Dcnth orMrs. stnmn

Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe. who died
at Hartford. Conn, was a wo-
man of considerable literary attain-
ments. but her reputation as an author
ess would have been neither lasting
nor extensive had It not been for her
anti-slavery romance of "Unclei Tom 5
Cabin" False as picture of the pc
cultar institution" unjust in the iIu-
preston which 1t created of the South
ern people. artitcial in tone and melo-
dramatic in style. 1t was an immediate
| land an immense success because 1t
gave popular expression to the ruling
feeling OF the time In the Northern
ana Western sections OF this countrvand
In England. Nobody stopped to INQUIRE
how far Uncle Toms Cabin" repre-
sentcd truth or how close IL came to
the zeal conditions at the South. Facts
ana arguments were not wanted so
much at that time as something to fire
the sectional heart. Mrs Stowe fur
nished this In her story, which appealed
dramatically 10 popular prejudice and
helped ultimately TO unloose the dogs
OF war, FAR ilercer and more dreadful
than the bl0odhOunds OF her fiction.
Sincere and conscientious as she unuues-
tiunably was, her book did a great wrong
10 the South in the effort to do a great
right TO the negro. and il assisted i'm
exciting passions, which inflicted deem
ana terrible wounds upon the whole
country. She w1ls only one, however of
many III both sections who shared this
general responsibility, and probably Xix
them she regretted too late that the
question of slavery had not been settled
by peaceful and Christian methods ia tn
/ er than by war. Like most OF the Beech
ers, she had the crusading spirit. and
with their individuality and strong in
teliectuality possessed decided tllstc
FOR the Sensational. This was indicated

Gates very clearly that the market is

ed Ito close the mills for the next two
