Passing Glimpse of a Famous
Woman. ~

This woman who sweeps by in the
gay crowd on Broadway was IA
nous beauty in her day. She is still
good looking. Her face is q trife
stouter and there are wrinkles on her
brow and crows ieet il her cheeks,
but it is still face that would be
noticed in a crowd. It is Mrs. Kate
Chase Spr2gue. -
This once famous beauty, who
welded more power in American
politics, perhaps, than any other
American woman has ever done, is
going down the hill fife in a quiet.
easy way. She comes to New York
occasionally to visit friends, but her
home is in Washington. She is no
longer the gay butterfly Of fashion,
and her dresses, while fashionable
and we'll made, have not the dash
that made her so much talked about
in ante-belluln days.
Her life in the national capital is a
simple one. There is none of the lux
ury of Edgewood that characterized
her life during her fathers career.
But she is happy, nevertheless, for
her children are growing up around
her, and she looks on calmly at the
progress of events with a smiling face.
The White House has passed out of
her mind forever. It was an idle
dream at best. But there is sun
shine at Edgewood such as this wom-
an could never have found had she
become the wife of IL president OF the
United States.-NeW York Mail and

A Story for Young Men,

There is a moral in the following
story it is true, and it is applicable
to every position in the commercial,
literary or professional world. It
will apply to the most eminent law
yer and to the clerk in a corner
grocery. A young st. Paul man
applied to a we'll known merchant in
this city tor the place Of assistant
bookkeeper. He was asked wha t
salary he expected, and replied:
Eighteen dollars a week.
eve had decided not to pay more
than fifteen, demurred the merchant.
swell, SIR" answered the young
man, frankly, "Ineed the place, but
you must remember.I should work
just as hard ifyou paid me but IS q
week"
".All right, SIR replied the mer-
chant, with anapproving smile, you
ore just the kind Of man we want!
Goto work tomorrow ut 500 aweek. ]"

Colored Girls Can Get White,

Among the curious incidents of the
thunderstorm which played such hnv-
oc in the interior Of New Jersey on
Friday none has caused more surprise
thanafreak of the lightning. On that
day the residence of Mr.. Il. M. Riley,
cashier Of the Cumberland Bank, on
West Commerce street, Bridgeton,
was struck by lightning, The fluid
ran down the chimney, struck an iron
screen which was three or four feet
AWAY from the fireplace, and then
passed to the arm Of the cook, q col
ored woman, who was standing near.
She says she did not feel the shock.
The fluid entered her wrist and pass
ed out her elbow, turning. the flesh
a snowy whiteness. Her arm was
only slightly burned, md otherwise
shesuffered no pain ut all. The doc
tor who attended her says that in all
probability her arm between the wrist
and elbow will remain white.-New0

Heroes All AROUND U.s.

New York Herald: s.There are he
foes and heroes, and there are hero
mes ana lll heroines," said Chauncey n.
.DepeW, in speaking Of the matter OF
personal bravery. 1.-THE, man who
shows bravery on the battlefield is
not always the greatest hero. In
fact, | believe that a great many
brave deeds were done on the BATTLE.
field in the heat and excitement. Of
action by men who ordinarily would
notbe'considered brave at all. Many
brave man has refused to 90 out
and be shot ina duel, and many q man
at heart a coward has faced the bull
eft OF an adversary with no outward
sign offear.. As a result many per-
sons would call the man who fought
brave man and the one who refused
a coward.
Bravery is hard quality to de-
fine, continued Mr.. .Depew. 'sThere
are biue-shirted men who go over our
railroad lines every day in engine
cabs who would laugh at you if YOU
intimated to them that they are he
roes, and who, in spite of all, are as
brave as any man who ever drew a.
sword or carried a musket They
don'tmake any fuss about what they
do, but when the time comes for them
to preform some duty at the risk of
their lives they are scarcely ever found
lacking in spirit and determination.
Nor are women behind men in this
matter of personal bravery" contin-
ued Mr.. Depew. "Take the case of
the woman operator at Johnstown,
"a, at the time of the great food
there: That woman might have es-
capped had she chosen to leave her
post ofduty while there was yet time.
/ She refused to do it and stuck to her
instrument, sending the news of the
great disaster as long as she could.
She lost her life. She must have
known as she sat at the instrument,
the water rising and the building in
which she was working tottering to
its fall, that she was doomed But
she stayed at her post and met her
post and her death without finching.
This is what l call heroism. You
may search the records of any num-
Der of the battlefelds and you will
find nothing finer"

eminent presbyterian divine of Brook
Ign, will retire from active service in
the pulpit. He preached sermon
on Easter which was not Only one of
farewell, but also one ofreview OF 80
years continuous service in this one
parish. He is IS years old and
has performed an extraordinary
amount of hard work in his life
time. He ranks next to Rev. DR..
Storrs in the length of his service in
Brooklyn, and for years his name was
linked with those OF Beecher, Storrs
and Talmage as the most popular
protestant preachers in that city. DR..
Cuyler said that in the first year of
the war $4,000 in gold was raised
for the Union soldiers. Five ofshoots
had sprung from the original church.
In the 80 years of his passionate DR..
Cuyler said that he had married $50
couples. baptized 962 children,
preached $3.50 sermons, besides
making public addresses. Since he
has been pastor the church has spent

THE FRENCH CRISIS.

The defeat Of the French Ministry is not
as significant as such occurrences usually
are in countries in which parliamentary
government prevails. The vote was OF an
administration bill curtaiIiGg the power Of
associations; some provisions in It were in
tended to limit the power Of religious COM
munities to acquire land and to prohibit
designations among their members. There
were in the Chamber SOC members present
and voting; Of these on a motion 20 sustain
the Government, 3j4 members voted no and
only 202 voted aye; Of the majority 191
were Radicals, who. on the question IN
issue, would 20 further against tile assOcia-
tons than the supporters Of the Govern

voted against VI. de Freycinet, on grounds
of principle, were only 113 out Of 500. The
vote, however, was emphatic, and the mem
beTs Of the FTeycinet Administration fol-
lowed precedent and rendered their TeSig-
nations TO N. Carn0t,
The incident does not imply a difference
Of opinion between the Cabinet and the
majority Of the House; it merely signifies
that, with its customary love Of change, the
Chamber has got tired Of NJ. dc Freycinet
and wants a new deal lie has bad "a longer
term Of office than most Of his predecessors.
He became Prime Minister at the fall Of
the TTard Cabinet, in March, 1890, and
would have been two wears IN power if
Thursdays vote had been postponed for a
month. Before that he had served three
previous terms as Premier. and had been
successivelya member Of the Defaure, Wad-
dingt0n and the Tt ard Cabinets. He is, in
truth, one Of tie few men whom France
trusts, and TO whom she turns 10 emergen-

Radicals who joined Cassagnac and other

that direction. Under these circumstances
a sensible Radical would decline 10 take the
responsibility Of overlhrowing an admins

but the appetite for change and disorder is
so innate in the mind Of the ordinary French
politician that On Thursday the Radical
faction could not resist the temptation of
voting De Freyclnet out Of power, though
they could not possibly gain anything by
doing so. The only party which can succeed
to power is the party which De Freycinet
led; and the only effect Of the vote of
Thursday will be to restore it to Office under
less experienced leadership than his.

chasers were willing to buy for future de-
livery. Some was bought to b. delivered ia
October, some in November. some in Deem
Der and so on. In this way the crop was
marketed at less loss to the producer than
if buying for future delivery hsd been pro-
hibited. AS a matter of fact buying for
future delivery is IN essential condition OF
trade. The future may be longer or shorter,
but any date beyond the present is a future.
That there is speculation in all such deal
ings is admitted. The merchant who buys

Interesting Topics Discussed at Their
Meeting.
The public school principals regular
monthly meeting held at Odd Fellows Hall
yesterday afternoon was very well attended.
Most Of the principals were present as well
as several School Directors.
Superintendent SWEET was the first to ad-
dress the gathering and recommended the
principals to allow school children who do
not 60 home to lunch to remain IN the class
rooms during iuclement weather. lie
thought it good practice to take pupils to
the Academy Of Sciences and State Mining
Bureau often, and advised that children liv-
ing near the park be instructed to go there
occasionally with maguifying glasses and
study botany aud entomology.
The Superintendent stated that the pub
lie school system Of this city was becoming
more like that Of Boston and advised the
principals 90 reduce arithmetic lessons in the
seventh and eighth grades 10 two a week .
Nothing VIII be lost" said he. "aDd think
the pupils are far enough advanced in that
study when they reach these grades to sac
ritce it and take up the study Of natural
sciences"
lie also instructed principals 70 issue a
general order through their schools, that
pupils, especially boys, come 10 school with
their shoes blackened.
After the Superintendent concluded his
remarks several principals arose and spoke
/ IN reference to a circular sent out by Mr.
SWEET recently, stating that substitute
teachers would not be sent To any school
after 9:l5 in the morning. The principals
claimed that Ii was an Injustice 10 them, as
| often teachers are taken sick at 10 and !
O'clock, and they are compelled to take
their places. One said that two Of her
teachers were taken sick yesterday fore

OF both classes.
Mr.. wett shut them off rather abruptly
/ by saying he did not propose to discuss the

Of Education.

rather indignant when he looked at their

that the teachers on this Coast were paid

States. and in consequence enjoyed them
