ADDRESSED BY A WOMAN.
Compliment Paid to One by tue German
 Evangelical Social Congress.

For the first time in it's history the Evangelical Social congress of Germany has listened to a woman speaker. More over, 1t invited the woman to speak to it. This marks a step in woman's progress in Germany, for it is still forbidden there, in the Prussian law. to form clubs or to meet for the purpose of public speaking.
 The woman upon whom this honor WAS conferred was Frau Elizabeth Gnauck of Berlin, and she addressed the congress on the subject of the position of women. Frau Gnauck divided all womankind Into two ciasses--the laboring, which suffers from having too much to do and the lel- sure which suffers from not having enough to do. In her opinion the old time, before the introduction of machinery had given the well to do too much leisure and the poor too much work, when the housewife was busy from morning till night with 6 never ending round of household duties, was the golden age of women.
 This view was naturally attractive to the conservative audience she addressed, and it paid her the compliment of long and loud applause. All her suggestions were of an eminently practical order. She advocated the appointing of women fac tory inspectors, school commissioners and the like.-New York World

AFTER F0RTY-sIx YEARS.
William Chambers Returns to Find His
 Wife n Widow.

William Chambers Returns to Fiad His
 Wife n Widow
 A case bordering upon the supernatural and almost surpassing credulity has devel- oped near Deinotte, Jasper county, ind, by the return of William Chambers after an absence of 46 years It was in the spring of 1S49 that Chambers, then 8 young man of 23, left his wife bride of 15 months, and one child, babe i'll the cradle, to seek fortune for his family He sold his property except the family home, and with q, 900 in his possession started overland for the Pacific coast, whence came stories of fortunes made in a day
 Chambers took up claim, and letters to his wife told of the wealth which he was steadily accommodating He was gone year when the letters stopped coming. The wife did not despair She still chung to the hope and belief that he would re- turn, and months lapsed into years and still Chambers was missing. Finally Mrs. Chambers, after ten years of hopeless waiting, became reconciled to the belief that her husband was dead, and the som Der black widows weeds were worn as evidence of her sorrow
 U left Indiana in search of a fortune Mrs Chambers again married, and to her sec ond union five children were born all of whom are now living. Her second hus- band name was Wilke, and he lived un- til 1891, dying at the age of 70 years and leaving his wife ill indigent circumstances
 A few days since, Chambers, aged 69, his figure bowed with the weight of years, returned to the home at the threshold of which farewells had been said nearly half q century before. He did not expect to find his wife, who had mourned him as lost to her forever, but it was to learn her fate. to locate the whereabouts Of the child, who had grown to manhood, that he had left California where his fortune had been made
 The sequel was that he found i'll Mrs. Wilke the bride of his youth, the wife whose long silence had forced him to believe had gone out of his life forever. Chambers says that the success on which he had at first calculated did not materiaiize. He became discouraged and fearful that the news Of his failure would be a crushing blow to his wife, and he ceased to write her. When time came that fortune was within his grasp, word reached him that she had died of broken heart He then gave up his life to the pursuit of wealth, at the same time hoping that his fortune would become the inheritance Of his only son, of whose whereabouts he was also in ignorance. The long separated couple will again live together, and comfortable fortune will insure them against want as long as their lives shall last-St Louis Republic.

TO SEE HIS GRACE
The Vulgar Curiosity to Get a Glimpse of
 the Duke of Marlborough.

the Duke of Marlborough.
 1T the Duke of Marlborough were sacred white elephant with two trunks and could eat hay with both of them at the same time, he could not be an object of greater curiosity than he is as the fianee of Miss Consuelo Vanderbilt
 The Waldorf hotel. where his grace is stopping, is simply oyercrowded with peo pie whose one purpose is to catch glimpse of the distinguished Englishman.
 Women who seem to be ill other respects we'll bred hang about the hotel parlors and corridors trying to conceal their eagerness to see the wonder of the Say, but failing most dismally.
 Nor is this curiosity confined wholly to the gentier sex.
 Many q man comes nosing around the Waldorf these days asking chance ac- quaintanee if the duke is visible anywhere and the outcome of it all is that we are forced to conclude that a British eoronet is of as much interest to the Republicans and Democrats of Now York city as it is to the monarchists of Great Britain
 I wonder if we are really all a set of frauds, and if our much yaunted belief In equality and government of the people, etc., is q mockery.
 It would seem so when we observe care fully the manner in which our people are now crowding after a callow, everyday sort Of youth, whose only distinction is that he has inherited title and is going to marry q fortune.
 As the days increase and the wedding approaches this curiosity will grow, and I shall not be surprised if on the wedding day it would require all the force at Teddy Roosevelt's command to keep the multi tude from literally tearing down the house in which the ceremony is to be held.
 But for all the curiosity that obtains concerning the duke very little of 1t is gratified

Interesting to Ethnologist..

Mir. Leopoldo Batres, the official curator of Mexican antiquities, is preparing pa per for the congress Of Americanists which will assemble in this city on the 18th of October, in which he will attempt to dem onstrate that Mexico was originally peo- pied from Africa and Asia. He will pre- sent an Indian If each of the various races now existing ill the country, of Ottomi, Tarasco, Maya Aztec, etc., origin, with q Chinainan and a Japanese and show viva voce the similarity of languages. Mr. Batres will attempt to show that the Mayas of Yucatan are of Japanese origin, the Toltecs of Chinese origin, and that some of the other races arc of Hindoo ex- traction. The linguistic test will be the Lords Prayer, recited by each of his living Indian specimens, so that the comparison of their, languages can be made practically by the congress.
 It is the opinion of the learned anti quarian that our Indians are mainly of Mongolian origin and pertain, as he terms 1t, to the yellow skin family He will also exhibit skulls of the various branches of the Mongolian race and com pare them with those of the Mexican races. Mexican Herald

A TALK METER WANTED.
Grand Chance For an Inventive Man to
 Make Millions.

Make Millions.
 A crying need in the telephone busi- ness, said J. R. Malloy of the Central Pennsylvania Telephone company after an examination of the Washington Telephone Exchange, is q talk meter-that is some sort of an automatic arrangement by which language can be measured off by the yard Philadelphia is approaching the idea. The Bell Telephone company there gives what is called measured service rates, the meas urement, being determined by the number of calls or connections, each five minutes conversation or fraction thereof being counted q call This gives subscribers rates i'll proportion to the use of their in- struments. The city service recently in- trodueed there Is very much upon the principle of the long distance service be- tween cities.
 Some method will have to be adopted to stop the effusiye language over the wires Seven hundred and fifty million telephone messages were sent over the wires last year, averaging about ten mes sages to every man, woman and child in the United States Telegrams never ex- ceeded one per head per year, which shows that the telephone system may eventually entirely supersede the telegraph. In 1885 there was only one long distance line ex- tending between Philadelphia and New York Today the system has 265, 900 miles of wire, and SIT, 300, 900 is the estimated investment in telephone property. A com fortable share of the telephone investment would go to the man who would invent a talk meter. Washington Post

Want a Bull Fight Too.

A movement has been set on foot at San Antonio, Tex, to give a series of genuine bull fights in the city immediately after the Corbett- -Fitzsimmons contest at Dallas. An effort will be made to induce Ponciano Diaz the celebrated bullfighter and mata- dore of Mexico, to take his troop of fighters and Durango bulls there. 1t is believed if Governor Culberson does not prevent the Corbett- Fitzsimmons fight he will not interfere with the proposed bull fights. = New York Recorder

A LONDON dispatch says Archibald R. Colquhoun, the traveller and journalist, after returning from a tour of inspection of the Nicaragua Canal, said it would be of more i'm portance to the Western Hemisphere than the Suez canal was to the Eastern world, and the political and commercial changes which it's suc- cess would entail made it necessary that Great Britain should make every endeavor to secure it's neu- trality if she desired to maintain her trade isi the far East. Probably that is why Great Britain is So anxious to get an interest in the canal of late.

SOUTH CARoLINA's PROBLEM.

The magnitude of the question of dis franchising the colored brethren of South Carolina is shown by the figures of the latest census, which puts the population of the state at 462, GOO white and 6Ss, 900 black The preponderance of the blacks over the whites is no greater there, how ever, than it is in Mississippi, where the new constitution practically shuts out the colored voters. = Boston Herald
 It is impossible to frame any constitu- tional provision that will disfranchise all the negroes and give the whites the right to vote. If that is attempted in the Pal metto State, as we are assured it will be, it will result only ia an unconstitutional measure which will cause the state trou- ble hereafter and affect unfayorably and disastrously those other states which are attempting to settll the suffrage question under the constitution, but in such a man ner as will assure the permanency Of white supremacy. - New Orleans Times Dem- ocrat.
 The whole purpose of the convention as far as known is to find some solution of the negro question. Whatever plan is adopted by the convention will stand. as the constitution arranged by them will not be submitted to q vote of the people. The question is hedged about with more difficulties than the people in the north can understand, but it must be settled without an evasion ot the constitution and without doing anything to influence racial prejudice in the south. Kansas City Star.
 The towns of the slate are declared to be suffering from an influx of colored idlers and Il special qualification of the suffrage to meet their case is under discussion.

The Time Has Come.


Thetime has come when the truth
should be told about the Democratic
managers. The party must be dis
associated from the men who have
brought disgrace and shame upon it,
if it expects to make successful ap-
peal for the support of the people
next November. The effect of
Mr.. lRayner'S attack on the machine
has been to excite the bosses to re-
newed activity. There is no longer
any attempt to conceal their pur-
poses Of controlling nominations.
The humility of a few months ago
has been cast aside and the bosses
are openly and arrogantly in the
field. Unless the rank and file of
the party take matters in their own
hands, the alternative will be pres
ented at the fall election of voting
for a ticket which will mean the
continuance of the German Rasin
machine, with all that that signifies
at Washington, Annapolis and in
Baltimore city, or of remaining
away from the polls and allowing
the State to step into the Republi-
can column.
There is no question more impor-
tant in this campaign than that of
bossism. A system which has put
in the Senate of the United States
as the representative of the Demo-
cracy in Maryland the most potent
ally of the Republicans, the friend
and champion of the trusts and the
open and secret enemy of the Dem
ocratic president, has become odious
to the people and they are resolved
upon its destruction. The people
of Baltimore city are no less resolute
in their determination to smash
boss rule in municipal affairs.
The fight is not against the DEM
ocratic party but against those who
have used and abused it. 1t is a
question of a thorough house clean
ing within the party or CRUSHING
defeat at the hands of the enemy
