WOMAN'S GOSSIP.

THE second woman to be admitted to
practice before the supreme court of
Pennsylvania is Miss Alice e. Mciee.
The judge spoke highly of her qualifica-
tions.
IN 1882 the Women's National Press
Association was first organized in
Washington This is supposed TO be
the first chartered organization of its
kind in the country.
TWENTY or more young women work
under Miss Caroline Kelly, who has
been for some years the designer OF in
terror car decorations in one Of the lar
gest car-building csta blishments in the
country.
THE young American artist whose pic
lures occupied a prominent place at the
last Paris salon is Elizabeth Strong, a
California girl, who owes her present
success to her own unaided efforts
Her brother is an artist also, but he
gained his art education through the
liberality of friends, while Miss Strong
had the privilege Of paying her own
way. She is now established in a studio
in Boston
SOME Chicago women are making
plans to build an immense hotel for
working women and think that 5000
can find lodging at the hotel during the
time of the fair at thirty cents day.
The use of the land has already been
contributed and the other expenses are
to be borne by issues of stock at IS per
share to women all over the country.
Should there be any profits they will be
shared by the stock holders

A MANIFEST AssuRpIrY.
The Financial Idea of the Peoples Party
Shown by Analysis.


The peoples party financial scheme
is to abolish all coinage of metals and
issue some form of paper secured by the
land on which it has been loaned This
form of paper will surely have the word
dollar" and just as sure the question
will come up, ''What do you mean by
'dollar?" If the quibbling and dodg-
ing of this question lasted a thousand
years it would not alter the fact that it
means 25.s grains of standard gold, or
possibly, perhaps, about 500 grains OF
silver at current prices That is what
Mr.. jeremiah Simpson and Mr.. PETER
and the rest of the people" would
finally have to admit: and then, of
course, an official guarantee would be
found convenient to show that the gold
was up to the standard. 1t would be
stamped or coined, and after a wonder
full experience of a wonderful scheme
we should be back again at the point
from where we started. We may have
a dollar of gold or of silver, but it is
impossible for us to have dollar of pa
per. or of leather, or of land, though we
NAV have dollars icOrtk of them. The
financial idea of the peoples party,
therefore, is founded on an absurdity.
The assertion of peoples party ora
tors that the insufficiency of circulat-
ing medium of exchange is good rea-
son for the country to wade into a
financial quagmire is the veriest fudge.
The question of plenty" is relative. If
one has plenty of saleable goods he has
or can have plenty of money. If his
goods are unmarketable, like wormy
alliance "chestnuts," he is hard up no
matter what volume of currency is
afloat The panic of 1857 occurred
when the country was deluged with
money of the alliance species 1t
caused an immense and immediate re-
tirement of currency" and a prosper
Gus state of things directly followed.
1t must be confessed, however, that
government has at times injudiciously
interfered in fastening to the rescue of
stock brokers overtaken by the results
of risky investments, and this interior
ence has given strength to the visionary
ideas of the peoples party. 1t may
seem hard for a government to stand
by and see important enterprises BANK
rupted by a so-called tight money
market; but nature teaches by killing,
and nature had best be left alone, for
there will be a time when the govern
ment, powerful as it may be, will be
unable to satisfy demands grown out of
all proportions by reason of the relief
afforded on previous occasions
This government interference, which
cannot be defended and can only be
apologized for, the peoples party would
extend throughout the land. A most
deplorable feeling of mendicancy would
prevail and an irresistible clamor to en-
large the range of things pawnable
would inevitably follow. Finally would
come the collapse, and nature might
avenge herself by killing the republic
as an object lesson to the world.

THE OLD MAID.
a Class of Womanhood That Is Dear 60
Many Hearts.

Many Hearts.
We have all forgotten the typical old
maid of the olden time. She has given
place to a more loveable and attractive
type of womanhood. The modern old
maid is sweet-tempered and jolly, with
dimples in her cheeks and a laugh as
musical as the bobolink's song. She
wears elegantly-ftting tailor-made
gowns and becoming ornaments around
her plump. white throat She goes to
concerts, parties, suppers lectures, and
matinees, and she does not go alone.
She wears killing bonnets, and has live
poets, philosophers, and statesmen in
her train. In fat, the modern cid maid
is as good if not a little better than the
modern young maid. She has sense and
ability as we'll as dimples and curves,
and many of them have bank-boolls and
dividends. But this is not all 1t is
her sweet womanly presence that comes
to the house of sorrow and brings the
peace that passeth understanding. 1t
is she who comforts and soothes the
weary and suffering and brings the sun
shine of hope back to fading eyes.
Many of us have sweet chapters of
praise in our hearts for the dear old
maids God bless them.-Banner of

Gently. The great profits of the business
induced the organization of a number
of new breveries which sold beer at a
low price in order to build up BUSH
ness The old breweries fought back
and made greater reductions, till the
price was cut in half and three dollars
was paid per barrel where six dollars
used to be the lowest price. Based upon
an estimated sale of 100000 barrels
year the sales during four months would
amount to three hundred thousand bar
rels. Allowing for export and the cold
season the amount SO consumed in Chi
cage may be placed at two hundred
thousand barrels. In each of these the
brewers lost three dollars making a
loss considerably over half million
dollars. The great English brewery
syndicate passed its quarterly dividend
owing to the heavy losses sustained.
The saloon keepers must have profted
to the extent that the brewers lost.
They claim to have shared The profit
with the consumer, but no one noticed
any bigger glasses or less foam in
them. This circumstance probably ac-
counts for laughable episode that
grew out of the beer war. A certain
well-known self-constituted labor lead
err brought the matter up at meeting
of the Trade and Labor assembly and
asked for an investigation of the quail
ity of the beer sold in Chicago, claiming
that it was of inferior quality owing to
low prices.
81 move that keg be brought in
that we may sample it." said another
delegate. But the said leader was in
earnest. He went so far as to propose
to call a mass meeting of beer-drinkers
to protest against the quality of the
beer. Brewers claim and argue with
much reason that the beer is no worse
than usual. So the complaint of this
leader was probably directed more
against the quantity than the quality.
Philosophers and logicians tell us, any
way that all differences of quality are
reducible to differences of quantity.

Unless alliance newspapers are read
one can have scarcely any knowledge
of the crazy views existing concerning
money. But little else is treated of.
1--WE want more money" ''Why does
not the government give us more
money!" "What is the good of the gov
eminent if it does not supply a circulate
ing medium sufficient to move crops
rotting in the fields and sufficient to
turn the wheels of idle machinery?"
And so on. A good deal of il, no doubt,
is inspired by cunning persons who
would seek to enrich themselves by the
disturbances which they know would
follow, and many with sort of green
goods" itch are watching the peoples
movement with anticipation; but after
allowing for these there is large resi-
due of honest men led away by finan-
cial heresies because their laborious
lives forbid them paying the question
mental attention. They are caught by
the superficial sheen, made brighter by
contrast with their own hard way of
earning money.
A cheaper medium would be no good
to them The fact that they are so
easily carried away by alliance fallacies
dooms them to toll. If they thought
more they would find themselves work
ing less as their judgments ripened;
and if they thought more they would
not listen to the vagaries that bubble
from calamity croakers. Many of the
political evils arise from too much gov
eminent. The true idea of government
is a police service, TO prevent abuses and
remove Instructions. The less, after
that, we have of government med
ding the better. The alliance policy
would bring the government blunder-
| ing universally into business, causing
an anger following despair which would
not make it safe for Mr.. jeremiah Simp-
son. But there is little cause to fear.
The country is not likely to adopt a
jelly-fish or sting-ray currency because
| it appears so LUMINOSITY desirable to
the pOnderous intellects governing the
| peoples party.

a HUNTERS STORY.
The Mysterious Bear That Resolved Itself
Into Three.


Mart Kimble, one of the famous Kim
BILE family of hunters, tells the queerest
bear story told for many a day.
One morning, during his weeks hunt,
It was very foggy, and he had taken an
early start to get to a runway where he
hoped to knock over a deer. He could
not see more than a mile ahead of him,
and suddenly out of the fog doomed the
dim form of a big bear. Bruin had his
fore feet planted on a log, over which
he was peering through the haze. Mart
looked twice to make sure of his game.
then blazed away. The smoke from his
gun deepened the fog, and when it had
cleared away, the hunter was more
than Titled surprised TO see the bear
still in statuesque pose on the log and
still peering out into the bank Of fog.
Mart pulled up and gave the bear his
second barrel, and when the agitated
fog settled again, the hunter was al
most knocked off his feet by the sight
of the bear standing as before. Mart
is not in the habit of shooting more
than once to bring down bird or beast,
and the persistence of this bear in stand
ing there as if nothing had happened,
was so unusual, that Mart half made up
his mind that he had been wasting his
powder on ghost He determined to
make another shot, and if that failed,
to leave the woods on the double quick.
So he fred again. When he looked
ahead after the third shot the bear was
NOT IN he seen
Mart walked up to the log, and peep
ing over it discovered the mystery of
what he thought had been two ineffect-
i've shots Instead of one bear. there
Law three stretched out behind the log.
The hunter explains the presence of
three bears on the theory that they
were coming through the woods in
single file. As the first bear fell dead at
Kimble's first shot, the bear behind
took his place at the log, and was in
turn succeeded by the third bear.
'.If there had been another bear to
get upon that log, after l shot the third
time" said Mart, Il should have run
home the next minute and believe to
my dying day that had been shooting
at a spectre bear.--Dralie's Magazine

Journals COMMUNICATION.


Journals Communications.
Congressman Simpson has been re-
nominated and Congressman Otis was
defeated. There is nothing surprising
in Simpsons nomination. 1t was so
well assured that he had no opposition
True. he has done nothing of conse-
qnence for either his district or his
state, but he is regarded as q shrewd
and witty talker, who will be able to
hold his own upon the campaign stump.
There is something surprising, how
ever, in Otis defeat of course, Otis
ought never to have been sent to con-
gress in the first place; he has no more
fitness for such a position than-well,
than any of the other calamity states
men. But if his constituents couldregard
him as a suitable man two years ago
they certainly ought to have looked IA
vorably upon him this year. He
has violated no promise; he has
faithfully endeavored to per-
form all the absurd things he
told the people who elected him he
would try to do. That he did not sue
coed was not his fault; the brightest
statesman who ever lived could not
have carried through the foolish under
taking his supporters wanted him to
accomplish. Mr. Otis has good cause
to complain of his treatment. He is a
TT man to represent the party he be-
longs to, and should have been renom-
mated His successful competitor will
not come as near carrying out the will
of his constituents as he did, because
he cannot be elected The time for ca
lamity victories is past in Kansas
Otis defeat is specially hard when
viewed in the light of Simpsons enthu-
siastic Endorsement. Otis has been a
more faithful peoples party man than
his sockless associate. Simpson has
coquetted openly with the democrats,
has warmly espoused democratic doc
trines and made no secret of his partial
ity for that plutocratic party. Otis, on
the other hand, has kept in the middle
of the road" He has been third party
man to the core. And yet his party
ruthlessly slaughters him in convention
at the time he had reason to expect a
gratifying Endorsement Republics are
not only ungrateful, Mr.. Otis, but they
are undiscriminating and unfair. You
