AN UNFORTUNATE CASE

From the Philadelphia Times.
1t Is within the memory of the present
generation that Miss Anna Dickinson was
the most popular, and was regarded as one
of the most eloquent of women on the
forum In this or any other country. She
vas not only great on the lecture platform
but she was equally great on the hustings
and was one of the most forceful and per-
hsuaslve OF public speakers. Today she Is
broken alike In mental and physical
powers and her last appearance before
the public was as plaintiff In an action
against her own sister and several doctors
sought TO save her from herself by con-
finng her In an asylum. The case was
tried last week before Judge Acheson In
the United States court, and naturally at
tracted much attention. Miss Dickinson
appeared upon the stand several times
during her trial. and all who have noted
hdr testimony and the exhibitions OF
mental disturbance she has so clearly cx-
hibited win be amazed TO learn that the
jury failed to agree, and that eight OF the
twelve were In favor of a verdict giving
her damages against hor friends for one
of the kndest acts that could have been
performed by friendship. The case Is thus
postponed until another meeting OF the
court, and unless she shall regain II higher
standard of mental health. the whole con-
troversy Will have to be gone over again
with the reasonable certainty that under
no circumstances can she ever obtain a
yar1ipt

JUSTICE WELL APPLIED.

E. A. Niven in the Wilkes-Barre Record.
At the conclusion of the long tral in
which Anna Dickinson appeared as prose-
cutor, the famous woman was besieged
at her hotel, we are told, by a crowd of
enterprising reporters and not few fe-
male sympathizers. With all due defer
ence to the latter there are those down
this way who know something of the Dick
nson family and the misfortunes that
have faced its members within the last
decade, who are slightly averse to indors-
ing the note said to have been sent to Miss
Dickinson on Wednesday afternoon in
which it was set forth that "the women
of Scranton earnestly hope for her en-
tire vindication." 1t is not believed that
the thoughtful women of Scranton sub
scribe to this sentiment because they
know II involves the arraignment of an
other woman, whose marvellous patience,
enduring affection and painful sacrifices
have fully established her claims to high
regard. That woman Is Annals gifted sis
ter, Susan. Only those close In her conf
dence, and who have watched her career
since her distinguished sister forsook the
lyceum for the stage. are acquainted with
the genuinely unselfsh and abiding love
for the one woman in the whole world
who best knew and understood its sig
nificance, Anna Dickinson herself. Anna s
vlndlcation would in a certain sense have
been n substantiation of her bitter charges
against her devoted sister, and an I'M
measurable injustice would have been re-
corded. Surely the women of Scranton
who best know Anna Dickinson's sister
Susan. are not willing to justify verdict
involving so gross a libel on her fair and
honored name There must be at least q
few women in Scranton who, while natur-
ally sympathlzing with Miss Anna and her
manifold mlsfortunes as all right-think-
Ing people do, are stll Susan Dickinson's
friends In all the torn implies.

agreement If We in America will only
sit patient for time and watch the
progress of foreign events. Mr.. Clark,
upon the other hand, pronounces boldly
in favor of aggressive action, not first
at London or Berlin, but first at wash
ington. He believes that the United
States, favored by situation, by variety
Of resources, by strength of its form OF
government and by the clear destiny of
Its people to become the leaders of
civilization, may not immodestly nor
unsafely strike blow for bimetalllsm,

The Democratic newspapers are nov
complaining that Governor Mckinley,
at Hartford recently, declared in favor
of re-opening the tariff question. But
they can hardly be so obtuge as to be-
lleve that the country would long sit
content under their defciency-breeding
closing of it. Governor Mckinley is
entirely correct in the belief that the
Republican congress three years hence
will conservatively revise and correct
the more glariag inequalities of the
present patchwork tariff. But they
will not DO this in such way as to in
vite Of precipitate a panic. They are
not ike their friends, the enemy.

The general in battle lives In history,
where the private soldier, his peer in
fortitude. dies unnoticed. At distant
places those who know In Miss Anna
Dickinson the magnificent orator and
patriot of a quarter of a century ago
will not, perhaps. realize the part which
her more modest sister has to play In
the sad drama of today. But we be-
lieve we are speaking for all her neigh

they. at least, do comprehend 1t; and
that. without prejudice to the memory
OF the Anna Dickinson of which history

AS the hotel clerk uttered these words
the newly arrived guest, tall. spare man
of 40, with side whskers, looked up from

One characteristic of this years gowns

always show their Innings when they are
held up. the Innings have come TO be al
most as much a feature of the toilette as
the dress itself. The little godet coats

other pretty fashion that | notice is the
great fancy for gowns of black cloth
trimmed with white. They are not com

one does see them. A very pretty one
worn at the Marchesi recital was of
black cloth, made with short godeted
coat. with revers of white satin under
guipure lace opening on a vest of the
same. The coat was lined with white
satin, and with this was worn toque of
yellow straw trimmed with black quilts
and pompons. Another gown OF black
satin was made with sort of blouse OPP

1t would require many newspaper
columns to adequately explain The details
of the disputes that have arisen between
the two halves of the Scandinavian pc
ninsula, whose people are of kindred
race. speaking practically the same
tongue. and have been bound together
in political union since 1914; but the I'M
mediate disturbing cause is the refusal
of King Oscar to dissolve the present
Conservative ministry of Norway and
form a new one, the members of which
should be chosen from the leaders of the
Radicals or Extreme Left. He gave mis-
decision in this matter to the Norwegian
storthing or congress, in February Of
the present year. and, though the sever
est pressure has since been brought to
bear upon him, has resolutely adhered
TO his ultimatum ever since, though so
Critical has the situation now become
that between the writing and printing OF
this article the situation may have
changed materially.
Until within two or three years kiIg
Oscar has been able, by reason of his pow
ers of diplomacy and unusual level-headed-
ness, to maintain excellent relations with
both parties. and his disinclination at this
time TO form a Radical ministry is said to
be based more upon personal than political
grounds. Some time ago Deputy Rand. in

actenzation, and this refusal has caused
King Oscar TO declare that there is no pro-
vision in the Norwegian constitution maxi

legislative branch of the government.
In order 10 make the Radical demands
clear, IL will be necessary 10 devote a few
lines to the early history OF the Scanii-
navians. Undoubtedly the Danish. Swea-
ish and Norwegian races were originally
one. but differences of environment have
developed marked differences in language,
customs and character. In the eighth.
ninth and tenth centuries the Vikings of
Norway were known and feared in many
lands but. with the introduction of Chris
tianity, in the eleventh century, the Morse
