TAchalkowsky.

The regretted death of M. Tschalkow- sky, which was occasioned by an attack of cholera, deprives music of a master who had attained in his 50 and odd years distinct measure of greatness in his art. He was past 20 years of age before he re- solved to devote himself to musical ca- reer. This was in 1869, when the Con- servatoire of Music was founded at St. Petersburg. From that date practically his career as 8 composer began, although it was only during the last 15 years that his name has been prominently associat- ed with musical composition throughout Europe.
 Despite this widespread reputation, however, he conurived to instill pecul- iarly native inspiration into his music. He had bold conception of melody which in his hands was subjected to luxuriant and massive change, and into which he was fond of, as it were, drop ping Russian native phrases, imparting to it singularly characteristic quality. Perhaps his most ambitious operatic ef- feet was Eugene Onegin," the chief de- feet of which lies in its lamentably weak hbretto.
 Nevertheless it is an opera which is the true storehouse of melody and most me lodious modulation. His music is rarely dull. It is for the most part lit up by kind of merry and keen vitality. Indeed he seldom persuaded himself to be calm, and his art has consequently somewhat restless character. But he was man of great distinction, whose loss it becomes ns to deplors. .-PAll Mall Badgst.

The Advancement of Women.

What shall we do with our girls?" isn't such hard question to answer as 1t used to be, and now I think of it, "What shall we do with our boys?" is growing to be something of a problem. Girls are branching out in manner call culated to strike terror to your heart, when you consider the fact that they are expected to inhabit that realm popularly referred to as sphere" and look up to a man, depending upon him, believing in him, deferring to him, and the problem about the boys is how to make them to match her. The women have been made to match the men for long time-in fact, ever since the Greater invented Mis- tress Eve.
 It really looks as though circumstances were hedging about us that rather com pei us to fashion the boys after better pattern in order to make them a match for the girls. It's rather good sort of a scheme, and it leads up to host of bet ter things, such as we have been led to believe belonged to the millennium.
 The advancement of women has regu- larly been the cause of sowing the seeds of socialism among the entire sex. They are gradually learning to demand more things among others-and to learn that they only obtain by demand ing.-Haryot Holt Cahoon.

A QUEER DIVORCE CASE.


Unusual and Extreme Cruelty Without Re
 course to Personal Violence.
 The counsel in recent divorce case, remarkable even in the annals of the Chi cago courts, sought to defeat the plain tif7s case on slender technicality, but fortunately without avail. The wife, who sought the divorce, was particularly mild and obedient person, and the hus- band had an ingenious method of inflict- ing cruelty without resorting frequently to personal violence. He compelled her after her marriage to send word to her father and to her uncles and aunts, with whom she had lived, that she wished nothing more to do with them. The let ters, which were dictated by him, and which she was compelled to send them, contained insulting and contemptuous expressions.
 At the least sign of failure to obey him promptly the husband directed his wife to stay in bed for periods of from a day to two or three weeks, only allow ing her to rise to prepare his meals or to attend to the horses. When she was sick, he pushed her on one occasion to the floor, and when she cried he told her that she could stay in bed day for ev- cry sob and counted them until the number of Il was reached, and then di- rected her to stay in bed II days and restricted her to 8 diet of bread and water.
 On one occasion he made her stay all night in the buggy shed, though he gave her 8 revolver with which she could alarm him if a burglar disturbed her. He took her young nursing baby away from her and sent it away without allowing her to know where it was until month or two later, when she finally revolted and began the divorce suit. The details of the case were most heartrending, and Chief Judge Tuley, before whom the case was tried, said that the facts showed a case of cruelty to which in over 40 years of experience at the bar and on the bench he had never known the equal. The law in Illinois, however, requires that ''extreme and repeated cruelty" must be shown, and it has been held that to constitute that charge there must be more than one act of physical violence shown. An attempt was made to pre- vent the divorce on the ground that the defendant did not violently lay his hands upon his wife except on one occasion, when he pushed her to the floor.
 Judge Tuley, however, breaks away from the old rules, although he says the tearing away of the child from the arms of the mother might be considered & sec ond act of personal violence. He holds that there may be the most extreme cruelty inflicted on refined and deli cate woman which would not be cruelty toward coarse and brutal nature. The Chicago Legal News protests against the attempt to follow in Illinois the anti quated rule based on the case 100 years old that there must be at least two acts of physical violence.-New York Trlb- une.
