones gave no trouble to
their sharp little teeth. While he had
them for pets, Leslie learned great
deal about the habits and likes and dis
likes Of these pretty little creatures.
Now, sad to tell, Trip, who was very
fond Of playing on the wheel in his
cage. in some mysterious way became
tangled between the wires, and one
day when Leslie went to feed them he
found Trip hanging limp and lifeless.
His uncle comforted him by telling him
that it was an accident, and they would
take way the wheel before Tiny met
similar fate. Tiny, being left alone,
became rather stupid, and ate SO much
that he grew very fat AMI lazy and

In WOMAN'S BEHALF.
THE PIONEER PHARMACIST.

How She Came to Enter . Profession
Never Before Attempted by . Woman
In This Country.
Susan Hayhurst got her education en-
tirely at Friends schools in Whining
ton, Del, where her childhood was
passed. When she was sixteen her
father failed in business. and she fell
back on that usual resource of WELL
educated understanding. She found,
as she herself says. that she did not
know anything" However, she perse.
vercd- After teaching a while in coun-
try schools she came to Philadelphia.
For ten years she was principal of the
Friends school at Fourth and Green
streets. In the course of time she
opened a school Of her own, starting
with fifty pupils Finally her health
broke down, and she went west to re-
cuperate. and taught there for year.
She came to Philadelphia for surgical
treatment, as she was lame. and while
there began to cast about for something
to do. DR.. Hayhurst has most active
mind, and since she left school, up to
the present time, has always taken up
some study every year. She began at
that time to study medicine. Chem
istry came in the course of her studies,
and it SO interested her that she finally
decided to attend the lectures at the
Philadelphia college of pharmacy It
was then, of course, an unheard-of
thing that woman should attend the
lectures. but she had no difficulty either
in gaining admission or in securing re-
spectful treatment while at the college.
Perhaps this was because her attend
ance was personal matter, not ques-
ton of sex, and the permit she received
was an individual one. She did not
matriculate then, but some years later
was urged by her friends and the pro-
fessors at the college to take the exami-
nations, which she did, and passed, thus
becoming a regular graduate.
Her fellow students, the men, treated
her with nothing of the rudeness and
disrespect which might have been ex-
pected. She was an object of curiosity
to them, but it was good-natured curl
osity. They really seemed proud Of
her. and when she graduated they all
came to see her and overwhelmed her
with congratulations
She never practiced medicine, but ac-
cepted an offer to take charge of the
drug-room of the woman's hospital.
where she has remained ever since as
pharmacist-in-chief. The work was
hard the frs. year. but she speedily
grew to like it.
As before mentioned, DR.. Hayhurst
can not bear to do nothing. She says
that it always falls to her lot to do the
things which no one else would do. She
has her own tool chest. and is quite
handy in the use of the various tools.
On occasions she has attended to the
business of the drug-room and been the
housekeeper of the woman's hospital
during the absence of the matron. The
garden also is her special domain, there
being, she says, not tree or shrub in
the hospital grounds which she has not
