New York's Benefactress.

When Mr.. Tilden began to grow old
he had in his bachelors household a
quiet little girl, the granddaughter of
his sister. The little girl was fond of
reading, and used to read to the old
lawyer. whose eyes, no doubt, often
rested upon her benignantly. Years ran
by; the astute lawyer carefully planned
great gift to the public in the form of
a library; and in the fullness of years
was gathered to the majority. His will,
like many others containing a grand
scheme OF benevolence, proved to be but
piece OF waste paper. The old mans
cherished life design was about to fail,
when the quiet little girl, now grown to
womanhood, stepped in without demon
stration, as usual, and bestowed 81, OO0.-
O0o OF her share of the Tilden estate upon
the library as planned. 1t is a notable
act, and the name of Laura Pelton
Hazard deserves to be memorable. On
the walls of the Tilden library there
should be painting of the old LAWYER
with the quiet little child reading to

innate friends that she discusses the war
and the brilliant record of her hero hus-

the year he made such and such a charge
in such and such battle. One of the
finest pictures she has of her husband
represents him on horseback. He looks
an ideal trooper in the photograph. Years

Worlds Fair Women.

Illinois has surpassed all other states
In giving women representation among
her state commissioners for the Worlds
fair and appropriating $4,000 for their
especial use. Colorado has also given
women place on her state board and
pays salary of 500 per month to those
appointed to the special work. The New
York lady managers are at work despite
their failure to obtain an appropriation.
Rhode Island has four women in state
commission of sixteen members. In the
state of Washington the lady managers
are ex-officio members of the board.
Maine divides its state commission equal
ly between four women and four men.
In every instance excepting the three
special appointments in Colorado the
lady commissioners receive no salary

1t seems little odd that Bernhardt,
Patti and Langtry should each be re-
ported as engaged in writing a book at
the same time. A letter just received
from well posted literary man in Lon
don tells us that Mrs. Langtry has
signed contract with an English pub
Usher to produce book. Now, the
simple fact is that Mrs. Langtry is in no
respect clever with the pen. She told
me herself once that she would never at
tempt to write anything, for, to use her
own words, ''that is something entirely
foreign to me-" So some one else will
have to produce" the book for her, un-
less she has been taking "literary les
sons" Bernhardt, on the other hand,
has literary talent; in fact it would be
difficult to name something which the
divine Sarah could not do if she chose to
put her mind to it. The great French
actress, am told, is to produce book
on America very soon after she returns
to Paris, and she can transcribe the
''notes" which she is making while jour
neying through America. Patti can
write '.just a little Bit" or enough"
said friend, ''to put out respectable
book" whatever that may mean. 1t
will certainly be curious to read these
three books when they come out. Bern
hardt's, understand, will, in all proba-
bility, be out first.-New York Epoch.
