as Madeline S. Bridges, that being her
nom de plume She is New Yorker Of
the city-a tall and slender brunette,
with distinguished bearing, a clear,
pale complexion, expressive dark eyes,
and is altogether quite attractive. She
Is quite linguist, too, translating from
French, German and Spanish, and ex-
GELS equally in light and airy verse and
in the more serious lines of both verse
and prose. In her playful little sketch,
"a Rain Bean, she i'd almost humor-
list; elsewhere plaintive, as in the fol
lowing selected from Lippincott's Maya
zine for October, 1889, and entitled of"
II you were safe in heaven
And at the outer gate,
Would our lives seem less even,
And mine be O harder fater
For then might hope by waiting
In penance and patient prayer,
Hourly my grief relating,
Some time 10 enter there,
Where the lowest may look highest
High a. "a crowned king
And The farthcst may come highest,
And the saddest he glad and sing.
But here, though ny soul beseech you,
Though We may meet and speak,
know can never reach you,
No matter how far / seek.
The foregoing piece is in strange con
trast with ''The Rain Beau, :" in which
the speaker is supposed 10 be an ardent
young man whose rare good fortune it
is 20 come upon his lady love in rainy
weather, when he had an umbrella and
she had none, and his conclusion is;
OF all wiles aud adIuncts that beguile
The soul 10 passion,
III swear wet umbrella caps the style
And leads the fashion.
Miss Bridges Tor Devere) is quite az
charming in conversation as in her
writings. Her voice is singularly low
and sweet, her manner gracious and re
fined, and withal she has a vast store Of
knowledge worth talking about.
Another woman whose poems have
been widely quoted is Miss Nora Perry,
of Boston. She must have been re
markedly precocious, for at the age Of
eight she wrote a thrilling, romantic,
sentimental and altogether emotional
story called "The Shipwreck," and she
must have advanced rapidly in judg
ment, for at sixteen she burned this
story and almost everything she had 50
far written and started anew.
She was born in Webster, Mass, but
taken in infancy 10 Rhode Island, where
she was reared. Ten years ago, after
winning some laurels IN literature, she
located in Boston. Her wit and vivacity,
great tact IN discussion and native ca
pacity for telling story soon gained her
many friends. Her first successful poem
was entitled Tying Her Bonnet Under
Her Chin, and it had rather an amusing
career. II was first offered TO The At
lantic and rejected. II was published in
newspaper and widely copied, and soon
one of the editors Of The Atlantic said to
friend Of the lady, IF Nora Perry
would write as good poem as Tying
Her Bonnet Under Her Chin we would
pay her twenty dollars for it"

BISHOP 1. w. JOYCE.
Something of the History Of This
Prominent Divine.

Bishop l. W. Joyce, who is to preach
on Sunday morning at the re-opening of
the First M. E. church, is a practical
sample of self-made man. He is of
Irish ancestry and was born in Hamp-
ton county, Ohio. When about thirteen
years of age his parents removed to Tip
pecanoe county, Ind. He was converted
at sixteen. In 1859 he was admitted
into the Northwest Indiana conference
He always found room at the top. An
indefatigable student and worker, he
commanded the best places in the con-
ference. For four years he served as
presiding elder. In 1880 he represented
his conference in general conference. In
1886 he went as fraternal delegate to
the general conference Of the Methodist
church in Canada.
In the autumn of 1880 he was trans
ferred to the Cincinnati conference and
stationed in St. Paul's Methodist Epis-
copal church in Cincinnati. From there
he went to Trinity in the same city, serv-
ing full terms in each, and then was ap-
pointed back again to st. Pauls.
While serving his second year Of
his second term, he was elected
to the Episcopal office at the gen
eral conference of 1888. held in New
York. As a bishop he has had marked
success. His genial. sympathetic man.
ner wins all with whom he comes in con
tact. He is deeply read, thorough
scholar, profound preacher and pulpit
orator and man of rare culture.
DR.. w. L. Davidson, who is to preach
on Sunday night, is agent for the Sun
day school union and tract society o
the Methodist Episcopal church. He il
not unknown to many of THE CIrzIEs
readers. who have heard him sing, preacf
and lecture. On Monday night he viii
give lecture in the auditorium of thu
church on "A tramp through Switzer
land" All who can possibly do 81

The resolution was as follows:
"Whereas, 1t is now admitted on al
sides that mistake was made in the es
innate of the amount Of General Young

which was properly due,
Resolved, That a committee OF thre'

there was any negligence on the part

BLAKELY, MINI. Feb. 27.-J. H. John

and devotee Of the farmers alliance doc

ment in this section by issuing letter
to the farmers urging them to Or

citation.
Johnson maintains that the farmers of
Dakota and Minnesota have lost $685.
900 900 ON wheat sold up to December
8, 1891, Of this years crops. He then
proceeds to show the farmers their folly
in not building their own mills and there
by securing 81 bushel for their wheat
with ton of feed per hundred bushels.
together with some minor advantages.
Any community that can be delivered OF
$4,000 bushels of wheat, he says can
thereby keep a fifty barrel mill run

for $1,000. This, Mr.. Johnson says
will secure 81 bnshel tor every bushe
of wheat raised by the share holders.
Johnson would allow so cts. per barre
for the handling of the -four, and the
agents he would send abroad to dispos,
Of it would be farmers sons.
