The Literary Mans wife Could Not he
spond 20 tho Western Reception.
The lavish Western hospitality which
insists upon treating guest as a very
great parsonage has not yet been re-
placed by conventional GOODNESS and
formality. Not long ago the wife Of
literary man visited relatives in West
ern city. Her coming having been
duly announced by a local PAGER, the
day after her arrival no less than five
private carriages were placed at the
iady's disposal, including drivers.
She could not accept them AL, but
did not fail of an opportunity TO drive
out aud see the very fine country about
the town. Within forty-eight hours
she had received no fewer than fifty
calls from people who came 10 pay
their compliments, and who paid them
with great generosity and enthusiasm.
But the browning experience was to
come. With another relative she at
tended a sort of Sunday school meet
ing, intending 10 take seat modestly
al the back part Of the house and hear
what went on. Entering the hall the
two ladies were beclganed 10 by an
usher, This way, ladies'"
They followed him. and before they
were fully aware OF IL were upon the
platform close by the minister's side
and facing the audience. The minister
then proceeded 20 make an address, in
which he eulogized the fame of the lit
crary man and the virtues Of his wife,
ending BY inviting her 70 address the
children.
But the Eastern lady, who was shy
and retiring In disposition, could not
even attempt 20 rise; perhaps her knees
would not have held her up II she had
attempted. She sat still, quite over
whelmed, with downcast eyes. There
was "a painful silence. which presently
the minister broke.
III, then. he said, "our friends d.
not care 70 address us. perhaps they
win rise and give us good look al
| theml"
This was as hard a demand 10 ill as
the other. The ladies sat perfectly
quiet and there was another still mors

do but 60 on with the exercises. IL wa,
an awful experience for the lady from
the East; but In spite OF il she spent
her time in the Gown very delightfully."-

A river of size in Indiana is known as
the Wabash. A wild mountain stream
in the Tahconics, Mass, comes down
througha wonderful gorge in series
of chasms and cascades, and continues
as a charming stream between the
Alander and Cedar mountains and so
through the village of Copake Iron
Works, Harlem railroad New York, and
is visited by hundreds, if not by thous-
ands Of people yearly, and is known as
Bash-B ish. What is the true Indian
meaning of the terms Bash Bish-and

which two streams SO far apart, and
very unlike, are united by half their
etymology? Were those Eastern and
Western Indians giving kindred names,
kindred people?

Is also able TO claim other distinguished
men of colonial times as her ancestors
However, better than the fact of who
Mrs. Shepard is, is what she is. Genial,
kindly, enthusiastic, warmly friend,
and fearless in the expression and
maintenance of her convictions, she is
one Of the most sincere, admirable, ami
able, and lovable women connected
with the worlds fair.
One of the finest linguists of the
Board of Lady Managers is Mrs. Susan
Riley Ashley Of Colorado. So thorough
is Mrs. Aslxley's knowledge of German
that she has foi some years been presi-
dent of leading German literary
society of Denver. Mrs. Ashley has
also been for several years president of
the Denver Fortnightly, the foremost
club of women in that city. She brings
to her work as member OF the board
thorough knowledge of the worlds
fair held in Vienna in 1873. and also of
the Universal exposition of 1889. Her
ability to speak French and German
with perfect ease enabled her to pos
sess herself of information while
at those expositions which would other
wise have been impossible. Mrs Ash
ley went to Denver with her husband
when it was only a village of 1000 in
habitants, and from that time until the
present has been actively identified
with the philanthropic, social and liter
airy life of the city. She is also thor
oughly conversant with the conditions
and resources of the State That her
appointment as member of the Board
of Lady Managers has been appreciated
in her State is evidenced by the fact
that she has been made member Of
the State Worlds Fair Board and super
intendent of the Woman's Department
for the State.
Mrs. Rosine Ryaniof Texas is typical
Southern woman-brilliant resource
full, and womanly. She belonges to
one of the oldest and most respected
families in the State, and her work in
connection with raising funds for the
maintenance of the Confederate Home
located there has made her well known
through the State of magnificent dis
tances. As, on account of provision
of the Constitution. there could be no
appropriation by the Legislature Of
Texas for the exposition. it was neees-
sary to raise the needed amount by
individual subscription. The success
of this work so far has been due largely
to Mrs Ryan's wise, enthusiastic, and
persistent effort. The fact that she IS
socially a favorite, and that her friends

people of the principal maritime ma
tions OF Europe, and has had the atten-
ton of the executive or Legislative de-
part ments OF this country during al
most every administration.
II seems more than probable that the
Panama canal project is impracticable.
The construction Of the Nicaragua
canal is entirely practical. The esti-
mated cost of a canals construction is
small compared with its Importance
and value There is not to-day in the
civilized world any other project for
the benefit OF commerce comparable in
Importance 70 il.

Of ratification.
company Incorporated oy Congress
now has concessions from Nicaragua
and Costa Rica, under which IL is en-,
gagged In constructing a canal. With
out government aid 1t can only be con
structed with the proceeds of stocks and
bonds of the company sold in the mar
lsets of the world FOR whatever they
will bring.
Whoever controls the stock of tho
company WILL for the time being, con
troll the canal; hut whoever owns the
bonds will virtually own the canal and
will ultimately come into control of IT.
IL the canal is constructed by private
corporation the control of Il is Liable
70 pass into the hands of foreigner,
and the canal may become the pro
perty Of foreign government
There are grave doubts in my mind
whether the enterprise is not Of too
great magnitude for private enterprise
whether the canal can be constructed
without government aid. The United
States should aid the enterprise.
The canal, once constructed and con
trollcd by the United States, woult
