Women and Trinity College

Trinity college, Dublin, with sublime
indifference to such trifies as a general
election, gave itself up for the whole of
the week to an elaborate jubilation over
its 3OOth birthday. But there is more
serious business before it. Irishwomen
are beginning to claim that the whole
boon of higher education should not be
reserved for men. TheThave organized
petition, signed by 10000 women, to
the board of Trinity college, praying
that the tercentenary of the college may
be marked by the auspicious beginning
of a new era of increased usefulness for
the college. The petition is backed by
the signatures of eminent members of
English and Scotch universities, who
have seen the actual working of uni
yersity education for women.-Pall Mall

Interviewed recently about the coal
outlook ex-senator Eckley B. Coke said
that this region was somewhat behind
yet in its allotment, but would soon pick
up and better times could be expected.
The slight advance, he said, would be a
great benefit and would enable both
operators and employees to do better in
the future. The way that coal had been
selling in the past, and the risks met
with in the production of it, did not
bring the revenue that either were en-
titled TO.
He had no fear of the combine being
a detriment to the mining OF anthracite
coal, but would help it along and make
it more prosperous. Of course these
things could not be done all at once, he
said, and time must be allowed for them
to shape themselves. In speaking of
the worlds fair he stated that he was
now interested in helping the state to
get up coal exhibit, but could not yet
say whether or not he would have one
of his own at the fair.

Miss MarIowe,s BirthpIaoa.

Calbeck, England, is quaint moor
land town in the mining region of Cum
berlandshire. Southeast of it is the fa-
nous lake region. Very near is Cocker
mouth, where Wordsworth was born;
and farther to the southeast, under the
throw of the mighty Helvellyn," are
Grasmere, where the poet and his sister
lived so many years, and which was
later the scene of De Quincey's wild
dreams, and Keswick, the home of
Southey and Coleridge. Just over this
edge of the region which inspired the
famous lake school of poetry was born,
Aug. II, late in the sixties, child des-
tined to reflect great credit on the players
art and to wear the deep regard of the
American theater going public in the
last decade Of the Nineteenth century.
The evolution of talent, or the sudden
sprouting Of the seeds of genius from
apparently barren soil, is an interest
ing study to all intelligent men and
women.
The child in question, Sarah Frances
Frost, has become we'll known to this
decade as Julia Marlowe, and was an
example of the developing of talent
from what seemed to be an absolutely
unprepared stock. Nowhere in the past
of either family from which she eAang
is discernible the line of generation
which has given to the American stage
one of the most charming personalities
which graces it today.
The childhood of little Fannie, as she
was then called, gave no promise of the
future. When she was five years old
her parents immigrated from England,
settling first in Kansas; but a year later
they moved to Cincinnati, where the
child was placed at school. There were
soon noted some of the qualities that
have since distinguished her. She was
a show child, reading uncommonly we'll
and possessing a good singing voice. 1t
was the latter which resulted in her first
appearance on the stage.-Mildred Aid

A Lackawanna county paper says the
Jermyn breaker and the locality nearby
is great rendezvous for tramps, and at
almost any time half dozen or so of
the neversweats can be found there.
Parties living in that vicinity have no.
ticed during the past few days that an
unusual number of tramps had congre-
gated, and one party AYERS that he count
ed thirty there one evening. Word was
brought to the police, and last night a
raid was made. Only three were cap
tured, but the officers found evidences
that many others had been around.
One of the men captured told the Off
Ger that the Pennsylvania tramps were
preparing to hold a convention near
Scranton. Headquarters were the Jer-
myn breaker, and the session was to
open just as soon as a full representation
would arrive. Last year the meeting
was held at an old breaker near Hazle-
ton and was attended by 250 tramps.

Marion Harland commands halt in
the claims of women for more rights,
and yet Boston lawyer says that under
our present statutes a woman whose
husband i'll treats her is compelled to
leave her home-even if she hires the
house, pays the rent, owns the furniture
and does all the housework, while he is
getting his living out Of her-in order to
put herself in a position to maintain ac-
tion for separate support. He says case
has come to his notice where woman
so placed, under fears of threats made
by her husband of tying her up and
putting her in an insane asylum if she
tried to leave him, planned to leave him
by pretending to pay visit "down
east"
He consented to her going if her
sister would keep the house in her place.
The sister came and the wife left, but
instead of going east went west and
earned her living by her own work. A
judge of the Massachusetts court has
ruled that after such leaving she could
not say that she was living apart from
her husband for justifable cause. The
wife's testimony of ill treatment was
corroborated by several witnesses, and
her terror of his threats to declare her
insane and confine her was known to
them, but the court declared she had no
case. The question of support is always
with the judge, who can say one dollar
year if he likes.-Springfeld (Mass)

A CANTER.

When the breath OF the morning is cool and
keen,
And the smile of the sun in the heavens is
seen,
One may forget that the world has ills
BY taking n canter across the hills.
Away from the hustle and everyday grind
On q high mettled steed of the thoroughbred
kind,
With exultation the bosom thrills
When taking canter across the hills.
When the body seems fettered in listlessness,
chains,
And the blood goes sluggishly through the
veins.
1t Is better than powders and better than
pills
To go for a canter across the hills.
