the Worlds fair says: II was much as
tonished one day to fnd myself face 20
face with q woman who recently had
attracted the attention OF the entire
country, and whose name was on every
lip but few weeks ago H. was Miss
Lizzie Borden of Fall River. Twas curl
ous enough to observe her closely. aud
must say / WAS decidedly favorably i'm
pressed Ly my scrutiny. She was in the
Arts building, and her quiet appreciation
OF the many beautiful displays there gave
me an insight into her Character
She was accompanied by another young
woman. and they appeared to be enjoy
ing themselves very much. could
hardly realize that this was the young
woman whose famous trial for so
heinous a crime as that with which she
had been charged had 80 recently C m
cluded. Always believer in her in
nocence. as watched her on that bright
September day strolling about the
grounds, free woman. enjoying the
beauties Of this wonderful fair, was
more convinced than ever that she was as
innocent as babe of the horrible deed
which startled whole nation by it's atroc-
ily. Aud what change it was for her
from Taunton Jail to the wonders OF
the White City. She seemed to appreciate
It and she walked hither and yon. She
seemed to take delight in the mere
physical act OF walking. Yet her face
when in repose showed traces OF the ter
rible mental strain which she endured
during those long, dreadful months Of im-
prisonment.

Providencs railroad men are now Is
cussipg the bill introduced into congress
by Congressman Davis OF Kansas. The
bill is 'To establish com mission to COM
pei the use OF safety appliances on all

merce and protect railroad en-

o; the commissi on TO inquire into the

agement AID running of railroad trains
to the end that incompetent men shall
not be employed in responsible posi- ions,

arded by such depar ure."
An American lady interviewer asked me
the other day what thought the noblest
career for a woman. j said l thought it
was marriage. She seemed astonished.
That is, in fact, my deliberate opinion.
More, believe that IL the question were
put to any woman who has lived the ma
irons life and has sons and daughters
grown up whether looking back, she would
still deliberately choose TO be the mother of
these sons and daughters or would become
a journalist, novelist, teacher, nurse, artist,
many occupations open to women she
would without the least hesitation declare
that she would prefer the matrons life as
the noblest and highest lot open to women.
To enrich the world with noble children,
to give the country more brave hands and
honest hearts-what, in comparison with
this, is the independence of the single wom-
an or her work-her average work. Do
not talk about the isolated cases of genius.
Talk about the average work. That all
women cannot marry is perfectly true; that
women are making it every day more diff
cult to marry by taking mems work is also
true.s - -
