shudder they would all put for their
respective quarters, where they would
cover over handful of embers and in
cold-storage accents give utterance to
their several and private opinions OF
American weather. 1t is really won
der that there have not been a great
many deaths among the thinly-clad
people of the Plaisance, so inhospitable
and severe has been the spring season
Some of the people have been compelled
to return to their native lands on &C
count of illness and Inconsistencies
brought on by bad weather.
As the season advances the grounds
take on fresh beauties in the region of
the horticultural building, and the
wooded island in the center of the
lagoon offers increased attractions.
This island is perfect beauty spot and
is much sought by couples who prefer
quiet stroll apart from the thickly
peopled walks of the grounds. 1t is
about fifteen acres in extent and is the
only vestige of natural ground remain
ing in the park. The lagoon separates
it from the main land, from which it is
approached by several beautiful
bridges, all surmounted by fine pieces
of statuary taken from the wild life of
the forest The island is to present
some fine work in the shape of land

lands will soon be blooming in its beds
The browning glory of the place is to
be rose garden, where fifty thousand
plants of over two Thousand varieties
will stand in graceful grouping. On
this island are the japanese temple, the
New South Wales brush hut and the
Roosevelt log cabin.
Another favorite resort of visitors is
the lake shore. The splendid prone
made is a restful change from the some

Here one may stroll at leisure beside
the blue waters of the lake and quaff
the refreshing breezes, or, if not averse
to sitting on the stone embankment,
take squat and view the lake craft as

to be favorite position with some, and

THE NEW woRLD's QUEEN.

Swift 10 the queen St Angel came,
Resolute, fearless, his heart afiame;
Swift TO the queen by GRANADA s gate,
Lest tidings should fall too late, too late:

And renown and splendor that might be yours

And gain 10 the church Of realms unknown

For over the vast mysterious seas,
Glory will sail with the Genoesei"
Coifed and kerchiefed with Flanders lace,
Isabel sat in her royal place:
Her robe OF velvet, with broidered hens;
On her bosom cross whose priceless gems
Flashed from the FURNISHED bars to tell
OF the holy faith she loved SO well;
Sat, and listened. and thought of him
Who had waited and prayed till hope grew dim
And new light beamed from her eyes OF blue,
And the world spread wide TO her spirits view.

From the suppliant fleeing to France that day.

But her jewels, her jewels at least remained
And, rising, regally calm and fair,
Ready the boldest quest TO dare:
"For my crown Of CASTLE will undertake
The enterprise, and my jewels stake
To pay the cost of the voyagei'' she said.
With blessing St Angel bowed his head,
And a courier spurred from the queen 10 stay

THE Americans, especially those who
live in the large cities. are developing
probably the finest type of womanhood
| that has existed, at least since the days
of the Greeks. This development has
been rather slow, so gradual that those
who live here have hardly perceived it,
but it is recognized by the ADLER physi-
clans, and it is certainly recognized by
cultivated foreigners who have visited
this country in recent years--Dr. Ed
ward Quintard, in the Philadelphia
Press
| IN the great momentum of the woman
movement, which gains new recruits
every day, one is inclined to overlook
the fact that woman was a power moral
ly, socially, and intellectually in the
fifteenth century as well as in the nine
teenth; that the doors of universities
were open to her not only to study but
to teach within their sacred precincts.
In the university of Salamanca she had
place, and when Isabella of Spain de-
sired to acquire the Latin tongue it
was to woman she turned for a tutor.
In Italy, even in the thirteen century,
noble Florentine lady won the palm
of oratory in a public contest in Flor
ence with learned doctors from all over
the world.

pier will afford cool retreat from the
glare of the white buildings. Here the
boats unload their passengers, and this
also will furnish a very taking subject
for contemplation. On this pier, which
extends about block out into the
lake, just south of the grand entrance
to the lagoon, there is movable side
walk which taxes people its entire
length. This in itself is unique fea-
ture, and one that will command alarge
patronage.
Aside from the points named there
are a number. of other choice spots
which will be much frequented by those
who tire easily of the exhibits in the
great buildings of the fair.

SANITARY MEASURES.
Work of Miss Abraham. the First Woman
Factory Inspector In England.


Factory Inspector i'm England.
A good illustration of the conscien-
tiousness with which women serve in
public capacities is shown in the faith
full work of Miss May Abraham. the
first woman factory inspector in Eng
land. Miss Abraham began with pri-
vate secretaryship to Lady Dixie,
where she obtained an insight into
those subjects of practical economics
now so much studied. From this she
went to the post of honorary treasurer
of the Womans Trades Union league,
where, constituting her treasurer's du-
ties other than as receiving checks and
drawing up balances, she visited all
the industries where women workers
were combining, however feeble, to
protect their interests. Imbued with
the sense of the need of legislation she
went at the head of Populations to the
head secretary; she organized and ad-
dressed great demonstration in Hyde
park, and worked constantly to for
ward the cause. Since assuming her
present work Miss Abraham has set
herself to investigate some of the most
dangerous trades, unmindful of the
risk to herself. She visited the indus
tries where lead is employed, and OBJ
tanned convincing proof of their I'M
sanitary character by getting a touch
of lead poisoning herself. She tested
the complaint of the poor women that
have to inhale particles of rags in the
textile trade by suffering herself from
''shoddy fever" certainly a conclusive
and conscientious if somewhat trying
method of obtaining evidence.-N. Y.

Frenchwomeu as Administrators.

The auditor at the Conseil d'Etat in
Paris, NJ. Fleury-Savarin, has lately
pronounced himself to be decidedly in
favor of the posts of administrators of
the different ''Bureaux de bienfais-
ance" being occupied by women. Thus,
if NJ. Savarin' conclusions are adopted,
French women will be at last admitted
into the management of what ought to
have long been their especial province
the administration of those public
moneys which are devoted to the relief
of the poor.

anything but the exhibits, and it was
given out as the intention of the direc-
tory to open the grounds to visitors on
Sunday and charge only twenty-five
cents admission.
This action on the part of the direc-
tory, or the intelligence that such ac-
ton was contemplated, greatly annoyed
the church people of the whole eoun-
try, and steps were taken to prevent
the opening if possible. 1t has been
reported that pressure was brought to
bear on the national commissioners in
order to defeat the intentions of the di-
rectory. How true this is cannot be
stated, but this much is certain, the
commissioners have done nothing up to
the present writing to thwart the
wishes of the directory. The latest
move on the part of the board was to
amend the rules, which precluded Sun
day opening, to read as follows:

Population Of the Fa,r.

1t seems that the term city" as it
has been applied to the worlds fair,
with various descriptive adjectives, is
not SO parely imaginative as would ap-
pear. In the daytime with throng of
twenty thousand sightseers in its gates
it is city, of course. But the fair has
a permanent as well as a transient
population. The census of this munich
pality varies, but a worlds fair man
who has been figuring up a little says
that the permanent population alone is
about fifteen Thousand by day and five
thousand at night. Il includes exhib-
itors and their assistants, Columbian
guards, and worlSmen of various sorts,
including janitors and others whose
business it is to clean up the litter left
by the crowds, after the closing Of the
gates.

That the fair as an exhibition is
bound to be success is admitted even
by its greatest enemies. Men and news

years and predicted great and humili-

THE DIR. GROWN MURDER.

New Evidence Introduced -Counsel
 for the Defense Does Not Deny the
 Doctors Death as Was Done at the
 First Trial.
 CHICAGO, Dec. 11.-In the Coughlin trial to-day Francisco Villier, who was captain of police in Lakeview at the time of the Cronin murder, testified that he had known Dr. Cronin for three or four years. When the patrol wagon bearing the doc tors corpse arrived at the morgue some person in removing blanket from the body brushed of the moustache and part of the hair.
 This new evidence explains why the body looked unlike that of the murdered doctor The captain had no difficulty in recogniz- ing the body. He discovered sixteen wounds on the head. Other witnesses testified as to the discovery and identity of the body.
 Attorney Wing announced on behalf of Coughlin that there would be no contro- versy about the doctors death or the iden- tfcation of the body taken from the catch basin as his. At the first trial the defense would not even admit that the doctor was dead. The blood stained trunk which had contained Dr. Cronin's body was exhibited as we'll as other relics of the crime. The court adiourned.

VALIANT GETS COUNSEL.

The Bomb Thrower of Paris Has
 Chosen I'M. Cremieu as His Advo-
 cate-Police Are After His Accom-
 pIices.
 PARIS, Dec. 11.-In the senate this after noon President Challemel Lscour made & speech, during the course of which he said that the senate shared the indignation which the whole of France felt at the out rage of Saturday. He added that he felt confident in the energy of the government, which must proceed to "extirpate this abominable sect which is waging war aSainst society,"" The sentiment was greeted with loud and prolonged cheering.
 The chamber of dspaties and some of the galleries were thronged this afternoon, though the gallery from which Valiant threw the bomb and the one adjoining 1t were closed. President Dupuy on opening the session praised the chamber officials for their cool and firm attitude at the time of the explosion.
 During the day Valiant was transferred from the Hotel Dieu to the Infrmary of the Prison de Ia Sante. A large crowd had ss- sembled outside the Hotel Dieu in antici- patton of his removal, and when he was brought out the crowd shouted: "Death to the snaIchisz; hang him to 8 lamp-post!" The police pushed back the crowd and Valiant was taken to the prison in safety, but the cries of the crowd showed that the populsce is far from being in sympathy or with snarchistic methods.
 Marchal, the husband of the woman with whom Valiant was living in the suburb of Choisy-le.Roi, in an interview to-day said that Valiant returned from America in January last and became a boarder in the Marchal household. Event ually the anarchist succeeded in inducing her to sell and pledge the furniture belong ing to her husband, and after getting her to leave her husband made her work from morning till night in order to supply his wants. and abused her in a terrible man ner when she was unable ts supply him with money.
 Valiant has chosen N. Albert Cremieu as his advocate. His trial will take place during the first fortnight in January. Three other men who have been arrested are kept in cells. Tae police are seeking for two men named Raynal and Confeix, alias Gouffe, friends of Valiant, who worked in the same place Valiant did.

THE DANBvRx SITUATION.
A Compromise Not Probable - Tn
 Manufacturer Firm.

A Compromise Not Probable The
 Manufacturers Firm.
 DANBuRY, Dec. 11.-It is not likely that the merchants will accomplish anything In the way of affecting compromise between the hat manufacturers and their discharged men. A prominent manufacturer in an interview to day said that If the merchant waited on them they would be told to mind their own business. They further said that there was no chance whatever for ar bitrstion; that they had fully made up their minds to reopen their factories only as independent shops, and If they could not accomplish their purpose in any other way they would hire help from New Jersey or Fall R yer. He asserted in New Jersey who would respond to his call as soon as he sent for them, and other manufacturers had received similar offers. He said the manufaoturers' association was simply waiting for men and women to | come to their senses; that they ought to know and many of them do know the con- | dition of trade; that they will pay as fair Il wages as the state of trade warrants and none of them expect to grind the help down | or act unjustly toward them.
 This manufacturer said they did not | want to import labor as Danbury help was | good enough, but they should If 1t was necessary. There is a general feeling that the next two or three days will develop something in the way of e settlement, but 1t is difficult to find any grounds for such | feeling. Thursday has been set down ss the day this settlement is to be reached in the minds of the public.
 The determined way in which the mAnu- lecturers talk and the equally determined | manner in which the locked-out men act make 1t seem hardly probable that matters will be adjusted. The men say they have had the promise of SIG. 900 to aid them in their fight and they could increase this amount ten fold In a week. Manufacturer 20 to New York daily, ostensibly to get their orders filled in some of the other dis tricts- They are receiving orders all the time, but are not accommodating in their factories here.

Doubtless there have been z number of applications for work entered
 All of these were through the mall, but Il Is claimed by the men that in no case have they been made by hstters- The personi
