WIrH the experience Of Conkling to
guide, to warn him, it seems to ms
foolhsrdy undertaking for Senator Hill
to attempt to discipline Cleveland The
contest that Conkling, strong man
with wonderful influence and magnif
cent eloquence. waged with Garfield who
was inferior to him in everything ek-
cept official position, was hopeless from
the beginning. A Senator cannot compel
a President IL the President is firm, no
matter what the disparity in intrinsic
ability, acumen and power Hill has
fnesse where Conkling had force and
character; but Cleveland has determi
nation, courage and convection to which
Garfield was an utter stranger. The
power and influence Of the relative posi-
tiona Of the two contending parties are
the same. Cleveland, Ike Garfield. is the
President; Hill, like Conkling. is
Senator backed like Conkling by that
mysterious power Of Senatorial courtesy
and heavy-footed running mate, Muir.
ply, corresponding to "Me Too" Platt.
But it seems to us. that the result OF
the contest Ia this case os in the pre-.
vious case. is foregone conclusion.
Cleveland has sent in his nominations.
II the Senate refuses to confirm them
there you are. Cleveland can wait
as patiently as their constituents, who
wish Offices, viii allow the Senators tc
wait. Thst seems the key to the situa.
tion. II the Senators wish to test the
rigidity of the Cleveland backbone they
have chance, perhaps the only. and th'
best chance of their lives But the proba
bility Of success seems less than whel
much stronger Senator was unable I,
break the back Of a much weaker Pres.
dent.

SHE WILL CEASE TO CHARM. q

SHE WILL CEASE TO CHARM. ~
1T is a woman's business to please,
says the genial and wise DIR. Holmes.
Il don't say that it is not her business
to vote, but do say that woman who
does not please is false note in the
harmonies of nature. She may not
have youth. beauty, or even manner;
but she must have something in her
voice or expression, or both, which IL
makes you feel better disposed toward
your race to look at or listen to"
That may not agree with what Is
supposed to be the Century Club
girls idea Of womanly woman; but It
is the idea that Tennyson sang that the
gospels teach, that Shakespeare
described, that Homer loved, that all
good. true and beautiful women live.
Emerson says:
/ care not how you are dressed
Hor for the fashion OF your behavior;
But whe her you charm me,
Bid my bread feed and my fire warm me.
With the question whether a woman
should charm or not we have nothing to
do. Il is raised by the end of-the-cen
tury women who profess to believe that
there is something ignoble in appealing
to the senses aud sympathiesi that
women must appeal to reason, yea, even
to force.
The tendency Of the day is TO utilitari-
anism in woman. She herself is push.
ing her claims as a bread winner, and
desiring TO be considered capable of mix
ing in the struggle of life on the same
plane and on an equal footing with men.
With that worthy ambition we have no
quarrel, provided it is pursued in a
womanly way. If 1t is a poor copy OF
mans way we have an unending and
bitter quarrel
A woman need not cease TO have charm
Of manner because her sphere Of useful.
ness and labor is broadened, any more
than she should lose the wonderful sym
metry Of her exquisitely curved and
rounded person by healthful, exhiliratine
exercise. As the latter develops sym
metry and enhances beauty, so the
former should add TO the mysterious
magnetic idealization Of womanly at
fractions that we call charm. It is tn,
glory, the spotheosis of mind aud man
ner.
The aim of culture. and the test Of in
telligence are that we shall be better
sweeter, purer, more sympathetic, more
entertaining company for each other
A woman may have learning and all the
various experiences of love- sorrow, re
morse, triumph and society, and still no
be cultivated-not have charm of man
ner or person.
Then what is she2 Has she fulflle,
any mission2 Has she been true Il
herselfl Has she assumed mans plac
to weaken his character and not improv,
her own2 Has she sacrificed charm OF
the altar Of strength-ceased TO b.
womanly without accomplishing manli
nessg
II So she has failed. She is "a falls
note in the harmonies Of nature"

Market reports allege an

Hence this is a paradox. A

then be sold at 81, which shall
now go at $I.65. All strictly

Philadelphia Ledger.
The great Boston FIRE Of last Friday was
no oubt aggravated by the combustible
and explosive character of the contents Of
the building in which it originated, but
the fatalities attending it evidently had
their origin in the construction of tall
buildings on narrow streets, covered with
a network Of overhead wires Boston
has suffered severely from these faults
Il would we'll repay the city to bury its
telegraph wires. limit the height Of
buildings in proportion to the widths Of
streets, aud widen the latter wherever
possible.

II the lighthouse service Is TO be gov.

be so governed within as well as with

it arouses mild interest only in the
ordinary college bred man, and excites
the enthusiasm Of no other class than

The question has been before

has never received the attention of q
man who had any thing else to do, or Of
any woman who knew how TO do any

Of which much can be said, because there
is much that is not known at all and
much that is known indefinitely. OF
Shakespeare's life, habits, surroundings
and OF the times In which he lived we
know but little; we guess at everything.
Shakespeare. the greatest poet and
play wright who ever lived, died nearly
three hundred years ago, but there is as
much doubt and speculation about the
events of his life, his character, attain

BURNED TO DEATH.

Mrs. MuIhoiIand Caught in Midnight
Fire at Her House and Almost Gre
mated.
Mrs. Rebecca Mulholland was burned
to death this morning at her home, No.
929 Lowering avenue She was it is
supposed, handling a lamp when it ex-
ploded, setting fire to her clothing and
subsequently to the house.
She was found at the foot of the
stairs leading from the bedroom where 1t
is supposed the FIRE started.
Her body is burned beyond recognition.
Both Of her limbs are almost completely
burned off Her arms were also burned
to 3 crisp.
Mrs Mulholland was about 90 years of
age. Her husband died about six years
ago leaving the property which was
burned this morning. She has no
children.
Deputy Coroner Fox was informed of
her death aud he went at once to the
burned house and had the remains of
her body at the morgue at 3 o'clock. He
went out this morning and found one T
the dead woman's hands in the debris in
the cellar. An inquest on the body was
held at o'clock this afternoon.
The funeral arrangements have not
been completed, but will be when Mrs.
Murray of Germantown, a niece, will
arrive this afternoon. 1t is probable
that the funeral will take place ON Thurs
day morning, with high mass at the
Sacred Heart Church and interment in
the Cathedral Cemetery
The house is an entire loss The first
floor was not. however, burned as much
as the second story. An insurance il
on the house, but the amount was moi
stated this morning.

recently he said 1t is not to-day a roll of
honor. but of fraud" Containing he
says: "There are deserters and bounty
jumpers upon it, and other men who
were never in the army at all.
The Democratic and the Republican Con-
gressmen have been equally guilty in
swelling the pension list. and the pen
sion agents have contributed their share
in piling up the cost" All Of this is
true, and is commonly known to be true.
The pension roll, of its present great
length, with several hundred thousand
more asking to have their names added
to II, thirty years after the last shot Of
the war was fred is recognized as a
gigantic swindle in itself and fraud upon
the people. There is not an intelligent
or an honest man living who
will not admit that this coun-
try need not expend twice
as much as Germany expends TO main
tain her standing army Of about 1900, 900
men. More than half Of this army are
maintained on a war footing, the re-
mainder are ready for call. But the Ger.
man military establishment costs $50,
900, 900 per annum, our pension list con-
taining, according 20 General Slocum,
deserters, bounty jumpers and men who
were never in the army at all, is rapidly
approaching 5000, 900, 900. Twenty
years ago Grant and Garfield agreed that
the honest pension claims had reached
the limit at $2s 100000. While Genera
slocum is right in saying that both
Democrats aud Republicans are respon
sible for the growth of the pension list
the Republican party in Congress passed
and the Republican Presidents, Hayes
and Harrison, signed the Arrears o.
Pensions and the Dependent Pension
bills, which have been the means Of the
gross frauds.

New CASTLE, March 21.-Just three
weeks from to day New Castle will again
be disturbed by municipal election
which will turn the tiller Of city
government into the hands of new men
for two years to come. The election will
be held on the second Tuesday in April,
as provided by law, for successors to
City Councilmen Eckles, Vickery
and DeAkyne City Treasurer William
j. Ferris and City Assessor Edward
Dalby. Although politics will not be
directly brought into the election, there
will be two distinct tickets, the Citizens
Reform and the Independent Demo
cratic. OF course a large part of both
tickets will consist of Democrats. City
Council candidates have not yet been
agreed upon.
City Treasurer Ferris will doubtless
succeed himself The Office does not pay
an independent fortune every year and
Mr.. Ferris has so faithfully and con
scientiously discharged the duties of his
office that, If he does not object, he will
be elected to succeed himself.
