POET-AUTHORESSES,
Two American Ladies to Whom the
Gods Have Been Very Kind.

Constance Fenimoxe Woolson Inherited
Wealth, Genius and Beauty, but Is
Welded Only to Literature-Mrs. Julia
Caroline Ripley Dorr.
The poet is not without honor in his
own country, as the prophet is said to
be, and so Cleveland still prides herself
On sort of claim to Constance Feni-
more Woolson. True, the poet-author-
ess was born in Claremont, N. H., lived
in Florida during the years when she
was best known to Americans, and has
for some time lived in England, but
grew UP, developed and first became
famous in Cleveland.
Cooking stoves and literary taste made
the Woolsons famous many years ago.
Charles Jarvis Woolson combines two
talents not often found in one person.
He taught school in Virginia and edited
a paper in New Hampshire when but a
youth, but in early manhood took up
the trade of manufacturing in iron
where his father left it and carried it to
a far greater success. He married at
Cooperstown, N. Y, Miss Pomeroy, a
niece of Fenimore Cooper, and so their
daughter received his name along with
large share of his talent.

FOR RED SNAPPER FISHING.
Captain Ben Squirting Is to Take a Booth
bay Schooner to the Gulf of Mexico.

Captain Ben Squirting is now at East
Boothbay, preparing to start for the
Gulf of Mexico as soon as he shall be re-
covered from temporary illness that
has overtaken him since he went from
Portland. Capt. Squirting is to take out
new fishing schooner of about so tons,
which has been built at East Boothbay
for one of the firms that carry on the
red snapper fishing business from Pensa-
cola. Capt. Squirting took a schooner
out last winter and went several trips af-
ter the red snapper. The new schooner
is built on the latest lines and has the
short foremost style of rig.
The red snapper is one of the most
delicious fish that is caught, and it is oft
en- found in markets as far north as Bos-
ton and New York. 1t is deep water
fish and ranges over the whole Gulf of
Mexico Portland fishing firms used to
send schooners into the Gulf to partici-
pate in this fishery; but of late years the
Pensacola firms have crowded northern
competitors out. The fish. too, are get
ting scarcer, and it is necessary to go
farther for them. The fishing schooners
cruise 400 miles or more from Pensacola,
and get some of their best hauls on the
Campechy banks, off the coast of Hon

Byron's Daughter.

A pathetic little story about Che igno-
rance Of Lady Lovelace, Byron's only
daughter, Of her fathers poems, which
we find in one Of the volumes, has al
ready produced an explanation that
before her death she became constant
student of them and conceived an in
tense admiration Of the father whom
she had been brought up to dislike.
Here is the story:
''She was an invalid for some time
prior to her death and seldom left the
house, though her three children-Lord
Ockham, Lord Wentworth and Lady
Anne-rode out daily on their ponies. l
have been told by the medical man who
Intended Lady Lovelace that he had
from her own lips the astonishing state
ment that even after marriage and up
to a comparatively late period of her
short life she had never read line Of
her fathers poems"
Little did poor Byron dream of such
filial dereliction when he wrote the
many tender passages scattered through
his works, and to which he doubtless
trusted to rehabilitate him in the esti-
nation of the child he loved so dearly,
for surely those touching words, had
they met her eye, should have counter
acted any adverse impression made upon
her infant mind by his calumniators.

Real White Foxskins.

It has generally been considered that
white foxskins were of the same myth
cal nature as chickens teeth, but Van
couver furrier was exhibiting q short
time ago what he claimed were the pelts
of five white foxes. The man is an ex-
pert naturalist and has been dealing in
furs in the northwest for forty years.
He says these are the first white foxes
he ever heard of, but he is absolutely
sure the pelts are genuine foxskins.
The conformation has been carefully
preserved, and the big brush is Of
course attached. The fur is snow white,
spotless and beautifully soft. The fur
rier bought them from seal hunter,
who caught the foxes at the last station
to the north of eastern Siberia, several
hundred miles north of Petropaulovsky.

Constance was already noted as a con-
tributor to the local press, and soon
made an arrangement with the Har-
pers, in whose pages the world first read
s'Anne," east Angels" and other pro-
auctions Of less note. All her writings
show her lover of nature and sym
pathizer with the unfortunate, as well
as something Of hero worshiper. But
her heroes and heroines are largely Of
her own personal selection, consisting Of
those who deserved success, but failed
to secure it. Pages of prose would not
set this forth SO clearly as she has done
it in the first and last stanzas Of her
poem, "Hero Worship
HE is not what you think" judges wise,
Can we not have ValhaIla Of our own
Within our hearts, where all the souls we prize
Shall sit in state, each on his royal throne?
What matter if we do not always choose
The few whose names, well weighed, ye write
above
AS laurel worthy; do ye then refuse
Our hearts free right to honor whom we lover
What is one false among thousand true
A thousand opening lives so well begun9
HE is no hero, as you think, say you?
one.
Back, judges, to your work Of weighing, slow,
The dead We destinn to Fame's courts abovel
But leave US free to worship here below
With faith and hope the living whom we love.
Miss Woolson is forty-four years old
and quite alone in the world since the
death, in 1879, Of her mother, to whom
she was devoted. One fact often noted
in her writings is that while they show
wonderful familiarity with nature in
Ohio and Florida, New England and the
northern lakes and other places where
she has travelled they as yet show no
special interest in the old land where
she has lived a dozen years.
Another poet-authoress who began to
write in childhood is Mrs. Julia Caroline
Ripley Dorr, whose first published pro-
duction was poem sent to The Union
Magazine without her knowledge by
her husband, who was delighted to find
in his newly acquired wife literary
genius. That was in 1848, and Mrs.
Dorr still writes occasionally. She was
born in Charleston Feb. Is, 1925. her
father, William Young Ripley, being
native of Vermont, and her mother
one Of a French family who fed from
Hayti at the time of the slave insurrec-
tion. She was reared chiefly in Yer
mont, and in 1S47 married Seneca R.
Dorr, to whom the country is indebted
for urging his wife to enter the literary
field at once.

A meeting of the stockholders of the
Yarmouth Manufacturing Co. will be
held at Masonic hall, Monday, November
2Sth, at 7.30 p. M, to see if they will
transfer their charter to the Electric
Light & Power Co. and take stock in the
same to certain amount. 1t is claimed
that the purposes of the old company
will be fully carried out by the new, and
that the town will lie in condition, as
never before, to encourage manufacture
ers to locate here, owing to the very
favorable terms and condition of obtain
ing power for large or small manufacture
ing, which will be offered by the new

A Giant Sewing Machine.

The popular idea of the sewing ma
chine is an insignificant looking little
affair which can be readily pushed about
from place to place by child, but they
are not all like that by any means. A
giant sewing machine has lately been
finished at Leeds, England. The ma
chino, which is to be used for attaching
cotton betting, is said to weigh 81 tons.

The virginian's Break.


A well known family in South st.
Louis gave little dinner the other
evening in honor Of half dozen friends.
Among the guests was prominent Vir
gilman, an ex-Confederate soldier who is
quite familiar in the politics of Mis-
souri,. He partook heartily Of the re-
past, and was full of anecdotes and
witticisms, which kept the guests in
great laughter and merriment.
At last the hostess caused to be brought
out the customary coffee tray, with
cups and saucers so small as to give one
the idea of a toy shop. Fine china they
were of course, but neither of them
would contain more than two table
spoonfuls Of coffee.
The Virginian became suspiciously
silent. He put the tiny spoon into the
tiny cup, removed it, replaced it and
finally leaned back in his chair as though
undetermined as to what was expected
OF him under the circumstances. He
was evidently nonplused. Under the
Eight of his stony silence the converse
ton dragged and then died out alto
gether. The situation was becoming to
be strained when the Virginian turned

s'Excuse me, madam, for saying it.

and from the lakes to the gulf, but my

ment the Virginian had regulation
