the white race agitator had passed in
GAINESVILLE. They heard false in

heard him leavet the impression that
the negro would be put back into
slavery if he voted the Democratic

political crimes to the Democratic

are always treated from the scientific
standpoint, never from the sentimental,
and it is probably owing to this that
men invariably listen to her with the
greatest attention and her opinions are
treated with respect.
While engaged in solving the problem
Of making living Mrs. Ober perceived
that there were a number Of women
with what might be called some small
talents of one sort or another, who.
though quite capable of doing some one
thing well, yet were unable to earn
their daily bread because there was no
means of bringing them into contact
with those who desired such services.
So this clear headed woman established
q club or association which was known
as the Ladies' Chaperon bureau, whicl.
undertook to supply well informed
guides and chaperons to ladies travelling
alone. They engaged to meet their pa
irons at the trains and to take them to
the theaters, museums and art galleries
They also supplied readers, darners and
plain sewers by the hour. By ladies
schools and seminaries they were fire.
guently employed to take the older pu-
pills to concerts or lectures, and on their
books as references they had such names
as Chauncey M. Depew, the Wizards,
etc. But Mrs. Ober broke down under
the too constant strain and was com
pelled to give up all work and take a
long rest.
For over five years she was president
of the Society for Political Study in New
York. The aim of this society is unique.
The promoters, while being earnest I'D
vocates of the extension of the franchise
to women, believe that the best way 30
attain this end is to fit themselves 10 re-
ceive and exercise intelligently the right
to cast a vote. At the meetings of the
to whose membership women
of all ages, from the gray haired matron
to the girl In her teens, are admitted, such
topics are discussed as hmetallism, com
parative history, constitutional and par
procedure and all the ques-
tons of the day The educational value
of these associations Mrs. Ober considers
almost incalculable, and she has in the
past devoted and is now devoting much
time and energy to arousing the interest
of women in the great issues of the hour
In appearance sheis tall and graceful,
and has the easy, charming manner of
woman who has travelled and seen much.
AT present Mrs. Ober is fitting herself
TO fill chair in the faculty of the Col |
lege of Social Economics. She is also |
engaged upon a philosophical novel, in |
which she intends to PROFOUND o mum

ness. He sat with one arm resting on
the table and the other upon the arm of
his chair and his cane.
His head was bent forward, and had
good view Of the face of the poet as
he looked at eighty-three. His hair was
iron gray--not white. 1t was brushed
back from a high, slightly receding
forehead, and hung in thin, wavy locks
down over the collar of his coat. The
pointed beard was more lightly touched
with gray than the hair. The lines In
his face were numerous, but not deep,
and his eyes were wonderful.
They were large and full-almost like
the eyes of young man. They were
dark gray in color, with heavy black
lashes, and SO full Of expression that
they seemed indeed the windows of a
poetic soul.
He was dressed In a manner-not
negligent think negligee would be
better word. 1t almost seemed as If
there was an air Of weariness even about
his clothes. A dark silk scarf was loosely
tied under Byron collar. His waist
coat was buttoned high, and his long
Grock coat, unfastened, hung loosely
shout him.

Duke Of Argyll spoke Of the presence of

him very much to rise and speak to you,
but he says that it was great effort for
him to be present with us tonight, and
he begs you to accept his thanks and ex-

The words of the poet were not re-
ceived with applause. The feeling of
tho people seemed too deep for that.
They were entirely satisfied to have
seen him-to have had him sit with
them.

REVIVAL MEETING.
Everything in Readiness For the
Noted Evangelist.
The Program of Services for To-morrow
Which VIII Be Promptly
Carried Out.

Everything is in readiness now for
the revival meeting which bsgias at
the Gracey warehouse TO morrow
evening. The large warehouse has
been fitted up in excellent style for
the occasion, and there is nothing 10
prevent the meeting from being q
success. The coming of the noted
evangelist to Clarksville has been
looked forward to with much delight
by the great majority of citizens.
They have wanted him for several
years, but had begun TO despair
when the Young Mems Christian
Association took the matter In hand
and secured date with Mr.. Jones.
Therefore when the hour arrives for
the first service tomorrow evening
the warehouse will no doubt be
packed with an audience of Clarks-
vile people, who will take great
pleasure in welcoming this man OF
God to the city. Mr.. Jones will not
arrive in Clarksville tonight, but
will be here tomorrow. He will
reach Guthrie tomorrow morning
and will be met by Secretary Loose
with private conveyance and
brought to the city. Mr.. Stewart
will accompany M. Jones. Mr.. Ex-
cell will arrive in the city at
10 O'Clock tonight, accompanied by
his wife and will be quartered at the
Franklin House.
The first service will be a song
service held at the Gracey Ware
house tomorrow evening at 2:3O
O'Clock. AT 3 o'clock the opening
sermon will be preached by Rev.
Sam p. Jones. ATT O'Clock another
song service viii be held, and at 1880
another sermon will be preached by
the evangelist.
This is the program for the day
and will be carried out promptly.
Promptness is one of the evangelist's
strong points and people may settle
it in their minds now that service
will begin at the hour announced.
Tonight at O'clock choir re-
hearsal will be held at the warehouse
and all members are requested to
respond promptly.
1t is safe to say that the meeting
will attract to the city more people
than has been here for many days,
and it Is doubtful If the large ware
house will seat the crowd.
shThe chairman of the usher's COM
mittee has requested the LEAF

will be allowed put in the aisles un-
til all seats have been filled, thea the
chairs will be supplied by the ushers

on account of the limited
room in the aisles to manage
the crowd that is expepected.
The chairman, therefore, insists
that no one will attempt to use chairs

everybody. A calculation made this

THE POOR PEOPLE OF CHICAGO

SHREVEPORT. La, June IL, 1892.
Dear Progress:
Some of our liberal minded
friends want the Worlds Fair open
on the Sabbath for the benefit of
laboring people, who, they claim
have no other day they can call,
their own. This i fair, 50 far as
it goes. 1t would give laborn8
classes of Chicago chance to see
a great deal, but is this Worlds
Fair, or Chicago Fair? Only the
poor of Chicago would be accom-
modated, and l Lived in that Sec
ton of country long enough to
learn that the poor could always
90 where ever they wanted to, cor
porations and companies notwith-
standing.
The Worlds Fair is too broad
too big thing, to be governed 10y
, locations, and the United States Il
a God-fearing people, and, as such
she should render to God the
/ things which are His. Let th'
/ Fair be in His name, and His Sab
bath will not be broken for th,
benefit of few, who could an'
would go some other day in tn
week if necessary.
The class of people who woul'
spend their Sabbaths at the IA
would be very likely to spen'
some part of the day at any othe
public resort. The better classe
would not 60 on any Sunday, an
so it does not appear wherein s
much is to be derived from allow
ing the fair to offer superior al
fractions for Sabbath breaker
There are those who work har
every day in the week The pie
to open on Sunday is not for then
it is for people who work six day
