Two clergymen's Opinions.

Precedent and principle now unite
in support of municipal suffrage for
women" recently wrote Rev. Joseph
Cook. In an article in London maya
zine on the Women's Trades Union
league, the Rev. Stopford A Brooke,
M. A., says: Women must win their
right to sit in all municipal councils
and in the county council, from which
it is disgrace-nay, more, a stupid folly
that they are excluded. Moreover,
and indeed for this cause, and for the
advantage of the whole state as well as
for that of civilization, women should
have the suffrage.

Wore Lace 800 Years Old.

1t is not often that woman is able
to array herself in fabric which 300
years ago was the property of a queen
of England. The Countess of Pembroke
had this privilege at the recent drawing
room, when her white and silver gown
and light peach velvet train were trim
med with old point de Flandre which
had once been worn by Queen Elizabeth.
1t was in admirable preservation and
consisted of deep f1ounces partly of floral
designs and also displaying a terrace

The duchess of Edinburgh.

There is not much beauty of feature
in the face of the Duchess OF Saxe-Co-
burg Gotha Duchess of Edinburgh, but
there is much intelligence and strength
of character in her expression. This
Russian lady has been an admirable
wife and the most careful of mothers.
She has devoted herself to her young
daughters more completely than most
mothers who are not of imperial birth.
She has been with the little girls at
their studies and their amusements
alike. She has drilled them in drawing,
played the piano accompaniment to
their violin performances, supervised
infinitely their reading and examined
them in their studies at regular inter
walls. She has carefully trained their in
tellects, not permitting them to neglect
the graver studies for the more frivolous
ones. 1t is thought that the third sister,
Princess Alexandra, will enter the ranks
of matrons next year, and that will leave
the duchess with only one daughter at
home. This is Beatrice, pretty little
maid of 10 years. New York Tribune

THE AGILE TIGER.
He Is "shod with silence" and Is as Quick
as lightning.

Most wild animals are speclallsts-that
Is to say, they are highly developed in ono
particular direction The tiger Is great
as a stalker His feet seem to be "shod
with silence" Mr., r. II. Elliot, for many
years n resident of India, cites an expert
ence of one of his neighbors illustrative Of
this point
He had been much annoyed by tigers
and at last tied bullock out I'm o clear-
ing and took up his own position in a
tree to wait till the tiger should come after
the bait The ground was covered with
dried leaves, which in hot weather are so
brittle that even the walking Of a bird over
them can be heard for good distance.
In no very long timo q large tiger slip
ped out Of the forest and slowly edged to.
ward the bullock His method was so
elaborate and careful that the man who
saw It used to declare that it would have
been worth 1000 rupees to any young
sportsman TO have witnessed it.
So carefully did he put down each paw
and so gradually did he crush the leaves
under 1t that not a sound was to be heard,
Between him and the bullock was stump
about four feet high with long project
ing surface roots. This, plainly, the tiger
looked upon as a godsend.
He got upon one of the roots, balanced
himself carefully and so was able to walk
| quickly and silently as far as the stump,
He approached so gradually and noiseless-
ly and his color against the brown leaves
was so invisible that he was close upon
the bullock before he was perceived.
Then instantly the bullock charged.
! The tiger eluded him and in a moment
more had his paws on the bullocBs neck
ready to drag him down. Then, like a
flash he caught sight Of the rope by which
the bullock was tied and turned and sprang
into the forest all so quickly that the man
in the tree had no opportunity to fire.

Difficulties That Beset the Expedition,

DtWcultiea Ihat beset the Expedition,
eliminating in the Loss Of the Ragn-
valid Jarl aud the Safe Retreat.
QUARANTINE, N Y, Sept. 27-The
steamer Spree, which arrived at Quaran-
tine last night, had on board the follow.
ing gentlemen belonging to the Arctic ex
petition: Professor Walter Wellman,
Professor @. B. French of the coast and
geodetic survey, of Washington, who was
astronomical observer of the party; Dr.
Thomas b. Mohun, medical officer, and
Charles G. Dodge, artist and photogra-
pher, all of whom belonged in Washing
ton.
They left here last March, bound for the
north pole via Norway, and have been
gone a little over six months. Mr.. Well
man, who was in charge, gives the follow
ing account of the expedition:
"On the first of May we left the town
of Thomso, in Norway, on the steamer
Ragnvald Jarl, with twenty-five persons
all told, sixteen of whom belonged tothe
expedition and nine to the crew We
reached Spitzbergen on the 9TH day of May,
lat. 70. 45, depositing a large quantity of
provisions, leaving il in charge of Professor
Oven, Norwegian geologist who was to
study the glaciers May 10, finding open
water on the north coast of Spitzbergen,
the steamer was headed for the Southern
Island, $50 miles to the northeast
after several battles with the ice we
reached Table Island on the 18th of May,
and were then in lat. $3.50, or within $50
miles of the north pole, within fourteen
miles as far as had been reached by the
Lockwood o. Brainard expeditions. Thus
far we had covered as much ground as
other expeditions had in months, or even
years.
"Storms now set in on the 18th, and
vast quantities of broken ice went drift
ing past. On the nth the steamer was
forced to the north little past the s1st
parallel and was then driven back by the
floating ice, through which no steamer
could have forced her way.
Finding what appeared to be a perfectly
safe anchorage on the shore of Walden
Island, the expedition of fourteen men
left the ship on the oath of May. Our
course was to the eastward, skirting the
northern shore of Northeast Land. -Four
days later we received word by messenger
that the ship had been crushed by the
ice Fortunately most of the stores were
saved.
Notwithstanding this loss Of the ship,
which cut off outline Of retreat, we de-
cided to go on. After exploring most OF
the coast of the Northeast Land we found
the ice thrown up in hopeless confusion
in every direction. We made an effort
with one boat and picked crew of eight
men to advance to the north, but so rough
was the ice that after four days of indie.
scribabe effort we found that we had ad.
vanced less than four miles. The same
conditions of ice existed as far as the eye
could see.
Further progress being impossible, we
made our way back through many dan
gers and difficulties"
