MRS. W. II. TOBIN. preliminary con-
vention at Dallas. where some 800 were
present, decided to have two organiza-
tions Of men and women respectively.
The women went to work with will
and not only gathered very respecta-
BILE lot of Texan specimens Of work and
curios, but raised money in all the effect
i've ways known to women. At the end
Of year it was found that the men had
done practically nothing except to spend
all the money the ladies had turned over
to them, for the latter were under con-
troll of the former SO far as finances
went. Then the ladies determined on
an independent organization and in spite
Of persistent opposition got it incorpo-
rated July 26, 1892.
It was late, but they accomplished
wonders. Mrs. W. H. Tobin of Austin
was unanimously elected president, and
several vice presidents and directors
were chosen. In every city and good
sized town some lady was chosen to
lead in the work They gave elocution-
ary contests, readings, suppers, concerts
and balls and finally got up voting
contest for the most popular young lady
in Texas, Which brought feW hundred
dollars from the young men. Their zeal
attracted attention, and some large con-
tributions We're made by men interested
in the state. George Gould and G. P.
Huntington gave $4,000 each-more, i'll
fact, than all others contributed.
Thus the ladies not only raised the
money for the building, but enough to
secure statues of the heroes of Texan
history, and these make quite an addi-
tion to the display. Among the ladies
most prominent in this great work are
Mrs. E. M. House, Mrs. J. B. Stuggs of
Dallas, Mrs. Val c. Giles, Mrs. ]. M.
Burroughs, Mrs. Judge Henry, Mrs. G.
F. Drake and Mrs. Anna D. Hearne.
The fact that Texas is represented at the
fair at all is due entirely to these ladies
and their associates.

JOHN BOYD THACH

JOHN BOYD TIIACHER. facturer. He was
once q prominent candidate for his
party's nomination for governor, and, ac-
cording to the political gossips, had a mar.
row escape from being United States
senator in place of Governor HILL
It was Mr. Thacher who originated
the canalboat campaign of 1889, which
was ridculed without mercy at the start
and yet turned out great success fol-
the Democrats. He owns The Evening
Union newspaper of Albany, and both
as publisher and politician has always
been warm friend and supporter of
Mr.. Cleveland. When Mr.. Thacher was
appointed commissioner of awards for
the Worlds fair, he took a good look at
the existing system, and, i'll the classic
language of Chicago, Immediately pro-
ceeded to chick the stut1ing out of it. y
Foreign exhibitors came and saw and
kicked, but Mr.. Thacher had been smart
enough to get his plan approved by con-
gress, and kicking was in vain.
In all previous worlds fairs gold, a
silver and bronze medal were givel,
for the best, second best and third best
articles respectively in each exhibit.
The immense Importance of getting the
gold medal is illustrated by the fact that
an American brewing company which
took the first prize for beer d few years
ago declared it worth s., 100000 to them
in their business These awards were
made by juries of three, five or sever
men, but Mr.. Thacher declared the sys-
tenn liable to gross perversion. Bribery
and triclSery were resorted to, he said
and gross injustice done because one
piano. for instance, might excel in touch
another in tone, and SO on. He therefore
decided that all the medals should be O
bronze, and the special merits of eacl
article should be fully set forth in th'
accompanying diploma.
In the article of beer, for instance. tn
diploma will set forth the chemical purit.
and .'tone'' or whatever else makes tn
special excellence This, Mr.. Thache
thinks, will be fair, instructive and Civ
the buyer chance and not bestow sucl
lavish wealth on any one man or com
pany. Foreign exhibitors did not thin]
so, and there was much talk of refusal
to exhibit, but Mr.. Thacher prevailed Q,
the objectors to agree to a compromis
which provides for appeals to large
juries and finally to the whole depart
ment COMMITTEES.

A MEDICAL CONGRESS-.
ALL NATIONS OF THE WESTERN
WORLD TO BE REPRESENTED.

Two Thousand Physicians From North,
South and Central America. Hawaii and
the West Indies to Convene In Washing
ton--Important Subjects to Be BeDiscussed.
Truly this is the era Of centennials
and this the year of great national and
international gatherings. The Co1u1n-
bian qnadricentennial Of course takes
precedence, and every week Of its prog
ress will be distinguished by some great
gathering Of scientists, theologians, phi
lanthropists or men and women devoted
to the healing art. For the last named
this will be great year indeed. Their
principal gatherings will be known as
the International. the Pan-American, the
American and the British, ranking in
Importance in The order named.
The international medical congress
has no fixed term, but has thus far been
held about every second year. The first
was held in Paris, and those immediate
ly following attracted but little atten-
ton till the ninth was held in Washing
ton in 1887. The eleventh will be held
in Rome in the week beginning Sept. "a
next, and Professor Semmola Of Italy
will serve as presiding officer. The
American Medical association has al,
ready met at Milwaukee, as has also the
Association of Medical Editors, and the
British Medical association will hold it,
sixty-frst annual meeting at Newcastle
upon-Tyne Aug. IA.
Much more important than the last
two, however, and second only to the
first named, is the Pan-American con
gress, which is SO far an official affair
that it was provided for by act of con

ried to Miss Genevieve Bennett of Gala
way county and has one living child,
Bennett Clark" This is d little out OF
the usual line in that document. Still it
is well that the people should know that
he is not likely to be without a successor.
He is man, too, of much better edu-
cation than his Tammany Hall speech
would indicate, for he was graduated
from Bethany college, Virginia, in 1873,
and from tho Cincinnati Law school in
1876. These statements in his congress
sional life make us wonder at such SEN
tences in his speech as this:
Judge Crisp, Benton McMllin and US that
was raised among the niggers got many good
ideas from them. One was .hat no matter
when you cut snakes or tu.tle's head off 1t
win live till sundown.
But cold type gives no fair idea of the
Hon. Champ Clark. His awkward ges-
lures, his earnest, sanguine. glowing
manner, set Tammany on the roar. He
is q young and vigorous looking man,
though his hair is gray, and he will GER
tainly be heard in congress.

Shall + Complain?

Shall complain because the feast is DER
And all the banquet lights have ceased to shine?
For Joy that was and is no longer mine:
For love that came and went and comes no
more:
For hopes and dreams that left my open door
Shall |, who hold the past in fee, repiue:
Nay! there are those who never auatfed lifes
wine
That were the unbltst fate one might deplore.
To ST alone and dream at set of sun,
When all the world is vague with coming
night
To hear old voices whisper, sweet and low,
And see dear faces steal back one by one
And thrill anew to each long past delight
Shall complain, who still this bliss may know?

AN ELOQUENT PlkER.
Champ Clark of Missouri, Who Achieved
Fame by Speech.

Champ Clark of Missouri, Who Achieved
Fame by Speech.
Pike county, Mo, has long enjoyed
negative sort of fame, and the generic
name of ''Piker" used to be term of re-
proach in the far west. Now, however.
Pike has established its claim to great
ness by giving to the nation the eloquent
Champ Clark, who achieved sudden fame
by a singularly audacious speech at
Tammany Hall on the Fourth of July.
Champ, by the way, is not native
Piker, but was born near Lawrenceburg,
KY, on March 7. 1850. He has filled a
few offices in Missouri and will repre-
sent the Ninth district of that state in
the coming congress at least. Inciden-
tally during his career he has done sew
eral things besides holding office, such
as working on a farm, clerking in a
store, editing a country paper and prac-
ticing law, all Of which is elaborately
set forth i'll his little biography in the
Congressional Directory, as is also the
fact that on 'Dec. IA, 1881, he was mar

Things looked very doubtful for Jo-
seph, though, until Tjnsmith Robinson,
who had his shop on the ground floor Of
the tenement, applied himself to the So
luton of the problem Of prolonging the
infants existence. This tinsmith was q
cunning artisan and had made incuba-
tors for the propagation of bacilli and
microbes for scientific purposes. These
incubators were metal chests only 2 feet
long by 10 inches deep and 18 inches
wide, with water and air chambers SO
arranged that moist heat of any desir-
ed temperature could be maintained, but
one of them was plenty large for Joseph,
who was then only IA inches long and
weighed 2 pounds, and into it he was
placed.
He was sufficiently alive in a few hours
to demand nourishment, and Foster Fa-
ther Robinson administered it to him with
medicine dropper at the rate Of about
two tablespoonfuls of milk an hour.
The plan was entirely successful. When
the babe was weeks old, he had gained
pound and quarter in weight and
over inches in length, and his foster
parent had to make him a new incuba-
tor because the first was no longer large
enough.
His new nursery is larger and more
comfortable than the first one, has better
ventilating apparatus, and one of the
sides is made of glass SO that Joseph can
be seen reposing in his little wire basket
lined with wool. There is an automatic
regulator that closes the 5ventilators If
the temperature falls below SO degrees
and opens them if it rises above 100. 10.
seph now takes his nourishment from
regulation nursing bottle.
The idea Of incubators for prematurely
born infants is not an entirely new one.
Most well equipped maternity hospitals
have them, and many 8 precarious ex-
istence has been preserved BY their use.
Joseph's great good luck lay in the fact
that one was found for him at q moments s
notice and without any foresight Of the
necessity for it. and that some one who
understood the scientific principles in
volved was at hand to take him in charge.
He owes his life to an intelligent me-
chanic.

consecutive hours without rest in 1880.
Although woman has done very well
III this specially, she is still far behind
her masculine rival. The champion
woman milo swimmer, Miss Theresa
johnson, has record Of as minutes 944
seconds, but the sterner seY's record for
the distance under the same conditions
is 26 minutes SO seconds, held by j. j.
Collier of London. On straightaway
course r. P. Magee has swum q mile in
70 minutes 50 seconds.
Fourteen men have jumped from
Brooklyn bridge into the East river, 1876
feet below, but men have not monopo-
lized the bridge jumping business. Miss
Marie Finney several years ago ,leaped
from London bridge and into newspaper
notoriety atthe same time. Shenow bears
the poetic sobriquet, Heroine Of Lon
don Bridge" Her leap was AZ feet.
+ 4 Miss Charlotte Dodd, the lady cham
pion tennis player Of England, and Miss
Mabel E. CahiIl, the ex-champion Of
America, could without doubt defeat
half the male experts in the world with
out exerting themselves. Miss Dodd is
without. a peer among women tennis
players. She has been playing tennis
since she was years of age and has
been lady champion Of England three
years. She is also a golf player Of great
merit Miss Cahill is an Irish girl and
recent importation. She has been i'll
this country long enough, however, to
win the American championship twice.
She was too i'll at the recent ladies tour,
nament to defend her title, and Miss
Terry of Princeton is now champion.
There are not many women who are
expert billiard players, but Mrs. Nellie
Shaw claims to be champion Of her sex
She practices four hours day with the
cue and is a match for many male ex
perts, but Champion Ives could doubt
less give her large odds and defeat he1
with ease.
There are probably half a dozen WON
en- pugilists in this country, but none o
them is formidable from the male stand
point, and perhaps the less said abou
them the better. The late Hattie Lesli
was the best known woman boxer, bu
happily her handful of successors hav
been so little encouraged that they ar
rarely heard Of. The fighting amazon
may be all right in Dahomey, but ther
is no room for her in America.
The male sex has its Sandows, SaE,
sons, Cyrs and other strong men, bu
close upon their heels are Yucca, Mi
nerva and other women far famed TO
strength. Yucca lifts d 300 pound anvi
with her teeth, easily supports a dunk
bell and three men-total weight 70
pounds-puts up 1870 pound dumbbe'
with one hand and performs numerou
other remarkable feats.

Picturesque in name and lovable in
character, Scott Wike, who recently sue
ceeded Mr.. Spaulding as assistant secre-
tary of the treasury, makes friends easily
and seldom loses them. He is no stran-
ger in the national capital, having been
member Of three congresses, the Forty
third, the Fifty first and the Fifty-sec-
ond. He is almost as popular in Wash
ington as he is in his owl district, and
there it is said even his political enemies
have no fault to find with him except
that he is Democrat.
Mr.. Wike was born at Meadville, Pa,
April 6, 1884, but has lived in Illinois
since he was years old. He is a bach
elor and. is said to have occupied the
same room in hotel in Pittsfeld since

How the Premature Life of Little Joseph

If he ever reaches mans estate and
finds life enjoyable, little Joseph Gre
vert may account himself one Of the
luckiest of the sons of men. Though he
was not expected till September, Joseph
made his advent on earth one hot day in
June. The physician pronounced him
lifeless. After the doctors departure,
however, some of the neighborly women
in the tenement house in East Twenty
sixth street, New York, where Josephs
parents live, discovered faint evidences
of life and bestirred themselves to see
that it did not expire.
