Mrs. MOshcr's Paper.
The first paper of the evening was de-
livered by Frances Stuart Mosher of Mich
igan, the wife of the president of Hillsdale
College. She holds the chair of French and
history in that institution and she was one
of the committee of three to organize the
National Free Baptist Woman's Mission
airy Society in 1878, in which organization
she has held Office ever since
The subject of her paper was 1.-The Eth
cal Adjustment Of Woman's Home and So
Geological Duties" She devoted consider
able attention to the subject of how best
women can adjust their duties to home and
to the world. She did not try to solve the
problem presented, but sought to bring be-
fore her hearers one of the most important
sociological questions of the day. AS life
mas become more complicated she said,
with the introduction of all the inventions
and improvements of modern times the
changed conditions have tended TO simplify
mans relations and make his duties more
distinct if more special. But it has not
done like service for woman. Her need
today is for lessening of the arduous
and manifold duties which pertain to her
position. There is need for more sim
plicity in the appointments and surround
ings Of the home, but at the same time
with proper judgment and management

speaker was Mr.. j. P. Fox, one of the
best known professional swimmers in
st. Louis, now at Prof. Clark Natatori-
UNI, 10Th and Pine. Prof. Fox's occupa-
ton necessitated his being in the water
several hours every day. He contracted
q severe cold, which he neglected, then
another and another and finally he
broke down, the effect of these colds
seemed to debilitate and finally disease
his stomach, and he had such symp-
toms as-stinging pains in his head, an
Inflammation of the membranes OF the
throat and air passages, which filled
with Shiny substance, his appetite
failed him, he became gaunt and thin
and excessively nervous-all of which
denoted Catarrh of the. stomach. An
attack of vertigo one day rendered him
unconscious for half an hour after which
he was confined to the house and scarcely
able to walk across the room. He was
sleepless, had violent pains and lndi-
gestion of the worst kind. Mr.. Fox said
to our reporter:
"Often would be seized with feel
| ing of suffocation. This went on until
one day friend insisted that l try DR..

and he read to me paper wherein sew
eral cures of cases similar to mine were
reported. l determined to give them a
trial. Ny mother threw the doctor's
medicine away, and actually before l

first box began to feel a marked inn
provement. / began to sleep we'll, with
my returning appetite l began to take a
better view OF lite, the gnawing sensa-
tions in my stomach disappeared, l
ceased to belch up gas and had no feel
ings of vomiting after eating, the sore
ness in my throat went away, and, well,
within a month | ventured out of the
house. / kept on with the pills, and
well you see me now. / feel as well as

A Bit of Realistic Acting.

Henry Irvings story of Charlotte Cush-
man gives you better idea of the methods
and style of this great artist than a dozen
impersonal and we'll padded essays would.
She was acting Meg Merrilies. In one
scene in answer to her appeal for money,
he, personating an important character in
the piece, hands her his purse filled with
the broken crockery which is generally used
for stage gold. One day Miss Cushman
suggested gently to him the superior reaii-
ism of opening the purse, selecting a coin
and giving it to her. No matter how mag
nificent it might look it was hardly nat
ural for gentleman to hand over purse
full of money to crazy beggar.-San Fran

"What was it? Well, the other day l

dumfounded over her pathetic and pro-
fuse sympathy. When | recovered my

by assuring her that my wife was in the
land of the living, well and hearty. The
lady was astonished to learn that Mrs.
-, an intimate friend of my wife. who
had told her, could have been so mis-
taken. In less than an hour after cor
recting this error | met another mutual
friend, and she had also been told by
Mrs. - that my wife had gone to that
undiscovered country.

An Eager and a Nipping Wind,
A continuous down pour of rain, inclem-
ent weather, generally in winter and
spring, are unfavorable to all classes of in
vaiids. But warmth and activity infused
into the circulation counteracts these in
fuences and interpose defense against
them. Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, most
thorough and effective of stomachics and
tonics, not only enriches the blood, but
accelerates its circulation. For a chill, OF
premonitory symptoms of rheumatism
and kidney complaint, particularly preva-
lent at these seasons, it is the best possible
remedy. 1t is also invaluable for dyspep
sia liver complaint, constipation and ner
vousness. Never set out on winter OF

sons and the delicate and convalescent are
greatly aided by it.

Phy- sicians were summoned but by the time that they had arrived Mathers was dead. He was forty years of age, and member of several local societies.
