Deserved Compliment to Maine Au-
thoress.
A delightful entertainment recently
given in New York city by Mrs. Kate
Douglas Wiggin and Mr.F. Hopkinson
Smith, and of the Kindergarten Asso-
citation there, is the occasion of glow
ing tribute to Mrs. Wiggin's charm as an
authoress. reader and woman in the
Harper's Bazaar for February 10. likely
to be read with interest in Washington
ny the friends of the kindergarten CO.
lubian Association, for which she is to
read soon, as well as by all her friends
in Maine. In the article in question,
Miss Van Auken, a delighted auditor of
Mrs, Virgins reading, is made TO re-
mark about her to her equally enthu-
siastic neighbor, the Professor:
"She is the prima donna of the literary
comnany. I can't think of better way
TO describe her. You want to send
bouquets to her, to write verses to her,
TO do extravaganza things for her. You
think how nice it would be to have one
| seen her come into the room in one of
| those dainty toilettes of hers? Nothing
extreme about them, no dreadful parade
| of originality, OF classic revival, simply
the dress of lady with the touch of the
| art st And she is SO pretty and SO
! witty! Then to think how she gives
| heart and soul to the poor children of
| the kindergarten. She built up ever
| and ever so many schools in California
and the West, SO Mr.. Carl Schurz, who
| made the Introductory speech told us
| last night, and here she is always work
| ing for. them You could tell that her
| love of them was the deepest one in her
character; you feel that in her stories;
and then the other night you felt ii too.
| After Mr.. Hopkinson had aucti1ned her
manuscript for the benefit of the New
! York Kindergarten Association, she auc-
| toned his. Almost everyone you ever
| heard of was in the audience and in
evening dress. You felt of course that
| it was her night. and that she was
| queen of it, She was so brilliant too
| in her sallies at the auction, and in her
| couplets that she read, yet those who sat
near her could heal. her saying to herself:
sEiehty-five dollars for one manuscript,
| and sixty-five for the other-a hundred
and fifty. That VIII only send SO many
| boys to school for year. No, we must
have more Then she would address
the audience and beg for higher bids
And to the little maiden in the audi
ence. who with regretful sigh gives
vent to her emotion in whispered %,
| I wish T could be like that audible
| only to those close about her, the Pro
lessor, under the ban of Mrs. Wiggin's
enthusiasm, says long afterwards: We
would all like to be heroines, my dear,
and have nights in our lives like that;
! but that which made Mrs. Wiggin one,
was not the white dress, nor the beauty,
nor the applause of brilliant people, but
the having loved little children so well.
She was willing to give all her best gifts
| to helping them.

Their Little Cuds.

Part of the daily duty of one of the girls
in a Park row dairy restaurant consists
in removing from the under side of the
edges of the tables the chewing gum which
has been stuck there by customers. 1t
takes the girl full hour to accomplish
this every morning, and she has to work
hard and. exercise considerable strength, as
the chewing gum hardens and sticks tena-
ciously to the tables. She removes it with
a knife. In any of the cheaper grade Of
restaurants the tables are decorated on
their under sides in the same way. 1t is

PLUCKY WELLMAN,

After Enduring Many Hardsbips, the Ex-
plorer's Party Arrives at Tromsoe-Wm
Try Again to Reach the Pole.
TRoMsoE, Norway, Aug. 1s.-Walter
Wellman and his companions with the
crew of the wrecked steamer Ragnvald-
Jarl have arrived here from Spitz-
bergen, aboard the fishing yacht Ber-
tine. Wellman says the expedition had
almost reached the s1st parallel of
latitude when forced to turn back on
May 10. The weather had suddenly
become intensely severe and northward
from the Seven Isles broken Ice made
progress impossible. The expedition
then traversed the coast of Northeast
land, most of which was explored.
Prof. o. B. French surveyed much Of
the coast, adding to the map Capes
Gresham, Whitney, Armour and Scott
and Walsh Island. Wellman and seven
others started on July with an alum
mum boat to force way northward
over the ice pack. After a severe
struggle they were forced to return.
They started on July to return to
Walden island. In crossing Dove bay
they often had to wade through water
up to their waists. Many other hard
ships were suffered. The aluminium
boat rendered excellent service, resist
ing pressure which certainly would
have destroyed ordinary boats. One Of
the party, Almy, broke his leg and had
to be carried to Walden island, where
they arrived on July %.
After waiting two weeks it was de-
cided, on August 4, to push southwark.
1t was risky work, but all succeeded in
reaching low islands safely. On Au-
gust 6, the Bertine was sighted. They
sailed on August z, calling at Danes
island, for Oyen and Heyerdahl and
provisions. Wellman declares that he
will make another attempt in 1895 to
reach the pole by the Spitzbergen route.
