CHICAGO. Feb. 3.-The women of tho
Political Equality league were treated
by the Rev. Jenkin Lloyd Jones this
afternoon to an unexpected and bewil-
daring criticism. Jones, in apeaking
upon parties in Politics. had been de-
nouncing the strong partisanship that
was manifested every W here in politics.
and characterized this spirit as the rnost
insurmountable difficulty in the situa-
tion.
The government of cities, the speaker
declared, should at ali hazards ne di-
vorced from national politics and ma
inequalities Of America. "Until we reach
the stage where national politics cease
to enter the government OF our cities"
he said, I'VE can never be lifted out OF
the slough of corruption whore, from a
political standpoint, we are laboring to-
day. The influence of par tisanship has
been most dsastrously felt by our state
universities, which have been inoslcu-
lably damaged by it.
II am free to say in this connection
that l was disappointed in the part
women took at the last election. In fact
they launched so deeply into partisan
ship that they injured their case and
put back the prospects of universal saf'
rage" The speaker thought IL was only
complcsting matters to admit womsn to
the freedom OF tn. ballot if they were to
bssin at once to bargain Ola party lines
for every public position they sought to
attain.
During the delivery OF the address
number of women left the hall, and q
majority OF those who remained were
apparently so stunned by what he said
that they were unable to reply.

in persuading many of her fair sisters
to don similar garb.

ing made necessary by the cellar out
pour through register fues.
A clever woman thus harassed has
evolved plan which she finds of value
and which is certainly worth passing
on. To exactly fit the registers in all
the upper floors she has made a series
of light wood frame u iares. Over them
she tacks two thick nesses of ordinary
swiss muslin, between which is laid
the most delicate yelling of cotton bat
ting. These fasten on by little brass
clips at the four corners of the register,
and the result, she finds, is not to check
appreciably the volume of hot air that
pours freely through, but on muslin
and batting is left SO heavy deposit
of black coal dust that at regular inter-
walls of 48 hours fresh screens have to
be substituted. Every register has a
double set, for the muslin needs to be
washed and replaced again for use,
wkiIe the blackened batting is merely
tossed into the ash barrel.

Speaking of her early visits to New

who administered the first oath of Office
to George Washington. He was man
of fine presence, dignified and courteous.
He was, / believe, one of the signers of

The Late Susan Fenimore Cooper.

The sudden death Of Susan Fenimore
Cooper, second daughter of James Feni-
more Cooper. the famous author, takes
away one of the most prominent women
in our country. The 50 years of her
life were uninterruptedly busy. In her
youth she was the secretary and often
the amanuensis of her father. In her
maturity she contributed to the press
and wrote several books, which had a
wide circulation. In 1873 she started
an orphanage in Cooperstown, which
grew in a few years to be a large and
successful institution. In 1886 she es-
tablished the Friendly society, a benev
client organization whose purpose is the
succor and adoption of orphan children.
She took an active interest in all the
questions of her time and was more or
less identified with the many liberal
and progressive movements which
sprang into being in the present centu-
~. Her nearest relatives in this city
are two nephews, one of whom, Walter
Cooper, has attained some distinction
as writer Of clever verse.-New York
Mail and Express.

the act of 1882, is s'capable of acquir
ing, holding and disposing of any real
or personal property as her separate
property as if she were a femme SOLE
"a single woman.
The point that has just come up is
whether, in these modern circumstances.
jewelry given by a husband to mis-
wife is absolutely hers, SO that she may
sell it or take it away with her if she
leaves her husband. The learned judges
view seems eminently just and reason
able. He rules that in any case of dis
pute on the point the first thing to de-
eide is whether the ornaments were at
tached to the lady's position as her
husbands wife 'paraphernalia' in le-
gal parlance) or were intended as per-
sonal gifts. In the former case she has
only the use of them; in the latter she
has the absolute property.
In any given case the judge must de-
eide under which head particular arti-
cles should fairly come, but Sir T.
Jeune goes so far as to lay down one
rule-that ornaments given as peace
offerings or to seal reconciliation aft
or a quarrel are not Eparaphernalia, -
but true gifts. This is a nice idea.
The ancient Romans had supersti-
tions about the meaning and influence
of all gems, and of diamonds they said
that gift of these beautiful stones had
the quality of healing dissension be-
tween friends, which always strikes me
as a superstition with a good, broad
basis of sound, common sense. But if,
after you were induced to kiss and be
friends by the dazzling influence and
the mystic power residing in a diamond
brooch, the giver could reclaim the
miracle working precious stones, it
would hardly be fair trade.
On the other hand, no wife ought to
be able to dispose of her own interest in
family jewels. She is no more than a
tenant for life.-Mrs. Fenwick- Miller
in London Graphic.

Women on a Colorado Jury.

Two women sat on a jury in a Justice
court in Cripple Creek the other day.

trial was that of a landlady who was
charged with stealing a ring valued at
$12 from one of her boarders and sond-

you want an elbow sleeve, have it a

The latter style for full dress has
come in with the great favor shown to

are worn by slender figures. Braces or
bretelles of ribbon tied in bows on the
shoulders are worn by young ladies'
Lace points drop plainly over sleeve

dress fronts in jet beads and spangles
are very handsome on silk gowns.

Use.
How it happened is unknown to the
writer, but in some way one of those
emblems of vanity and barbarism that
the ladies long ago discarded-a COM
mon wire hustle of prodigious size
found its way into a large barrel of
clothing sent to missionary for dis
tribution among some of the poorest and
most ignorant negroes of the south.
An elderly negro named Nose jack
son happened to be present when the
barrel was opened.
He had nearly t'baker's DOZEN of
half naked children, and some of the
clothing was given him for them. The
hustle aroused a little Indignation in
the missionary, and she threw ''the
thing" aside, when Uncle Nose picked
it up and asked if he could have it.
sob, yes, said the missionary, ''take
it along with you. Perhaps you can
make some use of the wires in it,
The next Sunday Mrs. Nose, jackson
appeared at the little mission church in
a bonnet that was the envy and despair
of all the sisters present and a matter
of no little surprise and dismay to the
missionary. After church the mission
airy made it convenient to take Mrs.
Nose jackson and say to her:
''See here, Mrs. Jackson. where did
you get that dreadful bonnet?''

rights of married woman in regard to
jewelry given her by her husband. We
all know that till 1870-and in large
measure till 1SS2-a married woman

husbands; all she earned or inherited
or received by gift was his to deal with
as he chose. But now that is altered,
