ance on the platform. As a matter of
fact she appeared there some time ago,
but as a speaker, hardly as an orator, in
the proper sense. 1t has been several
years now since the sight Of a woman
as a public speaker created v a rip.
pie of emotion. She has been presiding
over and addressing temperance meet
ings and club gatherings; she has lee
tured to public assemblies; she has
made political stump speeches; she has
even preached sermons-all without
arousing excitement or serious opposi-
ton. The fact is, women have car
rived" and the people who are slow to
adjust themselves to the situation are
at a disadvantage.
If, however, woman will address her
fellow citizens from the stage or the
stump, it is better that she should do it
acceptably. Even the most ardent
friends of advanced woman-those who
have kept her in sight in her rapid
progress toward ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
obliged to confess to a frequent wish
that she wouldn't when she essays to
electrify the multitude. She may be
earnest and eloquent, she may be witty
and wise, but, as a rule, she can not
spear. Her voice gets away from her;
she is alternately shrill and husky; she
shrieks when she would be emphatic;
she whispers hoarsely when she would
persuade. Sensitive and sympathetic
members of the audience incline to
crawl under the benches. She had, in
short, a voice hat was trained by an
cestry and early environments to do
nestle uses, and has not grown to the
requirements of a hall. Henceforth
this will be different. Colleges recoR-
nize this lack and are prepared to rem
edy it. If any female students show
oratorical talent or are ambitious to
become spellbinders, opportunity shall
be offered them. The woman OF the
future, and of the near future, who
speaks in public or the stage may, ii
she likes, be the Daniel Webster, the
Henry Ward Beecher or the Chauncey
M. Depew of her sex. Whether the

Train Hands of the Cambrla Iron Conn

JoHNsTowN, Pa, May 23.-E. P. Sar-
geant, Grand Master Of the Brotherhood of
Locomotive Engineers and Firemen and
President of the Supreme Councils of the
United Order of Railway Employees, and
P. H. Morrissey, Vice-Grand Master of
the Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen,
have carefully examined the grievances
which the trainmen in the employ of the
Cambria Iron Company presented to
General Manager Price. 1t was decided
that all Brotherhood men should be
withdrawn from the Cambria Works at
once. The men will be taken care of by
the organizations and positions will be
secured for them as rapidly as possible.
The Cambria Company is to be adver-
tised In the Brotherhood's magazine as
a non-Union organization. A rule will
be made absolute that no trainman who
works in the Cambria yards from this
date can ever become a member of any
of the organizations.
While this action will not result in
any stoppage of the works, it will pre-
vent many of the best trainmen in the
country from accepting employment
with the company.

No one hath stayed for her fears,
None hath a helping hand Tended:
Only the sower hath tears

1 - ANntH WI wv NOHHN
of ~Uruguay-An Immense Hole Stove In
Her side--BIarines and Sailors Dro wned
Like Rats.
MoNTEv1DEo (via Galveston, Tex.l,
May ga fearful disaster has over
taken the Brazilian war ship Solimoes,
off this coast. She was dispatched from
Rio Janeiro some days since TO act as
convoy to the hotilla which carried
troops to aid in quelling the rebellion
in the Brazilian State Of Matte Crosse.
TIL 1otilla had come on ahead of the
Solimoes n was up the river awaiting
her arrival in order to proceed by way
of the Paraguay river to the scene of the
revolt. At the same time that the flo
tilla left Rio a land force was sent by
rail. 1t was to go to the end of the rail
o route and the march into Matte
Crosse, where after being Joined by the
troops from the hotilla, the combined
forces were to attack the capital of the
State.
The crew of the war ship numbered
127 men. As she was fitted out for ac-
tive service it is probable that she did
not carry any small boats. Owing to
the dangerous nature of the low and
sandy Uruguayan sea coast she had a
pilot aboard.
Just as the Solimoes was off Polonio
Island, near Point Oegra Castillos, she
struck a rock violently bows on. The
sea was very rough at the time. All
the crew were under matches, except
four sailors and the pilot. Two of the
sailors acted as lookouts; the other two
were at the wheel.
Through the immense hole made in
her hull the water rushed so fast and
furious that the vessel sank almost i'm
mediately. OF all her crew only the
four sailors who were on deck saved
their lives. The pilot also escaped.
One hundred and twenty three lives
were lost.
The unfortunate men did not even get
a chance to gain the deck. They were
drowned like rats in a hole, AS the
water poured in the victims seemed in
stantly to recognize their danger, and
made a frantic but u~nsvailing effort TO
dash open the matches. Their cries were
heartrending.
TIL scene of the disaster-Polonio ISL
and-ls northeast of Cape Santa Maria,
which Is near the mouth of the Rio de la
Plata. The Solimoes was a two turreted
monitor, built of iron in England and
launched in 1875. Her displacement
was 3, 700 tons. She had a double bot
tom, but there were few watertight
compartments below the water line, and
when the hole was knocked in her hull
she went down like a cracked iron pot.
