Frau Gnauclx ON Modern Women.

Frau Elizabeth Gnauck of Berlin has
been addressing the Evangelical Social
congress Of Germany. This does not
seem an announcement to startle any
one, especially here in America, where
congresses of every sort are addressed
by women every day, but in Germany
this is a new departure, for, by Prus
sian law, it is forbidden to hold clubs
or to meet for the purpose of public
speaking Frau Gnauck is therefore the
first woman to address the congress. Her
paper divided all womankind into two
classes-the labOring, which suffer from
too much work, and the idle, which suf-
fer from too much leisure.
In her opinion the old time, before
the introduction Of machinery had given
to the we'll to do too much leisure and
the poor too much work, when the
housewife was busy from morning till
night with never ending round of
household duties, was the golden age of
women. This view was naturally at
tractive to the conservative audience she
addressed, and they paid her the COM
pliment Of long and loud applause All
her suggestions were of an eminentiy
practical order. She advocated the APP
pointing of women factory inspectors,
school commissioners and the like.

Tho Hotel HOusekeeper.

Whoever has happened in at his hotel
at O'Clock in the morning has been
sure to notice that the Hobbies are in
possession of the scrubwomen, with
their pals and mops, their scrubbing
brushes and their surrounding pools of
slop. He may have seen a neat and lady
like woman, dressed as well as any
guest standing on the marble stairs, as
if to command the scene, or fitting out
of sight. That is the housekeeper-a
parsonage of great Importance in a big
hotel, and one whom the women board
ers make it point to get acquainted
with, but whom the men in the rooms
do not know or meet or very often see.
There was panic in one of the sea-
side hotels last summer over an alarm
of fire. Then the guests saw the house
keeper in all her might, and must have
marveled at it. AT the first scream the
negro walters rushed for their baggage
and began throwing it out of their win
dows and down the servants stairs. The
chambermaids were all either paralyzed
with fear or noisy with alarm. Some
ran about terrifying the guests with
warnings and some stood still and
shrieked.
Then the housekeeper appeared. She
was calm. She ordered the negroes to
bring their trunks back, she instantly
discharged the girls whom she caught
spreading the panic, and the worst
screamer of the lot she sent to her bed
room with a threat of arrest if she made
another sound. In two minutes the
panic ceased for she assured all the
guests that the danger was past and the
fire was out. She was heroine as long
as those people staid who had wit
messed her command of the situation.
To her friends she said afterward that
when she got things quieted down she
went to the scene of the fire to learn the
truth about it, for when she said it was
out she knew no more about it than
child unborn ''All I knew was" she
said, "that there was nothing to be
gained by panic. ="
The housekeeper is in charge of the
entire living part of hotel and of the
female help, and when she is a good dis
ciplinarian and has a cool head on her
shoulders she is worth the good salary
that she is sure to receive. New York

of the amusing signs OF the times that
the British matron, after having fer
wears utterly disapproved of and loudly
condemned everything connected with
our Young countrywomen, is now en-
deayoring to find out the secret of her
attractions. and to teach her .slittle
ways'' TO her own somewhat stolid
brood. To tell the truth, she is fairly
frightened at the influx Of Americans
into the peerage and the county fam
lies. and since she finds she cannot kill
With disapproval she seems inclined to
initiate.
But here comes a difficulty, an insu-
perable obstacle of race. What an Amer
lean can do, with a sort of airy audacity
quite her own, is apt to become rather
heavy horseplay with her English cous-
ms. The explanation of this seems to be
that the American type is more spir
ituelle Our women may be eccentric,
unconventional and even sometimes
what might be called fast, but they are
rarely, if ever, coarse. An innate re-
inement and GOODNESS of temperament
save them from vulgarity, and give to
their manners the daring courage of orig
inality that foreigners admire.

Georgia Women Journalists.

The intense activity of the Georgia
newspaper press superinduced by the
Atlanta exposition has brought promi
nently into notice a number Of women
writers who have sprung up in that
commonwealth almost entirely within
the last decade. A careful comparison
shows that they are fully equal to their
sisters in New York, Massachusetts and
Illinois who have had the advantage
of an experience of about twice as long.
There is not the same high pressure of
life in Dixie as in YankeedOm. People
down there have more leisure time than
those up here, and the papers reflect it
in giving more attention to social, liter
airy and similar events. These fields are
covered almost exclusively by women
writers and are described in the public
prints in a manner worthy of the first
class dailies of the north. Signed arti-
cles are more common also in the south,
SO that the public is much better ac
quainted with the personalities of the
writers who entertain them day by day
than they are in this part of the Union.
In Atlanta the leading women are
Mrs. Maud Andrews Oil, Mrs. William
who are connected with the Atlanta
Constitution; Miss COrinne Stocker,
Miss Mary Louise Huntley, Miss Brent
Whiteside, Miss Mary jackson of the
Atlanta Journal. In other sections are
Miss Ellen Dortch, who is now the as
sistant state librarian; Miss Josephine
Hill and Mrs. COulding of the Savannah
Press Miss Higbee, the novelist; Mrs.
Mary E. Bryan, the story teller; Miss
Orelia Key Bell, the poet; Miss Lollie
Bell Wylie, also a poet and essayist;
Mrs. Emily Battey, a veteran editor,
and Miss Emily McLaws of the Augusta
Chronicle. These are the leaders of a
large body of intelligent and ambitious
women. All are marked by a deep love
for their profession, a strict loyalty to
the paper with which they are connected
and a broad enthusiasm for the eleva-
ton and higher education of their sex.

school No. last summer Mrs. Ellen
Rigney has been janitress of this school
for so long that the little girls of gen.
Grafton or more ago are now sending
their own children to the same old

"Aunty Rigney." When the steam heat
ing plant was put in, there was need Of
an engineer. Two men, Gallagher and
Devaney, were candidates, but the board
elected Mrs. Rigney. Then the president
of the board said that if Mrs. Rigney's
appointment was not rescinded he would
resign. A compromise was reached, I'M

Mrs. Sheridan and Her Children.

Mrs. Irene Rucker Sheridan, widow
Of the late General Phil Sheridan, is
still young woman, writes V. Stuart
Mosby Coleman from Washington in
Ladies' Home Journal. She is slender,
almost girlish in figure, and dresses with
exquisite taste in dark colors. She is
graceful and willowy, and carries her
dainty head with an air of aristocratic
ease. Her dark hair waves slightly into
a becoming bang, her eyes are brown
and bright, while the contour of her face
is delicate oval. In manner she is sim
pie and kindly, her birth and breeding
showing plainly in the ease with which
she meets all of her social duties and
the tact of her cordial bearing. Mrs.
Sheridan is rather retiring and is de-
voted to her home and children. She
orders the conduct of her household even
to the details, and personally superin-
tends the studies of her SOB, who bears
the name of his illustrious father, of
whom he is a speaking likeness. She
finds time also to indulge her tastes for
music and painting, for fancy needle
work and for the demands of charities.
Until within year or two Mrs Sheri
dan has entertained rarely, except in the
way of small dinner parties and informal
evenings for friends.
The Sheridan children are a bright
and interesting group. There are four of
them: Mary, the eldest, who was pre-
sented to society last winter; the twins,
Irene and Louise-of whom the general
was SO proud-who will make their So
cial debut during the present season. and
Phil Junior, who is nearing his four
teenth birthday. The girls are just such
daughters as might be expected of such a
mother-pleasant, affable, we'll manner
ed, well educated, sweet and simple,
full of life and spirit. In young Phil
great hopes are centered. He goes to
school in Washington, but when he is
old enough his mother will have him
sent to West Point.

A Heroic Woman.

There are heroic women even in these
degenerate days. Such a one was Edith
Ledingham, the stewardess of the Iona,
the English boat which caught fire off
Clacton not long ago. First among them
to escape from the women's quarters,
which the flames attacked first, was the
stewardess, and she was the first and
only one oreturn. A child's cry pierced
her ears. s'That child must be saved 70

mains of herself and the child, locked
hand in hand, were found in the cabin
when the flames had been subdued.

are employed as stevedores at the East
India docks. They have been loading
and unloading vessels. So far the ex-
pertinent has been confined to vessels
used for the transit of mineral water
bottles and light articles of a similar
character. Down to the present the men
stevedores have manifested no opposi-
ton, but are inclined to regard the new
departure with amusement. The women
stevedores have already formed a dis
tinct union of their own.

devotes nearly column of Its editorial
space to advise to Governor Hastings
in his present battle with Senator
Quay. Among other things 1t says:
"Governor Hastings cannot be 80 blinded
by prejudice or Ill advised counsels as not
to see that the retrbutive blows Of the
present factional fight are falling upon

Ever.lncreasing Deficit.

Three months ago Secretary Carlisle
solemnly assured the country that
when the new fiscal year opened the
revenues Of the treasury would not only
be equal to the expenditures, but that
a surplus would appear. The new fiscal
year commenced July 1, and the treas
ury report for the first month Of the
year is at hand. 1t shows that Secre-
tary Carlisle does not understand the
financial situation any better now than
ne did when he became the head Of the
treasury department. For the first
month OF the new fiscal year there ap-
pears a deficit exceeding $4,000, 900.
This IL even worse than was anticipat-
ed by the worst Of the calamity howl
ers." who had been predicting de-
fcit Of from five to six millions for the
month of July.
1t has long since become apparent
to national financiers like Senator
Sherman. who comprehend the situa-
tion, that there will be no improve
ment in the condition of the treas
ury until there Is q radical change
in our tariff and revenue policy. On
at least two occasions within the past
two years, or since Cleveland's admins
tration came into existence, the govern
ment was able to meet It's obligations
only by resorting to an issue Of bonds
to replehish the treasury with borrowed
money. The Cleveland administration
has added immensely to the interest
bearing debt Of the nation and the end
evidently has not yet been reached.
Commencing the new fiscal year with a
deficit Of more than $10.0O0.OOO for the
first month, Is certainly not very
hopeful outlook. II kept up at the
same rate the balance Of the year a de-
fcit exceeding 312o.0oo,Ooo will be in
