Subsequently, and probably ia conse.

Legislature amending the act above

The question that now presents itself,
therefore, is-how and BY whom shall
the doubt be determinedI
It IS well understood that IL is Of
great Importance to the safety Of the

being clear that q construction o.

CHARACTER in UNCLE TOM.
Their Originals Found on the Border OF
Kentucky.

Before the war Mrs Harriet Beecher
Stowe was resident of Walnut Hills, a
suburb of Cincinnati, and her husband,
Prof. Calvin Stowe, was connected with
Lane Theologlca Seminary. Cincinnati,
in slavery days. was an important station
on the Underground railroad" The
Ohio River was easily crossed at this point
and numerous runaways made their way
from over Kentucky and were met in Gin,
cpnati by friends, who assisted them in
various ways to make their escape. Among
those more OF less active in this movement
were the Beechers, Mrs Stowe being a
daughter of Lyman Beecher, President OF
the seminary. There she first imbibed
her hatred for slavery, and began work on
newspaper story depicting life among the
lowly, that was afterward enlarged to
''Uncle Toms Cabin"
The Eliza" house that gave refuge to
the escaped slave girl who afterward
figured in the story as Eliza" stand.
upon the hill near the village of Glendale;
the evan Tromp' of the narrative being
John Van Zandt, member Of the Society
of Friends who settled upon the farm and
made it an underground station. The
Eliza" was Eliza Harris, Kentucky
slave, owned by a man near Ripley, O.,
but on the slavery side of the river She
ran away from her master with her child
as told in the story, crossing the river on
the ice, and was afterwards sheltered in the
house of the Rev John Rankin, whose
family still lives in Ripley
Another young girl, who gave much to
the construction OF the character of Eliza
was seamstress in the employ Of Mrs
Stowe. She came from Kentucky with
the consent of her mistress her brother be-
ing held as hostage for her return. The
occurrence was not infrequent, as the Ken
tuckians were very lenient with their
slaves, aud often INDUCED them in trips
across the Ohio to free soil. The girl was
legally free by her presence in Ohio by
CobSCht vi hCi lhlSoiCSS toHOIblf dIGeT ner
arrival her brother escaped, and she re-
solved not to return. In this she was en-
couraged by her friends, and also by Mrs.
Stowe, in whose family she had found en-
ployment. Gree papers were obtained
for her to make her condition doubly legal.
There were many people in Cincinnati,
however, who were ready to serve the
stakeholder by kidnapping fugitives, and
when Prof. Stowe learned that the former
master Of Eliza was in the city, and
friend told him that there was a plan to
take the girl at night, it was determined to
put her in place OF safety. Accordingly,
Prof. Stowe performed the part Of Senator
Bird. Procuring a horse and wagon, &C.
companied by Henry Ward Beecher, he
drove the girl ten miles along lonely road
and over dangerously flooded ford, to the
house OF John Van Zandt,. The fireplace
is still shown where Eliza is said to have
been confined during one of the visits Of

Another character in the story is Richard
Eillingham, young Quaker from Morrow,
o., who came to Cincinnati to teach negroes
and whose enthusiasm led him to Nash
vile in behalf of slave, where he was
arrested and imprisoned, and died before
his release. So far as known. only one of
the originals of the characters Of this story
is now living. This is George Lewis Clark,
whose adventures are recorded in this story

Rankin, was Harris guide. lie is living
at Ripley, and tells with relish the Incl

A WOMAN'S CHOICE OF PRO-
FESSION.

1t is hard, very hard under any circum-
stances, for woman to choose profession
in life, for the good reason that she has to
decide between two bundles of hay. one
on either side of her. If she elects to give
up her inherited profession of domesticitv
for another of choice, it would seem that
she should be more than sure of her pecu
liar fitness for public life And vet as
the only possible school for such equipment
has in public work, there is ample reason
for perplexity.
If we fail we fail, is not motto for
women. Though written for woman's
lips, they are manly words While man
hood takes failure with comparative stol
dity, and dries again on another tack,
womanhood is crushed and cumiiated.
Therefor it is best she should choose her
world work wisely.
In the selection of a profession there are
OF course many questions of fitness for a
won an to consider, but there is one uni
'piofi 'eSI NhiSi a IIiieS t'IudllN u all the
professions she can enter into, though it
seems to be considered least of all in the
weighing of pros and cons. The first uues-
ton woman should ask herself when she
thinks of leaving her four walls in body or
on paper or canvas is this, Gam | fitted for
struggle?
II her answer be only weakness, let her
stay where she is so long as those walls can
possibly continue to shelter her. For nc
matter how deep her calling for public OF
semi. public life, the work she thinks of do.
ing is, after all the worlds work, and she
must take the worlds bullets in its accom-
plishment.
Repeatedly gifted women who have
seemed divinely called to one or another
possession have failed, and failed utterly
and lamentably, simply because they could
not grasp the cold fact that the distinct
profession was not all they had to learn.
Lack OF power to meet the world-to
struggles at the root of more failures
than is uniitness for the specific work I'M
dertaken. How to prepare bandage is
one thing; the applying it quite another
but equally necessary part of nurse 5

The most recent instance, conquered the
Audicks gas syndicate in Brooklyn by a
cut of, first, from $l.20 TO 81 and then to 80
cents. During the recent gas controversy
In Kansas City Colonel Payne said Of
iiciaily that his company could make only
2 per cent on gas al 81. This would be a
profit of $4,000 annually, on the present
output. The income at 81 would Toe sl75,-

Colonel Payne stated that the gas cost
