From her girlhood Miss Holloway has
been of literary turn of mind. She
attended three terms at the Boston Con-
servatOry of Music Immediately after
her graduation from the New London
high school, and earned with her pen
enough money to defray her expenses at
the Hub. As long ago as 1884 she was
associate editor of the New London
Day, and the attention attracted to he1
work on that paper brought about, in
1888, an offer of the position which she
at present fills.
Miss Holloway is frequent contribu-
tor to magazines and weeklies. Her
style is entertaining and her work is
marked by thoroughness. She will
shortly complete a romance involving
those two brilliant men, Aaron Burr
and Alexander Hamilton.
Miss Holloway is of slight figure, has
a prepossessing. candid face and is only
about feet inches in height. She has
received many offers of marriage, but
insists that she is welded to literature,
and will remain faithful IN this her
first love, for at least ten years longer.
Miss Holloway's pen earns for her good
income.

The Great Skirt Question.

The long skirt for women seems
doomed to extinction. In Vienna there
is a movement on foot having for its OBJ
ject the arrest of every woman whose
skirts sweep the streets. This heroic
remedy has been deemed necessary from
a sanitary standpoint, the particles of
dust gathered by woman's apparel be-
ing said to contain innumerable disease
germs. The Housewife takes up the
cudgel in behalf of this reform and OBJ
serves that 1.-The short, straight petticoat

1t is all romance. From her birth to
her great lawsuit and engagement the
unexpected has happened. Her father,
Thomas H. Blythe, reached California
from England when mere boy and in
vested his first earnings in San Francisco
real estate. The profits went into Other
real estate and the growth of the city
made him rich. In early manhood he
visited England and there met Miss
Perry, the mother of Florence. April a..
1888, he died. No viii was found, but
it was rumored that he had left $50, 900
to one Alice Edith Dickson and the re-
mainder to his daughter. From every
side claimants started up. Miss Dickson
said she was his widow. Florence ar
rived from England with her grand
father Perry, and desperate legal bat
tie began. Last July the decision gave
the $4,000, 900 to Florence Blythe. Itwas
proved by the correspondence put in eyi.

the conclusion thoroughly.

THE CHOLERA.

At last, il seems, cholera Is knocking
at the gates of the New World, coming
straight by the old ocean pathway 1t has
SO often travelled. 1t is true that
the physician in charge, with pro-
professional caution, hesitates to
pronounce the disease which caused
such frightful mortality on the Mora
via, true cholera and that
the ships officers pronounce it
"cholerine' of the sort that has devas-
tated Paris. But we need not quarrel
with terms. Any disease that is deadly
enough to kill twenty-five persons on
shipboard in the short voyage from
Hamburg to New York is quite cholera
enough for practical purposes.
Cholera exists in Hamburg. That is
the chief port of expectation of emf
grants from those countries where
cholera would NEST love to linger-
to be quite plain, from the filthy
folk of Eastern and Southern Eu-
rope, to whom sanitary laws are
as sealed book and personal cleanli-
ness myth. 1t is more than ques-
tion with the News whether we want
these dirty and Ignorant semi-barbarians
in our country at any time. We cer-
tainly do not want them when their
chief port of embarkation is reeking
with cholera. If President Harrison
acts promptly to forbid any immigra-
tim whatever from infected ports, the
country will indorse the action as wise,
and won't mind how long the exclusion
is kept up.
And meanwhile what shall we do
The cholera is almost certain to reach
the country somewhere. Once in the
country it will be as likely to settle in
one of the Pawtuxet valley villages as
anywhere. Then our polluted water
supply will bring it here just as it does
typhoid. The rules Of the New York
Board of Health which we print else
where contain deal of common sense
on the subject. Situated as PROVIDENCE
people are, the rules amount to this.
Keep clean, and drink no Pawfuret
Wafer tchich has not been boiled for
t,centy minutes. These rules are good

THE FIGHT.


During next week somewhat extra
ordinary spectacle will be witnessed in
New Orleans.
In the heart Of the city, with the ap-
parent approval of the authorities, Mr..
Sullivan, the fat man from Boston, will
do his level best to knock out, to disable,
a clever Californian, Mr.. Corbett. Mr..
Myer, the Streator cyclone, will again
endeavor to thrash his old antagonist, Mr..
McAuliffe the little and Mr.. Dixon,
gentleman Of color, will endeavor to per-
form like kind Office for Mr.. Skelly.
At the latter performance, colored
sports will be permitted to attend, in
special gallery arranged for the purpose.
The character of the crowd which
would be demeaned by the nearer pres
ence of the black men is well
shown by the fact that they
will all be searched at the doors
to see that they carry no weapons into
the hall. AS matter of pure, unexag-
gerated fact, probably no American
city has ever held worse crowd of
criminals than will be assembled in New
Orleans next week. II is visitation to
make the self-respecting citizen blush
for his city. From every part of the
country, from California to Maine; yes,
even from foreign lands, the scum of
an imperfect civilization will be out
poured upon the Crescent City. Local
objection seems to be forestalled by the
fact that the strangers will spend
money in town. This is uncomfortably
like New Orleans selling its soul to the
devil.
New York has had famous boxing
matches of the thinly disguised prize
fight order time and again. These
were, however, nominally at least, ex-
hibitions of skill. and in the later con-
tests, platoon of police has really
enforced the rule that there is to be
no knocking out" At New Orleans.
however, il seems TO be understood
that there will be just as much Of it as
the principals in the entertainment can
reasonably provide. Brutality in the
spectator and the same quality in the
performer ten times multiplied is the
triple encounters rdison detre.
Cannot the combative element in
humanity--av valuable one-be conceived,
and a,hleticism encouraged without bru-
tality? We have faith to believe that
they can. The more enlightened and
general the attention that is paid TO
general athletic development, the less
demand will there be for prize fights.
The most splendid athletes in the world
are the Germans. In Germany gymnas-
tic exercises arc more universally prac-
ticed and enjoyed than in any other
country, yet there are practically. no
German pugilists. Even in this country
there are comparatively few German
Americans in the business. Bsxing is "a
