Its latest discussion related to the Dos

Only one of the fair debaters ventus
to declare that the feat could be accG

1t would be rude to draw inferens

THE LORD CHIEF JUSTICE.
1t Is Believed That Sickness Has Com.
pelied His Resignation.

LoNDoN.-Rumors are circulated that
the Right Hon. Lord Coleridge, Lord
Chief Justice of England, has rendered
his resignation to Lord Rosebery. The
rumor also took the form that the emf
nent jurist had intimated to member
of the Cabinet that he had reluctantly
arrived at the conclusion that his long
tenure of service to his country was prac-
tically ended, and that he felt it incum-
bent upon himself to announce that the
possibility OF his resuming position on
the bench was very remote. At the Cole
ridge residence in Belgrave Square no
confirmation or denial of the report
could he obtained. IL was admitted
however, that for nearly month past
the Lord Chief Justice has been confined
to his bed with serious internal disor-
der, and that for the past ten days his
condition has been SO serious that his
medical attendant, DR.. John Cavendish
Hale, has considered it necessary to call
Sir William Broadbent, an eminent spe-
cialist, into daily consultation. 1t was
also stated that, although his condition
is in measure improved, it will be i'm
possible even under the most favorable
circumstances for the Lord Chief Justice
to leave his bed for several weeks. These
developments created sensation, as the
facts of the jurist's illness have been
concealed from the public.

The season is at hand in which the
farmer will put in twelve or fifteen hours
day at work and see that every hand
on the farm does the same, says Colman's
Rural World. He will hardly stop DUR
ing that time long enough to eat his food
properly and take no time to either read
or think. Is this good policy? Is it
either wise, prudent or profitable? The
women in the house will be compelled
to work hours longer than the men out
side. Will that pay? Some OF these
are mothers, and have duties and re-
sponsibilities as such, which, if found in
any kind OF stock, would justify relief
from work. Surely the farmer will not
overwork his wife more than he would
his stock, or himself to point where
thinking is out OF the question and plan
ming impossible. The average farmer,
however, will aim at nothing short OF
getting the work done, no matter how or
what the consequences, so long as it is
done. 1t is foolhardy policy. 1t will
not pay either in money or health. Let
us take time to think, to read, to plan
and to live. There are duties in these
regards that we owe to ourselves, our
wives, our progeny and our success that
are not met with in brute force.

HELEN II. GARDENER. no sex" Never
theless Mrs. Gardener thinks the lines of
modern thought and civilization proceed
entirely upon the assumption that man il
the race, and that woman is merely the
annex to him, and candid observation of
the results she declares, would be exceed
ingly amusing II 1t were not often tragic
and always huniliating. Women are
counted In the population. They are made
use OF to swell totals, round out numbers
and serve as ballast. But man Is always
the race. Woman Is only an annex.
How vigorously Mrs. Gardener condemns
this state Of things may best be seen in her
writings, which, however, are not mere
pleas for suffrage and the emancipation OF
her sex, but broad well considered trea-
tises In favor Of human rights without sex
limitations. She first became known to
the public In 1884 by a remarkable series
Of essays, Of which the first, "Men, Wom-
en- and Gods" has not yet ceased to be
read. Since that date her pen has been
kept busy furnishing contributions to such
periodicals as the Popular Science Month
ly and North American Review, and she
has written several novels with didactic
motives that have obtained wide circula-
tion.
Mrs Gardener is virglnian by birth
and was born In 1853. She has the soft
voice and pretty ways Of the refined south
ern woman, and her tongue Is just tipped
with tho peculiar accent Of her people. She
spends about five months Of the year In
New York, where she does most Of her
writing, and dcyOtes the other seven to
travel and rest at her Virginia home, where
she says she does her thinking and absorbs
strength by dreaming the days away.
1t Is pretty well understood by this timo
that Mrs Gardeners name, Helen II.
Gardener, Is merely a literary psoudonym,
though even In private life no one ever
thinks Of calling her anything else. Nei-
ther Is 1t true, as has been said that 1t was
her maiden name. AS matter of fact,
Mrs. Gardener Is the wife of Colonel
Smart, gentleman known in New York
legal circles, and her maiden name was
Chenowith. Gardener was the maiden
name Of Colonel Smart's mother, and his
wife adopted 1t for literary purposes.

The Operation on His Eyes Proves En-

LoNDoN.-All reports regarding Mr..
Gladstone are most favorable, and there
is no reason to doubt that he will be
among his friends again within month
with his sight almost restored. An OPP
GRAFTON was performed according to prac-
tice which has been in vogue only few
months, and which has proved almost
invariably successful. 1t has been found
better not to destroy completely all sem
sation in the eyeball by means OF cocaine,
as has been the custom for nearly ten
years until recently. Careful observation
shows the process OF healing is more
rapid and there is less danger of inflam-
nation ii the nerves are only partially
deadened with cocaine and the patient
realizes that the operator is manipulate
ing the eyeball and feels the puncture Of
the tiny lancet, but not sufficiently to
suffer any real pain. As matter OF fact
the operation in Mr.. Gladstone's case
was quite painless.

Woods Near Norfolk.
WINsTED, Jan. "a The body of Miss
Minnie Porter was found this afternoon
about 1 O'Clock by Mr.. Charles Granger
in the woods about half mile northwest
of the "Hillhurst" Her watch and other
articles which she had with her when she
left home were found with her, which is
evidence that there WAS no foul play.
Coroner Higgins was called there this
afternoon and left about 8 O'Clock.
Mise Porter left Norfolk Saturday morn
ing, January 8, about 8 O'Clock and 1t was
then supposed that she had merely gone
out for . walk as was her daily custom.
She was about forty years of age and was
Q daughter Of the lses Mr.. Lucius P. Por-
ter, native of Norfolk, and who left that
town first for New York city and was after
ward resident of New Brunswick, n. j.,
where he was established in business a.
president of the Norfolk and New Bruns-
wick Hosiery company.
Miss Porter has not been right In her
mind for about thirteen years, and during
that time has lived with and was cared for
by her relatives.
